Thank you both - it's been submitted:

2007 Korean film Sleeping Beauty (the English title as well as the Anglicized Korean title; Hangul title is 슬리핑 뷰티 'Seul-lee-ping Byoo-tti'), written and directed by Lee Han-na, does not appear to be in imdb. It is in KMDB as well as Han Cinema, and any information needed to create an imdb listing is surely contained in one or both of those sites. Can you please have this film added? Thanks.

Added.

I would love to have this Finnish film about sauna added. Thanks.

EDIT: Also, there isn't much information about this one but it's far too amazing not to have an IMDb entry.

Still waiting for a correction of the year of Marcel Carné's birth. Now that all the faux (1909-2009) retrospectives are over, maybe IMDb has the courage to stick its head out and admit it has fooled the world even though there was no lack of better advice coming from reliable sources: http://marcel-carne.com/biographie/tombe-carne.jpg" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I've just tried again, over a year since the last submission, quoting the above...Croisez les doigts!

Thanks, Nabob.

You people working for free as mediators are no doubt doing a great job. Only sad that the fatcats up in the system seem to be blocking some incoming information.

Btw, could you also try to have La Vénus du collège removed as an entry in the Julien Duvivier filmography? I explained this misunderstanding in page 2 of this thread.

Duviv done deal. Let's see if they accept the evidence.

Sauna and Kobelkoff have both been submitted. Kobelkoff appears to have been included on a French DVD so I'm pretty sure that one will be accepted. Don't know if I was able to pull together enough about Sauna to get it through.

Louis Feuillade's Le réveil de l'artiste (Awakening of the Artist, 1916, 2 min) is missing from IMDb.

As is his Fairy of the Surf.

According to DVD Outsider, Le réveil de l'artiste is an aka for C'est pour les orphelines which is listed on IMDb. Is that correct, or are these two separate titles?

As is his Fairy of the Surf.

La fée des grèves / Fairy of the Surf has been submitted.

That does appear to be the same film. Thanks for the detective work!

I recently went through Kino's Gaumont Treasures disc devoted to the films of Alice Guy. The following films that she directed are missing from IMDb:

L'aveugle fin de siècle / The Turn-of-the-Century Blind Man (1898, 1 min)
Surprise d'une maison au petit jour / Surprise Attack on a House at Daybreak (1898, 1 min)
Mesdemoiselles Lally et Julyett de l'Olympia, au bal de flore / At the Floral Ball Featuring Miss Lally and Miss Julyett of the Olympia (1900, 3 min)
Lina Esbrand, danse serpentine / Serpentine Dance by Lina Esbrard (1902, 2 min)
Les O'Mers dans "Les maçons" / The O'Mers in "The Bricklayers" (1905, 2 min)
La statue / The Statue (1905, 5 min)
La charité du prestidigitateur / The Magician's Alms (1905, 3 min)
Clown, chien et ballon; Chien jouant à la balle / Clown, Dog and Balloon (aka Dog Playing Ball) (1905, 1 min)
Espagne / Spain (1905, 11 min)
Le tango / The Tango (1905, 2 min)
La malagueña et le torero / The Malagueña and the Bullfighter (1905, 2 min)
Le coq dressé de Cook et Rilly / Cook & Rilly's Trained Rooster (1905, 2 min)
Saharet, boléro / Saharet Performs the Bolero (1905, 2 min)
Polin, l'anatomie du conscrit / Polin Performs "The Anatomy of a Draftee" (by E. Rimbault and E. Spencer) (1905, 2 min)
Une course d'obstacle / An Obstacle Course (1906, 5 min)
La hiérarchie dans l'amour / The Hierarchies of Love (1906, 2 min)
Une histoire roulante / A Story Well Spun (1906, 2 min)
Le Noël de Monsieur le curé / The Parish Priest's Christmas (1906, 5 min)
La vérité sur l'homme-singe / The Truth Behind the Ape-Man (1906, 5 min)
Effets de mer / Ocean Studies (1906, 2 min)
Le fils du garde-chasse / The Game-Keeper's Son (1906, 5 min)
Le ballon dirigeable "Le patrie" / The Dirigible "Homeland" (1907, 1 min)

In addition, these films appear on IMDb, but Louis Feuillade is credited as the director instead of Guy:

La course à la saucisse / The Race for the Sausage (1907, 4 min)
Le Bonnet à poil / The Fur Hat (1907, 5 min)
Le frotteur / The Cleaning Man (1907, 3 min)
Let lit à roulettes / The Rolling Bed (1907, 4 min)

On a side note, the message board for Guy's Vampire (1920) appears to have been hijacked by some secret society of Twilight fans. Someone should probably shut this down, if only to infuriate Twilight fans.

Kobelkoff, Sauna, and La fée des grèves are all up now.

I'll start on the Alice Guy films some time in the next couple weeks. Will update this post as the titles are submitted.

Edit...

Submitted Feb 27:
L'aveugle fin de siècle (1898)
Falling Pink (195?)

Submitted Mar 1:
Surprise d'une maison au petit jour (1898)
Au bal de flore (1900)
Shi nian (2008) (V)
The Barefoot Doctors of Rural China (1975)

It looks like Kulian is already listed.


Still to do:
Lina Esbrand, danse serpentine / Serpentine Dance by Lina Esbrard (1902, 2 min)
Les O'Mers dans "Les maçons" / The O'Mers in "The Bricklayers" (1905, 2 min)
La statue / The Statue (1905, 5 min)
La charité du prestidigitateur / The Magician's Alms (1905, 3 min)
Clown, chien et ballon; Chien jouant à la balle / Clown, Dog and Balloon (aka Dog Playing Ball) (1905, 1 min)
Espagne / Spain (1905, 11 min)
Le tango / The Tango (1905, 2 min)
La malagueña et le torero / The Malagueña and the Bullfighter (1905, 2 min)
Le coq dressé de Cook et Rilly / Cook & Rilly's Trained Rooster (1905, 2 min)
Saharet, boléro / Saharet Performs the Bolero (1905, 2 min)
Polin, l'anatomie du conscrit / Polin Performs "The Anatomy of a Draftee" (by E. Rimbault and E. Spencer) (1905, 2 min)
Une course d'obstacle / An Obstacle Course (1906, 5 min)
La hiérarchie dans l'amour / The Hierarchies of Love (1906, 2 min)
Une histoire roulante / A Story Well Spun (1906, 2 min)
Le Noël de Monsieur le curé / The Parish Priest's Christmas (1906, 5 min)
La vérité sur l'homme-singe / The Truth Behind the Ape-Man (1906, 5 min)
Effets de mer / Ocean Studies (1906, 2 min)
Le fils du garde-chasse / The Game-Keeper's Son (1906, 5 min)
Le ballon dirigeable "Le patrie" / The Dirigible "Homeland" (1907, 1 min)

Thanks!

Several films from Kino's 3rd avant garde set are not on IMDB, including my favorite, Falling Pink.

Anyone know what the fuck is up with IMDb now titling films by their English language/American names (rather than their original language title)? Like seriously "The Tomb of Love" instead of "Das indische Grabmal"? It's even worse for more obscure films like this Italian one that I had no idea what the English name was: "Once You're Born You Can No Longer Hide" instead of "Quando sei nato non puoi più nasconderti".

Anyone know if this just a problem with the system or they're actually going forward with this change?

Edit: I see on the IMDb forums that there is unanimous agreement that this change is absurd.

Two films I've submitted multiple times with no luck so far:

Shi nian (2008) (V)
aka: Remembrance (the movie itself has it as Remenbrance, oops)
Director/writer: Jia, Zhang Ke
Cast: Zhao, Tao (I) / Yu, Entai
Cinematography: Yu Lik-wai, Nelson
Music: Lim, Giong
Editor: Lin, Xudong
Country: China
Genre: Drama / Short
Runtime: 12 minutes
(This isn't the same as Women de shi nian even though the titles are similar.)

Kulian (1982)
aka: Bitter Love / Unrequited Love / Portrait of a Fanatic
Director: Wang, T'ung
Cast: Hu Guan Zhen, Nancy / Hsu, Chung Fei / Si-Cheng, Mu
Cinematography: Lin, Hung-Chung
Country: Taiwan
Genre: Drama

Officials have said that they're going to pull back the change temporarily for all their sites. Then, with a few tweaks, they're going to roll this out again. It sounds like it is intended to be location-specific - so if you're in the US you'll see the US English titles, and if you're in the UK you'll see UK English titles. I'm not sure if that also means if you're in France you'll see French titles, etc.

At least they've promised that - when fixed - the akas.imdb.com server will continue to display the original title regardless of where you're connecting from. But looking through people's filmographies on the akas.imdb server is painful - instead of just listing the original title plus one or two akas they have *all* akas displayed.

I think that at the very least they ought to provide an opt-out option, so that people can continue to see the original title without the clutter of the akas.imdb server.

thanks Sienel! great work as usual.

one more:

THE BAREFOOT DOCTORS OF RURAL CHINA (1975)

Director: Diane Li

http://www.archive.org/details/gov.archives.arc.46549" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

They changed back to original titles again? And I had just gotten used to looking up The Night Watch instead of Le Trou!

sienel, I know you still haven't quite gotten around to all of my Alice Guy submissions yet, but when you get a chance, here are, um, 250 more films (sorry!) from the Lumière brothers' catalog. These are all from the Japanese release Les films Lumière. All of these films are under 1 minute long. I don't know who directed them, though they should all belong in the Lumière Production Company filmography.

I'm also not positive on the years of release, though I do for the most part have catalog numbers, and am making an educated guess below as to what years apply. I am basing this on a few things:

1. There are something like 1423 titles in total. More than 2/3 of them were made between 1896 and 1900.

2. 815 films were made between 1895 and 1897. 613 were made between 1898 and 1905, with most of these made by 1900.

3. Catalog nos. 1156, 1167, and 1174 (and possibly others) document footage from the 1900 World's Fair in Paris, so I assume their release date was 1900.

The film titles and their catalog numbers are listed by year below:

Sienel,
If you haven't fled in horror from swo's request, I have a mere three titles I'd like to see submitted:
Who's That Knocking at My Door? (저수지에서 건진 치타, Eo-soo-ji-ae-seo Geon-jin Chee-tah)...useful details here and here
Lineage of the Voice (소리 아이, So-ri A-i)...useful details here and here
The All-Powerful Romance (최강 로맨스, Choi-kang Ro-maen-seu, alternate English titles I've seen include The Best Romance, The Perfect Couple, and Strongest Romance)...useful details here, here, and here
Thanks in advance; sorry I couldn't fill out my list to reach the new 250-title threshold... :-"
