I didn't know there were two of them.
I'm referring to the DVD I bought at a yard sale today:
Gone in 60 Seconds (1974 film) is a 1974 American action film written, directed, produced by, and starring H.B. "Toby" Halicki. It centers on a group of car thieves and the 48 cars they must steal in a matter of days. The film is known for having wrecked and destroyed 93 cars in a 40-minute car chase scene. This film is the basis for the 2000 remake starring Nicolas Cage and Angelina Jolie.
I didn't know there were two of them. I thought there was a movie from a few years back, and that was it.
I don't get out of the house much. Oh, you had that figured out.
FWIW, the DVD is said to have been remastered so that's in a 1.85:1 format. The same yard sale had a DVD of "Ocean's Eleven," but I put it back when I saw that it had been "formatted to fit your screen," which means that it's an old conversion to DVD that works on CRT TVs.
A local channel ran "The Magnificent Seven" and "The Return of the Seven" the other night. When I saw that TROTS had been cut down to the CRT 4:3 format, I gave up watching.

Did a (very) little research, and figured out I had, over the years, confused that movie with this one:
They're different.
