What do you call the format that is NOT widescreen?

Trying to find a particular movie that is not in widescreen and don't know what to call that format?

Answer:
I think it's called fullscreen. There's also one called letterbox, where it keeps the same ratio that you see in movie theatres. With full screen and widescreen, some of the picture is cut off to fit inside a regular and widescreen TV, but with letterbox, you see what you would see in the theatre.
fullscreen
standard or fullscreen
Fullscreen. :)
4:3 normal aspect ratio
standard
full screen :)
Fullscreen ^.^
It is called "4:3 Standard." It's important that you indicate 4:3 - which measures the width-to-height ratio, because "standards" vary depending on medium and your geographic location. The "standard" in Europe is different from the "standard" in the U.S.; The "standard" for film is different from the "standard" in television.

What you are asking about is called "aspect ratio" - there's some great information about it at the link below.
