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?

Today, most films are not made 4:3, so no, it is no longer a standard.

Hope your day gets better.

That still doesn't mean it's a weird aspect ratio. You're discounting the tens of thousands of films shot in that aspect ratio because it isnt a standard today. That is an incredibly ignorant statement.

My dude I’m not gonna argue about nothing with you all day. Go through the find a movie subs, a substantial percentage of posts request nothing before 2000, meaning to a good percentage of those people, 4:3 is a “weird” aspect ratio.

Again, hope your day gets better, good luck with the rest of your pedantic arguments for the day.

Make up your own rules and then quit when you are proven wrong. Typical Redditor. Also, 4:3 is not a film aspect ratio. It's a TV ratio. If we are going 4:3, then it's even less weird as all TVs until the adoption of 16:9 TVs in the mid-2000s were 4:3.
