There are a few; the most notorious examples are Highlander and Halloween, which are littered with artifacts (digital visual flaws) and inferior to their laserdisc counterparts. Some others are tough calls, such as Evil Dead 2 (the laser sounds better and has more extras, while the DVD looks better), Lord of Illusions (different extra features on both), and Boogie Nights (again, different extra features for different formats).
