[edit] American films

PLease please help me with the List of American films - note that the lists are being drawn up using the year categroies. When all the lists are fromatted I intended going thorguh and adding the details and removing non -US film -it would kmean a great deal for somebody to help me -thes elists have trememdous potential ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^{"Expecting you" Contribs} 20:56, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] American films

Hey great work on the lists -particularly the most recent films. The pages that require the most attention are 1965-1998 -particularly 1980s and 1990s -many of them are empty as yet. I've been working my way from 1940 to 1964 formatting the films and will go through and fill in afterwards -there may still be a few non American films. We'll get there eventually and it will be terrific source when completed. Great stuff!! ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^{"Expecting you" Contribs} 21:21, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

I know I'm sick of the image police too!!. Hey you'll be pleased to know then I created Template:Filmrationale for films and screenshots and Template:Filmbiorationale for dead film people after 1923 to save having to add it each time. These templates may help you amigo ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^{"Expecting you" Contribs} 21:46, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

HI friend. Hey can you add a few films to American films of 1980 andAmerican films of 1990? It is the early 80s and 90s that are empty. Even if there is one or two it will be off to a start. I am going to add 1984 now ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^{"Expecting you" Contribs} 19:40, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Wow I had no idea you were even away on vacation!!! I've nearly got the 60s into the tables - this is my first task then to go through and add all the details and rmeove non US films afterwards. hope things and your job are cool ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^{"Expecting you" Contribs} 21:38, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Smile!

-WarthogDemon 02:07, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Thats a great idea creating similar lists for genre e.g horror in the official tables by decade. I am going to create a main genre template later to connect on the articles -hopefully they can develop like the country lists. I strongly think that the categories for all the different genres like drama, action etc need splitting by decade in categories like horror films -it is much more managable like this agreed? ♦ Dr. Blofeld ♦ ^{"Talk?" Contribs} 09:23, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

v • d • e Films by genre Action • Adventure • Animation (American anime, Computer animation) • Avant-garde • Biographical • Blaxploitation • Children • Comedy (American, British) • Crime • Disaster • Documentary • Drama • Epic • Exploitation • Fantasy • Film noir • LGBT • Horror • Independent short • Musical • Pirates • Romance • Romantic comedy • Romantic drama • Sci-Fi • Sports • Stop-Motion (Model animation) • Thriller • Conspiracy thriller • War • Western (Spaghetti western)

This is the new genre template -I've rid of the crap on the main Lisra of films page too -much tidier ♦ Dr. Blofeld ♦ ^{"Talk?" Contribs} 09:37, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Somebody has already created a side template but if the lists are too expand properly then the side template should contain the specific genre template e.g like you have done with horror not the main one. ♦ Dr. Blofeld ♦ ^{"Talk?" Contribs} 09:40, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

In answer to your question I do think we should include direct to video films but think we should only limit the tv films to the most notable ♦ Dr. Blofeld ♦ ^{"Talk?" Contribs} 09:45, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

I strongly agree with you the lists should be kept as basic as possible with rigid genre topics. To be honest I am unhappy with many of the ridiculous lists of films e.g List of films featuring the Irish Republican Army and List of films featuring Colgate toothpaste -they make the subject far too complicated . These make the film project look stupid. i am all for merging - gangster films are crime films of course etc etc. I only put into the template what was already listed on the main Lists of films page. See the List of horror films page now. I think the horror template should go at the top and the filmsbygenre template at the bottom ♦ Dr. Blofeld ♦ ^{"Talk?" Contribs} 09:57, 22 July 2007 (UTC) Action • Adventure •Animation • Biopics • Comedy • Comedy-drama • Crime • Disaster • Documentary • Drama • Experimental Exploitation • Family • Fantasy • Film noir • Horror • LGBT • Mystery • Musical • Romance • Sci-Fi • Sports • Thriller • War • Western

This would be pretty much perfect. Maybe romance could be split into romantic drama and romantic comedy -the latter is a rigidly defined genre I think. I do hope though you can still help me complete the American film lists from time to time particularly 80s and 90s -I do consider them very important even above all the other country lists. I like your idea for progression with the genres. I think its about time though that all of the genres above should be split by decade in categories like horro also. E.g Category:1950s comedy films -stub sorting has already gone down this path . What do you think ? ♦ Dr. Blofeld ♦ ^{"Talk?" Contribs} 10:09, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Genre split by decade is much easier for browsing I think - the horror films category is much easier to use ♦ Dr. Blofeld ♦ ^{"Talk?" Contribs} 10:11, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Super - you can find the film tables 1890- present at User:Ernst Stavro Blofeld/Film lists -they are empty - and save you having to build up new tables every time ♦ Dr. Blofeld ♦ ^{"Talk?" Contribs} 10:14, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Note also when you are adding the flag to thes enew horro lists can you use e.g USA with a {{ }} around it. France is FRA {{}} ,Spain ESP {{ }} etc -this way it has the flag and the country of origin e.g see List of horror films:1920s ♦ Dr. Blofeld ♦ ^{"Talk?" Contribs} 10:52, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

I guess flags take up less space this is fine - but I would prefer the Country name rather than a flag. Remember for Germany they've had many regimes which have used different flags ! I'm happy with just the flag though for space purposes only.

I'm going to go ahead and create some templates ready for splitting:

Comedy film
List of comedy films
Pre 1920
1920s
1930s
1940s
1950s
1960s
1970s
1980s
1990s
2000s

♦ Dr. Blofeld ♦ ^{"Talk?" Contribs} 11:07, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

I propose we merge all of the loose comedy lists into one main List of comedy films ordered by decade. ♦ Dr. Blofeld ♦ ^{"Talk?" Contribs} 11:16, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Just mark it as under construction though ♦ Dr. Blofeld ♦ ^{"Talk?" Contribs} 11:27, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

I think I've come up with a solution. A column entitled Sub-genre should be created and would tell the reader whether it is comedy drama or comedy sci etc. Tge same could be done with romance with drama or comedy. I also agree with you now that only the flag should be in the boxes not the country name as well - on longer lists the repetitive names from American and the UK will make it look untidy and uncluttered -you're completely right. ♦ Dr. Blofeld ♦ ^{"Talk?" Contribs} 11:54, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

I am now adding the remaining lose comedy-genre lists to the decades -then I will remove these loose pages and create the redirects asap. The only list that will remain at present then is the List parody films as these are not ordered and are different. ♦ Dr. Blofeld ♦ ^{"Talk?" Contribs} 11:58, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Then finally List of comedy science fiction films will be ordered and the merge will be complete. ♦ Dr. Blofeld ♦ ^{"Talk?" Contribs} 12:11, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

This is true there's no need then to order it good - but we need to keep it until the films in the main comedy lists are marked as Parody or Spoof in the new Sub-genre column. then it can be deleted and redirected. ♦ Dr. Blofeld ♦ ^{"Talk?" Contribs} 12:18, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

List of comedy science fiction films was the other. Here I am thinking it is time to begin an overhaul of categorization -clearly there was no point in the sub genre lists - as categories can serve this function. However the idea of American comedy films and British comedy films etc is useful. I am thinking its best to create categories for these rather than lists. Also Category:1950s comedy films etc should be created to begin organizing the hug emain categories. Whilst it is best to keep categories simple - when you think about browsing by genre -you think of decades. ♦ Dr. Blofeld ♦ ^{"Talk?" Contribs} 12:41, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

v • d • e Cinema of Canada Films A–Z • Films by year • Animation • Comedy • Documentaries • Drama • Horror • LGBT • Sci-Fi • Short Actors • Awards • Directors • Cinemas • Cinematographers • Composers • Critics • Editors • Festivals • Producers • Schools • Screenwriters • Soundtracks

Canada has already been done a while back. My only concern is that if film articles are catergorized as both American films and American comedy films - users will tend to rmeove Category:American films -which should be regarded as most important. Hmmm. What to do? Waht to do??? 12:43, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Yes I think it best to bring it up at WP:Films later -no rush- often though the response is limited. I think we should keep the American and British comedy list until a decision is made about categories -I've merged the parody list now - great work ♦ Dr. Blofeld ♦ ^{"Talk?" Contribs} 12:48, 22 July 2007 (UTC) .

What do yu think about Action and Adventure films? There is often considerable overlap between the two - really the modern action film only came into existence around the 1950s with the increase in special effects that made more extreme stunts possible. There is no film icon for adventure film yet -just action would List of action/adventure films be more appropriate do you think? However there is often considerable differenve between the teo -for example compare Swiss Family Robinson - an adventure to Die Hard 4 for example!! ♦ Dr. Blofeld ♦ ^{"Talk?" Contribs} 13:24, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Yes I 'd have to agree with you there - although some films will have to go under both lists. I'll ask my good friend Wise Kwai to create an adventure icon You've hit the nail on the head with mid 1950s for action films - although there are a handful of films even in the silent era which could be classified as action films. ♦ Dr. Blofeld ♦ ^{"Talk?"

Great job on developing the lists. I can't believe those losers couldn't see the potential of them. My Cambodian buddy Paxse helped to keep the lists and we won. Keep up the great work. I have formatted many of the American lists now. I still have a good number to do -when this is done the next task will be to go through and add the director.actor/studio details. I hope you can collaborate with me on this task when your great work is done on the genre. Well done good progress ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^{"Expecting you?" Contribs} 10:30, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Comedy films

PLease please can you develop these a little. These are the poorest of them all. Great work so far though. When complete they will be more than just lists they can have text in summarizing the genre in that decade ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^"Talk"? 12:30, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Just wondering

So, The Girl from Monday is a comedy science fiction film? Did we watch the same film? Anton Mravcek 02:35, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] List of science fiction films

Hi Andrzejbanas. That's an interesting change you made to the List of science fiction films page. The sub-pages have hung my browser four times now, making them difficult to view. (Possibly it's related to the multitude of little flag icons? The pages take about a minute to load now, compared to seconds before.) But my main concern is that it appears some of the films on the original list have been removed. For example, the 1968 award-winning film Charly, which is based on a science-fiction novel and clearly seems to belong on the list. (Likewise Mysterious Island (1961 film) and the 1966 Around the World Under the Sea.) I'm curious if that just an oversight? Thanks. — RJH (talk) 16:32, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi! Yes I think some of it I may have missed. It was unintentional. It may take a sliver of more time to load these pages, but to make better lists on wikipedia that are encyclopedic, you usually have to give more information then just the year and title, so I expanded on it over a few weeks. Feel free to re-add certain titles. The only ones I knowingly removed were the "____ vs. _____" monster movies as I couldn't find much information about them at all, but I did retain the Godzilla ones, and even added a few, as it's pretty light sci-fi, but that's basicaly what Japanese sci-fi most popular export was for several years! Andrzejbanas 20:00, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Okay thank you. Yes it does make sense to remove the "____ vs. ____" movies. — RJH (talk) 18:13, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Films by genre

Hi I know you do a lot of work for albums on wikipedia too but are you still working on the lists. Many of them are still untouched such as List of crime films:1990s. At the very least the films need putting into the tables -I am afraid they will be down the afd again like before. Thanks ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^"Talk"? 12:15, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Yes it'll take some time - I only happened to come across the List of Crime films earlier when I thought about adding a Bollywood film. It can't be done overnight I appreciate this - but if you could help it gradually this would be fine thanks ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^"Talk"? 14:45, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Horror films

Have you completed the other lists yet? ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^"Talk"? 22:08, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Who said anything about American films? I was talking about the genre films that you were working on. I only asked as I saw you'd begun splitting another lot. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^"Talk"? 22:26, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

I've gradually been working on US films. If you see years like American films of 1934 . I have reached 1972 so far -I'll do the odd years later ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^"Talk"? 22:28, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

All I need now on pages like American films of 1970 is for somebody to come along and add the cast and it'll be done!!! I find it easy to add the director, genre and studio first. How are you anyway? ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^"Talk"? 22:31, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Also check oout List of Bollywood films and List of Hong Kong films and Brazilian films of the 1920s , British films of the 1970s and Argentine films of the 1950s It'll get there!! ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^"Talk"? 23:03, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Top Secret!

Why did you replace my clean image with one with a dirty crease in for Top Secret!??? You didn;t even add a decent rationale ♦ Dr. Blofeld ♦ ^Talk? 22:49, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Find a clean poster and I'll be happy to replace it. ♦ Dr. Blofeld ♦ ^Talk? 22:50, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Infobox profiles

Hi. I think I'll have to explain because you'll never believe it otherwise! I was busy merrily putting profiles in infoboxes when, one day, I got a message (while trying to save the page) telling me that the topic was under discussion. The way the message appeared seemed pretty important. So I took a look at the discussion and it seemed to me that the consensus was going to vote against. So then I started taking them out as I came across them. Luckily the Frankenstein series is the only real major place where I made changes to the infoboxes. Sorry for wrecking you head with that!

Terrible idea. See this ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^Talk? 13:49, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Lol. I really lose my temper with deletionsists -that's all. I'm normally a really nice guy, but anybody who has ideas which go against constructing the encyclopedia and who try to interfere with my work I make them know about it. Hope you are well ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^Talk? 20:35, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Eyes Without a Face

I just came acrtoss Jami Bernard's The X-List: The National Society of Film Critics' Guide to Movies that Turn Us On and Eyes Without a Face is listed and has a small feature article of three pages. I wil try to incorporate some of the information into the article. As to when the article is ready for the next step toward a GA review, I would recommend asking a further peer review that will bring on board more editors.

[edit] The Black Parade Assessment

Hi, I had noticed you moved down The Black Parade article from a B-class article to a Start-class article. I looked at your comments you posted and added the information that you had stated was needed. I was wondering if you could check it again to see if it is appropriate to now assess it as a B-class article and perhaps any other changes that could be made to help improve the article further.  Orfen  ^T • _C 23:16, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Because Jacques Brel isn't alive and well...

...I would like to thank you for your recent editing on the article I created about [[Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris (film)]. I appreciate your taking the time to polish up the article's soundtrack listing. Merci beaucoup! Ecoleetage (talk) 12:50, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Onibaba

Thanks for upgrading this to start class. I thought it was a little more clean then stub myself. About the image, I took it off the "Magyar language version of Onibaba, but instead of saying "image" it said "Key". I'm not good with images (I don't know how to upload them), so I replaced "Key" with "Image". It is a picture of Suzuki grass with two of the characters in it. Suzuki grass is very tall. Yojimbo501 (talk) 17:59, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. Yes, the Magyar article makes our article look like crap. But then again, it could actually be badly written. I'll take a look at it with a online translator. Yojimbo501 (talk) 18:14, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Anyways, I'd like some advice also. For the article I frequently edit, Fires on the Plain, the production section has a reference that uses an interview with the director and cast to support details. Unfortunately, I always copy one of those references to make a new one. So in the part labeled "information retrieved", it all has the same date on when the information was retrieved. Is this a big deal? Is it important as to when it was retrieved? Yojimbo501 (talk) 18:25, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
