Wikipedia:Naming conventions (movies)

Convention: Oftentimes movies share the same name as other movies, books or terms. When disambiguating a movie from something else use (movie) in the title when only one movie had that name and (YEAR movie) in the title when there is more than one movie by that name (example: Titanic (1997 movie)).

Some movie titles describe other things about which we want articles. For example, An American in Paris describes both a Gershwin musical piece and a movie, and Dune is a geological term, a novel, a movie, and a made-for-cable miniseries.

Where a movie or book title is unique or virtually unique, let the title of the article be the same as the title of the movie. But where it's the same as a subject in science, a novel, or whatever, unless the movie title is far and away the most common accepted meaning of the word or phrase, title the movie article like this: Movie Title (movie)[?]. Then, in case of more than one production of the film, add a date or other information, for example Titanic (1953 movie)[?].
