Yes. some are in 1:58:1, and most are 2:35:1 or 2:40:1 in wich these two will have "black bars". I agree with previous post, it truly is an artistic aproch from the director. but if you have a tv screen bigger than a 46` then black bars are no problem. I went from a 30` widescreen to a 50` dlp-- I guess i can live with them, because even with the bars, my screen still is way larger than what i was watching. ( viewing the 1:85:1 aspect ratio on a standard tv[4:9] will have black bars)
