Men's Health's The 45 Best Teen Movies of All Time
Favs/dislikes: 2:0. BY TEMI ADEBOWALE, EVAN ROMANO AND ADRIANNA FREEDMAN SEP 25, 2020 Teen movies are great because while the category can definitely stand on its own, teen movies can also easily fall into other genres—horror, comedy, romance, drama—and the best teen movies combine elements of several genres. There's also something about watching a coming of age film that is all too relatable, from the social insecurity to the butting of heads with parents who just don't understand. In 2019, TV psychologist Honey Langcaster-James talked to Refinery 29 about the allure of teen movies: "One of the things that we do with entertainment is we gain mastery over potentially difficult emotions. Some people wonder why anybody would ever want to watch a horror movie or a thriller. Why would you want to sit and be scared? But there is an element of reassurance in being able to experience those emotions from a removed perspective and I wonder if the same can be said for teen fiction. Through the processes of empathy with the character, you're experiencing those emotions that were challenging. But now, from this more mature perspective, you're gaining an opportunity to master those emotions that you once felt so consumed by and now can have a more detached and bemused look upon that time in your life." To celebrate the genre, three of our editors came together make a list of our favorite teen films. This list can't cover every single teen movie, but we hope it contains some of your favorites, as well as some new picks for you to check out. So without further ado, here are the 45 best teen films of all time. -

Messianic Archetypes in Movies
Favs/dislikes: 2:0. The Messianic Archetype is a character whose role in the story echoes that of Christ. They are portrayed as a savior, whether the thing they are saving is a person, a lot of people or the whole of humanity. They endure a sizable sacrifice as the means of bringing that salvation about for others, a fate they do not deserve up to and including death or a Fate Worse than Death. Other elements may be mixed and matched as required but the Messianic Archetype will include one or more of the following: being the Chosen One, gaining a group of devoted followers, being betrayed by one of these followers, persecution by nonbelievers, parallels to the Passion Play, obvious Crucified Hero Shot, a figurative or literal resurrection, and even a Second Coming. Bonus points if the character has the initials JC. [url]http://tvtropes.org[/url] Checklist: 01. Odd, unexpected and obscure birth or otherwise strange origin and arrival 02. Central protagonist and/or object of concern within the narrative 03. Outsider 04. Sent by deliberate outside intervention 05. Alter ego or dual identity (one mundane and the other fantastic) 06.

Metacritic Best of 2017: Film Critic Top Ten Lists
Favs/dislikes: 2:0. Metacritic's running tally of the films most frequently mentioned by individual critics on the year-end Top Ten lists. "Note that if a critic ranks more than the standard 10 films, we will not include films ranked 11th or worse. (We do include unranked lists of 11-20 titles, though each film gets just one-half of a point.) In case of a tie for first or second, each film will receive the full points for that position. Our points system works as follows: 3 points for each 1st place ranking 2 points for each 2nd place ranking 1 point for being ranked 3rd - 10th, or for being included on an unranked list of 10 or fewer titles 0.5 points for being included on an unranked list of 11-20 titles" -

Metro Weekly's 13 Camp Films Everyone Should See
Favs/dislikes: 2:0. From Hollywood's golden age to John Waters's trash cinema, the camp films that define a genre By Sean Bugg, Will O'Bryan and Doug Rule February 22, 2012 Camp, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. For some, a camp movie is the unintentional hilarity of an earnest story gone wildly awry. For others, the best camp movies are those in which the camp is intentionally baked in from the beginning. We all know that a camp movie by definition is filled with quotable lines, like Divine’s ”I told you cha cha heels! Black ones!” But a movie with memorable quotes isn’t necessarily camp, like Steel Magnolias‘ ”Drink your juice, Shelby.” It’s just all so confusing. So when we set out to pick our favorite camp movies, we focused on the movies that we’ve watched over and over until they’ve become part of our queer pop-culture DNA. They’re the movies we watch with old friends and the movies we introduce to new friends. They’re the movies that over decades have become the shared cultural touchstones for everything gay. And, frankly, they’re simply and supremely silly, even if they’re trying not to be. These aren’t the movies that won Academy Awards (with one notable exception). They’re the movies that gave us an attitude. -
Metro Weekly's 15 Black LGBTQ Films Everyone Should See
Favs/dislikes: 2:0. From "Bessie" to "Young Soul Rebels" these movies showcase the best of black gay cinema By André Hereford, Chris Heller, Rhuaridh Marr, Will O'Bryan, Doug Rule and Randy Shulman February 23, 2017 Every culture is comprised of subcultures. They are essential veins to a greater artery. And there is, arguably, no more profoundly resonant subculture within the LGBTQ movement than the African-American community. It’s been such a fertile territory for filmmakers that when deciding on a sixth installment for our “LGBTQ Films Everyone Should See” series, it stood out as a no brainer. Of course, it helps that the low-budget Moonlight has become a launching pad of sorts, renewing a rapture for honest black cinema in a way that alluded such recent high profile entries like Nate Parker’s Birth of a Nation. Moonlight came in, stealth-like, and stole every bit of the thunder. Deservedly so. The Oscar-nominated, Golden Globe-winning masterpiece sets a new bar for black gay cinema, if not all independent film. Poetic and resonant, it deploys a magnificently complex, ethereal narrative structure, offering the world a moviegoing experience that eschews Hollywood’s typical cookie cutter aesthetic for one daring, brave, and emotionally, intellectually powerful. It’s the standard from which all LGBTQ cinema will be compared moving forward. And like the the finest LGBTQ films — Beautiful Thing, Boys Don’t Cry, Brokeback Mountain — it remains true to itself, true to its heart. And that truth is what sticks with you long after the movie has ended. Each of the 15 films selected for our list are just as true, making every single one of them — no matter who you are, no matter what your cultural assignation, no matter your sexual orientation — essential viewing. They inform, they entertain, they enlighten, they stir our collective souls. Most importantly, they leave us with a far better understanding of our LGBTQ culture, as well as the subcultures within, subcultures that provide real muscle to our mass. In alphabetical order: -

mjf314's Introduction to Asian Cinema
Favs/dislikes: 2:0. My attempt at creating an introduction to Asian cinema. I included a variety of genres, and a mixture of arthouse and mainstream films, with a limit of 1 film per director. 25 countries are represented. The list is in chronological order. I used several lists to help me make this list, but I didn't use any exact formula, so some of the choices are arbitrary.
