imdb_id Insert the Internet Movie Database's identification number for the film.

Changes from the Wikipedia template

  • language links directly to a category, not to an article.
  • Removed amg_id links - one of a zillion possibilities; irrelevant.
  • Removed distributor - this will go inline on the articles.
  • released replaced with year (eases categorization).
  • year, country, and runtime moved to subheader.
  • body_count added, for our unique needs.
