Sometimes Fullscreen is Better
I own only one Fullscreen Dvd when I could of bought Widescreen instead. You think I'm nuts don't you? Well, Scarface is my most favorite movie and I just wanted it to fill the whole screen. Anyone else done this?

I prefer the Fullscreen version of Citizen Kane over the Widescreen, even though the Widescreen version did have the DTS audio (they removed that icky mono track to make room for it) and some cool added scenes with really good CGI.

I NEVER would consider wrongscreen when rightscreen is available.

Crazy? No
Foolish? Without a doubt.
If you had at least a basic working knowledge of Full Screen (Formatted Full Screen and not shot Full Frame is what I am referring to) vs Widescreen..which is HOW Scarface was filmed, you would realize you spent money on a bastardized version of your favorite film.
Go out, get Scarface in Widescreen...cause despite the black bars..you SEE MORE MOVIE than in Formatted full screen...
when you get it home and realize this, you can use the "fool screen" version as a coaster to set your beer on as you happily watch your favorite movie in all its widescreen glory.

I hope you only paid half of what the widescreen version cost.

I only own a handful of full-screen DVDs which are non-OAR and I only own them because the widescreen OAR versions are not available, e.g. With Honors, Fearless, etc. Even though these are the ONLY releases available on DVD, it still hurt
