Wide screen or full screen

I'm just a regular Netflix user and I've been using Netflix for nearly as long as it has existed; I don't want instant this or instant that; I like to watch on my TV not my computer or directly onto my TV - I love receiving the envelopes and watching the movies with the light out just like - or as close as I can get it - the cinema.
But the movies I will not watch are the ones that have been pan and scanned to full screen; I want to watch as the director intended in wide screen. I have received various movies which have turned up as full screen and I just put them back into the envelope and return to Netflix.
Today I looked for Full Metal Jacket and Bonnie and Clyde - both are full screen so I'm not ordering them.
What I would like to know is am I in the minority or the majority and if in the majority why do they even bother to make them in full screen in the first place - those days have gone.
