bully (larry clark), is it anamorphic?
no site that i can find can confirm nor deny if this title is anamorphic or not. since it came out in 2001, i would think lions gate would make it anamorphic, but it doesn't say so on the dvd box?

according to imdb it says it is... the backcover of the box just says widescreen and doesn't mention anamorphic.. if you trust imdb i guess it is.

How can some movies be 1.85:1 and be non-anamorphic and others be 1.85:1 and be anamporphic? If they both have the same dimensions as far as picture framing goes then whats the difference? I always thought that anamorphic is when something is filmed gain a bigger scope in the same constraints of the frame a la Braveheart or Star Wars.

Here's my understanding, and I'm probably speaking out my ass, but that's not going to stop me.
I think that what you're talking about is correct, in the context of filmmaking: Using an anamorphic lens to horizontally squeeze a wider image into the frame.
An anamorphic DVD has 16:9 output. It's called anamorphic because DVD video is stored as a 4:3 frame. To store a 16:9 frame on DVD, the frame has to be horizontally squeezed. Upon playback, the player unsqueezes it to it's original 16:9 size.
