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.

Lake Placid
Gorgo
Nightmare Before Christmas
Flesh Gordon

These are the one's I still have:

12 Angry Men
American Dream
Birdman of Alcatraz
The Company of Wolves
Crime of Passion
The Defiant Ones
The Eiger Sanction
Giant
God's Little Acre
Henry & June
Judgment at Nuremburg
Kiss Me Deadly
Madigan
Miami Blues
The Piano (1993)
The Pit and the Pendulum
Shallow Grave
Sliding Doors
Smoke Signals
Sweet Smell of Success
Thief
The Train
Ulee's Gold
The Wings of the Dove
Witness for the Prosecution

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.

9 1/2 Weeks
The Abyss
Armageddon
Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker
Bound
Broken Arrow (1996)
An Extremely Goofy Movie
Good Will Hunting
The Killer (Fox Lorber Edition)
The Ref
Smoke Signals
Tremors
Volcano

and much to my dismay I have to P&S films: A Goofy Movie and Running on Empty.

Non-Anamorphic
48 Hrs.
Annie Hall
Clerks (single-disc...is signed by Kevin Smith, so I kept it with Clerks X)
Dragnet (1987)
Escape from L.A.
Freeway
From Dusk Till Dawn
Good Will Hunting
Grosse Pointe Blank
The Toxic Avenger
What About Bob?

4:3
Charley Varrick
Death Wish II
Death Wish 3

A Hole in One
Georgia
Miami Blues
Show Me Love (Fucking Åmål)

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

A few early Criterions
John Carpenter's The Thing
Master of the Flying Guillotine
Zombie (Anchor Bay)

Too lazy to look up more

Barry Lyndon
Shadowlands
12 Angry Men
Elmer Gantry
Nixon

Armageddon
Deep Rising
Dark Star
Escape from LA
Nightmare Before Xmas
Short Circuit

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).

Andre Rublev

This was re-released in anamorphic a few years ago.

Criterions

off the top of my head the criterion sid and nancy and outland

The Abyss
Armageddon
Freeway
Better Than Chocolate
Natural Born Killers: Directors Cut ( I also own R rated version which is 16.9)
Picnic At Hanging Rock
Lifeforce
Phantasm(I know a 16.9 version was released,but it lacks the original mono mix which the MGM dvd contains. So I have'nt upgraded yet,and am unsure when I will)

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

Beautiful Girls

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)

Only have 2:

Scream
&
The Best of Times

Hoping they get new anamorphic transfers someday, along with Raising Arizona & Gross Pointe Blanke

The Abyss
Encino Man
I'm gonna get you sucka!
Halloween 6: Producers Cut (Bootleg)

If I never found out what anamorphic meant a few years ago, I would have a lot more.

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.

The Thing
Star Wars trilogy
The Giant
The End of Evangelion

Hmm...I guess that's about it.

The Shining
