    So my enquiry still remain as to whether such an edition is available.

    The Deer Hunter was filmed in Anamorphic 2.35:1 Panavision, which is the ratio it is meant to be viewed in. Nothing is missing from the top and bottom.

    If you view it in 16:9 it is the sides of the picture which are cut off. This butchering, not 'enhancement'.
    Narabdela,

    Nowhere did I mention that anything was missing if were to exercise care to read and not jump to conclusion.
    I just said the Top and Bottom black horizontal lines were shaved off the real estate and not referring to the original image.

    "enhanced" is used in some DVD descriptive details as in The Godfather Part 1, 2 and 3 where it is mention "Widesrceen Version Enhanced for 16:9 T.Vs " It is more comfortable to watch as it fills the TV screen optimally by the producer/publisher .

    There is no need to be combative and with your innuendo of a brick wall it smacks of intolerance which I do not believe is in accordance with the spirit of this forum.

    If one cannot lend a helping hand, withdraw it instead of flailing it.

    We are here to assist/advice one another to enjoy audio/video.

    Live and let live.

    Must admit Ying, I also thought you were saying that you were losing chunks of the actual picture rather than just screen real estate.

    Your solution is to get a larger screen since I doubt that The Deerhunter is the only good film unavailable in 16:9 - It isn't possible to have too large a screen

    Great film btw and one of my all-time favourites.

    The common movies are filmed in widescreen 2.35:1.

    Most viewers who watch Dvds would have known that such movies often appear on TV screens with black bands on top and bottom of their screens taking 1/3 of the screens particularly on 16:9 screens.

    Their experience would be sufficient to have provided them with the knowledge that " the Top and Bottom are cut off" cannot be referring to the images being shaved-off top and bottom in the manner that a star's hair or feet are cut-off. It can only refer to the horizontal black bars occupying the real estate giving the impression of a "cut-off Top and Bottom"


    On whatever TV screen it is shown , the 2.35:1 ratio would be displayed in that format.

    Words should not be taken literally but in the context of one's experience.

    Some who are genuine would be honest with their conclusion while others would take pleasure in twisting for personal satisfaction.

    I rest my case !

    And it is the case that some films shown on televisison do have parts of the actual picture cut out due to re-sizing to fit the screen. Unlikely to be part of an actor missing,since they are generally framed centre shot, but sides, top and bottom can go missing this way.

    It may not really matter, but it isn't watching the film as the director intended.
