{{main|List of United Artists films}}

A majority of UA's post-1952 library is now owned by MGM, while the pre-1952 films (with few exceptions) were either sold to other companies such as [[National Telefilm Associates]] (now a part of the [[Republic Pictures|Melange/Republic Pictures]] holdings owned by Paramount Global, with [[Paramount Pictures]] handling their distribution) or are in the [[public domain]]. However, throughout the studio's history, UA acted more as a distributor than a film studio, crediting the copyright to the production company responsible. This explains why certain UA releases, such as ''High Noon'' (1952) and ''[[The Final Countdown (film)|The Final Countdown]]'' (1980), are still under copyright but not owned by MGM.{{Original research inline|date=February 2016}} The MGM titles which UA distributed from 1973 to 1982 are now owned by Turner (under [[Warner Bros.]]).
