For the five other people who care, the (superior!) theatrical cut of Amadeus is now available for rent and purchase, or streaming on Criterion. It's been unavailable for a couple decades, almost impossible to stream.

Director's is the only one that's been available since around 2002ish. (Some debate about whether it's really the director's cut or just a plain old extended version.) So if you have watched on streaming that's the only version you could get until now.
If you have never seen it, it is absolutely worth the very long (tho not as long as director's cut) run time. I love how committed it is to the idea that people in the 1700's also liked to fuck, make jokes, and be absolute petty bitches.
While (the upper class) is wearing deeply stupid, unbelievably complicated "fashion", which included big/fake hair, heels and make-up for men. Thank you for letting me know. One of my favourite movies. The food scenes are also amazing.
