There was a kubrick retrospective at the french cinémathèque recently. I went to see FMJ and the movie was shown in 1.37. (although I couldn't say for sure that there wasn't other screenings in 1.85)
When I compare the DVD and blu ray versions, 1.37 feels more like the original composition imo, especially on FMJ and EYS, but both versions have advantages and both offer a unique experience.
I think that if you really want to do it right, you should offer the choice to see those three either in 1.37, 1.66 or 1.85.
At least release one HD version either for the 1.37 or the 1.66. I think that it would be interesting for everybody who love these films, even those who thinks that the 1.85 is ten times better.
