Featured article?

I hate to say this, but this article doesn't seem like a featured one at all, considering the fact that this page only has 22 references and 7 external links. In fact, this looks more like a C article if you ask me. Now, I've looked at other ones, such as Fight Club (1999) and Halloween (1978), and have noticed these articles are well-written and sourced, i.e. Writing, Casting, Music, Reception etc. Correct me if I'm wrong, but does anyone here have any thoughts about this or am I the only one here? — Arbero 19:22, 31 August 2010 (UTC).

  • As the original author from ages ago I would tend to agree. I would not be surprised if this faced de-listing if nominated at FARC. Staxringold talkcontribs 17:51, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
  • Reviewing the FAC page for the article, there was not a high level of scrutiny at the time. Since then, the FAC process has become more stringent. For example, a recent Featured Article is American Beauty (film), which is tremendously comprehensive. I recommend posting this article for a featured article review. Message me on my talk page if one of you decides to do this. Erik (talk | contribs) 23:03, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
  • Erik's right, that the level of comprehensiveness required has risen since 2006. That said, there's no biased or poor quality content here, it just needs more. There's a few good editors here, would anyone be interested in a collaboration to improve it? --Ktlynch (talk) 15:43, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
  • I can try to help, but a lot of useful information is going to be found in print sources. If you have access to a library, I can research for references to use and list them here. I have access but no travel time to follow up. Erik (talk | contribs) 15:52, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
  • Good work on accumulating references Erik, I hope to be in a research library in the next week and hopefully I'll have time to look at some of them. At least, there's some good sources ready to go. --Ktlynch (talk) 00:51, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

Maybe work in a mention of Cuckoo's Nest?

I couldn't figure out an appropriate way to work it in, but when a much-nominated film loses in several categories, it's useful to the reader to know what competition it was up against. In nearly all categories in which DDA lost, it lost to One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (also losing Film Editing to Jaws and Supporting Actor to gee-I-already-forgot-even-though-I-just-looked-it-up). If someone can write a good sentence about that, it'd be a handy minor addition to the comprensiveness of the article. Lawikitejana (talk) 00:00, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

Penny Allen link leads to incorrect info

Penelope Allen plays the mother of Pacino's son in Scarecrow. She would next appear as the head teller of the bank that Pacino robs in Dog Day Afternoon.

Methinks this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penny_Allen is the wrong Penny Allen johncheverly 16:58, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

I fixed the link. Thanks, Erik (talk | contribs) 17:04, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

Plot too long?

Anything wrong with the current state of the Plot section? The film is complicated when I watched the film several or more years ago. --George Ho (talk) 07:30, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
