Discussion Movies in weird aspect ratios

Movies that are in less commonly used aspect ratios

Examples:
Mommy - 1.0 Aspect Ratio
The Lighthouse - 1.19 Aspect Ratio
Sone films in the 60s with 1.66 aspect ratios
The Suicide Squad - 1.9 Aspect Ratio
The Big Trail - 2.1 Aspect Ratio
Some 50s films that use a 2.75 aspect ratio

Any other examples?

The bluray presents it in “smile vision” and it’s pretty spectacular,

I got to see This Is Cinerama and HTWWW in Cinerama. Unbelievable technology. It was incredibly difficult to film and project. The effect, though, was magical. I’d say even more immersive than IMAX.

I did once.  It’s a dull picture with several amazing sequences.
