| 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)
- 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] Why Kubrick, but not Lucas?
This list is really random; if Lucas's "Star Wars" movies don't qualify, why do Kubrick's re-cuts? [Other than 'Eyes Wide Shut'] At least some of these re-cuts were definitely by the director, not the studio; in other cases, the director did the cuts but was forced to by the studio (like 'Brazil'). But the studio did not really re-cut the film. (Maybe 'Brazil' isn't the best example, but the "Love Conquers All" cut didn't really get any serious release.) 'The Exorcist' was not forced by the studio. If this page is worth keeping, it should just be films which are re-cut and explain the story. ThatGuamGuy 03:05, 20 March 2007 (UTC)sean
- I have to agree. The whole set-up for this article seems against the spirit of things, starting with a ponderous lecture on the auteur theory, and ending with a statement that tells the world what this article will not be. — WiseKwai 03:56, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
