    Out at Criterion

    Favs/dislikes: 2:0. From 1961's groundbreaking Victim to trailblazing modern romances, these are the LGBTQ films out on Criterion. In 1961, Basil Dearden’s Victim became the first mainstream English-language drama to feature a sympathetic homosexual protagonist, played by matinee idol Dirk Bogarde. In 2011, Andrew Haigh’s boy-meets-boy romance Weekend defied expectations to become a crossover art-house hit. The fact that, fifty years after Victim, Weekend is also considered groundbreaking is evidence of how far cinema may still have to go in terms of gay representation. But between these two revelatory films, there have been plenty of other important and entertaining ones made about gay, lesbian, and bisexual people, and several of them are available in the Criterion Collection, including works by trailblazers like Robert Epstein, Derek Jarman, and Gus van Sant. Films listed alphabetically by Criterion's title. At the end are two collections: Pasolini 101 (9 films) and The Signifyin’ Works of Marlon Riggs (7 films) [url=https://www.criterion.com/explore/181-out-at-criterion]Old Source[/url]

    Slant's The 100 Best Films of the 1980s

    Favs/dislikes: 3:0. In 2019, Billboard teamed up with SiriusXM to determine the 500 best songs of the 1980s, with Olivia Newton-John’s 1981 pop hit “Physical” topping the list. It’s an apt choice for many reasons, foremost among them that the ‘80s, if mainstream American filmmaking from the era is any indication, might be called the decade of the body—of turning away from the more cerebral, auteurist cinema of the New Hollywood and toward star-driven genre vehicles, featuring the likes of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Tom Cruise, and Melanie Griffith, who in Brian De Palma’s delirious Body Double plays a porn star named—wait for it—Holly Body. Conventional historical accounts of the decade see this transformation through the lens of box office, as studio practices tended toward market saturation, and stardom became dependent on the potential to make viewers feel rather than think. But that narrative overlooks the plethora of small, seedy gems made by Hollywood filmmakers starring well-known actors still vying to challenge audiences with daring visions of the modern world. Such as William Friedkin’s Cruising, Michael Mann’s Thief, and Martin Scorsese’s After Hours, whose nocturnal animals discover new, and often unwanted, shades of themselves while moving through city streets. If the neon-lit cityscape is an essential image in ‘80s films for the way it expresses the allure and danger of living by night, it also points up how a fear of AIDS—and its association with city life—leapt into the collective consciousness. Maybe that’s partly why Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner seems to epitomize ‘80s aesthetics for many: The replicant, whose body often looks like an ideal and healthy human, is actually a machine. The city, though, need not be essential for the metaphor to work. In fact, author John Kenneth Muir argues that, in a film like John Carpenter’s The Thing, which is set in Antarctica, the necessity of a blood test to determine “what is really going on inside the human body” could be understood as a direct reference to the AIDS epidemic. If that potentially sounds like a grim diagnosis of the decade’s films, it actually points to the vitality of the decade’s cinematic artistry, as filmmakers from across the globe emerged to share their haunted visions of sex, music, and voyeurism. In France, Jean-Jacques Beineix, Leos Carax, and Luc Besson each helped create cinéma du look as a hybrid strain of popular and art cinema with a lush visual style. Meanwhile, aging master Robert Bresson was making his last (and arguably finest) film. In Canada, David Cronenberg showed us how exploding heads, penetrative home video, and wayward twin gynecologists could encapsulate various maladies of the times. And in Taiwan, Edward Yang and Hou Hsiao-hsien were at the forefront of New Taiwanese Cinema, diagnosing the twin poles of urbanization and globalization as they started to define contemporary life. The number of singular filmmakers who emerged in the decade is extensive. Auteurs such as Abbas Kiarostami and Souleymane Cissé created works that helped further introduce the realities of their respective countries to audiences around the globe, while, back in the U.S., Lizzie Borden and Donna Deitch were making their first feature films, each of which has endured as a classic of queer cinema. The decade’s films help us understand that, in order to see all titles of consequence, one needs to remain open to movies playing at the multiplex, the arthouse, and the grindhouse. The latter includes numerous slasher films, itself a subgenre enamored with the dangers and pleasures of the flesh. We must remember that, sometimes, wisdom comes from unlikely places, so consider this seemingly throwaway line from 1982’s The Slumber Party Massacre as words to live by: “It’s not the size of your mouth; it’s what’s in it that counts.” Clayton Dillard Published on April 23, 2020 By Staff
  5. FSR: Top 5 Films by Country's icon

    FSR: Top 5 Films by Country

    Favs/dislikes: 4:0. [b]Fergenaprido's Significance Rating - Top 5 Films by Country/Territory[/b] This started out as a personal goal to see the top five films of each country, using imdb data. After they removed the weighted rankings beyond the Top 250, I created my own formula to try to balance each rating and it's number of votes, in order to make films more comparable. I settled upon the formula of SR=(EXP(rating)*(LN(votes))/100). Why that particular formula? I tinkered around with different variations, I prefer using ln instead of log, and this formula ended up with a fairly approximate order similar to imdb's weighted formula. Here are the top five films from major and minor film countries. My current minimum number of votes is 5,000, for major countries, and less for minor countries. I excluded countries where there weren't enough films with at least 50 votes, as the SR wasn't reliable enough to rank them. I do exclude films that have had voter manipulation, but I don't exclude those rated highly because of enthusiasm from their home country (i.e. "mafias"). Not meant to be definitive, just a fun side project for me, and I decided to move it from my spreadsheet to icm this year. Feature-length films only (including documentaries). I collect the imdb data on May 1st each year, and update this list shortly thereafter. Films are listed by significance rating within each country, except section B, where films with 1,000+ ratings are listed first. I also adhere to a "1 country/territory per film" rule - I may not always get it right. Former countries (Yugoslavia, Soviet Union, etc.) that have successor states are allocated to their successor state by studio. Former countries (East Germany, North Vietnam, etc.) that were absorbed by another country are listed separately. Countries & Territories included, sorted alphabetically (by code) per section: Section A (1-205): at least 10 films with 5,000+ votes, 5 films per country (41 countries).

We wanted to present other little known noir films from around the world. If you’re seeking international greats beyond classics like The Third Man, read on. Please note that we ventured into neo-noir territory a few times (and assumed you already know movies like the late noirs of Jean-Pierre Melville and company), but only because it’s worth it. The far-reaching influence of noir cinema is astounding and continues to be an international phenomenon. Note: The list appears to be unranked.

    Favs/dislikes: 7:0. "You’re stuck inside, saving the world. So we asked a group of award-winning Pixar filmmakers to help self-isolating families plan the very best movie nights (and days, and nights, and days…). We asked a group of the renowned studio’s directors and story artists—the people behind WALL·E, Finding Nemo, Inside Out, Bao, La Luna, The Good Dinosaur, Purl, Cars 3, Toy Story 4 and more—to show up in your hour of need, and show up they have, with personal recommendations that we’ve split into three Letterboxd lists: All Ages, 7 to 12 Years and 12 Years and Over. From two-minute shorts to the entire Harry Potter collection, there’s something for every viewing window. From Charlie Chaplin to Greta Gerwig, the films cover a century of cinema; and from slapstick to horror, a multitude of genres. Our filmmakers were remarkably restrained, nominating more Studio Ghibli films than Pixar movies, though they collectively agreed that Toy Story should most definitely be there. So we’ll say it for them: please explore all the films of our contributing filmmakers: Angus MacLane, Domee Shi, Kristen Lester, Daniel Chong, Peter Sohn, Valerie LaPointe, Brian Fee, Enrico Casarosa and Andrew Stanton. Thanks, you wonderful people." This list combines all three individual lists that Letterboxd created with the Pixar directors. Some film series explicitly include all films in the series, even though only the first film is included in the Letterboxd lists (see their notes for more information): Back to the Future, Indiana Jones, and Harry Potter.

    Metro Weekly's 20 Gay Short Films Everyone Should See

    Favs/dislikes: 1:0. Short on length, big on impact, these gay films are a must-see By Rhuaridh Marr and Randy Shulman on February 19, 2015 “I’m not sure that these are the greatest LGBT films ever,” says Jon Gann. “To me they are significant. I like them because they are about the entire community. In some of the stories, the LGBT portion is very small, but the LGBT component is really critical to how the story unfolds.” best, gay films, gay movies, gay film, gay movie Illustration by Christopher Cunetto Since 2009, just prior to the Oscars, we’ve occasionally put together lists of “25 Gay Films Everyone Should See.” When it came time for this year’s list, we thought we’d give feature films a break and turn our attention to an oft-neglected, but much beloved category — the short. And who better to curate our mini-festival for us than Gann, executive director of DC Shorts, which, every fall, stages a massive, citywide shorts festival. Gann (see profile, page 20) unearthed 20 LGBT nuggets for us to review, and while, as with any collection of shorts, the quality varies considerably, the collection as a whole captures the entire gamut of the LGBT experience. The beauty of a short film — most of which range from 2 to 20 minutes — is that even if they’re not perfect, they can be easily endured and then you’re onto the next. It takes a special gift to craft a cogent narrative, to capture a powerful emotion, to convey an idea in a film whose average length is 9 minutes. So, when a filmmaker gets it right — such as Carlos Molina with the unnerving thriller Red or Lance Larson with the emotionally raw Bloom or Arnaud Lalanne with the blissful La Princesse — you have to admire the craftsmanship at work. Yes, short films are sometimes easy to figure out — when the genre is specifically LGBT, it can be hard to truly surprise your viewer — but look beyond that and, in the fleeting moments you spend with each film, absorb what the filmmaker is trying to impart. A link and instructions on how to stream or download the shorts are available after this feature. Read our thoughts on each, then follow the link at the bottom of this page to enjoy all 20 shorts, courtesy of DC Shorts. No matter how you digest these shorts — in bitesize nuggets, or one long session, on iPad, computer, or even via Chromecast — it’s an experience worth having. With 20 films from across the gay spectrum, it’s three hours of LGBT cinema that won’t leave you feeling shortchanged.

    Men's Health's The 45 Best Teen Movies of All Time

    Favs/dislikes: 2:0. BY TEMI ADEBOWALE, EVAN ROMANO AND ADRIANNA FREEDMAN SEP 25, 2020 Teen movies are great because while the category can definitely stand on its own, teen movies can also easily fall into other genres—horror, comedy, romance, drama—and the best teen movies combine elements of several genres. There's also something about watching a coming of age film that is all too relatable, from the social insecurity to the butting of heads with parents who just don't understand. In 2019, TV psychologist Honey Langcaster-James talked to Refinery 29 about the allure of teen movies: "One of the things that we do with entertainment is we gain mastery over potentially difficult emotions. Some people wonder why anybody would ever want to watch a horror movie or a thriller. Why would you want to sit and be scared? But there is an element of reassurance in being able to experience those emotions from a removed perspective and I wonder if the same can be said for teen fiction. Through the processes of empathy with the character, you're experiencing those emotions that were challenging. But now, from this more mature perspective, you're gaining an opportunity to master those emotions that you once felt so consumed by and now can have a more detached and bemused look upon that time in your life." To celebrate the genre, three of our editors came together make a list of our favorite teen films. This list can't cover every single teen movie, but we hope it contains some of your favorites, as well as some new picks for you to check out. So without further ado, here are the 45 best teen films of all time.

    100 Essential New Zealand Films

    Favs/dislikes: 6:0. Book by Hamish McDouall Published October 2009 This is a collection of 100 films - features, documentaries and shorts. As such, it is a subjective list of "essential" titles and since limited to 100, some of your favourites will be missing. Given that, it contains some very helpful summaries and reviews of films you should experience. The author states that he "make(s) no apologies for not including ... '[url=https://www.icheckmovies.com/movies/footrot+flats+the+dogs+tale/]Footrot Flats[/url]', but does not explain why. If you meet him, will you ask him and let me know. That aside, perhaps this book is covering too much ground and would have been better off limiting its coverage to feature films, even if that included feature documentaries. Given the number of New Zealand short films, that group should have its own book. An excellent index has been included, but more viewing, rental and purchase sources are needed. With the shortage of reviews for many of these titles, the major contribution of Mr. McDouall's book is his commentaries on the films. They will assist in helping you learn about some New Zealand film gems and just might give you that push to see something you have yet to experience. Do yourself a favour and start by giving this a read. Films are listed in alphabetical order. The Lord of the Rings trilogy is counted as a single entry.

    Venice Film Festival Queer Lion Award

    Favs/dislikes: 2:0. The Queer Lion Award was created in 2007 thanks to the efforts of Daniel N. Casagrande, journalist and film critic, and Marco Müller, back then director of the Venice Film Festival, as a collateral prize for the “Best Film with Homosexual & Queer Culture Contents”. From the [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queer_Lion]Wikipedia article[/url]: All the movies containing LGBTQ themes, stories, plots, or characters, presented in any of the sections of the Venice Film Festival are considered eligible for the award. Specifically, these sections are: Concorso (Competition), Fuori Concorso (Out of Competition), Orizzonti (Horizons), Controcampo italiano (Italian Reverse Shot), Giornate degli Autori (Venice Days), and Settimana Internazionale della Critica (International Critics' Week). The Queer Lion jury, composed of journalists, directors, critics, persons with a deep knowledge of cinema, views all the movies deemed to contain noteworthy LGBTQ elements during the Venice Film Festival, picking the "best film" among them.

    Suphannahong Award - Best Thai Film

    Favs/dislikes: 2:0. From Wikipedia: The first film awards dedicated specifically to Thai films was inspired by Thailand's hosting of the 23rd Asia-Pacific Film Festival in 1977. The Film Producers Association of Thailand then hosted the first Golden Suphannahong Awards in 1979, using the same trophy design created earlier for the Asia-Pacific Film Festival. The Golden Suphannahong Awards were held a total of seven times, and ceased after 1988 when the Film Producers Association stepped back from its de facto leadership role in the Thai film industry. The Federation of National Film Associations (now the MPC), which took over that role, began presenting a new series of awards, known as the National Film Awards, in 1992 (for films released in 1991). The ceremony was held in association with the Office of the Prime Minister's Film Promotion Board and the government public relations department, and the first awards were presented by Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn. It employed a "Milkyway to the Stars" symbol for its trophies. The awards were held annually for nine years, but was halted in 2001 as the Thai film industry produced few films in 2000. The federation took over responsibility for the event and resumed the awards in 2002. It re-adopted the Suphannahong as its trophy, now redesigned in a more modern style. The awards, now known as the Suphannahong National Film Awards, have been held annually since.
