16:10 is close to the Golden Rectangle but fails by just enough to make it feel wrong. I prefer not to waste screen acreage with black bands. I think a 16:9 movie should be shown on a 16:9 screen. I only buy 16:9 DVDs and won’t buy the 4:3 “full screen” versions.
Oh man you must really hate that most movies are shot in 2.35:1 and are encoded onto anamorphic 16:9 DVDs with lots of extra black bands in the MPEG stream :-)
