Time Out's The 101 Most Romantic Films
Favs/dislikes: 49:0. Romance may be dead in the real world, but in cinema, it’ll live forever. Love is simply too elemental of an emotion for filmmakers to ever abandon. If you live on earth, you’ve experienced it. Even if you’ve never, say, robbed a bank with your loved one or stood by your sweetheart as they transformed into a hideous monster, the best romantic films make you understand and sympathise with the decisions of those under love’s spell – because one way or another, we’ve all been there. There are so many movies about love in all its complications that ranking the greatest of them is a manor challenge. To help us curate this list, we chatted to more than 100 filmmakers, actors and writers, from The Notebook author Nicholas Sparks to Notting Hill director Richard Curtis to our own Time Out scribes. We even got Miss Piggy to chime in. Whether you prefer comedies or dramas, horror or sci-fi, we’re sure you’ll find the following list of the 101 greatest romantic movies ever speaks to your own heart as well. Written by Cath Clarke, Dave Calhoun, Tom Huddleston, Catherine Bray, Trevor Johnston, Andy P Kryza, Guy Lodge, Phil de Semlyen, Alim Kheraj & Matthew Singer Last Updated: January 18, 2024 [url=https://www.timeout.com/film/the-100-best-romantic-movies]Source[/url] -

Dennis Grunes: A short chronology of world cinema
Favs/dislikes: 52:0. Films listed in Grunes' 2010 book by that title. His selections have a decidedly leftist sociopolitical slant. Notes: 1. For some reason IMDb won't let me add "Diavolo in corpo" (1986), but I managed to add it via ICM at the end. 2. For "September 11" (2002) Grunes specifies the final segment by Shohei Imamura. 3: Not found on IMDb: "Here and perhaps elsewhere" (Houna wa noubbama hunak, 2003) by Lamia Joreiga; "Passages" (2005) by Jon Jost. -

BBC's The 100 Greatest Comedies of All Time
Favs/dislikes: 54:1. So this year BBC Culture decided to get serious about comedy. We asked 253 film critics – 118 women and 135 men – from 52 countries and six continents a simple: “What do you think are the 10 best comedies of all time?” Films from any country made since cinema was invented were eligible, and BBC Culture did nothing to define in advance what a comedy is; we left that to each of the critics to decide. As always, we urged the experts to go with their heart and pick personal favourites, films that are part of their lives, not just the ones that meet some ideal of greatness. List added August 2017 -
