Favs/dislikes: 21:0. Movie list from popular russian media resourse "Afisha". Choice of 16 russian critics. Based on hard book guide of the same name.

Ebert's Great Movies III
Favs/dislikes: 17:0. Below is a subset of Roger Ebert's list of great films containing only those in his book "The Great Movies III", published in 2010. An excerpt from Ebert's introduction to the book: "I believe great movies are a civilizing force. They allow us to empathize with those whose lives are different than our own. I like to say they open windows in our box of space and time. Here's a third book filled with windows." -
Ebert's Great Movies IV
Favs/dislikes: 11:0. Below is a subset of Roger Ebert's list of great films containing those not covered by books I, II, or III. May he rest in peace. -
Ebert's Original 100 Great Movies
Favs/dislikes: 30:0. Below is a subset of Roger Ebert's list of great films containing only those in his book "The Great Movies", published in 2002. The Apu Trilogy, Decalogue, and Up Documentaries are all broken out separately, hence more than 100 listings. An excerpt from Ebert's introduction to the book: "They are not 'the' 100 greatest films of all time, because all lists of great movies are a foolish attempt to codify works which must stand alone. But it's fair to say: If you want to make a tour of the landmarks of the first century of cinema, start here." -
European Nightmares - Horror Cinema in Europe since 1945 - Filmography (2012)
Favs/dislikes: 4:0. Edited by Patricia Allmer, David Huxley and Emily Brick. This volume is the first edited collection of essays focusing on European horror cinema from 1945 to the present. It features new contributions by distinguished international scholars exploring British, French, Spanish, Italian, German and Northern European and Eastern European horror cinema. The essays employ a variety of current critical methods of analysis, ranging from psychoanalysis and Deleuzean film theory to reception theory and historical analysis. The complete volume offers a major resource on post-war European horror cinema, with in-depth studies of such classic films as Seytan (Turkey, 1974), Suspiria (Italy, 1977), Switchblade Romance (France, 2003), and Taxidermia (Hungary, 2006). -

Gothic Cinema Filmography (Routledge Film Guidebooks) (2020)
Favs/dislikes: 2:0. Unranked. By Xavier Aldana Reyes. Arguing for the need to understand Gothic cinema as an aesthetic mode, this book explores its long history, from its transitional origins in phantasmagoria shows and the first ‘trick’ films to its postmodern fragmentation in the Gothic pastiches of Tim Burton. This groundbreaking book is the first thorough chronological, transhistorical and transnational study of Gothic cinema, ideal for both new and seasoned scholars, as well as those with a wider interest in the Gothic. -
Grand Prix - Belgian critics association
Favs/dislikes: 4:0. The Grand Prix is an award presented annually by the Belgian Film Critics Association, an organization of film critics from publications based in Brussels, Belgium. The Grand Prix was introduced in 1954 by the organizing committee to honor the "film that contributed the most to the enrichment and influence of cinema". In December of each year, the organization meets to vote for films released in the previous calendar year. To determine the nominations, ballots are sent in by the members – select knowledgeable film enthusiasts, academics, filmmakers, and journalists – and subsequently tabulated in order to decide the winner. Looking at some of the older entries, it's clear that back in those days the release date in some countries was years after the original release date. -

Metacritic Best of 2017: Film Critic Top Ten Lists
Favs/dislikes: 2:0. Metacritic's running tally of the films most frequently mentioned by individual critics on the year-end Top Ten lists. "Note that if a critic ranks more than the standard 10 films, we will not include films ranked 11th or worse. (We do include unranked lists of 11-20 titles, though each film gets just one-half of a point.) In case of a tie for first or second, each film will receive the full points for that position. Our points system works as follows: 3 points for each 1st place ranking 2 points for each 2nd place ranking 1 point for being ranked 3rd - 10th, or for being included on an unranked list of 10 or fewer titles 0.5 points for being included on an unranked list of 11-20 titles" -
Mlive Best Films of the Decade 2000s
Favs/dislikes: 1:0. Best-of-the-year lists are tough enough to compile, but best-of-the-decade? It's an exquisite form of torture for those of us who watched thousands of films since 2000, truly loved dozens of them and now have to whittle it down to 10 and a fistful of honorable mentions. -

Here below the reflections of past masters jostle with bold experiments from new voices – capped by a triumphant top movie that finds its British female director both looking back and moving forward. In our January 2020 issue we spotlight some of the themes and stories that have defined the cinema of 2019 – from post-#MeToo movies to the fortunes of the European arthouse, as well as expanded cinema and a countdown of the best TV of the year. -
The A List - National Society of Film Critics' 100 Essential Films
Favs/dislikes: 7:0. This is the Amazon book description for "The A List", published in 2002: People love movies. People love lists. So The A-List is a natural. While there are plenty of encyclopedic lists of films, this compulsively readable book of 100 essays—most written expressly for this volume-flags the best of the best as chosen by a consensus of the National Society of Film Critics. The Society is a world-renowned, marquee—name organization embracing some of America's most distinguished critics: more than forty writers who have national followings as well as devoted local constituencies in such major cities as New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Boston, Philadelphia, Atlanta, and Minneapolis. But make no mistake about it: This isn't a collection of esoteric "critic's choice" movies. The Society has made its selections based on a film's intrinsic merits, its role in the development of the motion-picture art, and its impact on culture and society. Some of the choices are controversial. So are some of the omissions. It will be a jumping-off point for discussions for years to come. And since the volume spans all international films from the very beginning, it will act as a balance to recent guides dominated by films of the last two decades (hardly film's golden age). Here is a book that is definitely ready for its close-up.
