Default Widescreen or Full Screen?

When I first started buying DVDs I wasn't conscious of the two different formats. When I got my first one or two widescreen DVDs, I just thought it was purely an aethestic choice for people who liked the black bars on the top and bottom or for people that had widescreen TVs. What I didn't know at the time was that widescreen actually contains the whole picture while full screen cuts some of the picture out because of the ratio difference between the theatre screens and TV screens. Anyway, before I knew this, I chose full screen because it seemed to me like you were getting more considering your whole screen is filled as opposed to widescreen where the top and bottom of my TV would just lay useless filling in black bars. Having become enlightened, I think I may have made the wrong choice buying full screen DVDs.

What's your opinion?

Here's a good example site to show what I'm talking about:
