This is the one I was going to mention. It's interesting that the laserdisc I had kept the height of the frame the same, resulting in 'windowboxing' for the majority of the film while the brainstorm sequences filled the width. The DVD (I have the original MGM but I heard the Warner is the same) keeps the width the same so the image just goes taller or shorter. I think the laserdisc was more accurate to the theatrical experience but they probably feared people would complain about the windowboxing. LOL
