Personally, I don't think there's any excuse for this on an HD format. It's pointless. Obviously, people with displays like most of us are using would rather have that tiny black bar on 1.85:1 films and know that we're seeing the entire image than have things fill our screens completely. This was a trend on DVD and, unfortunately, it's carried over into the HD realm as well. On the other hand, the difference between 1.78:1 and 1.85:1 is so slight that it really doesn't make much of a difference. I'm not even sure if this was your question to be honest, but it is the right answer. lol

Well yes, this answer is pretty good. But where did you get that information? Do you have any source saying that the blu-ray version is actually in 1.78:1?

Cuz the DVD version is definitly in 1.85:1..
