I bought the director's cut of Last of the Mohicans. I have always found that film to be remarkably beautiful, both the scenery (filmed in the mountains of North Carolina) and the last 20 minutes of the film, particularly when Alice leaps to her death. Anyway, if like me you always wondered which of the Mohicans was last (the dad, or Hawkeye, the adopted Mohicans), it is settled in the directors cut. At the end of the film the dad proclaims himself the last of the Mohicans.

I don't necessarily recommend the director's cut. It's really only an extra 10-15 minutes or so, and most of that is filler (the Mohicans spending more time running through the woods). The two notable scenes are the bit at the end when we find out which Mohicans is last, and there are 3 extra minutes or so at the siege of Fort William Henry, where major Heyward leads a column of British troops outside of the fort to fight the French and the Indians.
