what kind of lens should i use for music videos and films to get the best 16:9 HD and maybe even anamorphic look.

i have a canon T3i
 
That's quite the loaded question. There are tons of variables that determine which lenses work for which projects.. if you're just starting out and want to learn, I'd recommend a Nikon to Ef adapter and some older Nikon f mount lenses like the 50mm 1.4 or the 35mm 2.0 but those wont give you the "anamorphic" look. To get that, go buy an anamorphic lens or adapter. Those can get pretty pricey pretty quick.
 
You will get that 16:9 look depending on the format you shot it in and the frame size it is scaled to when editing.
 
Use one made of glass, metal, and plastic.

More specific recommendations will require more specific information on your part: what kind of music video, what kind of look are you going for, are you shooting mostly wide, telephoto, with primes, zooms, do you want flares or a clean image, etc.
