I was talking to Stephen about this the other day. I'm the same, with certain movies. I've been longing to re-watch "Fellowship of the Ring" but I can't find it in widescreen. I can't find "Braveheart" in widescreen. I can't even freaking find "Lawrence of Arabia" in widescreen, and I have no IDEA how a movie that huge could be crammed into a third of the screen area. In the amount of time it would take to pan from one speaker to another across all those sweeping desert backgrounds, the dialogue would have switched between characters six times. I imagine the non-widescreen version must be four hours of looking at a sand dune while the camera wavers in the middle of the scene, occasionally feinting to left and right, as we hear Peter O'Toole, Omar Sharif and Alec Guinness saying various lines from off screen.

I refuse to watch any Big Movie in non-widescreen format. Unless it's a completely sucky movie anyway. The day I find myself refusing to rent, say, "Wizards of the Lost Kingdom 2" because it isn't in widescreen, that's when I might concede to being a widescreen snob. But not before.
