because that's how they were made, and they consider it better to show you
the film as made rather than cropped.
having said that, there's nothing to stop dvd makers putting a crop signal
on the dvd so that those people who dont care for authenticity can have the
film chopped to 16:9 - i really dont know why this isnt used as standard -
no need to put effort into panning, just crop and be damned.
