What Non-Anamorphic Titles Do You Still Have in Your Collection?

With news of the release of an anamorphic 2 Days In The Valley, I was able to cross-off another title from my "non-anamorphic only" list. So, the remaining non-anamorphic titles in my collection are now:

1941 (Collector's Edition)
9 1/2 Weeks
Bound (Special Edition)
From Dusk Till Dawn (Special Edition)
Grosse Pointe Blank
Killer, The (Criterion Collection)
Memphis Belle
Nightmare Before Christmas (Special Edition)
Things To Do In Denver When You're Dead

I'm just curious what titles other collectors have, for which they still await an anamorphic widescreen release.

true lies (right off the top of my head as it screams for a special edition upgrade) i'm sure there are plenty more non ana and 4x3 only titles in my collection but this one bothers me most.

You can get the anamorphic version but it's double billed w/ the crappy sequel. I saw it at Walmart for $9.

Armageddon
Deep Rising

Escape from LA

There are a ton of other films that really need the upgrade especially from the Paramount group.

They did re-release the THING in 16x9 a year or so ago. It was worth the upgrade.

Most of these are recent Movie Gallery store closing buys.

2 Days (took a chance on this as DVDTalk stated anamorphic but it is MAR 4:3 instead)
Childstar (took a chance on this as DVD Verdict stated anamorphic but it isn't)
Clone
Four Weddings and a Funeral
The Game
King of the Corner
Last of the Dogmen
Leo (bought because DVD Verdict stated anamorphic, it isn't. Tried to get them to revise their review which took a year before they did and still now states non-anamorphic in one place and then anamorphic in the review)
My Date with Drew (bought because both The Digital Bits and DVD Verdict state anamorphic but it isn't)
Withnail and I

And then a couple of promo/special interest DVDs that aren't feature film related (free making of promos, HBO episodes, film festival magazine DVD).

Yeah, I was just listing my non-anamorphic titles rather than ones I'm awaiting a re-release on. But thanks.

Picnic at Hanging Rock
Ladyhawke
The first two Tenchi movies
Some of the Lupin movies
2010 (you'd think they'd try to piggyback on the new 2001 releases with an SE of the sequel, but I guess the three of us that would actually buy it just don't make it cost effective)

SOme of these I have sold in anticipation of an eventual anamorphic release, others I still have...

12 Angry Men
The Abyss
The Arrival
Barry Lyndon
Cutthroat Island
Deep Rising
Freeway
From Dusk Til Dawn
Funny Games
The Getaway Unrated
Ghost and the Darkness
High Plains Drifter
Judgment at Nuremberg
Lake Placid
Lolita
No Escape
Scream
Space Camp
Super Mario Brothers
Tango & Cash
Wings of the Dove

I'll eventually rebuy all these titles if they're ever released with anamorphic transfers. I realize some are available in other regions, but I prefer not to pay to have them imported since most of them are crappy movies that I just happen to enjoy. As much as I like Deep Rising, I'd never pay $30 for it.
