I do agree with all the negative sentiments regarding the P&S format but this is the format I grew up with.
I saw Star Wars in the local cinema in 77 or 78 but it never came to town again. I next saw the film on it's ITV premier in 82/83 and recorded that broadcast which was of course in Fullscreen. That tape eventually got chewed up and spat out by the recorder so various other broadcasts - all Fullscreen - were all recorded. In 1991 I bought the first widescreen release but on a 14" portable TV that looked horrible so I bought a Fullscreen version to watch instead. That was my most watched version till I bought a 42" plasma in 2005.
If the GOUT was in Fullscreen, I would have the best copy available but as it is, I only have transfers of lesser quality which is annoying.
