Which DVD print of Desperado and Scarface should I buy?

[Chris_Bailey]

As you probably already know, there are different versions of the DVD out there, and I was wondering which is best. I will show visual representations if needed...

I have the 20th anniversary double disc edition of Scarface, it's good ********. The second disc has a bunch of documentaries on the making of and it's influence...

I was deciding between that one, or the collector's edition. I'd like to know the difference between the two.

20th Anniversay edition:

These are the two different Desperados:

Even though this one's Superbit, I'd get the other if it had more extras, etc.:

Definitely the 1930 Paul Muni version. The remake, despite the big-name stars, just replaces a true-to-life poignant story with flashy ultraviolence. And skip the ending added after the Hays Office censors insisted.

Say hello to your little friend, and see if you can handle yourself a couple of free cds for both movies.

Ok I'll have to hunt for an old copy of that.....but as to my current predicament, which do I pick?
