Very rarely though!
With Blade Runner for example. When you play this DVD in a software media player (such as Media Player Classic) and take a "full screen" capture you will see this: -
As you can see both the horizontal and vertical mattes are very poor indeed
However, when you hard crop the mattes away from the above image you will see this -
And when you divide 968 pixels by 414 pixels you get aspect ratio of 2.338 to 1 (2.338:1).
Which is only 5 "horizontal" pixels away from 2.35:1. Or just 2 "vertical" pixels away from 2.35:1
