Well, it's FS, but it's a great movie and it has a GREAT John Waters commentary. Get it while you can. If HBO didn't license it to New Line as part of their John Waters' collection, It doubt it will ever get a re-release.

Yeah, too bad it's not anamorphic, but I picked it up at Walmart for less than 5 bucks. Worth the price (and then some) just for Waters' commentary (he does a great job as usual).

I bought this at best buy several years ago for about $5 and was lucky enough to meet john waters a few months back and had him autograph it as well as cry baby, hairspray, pecker, and pink flamingos

While the transfer is non-anamorphic, it's also 1.66:1, and its fairly common practice to not encode them in anamorphic. Some companies do, I have at least 3 DVDs that do, but I have more that don't.
It's still a good release, snapper and all...

Serial Mom has always been one of my favorite black comedies of all time. I just recently rewatched it and was upset that it's not 16x9. The most promising aspect of it being OOP is that a new SE should be around the corner at some point.
