Both discs are DVD-14, meaning one side is dual layered.
For Valley Girl, There are far more features on the Widescreen side than on the Full Screen side. The FS side only has the audio commentary, triva track, and trailers.
My guess is that they couldn't fit the Widescreen, FS, and video commentary onto one side, so the FS got bumped over to the FS side.
For The Sure Thing, they don't have a video commentary sucking up space, so they can fit both versions of the film on one side, with the extras on the other side.
Valley Girl's video commentary is more than likely the reason for the difference.

I picked these up along with The Last American Virgin the other day. A quick check proved that LAV is open matte, and I've seen mention that The Sure Thing is as well. Haven't checked VG...does anyone know if it is open matte or P&S?

I bought all 3 of these discs, and I had actually never seen the films.
Valley Girl was excellent and the disc has some great bonus feautres, very satisfied.
Last American Virgin was hilarious and had one of the most honest endings I've ever seen, I really liked this movie.
The Sure Thing... I don't know why I haven't heard more about this film. I love "It happened One Night" so this movie's plot was right up my alley. It was brilliant. I've watched it three times since I got it yesterday (once with commentary)...I LOVE this movie... man oh man, so damn good.

After checking for myself, Valley Girl is indeed open matte as well. Now I'm torn as to which way to watch...hmmm...maybe both!
