  Just rented from Netflix, it's in 2.35:1. Some of the older classics, such as Lawrence of Arabia and Ben Hur, also tend to be ultrawidescreen. Was seen by Hollywood moguls as a way to set movies apart from the new competition of color TV and its 1.33:1 aspect ratio . . .

• I suppose it's true to the director's intentions IF the original film was in fact 2.35:1 - Methos 11:28:38 05/25/02 (2)

  ...but I tend towards DVDs mastered close to 1.85:1, as I bought a widescreen TV to get away from the 'sliver of a picture across the middle of the screen' effect. A larger picture offers more detail to my eyes, and I can see grain when I use the zoom mode, so I avoid that method of filling the screen.

    or is this just produced for 16:9 viewing?

      I don't keep this info in my database, but I did notice that for one the "Men in Black" package says ~1.85 is the theatrical ratio.
