This begs a question of mine re my viewing at home. Is it my infernal ignorance? Or do directors routinely cut the tops of heads off to fit a shot? Because I keep thinking I have the wrong aspect ration, but in every single one the head is slightly topped off. Not all of them. Just some close ups.

Are you watching a widescreen tilt-and-scan edit of something made for old TV aspect ratio?

No, directors do not routinely chop heads.
