Basic guidelines for inclusion
This article took a good deal of effort by many people to reach its current form. If you would like to add a film to this article, please follow the guidelines below. Failure to follow these guidelines may result in the film being removed from the list.
- Keep the entry short. The most relevant thing to mention is how the film is considered to be the greatest. People can follow the link to the film to find out more about it.
- The film MUST be cited as THE BEST in the category where it is being listed. It is not enough for a citation to say "one of the best", or "considered by many". The citation can be from national and international surveys and polls of critics and the public. Editorial picks by the staff of a periodical or website are not sufficiently broad in their scope to be included.
- Citations for the best films from a specific country should either be from sources from that country or from world-wide recognition. For example, it is not enough to be the favorite Italian film in America.
- This article strives to be NPOV about OTHER PEOPLE's POV. The POV of editors does not matter.
- Footnotes, Footnotes, Footnotes. If you don't want editors immediately deleting your work, please provide a link to the page where you found the citation.
