Top 50 Business Films
Favs/dislikes: 25:1. Based on many lists made by Business magazines and websites and consulting companies. The films aren't only about business but also films that businessmen, business students, traders and entrepreneurs should watch. Sporadically updated. Bonus: 15 additional films (after so many lists, we can have more interesting films) Methodology: Eligibility: Lists with 10 to 30 entries. Not eligible: too specific lists such as "available on Netflix", documentaries only, "best of the decade", etc. and lists made by users in imdb, mubi, icm, etc Distribution of points: For ranked lists: #1: 20 points #2: 18 points and so on until #10: 2 points #11 or lower: 1 point Not ranked lists: points are splitted equally. For instance: lists with 15 entries: 20+18+...+2+1+1+1+1+1=115 / 15 = 7.67 => 8 points for each film. Tied films split the points Bonus for each additional entry: 2 points Tie-brake rules: #1: Total of points #2: Number of entries #3: Year of release #4: Alphabetical order About this list: Lists used: 198 Nominated films: 532 My Top 10 (based on nominated films) (in alphabetical order) Casino (1995) Citizen Kane (1941) Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room (2005) Godfather, Part I, The (1972) Goodfellas (1990) Hyènes (1992) Inside Job (2010) Modern Times (1936) There Will Be Blood (2007) Wolf of Wall Street, The (2013) Others lists with the same methodology: Top 50 Rock'n Roll Films https://www.icheckmovies.com/lists/top+50+rockn+roll+films/baalman/ Top 50 Car Movies https://www.icheckmovies.com/lists/top+50+car+movies/baalman/ Top 50 Films About Films https://www.icheckmovies.com/lists/top+50+films+about+films/baalman/ Top 50 Films About Arts and Artists https://www.icheckmovies.com/lists/top+50+films+about+art+and+artists/baalman/ Top 50 Dystopian Films https://www.icheckmovies.com/lists/top+50+dystopian+films/baalman/ Top 50 Films About Politics https://www.icheckmovies.com/lists/top+50+films+about+politics/baalman/ Top 50 Plot Twist Films https://www.icheckmovies.com/lists/top+50+plot+twist+films/baalman/ Top 50 Surrealistic Films http://www.icheckmovies.com/lists/top+50+surrealistic+films/baalman/ Top 50 Disturbing Films https://www.icheckmovies.com/lists/top+50+disturbing+films/baalman/ Top 50 Films About Media https://www.icheckmovies.com/lists/top+50+films+about+media/baalman/ Top 50 Films About Law https://www.icheckmovies.com/lists/top+50+films+about+law/baalman/ Top 50 Films About Writers and Writing https://www.icheckmovies.com/lists/top+50+films+about+writers+and+writing/baalman/ Top 50 Films About Conspiracy (Theories) https://www.icheckmovies.com/lists/top+50+films+about+conspiracy+theories/baalman/ Top 50 Films About Mental Illness http://www.icheckmovies.com/lists/top+50+films+about+mental+illness/baalman/ Top 50 Films About Serial Killers https://www.icheckmovies.com/lists/top+50+films+about+serial+killers/baalman/ Top 50 Pandemic Movies https://www.icheckmovies.com/lists/top+50+pandemic+movies/baalman/ Top 50 Films about Drugs https://www.icheckmovies.com/lists/top+50+films+about+drugs/baalman/ -

Total Sci-Fi's The 100 Greatest Sci-Fi Movies
Favs/dislikes: 301:4. This list is the result of heated debate/scuffles between the frazzled writers of Total Sci-Fi. In addition to settling on the titles themselves, they also had to set the limits of what counts as a 'sci-fi film': they decided that superhero movies were out as that's a distinct genre all of its own, but comedies like Sleeper and Galaxy Quest possess enough genuine science fiction concepts to warrant inclusion, leading to this list of the 100 best Sci-Fi movies of all-time. -

IndieWire's The 65 Best Movie Musicals of All Time, Ranked
Favs/dislikes: 3:0. From "In The Heights" and "Moulin Rouge!" to "Funny Face" and "West Side Story," these titles show the height and incredible range of the genre. BY WILSON CHAPMAN MARCH 19, 2024 8:00 PM The musical sometimes feels like a relic of a long-dead Hollywood studio system, but it remains a genre that captures movies’ ability to create story worlds that move freely between reality and fantasy. The worst examples come from filmmakers who give license to music, color, and movement to run amok; the best transcend artifice and integrate songs that become expressions of pure character emotion. Musicals offer endless possibilities, but success demands a complete mastery of the medium. The best movie musicals of all time have faced obstacles as varied as their creators’ styles and tastes. That’s in part because its integration of at least two art forms — music and film always, but sometimes also dance — demands an unusually high-caliber of multi-faceted talent from those attempting its complexities. After Lee De Forest invented the “talky,” the opportunity oozing from that new tech prompted an industry rush on musicals in the last days of the 1920s. That went over well with audiences at first. But by the end of the ‘30s, movie musicals were a dime-a-dozen, leaving people fatigued and rapidly turning music into the Marvel debate of mid-century cinema. Who needed another film with “Broadway Melody” or “Big Broadcast” in the title? Of course, historic hits throughout the ‘40s, ’50s, and ‘60s, including “Meet Me in St. Louis” and “Singin’ In The Rain,” meant Hollywood’s best movie musicals were still to come — with story and emotion put first. The genre saw another decline in popularity later in the 20th century when action flicks reigned supreme. But such is the ebb and flow of the genre, which has been (incorrectly) declared dead more than once. Even now, with the success of Steven Spielberg’s jaw-dropping “West Side Story” and more musicals (see Baz Luhrmann’s “Elvis” from 2022 or the zany “Dicks” from last year), movie musicals are offering yet another encore to audiences hungry for their lively energy. Sure, few current stars could learn the choreography of Busby Berkeley, Jerome Robbins, or Bob Fosse, and adapting a medium developed and most suited for the stage requires innovative direction. But the skills of contemporary movie musical champions, like Spielberg and Lin-Manuel Miranda, and the promise of Disney-backed animated musicals tell us the curtain will never close on this movie moment. From “A Star Is Born” and “Swing Time” to “Chicago” and “West Side Story,” here are 65 musicals that represent the height and the incredible range of the genre. Alison Foreman, Christian Zilko, David Ehrlich, Kate Erbland, Proma Khosla, Eric Kohn, Anne Thompson, Ryan Lattanzio, Jude Dry, Kristen Lopez, Jenna Marotta, Jamie Righetti, Michael Nordine, Siddhant Adlakha, Christian Blauvelt, and Noel Murray contributed to this list.

10 Great Movies That Are Made from Dumb Premises
Favs/dislikes: 1:0. This past weekend, The Emoji Movie opened in theaters to rave reviews. And by rave reviews, we mean alarmingly negative reviews from stark raving mad critics. With a surprisingly generous 6% on Rotten Tomatoes, The Emoji Movie is perhaps the most universally hated movie in recent memory. It is certainly the most critically hated film to come out this year so far. The sad part is that despite its wacky and dumb premise, it actually had some potential. Look, before you say anything and start shaking your head, think about it for a second. Despite what popular belief may think, every single movie in the metaphysical cinematic stratosphere within this world has potential to be a great one. Yes, we all groaned in heavy unison the moment that The Emoji Movie was announced and it turns out we were all in the right to write this movie off immediately. However, that is not so easily the case with every movie riddled with a stupid synopsis. There are several movies out there which have been released over the years that opened up to low expectations because their plot sounded bad, but managed to exceed expectations because the execution of those films were so well done. No matter how bad a movie may sound on paper, it is bound to make for a good film if it has an exceptional cast and crew working behind it. There are numerous examples of such films that fit this criteria throughout movie history, but for the sake of time and convenience, we are going to stick to talking about 10 just for this list. Without further ado, here are 10 dumb movie premises that surprisingly made for great movies. -
Paste's The 100 Best Anime Movies of All Time
Favs/dislikes: 108:2. Establishing the best anime movies can be tricky. After all, despite now being one of the most ubiquitous cultural properties of the 21st century, anime, thanks to over a century’s worth of the medium’s evolution and reinvention, is especially difficult to define. From the five-minute shorts of Oten Shimokawa in 1917, to the feature-length animations produced during World War II, to the pioneering production cycles of Tezuka in the ’60s and the auteurist innovations of the likes of Miyazaki and many others towards the latter half of the last century, anime has morphed through countless phases. Amateur efforts, nationalist propaganda fodder, niche cultural export turned eventual global phenomenon: Each iteration conforms to the shape of the times in which it was produced. Television expanded the medium during the 1960s, birthing many of the essential genres and subgenres that we know today and forming the impetus for the anime industry’s inextricable relationship to advertising and merchandising from the 1970s onward. The arrival of home video catapulted anime to its commercial and aesthetic apex, fanning outward from island nation of Nippon to the far shores of North America and back, before again being revolutionized by the unprecedented accessibility of the world wide web throughout the ’90s and early aughts. Anime film owes much to the evolving means of production and distribution throughout the late 20th century, the breadth and audacity of the medium’s content widening and contracting along with its running time to cater to the emerging palettes of audiences both new and old, at home and abroad. But where does one begin to tackle the aesthetic and historical precedent that anime film has left on pop culture and global entertainment in the last century? This list is an attempt to do just that: to create a primer of 100 of the most influential and essential films that Japanese animation has produced, and to offer a thorough aesthetic, technical and historical breakdown of why these film matter. With that aim in mind, Paste is proud to enlist the curatorial talents of Jason DeMarco, on-air creative director of Adult Swim and co-creator of Toonami, whose unique role in anime’s emerging popularity in the West has helped to hone this list. Given the shared evolution between anime film and television and the aforementioned significance of the home video revolution, this list includes not only traditional features but also original video animations made for home video (OVAs) and anthology films— with the stipulation of each entry having at some point premiered in theaters. It is our hope that in creating this list we have created an entry point for both the expert and the layperson to trace the rich history of anime’s legacy on both film and popular culture, and to offer newcomers a comprehensive guide through to learn, rediscover, and explore the fullness that the genre of Japanese animation has to offer now and into the future.
