Title: WARNING about DVD quality
Review: This is one of the all time favorites. I love this movie but anyone thinking of purchasing the DVD needs to be aware that this DVD plays in Widescreen format ONLY! If your not familar with DVD aspect ratio that means that this movie plays in a window that runs across the middle of a standard TV screen. The top 1/3 and the bottom 1/3 of the TV screen is just black bars. On my 19" that means this movie plays in about a 10" high bar. I have to sit one foot from the TV to watch it. For me this totally destroys the viewing enjoyment of one of the best films ever made. Without a widescreen TV this DVD is just a... frizbee (OK it's 2 frizbees). Most manufactures double side the DVD's so that standard format is on one side and widescreen format is on the other side but 20th Century Fox does not do this for some unknown reason. I recommend that until it is released in standard format just keep watching it on your VHS tape.
