I like 4:3 aspect ratio, gives video a better sense of height. Grand Budapest Hotel looked amazing, and it's mostly in 4:3.

3:2 is my favourite aspect ratio though, shame moves and TV never adopted it.

Right. I like 16:9 too but also enjoy 4:3 a lot. Content can be improved using either depending on the shots. I don't get how ones better than the other though I'll admit widescreen does seem more versatile. I don't like how these things are viewed as linear upgrades. Reminds me of when 3D games started coming out. We've come back around to 2D but for awhile many people viewed these things as a linear progression.
