    IMDb's Crime Top 50

    Favs/dislikes: 217:6. Crime (gangster) films are developed around the sinister actions of criminals or mobsters, particularly bankrobbers, underworld figures, or ruthless hoodlums who operate outside the law, stealing and murdering their way through life. Criminal and gangster films are often categorized as film noir or detective-mystery films - because of underlying similarities between these cinematic forms. This category includes a description of various 'serial killer' films.

  4. Time Out's The 100 Best British Films's icon

    Time Out's The 100 Best British Films

    Favs/dislikes: 210:2. Other than location and accent, what signatures mark British cinema? Honestly, it’s hard to peg, if only because the UK movies industry hardly seems limited in the stories it tells and the cinematic experiences it puts onscreen. Want a sweeping, heart-swelling epic? Explore the films of David Lean or Powell and Pressburger. Prefer a smaller scale, more intimate drama? Try Joanna Hogg or Shane Meadows. Thrillers? Romantic period pieces? Sci-fi? Drug movies? You can find them, all with a specific, if sometimes intangible, English slant. To put together this list of the best British movies of all-time, we polled over 150 actors, directors, writers, producers, critics and industry heavyweights, from the likes of Wes Anderson, Mike Leigh, Ken Loach, Sam Mendes and Terence Davies, David Morrissey, Sally Hawkins and Thandie Newton. The results are as diverse as the country itself. Here are the 100 greatest British films ever made. Written by Dave Calhoun, Tom Huddleston, David Jenkins, Derek Adams, Geoff Andrew, Adam Lee Davies, Paul Fairclough, Wally Hammond, Alim Kheraj, Matthew Singer & Phil de Semlyen Last Updated: April 14, 2022 [url=https://www.timeout.com/london/film/100-best-british-films]Source[/url]
  5. IMDb's 1970s Top 50's icon

    IMDb's 1970s Top 50

    Favs/dislikes: 196:11. Although the 1970s opened with Hollywood experiencing a financial and artistic depression, the decade became a creative high point in the US film industry. Restrictions on language, adult content and sexuality, and violence had loosened up, and these elements became more widespread. The counter-culture of the time had influenced Hollywood to be freer, to take more risks and to experiment with alternative, young film makers (nicknamed "Movie Brats"), as old Hollywood professionals and old-style moguls died out and a new generation of film makers arose and caused Hollywood to be renewed and reborn.
  6. IMDb's Mystery Top 50's icon

    IMDb's Mystery Top 50

    Favs/dislikes: 195:5. Detective-mystery films are usually considered a sub-type or sub-genre of crime/gangster films (or film noir), or suspense or thriller films that focus on the unsolved crime (usually the murder or disappearance of one or more of the characters, or a theft), and on the central character - the hard-boiled detective-hero, as he/she meets various adventures and challenges in the cold and methodical pursuit of the criminal or the solution to the crime.

  8. IMDb's Comedy Top 50's icon

    IMDb's Comedy Top 50

    Favs/dislikes: 193:27. Comedies are light-hearted plots consistently and deliberately designed to amuse and provoke laughter (with one-liners, jokes, etc.) by exaggerating the situation, the language, action, relationships and characters. This section describes various forms of comedy through cinematic history, including slapstick, screwball, spoofs and parodies, romantic comedies, black comedy (dark satirical comedy), and more.
  9. Amos Vogel's Film as a Subversive Art's icon

    Amos Vogel's Film as a Subversive Art

    Favs/dislikes: 192:12. "Film as a Subversive Art was first published in 1974. According to Vogel--founder of Cinema 16, North America's legendary film society--the book details the "accelerating worldwide trend toward a more liberated cinema, in which subjects and forms hitherto considered unthinkable or forbidden are boldly explored." So ahead of his time was Vogel that the ideas that he penned some 30 years ago are still relevant today, and readily accessible in this classic volume. Accompanied by over 300 rare film stills, Film as a Subversive Art analyzes how aesthetic, sexual, and ideological subversives use one of the most powerful art forms of our day to exchange or manipulate our conscious and unconscious, demystify visual taboos, destroy dated cinematic forms, and undermine existing value systems and institutions." This list contains all movies in the revised version from 2021. Included in this list are movies: 1. with dedicated texts. 2. shown in movie stills. 3. mentioned otherwise as an example of subversive cinema in the context of the text it is mentioned in. Excluded from this list are movies that are mentioned in any other way than an example of subversive cinema. The movies are sorted by appearance in the book. Some movies appear multiple times. In that case, the preferred position is the dedicated text, then a movie still and lastly a mention. The book is divided into parts: Introduction (#1 - #20) Part 1 - Weapons of Subversion: The Subversion of Form (#21 - #170) Part 2 - Weapons of Subversion: The Subversion of Content (#171 - #355) Part 3 - Weapons of Subversion: Forbidden Subjects of the Cinema (#356 - #572) Part 4 - Towards a New Consciousness (#573 - #598) #599 is the back cover.
  10. Academy Award - Best International Feature Film's icon

    Academy Award - Best International Feature Film

    Favs/dislikes: 191:1. The movies on this list have all been awarded a Best Foreign Picture Academy Award (also known as an Oscar). Although the director is the one that receives the award, credit is also awarded to the country in which the movies was produced. As a continent, Europe has dominated this category over the other continents, being responsible for over two third of the winners.

  13. IMDb's Western Top 50's icon

    IMDb's Western Top 50

    Favs/dislikes: 183:5. Westerns are the major defining genre of the American film industry - a eulogy to the early days of the expansive American frontier. They are one of the oldest, most enduring genres with very recognizable plots, elements, and characters (six-guns, horses, dusty towns and trails, cowboys, Indians, etc.). Over time, westerns have been re-defined, re-invented and expanded, dismissed, re-discovered, and spoofed.

We limit the list to films that were produced to be silent films exclusively (synchronized music tracks are acceptible, but part-talkies and talkies that have only survived as silents are out).

This might sound strange, but who cares if a movie is poorly acted and filled with ridiculous special effects? What matters is if the movie keeps you entertained. The site's whole reason for being is to celebrate the quirky films that I find so enjoyable." [url=http://www.badmovies.org/movies/index.html]Source[/url]
