Does anybody have a list of the anamorphic widescreen Criterion discs? Also, when did they start using anamorphic. I wanted to buy "How to Get Ahead in Advertising" but its letterboxed and I have to zoom in on it and the picture is terrible, so is a new version coming out now? Thanks.

Just go down the list and click on each one to see. For example, "How To Get Ahead..." says:

Quote from: Duck SauceAlso, when did they start using anamorphic.
Why aren't certain early Criterion DVDs anamorphically enhanced?Criterion began releasing 16x9 enhanced DVDs with Insomnia (spine #47). Ever since, we have released anamorphic DVDs whenever possible. A large percentage of Criterion DVD releases are indeed enhanced for 16x9 televisions.
Criterion is considering the possibility of re-releasing some of our early DVDs in 16x9 enhanced editions. Please keep an eye on our website for any future news and updates regarding this project.

Criterion lost the rights to this disc and MGM will now release their own edition:
