Thanks

Excellent however.......I sold my collector's edition and purchased the Canadian Edition which has everything including one more deleted scene and most importantly.....an anamorphic transfer!!!!


Check out http://www.totalactionuniverse.com

Believe I paid about $22 shipped for the Canadian version which was released by Alliance!!!!

I recommend getting the Canadian version as well. There will never be a need to replace that one.
My favorite Canadian dvd etailer is http://www.dvdboxoffice.com
relaible service, free shipping
I just checked their price for Good Will Hunting and it is 32.95 Canadian or 22.72 American. If I remember correctly they can only charge you the American price if you use a Visa, otherwise the Canadian price will be converted to U.S. dollars by whatever rate your credit card company is using

Between the Miramax Collector's and the Alliance Edition:

Is it the same transfer (except for Alliance being anamorphic)? And are the commentary tracks the same?

Just curious, especially about the transfer, as I don't have a widescreen tv at the moment.

The Canadian version has one more deleted scene(12) compared to the American version(11).......

As far as the transfer goes.....both transfers are very nice...if you do not care about the anamorphic transfer and are not planning on ever buying a widescreen set then I would stick with the American version which I did possess at one time until I purchased the Canadian edition!!!

Has anyone had any problems with the extra features menu of the Alliance edition of Good Will Hunting? When I select the TV spots, the screen freezes and goes all hinky -- I can press MENU and get out no problem, but is this a problem with all the discs?

haven't had a problem with my disc in my player. maybe that disc and your player are not very compatible. try it in a few other players (if you know people with other players and you can) to see if that is the case. i never had any disc problems until i got into pretty high #'s of dvds, but now I have about 4 or 5 discs I could not play in my player (and had to watch on my computer's dvd-rom)...this may be especially more true with older players.
