When I download a 1080p movie, the resolution is not 1920x1080 but 1920x800 and there are black bars on my screen. Why?

Need more info to answer your question.
1- is the full HD rip actually of 1920 x1080 size?
2- what are you using to watch the movie? Pc monitor or TV?
That because the movie even though its 1080p was shot in wider aspect ratio such as 2.35:1 or more where as the broadcast films,soaps are shot in 1:78 ratio.
Including the two black bars the resolution will be 1080p.

TV shows are shot in a 16:9 (1.78:1) aspect ratio. Movies are shot in various ratios including 1.78:1, 2.4:1, 1.85:1, etc. So when they are released on Bluray (meant to be watched at 1.78:1 on your TV/monitor), they can either be modified to 1.78:1 or shown with black bars on either side and retain their original aspect ratio.
If a movie was shot in 2.4:1 and the width is kept constant, 1080p*(1.78/2.4) = 800p of actual image.
What others said. The aspect ratio is different.
TDK and TDKR has some scenes which will fill up entire screen while other scenes will have black bars due to change in aspect ratio.
Scenes which I can remember off the top of my head are:
TDK bank robbery (opening)
Hong Kong
Truck chase
Climax
TDKR has Opening, Bane vs Batman fights and Climax in fullscreen.
Actually no, IMAX format has much different ratio. It is 'taller' format compared to other cinematic formats.Those are IMAX format. ! its the way the movie was shot.
the once which fills up the screen are shot with IMAX cameras.
