Wow. I had no clue Laser Discs had Extra Features, Commentary Tracks, or that Cirterion did those too...

Seems like an interesting thing to try and collect...

"Yellow Submarine" on LD (the first issue) is actually the domestic U.S. version without the "Hey, Bulldog!" sequence (from the European release), and with brief sequences of different animation. The restored version was later issued on LD. But the first issue remains a collectors item as it is the only LD release of the U.S. version.
That's what I said. There are small parts of the original version that are not in the restored DVD version. I guess I should have specified the 1987 laserdisc was the U.S. theatrical version.

Doesn't the E.T Doc on the DVD have the deleted scenes in it?
The Harrison Ford scene is included partially on the DVD documentary, but the laserdisc included some different sections of it. Neither doc has the full scene uncut. The LD also shows the original ending with the communicator on the roof and Melissa Matheson's cameo as a nurse.

Here's another addition of mine:

"The Prince Of Tides" (Criterion LD contains supplementary material not on DVD, including Streisand's commentary, outtakes, alternate end title sequence with Streisand's performance of "Places That Belong To You", and several making-of documentaries).

Jeff,

Tin Men has been on DVD for at least a year. It's a really good disc.

There are tons of movies that still haven't made it to DVD, too many to count, ranging from the obvious (Star Wars) to the very obscure (Peter Greenaway titles such as The Belly of an Architect and Drowning By Numbers).

Add another one...

"Star Trek: The Motion Picture"--two different LDs...one a pan-and-scan of the 143-minute television version, the other a widescreen of the original 132-minute theatrical version (trims from both versions appear as a separate supplement on the current "director's edition" DVD).

"Oklahoma!" The first letterboxed LD from Fox is the only widescreen release of the Cinemascope version, the 2nd LD release and and the DVD release are the Todd-AO version.

"War of the Worlds" The remastered LD offered a stereo surround re-mix, *and* the original mono track, *and* a music and effects track to boot. The DVD offers mono only.

"Ben Hur" on LD offers a Dolby Surround mixdown of the original Academy Award winning multi-channel mix. The DVD has a newly remixed 5.1 track with new effects and processing. The original mix on DVD is MIA.

One of these days the initiator of this thread is gonna have to help me conduct a web page on "Exclusive to LaserDisc". Anyway, here's another one...

"The Wizard Of Oz"--both deluxe editions (MGM's "Ultimate" and Criterion 50th Anniversary) each have different audio commentaries, both of which are not found on the current Warner DVD. I believe John Fricke did the MGM LD, while the late Ronald Haver (God rest his soul) did the Criterion. It has been said that Fricke's commentary is more credible than Haver's, I think Haver's has some unique facts and comments...he makes an interesting back-reference to the group America's "Tinman" which makes reference to "Oz". Also, the Criterion LD has a "wide-screen" trailer from the '50s that's not on the current Warner DVD, plus some additional supplements, audio interviews (including one with Jerry Maren), and publicity materials, although the so-called "Texas Promotional Trailer" is seen in its entirety on the current Warner DVD.

The Poltergeist CAV Box Set has a featurette (around 7/8 minutes)on the Making of the Movie. It shows all the time Steven Spielberg on the set and at one point, Tobe Hooper.

The featurette was directed by Frank Marshall

Thanks Mark about the Tin Men info. I didn't realize
that it is available on DVD.

I just thought of another LD exclusive- on the One Flew
Over The Cuckoo's Nest Pioneer special edition, the
documentary is longer than the Warner Brothers special
edition DVD.

Not sure if this would count, but the Pioneer LD of Platoon had the color correction that was supervised by Oliver Stone.It was on the OOP Image DVD but not on the newer MGM versions.

I believe the documentary on Jaws in cut in 1/2 on the DVD.

Again not sure about this one, but Ill mention it and let u decide......

The Apocalypse Now DVD OAR was framed at about 2.0:1


I got this from DVDfile:

"....However, labeled as being presented in the original 2.35:1 theatrical aspect ratio, I have to admit, checking it out, it looks to still be around 2.0:1. Seeing as that in our recent interview with American Zoetrope it was related to me that it would be in the "original theatrical aspect ratio," this brings up some questions. The film was shot in 35mm in the Technovision process, which has an aspect ratio of 2.35:1. It was shown this way theatrically, but was also blown up to 70mm for some prints, which has an aspect ratio of 2.0:1. So, the question becomes what the "original theatrical aspect ratio" was really intended to be. Previous video releases were 2.0:1, which was approved by Cinematographer Vittorio Storaro and Francis Ford Coppola."

Not on DVD:

I found this thread very useful for giving me info I can use to fill in my LD collection.

One little bit of info I can add to the original poster's listing, is that the Holmes documentary on the Criterion Boogie Nights LD is a condensed version of "Exhausted", which I believe is on DVD in its full form. What is exclusive to the LD however, is P.T. Anderson's commentary track on the documentary.

Also, I can add that the Criterion LD of Supercop has the original Cantonese soundtrack and the scenes that were snipped by Dimension, presented here as deleted scenes. None of this is on the Dimension R1 DVD.

Actually, the theatrical version of Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country has never been issued on laserdisc, just the slightly extended version with the three additional minutes of footage. This longer version has been on all video formats to date (VHS, LD, DVD). I had gotten both the pan-scan and widescreen versions of the LD, and both versions had the longer version. The only time the theatrical version has been shown has been on TV, on NBC and (I believe) the Sci-Fi Channel.

And the theatrical version of Star Trek II was released on DVD back in 2001 with just the theatrical trailer on it. This was prior to the start of the 2-disc SEs in late 2001 with Star Trek: TMP. So both versions of II have been released on DVD.
