Do Familiarize Yourself With Our Rules.
Do Familiarize Yourself With Our Rules.
Our full list of rules is here
r/Movies is about “Movie News and Discussion of Major Motion Pictures.”
As you can see, our front-page is an aggregate for movie news and discussion. We like to keep it that way.

No Antagonism/Flamewars/Trolling - No Racial/Sexist/Dogwhistling/Homophobic Slurs
No Antagonism/Flamewars/Trolling - No Racial/Sexist/Dogwhistling/Homophobic Slurs
Put quotes in quotation marks, we don't know every offensive quote from every movie ever made.
Discuss the subject of the thread, not the users.
Don't incite comments for negative attention. This also applies to any complaints of controversial subjects such as woke/SJW issues. Complaining about virtue signaling or dogwhistling is one thing, but complaining about minorities or women being included in a movie is against the rules.

No Ambiguous/Misleading/Inaccurate Information or Clickbait in The Submission Title
No Ambiguous/Misleading/Inaccurate Information or Clickbait in The Submission Title
Any type of submission that doesn't include the actual subject in the submission title. We really don't like 'click to find out' titles.
For upcoming movie news, we take misinformation seriously. "In development" does not mean a movie is coming out. "In talks" or "in negotiations" does not mean "This person is working on this project."
We want actual news; official announcements, not investigative journalism.
