Wide screen or Full frame

Which do you prefer your dvd's to be?
Personally I like wide screen, More authentic. Thats how a movie should be watched.

If given a choice, always widescreen. That's the way it was meant to be seen.

Well, sometimes I like to have both. Some widescreen films are "cropped" versions that do actually slice part of the image off the top and bottom (the recent Harryhausen Sinbad DVD rereleases for example). On a really good day, I like to have both versions so I can compare them ("Hey wow! In the full-frame BLACULA I can see more of the burning candles and the candlestick in that shot!"). But that's being greedy...isn't it?

Full frame is usually filled with "pan and scan" which is annoying and unnatural to watch.

I remember seeing Aliens for the first time in widescreen "i had ponly seen full screen for close to ten years) and was like "Wow! it's like watching a new movie!"

if Im stuck watching on laptop I prefer full screen, but when at home definitely widescreen.

then again with a projector and 13x20 clear wall painted flat off white you dont even notice the bars on top and bottom. Play SOCOM 1 time that size and you will be looking for walls all over your place to play on. lol
