I'm pretty sure it hasn't been on C4 before, although I wouldn't be surprised if some clever-clogs came along and refuted my assertions (ooer, missus).
But I'm still pretty sure. |

I know it has been on ITV previously, but as Channel 4 have the deal with Fox, I'd be surprised if it hasn't been on Channel 4 before.

TCM have shown True Lies in the past and even they've not shown it in its OAR. So well done C4 for doing so.

Just flicked past Film 4 and saw that America's Sweethearts is cropped to 16:9. I'm sure C4 have shown this OAR before?

And I think I'm right in saying Black Shield was an OAR premiere (59 years after it first played in cinemas!!!). And I think you're right in saying this wasn't the full 2.55:1 enchilada. |

It's pot luck which version of AS is shown on the C4 platform at any given time. It's one of the great mysteries of the universe.

As for Black Shield, if that was 2.35:1, then Speed 2 was about 2.30:1 as it was only a slight difference but I was really expecting to look for a difference between 2.35:1 and 2.55:1 originally. |

The Gauntlet is currently OAR on ITV. This is surely an OAR premiere? They can never be arsed to get old Clint Eastwood films in the correct ratio, usually.

I know it's been mentioned before (as that caused me to set the Digiguide reminder) but The Violent Men is on Film4 at the moment in the OAR of 2.55:1.

I may be wrong ("What, again?!", I hear you all cry), but I think that was the OAR premiere of THEY SHOOT HORSES, DON'T THEY? last night.
Oh, and the BBC screened THE SHAGGY DOG at something like the full 2.39:1 ratio today. It wasn't on the list this week (no excuses - I just forgot), so I thought I'd mention it for the record. |

All the previews were configured that way, so it didn't come as too much of a surprise to me. A disappointment, to be sure, but not a surprise.
Normally, C4 would show such films correctly in their trailers, but their trailers for Skyline and Limitless were both around 1.9:1. Also, I've just complained to the BBC (for all the good it'll do) because BBC3's print of Lara Croft Tomb Raider is cropped to 16:9 when it's been shown on BBC1 before in 2.35:1, which I remember seeing just before New Year in 2010. The following night, they showed the sequel, but it was in 16:9. I hadn't seen them before that, so I sourced an alternate version for the sequel. |

But I'm still pretty sure.
