I like the Director's Edition of TMP too, but the new sound mix always throws me off - I've seen the VHS version so many times that its sound mix is pretty much ingrained in my neural pathways. I'm not used to there being background SFX in the Klingon scenes, and I keep expecting to hear the old "BORTBORTBORTBORT" alert siren and the computer voice ("Incoming fire. Ahead. Zero. Mark. Zero.").

As for Insurrection, it paid for itself in my video collection with just the line, "I have an odd craving for the blood of a live kolaar beast." :)
