Sometimes I watch a film on TV, then I see it is listed on this site, but the main cars (3 stars or more) are missing. But I don't have the DVD for this film so I can't get pictures. You can always search for pictures on the internet, but sometimes it's hard to find anything and I don't like adding poor quality images (I only did this when I first came to the site). If it's a really special car, than maybe I'll make an effort to look for a picture. But do people think it's worth adding listings with no picture? Sometimes it isn't nice to see loads of cars listed with no pictures (and no star ratings) when you are looking up a particular model.

IMHO it is worth adding car that is identified AND non-background, even without picture. Or rare background ones.
It is not nice to have lots of cars without picture, but on the other hand it is better to have at least the vehicle name (and eventually some info) rather than no info at all when searing for a movie: it makes the site look more complete.

What I don't like seeing is picture-less cars added with no star ratings, it's very unhelpful.

Most of the time this is remnants of the first version of the site.
Note that there are less than 3% of cars without pictures on the site.

That's good.

I don't mind listing movies without pictures. At least it identifies a movie to capture cars from that might otherwise be missed.

It may also give ideas of movies to watch.
cf Wickey who is watching movies for which a Volvo is listed without pictures

And me with Triumph...

and me with gs

I wouldnt say "because it is better than nothing" having a non.pictured vehicle and nothing is the same but i'd say it is well to add it since when someone rewatches it that person can look for it in the movie as perhaps the last admin who added the movie didnt see it, so the next person in watching the movie will see it and add it, but having the name only without picture and having nothing is quite of the same i dont know in which way it seems more complete

You realize that you made a 4½-line sentence without any dot to cut it?



No: if main vehicles of the movie are listed it may help the one who wanted to know what was the vehicle used by a character.

We often had comments "why is car xyz not listed?" on a movie page, but never "why is car xyz without pictures?".

And if there are pages without picture it also indicates that work has to be done, so if I see a movie with some cars without pictures amongst the car with pictures, I'll rewatch it to complete. Else I will just think that all cars are listed.

No i didnt realise, you got exhausted when reading it i guess

About the second line, huh? i dont understand it, what would i'd like to know what car was used where if i cant see it?

We too have comments about Why is car Xyz without picture, dont tell me not


"And if there are pages without picture it also indicates that work has to be done, so if I see a movie with some cars without pictures amongst the car with pictures, I'll rewatch it to complete. Else I will just think that all cars are listed."

What have i just said?

Something too long to be fully understandable

For what you don't understand, an example:

http://www.imcdb.org/movie.php?id=892518

If someone wants to know which car David Nolande was driving in the series, at least he knows it as I listed the cars (the Oldsmobile is rather uncommon in French series :p)

It was understandable and i dont see whats the point of knowing which car he drives if i cant see it, sometimes it can even be confusing as you wont know which car it is by just looking at its name...

You have a list of Peugeot and an Oldsmobile. So you know that this strange wagon is the Oldsmobile
It is not because you do not see the point that it is not useful.

Well in thisd case you know because the car is american but in most of the cases youi wont know...




You always say to me some kind of sentence like that i dont see why

I mean that you are not the only user of the site:
You do not see the point of this, other do not see the point of chase field for cars, some do not see the point of listing video clips, etc.
Not all things of the site are useful to all people
And anyway there are now less than 3% of cars without image, it cannot harm so much I guess. There are probably more cars with image not worth listing

I am fully in favour of pre listing the cars without an image, it makes a handy 'look for list' list. I cannot see the problem with that...

I agree with Diehard. There are times I'll be watching a show or movie and I'll have my laptop with me...so as I see cars i recognize I'll add them. If I don't, then I'll search through car listings I think it is until I find one that matches. Usually I don't put years, but I'll put Make and Model and star info. I did that for the 3 seasons of Ghost Whisperer. Then I rented Season 1, filled in the spots. Now I have to rent Season 2 and we're almost done with Season 3 so I'll get that once it comes out.

As somebody who has listed movies and other titles without images, I do mind. Considering my persistent inability to make screencaps, I'll settle for them, but it's not the ideal preference. As I type this message, I'm also watching Up the Down Staircase(1967), a movie I'd love to get screencaps from, and I'd also like to add some from Psycho Beach Party(2000), which I plan to watch after this.

In the case of Up the Down Staircase, every vehicle in that movie is a background vehicle, except for one; the GMC "New Look" bus that Sandy Dennis takes to Calvin Coolidge High School. There's also an A&P vending bicycle ridden by some of the kids, but since it's a bicycle it doesn't count.


Maybe I should write lists for these movies anyway.
