Film list

 * Films that are apparently not lost, but are not yet uploaded to Commons
 * Lost films (the status of these are subject to change if any of these are ever found)
 * Some films not yet in the public domain, listed here to keep track of them ahead of time as the years go by
 * Films that are works adaptations
 * National Film Registry Listing

Technical issues
We direly need to improve the film transcription process, and how films are presented in the mainspace, etc.
 * Allow a type called "Film" on Index pages
 * Allow the "Forward a page" and "Back a page" (< >) arrows to show up in the Page namespace for "pages" of films
 * Fix "Source: _empty_" on all the Index pages
 * Come up with a good method to link to each individual line to the Index page, as is done with books, on the transcluded pages in the mainspace
 * Clearly mark films in the mainspace as films in the header template, somehow, and in Template:New texts, so as not to confuse some readers into thinking it's a book
 * Force webm player in the Page namespace to skip straight to the time listed on the Index page for that line, on individual pages. And/or, automatically extract them as images, upload each to Commons, and somehow display those images on the respective pages when proofreading. Measures like these will make proofreading and validation easier (see this discussion for example).
