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.

Lilja 4-ever - glue

Samotari (The Loners) - marijuana

[edit] Drug Films

Hmmm, as I went down the list of films I realised that there wasn't any reference to alcohol use. I assume that this is because that alcohol use is too prevalent, and not because somebody believed that alcohol is not a mind-altering substance, which it most definetly is. Does everybody agree that this article should specify that it refers to recreational drug use excluding alcohol due to the prevalence? Ph33rspace 00:56, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

I think movies with excessive alcohol use such as when the main character is an active alcoholic or if it is a college movie with lots of alcohol, but not when alcohol is seen as wine at a dinner party. Just my opinion, so I added Leaving Las Vegas.

I don't think we need any alcohol references at all. We do however need to add a sentence into the introduction that explains why alcohol and tobacco are not included. Someguy303 08:58, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] list only goes to T?

where is the rest of the list? Also: Party Monster

I have taken the privlige of adding Rolling Kansas to the list -Sky

it lacks on the list the film "Synanon" (1965) from the director Richard Quine.

[edit] Dazed and Confused

I remember Alcohol and Marijuana, but I don't remember the use of LSD in Dazed and Confused. Maybe I'm wrong. Anybody care to refresh my memory? Ph33rspace 07:11, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm just going to go ahead and delete the LSD claim. Ph33rspace 00:49, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

As far as I know, there isn't any LSD use in Dazed & Confused. Someguy303 09:11, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Naked Lunch

For Naked Lunch, I am unsure if it was actually heroin that was the drug in the movie or if it was a fictional drug...though I am not totally sure as that move was really crazy and confusing and I know that the book that it is based on is written by a writer, William S. Burroughs, who was an opiate addict and had written about heroin in other books...but I am not sure if it is just the book that is about heroin and the movie was a weird adaptation or if both are about heroin or if both are about a fictional drug. Just wondering, so that if Naked Lunch isn't about heroin then it can be changed. Weephar 07:30, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
