Why not use "Sentence case".

Quote:
In most newspapers in the U.S. (and in virtually all publications in the U.K.), sentence case (also known as down style) is the standard form for headlines.

Sentense case

This is the standard form for titles and headlines in most countries. The rule will be simple and easy to understand and it will be consistent for most languages.

But we're dealing with Titles here, so Title Case seems like a better fit.

Why do I care?  Because when I purchase a new DVD or blu-ray, and add it to my collection, I am hoping that the downloaded information will be correct, and I won't have to take the time to have to "fix it" to the correct title.

"Correct" is whatever the rules say is correct.  If it's been entered according to the rules it is correct.

I would like to give a Motion of no confidence, pertaining to contribution rules committee, and to scotthm. I think you should remove yourself from the discussions on rules immediately.

If it was my program. I would first invite people who contribute on a regular basis, and have a first hand experience of using the vague, outdated rules. Forum trolls and the occasional contributor would not be seated in the committee. No volunteers, they usually have a personal agenda.  Once the committee has finished with their draft of the rules, I would have another committee go over that draft and then send it back to the first for revisions. Then make it public for input.

Fine, but then I would have less experienced contributors on your second committee, since very experienced contributors are not always able to empathize with novices. The rules should be clear to everyone, not just to those who practically know them by heart anyway.

and who asks the most questions now - the new contributors.

Which proves my point.

The very first sentence in the rules, pertaining to Titles, is "Use the title from the front cover." Capitalization rules do not alter that fact.

Changes that apply the capitalization rules, while ignoring the basic Title rule, are incorrect and should be declined.

I'm not sure exactly what you are saying here.

The "first rule","Use the title from the front cover", is there to prevent people from using the title from the film's credits, the spine, the credit block, IMDB or any other source. It has nothing to do with capitalization, which is spelled out further down in the section.
