I remember watching it multiple times on DVD. I saw it again when they did the wide-screen remaster, and was a little underwhelmed. It might have been because I was watching using Now TV in the UK, which is the absolute worst way to watch anything, but I thought the wide-screen version unintentionally changed the framing of some scenes. For example: if you show two characters sitting together in 4:3, it doesn't convey much; if you now show the space either side of them that there now is, it communicates that they are sitting closer together as a choice, implying an intimacy that was never there.
