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 overview, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references. Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film. We are always looking for new members! Join us today!

[edit] Infobox graphic

The original film poster would be a better choice for display in the infobox. I feel that most readers would be more interested in the original poster (with the original marketing concept, tagline, etc.) than a recently fabricated DVD cover. Please see Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/Style guidelines. Thanks Postoak 21:52, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

By their very definition, guidelines are not hard-and-fast rules. I believe if a DVD cover image is sharper and more distinct, it should take preference over original poster art. However, I don't have enough interest invested in this particular article to debate the issue, so I'm not going to challenge the change.

Personally, I think infoboxes themselves are superfluous when every bit of info found in them has already been mentioned within the article itself. They merely take up a lot of space, and in the many cases where they are considerably longer than the article, they look ridiculous . . . but that's just my humble opinion.
