Problem with Crop is that it doesn't allow the area around what's left of the video to be transparent: instead, it fills it with a color you specify. At least, in Premiere 5.1 and Premiere Pro.
I have no idea what version of Premiere Pro you're using, but the AMVs in my signature are done with Pro 1.5 and Pro 2.0 and as you can see, the crop really "cuts off" the sides and doesn't "fills it up" with a color.

@Epical Zamora, you also might look into turning the track with the greyscale matte off AKA making it not visible by clicking on the "eye"-icon or else you will see the matte.

The only one there was in 2003, that's what version. :P Yeah, that's probably why. I never understood why they wouldn't give us the option to skip the fill on earlier versions. Okay, objection withdrawn.
