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.

[edit] Add to list?

How about Visconti's The Leopard (1963)? As far as I can tell, the original running time was 185 min, and a couple of other releases were even longer; the English dubbed version and another (cut) version were less than 180 min. I assume we use the original version, in whatever country the film was first released in? Z Wylld 18:19, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

And how about A Star is Born (1954)? But I don't know if the premiere length (181 min) counts. I've seen the release time as 154 min and the restored version length as 176 min. Z Wylld 18:26, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Whoops, I stand corrected. They are both there. Although why The Leopard is listed under T is beyond me -- shouldn't it be under L? Z Wylld 20:09, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia should also add Napoléon (1927), proof below:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0018192/

Runtime: Spain:222 min (DVD edition) / UK:330 min (2000 restoration) / USA:235 min (1981 restored version)

As well as Gettysburg (1993), proof below:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0107007/

Runtime: 261 min / Netherlands:244 min / Sweden:254 min / UK:259 min
