benj, this seems to have been kicking around here for quite some time. Is its continuing presence some sort of time-honoured exception to the rule about excluding non-movies? Unless I�m missing something, I can�t think of any other reason for it to be on the site. Not that I�d regard that as a valid reason anyway. It�s a 33-year-old idea for a movie by an �outrageous� Danish artist who died a decade ago. Non-movie? It�s a non-entity.
Agreed. Crucify it.
Like the 33 year bit. |

I don't know anything about it, but I'd be glad for it to be removed as there is a lot of duplication with this film and many non-duplicates could also be transferred there. |

| My Country, My Country is one episode of the T.V. series P.O.V., so this makes no sense at all. |

| If television documentary films are no longer allowed, can we still have short videos for children, such as this and these? |

| This T.V. countdown cannot be deemed to be a film by any stretch of the imagination. |

| This is less like a film than the Louis Theroux documentaries. (I have actually seen it. He was also not a boy: the title annoys me whenever I see it.) It's just a typical one of the Channel 4/Channel 5 Bodyshock-type programmes. |

This was conceived and assembled as a theatrical release and met with great success. I saw it in a cinema. It definitely qualifies. |

Well, I'm not sure that assembling sketches can really be deemed a 'concept'. And just as we are now not just going with whatever the I.M.D.B. classifies as a film, we also shouldn't just go with whatever has been shown at a cinema, since this includes live opera, football matches &c. |

| Nothing from that article makes it sound like anything other than a bunch of sketches, so it only seems to be a 'film' by virtue of the fact that it was at the cinema. Anyway, unlike certain people in this thread, I'm not going to go on a witch hunt against particular films: Benj is free to act on whichever he pleases. |

| This has a 'host', something that is very characteristic of a T.V. programme, not a film. It also seems to have been made by a small, local T.V. company. |

| After lemmy's prompting, I'll also have to nominate this as seeming to have no characteristics of a film. |
