Can't decide which one to buy - The 25th Anniversary Edition or The Version You've Never Seen???? Can you help me out?

In terms of extras (and my personal favorite version of the film), "25th Anniversary" wins out:

Yeah, the 25th anniversary is better. Some of the deleted scenes from TVYNS are in the fear of god documentary anyway....but I'd reccomend buying both. I did. And it's good to be able to choose which one you want to watch. They should make an SE DVD that gives you the option to watch either....

Obviously the 25th Anniversery, but it's also a much better version of the film. Plus many more special features. I also really like the documentary. It goes on so long that it's almost like a bonus movie.

Alright, cool...thanks a lot. I was leaning towards that one, any apprehension I had came from the more recent release of The Version You've Never Seen.

Keep in mind that there were 2 DVD release of the original cut.  A plain version and the Special Edition with the gold banner.

ive got the 25th anniversary, so my vote is for that one.
