Reposting this one that I submitted in August because it’s the only film I’ve submitted so far and I watch for it to be added every day!!!
The Singing Detective (2003)
Dir: Keith Gordon
You have all of Keith Gordon’s other films except for this which may be his finest.
Also Robert Downy Jr.’s comeback film after recovering from major substance abuse issues.
Famous British screenwriter Dennis Potter always wanted an American feature film length version of his story and wrote the script himself.
Highly underrated.

La Ricotta – Sorry, this film page is not quite ready for public consumption yet. We’ll have it ready for you soon.
Before adding more films to the database, may I please remind the moderators that there are still tons of film pages that are in your words “not quite ready for public consumption yet” and that these still need to be polished? Is someone planning to work on this? And I am pleading in the kindest way that I possibly can, considering that I have submitted La Ricotta a year ago, I believe, and have argued why it should be separate from the omnibus film, Ro.Go.Pa.G., while more priority is given to something like, say, Lady GaGa’s Telephone music video?

Please use this thread to suggest films you want added. Here’s how this works:
Please use our FILM DATABASE SUBMISSION FORM
And on this thread, just post the film, the director and the still(s).
Why?
This way we get to see what you are asking for, the magnificent taste you have in cinema, and more importantly, you get big kudos for bringing the film into The Auteurs in the first place. We also give priority to films that are submitted here and by form.
Other Details:
Write one film at a time that you would like included in the film database.
The film should be released already— festival screening counts in most cases— (so no time-wasting getting your friends’ demo movie up here º ), and have a reference point somewhere else online (IMDB, a review or other article from a reputable source: not just something you wrote in your facebook notes or personal blog).
—people following the guidelines below get priority, because you did things right.
1. The film title, the director’s name. The DP, Cast, Producer, Screenwriter, Composer. Take a look at any film page on here to get an idea of what we need. (Yeah, it’s a lot of tedious work and fact-checking in some cases, eh?)
2. A still. Size (very important): 448 × 252. Saved for web JPEG (less than 50kb). A film poster will NOT do. It must be a still from the film. And not one with subtitles all over it either. It should be of good > high resolution, and not a thumbnail. PNG will also do, but JPEG is better. You can submit a maximum of 3 stills per film.
Please check carefully that the film is not in the database already. Search director name as well as film title.
There’s no set timeline on this, and no one is offering any guarantees about anything, so don’t come back here complaining if it didn’t mysteriously appear in the database overnight. Just know that there is an army of our most passionate users working around the clock to publish these films.
Play nice, and don’t post crap. You can include an impassioned plea into your submission post, arguing for the greatness of a film and why it belongs on here, if you like : )
Thanks.
