I'm watching Are We Done Yet? and about 15 minutes into it i had finally noticed that there were no black bars on the screen. Does anyone know of any other movies like this? Or if more movies will be like this?

You obviously don't "know the deal" or you wouldn't be asking this question.

Do some reading.

Movies come in different shapes and probably will continue to do so.

Another example of one that fits a widescreen TV without bars is Apocalypto.

OAR 2.39:1 have black bars
OAR 1.78:1 tend to not...

do some research on ASPECT RATIOS...

Always check the back of the cases before you buy. 1.85:1 or 1.78:1 will give you full widescreen. It depends if your display is under or over scanning. 1.78:1, like the recent Blue Planet release is meant to give you full widescreen (16x9). If your display is tweaked for that ratio, then 1.85:1 will give you very slight black at the top and bottom. If you tweak for 1.85:1 to give you full screen, then anything at 1.78:1 will overscan - in other words, you'll be cutting off just slightly off the 1.78:1.

There are 15 different aspect ratios since television was first introduced and film makers had to come up with a wider screen to entice the public back into the theaters and away from watching Jack Benny on the boob tube.
