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 list needs some serious work. Movies like Fantastic Four, Lord of the Rings, and Casino Royale are not remakes. They may be similar to previous works, but they ARE NOT REMAKES. Alot of the films listed here are adaptations of a book or a other item that a previous film was based on. Is the 2005 The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe truly a remake? It's based upon the book, not the previous movie. Plasma Twa 2 09:30, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Remake... Original(s)

Shouldn't it be Remake(s)... Original.

The way it is seems to imply... no, outright states... that all versions except the most recent are the original. Shouldn't it be that all versions except the first are remakes? Duggy 1138 22:21, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

agreed, but who on earth is going to sort through all of this and fix it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.45.154.133 (talk) 04:50, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Films based on novels

A film such as Frankenstein should not be considered a remake of an earlier film since it's based on the actual novel, not the 1931 film. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.123.69.81 (talk) 16:16, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
