List of Fullscreen 16:9 1.66-1.85 Blu-rays

Well the OP doesn't seem to be advocating non-OAR presentations of movies on BD. He's simply expressing a preference for the "taller" aspect ratios. I see no problem with that.

I myself prefer films that are shot in scope but I wouldn't dream of demanding they all be shot that way. The photography in Jurassic Park and War of the Worlds wouldn't have been as effective in demonstrating height of the dinosaurs and tripods had they been shot with a scope aspect ratio. On the other side of the spectrum, the robots in Transformers wouldn't have felt as massive had they been shot with a 1.85:1 aspect ratio.

Either aspect ratio was the right choice for the particular effect the director and the DP were going for. However, I tend to gravitate more to images presented in a 2.40:1 aspect ratio. It's just personal preference. I don't really see the harm in making a list of movies that are shot in the aspect ratio you might prefer.
