Suggested Letterboxes: > >I would have trouble listing 10 films, made in the last 20 years, >that truly maximise the wide-screen format. > > This sounds like the call for a new thread. Limiting this to American movies (not out of chauvinism but because many if not most Hong Kong films use a lot of widescreen space and are nearly always letterboxed on video; pretty much the same for Indian films), off the top of my head: > > Kundun > Rushmore > Underneath > The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai > Very Bad Things (only 1.85 but really uses that space) > Face/Off > The Hunt for Red October > Mars Attacks If my memory weren't fading, I know I could add others, but one does come immediately to mind: THE WINGS OF THE DOVE (especially for the scenes on the canals of Venice).
