Amos Vogel's Missionary Positions
Favs/dislikes: 0:0. from 1982 "A sampling of titles [notable for] their audacious openness to both formal and thematic innovation." not found on IMDb Closing the Circle (sex between a couple in their fifties and a younger male friend) The Squeeze Technique (a graphic demonstration of Master’s and Johnson’s technique for retarding premature ejaculation) props to Lilarcor for locating the list and Nopros and others for sparking a short discussion -
AMP's 25 Great Asian Comedies
Favs/dislikes: 0:0. Although not exactly that most exported genre towards the West, comedy still holds a significant part in the industries of Asian countries, even the style of humor can occasionally be described as “too local”. Nevertheless, there are movies whose style of comedy can be perceived as universal, with Korean titles being closer to the US style of comedy, Japanese being as weird and extreme as possible, Chinese following deadpan paths for the most part and Indian ones indulging in crudity on occasion. To be as inclusive as possible, we also included some romantic comedy titles, with the focus, as always, being on diversity Without further delay, here are 25 great Asian comedies, from 2000 onwards, in alphabetical order -
AMP's 25 Great Contemporary Iranian Movies
Favs/dislikes: 0:0. The news of the arrest of Jafar Panahi, Mostafa Al-Ahmad and Mohammad Rasoulof last week came to cement the oppressive tactics of the current Iranian regime, with the industry now being in more fear than ever for more incarcerations. At the same time, and despite these issues and the whole censorship that dominates all aspects of life, the Iranian movie industry remains rather vibrant, still one of the biggest in the world, with hundreds of movies produced every year. In a homage to both the arrested and the industry, we present 25 Iranian movies, released post-2010, in alphabetical order. -
AMP's 25 Great Erotic Asian Movies
Favs/dislikes: 0:0. Considering that the majority of South and South East Asian countries are quite conservative when it comes to the presentation of eroticism on cinema (even more so regarding nudity), the number of films that have sensualism as their key element is not exactly huge, at least when compared to European cinema for example. However, Japan and S. Korea do produce a number of this type of movies, even within their censhorship laws, while a number of other countries also have their entries in the category. Also of note is a recent trend that has begun within the Japanese movie industry, of presenting erotic films that try to cater to the aesthetics of both men and women, while abiding by the MeToo rules, with the result being interesting as much as ambitious. In this list, we tried to focus on titles where the erotic is one of the key elements, while trying to stay away from exploitation or soft-porn (S. Korean cinema is filled with these btw) for the most part, instead focusing on “regular” movies that simply include this aspect, in order to titillate. Evidently, we could definitely include more titles from Japan (and S. Korea to a point) but we chose to keep the list as diverse as possible. Without further ado, here are 25 Asian movies that justify this last term. NOTE: Missing on IMDB: Love Nonetheless (Hideo Jojo, 2022, Japan) -
AMP's 30 Great Asian Road Movies
Favs/dislikes: 0:0. Although a favorite of American fans, the road movie is actually a genre that has many fans all over the world, and particularly in Asia, where the occasionally vast spaces provide a great source for such movies. At the same time the category has been used as a metaphor for various psychological, political, social, philosophical etc comments, a plethora of times, highlighting the richness of the particular cinematic approach. Here is a list of 30 of the greatest Asian road movies, in no particular order. Since we already have a list about taxi drivers, we decided to leave these movies out -
AMP's 35 Great Asian Serial Killer Movies
Favs/dislikes: 0:0. The (sub)genre that has been carrying Japanese cinema to the international stage for years, was one of the main components of the explosion of Korean cinema during the last decades, and has given some of the most iconic Hong Kong titles, is not other than the serial killer movie. In this list, we tried to include some of the most memorable titles that include the particular type of murderers in their scripts, in a list, that as you can see, is filled with masterpieces, not only from the aforementioned countries, but also from India, China, Iran, Indonesia and the Philippines. Without further ado, here are 35 Great Asian Serial Killer Moviers, in alphabetical order. -
AMP's 40 Great Japanese Films of the 00s (2000-2009)
Favs/dislikes: 0:0. May 28, 2020 Panos Kotzathanasis When someone talks about the Japanese movie industry in the 00s, inevitably the discussion goes towards anime, which, in the specific decade, accounted for 60% of the local film production. With films like Miyazaki’s “Spirited Away” and the rest of Studio Ghibli’s productions, along with masterpieces from Satoshi Kon, Mamoru Oshii, Katsuhiro Otomo and other great filmmakers, there is no wonder why the 00s were considered “Japanese Cinema’s Second Golden Age”, particularly for the penetration of local films in cinemas around the world. However, anime were not the only story Japanese cinema had to tell in this decade. Yojiro Takita also won an Oscar, Shinji Aoyama and Naomi Kawase won at Cannes, Hirokazu Koreeda continued his successful festival run, Yoji Yamada made an exceptional trilogy of samurai films, Shunji Iwai directed one of the most critically acclaimed film of the decade, Kinji Fukasaku released his last film and Takeshi Kitano his most successful. Furthermore, cult (exploitation) and horror favorites Kiyoshi Kurosawa, Takashi Miike and Sion Sono established themselves as masters of the categories, while a number of independent directors also arose. Without further ado, here is the list with the best films of the 00s, in random order, again with a focus on diversity, in a list that, once more, could feature many more titles. 20th Century Boys trilogy is counted as one entry. -
AMP's 40 Weird Asian Movies That Deserve a Watch
Favs/dislikes: 0:0. If there was ever a region that included themes, characters and motifs that occasionally surpassed even the borders of the surreal, that would be Asia, with the titles that can be easily described as absurd coming out in scores. Maybe it has to do with a particular type of idiosyncrasy, maybe that in a number of countries, particularly in Japan and India, filmmakers feel the freedom to express themselves in any way they want, away from any kind of political correctness or even cinematic “rules”. A number of these movies have already garnered the title of cult, but as we are about to see in this particular list, titles from the whole spectrum of cinema can be found here. Without further ado, here are 40 movies that definitely deserve the title of weird, in alphabetical order. PS. The focus on Japanese films was inevitable… -
AMP's 50+1 Great Asian Movies Based on Manga/Anime
Favs/dislikes: 0:0. Over the last several years, major Japanese studios have started to follow the tactics of their Hollywood equivalents by finally adapting their own comics, called manga, in the way they deserve. This tendency is not exactly new, since films based on manga/anime have been shot since the 70s. However, it is the first time that so many expensive and subsequently elaborate productions are being made. This is chiefly attributed to two factors: 1.The people behind those films finally realized that they could not squeeze eight or more hours of anime in a single film, and thus decided to present the movie in two or three parts, retaining much of the original’s story and themes. 2.They also realized since most of the titles are sci-fi themed, much of the budget should be allocated towards the special effects, in order for the adaptation to capture the images of the original. In addition to the large budgets that were eventually approved for those films, the creators managed to finally elaborately depict the originals. With a focus on diversity, here are 50 titles that we believe are worth watching, in alphabetical order. NOTE: The list contains more than 51 films, because the following series are considered as one single entry in the list: * 20th Century Boys Trilogy (2008-2009) * Assassination Classroom Double Bill (2015-2016) * HK Double Bill (2013-2016) * Lone Wolf and Cub Series (1972-1974) * Parasyte Double Bill (2014-2015) * Shinjuku Swan Double Bill (2015-2017) * The Mole Song Trilogy (2014-2021) * Rurouni Kenshin Trilogy (2012-2014) -
AMP's Queering the Indian Cinescape: 7 Movies
Favs/dislikes: 0:0. June 24, 2020 By Puja Basu The repealing of Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code was definitely a moment of monumental significance in contemporary Indian history. Even though the provision was a legislative relic of the British colonial government, the government of the United Kingdom had revoked this provision in their own country, much before India did the same. The struggle for equal rights and opportunities for people belonging to the LGBTQ+ spectrum in India is far from over; however, the past decade has seen some interesting trends in terms of representation of queer characters in Indian cinema. For a society that [url=https://www.google.com/amp/s/feminisminindia.com/2020/03/09/why-sex-sexuality-education-indian-schools-taboo/%3famp]still refuses to condone sex education[/url] because the subject continues to be taboo, the cinematic medium becomes an interesting means of initiating conversations on the matter, given its reach and capacity for mass engagement. It’s been over two decades since the release of Deepa Mehta’s “[url=https://www.icheckmovies.com/movies/fire/]Fire[/url]”, which had created a furor owing to its portrayal of a same-sex relationship, that two between two sisters-in-law! While public response to such content has changed over the years, so have the kinds of stories filmmakers have been trying to tell. While most works tend to make the character’s sexuality or their instance of ‘coming out’ the focus of their trajectory, some have even managed to go beyond this narrative trope. Here’s taking a look at some of the most interesting Indian cinematic approaches in the last decade, to representing and narrativizing queer stories snd characters. -
AMP's The 25 Best Asian Films of 2021
Favs/dislikes: 0:0. December 14, 2021 18 of the contributors of Asian Movie Pulse from America, Oceania, Europe and Asia have voted the 25 Best Films of 2021, resulting in what we consider a great selection, particularly since the offer of titles this year was much wider, as the industry started to recover from the disaster that was 2020, particularly during the second semester. In that regard, the list includes films Malaysia, Japan, Hong Kong, Thailand, Philippines, S. Korea, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Lebanon, Iran, China and Taiwan, while crime thrillers, animations, shorts, action and documentaries have found a place. Without further ado, here are the best Asian films of 2021, in reverse order. Some films may have premiered in 2020, but since they mostly circulated in 2020*, we decided to include them, in one of the calmer votes in the history of AMP. *I think that's a typo in the article, and it should read "mostly circulated in 2021" -
AMP's The 40 Best Action/Martial Arts Movies of the Decade (2011-2020)
Favs/dislikes: 0:0. Although continuously snubbed by critics and festivals, action movies still retain their popularity among mainstream audiences in particular, while a number of them frequently cross towards the cult category. The golden age of these movies, which parallels the pick of Hong Kong cinema and particularly of companies like Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest and Milkyway Image, is long since gone. However, excellent productions continue to be released every year, with the scepters having been passed on to the ASEAN countries, particularly after the immense success of “The Raid”, which essentially kick-started a whole trend. At the same time, China/Hong Kong and S. Korea continue to release blockbusters of the category, while Japan always has the anime/manga adaptations, which frequently prove quite successful. In an effort to select some of the best action/martial arts movies of the decade (2011-2020), we came up with 40 we felt were the ones that truly stand out in terms of quality, impact and sheer entertainment they offered. The order of this list could be different of course and the number much bigger, but our effort was towards presenting great films and not cataloguing all of them, always with a focus on diversity in style, themes, origin, and filmmaker. NOTE: Two films currently missing: #14 Geran (Areel Abu Bakar, 2020) #33 We Will Not Die Tonight (Richard Somes, 2018) Two extra films as #12 is a trilogy. -
AMP's The 40 Best Korean Movies of the Decade (2011-2020)
Favs/dislikes: 0:0. What started as the Korean New Wave in the late 90s really flourished in the 2000s. The 2010s, however, is where we saw what we can call the “new” golden age for Korean cinema, where several new-name directors made their mark, established filmmakers cemented their names in world cinema, actors became stars, blockbuster cinema raked in big money and independent cinema also thrived. Thanks to the success of films like “The Handmaiden” and “Train to Busan” on a global level, a new audience started having a much keener interest in films from the country, while the unprecedented, historic success of “Parasite” at the end only went on to bookend the truly spectacular decade that the 2010s was for South Korean cinema. In an effort to winnow some of the best Korean movies of the decade (2011-2020), we came up with 40 we felt were the ones that truly stand out in terms of quality, impact and sheer entertainment they offered. The order of this list could be different of course and the number much bigger, but our effort was towards presenting great films and not cataloguing all of them, always with a focus on diversity in style, themes and filmmakers. -

Anarchist anime: no kami, no kazoku
Favs/dislikes: 0:1. no keigo, no geishas That is, anime that should be of interest to anarchists because of progressive themes. Socialism will do too if it's not too auth (look up chinese Donghua for that? also Girls Und Panzer, First Squad?). One title per series. (everything that gets mentioned online is good enough unless there are serious counterarguments) "If you're just looking for anime that can have an anarchist/socialist interpretation, then there're plenty. But if you want something strictly socialist, something overtly promoting working class consciousness, unequivocally exploring themes directly related to socialist revolution, then there is none other than the Marx bio. Like, Code Geass can be read as anti-imperialist, but it never mentions anything like economic equality or abolition of class. It also never associates the rise of Brittania with capitalism. Nothing in the show suggests the anti-Brittania revolutionaries are gonna install socialism rather than keeping capitalism in place once they take power. A liberal or a nationalist can easily enjoy the show using their own perspective."
