In the Bluray era I've not seen any 2.35:1 movies chopped in half , not usually even on dvd I don't think apart from one of those Mill Creek compilations and the chopped up travesties seemed to be of movies that are available properly on other releases. Their Space set included the Italian...

So you refused to buy a movie you love because the studio decided to offer an alternative to viewers who may not have had widescreen tv's at the time. That showed them then. All that achieved was you missing out on a movie you love for several years. Warner released lots of films including some...

Network release the majority of their 50's and 60's British films in 1.66 or 4x3. The Edgar Wallace Mysteries , all 47 of them are 1.66 and very good they look too , much better than previous 4x3 tv broadcasts. Perfect Friday with Stanley Baker also 1.66 . But they are now starting to list...

I got this disc quite a long time ago and it was good enough to replace the excellent Midnite Movies dvd . I was really hoping we'd see a good Blu of the follow up Vault of Horror uncut but the time that has passed suggests not. The current version airing on British tv , apparently restored by...

It's 3 years later so I would say probably no . Maybe A and E want to have their next Avengers release as Bluray like it should have been in the UK for the Emma Peel and Tara King episodes. Why not get a multi region player and buy the R2 edition?

I have the disc - I think the original source of the bonus films was not 720 - it was standard def . The existing dvd's of both look better as if they are from superior sources

Give them a break - they have to put up with being French too

They were also 1.66 on dvd from Anchor Bay . I'm sure someone somewhere may email them about this unacceptable presentation giving viewers several millimeters of image they shouldn't be able to see. Of course , switching overscan on would eliminate the issue for most . =====================...

I'm only 51 but sometimes I've forgotten what I was doing 24 hours ago. Yet some people , like Tim Lucas for example , can tell whether a current product looks the same as it did when they visited the cinema 45 years ago - amazing .

My Amazon Canada orders for The Time Machine and The Nutty Professor all still show original release dates

No disrespect intended Bob. I just gave it as an example of what could possibly happen in such a scenario. We have to wonder what happened when the Hammer bods were in discussion with SC for them to end up with so many errors

Yes but not buying them is basically cutting off your own nose to spite your face. Not buying the QX or The Brides of Dracula because the ratio is slightly wrong seems rather stupid. It may be years before these movies get a reissue and in the meantime I watch the films in HD. Who loses out ...

I definitely agree they are the exception and I even ordered COF when people were complaining about it . Same as the dvd - rubbish how can that be - I thought. After I'd looked at it I actually played the Warner dvd on one player and the Blu on the other player and switched between them. Even...

Because its likely the forums would then be filled with whingers complaining the film is in the wrong widescreen ratio. Practically every Hammer Bluray has someone complaining that the ratio is incorrect - I can see why studios perhaps can't be bothered , knowing they'll get complaints whatever...

Ludicrously priced at over £25 on Amazon - I've pre-ordered it now its dropped to around £16 (its dropped even further to £13.96 now)
