I know that there are those who prefer having the pan and scan Poltergeist, (I'm betting more due to costs as, quite honestly, it is cheaper than the scope version)...
... but any film is always better in the widescreen original aspect ratio that it was shot in. The shots were designed specifically for that format and you do miss something in the translation, obviously.
Now, when it comes to films that were shot on full frame 35MM, those are "letterboxed" and they are usually shot to take into account the letterboxing, but sometimes in the case of those films, I actually prefer to see them in thier full frame at times.
I hope I'm not too redundant, as I didn't get around to reading every post here.
