On Nov 13, Close Encounters of the Third Kind - 30th Anniversary Edition will be released. Supposedly, there will be three versions available: the original (Yea! I prefer this to the revised edition), the Collector's Edition, and a Director's Cut Edition. Does anyone know anything about this Director's Cut edition? What is in it/not in it, etc? Thanks in advance! Jim N

Technically, neither are Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea and the Stooges, but they are here. This seemed the most appropriate place... Jim N

Hmm. I've seen Close Encounters at least 20 times since its original release in 1977 (and I saw it then, too), and I also have the deluxe special edition DVD set out a few years back. The sequences of Dreyfuss throwing the garbage through his living room windows and the oceanliner in the desert were all in the original theatrical release. They weren't added in later or "restored." If Spielberg's director's cut doesn't include the "inside the Mothership" finale, what other "special edition" footage is there for him to "keep?" I've never detected any except for what Dreyfuss sees when he enters the ship--and I gotta agree, it was a BIG letdown! They rereleased this so-called "special" edition to theaters, and I saw it then, too...a completely flat and uninspired tack-on, IMO. Rod

the scenes inside the mothership were ambitious but the technology of the time wasn't up to creating Spielberg's vision.
Because---the others were---they were all---eaten.
