Many years ago Michael Starks from 3DTV corporation converted
many stereoscopic movies (I guess from a range of different formats -
twin strip, over-under, side-by-side) to VHS field sequential.
Unfortunately many of these conversions cannot be sold/marketed
due to copyright problems.
I don't know what technology he used.  There are standard techniques
for converting film to video but Michael must have used some
special techniques to make it all work in stereo.

3DTV corp still does have many field-sequential VHS tapes for sale
but unfortunately I don't think any from Hollywood.
I think he does sell some demo tapes though which have shorts of 
several hollywood movies - you should check before buying.
3DTV is on the web at:  www.3dmagic.com

A few other companies also sell field-sequential VHS tapes but 
none, to my knowledge, from Hollywood movies.

Here's my full list of web sites with field-sequential (VHS) movies
for sale:
