Yes indeedy. The Guardian film and TV critics speak highly
of film4.

However, real film fans avoid it as they crop 2.35:1 films to fit a 16:9
screen.

And they break the films up with adverts too. My memory may be playing
tricks but I thought that when Film 4 started they made a fuss out of the
fact that they were a specialist film channel that respected their product
sufficiently to show it without any butchery. Now they're just the same as
any other TV channel with the exception of the single fact that they only
show one kind of programme.

I guess they need adverts to pay for the channel, but they can't be forgiven
for cropping.
