The original is one of one my top 10 favorites so I bought it again (vhs, laser disk and dvd). It was the new Redux version this time around and I must say it sucked. You can't come back 20 years later and add complete new sections to a film and not expect it to have a different feel. I would have liked Francis to have taken all the new stuff and made a companion flick to the original. I can't wait to get this on blu in the original format. If you've never seen the film before then you might like the Redux version but any fan who has seen it a few times would most likely prefer the theatrical cut. I felt the same way with "1941" - all the additional scenes bogged down the film and totally changed it.
