Overboard= 16x9??
Easy question: is this 16x9? It doesn't say on the outside if it is but several websites list it as being 16x9.
Yes, this is the Goldie Hawn/Kurt Russell movie. No threadcraps please.
It's $6 at Best Buy this week.

"Enhanced for 16x9 TVs" is the same as anamorphic, just different wording.

Funny, a few scenes later, inside her cabin with Russell, she has a second "thong-prominent" shot that's as "cheeky" (if not more) than the outdoor scene.
As to the original topic of the thread, I checked my copy (MGM 0 27616-6566-2 9) and it is definitely not anamorphic.
