Theres also a wider format than 2:35:1 that you see with alot of older classic films from the 50s and 60s.
Heres a wiki page that compares some of the images http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspect_ratio_(image)

There were a ton of "early adopter" DVDs from like 1997-2000 that were Non-Anamorphic.

I was an early adopter. I actually bought my first DVD (Metropolis) before I had a DVD player. I will replace the old ones as I find newer releases if they're cheap. Otherwise I just deal. |

DId you ever have a Laserdisc player? I had an old Pioneer back in the early 90s.

Yep, still do. I had one that I paid for a long time ago, but it broke. About the same time, a dentist I know was getting rid of his because it was broken. He said I could have it. A $5 part later, I had a fancy LD player that would flip discs on its own!

I bring mine out of the closet every now and then to watch the original, unmolested Star Wars trilogy. I've also got The Godfather Epic on LD (that's the one where Coppola edited the first two into chronological order).

It seems like 1.66:1 is the only widescreen resolution that will completely fill the screen of a 16:9 TV. Even 1.85:1 will have small black bars at the top and bottom.
