Paste's The 50 Best Monster Movies of All Time
Favs/dislikes: 3:0. By Jim Vorel and Paste Movies Staff | September 29, 2022 | 10:27am When you hear the term “monster movie,” you might think you know what to expect. A giant, irradiated bug stomping all over a modern metropolis, perhaps, or an inhuman beast stalking a group of campers foolish enough to blunder into its territory. The connotation of “monster” is a negative one, after all, but it’s also a term that reveals the inherent prejudice of those who use it. A “monster” is simply that which we find exotic, frightening and difficult to categorize—it’s an aberration in the natural order, and with that realization the fear comes naturally. We always fear what we don’t understand, as the likes of H.P. Lovecraft and Carmine Falcone have memorably opined. A “monster movie,” then, is a bit wider term than one might initially realize, composed of everything from man’s battles against the natural world (as in Jaws) to struggles with the repressed self, as seen in almost any werewolf feature. There are beasts aplenty here, and a smattering of snarling aliens, but also lovable monsters and misunderstood creatures that never wanted to do any harm. Some are unabashed villains, while others are actually the protagonists of their films. Here are the 50 best monster movies of all time, but first let’s discuss which movies you will and won’t see on this list. Defining a “Monster Movie” — The threat or focus of a monster movie has to be something inhuman. Human behavior can of course be “monstrous,” but a monster as we’re defining it here isn’t a human, unless that human has physically transformed somehow. By that token, an earthly animal (like the shark in Jaws, or the dinosaurs of Jurassic Park) can be “monsters,” per se, especially if they’re presented in unrealistically heightened ways, such as being bigger than normal, or operating with unnatural malevolence. A human can also transform into a monster, as in the case of a werewolf. — Alien creatures, likewise, are also capable of being monsters, but they’re far more likely to qualify if they kill by physically attacking you with tooth and claw. The xenomorph of Alien? Monster. The ray gun-wielding, chattering martians of Mars Attacks? Not monsters. — The monsters shouldn’t be supernatural in origin. By this token, a ghost is not a monster. Neither is a zombie, as they’re undead and not a flesh-and-blood creature. Disqualifying “undead” in general also keeps vampires off this particular list, but don’t fret: You can visit our list of the [url=https://www.icheckmovies.com/lists/pastes+the+100+best+vampire+movies+of+all+time/fergenaprido/]100 best vampire films[/url] of all time, or the [url=https://www.icheckmovies.com/lists/pastes+50+best+zombie+movies+of+all+time/panunzio/]50 best zombie movies[/url] of all time. — In order to keep the list from being completely dominated by entries from specific franchises such as the Godzilla series, we will hold ourselves to a maximum of only two entries per franchise. Never fear, we’ve ranked every Godzilla movie in the past, as well. -

Pitchfork Media's The Top 50 Music Videos of the 1990s
Favs/dislikes: 3:0. "They were still a young art form when the 1990s began, but by the end of the decade music videos and video directors were arguably at their commercial and artistic peak. In 1999, MTV's "TRL" was launching teen pop stars and serving as a better barometer of what Generation Y was listening to than the Billboard charts. Meanwhile, Spike Jonze-- who almost single-handedly codified a generation's idealized music videos by artfully employing Gen X totems such as irony, 70s nostalgia, geek chic, intertextuality, and trash culture-- was being nominated for a best director Oscar for Being John Malkovich. Throughout the decade, MTV-- with a huge assist from Clear Channel-- glued together a pseudo-music monoculture in the U.S. like almost nothing before. Songs like Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit", Dr. Dre's "Nothing But a G Thang", and Britney Spears' "...Baby One More Time" altered the landscape of pop culture so quickly in large part because they were delivered to all corners of the U.S. simultaneously by MTV. It wasn't just inevitable hits whose influence was quickened by MTV either; oddities such as Folk Implosion's "Natural One" or Danzig's "Mother 93" (or, say, Green Jelly's "Three Little Pigs", to name just one of many execrable examples) became out-of-leftfield hits for almost no other reason than someone at MTV decided they should become Buzz Bin videos. MTV's ability to place a song and musician into the pop music conversation was unparalleled at the time, and by the end of the decade that meant absurd levels of both financial and creative commitment to music videos. Creatively, videos at the time were dominated by a handful of visionary directors-- Jonze, Michel Gondry, and Chris Cunningham-- and there's no getting away from that in our list of our top 50 videos of the 90s."

Pitchfork’s 50 Best Movie Scores of All Time (2019)
Favs/dislikes: 0:0. We’re defining scores as original music composed for a film, with recurring motifs and almost always without vocals. This type of work is often the result of a collaboration between a composer and director, and created in tandem with a movie to steadily enhance the narrative onscreen. Put another way: Whereas a soundtrack highlights moments of a movie, a score blankets the entire film. (We’re only looking at narrative films in this list; we are not including documentaries.) -

Quentin Tarantino’s Top 50 Favorite Sequels
Favs/dislikes: 4:0. As listed in Video Watchdog issue no. 72. Per his personal rules, these are only sequels so anything other than a part II does not count (hence the absence of The Good, The Bad and the Ugly). Some rules are bent: for example Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man is the fifth film in the Frankenstein series, but the second in the Wolf Man series -
