that black bar on top & bottom of tv movies.

If it's also at the sides, you can change your screen ratio on your TV.
If there are none at the sides, then the movie is being shown in widescreen, and you will miss bits of it if you put it to the 16:9 ratio.

The black bars are widescreen features. On an ordinary tv with an aspect ration of 4:3, you get the bars so that the entire pictures width fits on your screen.
You can get full screen versions of the movies (pan&scan) but those versions cut out a lot of the detail in the picture. They try to focus on the main action in the frame but you can really lose a lot of detail. See this webpage for an comparision between widescreen and fullscreen.

In my opinion, if you're paying for a product, don't you want the entire product instead of one chopped off at the edges?

Buy fullscreen dvds instead of widescreen ones.
Unless the movie aspect ratio matches your tv's aspect ratio (and no zoom, like you said) you are always going to get formatting bars. Even if you have a widescreen tv, it has to match up. If you have a 16x9 tv screen and the dvd is in widescreen 1.85:1 format, you still will get the formatting bars because the movie wasn't recorded in 16x9 format.

Widescreen signifies that it has the bars that you don't love. there is not something incorrect inclusive of your television, in basic terms examine the DVD bins earlier you purchase a movie and ensure that it says 'fullscreen'! :]

The short answer is, you can't.
Wide screen format gives you all of the picture, which is really wide and short, (panoramic, so tospeak) but most TV's are not really short and wide enough just for movies. They also receive broadcast signals which will fill a TV screen corner to corner.

I don't think you can because usually movies with the black bars have been pirated and therefore r like that...
