A lot of times the full screen version would show more visual
information than the widescreen original, making for an interesting
reference point. For instance, De Palma's Body Double, where you can
see more Barbara Crampton nudity in the beginning of the film in the
full screen version than the widescreen version, which is nice though a
true widescreen DVD purist would no doubt avert his head and say
noooooooooo, Brian De Palma never intended the viewer to see that much
nakedness.
