There is no such thing as "future-proof". But first some questions:
1) How far are you away from the TV?
2) How big a TV can you fit in the room?
3) Do you want a direct view or rear projection?
4) How much space do you need under the TV?Basically it sounds like 90% of your viewing in non-hdtv and 4:3 ratio. Given that HDTV is moving more slowly than predicted, is it worth getting a 16x9 TV for a few movies? Toshiba makes a 36 inch TV that was review in the Perfect Vision that upsamples all singles and was around the $2000 range. I would be tempted to buy that and wait to see what happens with HDTV, unless you are lucky to be in an area with HDTV stations and the ability to put up an antenna.
