15 Great Movies Dedicated To True Cinephiles
Favs/dislikes: 2:0. Why cinema was originally invented? Why do the masses flow toward the projection rooms to such a great and undiminished degree since the dawn of filmmaking? It’s quite clear that a motion picture acts like a linear medium of entertainment, glibly stirring a variety of emotions and thoughts. Yet, the quintessence of the seventh art hides a temple of sacred truths which come to the surface step by step, and if the receiver is willing enough to confront them and along these lines, incur an inner transformation. Behind any creation of artistic cinema looms the cerebral entity of an offbeat observer. A filmmaker grasps the ordinary details of life in an underground way, and craves exposing his glassy thoughts to others. In this manner, the following movies are aspects of ideas that sprang from people who made cinema out of need, directing their personal philosophy to people who watch cinema out of need as well. -
15 Great Movies That Nail The Way Young People Navigate Relationships Nowadays
Favs/dislikes: 2:0. Though times have immensely changed over the course of the 15 years of the new millennia, Hollywood rom-coms are not the most adaptive of genres, and so the conventions and worldviews of films depicting relationships haven’t exactly kept up with these changes. The movies in this list are honorable exceptions, and it’s no coincidence that most of them were made by young, talented writers and directors. -
15 Movies Screenwriters Should Watch to Study Dialogue
Favs/dislikes: 2:0. What are the best movies that you should study if you want to learn how to write amazing dialogue? The best dialogue is lightning in a bottle. There’s no real formula. It’s not a paint-by-the-numbers process that everyone can follow. We’ve explored the “secrets” of writing great dialogue. Read ScreenCraft’s The Single Secret of Writing Great Dialogue! Lack of dialogue is where you start — that’s the first key to unlocking the mysteries of memorable movie dialogue. The best practice is less about injecting those great one-liners and speeches and more about cutting and cutting and cutting every line of dialogue that you can until you find that great one-liner, fragment, or phrase hiding amidst the noise — that diamond in the rough that encapsulates the moment at the core. The second and final key to unlocking the secret of writing great dialogue is to understand that there is no secret. There is no single final secret. And the moment you realize that will be the moment that you’ll feel a heavy weight lifted from your shoulders. There are no dialogue rules that can apply to each and every screenplay. Some scripts require expositional dialogue — others would suffer from it. Some scripts require the added touch of stylistic dialogue — others don’t need it. Some scripts require no dialogue, letting actions speak louder than words (Dunkirk, The Road) — others would benefit from it. But that doesn’t mean you can’t learn from the best cinematic dialogue that has graced the big and small screens. Part of the learning process of writing is seeking out the best inspiration you can find. Then you can build on that inspiration and apply your own style and choices. Here we offer fifteen movies — in no specific order — that screenwriters should watch to study cinematic dialogue. We’ll also briefly break down what you can learn from each. -
15 Neon Noir
Favs/dislikes: 2:0. If Noir personified is foggy San Francisco or claustrophobic Manhattan in the 1940s, Neon Noir is futuristic Los Angeles or Paris in the 1980s. LIST BY Aaron Rietz -
15 Riveting Documentaries That Unfold Like Dramatic Narratives
Favs/dislikes: 2:0. Documentary films have been around since the earliest days of cinema. In a sense, they are the opposite of narrative films: fictional stories created in the mind of the writer, brought to life by the director, and starring a bunch of actors who are pretending to be someone else. Documentaries by definition are nonfiction, true-life stories presented to the audience as a cinematic document of the world we all inhabit. Recently, there has been a shift in the form and many current documentary filmmakers have been blurring the line between factual documentaries and narrative fiction. They present a story that actually happened but may alter the sequence of events or hold back certain details in order to construct a more dramatic film full of unforeseen twists and ultimate climaxes. Based on the success and influence of these films, as well as narrative films that include aspects of documentary-like reality such as Boyhood (2014) and Under the Skin (2013), it is safe to assume that the boundary between narrative films and documentaries will continue to diminish, and future films may not permit classification between the two forms of filmmaking. In the end, no matter the form or genre, every film has the same goal: to captivate an audience and produce an emotional reaction through cinematic storytelling. The following films use this modern technique of documentary storytelling to demonstrate how the nonfiction stories can be just as thought provoking and emotionally powerful as the tales constructed by human imagination. -

20 Great Movies That Cross The Line Between Film And Stage
Favs/dislikes: 2:0. Cinema is regarded as the sum of all arts, and not mistakenly; since its origins, filmmakers strove to enrich their work by looking at other forms of art – poetry, painting, music, and of course, theater. Sometimes the distinction between the latter and cinema is neat, sometimes not; there is always something the two arts have in common, something that obsessed over and still obsesses the masters of the Seventh Art. A thin line marks the border, a line that only a few artists can cross successfully. Here are 20 great films that succeeded in crossing this line, each in its own way. -
20 Great Movies That Introverts Will Absolutely Love
Favs/dislikes: 2:0. Being an introvert is often misunderstood as being boring, uninteresting, and plain. People have a tendency to care less and aggrieve towards those who are reticent, quiet, and what we often call “loner”, “weirdo”, or “creep”. Introverts are some of the most underrated and misjudged people today, and how most people perceive them is far from who they really are and what they really do. Introverts are withdrawn and separated from society, not simply because they want to, but because they are always on a different page; they think and act differently and no one will get them other than themselves. On the other hand, extroverts tend to be better at communicating and expressing their thoughts and feelings, while introverts are known to be reserved and hesitant when it comes to disclosing, and the movies listed can be a basic and useful guide for extroverts to understand and see the world in an introvert’s eyes. Their most quiet moments can be the moments where they are the most thoughtful and/or imaginative, and in these films, we see this side of them. These movies show introversion as a compelling way of life and not just a state of mind of being alone; they show the reasons behind it, its effects towards other people, and how they deal with it. The following films convey what introverts feel and see that extroverts don’t. The films listed introduce us to a different yet interesting world of introverts who may not be socially active but have an active inner life. -
20 Great Movies That Make Masterful Use of Color
Favs/dislikes: 2:0. Back in the 1990’s there was a considerable cultural stir within the film community. Several companies, notably one owned by mogul Ted Turner, were indulging in a process called colorization. Simply put, this process took films created in black and white and added color to them (much as old post cards had once been colored). This was done in an effort to interest younger viewers in older films and thus make them more commercial. Many, many film buffs were appalled. Most of those who spoke out against the process took the tack of exalting monochromatic photography, admittedly beautiful but considered by some to be somewhat passé in the modern film era. As part of this campaign, many of the colorization opponents condemned any use of color in film. Maybe a certain something did get lost when films went almost completely to color, but this argument was facile. The great, and wise, director-writer John Huston noted that color could be a great tool in the hands of a film maker who knew how to use it and what to do with it. And he should have known since he used color to great effect in many of his films. What the anticolorization crowd missed was the fact that color in some form or another has existed almost has long as cinema itself. Indeed, the first color motion picture was released in 1912. The perfected three-strip Technicolor process didn’t arrive until 1935 but that still gave film makers many years in which to use it. The process was costly and thought to work best for musicals, comedies, big, spectacular films such as Gone with The Wind or special projects such as the animated films of Walt Disney. However, after World War II, a more modern wave of thought started to creep into world cinema. Many noted directors started to use color as another means by which to effectively tell stories as part of their visual styles. Like the use of black and white, this was a creative decision—and that was what colorization was infringing upon. Below are a number of outstanding examples of how skillful film makers can use color to superb effect. -
