I would also like to add something.
When I originally bought the trilogy, it hadn't yet come out on widescreen. I was in a record store once and whilst queuing up, I saw someone with a box in their hands. That box contained Raiders, Temple of Doom and Last Crusade on widescreen VHS, PLUS a bonus tape of the Making of Raiders! I knew I had to have it...
When I did eventually get these films on widescreen, it made a great difference to how the films look, and that was before I was lucky enough to own a widescreen television.
Please understand that it's not just a case of a side of a building or a tree getting cut off, its about a whole scene being played around with to fit onto a 'normal' tv.
There are a couple of small things in Temple of Doom on 'widescreen' I noticed that get cut off on the 'fullscreen' edition. The part where Indy is just about to introduce Willie to Captain Blumburt, Indy smiles and gives the Captain a look as if to say (let's just leave her to it huh?) and at the end when Willie says "No more adventures with you Dr. Jones", Harrison smiles in his usual Indylike way *sigh*, which you don't get to see on the 'fullscreen' edition. Okay, this sort of thing might just seem small and insigfincant, but sometimes it's little things like that which are vital to the character. That's the great thing about Ford playing Indy; it can sometimes just be a look that he gives, that kind of thing.
A couple of nights ago, I borrowed Pearl Harbour (on VHS) from a friend, and was pleased to see the word 'Widescreen' on the side of the box. Can you imagine viewing an epic film like this, or films like Gladiator, Braveheart or Titanic, where at least 40% of the action is cut off, and it's fair to say that the Indiana Jones trilogy is epic in itself.
Now, I'm not ripping into people who'd rather have the Indy DVD's in 'fullscreen' format, I'm simply stating that by buying 'fullscreen' you are really missing out on a significant part of the directors 'dream'. If I was a director, I would be extremely upset to see my vision cut up, just so it can fit on a square tv.
