Either ending is fine for me, but I watched the director's cut a couple months ago, and I'd have to say I thought it dragged a bit without the narration. I know it's sacrilege, but I can see why they thought the narration was necessary. I don't know if I would say it's one of the best ever, but it's one of my favorites. It still looks great. Vangelis has such an odd sound, that I don't think the soundtrack has suffered with age, either. kj.
