			:To add: if you're having trouble making a page or don't know where to start, go to any popular movie page and just copy and paste the wikitext there to use as a template and swap out/edit information to suit your page as needed. Making IMFDB pages is not hard, it can just be time consuming, but I promise it is not difficult.
