Gremlins 2 wasn't widescreen. I know, I had it(and watched it almost every day for like a year)

I don't know, but every VHS copy I have seen of Gremlins 2 was in widescreen. Same goes for the movie Innerspace.
The Color Purple and Gremlins 2 were widescreen only on VHS also. Last Of The Mohicans was pan and scanned to around a 2:1 ratio for it's original vhs release also.
I stand corrected. I knew about The Color Purple but don't really consider that an event movie. Gremlins 2 really surprises me. I don't remember it being in widescreen but I haven't seen it 12 years so my memory is sketchy and could be wrong. The same goes for the Last of the Mohicans.
Romancing the Stone - during it's credits, if I recall, it didn't got to OAR (no black bars), but it "squeezed" the widescreen shot into the 4x3 frame.
I remember older versions of Die Hard on video and tv were presented similar to this. The image was like a 1.85 anamorphic dvd being played back in anamorphic on a 4x3 tv. The newer versions are pan and scanned the modern way though.
