Rubik,

As far as Natural Born Killers is concerned, there are two Region 1 editions.

The standard, which is non-anamorphic. Spine # VM 7292D, issued by Trimark.

Then the anamorphic version is spine # 18535, is labeled "Oliver Stone Collection" and is released by Warner.

Non-anamorphic DVD's on a 16:9 screen will normally crop the 16:9 screen down to 4:3 and THEN display the movie in a letterboxed format with-in the 4:3 reduced box. So you end up with black bars both on the top and sides.

Pretty strong argument for anamorphic enhancment if you ask me.
