You know George, they really aren't very good films. I don't want the originals because they were good, I want the originals because those afternoons spent sitting in the theater in 1977 (and 1980, and 1983) were memorable experiences for me, and the original cuts evoke those times in a visceral way.
It's not about seeing "your" movies, it's about reliving parts of my youth the way I remember them. These are my memories, not yours. Grow up.
