Too big?

edit

I think that even removing the bullets and years, or just having the years with links to the films, would still be too big. Maybe something like template:succession box?, tho I'm not sure if there really is a need to connect them. -- Jeandré, 2006-03-03t20:43z

I didn't like that the new version increased the size while decreasing the font. It has a lot of blank space. My version incorporates the idea of listing them by decades but compacts that into the space efficient older version. The disclaimer is a lot better than listing heiphenated dates. If someone wants to change the wording of it that would be fine by me. savidan(talk) (e@) 19:42, 18 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

Two winners?

edit

Why are Wings and Sunrise both listed for the same year? It is not explained on this template (obviously), and not in either article. Goodtimber (walk/talk) 04:52, 15 September 2008 (UTC)Reply
