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 Spam & Self-promotion - Same Source Posts

The site-wide definition of spam is when a user has more than 20% of their submissions coming from one source.

If your username is the same as the website or YT channel you're trying to promote - you will be banned and your website blacklisted. Sharing Letterboxd accounts is not allowed either.

No Image Posts & Memes

Memes are not allowed.

Single images or albums of behind the scene of already released movies are prohibited, as are memes, "movies I like/recommend" and infographics.

Make a text post if you want to talk about a specific and link the image in there.

Official first looks and posters ARE allowed if they've not been posted before.

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.

No Extraneous Comic Book Movie Submissions

Anything that isn't official, hard-lined news about comic book movies/Superhero movies will be removed. No featurettes, fan art, parodies, etc.

That means nothing.

Please read the wiki for further information

No Repost or Discussion Threads of New Releases

Light 'em up

This rule also applies if there is an official discussion of the same movie stickied on the front page.

Official discussions will be your go-to place for reviews/reactions/discussion of that movie and applies for 4 weeks after the U.S. release date.

No Spoilers

Intentional or careless spoiling of a plot, true or false, without a spoiler bar (example here) can result in a ban.

OP's question is easily googlable or otherwise over-discussed in /r/movies

We get dozens of questions posted every day and we do try to cut down on reposts and fluff. r/AskReddit is more for general lists of things, but if you have a very specific question, feel free to ask it here.
