The film currently listed as Wish You Were Here should actually be listed as wish you were here. (lower casing, with a full stop at the end), and the on-screen copyright date is 2011 rather than 2012, as currently listed. Thanks to Gary Couzens for that confirmation.

Gary also writes to confirm that GINGER & ROSA is spheri-crop, though sources conflict on which format was used (HD or 35mm).

S Martin writes to confirm that Joseph Gordon-Levitt's directorial debut is called DON JON'S ADDICTION, not Don John's Addiction as currently listed.

The Korean film currently listed as THE CRUCIBLE was finally released under the title SILENCED.

"Ace Attorney" - "The Bayside Shakedown: The Final" - "Carrie" - "Led Zeppelin: Celebration Day"

Scope Filmography 1922 - Present Day
American Widescreen Museum


Recent Japanese cinema is the primary focus of this particular update. The Japanese entertainment industry continues to produce anime films at a rapid pace, many of them in scope format, and most of these continue to be rendered via 'traditional' cel animation rather than CGI. However, this leaves me in something of a quandary, since I don't know whether they were shot with HD cameras or (as in the past) on 35mm film. If it's the latter, are they photographed in Super 35, or do the filmmakers employ anamorphic lenses? It's impossible to know from simply looking at the films themselves, so I've no choice but to mark the relevant titles with an asterisk, indicating that these entries are incomplete, missing full details of the photographic process employed on individual titles.

My thanks, as always, to correspondent Gary Couzens for pointing out the 'scope' status of LED ZEPPELIN: CELEBRATION DAY.

In the past, I've listed a number of Japanese films under a transliteration of their original title, having failed to identify credible English alternatives for those particular entries. New investigations have unearthed English names for a small number of older films, as follows. The first title given here is the 'new' title, followed by the older (discarded) one in parentheses:

ABASHIRI PRISON: DUEL IN THE SNOW (Abashiri Bangaichi: Dai Setsugen no Taiketsu).
THE EXECUTION OF LOVE (Ai no Shokei).
I LOVE YOU [1959] (Ai Rabu Yû).
LOVE KNOT (Ai no Kizuna).
UNIVERSITY BANDITS (Daigaku no Sanzôku-tachi).

OPERATION E is now the official English title of OPERACIÓN E.

Previously listed as Adrenaline Rush, the international AKA for Korean film QUICK is spelled on-screen as ADRENALIN RUSH.

Though promoted heavily as Attack of the Werewolves, Spanish horror LOBOS DE ARGA was released in the UK with the on-screen title THE WOLVES OF ARGA, a direct translation of the original.

AVOID THE SHORTCUT is the UK title for THE SHORTCUT.

BODY TO DUST is the UK title of FILTH TO ASHES, FLESH TO DUST.

THE DANDELIONS is the international title for DU VENT DANS MES MOLLETS.

ORDER OF THE GRAIL is the UK title for EL CAPITÁN TRUENO Y EL SANTO GRIAL.

Previously listed as Seven Murders for Scotland Yard, the on-screen AKA for JACK EL DESTRIPADOR DE LONDRES is actually 7 MURDERS FOR SCOTLAND YARD. The director is credited on some English-language prints as 'J.L. Maklik'.

I'm grateful to correspondent Gary Couzens for spotting the mistake with Café de Flores, which should of course be CAFÉ DE FLORE, singular. I also appreciate that he confirmed the intended aspect ratio of the 65mm feature SAMSARA, which was designed for exhibition at 2.39:1 rather than 2.20:1, given that 5-perf 70mm release prints were viewed as highly unlikely during production.

DÍAS DE GRACIA is mostly 1.85:1, but one section was shot in 16mm with Lomo anamorphic lenses, yielding a 3.00:1 aspect ratio. I'm assuming the film was released theatrically at 1.85:1, with the 'scope' section letterboxed within the frame.

VICTOR AND THE SECRET OF CROCODILE MANSION is the English title of DAS HAUS DER KROKODILE.

And the film currently listed as Wer's Glaubt Wird Seelig, aka St. Daisy should be listed as WER'S GLAUBT, WIRD SELIG.

American Widescreen Museum

Once again, I'm grateful to correspondent S Martin for his significant contribution to this update, in both the list of new titles (below) and corrections to established entries (further down). I'm especially grateful for his caution about 'regular' 15-perf IMAX and not-so-regular Digital IMAX, which can make all the difference in the world when it comes to the exhibition of individual films. I'll try and keep an eye on those notations from this point forward.

A number of the following corrections and updates were first listed here in the blog, and I've provided a link to the relevant entries in each case. Those entries have all been amended to reflect current information.


À PERDRE LA RAISON and HOUSE AT THE END OF THE STREET (see here and here) are both Techniscope rather than 'spheri-crop', as originally listed.

CHAINED was actually shot on HD with unidentified anamorphic lenses.

DOROTHY (Technovision) and LYMELIFE (J-D-C Scope) were both shot with anamorphic lenses rented from Panavision, giving rise to some confusion when originally listing the films as having been 'shot' in Panavision.

The Large Format versions of FINAL DESTINATION 5 and RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK were exhibited in Digital IMAX only.

UN PLAN PARFAIT was shot in Panavision.

[•REC]³: GÉNESIS is 1.85:1 for the first 20 minutes, then opens out into scope format. Also, the on-screen copyright date is 2011, not 2012 as originally listed.

Most of TAKEN 2 was shot in 'spheri-crop' format, though a significant chunk was also shot in Panavision.

Despite what I listed in its original entry, no 35mm prints were struck for the 3-D version of TITANIC (1997).

LES TRIBULATIONS D'UNE CAISSIÈRE was shot with a range of anamorphic lenses, including Technovision.

[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 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!]

Sadly, the written Oriya language can't be reproduced on my computer, even after loading it into this blog in HTML format (it appears as nothing more than a series of 'blocks'), so I'm unable to reproduce the original on-screen titles for such films.
