Yeah. I get that, and I don't think you are alone. That's why I was poking at Cody to stop saying "real IMAX" because it just winds up being FUD that further confuses consumers.

At this point it's best to think of "IMAX" the way people think of "THX". (I know, its more complicated than that…) IMAX will certify theaters and make sure they meed certain minimum specs and quality levels (and then it is up to the theater to keep it maintained at that level). The so called "fake" IMAX theaters are not a bad thing. In fact some are fantastic (like the Laser IMAX I mentioned) and even if it's' the worst IMAX theater in the world it is still likely to be the best theater in that complex, or really even that town. It's just not anything like 15/70mm so it's not the best choice for something shot on IMAX film.

Clearly, I have a lot of interest in IMAX and I want it to spread and be used more, but people are too confused to create demand. It's sad.

Unfortunately, that link you are looking for is what Cody provided. If you want a different tool, or are looking for non-dunkirk movies, the IMAX corp web site has a "find a theater" link at the top of their page. Look for "IMAX" not "IMAX 2D" in the listings.
