The Abyss: Special Edition
Originally released: 1989
Pretty much the best special edition yet released. The material added to The Abyss transforms the whole movie, filling out the relationships and adding gravitas to the aliens, who now do much more than pop up at the end. As well as these improvements, there's a Cold-War-alike backdrop and a cracking tidal wave denouement; you can't believe this is the same film. Literally special, this version restores your faith in Cameron's brand of techno-histrionics.
