Corrections and Updates:

The international title of La banda Picasso is Picasso's Gang.

The Bar Sinister is directed by Herman Hoffman, not Edgar Lewis.

C.O.G. was filmed with HD cameras outfitted with anamorphic Panavision lenses.

D-Day: The Sixth of June is 2.35:1, not 2.55:1.

The on-screen copyright date of Dead Silence is 2006, not 2007. Similarly, Safe is 2011, not 2012.

Incredibly, A Good Day to Die Hard has been shot and released with a 1.85:1 aspect ratio, breaking ranks with all previous films in this series. The entry has now been dropped from the filmog.

The film currently listed as Oase should be listed as Oasis. It is a French/German co-production, not the other way around, as currently listed.

The UK release title of M'sieur la Caille is The Parasites.

There's an ampersand in the title of Nanny McPhee & the Big Bang, not the word 'and'.

A Teacher was shot on HD cameras fitted with anamorphic Lomoscope lenses.

Corrections/Updates:

Hesher was shot with HD cameras outfitted with Hawk anamorphic lenses.

For this entry, S Martin contributed info on every entry except the following: De Heineken Ontvoering, The Horde, Pathfinders: In the Company of Strangers and Van Diemen's Land. My thanks, as always. Keep 'em coming! ;-)

Broken Horses is currently listed as a 2010 production in the Indian Cinema section of the online filmog, but the details have since changed and this now qualifies as a new film from a different country.

Corrections:

Currently listed as having been filmed in 'Anamorphic', it turns out Chocolate Inspector was shot with Panavision lenses.

The Horde has just been released on UK video as The Golden Empire, while De Heineken Ontvoering has also been released DTV in the UK as 21 Days: The Heineken Kidnapping. And finally, Van Diemen's Land has been released to UK home video as Savage Island.

Thor: The Dark World is being shot on HD cameras outfitted with Panavision anamorphic lenses and will be converted to 3-D in post.

The English title of Als der Weinachtsmann vom Himmel Fiel is When Santa Fell to Earth. It is an Austrian/German co-production.

Burke & Hare has an ampersand in the title, rather than the word 'and'.

The Guillotines was converted to 3-D in post.

The original Spanish title of The Impossible is La Imposible.

The UK title of Rare Exports is Rare Exports: From the Land of the Original Santa Claus.
