Close Encounters of the Third Kind Blu-Ray

Post by Fortissimo » Wed Feb 19, 2020 6:03 am

There are three tracks on the Netflix Blu-Ray. I'm curious what the difference is... or is this just playlist obfuscation? Usually obfuscated playlists have a lot more playlists - this is only three. But there is no obvious choice - all three have unique (and believable) durations. Google reports 2:15 for play time - none of these times match that exactly.

Probably the different versions (times rounded up)?

Runtime

2 hr 13 min (133 min) (Special Edition)
2 hr 15 min (135 min) (Theatrical Original)
2 hr 18 min (138 min) (Director's Cut)

I just did a Google search for the director's cut of the movie, found it on Amazon, and sure enough, it's 2:17. So thanks!
