At first glance, it looks like the only movie on that list that I own in DVD format is Bull Durham, which you can DAMN betcha I want in the proper aspect ratio.
What'd you all order a dead guy for?

Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Lotta Buffista favorites on that list, like The Princess Bride, The Cutting Edge, and Bull Durham [ eta: xposty]. Of the movies I own, there are four on that list: TPB, Some Like It Hot, The Sum of Us, and Y Tu Mama Tambien. Will have to go home and watch them now to see if they look wrong.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
I've got Carrie off of that. Hmm.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I wonder if we'll be able to tell the new versions apart when they hit the shelves. Maybe they'll say on the case, "Widescreen Edition - no really, this time we mean it"?

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
24 Hour Party People
I've got this, among others, as well. I suspect because this one was shot on video that it may not be an issue.
Some of the items on the list I know have been reviewed in Video Watchdog, and they usually spot crop-boxing (as they call this manouver) a mile away. I wonder if they missed it, or if some of these aren't as bad as others.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Princess Bride, Dr No and Fish Called Wanda. Interesting.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I suspect because this one was shot on video that it may not be an issue.
But it was released theatrically in 35mm. I'd be very surprised if it wasn't shot in widescreen.

I have a couple, but as a Canadian, I don't think I'm eligible. Should I start my own class action lawsuit.

It looks like you have to have purchased the DVDv before Sept. 8, 2003, to participate. I have no idea when I bought any of the three I own -- I wonder how they'll know?
