If you love the Mann's works, I'd be curious to know your opinion of The Keep. Then again, he has personally disowned it — in part because the studio cut the release cut by more than an hour — but, still, for me it's a real Rorschach Test of his work.
Personally, for me, he can do no wrong.
Definitely suggest diving into THE INSIDER at some point, my favorite Mann.
Also there are two other editions of THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS. I recently picked up the Extended Cut at a library sale & haven't watched yet. Then I just learned of this Director's Definitive Cut.
yeah, back in college and grad school. there are a lot of scene-to-scene and dialogue changes between the two director's versions. theatrical cut is still top for me, I think it flows best. here are some breakdowns of the diffs: https://www.movie-censorship.com/report.php?ID=116790
