Best full screen (1.78:1 or 1.85:1 aspect ratio) 3D movies - no letterbox black bars

Cirque du Soleil: Worlds Away
Drive Angry
Beauty and the Beast
The Little Mermaid
Pacific Rim

Thanks! I have all but Little Mermaid. How is 3D in it?

Pretty mild 3D throughout. Nothing bad except for a few crosstalk instances with maybe two Sebastian scenes. He ghosts for some odd unknown reason. First time I've ever experienced any anomaly with 3D movies on my tv. YMMV.

I still recommend The Little Mermaid because of the hand drawn art style. Looks like a painting since this wasn't CGI. Nice contrast to the super slick glossiness of newer animated movies. Besides, I wanted to upgrade TLM to blu and having a 3D version is icing.

Has anyone mentioned Life of Pi? That's screen filling. There's that great bit when it goes to Letterbox though for the flying fish and they start coming out of the black bars.

Since I got my 55inch the aspect ratio has not bothered me. I think its size related.

As I'm new to this 3D thing, my new 3D projector arrived today. I'm curious, if I watch the 3D version of a movie that was in 2.35 for 2D, is the 3D version also in 2.35? Or is it resized to 1.85 to fill the screen for the 3D disc?

Not quite... the JVC conversions of I, Robot and Jumper were also reformatted to 1.78:1 from scope versions. Sadly it mostly involved cropping.

Thanks for the feedback on Titanic. That's one title I plan on picking up down the line once I find it for a good price. I'm glad for the most part that the movies keep their OAR as I prefer to watch in 2.35.
