I have the same DVD from 1997. It's still my favourite version to watch however there is slight cropping compared to the BD release.

I haven't watched the Dr Sapirstein fanedit all the way through yet and on paper it should be the best version out there. But having flicked through, I found the green tint a bit off putting.  However when comparing these 3 releases side by side the blue tint on the BD appears just as extreme as the green.

Perhaps there is a potential project for maintaining the more naturalistic colour timing of the 1997 DVD (and VHS?) release whilst getting HD and the most picture information as possible from the BD.  Also restore the WB logo, jump cut of Karras' face and original theatrical mono.
