OAR = Original Aspect Ratio. Or, if you want to have a lil fun: Obligatory Arse Ram ('errr wat mate?)

There are quite a few other blu-ray's like that CZAR.

Wizard of Oz isnt widescreen hence the black bars on the sides, if it was widescreen you would have the bars on top and bottom

Tru dat but I thought they could make it wide screen as they have did a lot of other older films that were not wide screen! Got Em!!

Anything that was filmed in the academy ratio (or 1.33:1) will have the "black bars" on the side CZAR.

For example, the Justice League cartoon was animated in 4:3 and is like that on the blu-ray.

Also, the original Day the Earth Stood Still.

I despise fullscreen, when something was filmed in wide (1.78 and up). But if it is filmed in full screen, then I don't have a problem with it.

What about the older films like North by Northwest? Got Em!!

Most films around that time were shot in 1.37, have you seen GWTW? Same thing, it's the OAR so you'll get the black bars. Best way to view a film imo, so you're getting the best product CZAR!

As for North by Northwest, that was in 1959, a lot had changed by then and more and more films were being shot in 1.78/1.85

Can't speak on that one's original aspect ratio. The blu-ray is either 1.78 or 1.85 though.

Edit: IMDB says that one is 1.85 originally, also it is 1959, much more films were being shot in scope by then.

Every movie made before 1953 will have the "black lines"... that's the aspect ratio in which movies used to be shot.

If 12 Angry Men ever makes its way to Blu-ray, it'll have these bars at the sides.

And I am fine with that

Batman1980 · 01-03-2010, 06:52 AM

Dude seriously, the black bars on the sides surprised you that much? It's hardly the first blu-ray ever to get a 4.3 transfer with black bars on the sides.

Still think it was a phenomenal transfer, all things considered.

The detail of Gone With the Wind was much better in a lot of shots, but I'm still very pleased with Wizard of Oz. Both look great!

12 Angry Men was shot 1.66:1. So yes, it'll have slight bars on the sides, but not like Oz.
