I really don't care. If its in HD then Widescreen but if its like in theaters then Fullscreen. Movies are shown in widescreen in theaters.

I always prefer the original aspect ratio. That is my view as of now. There is much said about turning widescreen movies into fullscreen, but the opposite also happens. A prime example is Evil Dead, which was shot in fullscreen, but for most DVD releases, black bars are slapped on so they can call it widescreen. The Criterion Collection DVD was in the correct ratio, but is OOP. That isn't a problem now, as the Ultimate Edition DVD that came out has the widescreen and fullscreen versions.

I would say Widescreen but the best quality (IMAX) is fullscreen, so I will go with the best quality...fullscreen.

Yes, IMAX uses a fullscreen format, but it is not the best quality when a film was made in widescreen, which TDK was in the non-IMAX sequences. The classic 1940's Universal horror films were made in fullscreen...just thought I would mention that.

Widescreen without a doubt. Fullscreen you cant always see the picture and its never as clear. With widescreen you see everything.

I knew you and a few others knew that.
This board just has a section for the classic horror, and some of the members didn't realize that they were filmed that way.

On that topic, I have a question.
Casablanca was released on Blu-Ray, and it was made in fullscreen, so what would that presentation look like?

Random thought, but The Blair Witch Project was filmed in fullscreen and shown that way in theaters.

I have to go with widescreen, I do hate the black bars but I'm more than willing to put up with them to see the film the way it was intended to be seen.

I also have a book called Film Flubs, and it shows what the is missing from the pan and scan versions of some classic films.
