My wife mentioned that she wants to see it, should we see the original film first (I can't remember anything from it, 30+ years)?

Definitely.I'd recommend watching it twice - there are a lot of little things sprinkled throughout that a second viewing will highlight.

Watch the original... Final Cut...

I'm in triple figures for the amount of times I've seen them, as there are 5 versions of the film... still have an original video, which was not a resale item... rental only...

I'm somewhat sad that way...

(key thing to know from the Final Cut/Directors Cut is the dream sequence and Gaff's origami at the end)

Absolutely!  One of the truly visionary pictures, and stunning visually.

When I rode into Tokyo last fall in a bus, it was night. I saw the lights of downtown Tokyo and the very first image that came to my mind was the flying car scenes from Blade Runner.
