Oh yeah.

[DFA1979]

is it in 4:3 on Tubi? I found a dvd copy at my local shop today. Second time I came across a copy at a store in the last six months, so I bought it since I had regrets about not getting it the last time I saw it.

Hmm I donno. I often like to go with physical media if I love the flick or like it a lot since so much stuff gets pulled from streaming way too quickly.
