I can see that the "E.T." movie is sold in 1.85 and 2.35 format :

• http://www.amazon.fr/E-T-lExtra-Terrestre-Peluche-Dee-Wallace/dp/B008JELMU6/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
• http://www.amazon.fr/E-T-lExtra-Terrestre-Combo-Blu-ray-DVD/dp/B0087OYKM0/ref=cm_cr_pr_orig_subj

I also know that on DVD boxes, there is a mention that tells, near the used ratio on the back of the box, if it respects the original movie format. On one of the box I have (DVD), it's writen  : "1,85:1 Anamorphic Widescreen". So I suppose that 1,85 is not the native format but a cropped one.

Could you tell me what is the cinema displayed ratio in France at the time it was projected  ?
Could you tell me what is the original movie ratio this movie was recorded  ?

• And best of all, if you could show a little scan of the mention on a DVD or BR box that confirms it.

Thank you for your help.
