Elizabeth, www.WideScreenReview.com, and their monthly magazine have been a great source for any letterboxed movie info since the Laserdisc days.
What resource has ALL the Aspect ratios of movies?
I have a Plasma 42".
I have begun to realize (If possible) that I want to play mostly 1.77:1 or 1.85:1 aspect ratio movies on it.
No where have I been able to find an easy access, rating guide that INCLUDES all the aspect ratios of the films.
Even many DVD packaging leave off the actual aspect ratio.
This would be such a tiny bit of info to include in the movie review guides!! leave out the word "widescreen" and just stick in the actual ratio!!!!!
I have re-sorted all my movies into three groups:
Standard (or 3:4)
16:9 or 1.77:1/1.85:1
And wide-mother 2.35:1
I can see why a projector might be the best for really viewing movies.. at least you can (??) format it and adjust the screen to fit the movie!
