Pan and scan is unwatchable.
Never try watching a Stanley Kubrick or David Lean film in pan and scan, an aneurysm can result.

The Kubrick estate has actually said his last 3 films (The Shining, Full Metla Jacket and Eyes wide Shut) were made with the TV frame in mind and cropped for theaters. The current DVDs reflect that. 2001 ASO however is in widescreen of course.

One of Kubrick's more annoying traits is that he wanted full-screen for his videos/DVDs, with the exception of "2001" and "Barry Lyndon", I believe.

Pretty much. The worst butchering job I've seen of pan and scan is "A Few Good Men" when edited for TV. The pan and scan is so noticeable it detracts from my favorite movie.
