16mm - maybe.
The problem is most 16mm prints are reductions from theatrical prints (not from negatives) so a lot of detail is lost (e.g. starfields) and there is a big grain increase - but the upside with 16mm is that it is possible to buy a legal copy, and you can get 16mm equipment fairly easily - far easier than 35mm.
