Taste of Cinema's 25 Weird Animated Movies That Are Worth Your Time
Favs/dislikes: 3:0. "There is an odd perception among the general populace that animated movies are made for children. While there’s an obvious connection between children and brightly colored cartoons, adults by nature want to make things for themselves. The people that get into making animation are obviously driven by the desire to draw. But many times these people are driven by curious forces. The animation medium provides a level of creativity and freedom not seen in many other film genres. It’s only natural that a group of people would take that freedom and run with it. Like running off a cliff at high speeds, falling down into a vat of acid that eats your flesh and melts your brain. This list is collection of those decisions. It’s a list of animated films that are strange, eclectic, disturbing, or just plain bizarre. Most of the choices here are geared towards an adult audience. All of the choices here have been picked to watch while under the influence of strong self-assessment." -
Taste of Cinema's The 25 Best Brazilian Movies of All Time
Favs/dislikes: 4:0. Brazilian cinema is rich in themes, although many people think it is usually reduced to violence and poverty. The truth is that many directors are unable to make their work commercially available, a few can manage to go through the funnel, going beyond film festivals. There is a mass of Brazilian intellectuals who despise the genre cinema, teachers of film schools stimulate in their students this wrong attitude. A new generation of critics, of which i am a part, is struggling daily to change this sad reality in the long run. Some of these movies that I selected are not even remembered by these veteran professionals, but they demonstrate the versatility, courage and good humor of these artists, usually working with very small budget. From the silent age to the modern times, all genres, drama, romance, thriller, comedy, horror, documentary, children’s movies and action extravaganzas. Here are the 25 greatest brazilian films ranked from good to best. -

The 101 Greatest Endings in Movies History
Favs/dislikes: 1:0. Not every great movie has a great ending. The reverse is also true: We’ve all had that experience of watching a ho-hum flick that became instantly unforgettable thanks to an awesome conclusion (famously, or more recently). It is, arguably, the most important part of any film — how a filmmaker wants you to feel when the lights go up is often the key to what that picture was really about. In compiling a list of the greatest endings in movie history, we had many arguments over many months about this very dynamic, and found ourselves drawn to certain types we deemed successful more than others: Ambiguous, dark endings; endings that purported to explain something but secretly did not; endings that denied us (and the characters) closure; endings that featured people dancing, but not always in joyous, triumphant fashion. Maybe that was a reflection of the times we were living. (Dark, uncertain, marked by a significant amount of human flailing.) Sometimes, we did go for the cathartic, bring-happy-tears-to-your-face finale, but we frequently found ourselves opining the sorts of stories that lack that release. The unendings. Our goal from the jump was never to determine a set formula for the Great Movie Ending. We began with an absolute morass of nominations, hundreds of finales that stuck in at least one Vulture staff member’s maw. The idiosyncrasies piled up; if the key to a good ending was a feeling, we’d surrender to impulse. Still, we did set ourselves some rules. Most significantly, we only considered one movie (feature length) per director, in part so Billy Wilder and Stanley Kubrick and Alfred Hitchcock titles didn’t swallow up the whole list. We prioritized a diversity of tone, origin, authorship, subject matter, and genre. And we were a bit flexible on what constituted an actual “ending”: a final shot, a final passage; it just had to come at the end of the film. (You’d be amazed at how many scenes are remembered as being great endings that came well before the movie in question went to credits.) Still, there was no escaping our own unbound tastes and biases. You’ll see some classic endings on this list. You’ll also wonder (probably angrily) where some of the more iconic ones are. And you’ll hopefully see a few you’ve never heard of. (This is as good a time as any to remind you that this list contains many, many spoilers.) The thread that pulls all of these choices together is that after rewatching them, we felt that tough-to-articulate sensation when the lights went up (metaphorically, because of course we’re holed up at home just like you): The key to the story was more often a notion, not an answer. -

The 25 Best Yakuza Films of All Time
Favs/dislikes: 10:0. Organized crime in Japan has always bordered on the affected and the legitimate. Historically, the origin of such syndicates emerged from the Edo Period when gamblers and shady merchants began forming factions. Such petty activities would become more structured until finally progressing to the administrative. The height of the yakuza’s violence followed the Second World War as group after group fought for power and territory through bribery, corruption, and betrayal. As of the past thirty years or so, the yakuza have become more insidious as a result of anti-gang laws in Japan. In cinema however, the mythology of the yakuza enjoys an enduring fascination. Hence, to follow, are twenty-five of the greatest of these films ranging from stylistic antiheroic tales to the gritty realism of the amoral and corrupt.

The 25 Greatest Legal Movies
Favs/dislikes: 22:0. What would Hollywood do without lawyers? In a town built on copyrights and cosmetic surgery, lawyers have done far more than pen the small print in studio contracts or post bail for hollow-eyed stars on the way to and from rehab. From the incisive Henry Drummond and the droll Mr. Lincoln to the callow Danny Kaffee and the regal Atticus Finch, lawyers have provided some of Hollywood’s most memorable cinematic heroes and some of its most honorable and thoughtful films. Earlier this year, the ABA Journal asked 12 prominent lawyers who teach film or are connected to the business to choose what they regard as the best movies ever made about lawyers and the law. We’ve collated their various nominees to produce our jury’s top picks. -

The 25 Most Disturbing Horror Movies of All Time
Favs/dislikes: 8:0. The term disturbing is defined as something that can be troubling mentally or emotionally. It is something that is upsetting and may even make you physically ill. That being said, the term can be considered rather subjective. As human beings, we all have had our own unique experiences that over time have molded our characteristics, behavior, feelings, and personal judgments. So something that is disturbing to one person may not be disturbing to another. That being said, this is list of twenty five films from the horror genre that are disturbing or could be considered to be disturbing. The horror genre is the most likely place that we are going to find imagery that will shock and disturb the audience, featuring tales of true crime, serial killers, slashers, rape and revenge, torture, scenes of horrific gore, and the list can go on forever. Within the genre and its many subgenres, they can take us into the deepest and darkest corridors of humanity. Places that we hope to never witness or become a part of. It is those types of events that can be potentially disturbing. This list contains a little bit of everything, with at least one film from every decade between 1966 and 2016 and at least one from America, Serbia, Germany, Austria, Italy, Mexico, Hong Kong, Japan, Spain, China, France, Sweden and Argentina. It is a varied collection of horror pictures; with some between being critically hailed, many being labeled as exploitative and controversial, and some being banned in various parts of the world. [Author’s Note: This list is not meant to be an all inclusive list or a best of list; it is simply twenty five horror movies that may be disturbing.] -
The 25 Most Infamous Movie Scenes of All Time
Favs/dislikes: 2:0. There’s no shortage of movie scenes intended to shock, horrify, or disturb audiences, especially within certain genres (horror being a big one). Some scenes, however, have withstood the test of time, almost taking on a life of their own outside the film. Many of the most memorable of these are either physically visceral or emotionally devastating (or both), dealing with highly emotional topics that have a tendency to get under the skin. Scenes featuring rape or torture are particularly likely to evoke powerful responses in viewers, especially (though not always, as we will see) when depicted explicitly. Sometimes these scenes are so notorious that they come to overshadow the rest of the film they’re in, becoming the one thing people (even those who haven’t seen it) associate with the film. This can at times seem arbitrary, especially when there are similar or worse scenes in other films (or even within the same film in question), but for various reasons explored below, these scenes just have a certain staying power, holding up over the years. Fair warning: Lots of descriptions of sex, violence, and sexual violence ahead, along with some spoilers – though these will be avoided when possible in the following countdown: -

The Cinemaholic's 25 Best Low Budget Movies of All Time
Favs/dislikes: 0:0. (...) Films were a business and an industry much before they were considered art. The commercial aspect of cinema is almost always inseparable from its artistic endeavours. Even a bad film takes a ton of money to make just as a good one does. However, there are some filmmakers who have managed to make the most of their resources without compromising on the quality of work. Here’s the list of top films made under a million dollars and are considered great. So, go ahead and learn from these cheapest and inexpensive movies.
