And what about stuff like "Galaxy Quest", "The Horse Whisperer", and "Dr. Strangelove" which modify their aspect ratios during the film? Although I don't think that's true on the first two and their DVD's, you would have to see them theatrically. When I saw "The Horse Whisperer", I noticed it (about a half hour in, it goes from 1.85 to 2.35) and mentioned it to the manager who promptly gave me a free pass.
The strangest thing I've seen was on a Columbia disc I rented (don't remember which one), and there was a trailer for "Inventing the Abbotts", which according to the disc (I've never seen it) is 1.85, but the trailer played in 2.35. I believe that was also true of "Batman & Robin". I saw a scope trailer for it on a WB disc, although I'm pretty sure all the Batman movies were shot 1.85, probably so they can could be easily unmatted for video purposes.
