The Blu-ray cropping is different than the GOUT. Some shots may have been reframed for the 97SE, or the 2004 version, but in general, it seems that the 2004/11 transfer is positioned a bit higher and more to the left than the GOUT.

EDIT: Here are the cropping estimates I promised: http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/Cropping-the-Original-Trilogy-35mm-vs-dvd-gout/post/595678/#TopicPost595678

The more GOUT framing estimates I do, the more I see that the cropping is very consistent, and not as severe as your original comparisons imply.

good deal,

and thanks for that.. overall it might not be as severe,

but there are frames that exhibit that large amount,

overall it's still probably 5-15% throughout the movie.
