Forced on the theatrical release because the movie execs didn't understand
it.

I like the director's cut because you actually learn that Deckard is a
replicant too, whereas they don't really touch on it in the theatrical
release. It is very surrealistic, like 2001, but then I like Pink Floyd
too. :-) It makes you think more.
