Well it's heartening to see the poll results.
But as some have already mentioned... the real answer to this poll is OAR, which stands for original aspect ratio. Personally I don't want to see a move originally filmed in 4:3 exhibited in 1.85:1--reason being it would require chopping off the top and/or bottom. Same reason I don't want to watch something filmed in 1.85:1 (or god forbid 2.35:1) exhibited in a 4:3 window--doing so requires chopping off picture information from the side(s) of the picture. And chopping a movie up is like blashphemy. Liken it to cutting off the top and botom of the Mona Lisa just so you can fit it in that square frame you've got laying around. Just say no.
So even though I voted widescreen, the key here is OAR.
