Jesus Christmas!!!!

Oh well. I guess it was un-wise of me to listen to the Wayans (On Leno) to say that they held the title for it.

Sorry my bad, Jamezuva's question(and I don't have a clue):

What was the first film to be released in widescreen format? (e.g. non 1.33:1 OAR)

The Robe (1953) was the first movie released in Cinemascope. I'm not sure if that's the answer you're looking for.

My question is:
though The Robe was the first film to be released in Cinemascope, it was actually the second movie to be filmed in Cinemascope. What was the first movie to be filmed in Cinemascope?

(by the way I don't know the answer; that's whay I'm asking.)

Here's mine: what is the only major theatrical release to feature two actors who have played Batman?
It's actually 1990, 1996, and 1917.

There were plenty of widescreen films before The Robe and Cinemascope.

This is Cinerama and How the West Was Won for starters. Going further back Napoleon was a widescreen silent and check out this John Wayne film:http://www.dvdtalk.com/dvdsavant/s838trail.html

Technical Specifications for
Napoléon (1927)

Aspect ratio
1.33 : 1 (spherical sequences)
4.00 : 1 (Tryptich sequences)

I guess it doesn't get much wider than that!

Incidently, How the West Was Won was released almost ten years after The Robe.

Here's a tough one:

This lost film was the first foreign-language talkie to be filmed in the United States.

Beg to differ.

RAILLY
Do you know what year it is?

COLE
What year is it?

RAILLY
What year do you think it is?

COLE
1995?

RAILLY
You think it's July of 1995? That's
the future, James. Do you think you're
living in the future?

COLE
(slightly confused)
No, 1995 is the past.

RAILLY
1995 is the future, James. This is 1989.

That's interesting that that's what it says in the script. They must have moved every year up 1 because in the finished film it's 1990 and 1996. Watch it again.

That is interesting. I'll watch it when I come home.

I think it's also neat that originally the script was called 11 Monkeys...
