The Beauty of the Real: What Hollywood Can Learn from Contemporary French Actresses
Favs/dislikes: 6:0. The Beauty of the Real: What Hollywood Can Learn from Contemporary French Actresses is a book by Mick LaSalle, film critic for the San Francisco Chronicle and Hearst Newspapers, that highlights an explosion of female talent in French cinema. Scores of French actresses are doing the best work of their lives in movies tailored to their star images and unique personalities. To spend time with them, to admire their flashing intelligence and fearless willingness to depict life as it is lived, gives us what we're looking for in movies but so rarely find: insights into womanhood, meditations on the dark and light aspect's of life's journey, revelations and explorations that move viewers to reflect on their own lives. The stories they bring to the screen leave us feeling renewed and excited about movies again. This list below is from Appendix Two of LaSalle's book. It includes films that are available in English subtitled editions and are mentioned in his book or his suggestions that did not make the text. -

The Disregarded Movies of Turkish Cinema
Favs/dislikes: 4:0. "In its first years Turkish cinema has found its subjects from plays and novels and began to be affected by the works admired by the world over time. Especially the Turks imitating the West tried to re-produce the successful fantastical and sciencefictional movies achieved to draw attention of the target audience. However because of the lack of techniques and technicians, they are labeled as “bad” movies by the critics when compared to the contemporaries in the world.

The Harris Poll America's Favorite Movie
Favs/dislikes: 1:0. This Harris Poll was conducted online, in English, within the United States between November 12 and 17, 2014 among 2,276 adults (aged 18 and over). Figures for age, sex, race/ethnicity, education, region and household income were weighted where necessary to bring them into line with their actual proportions in the population. Propensity score weighting was also used to adjust for respondents' propensity to be online. All sample surveys and polls, whether or not they use probability sampling, are subject to multiple sources of error which are most often not possible to quantify or estimate, including sampling error, coverage error, error associated with nonresponse, error associated with question wording and response options, and post-survey weighting and adjustments. Therefore, The Harris Poll avoids the words "margin of error" as they are misleading. All that can be calculated are different possible sampling errors with different probabilities for pure, unweighted, random samples with 100% response rates. These are only theoretical because no published polls come close to this ideal. Respondents for this survey were selected from among those who have agreed to participate in Harris Poll surveys. The data have been weighted to reflect the composition of the adult population. Because the sample is based on those who agreed to participate in our panel, no estimates of theoretical sampling error can be calculated. -
The Indian Express 75 Movies That Celebrate The Journey of India
Favs/dislikes: 4:0. a.k.a. Shubhra Gupta’s pick: Across 7 decades, 75 films that celebrate the journey of India. As a celebration of her platinum jubilee, here’s my movie map of India that I’ve drawn through 75 films. If you were to see these movies, reflecting as many themes and genres I have been able to include, you would get an idea of the journey of the nation, as it has lurched and progressed through these decades. Some films draw an unerring bead on intractable societal problems. Some show us just what was considered the acme of entertainment at the time they came out. Some are unabashed mainstream blockbusters. Some are strictly arthouse. And they all tell stories. Most of these films are in Hindi, because that’s the cinema I know best: I have also tried to include iconic films from other languages. Of course, there will be omissions. Please do overlook those, and take me up on the commissions. Here we go: -

The List Magazine's Best Scottish Films
Favs/dislikes: 10:0. List published in 2004. These films (Bill Douglas trilogy counting as one) were put forward for the public to vote on and a list of the five films with the most votes was published. The rest of the list is unranked. "We've given ourselves a broad definition of what makes a film 'Scottish'. A film made in Scotland by Scots, obviously. But also a film made in Scotland by a foreigner. Dane Lars von Trier's Breaking the Waves fits into this category. Our definition is even broad enough to include Braveheart (Australian star and director, American money, even Ireland doubling as Stirling! But a blockbuster about a Scottish folk hero and a film that employed nearly every Scottish actor-except Billy Connolly, apparently). Getting the picture?" -

Time Out's The 100 Best Hong Kong Movies
Favs/dislikes: 3:0. From Bruce Lee kung-fu flicks to Wong Kar-wai’s tales of romance Written by Time Out Hong Kong Saturday 12 March 2022 Hong Kong was once the Hollywood of the East. At its peak, around the early 90s, the local movie industry was the first in the world – in terms of per capita production and the second-largest exporter of films – second only to the US. The influence of Hong Kong cinema can be seen far and wide. Bruce Lee remains a global icon and his martial arts movies are classics. The groundbreaking action of The Matrix would never have come about if not for John Woo films and the action choreography of Yuen Woo-ping. Quentin Tarantino ripped off Ringo Lam’s City on Fire for his debut, 1992’s Reservoir Dogs. Moonlight owes much to the style of Wong Kar-wai films and the auteur was an influence acknowledged by Sofia Coppola when she collected the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay for Lost in Translation. So with such a massive cultural legacy, what are the best Hong Kong movies of all time? We present to you this definitive ranking of the best films made in Hong Kong dating as far back as the 1930s. #19 (A Chinese Odyssey) & #71 (The Blue and the Black) both have two films in each entry. -
