Suggest you add a reference to the movie Volunteers, released 1985. I thought it was a very good movie and captured many things that really did happen in the early 1960s. I have been to Thailand many times. I was born in 1957. I thought the comedy and jokes and references were spot on 96.75.181.34 (talk) 00:14, 21 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not clear what you're asking for, or if it even belongs in this article. There is the article for the film at Volunteers_(1985_film). You can improve it, or you can post suggestions on that article's talk page. RudolfRed (talk) 02:37, 21 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

An avid typewriter user, in 2017 Tom Hanks appeared in the documentary "California Typewriter". Filmcomments16 (talk) 00:16, 18 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. JTP ^{(talk • contribs)} 01:01, 18 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

His "filmmaker" occupation should be changed from "filmmaker" to "director, producer and screenwriter" and in the first sentence of the article too, from "is an American actor and filmmaker" to "is an American actor, director, producer and screenwriter". Because it would be more helpful for readers to understand what else he does for filmmaking in movies instead of just having "filmmaker" as an occupation. 50.78.30.101 (talk) 20:47, 10 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not done. It's just a high-level view, and as such, it's appropriate. For anyone that really cares, that's what the body of the article is for. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 00:23, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
