I have a question: are the films that were produced in even wider aspect ratios than CinemaScope, such as "Patton" and "Ben Hur" and "How the West Was Won" available on DVD in their original aspect ratios, and if so how are they to be accommodated? I am new to all this but have been a widescreen movie buff from the beginning. Now that I am retired and can afford to create my own theater, I want to be able to accommodate all aspect ratios on my screen and do not want letterboxing. I would use masking to accommodate the various aspect ratios. Also, is there a benefit to having curvature in the screen?
