RfC: Multiple titles of the same name
According to the current guidelines for lists of films indexed alphabetically, "Multiple titles of the same name should be listed where the year the film was released takes place of the title name. The title is listed once followed by a colon." The following is provided as an example: Alive: (1993, 2002 & 2006) Should this format be maintained? — Matthew  - (talk) 22:15, 3 April 2020 (UTC)
 * List each film instead. I feel that the current format for multiple films with the same name wrongly implies a connection (beyond sharing titles) between completely unrelated movies. For example, the 1942 film Cat People and its 1982 remake are listed as follows: "Cat People: (1942 & 1982)". However, the 2009 film Coco and the 2017 film Coco, which are related in name only, are listed in the exact same fashion: "Coco (2009 & 2017)". Rather than listing them like that, I propose that they be listed like this:
 * Cat People (1942)
 * Cat People (1982)
 * Coco (2009)
 * Coco (2017)
 * ...and so on. Such a change would eliminate any confusion that could result from the current format. Additionally, I think the current format's use of "&" may violate MOS:AMP, but I'm not entirely sure about that. — Matthew  - (talk) 22:30, 3 April 2020 (UTC)
 * List each film instead - I agree that each film should be listed separately. Mixing them in one bullet is misleading because it implies that it's one item when in fact they're different items, completely unrelated. — Starforce13  22:41, 3 April 2020 (UTC)
 * List each film instead to be consistent per MOS:LIST. There is no need to "roll up" films with the same title because they are not always connected and because separate listings mean it is easier to eyeball the years. Erik (talk &#124; contrib) (ping me) 22:52, 3 April 2020 (UTC)
 * List each film instead per Starforce and Erik. It's misleading, the linking of the films as their respective years is confusing and there's no need to "summarize" a list like that. El Millo (talk) 22:59, 3 April 2020 (UTC)
