I can't get used to the aspect ratio. It was shown in theaters as a Panavision film (2.35:1), and the DVD is framed as a widescreen movie (1.85:1).
Supposedly, that's how Stanley wanted it .... but I have a hard time believing it was exhibited theatrically in an aspect ratio that control freak Stanley Kubrick disapproved of.
That said, it's one of my favorite movies and I'll be buying the new DVD. (reissues of A Clockwork Orange and 2001: A Space Odyssey are also coming out, um, today in fact.)
