MGM DVD Hits Visual Controversy (January 27th, 2005)

MGM DVD Hits Visual Controversy (January 27th, 2005): "A major legal controversy is swirling around MGM DVD copies with over 300 titles being affected by an aspect ratio problem. According to CHUD, claims have gone up that state MGM Home Video has been misleading about the films they're marketing as widescreen, rather cutting the top and bottom off of pan and scan transfers and billing it as widescreen, as the aspect ratio is still correct. Amongst the titles that may have been affected are '1984', '24 Hour Party People', 'The Amityville Horror', 'Annie Hall', 'Barbershop', 'The Birdcage', 'City Slickers', 'The Dark Half', 'Dead Man Walking', 'Desperately Seeking Susan', 'Dirty Rotten Scoundrels', 'Dr. No', 'Four Weddings & A Funeral', 'From Russia With Love', 'Goldfinger', 'Gorky Park', 'Hannibal', 'The Hound of the Baskervilles', 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers', 'The Island of Dr. Moreau', 'Jeepers Creepers', 'Mannequin', 'Man in the Moon', 'The Man with the Golden Gun', 'Midnight Cowboy', 'Mississippi Burning', 'Mystic Pizza', 'Phantasm', 'Platoon', 'Raging Bull', 'Rain Man', 'Scanners', 'Shallow Grave', 'Some Like it Hot', 'Spaceballs', 'The Terminator', 'Wargames' and 'Y Tu Mama Tambien'."
