Rejects — 7 weeks ago

OK, it appears we have confirmation that there is a new addition of the book, so the changes have been made.

I went over and added the 12 films that were dropped from the previous version to the rejects list, which can be found here:

I believe the list was actually completely correctwith the updated newest version of the book. I did a check and the newest book which I bought in Autumn did actually have 1002 films in (a mistake!) and those 12 or so new films were all added in.

It seems, as the person below me pointed out, that a lot of changes have been made to the list. EJestico changed at least a dozen films and there seems to be other problems with the list. I’m deleting the changes EJestico made. I am unsure of the ones that were deleted. Can anyone help?


New additions — 8 weeks ago

While I would not be surprised by the dozen or so new titles that have been added onto this list, the amount of older titles that have magically appeared on this list suggest that someone has taken liberties and corrupted this list.

There are a lot of older Chinese films that were never on this list before, so please be careful when adopting this list as it may not be 100% correct anymore.


Untitled — 9 weeks ago

Can someone please fix the list cause there are like 10 new movies and don’t know which ones were deleted to put these 10 on there


Untitled — 22 weeks ago

Once again the list only has 999 movies on there. I tried to fix one of the movies. #819 has a dvd release in America so I added the cover on there.

Again, does anybody else hate editing or creating these lists because it never loads or fails or basically never works right?


Bram Stokers Dracula — 32 weeks ago

I thought that film was taken out in the 2nd version of the list, nor is it present in this list’s source. Why is it listed here and what could be replacing it?

list source — 32 weeks ago

I have re-added the 3 missing movies, but the list source needs changed and i don’t know how to do it. The current list source goes to the 2002 version of the list and that may be causing some of the problems.

It seems we’re missing three films again.
