Which Blu-ray movies are in 1.85:1?
With the whole black bar subject i started in the Dark Knight thread it got me wondering if there are any movies that actually fill up the entire widescreen HDTV in 1.85:1.
I'm almost sure i saw one before but i can't remember for the life of me which one it was.
Thanks!

One of the stranger questions I've read in a while. In addition to 1.85 - 1.78, 1.66 also "fill" the entire screen. I doubt you'll see any kind of comprehensive list though. The Dark Knight issue does have me stumped somewhat, only because I was never sure what ratio IMAX was.

The Dark Knight 35mm theatrical prints were cropped to a constant 2.40:1.
The Blu-ray alternates between 2.40:1 and 1.78:1 (the IMAX footage is cropped to fill the 16:9 screen).

Hey, I bought a 58" Plasma with 1500 square inches of screen for $3500 which works out to $2.30 per sq inch. I want my money's worth god damn it. You know how much money I'm wasting on a 2.35:1 movie? Neither do I but I'm sure it's substantial.

That makes no sense! Do you also look for only 2 hour+ run times? Or even better, how about only 6.1 or better audio tracks? Pinhead.

Someone should create a blu-ray wiki and have categories for stuff like this.
It should also compare the BR version to the standard version. Now would be the time to do it before the library gets too big.

I've never complained about aspect ratios that don't fill up the entire 16:9 screen, so please don't throw me into that group...I'm much closer to being a J6P than I am a film aficionado...but I've always just gone with the flow, figured the filmmakers weren't filming stuff in 2.35:1 or whatever else just to piss people off - but I've never cared enough to actually ask until now - why DO they use certain aspect ratios? I have my guesses, but they are just guesses.
I'm sure it's a fairly simple answer that can be made fairly complex through message board banter?
Thanks.

Well, there is a stickied FAQ in this forum, but it hasn't been updated since January of 2006. Do you think it's a wee bit out of date?
