Does anyone know how to submit a film for adding? I have wanted to do this for a while, but not yet attempted to, and I cannot see where to do it.

To add a film go to Help from the IMDb page. There is a FAQ box that has a link to the page that has the 'Add a Film' form.

A word of warning:- You need to know the director's mother's maiden name and what the 3rd cameraman had for lunch on the 27th day's filming. I tried submitting one once, and they rejected it a month later as "insufficient information" even though I knew the name of the film, when it was made, and who made it.

Yes, I have submitted it now. It is indeed a big hassle (and not designed very clearly). I was quite low on the information side, but I did have a British Film Institute page to link to and the film is currently being shown in cinemas, so I've got my fingers crossed. If it is rejected, one of my accolades will not be able to be completed.

Another Bronte film, perhaps?

Nope. I wouldn't add films to the I.M.D.B. for an accolade like that; I'd just use whatever was there.

I've added my student films and had mixed luck.

Success! They said I would be e-mailed, but I wasn't; I just checked now. They also didn't add my plot info, but never mind.

Well done, Sal! Just a thought, but you might add a User Comment which mentions the plot info. Could be helpful, too, for those of us who may want to write a review.

O.K., will check that out, but the plot is: A man keeps sneezing everywhere (over fellow commuters, at home etc.); his wife tries to get him to stop but he won't, so she takes drastic action and leaves him. It's actually pretty funny - I thought when I saw it that it was a spoof of an information film!

Hhmmm, I also gave them the producer/actor listed on the B.F.I. page, and they haven't included him either.

I tried to add a comment, but it insists on ten lines of text. However, this is a one-minute film and I just cannot say that much about it without massive padding, especially as it would be a spoiler to mention the ending. Stupid I.M.D.B.

I know it's an absolutely idiotic feature...it's usually considered a good thing if you can say the exact same thing using fewer words, but they want you to add filler.
