Non-anamorphic R1 DVDs... (1 Viewer)

[Marc Colella]

Has Leolo been released in Region 1 Marc?

Not sure about the US, but it's released in Canada... unfortunately with a non-anamorphic transfer.

Here's a link to the DVD:

Hard Boiled

Actually, there's a Region 0 DVD of Hard Boiled that is anamorphic.

Which Godzilla are you referring to Dalton?

No unfortunatly the Region 1 Godzilla(1998) is not anamorphic. I believe Region 2 has a Superbit version. Makes me wonder why we don't have a SB version in Region 1 since Godzilla is a Sony film.

A few more for the list:

Pi
Piano Teacher
Show Me Love (F**cking Amal)
Taste of Cherry
Cleo From 5 to 7
Belle de Jour
Mona Lisa
The Long Good Friday
The Truman Show

"The Letterboxed presentation frames GODZILLA very close to its original 2.35:1 theatrical aspect ratio, plus the DVD includes the anamorphic enhancement for wide screen televisions."

That was taken from this site .

Also thedigitalbits put the "widescreen anamorphic" logo at the very top of the review.

Are these sites mistaken? I'm very curious now, since I don't own the dvd.

Thanks

Madonna's Evita
Meg Ryan's French Kiss

I do think Godzilla is widescreen anamorphic.

Nobody seems to have mentioned The Wild Bunch. TWB definitely needs to be released in an anamorphic edition. Two other movies I would like to see get proper anamorphic releases:

The Secret of NIMH
Night on The Galactic Railroad

 

[Jason Borchers]

I'm surprised no one has mentioned 'The Longest Day' yet.
