While this is true, I have been noticing more and more DVDs with low APL (average picture levels).

Intolerable Cruelty, Lost in Translation to name just two.

OTOH, DVDs like Nemo, Shrek, Summer in Umbria, Chicago, look great.
Maybe it's my player, or perhaps more and more directors want any film that's not "happy" to have a film noir look to it.
