The remastered anamorphic version is the one with the "wacky C" in the
upper left hand corner, and the pink box with text near the spine.
Here's the cheapest way to get it for the next few more days (thru the
26th):
www.dvdplanet.com
search for 'Brazil', currently it's the 2nd item, price is 19.47.
click it and (it's currently temp sold out, but...) order it (anyway).
Add something else to put your order over $25 and I think that's when
the free shipping kicks in.
When you're checking out, enter '20OFFSALE' and get an additional 20%
off your order. (So Brazil would be about $15.58...)
Or you can pay a whole bunch more somewhere else. Or wait til the 27th
and pay 19.47 again.
