In general, I prefer 'scope if that's the original ratio, although the amount of the frame that you lose at the top and bottom of a 'scope print can be annoying, so if there was the option of a really sharp adapted scope print that offers the entire picture, that would also be appealing. I'd imagine that such prints are more common with regard to 1:1.85 than 1:2.35 films, though. If anyone has an adapted scope print that provides the entire width, I'd be interested to know as I think they tend to be a compromise that's more like 1:2. One feature I have crops the width to approximately this amount, but it's full frame, so you get additional areas at the top and bottom that you wouldn't see in a cinema or on DVD Blu-ray. It's certainly not what the director intended but it makes interesting viewing!
