Well done!

Thanks!

If you have That 70's Show Season 1, you should include the Blu-rays of Friends and Cheers which do the same.

Please be more specific...

Enchanted has a variable AR? I never noticed...

 Dunno, entries are taken mainly from other lists...

You can include just about every '50s Academy picture (at least U.S. releases), cause they were all matted to 1.85:1 in theaters.

About these releases: as the 1.37:1 was the OAR (original A/R), but the 1.85:1 was the IAR (intended A/R), unless the BD has the OAR they will be not listed here; you are welcome to add the latter titles!

The recruit on DVD was 1.85:1 the BD and Cinema release were 2.35:1

Thanks, I will add this, but... is it cropped or open matte?

Including all movies that have been shown open matte is basically the HD equivalent of including movies that have been panned and scanned. It's standard operating procedure to make a 1.78 master of 2.39 movies that were shot in Super 35 or HD. It would be a really long and kind of pointless list, because most times, they're only shown on TV, and not even the filmmakers themselves have watched them.

I don't think so...we are in a preservation forum, and it will be interesting for us to know if there are open matte version of our preferred movie; even if 1.78:1 open matte is not the intended aspect ratio, sometimes "more is more"... (^^,)

Also, if there are some P&S BD versions they MUST be listed here!

Plus, it could be useful if someone wants to make a project using the open matte "as is", or a variable aspect ratio a la Dark Knight...
