The following Columbia/TriStar titles are all abominable and in desperate need of proper remastering. In fact, they look much, much worse than a lot of non-anamorphic transfers I've seen:
Fearless Hyena
and the uncut, widescreen, original language editions of
Once Upon a Time in China Once Upon a Time in China 2 Once Upon a Time in China 3
Miracles (the same crappy transfer just re-released under the title Black Dragon)
(The Once Upon a Time in China trilogy and Miracles/Black Dragon DVDs also all have the English language dubbed versions, some of which are cut and pan and scan... and invariably, the English language versions are the ones that look fairly decent (apart from being P&S)! But the original versions are close to unwatchable.
Plus two Jim Carrey titles:
Ace Ventura, Pet Detective (in OAR please!) The Mask (whatever happened to that SE?)
SEVEN BRIDES FOR SEVEN BROTHERS BRIGADOON SCREAM ARMAGEDDON HALLOWEEN: H20 FROM DUSK TILL DAWN MIMIC TIM BURTON'S THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS MOONSTRUCK LIFEFORCE THE THING PSYCHO VERTIGO THIS ISLAND EARTH TREMORS TOWERING INFERNO THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE BROKEN ARROW TITANIC EVENT HORIZON ESCAPE FROM L.A. GRUMPY OLD MEN GRUMPIER OLD MEN
I believe I read that this title is actually "open matte", so nothing is missing from the sides, there is just extra material on the top and bottom. Can anyone confirm this?
When I started this thread I wasn't really thinking of movies that weren't released in OAR, but since other's have mentioned it, here's another to add to the list;
Believe it or not, I am adding High Society to this list. Good transfer, but the shimmering found on Frank Sinatra's suit during the earlier scenes is excessive, like during the Who Want's To Be A Millionaire number with Celeste Holmes. A big surpise as this is very much not typical with Warner's releases. These scenes are almost unwatchable.
I also vote that The Apartment is about the worst "anamorphic" transfer I have seen..
Others on my list: Vertigo (anamorphic upgrade) Psycho (anamorphic upgrade) Summertime Midnight Cowboy Graduate Oklahoma King and I South Pacific Sound of Music Cabaret Pillow Talk
