The easy solution is to go to the top of the home screen, click on 4K Movies, then click on Search movie. Specify the aspect ratio you want, and you have an instant up to date list.

Unfortunately, this site does not allow you to select a range of aspect rations, which would be helpful.

Personally I only care about content not aspect ratios, so I don't really use the search feature.

lol @ this thread.

Virtually all of the best looking discs on the format have black bars and aren't "full frame."

My first TV was 14" and black and white. Did I watch letterboxed stuff on that? You're goddamned right I did.

LOL. Me, too!

I had a Pioneer LD player made for the industrial/academic market, with a broken hinge on the disc tray, and I ran it through an RCA-to-coaxial converter to plug (via lobster clips) into that little black and white TV. And I could barely tell what was going on when I watched 'Scope movies, but it was the best I could do.

Some 1,78:1 / 1,85:1 discs are also amongst the best, but here's the thing: aspect ratio has less to do with image quality, and more with its perception. Simple as that.

I can't with average Joes, their disrespect to creators intent and complete lack of understanding of what cinematography is...

On the other hand, to be devil’s advocate, I also “scoff” at people who adjusts their TV by eye (and call it calibration) or copying Rtings settings. I scoff not because I’m a calibrator. I became a calibrator because I’m that I want my images to be as close to studios’ intents as possible (and sound too). Whether I like it or not, it doesn’t matter, it matters whether it’s right or wrong.

I watch my movies "as they come". I'm happy with any aspect ratio.

Here are a few 1.78:1 or 1.85:1 UHD titles that are in my list:

Bumblebee
Ghost in the Shell
Men In Black 3
Pacific Rim
Predator (1987)
Saving Private Ryan

Only six titles from the 80 that I own.
