Comments:

This is a very influential comedy that helped pioneer the "gross-out" comedy that became very popular in the 1990s and continues on in this decade. I think that will a little more input this article could be greatly improved. --J.D. 18:46, 26 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Very important film. It deserves more attention. James Luftan ^contribs 22:50, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Widely considered among the best and funniest movies ever made. Influenced a slew of knockoffs and ripoffs even until this day. Several of the actors and filmmakers went on to have big careers after this. --GHcool 01:23, 7 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support:

• The Giant Puffin • 18:54, 1 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comments:

The Terminator is of Top importance in this Wikiproject, and currently needs a lot of improvement. The article has no references whatsoever, and needs general expansion and improvement. Although the release is covered, the section is very brief and the film's reception is not covered. This film is one of the best films of the past 25 years, and this collaboration will help the article become great as well - • The Giant Puffin • 18:54, 1 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

-* The most successful collaborations I have seen are broad topics which already have lots of decent information already on Wikipedia.  There is lots of information online to improve these articles and they are of broad interest.  This nomination in itself isn't that important (although it is the transition to French New Wave, Fellini's drift away from realism, the rise of the anti-Western make it pretty important) but I think collaborations should be broad articles or stuff like from [[Template:Worldcinema]].

-* I'm glad to see ''Jason and the Argonauts'' mentioned, but I'd like to see more about what was else was happening in the history of animation during the 1960s.  It was a time of great experimentation, especially in the animated short film such as the work from [[Zagreb Film]] and [[Bambi Meets Godzilla]].  There was also great commercial success with Disney's [[Winnie the Pooh]] and MGM's [[Pink Panther]] shorts.  Although most animated features of the time were kiddie fare made on the cheap (at least in comparison to the Disney features of the 1940s-1950s), there were a handful of technically accomplished, smart features like ''The Jungle Book'' and ''Yellow Submarine'' that might be worth mentioning as well.  --[[User:GHcool|GHcool]] 05:51, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

-*This article just got Good Article status and with an expanded Production and Release section, it could be a Featured Article. It's the sequel to a very important film in the history of cinema. It also briefly held the record for top opening weekend gross, top single day gross, and fastest to $100 million. In short, it's a very important film.
