I have a question I hope someone can answer, or at least attempt to. I saw that "The Moon-Spinners" is out on DVD, but that it's not widescreen and has no special features. This movie being a big favorite of mine, I was very disappointed. Should I hold out for the possiblity of a better version being released with at a least a couple special features(I know they could find at least a trailer), or just go ahead and get this one. I have the tape, but I really want to start buliding up a DVD collection of my top favorite movies. Ok I'll stop my ramblings now, but any thoughts would be appreciated.

Welcome to the site, Marianne!
Hopefully, you'll stick around.
indianajp is pretty much right on the money. If you can find it cheap, it's probably worth upgrading from a VHS. If not, wait for a price drop (which is sure to come in time) and then get it even cheaper.
It's a shame that they treat so many of their live action films like that. One of my favorites is "Cheetah" which is also featureless and a port of the pan & scan laserdisc.
I *hate* rewarding the studio by giving them money for screwing up one of my favorite movies...but if it's to be had for super-cheap, and the alternative is not getting to see or enjoy the movie again until the next format, it's a decision to make.
I'm sure the Moon Spinners DVD offers little over the VHS - chapter stops and the fact that it's a non-degrading format, primarily. So, if it's something you watch a lot, I'd think buying the crappy DVD is better than relying on a worn-out videocassette.
