personally i have no preference for widescreen or 4:3 as long as im watching the original aspect ratio and not loosing any picture
I agree. I honestly forgot there were movies still being made past the 40's where the aspect ratio was 4:3. I thought they all caught on by then
by the way, I'd like to see a movie with 1:2.35, just to see if it's possible. It'd be like seeing everything through a keyhole.
The ride-film Secrets Of Luxor at the Luxor casino had one part of the 3 part "ride" where the film was shot in the VistaVision format, which ran the film horizontally, and it was presented with the screen flipped so it was much taller than wider, so although it wasn't a mainstream film, your idea has been done.
The middle part of the ride used the 65mm 60fps Showscan format with live actors interacting with the actors on the film - it wasn't 3D but it was so realistic that it was difficult to tell the live from the filmed actors in many sequences. Its a shame Showscan was never used for a feature length film.
