• Oppose LuiKhuntek 04:31, 2 January 2006 (UTC) -- English grammar calls for the capitalization all major words in a title even if consisting of foreign words. Foreign grammar rules are not generally adopted for English -- e.g., "with Das Kapital,"not "with dem Kapital" LuiKhuntek 22:38, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

IMDB uses the name "Nuovo cinema Paradiso", as does the Italian WP. The film was released in the US and the UK as "Cinema Paradiso". IMO, the name should be either the Italian "Nuovo cinema Paradiso" or the English "Cinema Paradiso", not the correct mixture. Olessi 09:15, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

IMDb does not source its capitaliztion. Movie posters at IMDb show it in either all caps or all miniscules. Other sites use title caps for all three words. Even some Italian language sites use cap-cap-cap or cap-min-min. (Despite my own criticism of the practice, I used Google hits as my source.) With such a lack of consensus, English grammar rules should apply. But this is English (language) Wikipedia and not US/UK Wikipedia so stick with Nuovo Cinema Paradiso LuiKhuntek 06:27, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

I'm afraid I can't move in this case, no consensus reached; in addition, it seems as if the current title is indeed correct. —Nightstallion (?) 13:31, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Red Boards

Can anyone please enlighten me as to what the village women were doing with the angled red boards in the village square? Gillean666
