Wasn't Top Gun filmed in Academy ratio and the only way to see the academy version is on LD? I just bought this version of Top Gun on LD and I believe it's academy ratio, although the listing here says Pan & Scan. |

I just bought this version of Top Gun on LD and I believe it's academy ratio, although the listing here says Pan & Scan. Top Gun was shot in Super35, so it would be possible for the original release to be the full, un-cropped frame, but I've never seen mention if it's a panned and scanned transfer or the full frame.

mlcsmith wrote: Capricorn One: PSE - has AC3 and is in the theatrical aspect ratio. Both the DVD and blu-ray versions I've seen are P&S with Dolby stereo surround. Blu ray pan & scan? Wow, that's a shocker. I still enjoy the 1978 version of Invasion Of the Body Snatchers on LD over the dvd and blu ray. Nighthawks on LD still has the correct soundtrack which I can't believe no one ever comments on.
