Yes, but that's just one summariser's vocabulary choice. All entries in this thread are or have been categorized as 'films' by the I.M.D.B., but even that is no longer the defining factor. |

Or these? |

| I watched this and it is a typical T.V. documentary, much less film-like than the Louis Theroux ones, for example. |

Perhaps, but I saw it at the cinema. Does that not count? |

That's not a defining factor either. (As I've mentioned, one can see live opera and football at the cinema, for example.) Nothing is a defining factor any more, unfortunately. It's just up to Benj. I'm just pointing out possible cases for exclusion as I come across them so that he has the option: I'm not going on a crusade against particular films, unlike at least one person in this thread. |

I am not sure who that person is; i tried to find out by looking back through the thread, but after working back through 25 posts and finding 20 of them were from you, I gave up! If you're not on a crusade, then you certainly seem to be making a point about something  |

Richard Pryor Live on the Sunset Strip could be described the same way. Yet, most people saw this as a film and not on the Sunset Strip. |

Er, no, because I am not going on and on in some kind of personal vendetta against the same particular films, like that person did. I would rather Benj did other things, such as eliminate actual errors in reported reviews, than subjectively remove films; however, it is his free choice and if he is going to do it then I'd rather it were as consistent as possible. So I'm just highlighting strong candidates for removal whenever I think of/come across them. |
