Favorite Aspect Ratios?

Directors usually choose to keep their original aspect ratios on DVD.

Some, like Wes Anderson usually have very thin ratios (2.40:1, 2.35:1) while some like Stanley Kubrick originally filmed in Fullscreen (4:3).

Personally I prefer a straight 16:9.

What do you guys like?

The Korova milkbar sold milk-plus, milk plus vellocet or synthemesc or drencrom, which is what we were drinking. This would sharpen you up and make you ready for a bit of the old ultra-violence."

Whichever the director chooses.

I love the look of Kubrick's films chiefly because of the way he filmed in the aspect ration he liked most. But if another director doesn't share that same vision, he won't be able to do it justice. It has to be the ratio they, and their cinematographers, personally work best with.

After that, if it's good...it's good...regardless of the ratio.

In other words...I have no real preference.

I pretty much agree with LS, but i also tend to like the look of 2.35:1 more than 16:9 or 4:3.

Lord Slayton... what I meant was if you were to make a movie, which aspect ratio would you prefer to use?

I'm generally a fan of the golden mean...
