Editing Guidelines

Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article:

If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film)
- For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films)
When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references.
Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film.

[edit] Final paragraph

The final paragraph in the article states: "Quentin Tarantino references this work in his film Pulp Fiction. It is also 'quoted' by Jean-Pierre Jeunet in his film Amélie, by Cameron Crowe in his film Vanilla Sky and in the music of the bands Lloyd Cole and the Commotions and The Divine Comedy." I'm going to remove the Cole reference for the time-being. My own opinion is that there is a good chance that Cole is referencing Jules et Jim in "Speedboat" (i.e. "Julie said to Jim why don't we jump in"), but there is no verifiable content, but I could only find one external reference suggesting that that might be true: [1].

Oppose. Even when restricted to English language pages, Google returns 162,000 hits for "Jules et Jim" and 144,000 for "Jules and Jim". Most people refer to this movie as "Jules et Jim" in English. - Nunh-huh 23:11, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
- That Google test is much closer to a dead heat than a decisive result, but more importantly, the video and DVD packaging of most English releases of the films are in English. Surely the title it is being released as is a more relevant determinant? Girolamo Savonarola 00:23, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
  - It's a "weak" oppose. The Googling comports with my experience, which is that most people use "Jules et Jim", and the more they know about film, the more likely they are to use that title rather than "Jules and Jim". - Nunh-huh 01:16, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
