Talk:Fame (1980 film)

Incomplete plot
The plot for this movie is much more intricate than displayed here. Several major characters are not even mentioned in the plot summary. Someone who knows the plot well, please update.

Music by?
IMO this article ought to mention the composer(s) and lyricist(s) of the songs in the musical. If someone has the knowledge, I for one would appreciate an update of this article. Wempain 03:14, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Such information should be (and is) in the article about the musical, Fame (musical). This is about the film and should not be overloaded with details about the musical or the TV shows. Otto4711 05:12, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I meant the film as a musical film. Fame (musical), which I've never heard, seems to be based on this film, but has mostly different songs than the film. Wempain 00:19, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Wrong factual information about 'Fame' high schools - here is the correction
The film follows a group of students through their studies at the New York High School of Performing Arts (which later merged with the High School of Music and Art to become the Fiorello H. La Guardia High School of Music and Art and Performing Arts). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.237.19.52 (talk) 20:11, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Wrong Laura Dean linked
The Laura Dean in the film is not the Laura Dean linked to within the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.120.204.169 (talk) 03:08, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I de-linked her name. (There does not appear to be an article about the actor.) Thanks for the heads-up! Erik (talk &#124; contribs) 14:45, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

disco?
genre -> disco -> ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.40.97.245 (talk) 21:31, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

Soundtrack cover
Let's not have that soudtrack cover in this article. WP:FILMMUSIC: "WikiProject Film consensus is against having cover images in the album infoboxes in the film article". This is a sound and enforceable interpretation of WP:NFCC. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 22:53, 12 February 2017 (UTC)
 * As per your request, (talk ⋅ contribs), I will remove the soundtrack cover from the article. FrankRizzo (talk) 00:39, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

The confusing ownership of the franchise from WB and MGM.
You know, I find it oddly fascinating about the whole Fame franchise. Warner Bros. owns the rights to the 1980 film under Turner Entertainment, yet Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer still has the rights to the rest of the franchise. This is another one of the reasons why Warner Bros. should've considered purchasing MGM instead of merging with Discovery. FlapjackRulez (talk) 00:02, 3 December 2022 (UTC)
 * WP:NOTFORUM Please take casual discussion outside of Wikipedia. There's also the WP:RD if you want to talk about topics in a casual manner. Though I will say that according to WP:RS, Warner only owns the pre-1986 library, so they don't have access to the later films. CartoonnewsCP (talk) 00:00, 4 December 2022 (UTC)
