I agree that 2.39 to 1 widescreen films should only go up to 600px since this has been the standard widely used throughout the site. 500px was originally the norm, but it was logical to change this with HD sources more readily available.
I generally believe that films that are shot in the 16x9 or 1.85x1 format should be 600px if the screencaps are high quality enough (either HD or directly from a commercial DVD). Otherwise, 500px for these films.
As for older films in the 4x3 format, 400px to 500px depending on the quality.
