Star Trek (Both Original And Next Generation)

Hey man, not to be rude, but HD Goofnut answered exactly the question you were asking.

The TOS DVDs were never "non-anamorphic" because they were not shot in a widescreen format. When you watched them and they had bars on the side it was because the discs were maintaining the original aspect ratio that they were shot and broadcast at. The blu rays of TOS will look the same because 4:3 was the original aspect ratio. They were shot on film, but framed for TV because TVs were 4:3 in the 60s. Having the bars on the side is exactly how they should look.

You're absolutely right that Home Alone and (unfortunately) the unaltered Star Wars flicks are non-anamorphic when they have the bars on the side, but that's because they were intended to be a widescreen aspected ratio and should fill out the screen.

Hope that helps.
