O Canada -- DVDs to buy? (1 Viewer)

[James David Walley]

Well, I'm set to make an overnight trip to Vancouver in the next few days. I seem to recall, some time ago, discussion about how there were certain titles for which the DVD available in Canada was better than the one sold in the U.S. -- things like more special features, anamorphic versus non-anamorphic transfers, etc.
Since I should have the opportunity to drop by a DVD store or two while I'm there, can anyone remind me which films have superior Canadian DVDs? Thanks in advance.

I have heard that the canadian version of Pulp Fiction is better that it's american counterpart.

From what I remember, people mentioned Pulp Fiction, Good Will Hunting and Trainspotting.

The Good Will Hunting DVD is a decent DVD with an anamorphic transfer, but I would definetely pass on the Pulp Fiction DVD. You get a few more extras, but the picture quality is really lacking (same as the U.S.) and is not anamorphic.
Trainspotting's transfer isn't half bad, but it's also not anamorphic.

If you're a fan of the LEXX TV show, you should buy season 1 on DVD (since it is a Canadian show after all). They do not have distribution rights in the US, so the only other way to get it is mail order from a Canadian DVD e-tailer.
Once you've seen season 1, the rest of the show actually starts to make sense.
May his merciful shadow fall upon you.
