I’m currently watching A Bucket of Blood in 1.37:1 on my PBS station. Soon as I get materials for capturing in higher quality direct from my DVR (my TV tuner is currently out of commission due to circumstances beyond my control), I’ll post screencaps here, complete with station bug in the lower-right-hand corner of the screen.
I think The Incredible Hulk has a chance to be open matte according to this international commercial.

The thing is when I go there I do not see the actual list anywhere
My mistake. Here it is:https://web.archive.org/web/20180826170527/http://blog.sporv.com/open-matte-master-list/https://web.archive.org/web/20180826170527/http://blog.sporv.com/open-matte-master-list/.

Titanic also has an OM HDTV version that has the full width of the VFX plates, unlike the 3D version, where they were cropped and zoomed into.
Plus, there is Jurassic Park 2 and 3 - OM 4:3 DVDs, OM 1.78:1 HDTV version. Mostly OM, the VFX shots are pan & scan or a mixture of both.
BTW, Andrea, are the Harry Potter longer broadcasts available, as you mentioned on your workprint list?
When we can get the JP2 and 3?

Hey, I’ve PM’d you a link to an open matte version of Disney’s live-action remake of “Beauty and the Beast”. If anybody else is interested, PM me.
Hey, I was wondering if you still had that link. I’ve been looking for the imax version for awhile so please 🙏
Whole open Matte movies are quite new experiences for me. My comparison list (regular vs open matte versions) is actually limited to Blade Runner 2049 and the whole Harry Potter Series. The feeling is quite different: you feel much more immersed in the movie.
It’s intentionally used by some directors in certain parts only for a few movies. The examples I have in mind are TRON: Legacy, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire and Top Gun: Maverick. It’s a mean to trigger a substantial ‘wake-up’ for the spectator during specific depicted events.
Concerning whole open matte movies I have a different feeling: I love both versions, but the ‘regular’ pan/scan ratio makes it much more ‘cinematographic’ and enjoyable in my opinion.
I’d be curious to hear about various debates on this topic, both technical and emotional.
