MYTH! Kubrick only insisted that some of his films only be available on video in 1.33:1 because he was disgusted with the alternatives (pan-and-scan, which destroyed his compositions, and letterbox, which preserved the compositions at a reduced resolution [at the time]).

So do I. Except when it's supposed to be in fullscreen (some of Kubrick's).

I hate it when I can't find a film in widescreen format.

Actually, for Shining and Eyes Wide Shut, he shot the movies in 1.33:1, and for the theaters, he cropped the top and bottom, so the fullscreen version IS the most complete version. For Full Metal Jacket, he shot it between 1.33:1 and widescreen, so both ways lose a little bit. I am not sure how the other films are. The only films he did that are reall,y really intended to see in widescreen are Spartacus and 2001, although most of his films (except Shining and Eyes Wide Shut) are available in some sort of widescreen.
