I feel that this entry is notable because the Butt-Numb-A-Thon was the first public screening anywhere for The Passion Of The Christ.
This is an event that people are invited to. How is that public?
BNAT entries are open to the public although admittedly the event is "velvet rope". However, Harry makes a point of rotating in a number of attendees who have never been to BNAT. Johnny Rollerfeet 21:45, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
The list of movies provides information to the reader regarding the history of the event. Since almost all of the movies referenced are notable (especially those that have not been released before) it makes perfect sense to have them in a list. See Wikipedia:Lists for the policy on lists. I am very aware of WP:INFO and it simply does not apply here. Putting each notable movie into prose would needlessly extend the article. --Nick Catalano contrib talk 08:02, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
I have added an additional paragraph that is intended to clarify that the heart and soul of BNAT is not the special screenings and celebrity appearances. While many of those have been fun highlights, the exploration of all eras of film and the at-times-grueling nature of the 24 hour experience are pivotal to describing the event.

I have made a separate main article titled List of films shown at Butt-Numb-A-Thon and included a link in a new "Films" section on this article. I believe this is an acceptable compromise to the issues listed above. Bobomejor (talk) 07:32, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
So what kind of citation do you provide if you are an actual witness/participant? I was personally shocked repeatedly by the electric flyswatter at BNAT 1 because I kept dozing off and was sitting directly in front of the host, but there is no photo of that, nor was it ever published anywhere. It hardly counts as "news". We DO have a photo of the host holding an electric flyswatter in front of the theater beforehand. Does that count? 96.47.146.114 (talk) 05:37, 18 January 2013 (UTC)Ed Kelly
