I think more commercial directors (or at least directors direction comercial projects) tend to use 1:85 because the switch to 4:3 for home video is much less noticable. I agree that more films should be shot wide, and with DVD becoming popular, people have become (at least a bit) more used to watching films in a wider ratio. A great director can do wonders with any ratio he chooses to work with, but a merely good/competent one can benefit from the scope that a wider ratio can give him.
