Topic: Anamorphic DVD Titles R3

[mrm]

hi, just wanted to know which films release on dvd's (region 3) have anamorphic widescreen on them.
Because I want to build a collection of anamorphic dvd's. Hope you can feed me info on this. thanks.

As a rough guide, if it was released as anamorphic widescreen in the States, then it's 99.9% sure to be the same on R3.

'Di ba?

Most DVD nowadays are anamorphic if it's in widescreen...  as long as it is released these past 2 years, and not in fullscreen, chances are it's anamorphic.

Sony/Paramount specifically use the word 'Anamorphic' in their product description.  Warner uses the term 'Enhanced for widescreen TVs'.

Stay away from C-interactive and Magna's budget releases though. Most of them are in full screen...

I'll agree with the C-Interactive part, but every single Magna budget release I've seen is widescreen anamorphic. Just at a low bit rate.
