Yep. Actually I think 16:9 is wide, 2.35:1 is "cinema". Or at least in the
Goldeneye video options. :)
The default is actually 4:3, not 5:4.
Other good ratios are tau (~1.618:1), the golden ratio, 2.5:1, panoramic?,
and 4:5.

Gilles Tran has some great renders at 2.5:1,

I have a render in tau, a render in 5:4 (vertical 4:5), and the mc escher
