The 15 Best Movies About Teenage Ennui
Favs/dislikes: 1:0. While each stage in our growth and development as human beings has its fair share of conflict and hardship, none is as tempestuous and complicated as adolescence. It is the time of loss of innocence, when we have to leave the cradle in which we so happily romped to take a look at a world that most of the time is cruel and indifferent. It is a time of great transformation and discovery; our bodies change in such amazing ways and so fast that we feel dazzled and mesmerized. Our intellect develops more than ever before, our emotions grow deeper, and our cravings become more complex. It is in adolescence that we define ourselves by our own terms, and when we try to know who we are. We discover sex, love, passion, and our lives are filled with great intensity and energy. But we also come across pain, fear, confusion, and many other negative feelings that make us feel distraught and tired. The death of innocence comes as particularly painful, for we realize that things are and always will be far from ideal; we realize that the world is ugly, love is unsatisfactory, and our search for answers is unfruitful. That’s why philosophers such as Nietzsche, Sartre, and Camus are so popular around teenagers; they realized how absurd things are and created a philosophical system around that fact. Such conflictive discoveries can lead those inclined toward melancholy to an utter dissatisfaction with the world, to an unexplainable sense of loss. ‘Ennui’ can be defined as a sort of existential boredom, one that isn’t necessarily a consequence of an eventless environment, but one that spawns from the belief that nothing good is ever going to happen. It’s an emotional tiredness that is often accompanied by depressive states. Here I present a compilation of 15 films in which ennui during the teenage years is explored and portrayed in its wide array of manifestations. -
The 15 Best Urban-Legend Horror Movies
Favs/dislikes: 1:0. This weekend, Slender Man opens in theaters after a long and winding road to the box office (including multiple release-date changes and a mostly absent marketing campaign). The central story is based on the internet lore surrounding the titular character, a long, spindly humanlike figure who stalks, abducts, and traumatizes people — particularly kids. In the movie, a group of teen girls attempt to solve the mystery of Slender Man to protect themselves and save a friend who goes missing. It’s classic urban-legend horror: those scary stories you heard through your best friend’s cousin’s girlfriend who knows a guy that was totally killed by mixing Pop Rocks with soda. If you’re looking for more spooky stories along these lines, we’ve come up with a list of 15 urban-legend horror movies ready to freak you the hell out, ranked in ascending order of quality. From the haunted VHS tapes of Japan to the sewer-trawling alligators of the United States, here’s your guide to the best, most bombastic, and occasionally sexy urban-myth-based horror movies. -
The 20 Best Movies About The Nature of Truth
Favs/dislikes: 1:0. The idea of toying with truth in a work of fiction is not new. For example, dramatic irony dates back to Sophocles’ Oedipus Rex. And of course, Shakespeare popularized the concept of dramatic irony even further with works like Romeo and Juliet, and Othello. In a film, it’s easy to take what we are shown at face value. However, some of the most inventive films share traits with the great literature of the past. With the right filmmakers, truth is not something to just spoon-feed an audience. It’s something to play with; manipulating truth in a film can transcend the quality of the final product. It can make a difference between an average film and a really great one. This can also be considered a cheap gimmick, but it almost always benefits a movie. This list will showcase 10 great times filmmakers decided to experiment with the theme of truth. http://www.tasteofcinema.com/2018/the-10-best-movies-about-the-nature-of-truth/ http://www.tasteofcinema.com/2019/the-10-best-films-about-the-nature-of-truth/ -
The 20 Best Science Fiction Films Ever Made
Favs/dislikes: 1:0. This is just what I love, not a consistent reflection of the current popular consensus, though I've given some consideration to certain influential works that have made a monumental impact on film history. Since what we take away from a story is individual and subjective, movies move us all differently, which is why no one's list will be identical to anyone else's. Also, what we value highest won't stay the same as we change. I hope you'll enjoy this version. -

The 30 Best Movies About Addiction
Favs/dislikes: 1:0. Is there any such thing as too much of a good thing? Yes. But that doesn’t stop most people and that’s fine enough. Everyone has some sort of compulsive behavior that makes them feel good, but may have adverse consequences in the future. However, when are normal things like over-spending or overeating considered being a sort of disease? – When your whole life falls apart because of it. When it gets in the way of daily functioning by interrupting or ruining things like work, school, relationships, friendships, and health. Most people assume that the only things you can get addicted to are drugs or alcohol which are intrinsically rewarding and therefore reinforce the behavior. But there are way more addictions and many adaptations of how addiction is portrayed in cinema. Whether it is the beginning of addiction or rehabilitation from it, or even how there is a whole economy based on addicts, there’s a movie of it. -

The 50 Best Political Movies Ever
Favs/dislikes: 1:0. A nation divided. A war of ideals. It sounds a lot like reality and it sounds a lot like a movie. Indeed, the history of cinema is fertile with motion pictures with political storylines and lofty social ambitions. Ever since we discovered that the moving image has a distinct power over the masses, artists and governments have been using films to convey their message… for better and often for worse. Compiling a list of the best political movies in history is a daunting task. We had to allow for films that espouse ideas and ideals that don’t necessarily match our own. We had to consider a film’s quality as a political document and/or statement as a separate entity from its overall quality (the so-called “best movie ever made” only ranks at #49 on this list for that very reason). And we had to cast a wide net, so this Big List was voted upon and written by a half dozen film critics: Crave‘s William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold, The Wrap‘s Alonso Duralde, Linoleum Knife‘s Dave White, Blumhouse‘s Alyse Wax and Collider‘s Brian Formo. They each nominated 50 films, ranked from #1-50, and we tabulated those votes to come up with the following Top 50 Best Political Movies Ever. (Stick around at the end, when we’ll reveal our 50 runners-up as well.) -

The 51 All-Time Greatest Acting Performances....That Oscar Ignored
Favs/dislikes: 1:0. Entertainment Weekly dug into the scores of great performances that have been overlooked by Oscar over the past 87 years. Some are so iconic that they had to triple-check the history books to make sure that Oscar had been so blind. (Really? Ingrid Bergman wasn’t nominated for Casablanca?) They could’ve made a list of 250—but from that list, they culled it down to 51 and ranked them, counting down to the single greatest acting performance that failed to grab Oscar’s attention. Note: The list makers place Julie Delpy and Ethan Hawke together in Before Midnight as the 51/50 greatest performances. Additionally, they place John Cazale at 14 and Diane Keaton at 41, both for their work in The Godfather: Part II. The list, therefore, comprises 49 different films. -

The A.V. Club's 50 most important American independent movies
Favs/dislikes: 1:0. What makes an independent film? The question has never had a straightforward answer, and the cultural criteria that define an indie has changed over the decades. But by and large, it has always been something that couldn’t have been made within the Hollywood system. In our attempt to assemble a list of the most important American indies, we have included works by mavericks, film school grads, and true outsiders; productions with multimillion-dollar budgets and labors of love financed through part-time jobs; movies that played the arthouse, the grindhouse, or barely anywhere at all. Some were massive box office hits, while others languished in obscurity for decades. Not all of our selections would rank among the best American independent movies ever made. Instead, the films on this list are the ones that broke new ground, created genres, or first introduced important artistic voices and subjects into American film. -

The Arts & Faith Top 25 Films on Waking Up
Favs/dislikes: 1:0. We need stories about protagonists who learn how to wake up and to be conscious of the deeper realities behind mere default settings, unquestioned assumptions, and the spiritual sedative of focusing on self. Produced by the Arts & Faith online community, this list spans 65 years of cinema, from 1952’s Ikiru to 2016’s Arrival. The Top 25 Films on Waking Up is sponsored by Image, a literary and arts quarterly founded in 1989 to demonstrate the vitality and diversity of well-made art and writing that engage seriously with the historic faiths of the West in our time.
