I'm there for the Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie.

Nice cover art too.

Wow! I haven't seen Street Smart in ages...what a great movie!

 

[Jeff Kleist]

well, if it's P&S, there's your answer as to why

Thanks MGM *snort*

Actually, I think the single disc West Side Story is full frame. I want the movie, but not the extras, so I hope DVDfile was wrong.

Seeing as how the previous Anchor Bay editions of SILKWOOD and IMPULSE were, respectively, non-anamorphic letterbox and pan-scan, it would appear that MGM is merely recylcing the same source materials.

Wasn't Disney's sale of the ABC titles to MGM based on "creating new, exciting content" for them?
