OK Rich, ever so slightly off target but do you remember a film made in the 1960's called "How the West Was Won"?  I believe it was the first widespread use of Panavision.  I saw it in Pittsburgh at the Nixon Theatre - an old style movie house with wide screens, balconies, velvet curtains, the whole 9 yards.  The movie was shown with 3 projectors.

There's a scene where the Indians stampede a herd of buffalo through the camp of the railroad workers (building the transcontinental railway).  It's such a terrific effect that you think you are in the middle of the stampede.
