Directors Cut vs Theatrical cut


which cut do you like better?

im split on both versions:

i like the Theatrical release because it has the awesome "Loved by the sun" song in it and Jack and Lily run off together in the end.

on the other hand i like the Directors cut because it has better character development, the suspense of finding out what Darkness really looks like is kept hidden til the last 20 minutes of the film the score is really creepy in most scenes as well.

so if i had to pick i'd say the Directors cut

Theatrical. It's the one I grew up with like most people and
I like Tangerine Dream's score. The only things I like about
the Director's Cut is Jerry Goldsmith's score at the beginning
and the longer conversation between Darkness & Lily.
