Well, there's my non-anamorphic dvd of Oklahoma! mastered by THX from the 30 frame-per-second Todd-AO version. That looks pretty bad.

As an aside, I spotted Fox's latest reissue of The Abyss dvd in the store the other day. They spruced it up with a lenticular cover, but did they remaster it this time? On the back cover it says widescreen and in that same box but with smaller lettering "anamorphic 2.35:1." According to reports it's still the same old 4:3 letterbox transfer for the umpteenth time. The rumor is that they're not bothering to remaster it for dvd because they're waiting to put it out on blu-ray.
