Gary Couzens writes to confirm that THE COMMISAR (1967) is in black and white with a tinted sequence. Gary also confirms that ESSENTIAL KILLING (2010) should be dropped from the list, since it was filmed and released with an aspect ratio of 1.85:1.

The film currently listed as "CROCODILE" DUNDEE (1986) was actually released in its native Australia without quotation marks. As Gary points out, the quotes were added to international prints, presumably by cynical execs who thought audiences might otherwise think the film was about a reptile! Yes, they really do think we're THAT stupid...

Gary also points out that DOCTOR, YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING (1967) is currently listed as Doctor, You've Go To Be Kidding (?!! - try saying it with a Scottish accent, it actually sounds OK!), and that DOGS IN SPACE (1986) was shot in Super 35 (ie. 'spheri-crop'), not Panavision as currently listed. The S35 format is confirmed in the film's closing credits.

THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON (2008): Gary alerted me to a hideous mistake on this one. The director is, of course, David Fincher - not Michael Mann, as currently listed!

KISS ME is an AKA for KYSS MIG (2011).

LADY SNOWBLOOD: BLIZZARD FROM THE NETHERWORLD is an AKA for LADY SNOWBLOOD (1973), not LADY SNOWBLOOD: LOVE SONG OF VENGEANCE (1974) as currently listed.

And direct from the 'Small But Crucial Details' department: The film currently listed as Return of the Streetfighter is actually RETURN OF THE STREET FIGHTER (1974), while The Street Fighter's Last Revenge is THE STREETFIGHTER'S LAST REVENGE (1974).

These entries now run as follows:
