Do I need to include a *spoiler* tag for a discussion of Gone With the Wind (1939)? Or Iron Man (2008)? Or Frozen (2013 -- only been out eight weeks)?

I'd hate to have to put *spoiler* tags on every discussion of a film's plot. At some point, you have to assume that people actually know what Rosebud refers to!

Regarding spoilers... Locut0s Jan 2014 #1

I think a "possible spoilers" warning would be fine. cyberswede Jan 2014 #7

Ok I've edited the OP to place a 5 year window on films. Locut0s Jan 2014 #10

Five years sounds like a good limit to me. Staph Jan 2014 #11
