Please add to the list references that can be used for the film article.

This is interesting information about the movie La Jetee and is a welcome addition to the article. I feel this information, regarding the preference of viewers and fans of the movie for the English narrated version of La Jetee etc., best belongs in the 'Trivia' section rather than in the introduction. Let's keep the introduction as a crisp and highly relevant summary of the film. Could someone amend the article accordingly? Thanks. Splashprince 03:08, 4 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The first bullet point states that the dvd is only available in region 2. Two sentences later, it states that the DVD is now available in region 1 (Criterion). Shouldn't both statements simply be removed? Kwyjibear 00:55, 23 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"but in this case idiomatically meaning 'The Terminal,'"
The title could also be referring to the kind of terraces on that were availible on airports before, were one could stand and watch the airplanes land and take off. --Blenda Lovelace 14:32, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

How is this:
When air flight was first introduced, airplanes would taxi up to a concrete walkway build onto the runway that was at the level of the entryway to the plane. As planes changed over time, airports were forced to change to movable walkways and staircases to accommodate ever increasing diversity.
relevant to anything related to this movie? Does the title of the slideshow ah I mean movie mean airplane walkway? Meaning is the translation of "la jetee" believed to refer to a (water) pier or the walkway used to board a plane? And if it is, can we just say that and not get into the history of airplane boarding (especially since this snippet, out of context, is of negligible value)? Too, the end of the last sentence (in the passage above) makes no sense. What exactly is "ever increasing [sic] diversity"? Are we now using politically correct language when referring to changes in commercial-airline boarding policy?
However -- don't bother rewording just that one sentence, because I'm inclined to remove the entire passage unless someone can tell me why anything about airplanes is even in this article.

The present wording, "The Jetty," here referring to an outdoor viewing pier at an airport
appears to resolve this dispute, without any necessity to go into rambling, off-topic material about historical airports, nor original research on how to translate the title loosely. — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼ 04:09, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Please mentioned which scene from Vertigo is referenced in La Jetee. Thanks. Splashprince 04:40, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"The stills were taken with a Pentax 24x36" This is the standard frame size for a 35mm camera, no one calls it a 24x36. BebopBob (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 04:20, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The current version of the page identifies the camera as a Pentax Spotmatic, with a footnote citing a 2004 interview with Antoine Bonfanti. Unfortunately, itseems the Spotmatic wasn't released until 1964 -- two years after La Jetée was released. It have no idea how this could be fixed -- does anyone else?

Via WP:LINKVIO and WP:YOUTUBE, I am removing the link to the complete film hosted on Google Video. The copyright status of the work should be determined before including this link. Since the film was made after 1923, there is reasonable doubt that it is in the public domain. --NilsTycho (talk) 07:17, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The first and last words in titles are always capitalised in both English and French. Is there any reason why this convention is ignored here? The poster indicates a capital J is appropriate. Mdw0 (talk) 04:34, 1 August 2012 (UTC) [reply]

The following was in an HTML comment placed seemingly at random: note the link above also refers to http://www.so-rimlee.com/literature-supernova/2011/5/10/roland-barthes-camera-lucida-excerpts.html
, but the source immediately above this statement does not mention the page at that URL, which URL goes to some random blog anyway, so it's not a reliable source per WP:SPS. I've removed this comment from the article. — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼ 04:01, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I've added some sourced material to this section in response to the "expand section" tag on it, and removed that tag. If others think it still needs to be expanded, add it back if you like, or better yet, expand the section further with reliably sourced material.
An HTML comment under the heading at La Jetée#Interpretation read "could be renamed sth a "Themes" / "Reception" / "Reviews" / "Interpretations" / "Analysis" / ...
. I've removed the comment from the article, as whether to rename and re-scope a section is a talk page matter.
— SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼ 04:01, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The La Jetée#Interpretation section is relying upon an unreliable self-published source, someone's personal film blog, FilmsLie.com. I don't see any evidence that this is a multi-author publication with an editorial board, nor any independent sources suggesting this is a renowned blog by a subject-matter expert. It just some random guy's film-related essays and other writings. So, the extended block quotation from this site should simply be removed. — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼ 04:01, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Hello fellow Wikipedians,

Why is there a random, unexplained reference to an undocumented DJ performance? Seems like scheming for link building/credibility building. I'm going to delete it unless someone has strong feelings. Seems unnecessary: "Kode9 in collaboration with Ms. Haptic, Marcel Weber (aka MFO), and Lucy Benson created an homage to La Jetée in 2011, for the Unsound Festival."
