I am goin gback for some of them, but I picked up, The Deep with Jacqueline Bisset and The Juror with Demi Moore.

After much digging and waiting I finally picked up a copy of "Every Which Way But Loose" in that bin. Now I wait for the sequel.

A sequel to "Every Which Way But Loose" was produced called "Any Which Way You Can". The sequel is also, a Clint Eastwood Collection title.

Be careful of any Sony/Columbia titles in the bin. I bought The Deep a couple of months ago and it turned out to be one of Sony's new, dumbed down for Wal-mart, P&S-only editions.

I almost bought The Deep at Wal-mart. When I checked the aspect ratio on the back of the DVD keep case and noticed it was P&S I placed it back into the bin.

I checked the back and side a is 2.35 to 1 widescreen and side b is 4x6 formatted to fit screen. I have not opened it yet but that is what the jacket states.

What do you mean by P&S, pan and scan?

P&S-only edition:
http://www.dvdsoon.ca/show-title-details.xml?uid=6139

P&S/Widescreen edition: http://www.amazon.ca/exec/obidos/ASI...569306/sr=1-9/

It didn't occur to me to check the specs when I bought the P&S version... my mind was otherwise occupied picturing Jacqui Bisset in a white bikini.

lol Being 15 years young in 1977 at the time of release that image has stuck with me as much as Farrah Fawcetts red swim suit poster. Thanks for the heads up, I seemd to have picked the correct one.

Maybe we should start a thread on women in film that left an impression on you through life. lol

Ursula Andress would qualify...

The Deep, with it's Bermuda backdrop and underwater photography, makes for great eye candy, particularly on a big screen. I thought the ending was a little abrupt though. Like maybe they shot a closing scene that didn't survive the editing room. Don't know how the book ends.

All bets are off. There are apparently 3 different DVD editions of The Deep in circulation...

I went into my local Wal-mart today and all I could find were copies looking identical in appearance to the widescreen edition (as shown at Amazon), but they were spec'ed on the back as "Fullscreen" only, widescreen not indicated. *ugh!*

After reading what some wrote I went and looked also in the bin as the first copy I purchased was widescreen. You are correct there is the on I have widescreen/ps full screen and ps and guess what they were all in the bin. lol.
