I'd get "How the West was Won", a Cinerama picture from the early 1960s that has been very nicely restored. You can even watch it in a "bowtie" form that gives the effect of the huge curved Cinerama screen.

Also "The Searchers" which was shot in VistaVision, one of the best looking formats Hollywood ever used. Amazing looking with great outdoor work in Monument Valley. Directed by Ford and photographed by Winton Hoch, a fella who'd worked at Technicolor and really understood how to shoot it.
