How do I get "#" round dates in an "Insert into " query

Question

I am trying to use the "Insert Into" type "CFQUERY" and insert a date into a field.This date has been input by the user on a web form using the syntax "<input type="text" name="DateInTheatres"...>
The query is
<CFQuery datasource="blah">
Insert into Films(<other fields>,DateInTheatres)
values(<other fields>,#CreateODBCDate(Form.DateInTheatres)#)
</CFQuery>
The above code does not seem to work because the "#" are not automatically put to the left & right of the date so when the sql resolves you get 12/10/2009 (for example) no quotes, nothing.
How can I fix this?
many thanks

Try something like this:
<cfquery name="someName" datasource="someDatasource">
INSERT INTO Films
(SomeField, DateInTheatres)
VALUES
<cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar" value="#FORM.SomeField#">,
<cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_date" value="#FORM.DateInTheatres#">
</cfquery>
