100 Lesser-Known Movies to Watch at Home - Cole Stratton
Favs/dislikes: 1:0. "Like most of us, I’ve been sheltering in place for a few months now. I’ve caught up on most everything on my DVR and playlists on various streaming platforms, and the algorithms keep suggesting the same things over and over. I turned to the internet for lists of films to watch, but nearly all of them suggest the same mainstream stuff over and over – like, I’ve seen Blade Runner, most of us have seen Blade Runner, or at least are very aware of Blade Runner and can find Blade Runner should we want to see Blade Runner. Blade Runner. I thought a useful tool could be a list of films a little more off the beaten path – from overlooked studio pictures, to little indie gems, to movies that somehow failed to find a large audience but have small factions that swear by them. And, more importantly, where they can be found. I adore or at least enjoyed all of these. So, in alphabetical order, I present to you my picks for hopefully new entertainment to help pass the days stuck inside, along with the various services where they can be found to rent or stream. (A handy guide can be found at justwatch.com). Also, there’s some bonus entries at the end that I just can’t find as streamable online, but I wanted to notate them there." /Cole Stratton, 2020-07-20 http://www.colestratton.com/blog/2020/7/20/100-lesser-known-movies-to-watch-at-home -

115 Films By and About Women of Color
Favs/dislikes: 11:0. "To be clear, the list itself isn't comprehensive and doesn't claim to represent every woman-directed film about women of color; there would be too many to name. Rather, consider it a solid reflection of people's tastes. The original call was to "name three films you like with black, brown, native or Asian women leads" that were also directed by women. So the response online tells us a great deal about the films that general movie fans watch, like and remember. You could say that the original list of 84 films reflects which movies had an impact on Hollywood and the US independent film scene, since the call came from a well-known US-based filmmaker. In order to come up with titles beyond the original 84, many of you looked to films made overseas, in nations where people of color are the majority. It’s interesting to note which directors were listed multiple times; names like Mira Nair, Gina Prince-Bythewood and Gurinder Chadha came up more than once as women who have built careers on telling the stories of women of color, and whose films have made money over the years. And of note, we’re looking only at feature-length, scripted films directed by women. Of course there are lots of important documentaries made by and about women of color, arguably many more than narrative features due to the cost and means of documentary production. So again, there would be too many documentaries to name here. There’s also the fact that many docs focus on groups of people, societal systems, or eras in history rather than individual protagonists, which makes it tougher to classify which documentaries are "led by women of color." But it may be worth a separate discussion on docs in the future." -

12 Movies That Changed Hollywood Forever
Favs/dislikes: 1:0. Breaking news: Hollywood is out of ideas! At least, you’d be forgiven for thinking that if you’ve paid attention to all the sequels, reboots, and IP properties filling up theaters these days. But even before the era of superheroes and CG robots, people still thought Hollywood was out of ideas, what with all the westerns, musicals, and book adaptations being thrown their way. So it seems as long as Hollywood has been around there have been cries of a creative well run dry and fans clamoring for more original films. But all hope isn’t lost, because despite the fact that, yes, Hollywood does often rehash the same ideas over and over until viewer fatigue eventually sets in, peppered throughout all of movie history have been original films that change the game so much that every movie that follows owes a bit of its DNA to said game changer. Below we give you the 12 movies so original, so unexpected, and so breathtakingly successful at what they set out to do that they ended up changing Hollywood – and movie history – forever. -
14 of the best horror movies for testing surround sound
Favs/dislikes: 1:0. While the nostalgia of mono audio and grainy low-budget pictures may be a part of the attraction of the genre's history, it pays for today’s horror films (and the increasing number of restorations) to look and sound their best. After all, why wouldn't you want to feel like you’re in an old, creepy haunted house? With the lights off... stood in silence... waiting for a killer to strike? We've rounded up 14 (because 13 would have been just too meta) of the best horror movies with soundtracks dead-certain to send shivers down your spine and also give your surround sound system a run for its money. Just don't throw a remote control at it out of fear. Lights down, volume up, baseball bat on standby... -
15 Best Horror Movies Set In The Woods
Favs/dislikes: 1:0. As simple a setting as it may seem, woodlands and forests are one of the most effective backdrops for horror stories, and, in the case of movies, they can sometimes have a menacing natural beauty to them. Horror movies set in the woods also tend to be lower budget features, reducing studio oversight and freeing filmmakers to be more provocative, shocking, and experimental with their ideas. Some of the most well-known horror movies set in the woods are counted as some of the best horror movies of all time, they span various distinct sub-genres of horror and can boast some of the finest casts and memorable characters within the genre. From cult slasher favorites to critically acclaimed modern classics, the best horror movies set in the woods demonstrate how one genre can take one type of location and use it in so many different and effective ways. Whether searching for gore, ghosts, monsters, psychological horror, or even post-apocalyptic survival horror, genre fans are spoiled for choice when it comes to these films. Many of the best horror movies set in the woods are also available on free streaming services, meaning that–truly–anyone can enjoy them if they're prepared for plenty of eerie scares. -
15 Brilliant Flashback Examples for Screenwriters and Filmmakers
Favs/dislikes: 1:0. It’s almost hard to think of a modern film that doesn’t have a flashback example somewhere within it. Of course, that’s not strictly true. But it is true that flashbacks are a key part of a screenwriting arsenal. Modern film and TV is full of flashback examples. Screenwriters and filmmakers will use them for a variety of reasons. Often it will be expositional, often it will be to add dynamism. As audiences, we can usually tell when a flashback feels contrived or when it feels genuine and effective. For a screenwriter, using flashbacks can be a very tempting way of making a screenplay more dynamic. But it’s important to hone in on why you are using a flashback. Don’t use a flashback to just remind the audience of something they have already seen. Or if you do this proceed with caution. Know that you could frustrate your audience by patronising them, assuming they won’t be able to remember information and that you need to remind them of it. Use a flashback to add to the story rather than to run along side it. In this article, we’re not going to look necessarily at movies that are entirely built around flashbacks or told from the perspective of a flashback (like Memento, Forest Gump or Titanic for example). Instead, we will look at flashback examples that feature briefly or intermittently throughout a screenplay. They might just feature once, or they might crop up a couple of times. Furthermore, what flashback examples are innovative in how they use flashback? Overall, we’ll demonstrate how best to use flashbacks to add to and accentuate your story. -
15 Great Films That Let Your Eyes Do The Editing
Favs/dislikes: 3:0. Since the birth of cinema the average shot length (ASL) of films has been getting shorter and shorter, and when we talk about ASL (if you don’t know) we’re talking about how long a shot lasts before cutting. The lower the ASL, the more separate shots a film contains. To give you a practical example, Spun (Jonas Åkerlund, 2002) has an ASL of around 1.2, meaning that the average duration of a shot before cutting is a mere 1.2 seconds long, whereas Some Like it Hot (Billy Wilder, 1959) has an ASL of around 12.4. As a general guideline, ASLs for all films were much longer in the past, and over the decades people like Barry Salt have done exceptional work tracking the changing form of cinema, and looking at how films feature more and more cuts, and shorter and shorter takes as the medium has developed. Editing is something that we’ve become impatient for these days: we see the object, recognise its significance, and move on as quickly as possible. And this is something we’re taught to do: ‘keep it tight’, ‘cut, cut, cut’ and so on. But there’s an interesting conversation to be had about what happens when an audience is presented with a sustained frame, one that they are allowed to edit with their eyes by choosing where to look. -
15 Great Movies About Police Corruption That Are Worth Watching
Favs/dislikes: 1:0. The thin blue line has been featured time and time again throughout cinema history. From hardboiled detective thrillers to intense character studies, corrupt police officers have been a fixture in movies. Sometimes we may root for the hero, the Boy Scout, the white knight who swoops in to clean up the crooked police department but there are those rare instances where we find ourselves on the other side of the line wanting the bad cop to get away. There is something to be said about being bound by an oath or code that cements the ties between individuals. They are sworn to protect civilians but also adhere to an unspoken bond to protect each other, even when they’re on the take. Films about police work show us the behind the scene footage we may not get to see in real life. It’s even more fascinating to see the inner workings of a cop operating outside the law. There are always means to an end, however, and sometimes these films feature cops who may have been pushed into these circumstances. Other times, the corrupt cop is an absolute monster who loves nothing more than to hurt innocent people. From corrupt lone wolves to systemic level corruption, crooked cop thrillers/dramas have set the scene for some intense films. -
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 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 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. -

16 Best Liminal Space Horror Movies That Define the Genre
Favs/dislikes: 3:0. The word "liminal" is something we have been hearing more and more these days. The word is nothing new but its definition pertains to a lot of what we see around us. Liminal is a word that relates to transition, or the initial stages of a transitional process. Think of it as the end of one thing, but the next phase of whatever it may be describing, has yet to really take shape. Horror is often, if not always, a reflection of the world around us and how we react to it. It's the fear of the unknown in everyday life. Whether you like it or not, the 2020s have kicked off in a very liminal way. The old ways seemed to have been torn down, but we've yet to see a new world come together. Many are nostalgic of the past, but the problem with nostalgia is that it feels good to stare at something that reminds you of the good ol'days, but you will never truly obtain what it meant and felt like ever again. Look around you, the world many of us were promised no longer exists. Malls are closing, technology is advancing, politics sways back and forth between conservative and progressive ideals, and here we all are, waiting for something new in this liminal space of life. To help us through that transition is a long list of liminal horror films that hit that spot of feeling like and limbo as you yearn for a past you can't have anymore. -
17 Essential Movies For An Introduction To Essay Films
Favs/dislikes: 3:0. Put most concisely by Timothy Corrigan in his book on the essay film: ‘from its literary origins to its cinematic revisions, the essayistic describes the many-layered activities of a personal point of view as a public experience’. Perhaps a close cousin to documentary, the essay film is at its core a personal mode of filmmaking. Structured in a breadth of forms, a partial definition could be said to be part fact, part fiction with an intense intimacy (but none of these are necessarily paramount). Stemming from the literary essay as a form of personal expression borne from in-depth explorations of its chosen topic, the essay film can be agitprop, exploratory, or diaristic and generally rejects narrative progression and concretised conclusions in favour of a thematic ambivalence. Due to its nature as inherently personal, the term itself is as vague and expansive as the broad collective of films it purports to represent. To borrow Aldous Huxley’s definition, the essay is a device for saying almost everything about almost anything. In built then is an inherent expansiveness that informs a great ambition in the form itself, but as Huxley acknowledges it can only say almost anything; whether extolling the need for a socialist state (Man with a Movie Camera), deconstructing the power and status of the image itself (Histoire(s) du Cinema, Images of the World and the Inscription of War, Los Angeles Plays Itself) or providing a means to consider ones of past (Walden, News from home, Blue), the essay film is only the form of expression, which unlike any other taxonomic term suggests almost nothing about the film itself other than its desire to explore. Below is an 17 film introduction to the essay film that cannot be pinned down and continue to remake and remodel itself as freely as it sheds connections between any of the films within its own canon. -
