Les misérables (1934) is feature film, not a TV show

@Michelle​ 

Traditionally, film serials are listed as feature films. This of course should have been mentioned in guidelines.

There is some discussion of them here:

https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/data-issues-policy-discussions/add-episodes-for-vintage-movie-serials/5f4a79828815453dba7fa925

There are lots of them, some of them found here:

https://www.imdb.com/search/keyword/?keywords=serial&ref_=kw_ref_typ&sort=moviemeter,asc&mode=detail&page=1&title_type=movie

From IMDb's old glossary:

Serial

A multipart film that usually screened a chapter each week at a cinema. The story structure usually has each chapter ending with a cliffhanger to ensure the audience would like to watch following chapter at its release. Contrast with series.

On the web: List of serials at the IMDb.

Hi @Peter_pbn​ -

This is very interesting, thanks for linking the older Idea thread as well.  I wasn't aware of "serials" (guess I need to brush up on my gilded age cinema!); also, seeing the old terminology Glossary makes me nostalgic. 

It seems any guideline reference to "serials" is missing from our Help Guides, I have filed a request to include this information.  I will confirm here once any guideline updates have been made live.

Cheers!

@Michelle​ Welcome back to the forum!

@Michelle​ Welcome back! And thanks for requesting to add information about how to deal with serials in the guide.

I hope IMDb will think about whether or not a new title type is needed for them, as well as perhaps even a new genre. (and yes, I know that strictly speaking, serial is not a genre, just like Short isn't :) )
