Also, why are films like man with two brains and Dead men dont wear plaid not available ?

And a good version of Planes trains and automobiles.

Didn't someone post recently that Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid is out in R2 soon (and R4 early next year for half the price :rolleyes: )?

Unfortunately, just found out - 'The Man With Two Brains' is 4:3 Fullscreen.

R2 Death Becomes Her is at least in widescreen (1.85:1) unlike the 4:3 R1 BUT it is non-anamorphic and the print used is pretty grainy and all in all it's a very sub-standard disc.

I heard rumblings months ago about a R1 SE sometime in the future - I'd wait for that if I were you!

Thanks for the reply. I did not know they were available at all.

I think the Steve Martin films in general are treated poorly on dvd (except Bowfinger) , and I will not buy a film if its a shoddy 4:3 disc.

Early martin / Reiner films are some of the best comedy films ever made so I think they should have better versions available.

Roxanne - anamorphic and a pretty good picture. If you like the film buy it and Death Becomes Her, I'd agree with the previous post - pretty poor really
