I finally got Close Encounters of the Third Kind on Blu-ray today, and truthfully, I haven't seen the movie in years. Since there are 3 versions of the movie, which one is the best? The 1977 original theatrical edition, the 1980 "Special Edition" cut, or the 1998 director's cut? For anyone that has the movie on Blu-ray, please let me know. Thanks!
