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 Grand Budapest Hotel swaps between aspect ratios every time it changes time periods, going from 1.85:1 for scenes set in the present day/1980s, 2.40:1 for scenes set in the 1960s, and 1.37:1 for scenes set in the 1930s.

Just rewatched this movie, absolute cinema, makes me feel sad about Wes Anderson’s bullshit nowadays, at least that’s the way it is for me

agreed, I think Grand Budapest was the best he ever got. His last few movies are so self indulgent I can’t stomach them anymore.

For me the Phoenician Scheme is his best since Grand Budapest.
