Films/DVD Asylum

I was thinking about this a couple of days ago when I slipped in a DVD and suddenly saw stars... no, I mean bars!

I sometimes (TV mainly) crop top and bottom to fit sideways. I am watching CNBC now and have to struggle to catch the stuff across the top but the picture is so much bigger.
I HATE to stretch as everyone looks like they are in one of those house of mirror places and those skeletal actresses all look like Ricki Lake.

Well, there are different stretches, and I always freeze a frame and then try several modes to see which one gives me the least distorted picture. Sometimes I sacrifice small portion of top and bottom, OK if there are no subtitles.
Bottom line is there is no perfect solution, so I was wondering which poison people choose.
On a front projector I would not stretch, as the screen is big enough.
