Pirates 1 & 2 - Black Bars??

[Balian]

The most painful experience is watching Gladiator on a 4:3 screen. They cut out so much of the screen, you can hardly tell what the characters were doing in some of the action scenes. I always feel cheated when I am watching a NON-OAR movie ...there's always this nagging knowledge that I am missing out on the cinematography.
