I've never seen it but you might just have to make a compromise here. They might have matted it to (1.85:1) so that people with widescreen TVs don't have to deal with or bitch about stretching and/or zooming making the movie less than desirable to watch. Taking overscan and the matting into perspective, you'd be loosing very little picture and probably nothing important at that. If you have a 4:3 TV and want what was originally put to film, stick with the PAL, otherwise the NTSC probably would look nice on a good 16:9 TV.
