Too bad Europa Europa is non-anamorphic.

It is standard MGM policy that no film with an aspect ratio of less than 1.78:1 gets anamorphic treatment.

Two days after I picked up the R0 copy on impulse (because I never thought it would released, let alone in WS), they announce it for March.
That'll teach me!

Although i love the Eurythmics' music in the film, I wonder if 1984 will have an alternate soundtrack with Dominic Muldowney's complete original score. I highly doubt it, but i can dream, can't i?
From http://www.filmtracks.com/titles/1984.html :
"The score, which had promised to greatly enhance the film after its use in the theatrical trailers, ultimately became the largest controversy surrounding the film. The producers, against the wishes of the director, decided to scrap most of Muldowney's score in the film and replace it with pop songs by the popular 80s synth group Eurythmics. Needless to say, the inconsistency this caused in the music for the film was a substantial reason for the audiences' cold response to the film."

Definitely some interesting titles on this list, but considering MGM's hit-and-miss track record, I'll eagerly await some reviews before shelling out any dough.
