If you can get the DVD versions that were released when the "special edition" versions came out, they come with bonus discs that have the original, untouched, theatrical versions.
I just ordered unopened vhs copies. I’m gonna digitize them, then clean them up and color correct them, then copy them to a Blu Ray.
I don’t know how easy they are to get, but the Laserdisc versions are a high picture quality than the VHS... that does require having a Laserdisc player which is no small investment, but we make sacrifices for what we love. If I remember my cousin’s copies from my childhood they have commentary tracks too.
@Freiberg It’ll be too expensive to buy a laserdisc player/ riper and those laserdiscs. It won’t be the highest quality, but at least they will be the originals, plus I will bring them into premiere and color correct them.
