I have begun a project to help alleviate the confusion(and, hopefully cut down on duplicate threads) in the film forums. This project will concentrate on film collation thru out the forum. Eventually, it can blossom out into threads about individual personalities, and other topics, if anyone is interested in tackling it. But the movie threads seem to be the biggest problem, in regards to duplication. Since I have never been able to get the search engine to work here, I assume others haven’t either.

This initial list includes all films listed by the inclusion of the film title in the title of the thread. So there are probably a few threads I’ve elided over with certain films being discussed. I have also provided duplicate addresses for threads involving 2 or more films in one thread, wherever possible. I have also include film titles that clearly are miscategorized, but still reside in Classic Horror. Those listings will be edited out and moved, once I begin the Modern Horror section(even if they aren’t moved by a mod/admin). I have also, not checked to see whether some of the films listed, are re-makes, nor have I distinguished films by date, YET. That will involve fine tuning down the road. For now, getting the titles and URLs of the threads are the priority.

Currently, I need volunteers, if anyone’s interested. Off-Topic needs to be gone thru, as it contains many film titles long forgotten(500+ pages worth). It’s best to start at the back, and work your way forward. If someone wants to tackle modern, and another classic films, it will cut the workload down substantially for each of you. I need volunteers to proof each list as it progresses, for link errors, typos, url dupes, etc. Also, I will need help with dating(and separating films with identical titles, made in the same year, ie. Dracula 1931- English and Spanish version, etc.) the listings. Simply post your updates and lists here, for now(likewise with the other categories being worked on). Try to collate your listings in alphabetized order, and please eliminate the word “THE” from the title, otherwise we’ll end up with 50,000 films listed under T.


Upon completion, these directories will be fairly simple to maintain and update. Remember, you can help, or gripe about chronic mispostings for eternity. And wait till I get it done by myself. Hopefully these listings will receive a sticky.


Posts here, allow a 5000 word maximum, so I will be reserving posts for future re-edits.


Thanks, in advance, to all those who help out.
