OP: you don't get the full screen because film is originally designed and made to be wider than your TV screen (i.e. 2.35:1 aspect ratio). When such a wider movie is mapped on to your TV set, you would get top and bottom blackbars.

You can select 1.85:1 aspect movies that will almost fill your screen. Check blu-ray.com movie reviews to find out the aspect of the movies. You can order from amazon easily through that page.

Personally I find it very interesting that some people really hate widescreen or letterboxing on their T.V., some people just tolerate it, while I really love it. I don't know if it's just the way people see things differently (all the focus is on the black bars rather than the picture), or if years of movie watching help you to grow accustomed to it.
I am of the opinion that if your display is large enough a really nice wide scope movie has an elegant look to it and allows for more creative composition. I am never distracted by the black bars whether on top or on the side, but I know that some people really dislike them.
This kind of thread will never go away because new people are always discovering the world of Blu-ray. We need to be patient with them and maybe some of them will become real wide screen cinephiles.
