Here's a video I made that takes a bunch of modern examples to help filmmakers choose an aspect ratio. I constantly had problems with this in the past and would just throw on the letterbox effect and leave the controls automatic! Hope this can help.

I agree- I've recently started using 2:1 as it's a compromise between the idea of "filling up the frame" with a 16:9 ratio, and the "cinematic" look of 2.35:1.
