1001 movies you must see before you die (all editions)
Favs/dislikes: 165:1. The famous book of Schneider "1001 movies you must see before you die" has several editions. Every few years a new edition is published with new titles (after removing some other titles). Also there are editions especially for a certain country with additional titles from that country. In this list I'll try to collect as many titles as possible that were in at least one edition of this book. So far I included, apart from the original US editions (rank 1-1250), the Dutch (rank 1251-1261), the Swedish (rank 1262-1283), the Greek (rank 1284-1325), the Norwegian (rank 1326-1332), the Finnish (rank 1333-1351), the Danish (rank 1352-1363), the Brazilian (rank 1364-1375), the Hungarian (rank 1376-1381) and the French (rank 1382-1398) editions. I found information about the Portuguese, Spanish, Slovanian, Croatian, Turkish and Polish editions, but these didn't have additional titles. I’ll search for more editions. If you’ve got information about any other, please let me know. -

IMDb's War Top 50
Favs/dislikes: 161:2. War films acknowledge the horror and heartbreak of war, letting the actual combat fighting (against nations or humankind) on land, sea, or in the air provide the primary plot or background for the action of the film. War films are often paired with other genres, such as action, adventure, drama, romance, comedy (black), suspense, and even epics and westerns, and they often take a denunciatory approach toward warfare. They may include POW tales, stories of military operations, and training. -

Time Out's 1000 Films to Change Your Life
Favs/dislikes: 159:5. "Over 1,000 films are listed in this visually arresting, full-color celebration of the silver screen. Film personalities, including actors, directors, cinematographers, and animators, write about their favorite films from a variety of angles. Martin Scorsese, Nicole Kidman, and Nick Hornby are among those who weigh in. Writers are matched to suitable (or sometimes surprising) themes and genres within the wider subject of how films can alter the course of a life. Movie stills and posters, trivia, and top-ten lists make this a book that can be dipped into or read from cover to cover. Great screen moments — endings, beginnings, kisses, death scenes — are given special spreads. The eclectic approach speaks to fans of big Hollywood blockbusters and factoid-reciting film geeks alike." [url=https://www.amazon.com/Time-1000-Films-Change-Guides/dp/1904978738]Source[/url] -

IMDb's History Top 50
Favs/dislikes: 150:5. A genre of film that deals with a major historical event and the actual historical figures involved in it. Often great liberties are taken with the facts to facilitate a 2-hour running time or a particular political agenda. These films pay a great deal of attention to re-creating events that live mostly in our memories or in textbooks. Earlier historical films tended to concentrate on eras and political figures who were far from the present and put little emphasis on undermining the accepted mythologies of history. Some films dealing with historical past would fall into some other genres and types: westerns, musicals, fantasy, war dramas, biographies, etc. -

Favs/dislikes: 150:8.

Major subgenres include the musical comedy or the concert film. -

IMDb's Documentary Top 50
Favs/dislikes: 149:15. Strictly speaking, documentary films are non-fictional, factual works of art. Originally, the earliest documentaries were either short newsreels, instructional pictures, or travelogues (termed actualities) without any creative story-telling or staging. But they have branched out and taken many forms, and have sometimes become propagandistic and non-objective. Mockumentaries are comedic parodies of documentaries. Some documentaries have been considered propagandistic. -

IMDb's 1940s Top 50
Favs/dislikes: 145:5. The early years of the 40s decade were not promising for the American film industry, however, Hollywood film production rebounded and reached its profitable peak of efficiency during the years 1943 to 1946. Advances in film technology (sound recording, lighting, special effects, cinematography and use of color) meant that films were more watchable and 'modern'. The films themselves took on a more realistic rather than escapist tone, as they had done during the Depression years of the 30s. The 40s also were the decade that saw the birth of a new genre in film noir ("black film") pared with the revival of gangster films. -
IMDb's Romance Top 50
Favs/dislikes: 145:9. A sub-genre for the most part, this category shares some features with romantic dramas, romantic comedies, and sexual/erotic films.

Romance films make the love story the main plot focus. -
