The difference with most of those is that they've been opened up to 16:9, so you're seeing slightly more information, not less as you would with a scope film cropped to 2:1.
A lot of blu-ray companies release their 1.85:1 films in 1.78:1. The reason is because most widescreen TV's are 1.78:1. The difference is very slight and its not just The Godfather that's been given that treatment.
The difference between 2:1 and 2.35:1 is like night and day though.

Don't really need to say anything about this movie, as it's pretty much a given that it's amazing. That being said, I will mention that I was lucky enough to find the R1 Blu-ray at Best Buy for ten bucks.
Also, what's up with Coppola's movies not getting released in their original aspect ratio? Like, the Blu-ray (and unless I'm mistaken, the DVDs) of the Godfather movies aren't in 1.85:1.

Is it his hard-on for 2:1 you're talking about?
The original aspect ratio was a major selling point of the US blu-ray for me. It is like watching a different movie.
I'm starting to regret not buying the 3-disc edition with "Heart of Darkness". I think that was a big blu-ray release day for me and I opted for the cheaper one at the time.

Apparently, the film is presented in the original aspect ratio and not the butchered-job that DP Vittorio Storaro has been inflicting upon his own work.
