Talk:List of New Zealand films

message: I have removed this from the list, as I don't think it qualifies as a feature film. Although a very ambitions one, it was a high school production (I think shot on VHS), about an hour long. It had little or no dialogue, good use of atmosphere and music. dramatic 10:31, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Lincoln County Incident 

message: Marking those films which were not funded seems a little bass-ackwards, as it requires marking all films made before the commission came in to being, plus a fair few others. Better IMO to get a definitive list of funded films and mark those.dramatic 10:36, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

message: This list sufferes badly from having too many (and largely unpopulated) columns, making them all too narrow on most displays. I propose dropping the cast column, on the following basis:
# Cast ought to be listed in reasonable detail in the film's own article.[1]
# It isn't at all clear how many cast members should be listed. Lead vs supporting roles are not well indicated in most of the references, so verification only comes from viewing the film - a primary source, so not an acceptable source for Wikipedia.
#A large number of New Zealand actors are redlinks anyway.
The Genre column is potentially more useful, but largely empty, and assigning genre for films not listed in the main guides is rather subjective.
[1] If nobody objects, I shall start removing the cast column in a couple of weeks. I will do it a decade at a time so that I can create articles for redlinked films where the cast is currently listed.

message: Does anyone really think that 1990 is in the 1980s not the 1990s? I am going to add Tracker as it is set in NZ and a British/NZ co-production. Also it is a 2010 film so is in the 2010s not the 2000s Hugo999 (talk) 19:52, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: See decade, and 1990s. It's generally accepted that 1990 is in the 1990s. Decades differ from centuries, primarily because decades are not referred to using ordinals eg as the 200th decade (which would be 1991 to 2000).-gadfium 05:34, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

message: I don't want to add anything to this article as what is/what is not an NZ film m is making my head spin, but somebody who is in the know might want to consider the Jurassic Park trilogy.  I know part of some of the films (at least the large tree forest in the third) were shot in parts of New Zealand.  I don't know if this qualifies as there are so many if-sos and fact-sos.TeigeRyan (talk) 15:06, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

message: I think this should be a list of feature films, not TV movies. Unless works listed here were primarily created for screening in movie theatres I suggest they be removed. Exceptions to this rule could be (for example) An Angel at My Table or Bread and Roses which had dual histories as film and television projects. Quilt Phase (talk) 08:12, 7 November 2019 (UTC)

message: I just removed "Sands of Iwo Jima" because it is not a New Zealand film. Suggest re-wording of article definition to remove "filmed in New Zealand". My feeling is this should be a list of films produced or co-produced by New Zealand producers or production companies.
I guess this means the Méliès films and others should be removed, even though they remain of interest in early New Zealand cinema...
