A list of 35mm features released in the 1.37:1 aspect ratio after 1953, the year widescreen formats became the industry standard in Hollywood. Soft-matted widescreen is easily mistaken for full-frame 1.37 — don't be fooled!


Rules of thumb

  • With very few exceptions, all Japanese films made before the late 1970s are either 1.37 or 'scope
  • Films originally released for TV exhibition or on 16mm are more likely than others to be natively 1.37
