Tags for movies with the same name and remakes?

Question

There are several movies that share the same title. Sometimes they are completely different movies and not remakes. How should we tag these?

foo-1950 and foo-2010?

Also, the series title may be the name of an individual movie. For instance, starwars could refer to episode 4, or the entire series. What to do here?

Answer 1

I am still unconvinced that individual movies should be tagged at all, but have been led to believe that little used tags will eventually disappear automatically - so I guess this doesn't matter.

So, to answer your question, the easy part is the year. I would propose following your 'year' convention, which seems pretty simple for example:

ladykillers-1955 and ladykillers-2004

For the question about series, perhaps encourage a series suffix:

jamesbond-series starwars-series
