Funny Games (2008 film) → Funny Games (2007 film) —

Funny Games (2008 film) → Funny Games (2007 film) — Film premiered in 2007, not 2008 — BOVINEBOY2008 21:08, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
That was only at a film festival, the actual release of the movie wasn't until 2008 (which is what is usually used). At the very least this needs a discussion. TJ Spyke 23:44, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as is per WP:FILMCAT, which states "by year - this should be the first year released to a general audience." Lugnuts (talk) 05:52, 7 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films). "When disambiguating films of the same name, add the year of its first public release (this excludes film festival screenings)." - kollision (talk) 15:53, 7 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Plot summary

Needs to be fuller. Is anyone able to oblige? --Legis (talk - contribs) 01:36, 26 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've just reverted an edit from a user who keeps removing it, but doesn't state why. Lugnuts (talk) 08:16, 26 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I notice that this plot summary is almost exactly word for word the same as the plot summary of the older Australian version of this film. Is that ok? Dylan (talk) 00:29, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As they're in essence the same film, except for language, then yes. Lugnuts (talk) 07:28, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I was just not sure regarding Wikipedias plagiarism policy. Thanks Dylan (talk) 15:20, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Austrian, not Australian. I can't help but think some explanation of interpretation of this film may be helpful as it was so badly misunderstood. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.254.51.170 (talk) 08:18, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move

The request to rename this article to Funny Games (2007 film) has been carried out.

If the page title has consensus, be sure to close this discussion using {{subst:RM top|'''page moved'''.}} and {{subst:RM bottom}} and remove the {{Requested move/dated|…}} tag, or replace it with the {{subst:Requested move/end|…}} tag.

Funny Games (2008 film) → Funny Games (2007 film) – This request was first raised in 2009 (see above), however the policies at the time pointed towards the 2008 disambig, as this was the year of its first public release. However, since then consensus changed and the guidelines for naming conventions (films) and film release dates were brought into line, as the conflicted each other. Now the guidance states "first verifible release, including festivals". This change is now replicated in the category guidance. As this film first screened in 2007, the current title is incorrect.
