No such thing. All three films are in 2.35:1 as that is their OAR.

You get blacks bars on the top and bottom, which is normal for this ratio.

You get black bars, just like any other movie that's shot wider than your screen

your tv should have a Zoom mode that will zoom in on the widescreen video and make it fill a 16:9 screen

And why not? If that is what it takes to enjoy watching something, so be it. Better that than missing out on a ton of good movies.

When I used to only have a "square" 29" CRT, I would zoom in partially on 2.35:1 titles. The black bars were still present, but not as wide. I was very well aware that I was losing pictures from the sides and compromised the PQ, but I was ok with those losses. Of course ever since I bought a widescreen TV, those zooming days are over.

I'm sorry to bump this old thread, but I'd like to know the name of the instrument that starts being played at 00:16.
