Does widescreen dvds play on regular tvs?

Question

I just bought a widescreen movie (not realizing it) and wanted to play it in the car for the kids.

Answer 1

Yes. But depending on  the size of the screen and make (some companies permit  their remotes to fill the screen), will leave black bars across the top and bottom. That could or could not be a problem to you.

It has never bothered me.
