Film Comment Top 50 Cross-Referencing

Really just noting myself, but wanted to look at any discrepancies between the Film Comment top 50 (I've found typically the most reliable for encompassing everything theatrically released in the given year) and D'Angelo's commercial release lists.
-Is Room 237 a 2012 or 2013 release? By all accounts it should be 2013 but D'Angelo specifically says it was released in 2012 in the week of December 7.
-Le Pont du Nord, 2013? Probable D'Angelo mistake.
-Cousin Jules, Dominique Benicheti: never heard of nor on D'Angelo's list.
-A Man Vanishes, Imamura, 2012
-Of Time and the City, Davies, 2009
-Gomorrah, Garrone, 2008
-Ashes of Time Redux, 2008: fairly understandable
-Fengming: A Chinese Memoir, 2008
-Killer of Sheep, 2007: the impetus for the list, especially because it's so freaking high (6!!)
Army of Shadows doesn't count anymore but for posterity's sake
-When the Levees Broke, 2006: not sure whether this was actually shown in theaters, should check
-No Direction Home, 2005: same as above
-Apocalypse Now Redux, 2001: odd coincidence in titling
