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.

This category is really very unpopulated. I suppose 1/10 of the American films on Wikipedia is here. This should be populated like Category:American actors. - Darwinek 13:39, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

I assume you're counting all the subcats as well? Doesn't matter much to me - I'm just going through removing very outdated popcat tags. I'll leave this alone... —Wknight94 (talk) 14:57, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

I've noticed people just removing things from this category outright in order to prevent category bloat. Is that according to policy? It seems like it would be better to make subcategories than to arbitrarily remove things from a valid category.--TexasDex 02:03, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps, then, there should be more subcategories? (There is only one at this time). Marasmusine 21:33, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

I have reorganized structure of page the page should only be one page and all the films diffused by decade neatly. I have also created categories to put the strayed sub categories in. Many this category has got way out of countrol and removing films from list entirely isn't the way to do it. The page should just be a main point for the new sub category pagesErnst Stavro Blofeld 20:13, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

I just think that the name is miss leading. Should films from South America also bee here, and Central America, Canada. They are all part of America. There should be another category United States films. --Steinninn 11:30, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] An American film?

What is it that makes a film an "American film"? Does it have American actors, American writers, an American director, is it filmed in America, or is it a combination of the above? As it stands, this category is ill-defined. Martin 09:00, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
