What's your favorite ASPECT RATIO on video? (1 Viewer)

[Joe Bernardi]

1.85, because it's aesthetically pleasing on my HDTV.

I'd have to say 2.35:1. Watch a movie like Rushmore or Braveheart or many others and try to see all that is actually going on in that wide sweep! It is like looking out across a spectacular landscape that is always moving.

4:3 for all Simpsons, Family Guy and Futurama shows
2.35.1 for movies

The intended aspect ratio.

Actually, I like 2:10:1 the most. I love 70mm...

The director's intent is of foremost importance. However, I do prefer 2.35:1 - that AR gives a film a more cinematic feel. Of course, that's just MHO.

He thought on homeland, the big timber, the air thin and chill all the year long. Tulip poplars so big through the trunk they put you in mind of locomotives set on end. He thought of getting home and building him a cabin on Cold Mountain so high that not a soul but the nighthawks passing across the clouds in autumn could hear his sad cry. Of living a life so quiet he would not need ears. And if Ada would go with him, there might be the hope, so far off in the distance he did not even really see it, that in time his despair might be honed off to a point so fine and thin that it would be nearly the same as vanishing.
-- Charles Frazier, Cold Mountain
