I have a smaller tv (27") but I usually end up with wide-screen
I think all discs should have both formats, one on each side.

widescreen. fullscreen is an insult to movies.

i detest the pan-and-scan nonsense that fullscreen brings.

movies are shot to be viewed in widescreen.

meth0dical will become famous soon enough
16:9 is the aspect ratio movies are supposed to be viewed in. i watch movies in widescreen all the time, unless i have to watch it in fullscreen. and Partizan, when you watch fullscreen you're not viewing the whole movie, the sides of the shot are cut off. thats why movies are offered in widescreen

Widescreen.

It's crazy how much of the movie you lose in full screen. I have Hackers on VHS (fullscreen) and DVD (widescreen), and So much makes more sense when you can see the whole picture.
