A year since anyone contributed to this thread (which was me). While Django Unchained was in 2.35:1, I see Cars on C4 is too, whereas BBC1 have always shown it in a Pixar-created bastardised 16:9 ratio.

This was on ITV2 tonight in OAR. I don't recall them ever showing a Bond film in OAR previously.

I personally have started to rip And crop my blu rays using handbrake - not entirely sure exact numbers but I end up with something like 1780 x 800 (it's basically 5-10% less bars on a 2.35:1) crop is both 85 left and right - perhaps this figure is the amount of pixels.

I always feel with OAR that everything is a bit too small. 1.85:1 is too near 16x9 but I like it for drama like the crown on netflix, adds a filmic / higher budget feel

Yes 'but the director intended you to see everything - well yes but really the extreme left and right of screen, you are unlikely to miss anything important
