This was a nice a discussion until someone decided to go onto collision course.

Thanks to the three of you.

Let's not get too dramatical here. It didn't even last a page. 

Personally I found it funny Dr. Professor said I needed to get new glasses when he was the one reading it wrong. 

Sorry to everyone for derailing 3/4 of a page in the thread

Not to mention that the film credits title has nothing to do with what we put in the "Title" field.

And just to remind everyone: We had (almost) the same discussion half a year ago with King Arthur: Directors Cut: Extended Unrated Version

Look in the edition drop-down. "Director's Cut" is something we are specifically told to put in the edition field, so it's well established this field is to be used both to describe editions of the movie and editions of the DVD. The only reason this isn't called a director's cut is an earlier cut already got called that. "Blade Runner" is the title and the rest is edition if it will fit.

What it says in the film credits is totally irrelevant to what the Title field should contain!  Try reading the Rules. "Take the Title from the front cover".

When you do as the Rules state, the Title is "Blade Runner", with subtext under it which says "The Final Cut".

Based on that, the title field should contain "Blade Runner: The Final Cut", the Edition field should contain "Two-Disc Special Edition" and the Original Title field should contain whatever shows up in the opening credits of the film (don't have it immediately available), unless the opening credits show "Blade Runner: The Final Cut" in which case the Original Title field should be left blank.

Why do we always make this so much more difficult than it actually is?   

You are reversing your argument that you made for "King Arthur". aren't you?

How is this following the rules.

Quote:
Episode descriptors are part of the title; separate them with a colon and space; e.g. "Star Trek III: The Search for Spock". For multiple descriptors, use a colon and space for each break.

The final cut is not an episode descriptor.  It does not express the next movie in the series, like star trek in the above example.  therefore it could not be Blade Runner:The Final Cut

So now the question is, "Is it part of the title itself".  If it is part of the title itself, then it would be
Blade Runner The Final Cut  (no colon)

Since it is not the title of the movie, then it must folow another part of the rules

Quote:
The Edition field is for distinguishing between DVDs, and for indicating special versions and collections (for example The Criterion Collection, Widescreen, Full-Screen Edition). It's usually safe to use one of the built-in selections if appropriate. If you are using a non-standard description, take it from the DVD box, and ensure it will help distinguish between different releases of the same title.

It is no different than "The Directors Cut" "Special Edition" "Unrated Directors Cut"

The title is Blade Runner

The Edition is The Final Cut:Two-Disc Special Edition

I should point out there are lots and lots of these situations, for instance, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring: Special Extended DVD Edition: New Line Platinum Series, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves: Extended Version: Two-Disc Special Edition, Almost Famous: Untitled: The Bootleg Cut: Director's Edition, Battle Royale: Director's Cut: Special Edition, Frank Herbert's Dune: Director's Cut: Special Edition: 3-Disc DVD Set.

Have another one:
Alexander: Revisited: The Final Cut
Perhaps a little bit more dividing the users in if it's a Edition or part of the title, but imho the same: Both is Edition.

Btw, is it ruled how to sperate the Editions?
Would it be wrong to write
Alexander: Revisited -The Final Cut?
