[QUOTE="RoChess, post: 1275554, member: 18896"] I can use that list almost as-is, so yeah, exactly what I am after. Regarding reboot/remake, just let IMDb do the heavy lifting, if you look at the movie-connection page in question: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1029360/movieconnections[/URL] You can see that it says "Remake of:" with the Poltergeist reference, and no indication of "Reboot". So that one is a remake where it is like the identical movie plot, but they will use new actors and like an OLED-TV instead of an old Black-and-white CRT in original movie and other more modern relevant updates such as integrating usage of mobile phones, the internet, etc. Whereas a reboot is when they change the all-male cast of Ghostbusters to an all-female cast of Ghostbusters and it is no longer an epic battle on the top of a skyscraper, but at a movie theater instead with the entire movie different, except for the fact that they are still a crew going after ghosts (the main concept). Otherwise pick one, because unless I've seen both movies, or see IMDb having a conflicting answer I'll use whatever you provide :whistle: Speaking of Poltergeist, not sure about you, but I hate it when they put a sub-title on the sequel of "The Other Side", but then remove that on 3rd one, so in that case I often have a quick peak at the AKA list, which tells me that the working title was "Poltergeist III: We're Back", and in Australia they went with "Poltergeist III: The Final Chapter". Seeing as no other movie is planned, I personally would go with that Aussie suggestion, because it fits nice in the trilogy naming and is an acceptable English title that has been used internationally. Many other movies have used it as their official title, so it makes sense as well as the final movie in a series. If they do come back with a new series, it will obviously become a remake or they will reboot the franchise. Released as v1.9.29 PS: Good thing GitHub editor warned me, or the rename system would have broken for everybody, the '&' is a reserved character, so I had to XML-encode it to & but thankfully I caught the warning :whistle: [/QUOTE]
