One of Network's film titles I've been considering getting for a long time is the first Prom Night (1980), but I read on or off the web that the image is zoomed in (Network DVD's listing page says it's been digitally remastered). Has anyone here got this title? There's a boxset with all four original Prom Night movies, but looking at DVD Compare's pages for the three sequels the best versions to get aren't all in the same region.

Had wanted to get the Charles Bronson film The Evil That Men Do (1984) as well, but the UK DVD version is cut.

One of Network's other film titles is Who Killed Teddy Bear? (1965), starring Sal Mineo. Below is the Review review (via DVD Compare) of the film:

It isn't that it is zoomed in - but it is distorted. It doesn't play properly in 43 or 16x9 mode - one way it is too stretched and the other it is too squished. The widescreen US release (the remastered 16x9 one) has the exact same problem.

Impressive and surprising. Many of those films I had simply forgotten or assumed would never appear on disc.
