Thanks Brandon!
What about The Shining and Eyes Wide Shut? Was everyone happy with them? I debuted them, as I mentioned on my previous 50Hz LCD and they looked strange, but now I have a full 100Hz Plasma, I should try them again...
P.S Tarantino has finally bested Pulp Fiction.

The biggest complaints about those releases were the fact that they showed the theatrical aspect ratio instead of the open matted version of the earlier dvds. And perhaps the altering of the 'Warner Communications' logo of The Shining, or the fact that Warner didn't include the audio commentary by Sydney Pollack that was listed on press releases.
But the releases themselves were quite good. I thought they looked amazing, especially Eyes Wide Shut (amazing cinematography).
