  1. Ingmar Bergman filmography's icon

    Ingmar Bergman filmography

    Favs/dislikes: 280:7. Films directed by Ingmar Bergman. Without TV movies, shorts and documentaries.
  2. TSPDT's 100 Essential Noir Films's icon

    TSPDT's 100 Essential Noir Films

    Favs/dislikes: 275:3. To kick things off on their list of 1000 Essential noirs, TSPDT offered up the first 100 of the 1,000 films. These 100 films have been identified, according to their research, as the most mentioned/cited noir films of all-time. Call them the 100 most essential or quintessential, or whatever you like. They are, simply put, the 100 films that most often show up on film noir lists, in film noir festivals, and/or in film noir publications. We at Icheckmovies have made these most essential noirs a separate list which you can find here. The rest of the list can be found here [url=https://www.icheckmovies.com/lists/tspdt+1000+noir+films/]TSPDT 1000 Noir Films[/url] [url=http://www.theyshootpictures.com/noir1000.htm]Source[/url]

    Akira Kurosawa Filmography

    Favs/dislikes: 272:7. The full list of the 33 films directed by Akira Kurosawa.
  4. IMDb's Fantasy Top 50's icon

    IMDb's Fantasy Top 50

    Favs/dislikes: 272:8. Fantasy films, usually considered a sub-genre, are most likely to overlap with the film genres of science fiction and horror, although they are distinct. Fantasies take the audience to netherworld places (or another dimension) where events are unlikely to occur in real life - they transcend the bounds of human possibility and physical laws. They often have an element of magic, myth, wonder, and the extraordinary.
  5. Empire's The 100 Best Films of World Cinema's icon

    Empire's The 100 Best Films of World Cinema

    Favs/dislikes: 271:2. A list of the best films not in the English language, according to Empire magazine. Documentaries were excluded. [url=https://www.empireonline.com/movies/features/100-greatest-world-cinema-films/]Source[/url]
  6. Cahiers du Cinéma's Annual Top 10 Lists's icon

    Cahiers du Cinéma's Annual Top 10 Lists

    Favs/dislikes: 264:5. Cahiers du cinéma is an influential French film magazine founded in 1951. The magazine has picked its top ten films of the year, most years. Top ten films were not picked in the years 1952-1954, 1969-1980, and in the year 2003. Rankings can be viewed in my source list URL, or via the link provided in the comments section. In some cases, films tie for a certain spot in the yearly top 10; for example, 2012's #4 spot is tied between three films (consequently, there is no #5 or #6). Some directors definitely appear to be heavily preferred by those responsible for selecting the list. This list does not include the special "best of 1990s" and "best of 2000s" decade lists, though most of those twenty films are included here. (The exceptions are David Lynch's TV show Twin Peaks on the 1990s list, and Gus Van Sant's Elephant, Abdellatif Kechiche's The Secret of the Grain, and Steven Spielberg's War of the Worlds on the 2000s decade list.) Other anomalies: The TV show "24" tied for the #10 spot in 2002, along with Gus Van Sant's Gerry. Gerry also tied for #6 on the 2004 list. A TV episode "Travolta et moi" (dir. Patricia Mazuy) from the show "Tous les garçons et les filles de leur âge..." was selected as #6 in 1994. Claire Denis' episode "US Go Home" from the same series rated #9 in 1994. Raul Ruiz's Les trois couronnes du matelot (Three Crowns of the Sailor) tied for #7 in 1983 and tied for #8 in 1982. 1968's #4 spot for Histoires extraordinaires is specifically for Federico Fellini's segment "Toby Damnit." 1965's #4 spot for Paris vu par... is specifically for the Jean Rouch episode. 1959's #3 spot was claimed by Eisenstein's Ivan the Terrible. Since Part II was released in 1958, it is possible that the award was for Part II, but since my sources didn't specify a part and both parts may have been shown together, I have included Parts I & II in the list. Love it or hate it, here it is... [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cahiers_du_cin%C3%A9ma%27s_Annual_Top_10_Lists]Source[/url]
  7. IMDb's Thriller Top 50's icon

    IMDb's Thriller Top 50

    Favs/dislikes: 260:8. Thrillers are often hybrids with other genres - there are action-thrillers, western-thrillers, film-noir thrillers, even romantic comedy-thrillers. Another closely-related genre is the horror film genre. Thriller and suspense films are virtually synonymous and interchangeable categorizations. They are types of films known to promote intense excitement, suspense, a high level of anticipation, ultra-heightened expectation, uncertainty, anxiety, and nerve-wracking tension. The acclaimed Master of Suspense is Alfred Hitchcock. Spy films may be considered a type of thriller/suspense film.
  8. IMDb's Action Top 50's icon

    IMDb's Action Top 50

    Favs/dislikes: 258:9. Action films usually include high energy, big-budget physical stunts and chases, possibly with rescues, battles, fights, escapes, destructive crises, non-stop motion, spectacular rhythm and pacing, and adventurous, often two-dimensional 'good-guy' heroes battling 'bad guys' - all designed for pure audience escapism. Includes the James Bond 'fantasy' spy/espionage series, martial arts films, and so-called 'blaxploitation' films. A major sub-genre is the disaster film.
  9. Jonathan Rosenbaum's Essential Cinema's icon

    Jonathan Rosenbaum's Essential Cinema

    Favs/dislikes: 256:12. This list contains the favorite movies of movie critic Jonathan Rosenbaum who writes for the Chicago Reader. The movies span virtually every decade, and include many an obscure movie. #1 - #1012: original list #1013 - #1073: 2008 additions #1074 - #1133: 2016 additions [url=https://www.amazon.com/Essential-Cinema-Necessity-Film-Canons/dp/0801889715]Source[/url]
  10. Billy Wilder filmography's icon

    Billy Wilder filmography

    Favs/dislikes: 251:5. Billy Wilder (22 June 1906 – 27 March 2002) was an Austro-Hungarian born American filmmaker, screenwriter, producer, artist, and journalist, whose career spanned more than 50 years and 60 films. He is regarded as one of the most brilliant and versatile filmmakers of Hollywood's golden age. Wilder is one of only five people who have won Academy Awards as producer, director, and writer for the same film (The Apartment).
  11. A Personal Journey with Martin Scorsese's icon

    A Personal Journey with Martin Scorsese

    Favs/dislikes: 250:3. "From one of the world's most acclaimed directors comes an absorbing and informative look at the evolution of American film and how the medium both shaped Scorsese's own artistic vision and influenced the whole of American culture. Hundreds of film stills, many in color, plus dialogue, quotations, and other sources add to and illustrate each chapter's overriding theme." List is of all works with cited clips, in order of first appearance. Part 1: 1-40 Part 2: 41-74 Part 3: 75-99 [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Personal_Journey_with_Martin_Scorsese_Through_American_Movies]Source[/url][Source is the film itself, the wikipedia page includes some films mentioned only in passing]
  12. IMDb's Drama Top 50's icon

    IMDb's Drama Top 50

    Favs/dislikes: 248:7. Dramas are serious, plot-driven presentations, portraying realistic characters, settings, life situations, and stories involving intense character development and interaction. Usually, they are not focused on special-effects, comedy, or action, Dramatic films are probably the largest film genre, with many subsets. See also the melodramas, epics (historical dramas), or romantic genres. Dramatic biographical films (or "biopics") are a major sub-genre, as are 'adult' films (with mature subject content).
  13. Cahiers du Cinéma's 100 Films for an Ideal Cinematheque's icon

    Cahiers du Cinéma's 100 Films for an Ideal Cinematheque

    Favs/dislikes: 247:1. The top 100 most essential films of 78 French film directors, critics and industry executives. The list was compiled for and published in the French Cahiers du cinéma film magazine. [url=https://www.cahiersducinema.com/produit/100-films/]Source[/url]
  14. The Guardian's 1000 Films to See Before You Die's icon

    The Guardian's 1000 Films to See Before You Die

    Favs/dislikes: 247:4. "Well over a century has passed since the Lumière brothers frightened the life out of Parisians with The Arrival of a Train at a Station, and well over a million titles have since been recorded - if the Internet Movie Database is anything to go by. Out of these million-plus movies, our team of experts has picked what we believe is the essential 1,000 - those that best sum up the dazzling achievement and variety of the movies."

  15. IMDb's Independent Top 50's icon

    IMDb's Independent Top 50

    Favs/dislikes: 244:9. Independent is not a strict genre category, but is rather a grouping of films that are financed outside the regular channels of big production companies. Not being tied to those production companies, independent films often dare to tread outside the more familiar paths used by those companies.
  16. IMDb's Horror Top 50's icon

    IMDb's Horror Top 50

    Favs/dislikes: 242:12. Horror films are designed to frighten and to invoke our hidden worst fears, often in a terrifying, shocking finale, while captivating and entertaining us at the same time in a cathartic experience. Horror films feature a wide range of styles, from the earliest silent Nosferatu classic, to today's CGI monsters and deranged humans. They are often combined with science fiction when the menace or monster is related to a corruption of technology, or when Earth is threatened by aliens. There are many sub-genres of horror: slasher, teen terror, serial killers, satanic, Dracula, Frankenstein, etc.

  19. Academy Award - Best International Feature Film Nominees's icon

    Academy Award - Best International Feature Film Nominees

    Favs/dislikes: 229:3. All nominees including the winners of the Honorary Award. Note: Un lugar en el mundo (1992) was declared ineligible and removed from the final ballot.

  20. IMDb's Shorts Top 50's icon

    IMDb's Shorts Top 50

    Favs/dislikes: 228:13. Any title, specifically a "feature", with a running time of less than 45 minutes ie. 44 minutes or less. As such, shorts is not a genre category but a collection of films with a maximum specific length. Therefore, a short can be of any genre, although animation is one of the most prevalent.
  21. 2015 Edition: Top10ner’s 1001 'Greatest' Movies of All Time's icon

    2015 Edition: Top10ner’s 1001 'Greatest' Movies of All Time

  22. IMDb's 1980s Top 50's icon

    IMDb's 1980s Top 50

    Favs/dislikes: 223:7. The decade of the 1980s tended to consolidate the gains made in the seventies rather than to initiate any new trends. Designed and packaged for mass audience appeal, few 80s films became what could be called 'classics'. The era was characterized by the introduction of 'high-concept' films - with cinematic plots that could be easily characterized by one or two sentences (25 words or less) - and therefore easily marketable and understandable. The 80s also were the decade in which the sequel-mania really took off, which often resulted in hastily-made, inferior knockoffs made by lesser film-makers.
  23. IMDb's Adventure Top 50's icon

    IMDb's Adventure Top 50

    Favs/dislikes: 221:6. Adventure films are usually exciting stories, with new experiences or exotic locales, very similar to or often paired with the action film genre. They can include traditional swashbucklers, serialized films, and historical spectacles (similar to the epics film genre), searches or expeditions for lost continents, "jungle" and "desert" epics, treasure hunts, disaster films, or searches for the unknown.
  24. Doubling the Canon's icon

    Doubling the Canon

    Favs/dislikes: 218:4. Begun in 2007, Doubling the Canon is an annual project which aims to expand the Film Canon as crafted by the They Shoot Pictures, Don't They website. Originally it was a selection of 1000 movies to complement [url=https://www.icheckmovies.com/lists/tspdts+1000+greatest+films/]TSPDT's 1,000 Greatest Films[/url], now it is a list of 1000 which complements the 1,000 Greatest Films and the companions [url=https://www.icheckmovies.com/lists/tspdts+1000+greatest+films+1001-2000/]1001-2000[/url] and [url=https://www.icheckmovies.com/lists/tspdts+21st+centurys+most+acclaimed+films/]21st Century's Most Acclaimed Films[/url]. This project is compiled and voted on by cinephiles from around the globe every year, originally at Imdb's Classic Film Board and currently at [url=http://www.icmforum.com/]icmforum.com[/url], in the months after the posting of that year's TSPDT list.
