Who now owns the rights to this movie? I'm asking because I'm hoping one day this film will get the special edition treatment it deserves (let's not talk about the AWFUL Live DVD release a few years ago!).
Is it because it's a non-anamorphic transfer?
Yes. The Crying Game is a recycled laserdisc transfer. And the laserdisc looked better.

I've had this disk on order for more than a year
Wow, you don't say. It only took me a week to get mine at http://www.deepdiscountdvd.com
I'm starting to wonder about these guys though. I've ordered over 40 DVD's from them without any problems except on my last order they sent me a full screen movie instead of widescreen. I've emailed them a few days ago about it and have yet to hear back from them.
Mine doesn't do that, but it does have a naked dude in it!
LOL...that reminds me of the song that Billy Crystal sang at the opening of the Academy Awards during the year that The Crying Game was nominated for Best Pictures: "Those legs...those thighs...SURPRISE! It's the Crying Game!"
