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. Article upgrading needed: You can help! WP:IA   Stub to Start-Class Upgrading Instructions for Films Note that instructions for articles on other types of film topics within the scope of WikiProject Films are currently under development.

Non-free and unlicensed images are to be avoided if at all possible, but if used should include a detailed fair use rationale. (An image is not required for start class if unavailable.) Plot summary Include cast and crew information. At least two other developed sections of information (production, reception (including box office figures), awards and honors, themes, differences from novel or TV show, soundtrack, sequels, DVD release, etc.) Categories (by year, country, language, and genre(s))  Helpful links: WP:BETTER, WP:LEAD, WP:REF, WP:WAF Once this article has fulfilled these requirements, the film can be reassessed to Start class and this template will be removed automatically.

[edit] Assorted Cleanup

• I'm wondering if maybe rather than have all sorts of various categories, maybe an alphabetical list of re-cut trailers that aren't amongst the most popular (those being of course Shining and Brokeback to the Future) with a description of the change made would be sufficient. Personally I think the breakdown is unnecessary (particularly with some categories having just two items) and clutters the page. Darquis 05:19, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. I was just about to say that about the current method of categorization. Especially that whole bit with "Titanic doesn't belong in light-to-dark films because it was never a light film to begin with."

Not to mention some of the wording for the descriptions is very unfit for encyclopedias. "This trailer isn't exactly a recut trailer. It's actually a 7-minute short" and that sort of thing. --Foot Dragoon 06:57, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

• Ok, I changed it around a bit. The three main films (Kill Christ, Shining, Brokeback) are still in one seperate section. I don't know if they should be chronological or alphabetical. The rest are alphabetical (they're less popular/known, and thus are more difficult to pin down time wise). For the time being, StarWoz is in it's own little section. I'm not sure if that should be here or not, but I'll keep it for now. I think History should be replaced with a more appropriate titel as well, I'm just not sure what that is. Darquis 07:29, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Ok, so is the current system working for everyone? I'm not sure that the "big three" are so much more popular than the rest that they merit their own entry, other than perhaps in a paragraph about the origins of the phenomenon (and then they get listed like everything else). For that matter, this article seems to be becoming a repository of recut trailers. In the sense of being an accurate source of information about the subject, that's fine, but is there other information we should be including here? Darquis 03:25, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Soon there may be enough trailers under 'Other' to allow for more categories. I counted 7 or 8 that would come under Comedies or Family Comedies or something like that. Perhaps a comedy category should be created, or change the Romantic Comedies category to include family comedies. What does everyone think? Samatic 02:34, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Other Trailers to include

• There was a recut of Jaws that made it seem a lot more light hearted (I don't have a link handy now). I think it would be appropriate for this page, considering what's already here. My only concern is that this will turn into less of an article and more of a list if we include massive numbers of these, although I don't know how many are out there (and are done well enough to mention) Darquis 05:19, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
• Similarly, I'm wondering whether the "Advent Reloaded" (FF7:AC + Matrix) trailer[1] is worth for inclusion. --Stratadrake 12:26, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Let's not forget Tom Hanks in Casino Royale (205.250.167.76 00:22, 22 March 2007 (UTC))

• There is a whole host of trailers not included in this list. In order for the list to be definitive it needs to be updated regularly. There are currently over 1700 different listings when 'trailer recut' or 'trailer mash' are entered into youtube. If we allow for repitition, there still is a huge volume of trailers not in this definition. Jesterjessiechrist 18:31, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Shining

Could someone include the link to the Shining recut?

[edit] Copyvios

Please do not link to copyvios per WP:C —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Spartaz (talk • contribs) 18:40, 11 February 2007 (UTC).

Comment I'm not sure if re-cut trailers actually qualify as a copyright violation as they could be classified as parodies and parodies do not actually violate international (or United States) copyright policies. Perhaps someone can find out for sure? User:Gothenem

[edit] List

What happened to the big list? I enjoyed looking at all of them. If we don't want them cluttering up the page, we should spin it off to another page.--Richy 09:24, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Examples

Does this article need to list and link to all of these? There must be over a hundred? That is completely not necessary. Why has it been allowed to happen? —ScouterSig 16:03, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

I agree that this long list of YouTube videos is inappropriate. In fact, as it is now, the article is a good candidate for deletion. I removed all of the links to YouTube. • Supāsaru 21:07, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
