Notes on what’s excluded: Films shot with IMAX 65mm cameras but presented at 1.78, 1.66, or 1.90 — like Star Trek Into Darkness or Killers of the Flower Moon — aren’t on this list. A few films are marked with caveats in the original archive — rumored, regional-only release, or implied 1.43 exhibition.
