Falling Down was in 4:3 for me.
Some awesome Docs that I streamed over the weekend.
Dark Days
Spellbound (also in 4:3 but not critical to enjoying the movie)
Bigger Stronger Faster
Protagonist
Super High Me
Seconding City of Men TV show if you haven't seen it. Very good.
A couple great movies you shouldn't miss:
Dog Day Afternoon
Fido

minor Correction the Starz channel(dish network) shows it like that with fake commercials and the movies back to back.

Ah, it's thanks to this service that I was finally able to get around to watching the Ghost in the Shell: SAC movie, Solid State Society. It reminded me how damn awesome the series was.

I was surprised by how much I liked Swingtown.
It was a CBS Summer series originally pitched to HBO who passed. Alan Poul, one of the Six Feet Under guys produces, directs and writes some of the eps.
The show takes place in a 1970s Chicago swingers community. You can see how it would have been fairly hot as an HBO show, but it's pretty damn good anyway. Some great casting too.

i just spent the last 3 days watching 24 episodes of heros as gears of war 2 sat there unopened. i wasn't expecting to get that into it. i had heard of the series but never seen it before.
that's the 1st time i ever got a game i was dying to play and not play it because of something else.
oh and "They Live"

I watched Ratatouille and it was much better than I remember.
Actually to be honest it was the best animated movie I've seen in a LONG time.

I watched this last night and thought it was lousy. Nice nudity, and a few funny bits, but otherwise ugh.
KING OF KONG, gamers. Very entertaining whether you're a gamer or not, actually.

yes.
fucking yes.
Best black film of all time. It's a shame so few people have seen it. It's the black man's Spinal Tap, only every single one of the jokes are SO relevant even today.
however be warned...for some fuck reason they censored it.
They cut off every word but n-----, bitch, and ass. It's fucking strange.

Thunderbolt
Breaking News

You have good taste.
I didn't know they offered It Happened One Night. Those old classics always amaze me that the comedy is better than most of the current shit. I feel like an old nostalgic man.
That crazy bastard in the car who is singing
"People in love are often very hungy!" or whatever that song was...:lol
I'm gonna add a lot of those that I missed based on your reccomendation. Anybody with the ones I underlined is alright with me.

In some cases it's because of bandwidth issues or source material (some movies or documentaries might be old and recorded in 4:3). In other cases it's probably because of licensing issues. I guess it's cheaper to get the 4:3 version than 16:9.
more suggestions that I'm sure others have gotten because I'm slow:
Read or Die
Once Upon a Time in China
The Thing
The Man with Two Brains
Jive Turkey

Surprised how long it took to get this reccomendation seeing as he was asking for "dope movies".Saren is Bad said:
