Down Periscope

This is a very funny movie. But why do we not have the widescreen version of this, instead of Pan & Scan? Yes, I know it says here 1.85:1 just like the DVD. But it is not true. The movie is 2.35:1, just look at the trailer. What they have done is Pan & Scanned the movie for standard TV 1.33:1, then to make it fake widescreen, they took the 1.331 P&S picture, chopped off the top and bottom and made it 1.85:1. So, you see actually even less than the standard TV size.

They did the same thing with Top Gun. This is inexcusable.

I wold love to see this movie correctly. The movie is clever, well-written and fun. The lines sick with you.

I do not understand why it did not do well in the theaters. Whenever I mention this movie among friends they all know it and either own it or have seen it.
