Your a star, Stamper, can't thank you enough, look forward to seeing it.

I have one possible candidate, Ridley Scott's Tristan + Isolde.

I discovered there's a fullscreen DVD out there, probably opened up from it's rather cramped 1.85 ratio going by BD screengrabs.

I think it wasn't posted. Scary Movie (2000) OM . There's low quality rip from TVP1 HD ->

It's not fully open in every scene:

Hey spoRv, will you put your list online again at some point? Currently using wayback machine to read it.

Anyway, I found a nice Open Matte DVD of Big Lebowski. Hoping I can find something in HD or higher resolution from the same master to make a good looking hybrid. The fullscreen has kind of a "feel" to it that in my opinion fits the movie very well.



Edit: This master is probably from before the 1999 PolyGram-Universal merger, because it still has the old Polygram logo, which is the reason I was searching for it in the first place. This DVD in particular is PAL, however I see there's an anamorphic NTSC DVD released in 1998 that I think still may reasonably have the Polygram logo and thus the old master. Combining the two, if indeed the same master, might give a good enough image I think. Just have to find it now. It has the UPC 044005653922 / EAN 0044005653922 apparently, does anyone here happen to own it?

Bottom = Amazon Prime  (1.77:1)

Seems as if the List is down, I just get a "Forbidden" note.

Was "The Running Man" mentioned? I stumbled upon a 1.33:1 open matte DVD from Finland. quite early DVD master. I think the US Full Screen DVD in the DVD Set and the UK DVDs were 1.33:1 Pan&Scan ffrom the Widescreen Version, IIRC. (If I am wrong, please tell me. )

BluRay and TV release (90's) comparison

Anyone know if there are 4:3 versions of the Gundam movies Char's Counterattack and F91?

All copies the theatrical stuff are in widescreen OARs, sans the compilation films which are reedited TV episodes in 1.37. OTOH, some of the later compilation films (the 0083 film made from TV episodes) have credits and texts being in the center of the screen which means they were likely exhibited (cropped) in widescreen. I also heard at least Char's Counterattack and the SD Gundam movies were animated at 1.37 but protected for widescreen, while Gundam F91 and most of Sunrise's other theatrical outings were hard matted.

THIS might be the 720p upscale from that OM DVD. It looks very good in motion. If no better source is found, I guess overlaying BD over an upscaled DVD would give pretty good results.
