Film
For some time the Wikipedia convention has been to use "film" not "movie" in all titles; this was discussed at length, before being agreed upon. It was pointed out that "movie" isn't universally preferred by any means, though it is U.S. common usage, that to many who don't use it it sounds slangy and somewhat infantile, and that "film" is more suitable for an encyclopædia, as opposed to a magazine. Moreover, in this and related articles the terms "film" and "movie" were used at different places — elegant variation, which is poor English style. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 09:48, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Poster-image use
The fair-use rationale says that images of posters can be used only: "to illustrate the film in question or to provide critical analysis of the poster content or artwork". It's not clear to me that that's what's happening at Film poster (which doesn't even mention this poster, its content, or artwork). --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 11:44, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
