I can't comment on movies so much because I've only ever watched a couple. I think I've only watched one dark film (Hostel) but that was night, no lights on so I can't count that one.
Nooo it's nice on the wall, it does actually tilt forward the bracket as well if needed but it honestly doesn't need it, unless you was to sit right up at it which is a bad idea coz then you'll get bad pixels.
