Corrections for a small number of existing entries:
FRACTURE (2007) is a US/German co-production, not simply US.
The film currently listed as REPLICAS (with a 2011 copyright date) has since been retitled IN THEIR SKIN and the copyright date changed to 2012. REPLICAS has now become an AKA. The 'HD Widescreen' notation has also been dropped, since the film was shot spheri-crop with HD cameras.
A note has now been appended to the entry for TITANIC (1997) to reflect the fact that a 2-D to 3-D conversion was released in 2012, to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the infamous maritime disaster.

2.20:1 (70mm blow-up)
[Pay attention at the back there, 'cause this one's complicated: A 2-D to 3-D conversion of this film was released in 2012, configured for D-Cinema, IMAX 3-D and Digital IMAX 3-D. The stereoscopic Large Format editions were reframed at 1.44:1, and this was reframed again for 3-D Blu-ray at 1.78:1. However, all 35mm and D-Cinema prints retained the original 'scope' ratio (whether 2-D or 3-D), and this was also retained for the 2-D Blu-ray version. Phew!]
