As a consumer--as opposed to a producer--of the movie experience, I
find that I don't really care that much whether I'm watching video
or film, so long as the composition of the image *fits* the screen.
Movies that aren't letter-boxed, for example, drive me crazy.  I
vastly prefer watching David Lynch's "Twin Peaks" pilot, to his
much-better "Blue Velvet," on video--because unless you're seeing
"Blue Velvet" on the big screen (or laserdisc?) you're not seeing
it the way it was intended to be framed.  Frame is everything to me.
 
I know this wasn't the question, though.
