I got the GF DVD when it came out, like everbody else here. I subsequently lent them to a friend of mine. On his player, they were widescreen, on mine it wasn't.

Can somebody please help me? I also have the tapes and it's weird seeing Brando's and Pacino's faces, et al., artificially elongated.

Is it just a setting problem? If so, then this whole topic is moot, b/c you can just switch b/w widescreen and "normal."
