Some of the atypical examples result from open-matte transfers.
Koyanisqaatsi definitely should be seen in 1.33:1.
I prefer A Hard Day's Night that way, too.

Definitely not all. Mine has two zoom modes; one is for typical
non-anamorphic letterbox transfers (like on TCM) and the other is a
compromise setting to get a bigger picture out of 4:3 material. The kind of
stretching you describe would drive me mad, too.
