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. To contribute in upgrading this stub article to Start class, the following requirements must be met: Significant intro (list the title, alternate titles, year released, director, actors starring in the film, summary of headings, etc.) Film infobox ({{infobox film}}) Picture: Consult WikiProject Free Images for freely released images from a film shoot, opening, or other relevant free image. 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.

I would disagree with the statement that a DVD can hold only 5 hours of film. I know someone with the entirety of the Lord of the Rings (approx. 9 and one-third hours long in total) on one disc. Admittedly, the film quality could be better, but it is all there.

[edit] Not A Movie

Surely there must be certain standards something must adhere to be considered a movie. Setting up a tape and taping a plant grow for 100 hours should not be considered a movie, nor should something like this.

If you were to tape someone reading the bible really slowly, would you consider that a movie?

• Agreed. Maybe someone should say that to the Guiness Book of World Records, though! James.Denholm 11:08, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Cure for Insomnia"?

But how could it possibly cure insomnia if you have to keep getting up to swap discs?

• The energy that it takes to swap disks wears you out over time. :) James.Denholm 11:08, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

I don't understand how the statement about Andy Warhol's Empire is relevant to this article. --69.239.134.239 04:25, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
