I'd much rather have pillar boxed or letter boxed, and be able to see the scene the way it was filmed.
There is a scene in the movie Desk Set, with the 3 main characters at a small dining table. When cropped, you only see the center character, and the hands of the other 2 on each side. It ruins the scene completely. It's a perfect example of why pan and scan for 4.3 aspect ratio is terrible.
