I wouldn't say it's the best movie ever personally but I did like it a lot - definitely liked it a lot more than Citizen Kane, that's for sure.

BTW. this is how I watch all 1.33:1 films - the red curtain makes it feel like I'm actually watching it in an old cinema.

I have both the DVD and the even more now rare OOP BD of this by Criterion, and while their decision to embed pillars so as to ensure people watch it "correctly" on 16:9 displays was controversial, one can argue why they did it (essentially it was more to ensure less picture loss due to overscan of older or weird current sets that still tend to do this).

Anyhow, I don't think red curtain pillars are great for preserving stuff, but if you like it for screening things, hey that's your call. :) Everyone likes different things.
