"The 25th Reich" to "Thirst"

Every September, I begin a review of all the 'scope' films which have been released worldwide throughout the course of the year to date (including those which have slipped under my radar until now), encompassing all those that have been released and all those that will be released up to the end of the year. So you can expect more postings over the next month or two, along with a deluge of new titles for the scope filmography.

As always, entries where the photographic process hasn't been identified are marked with a single asterisk (*).
