Take One's The Beginnings of the Beginnings: Canada's Top 10 Fiction Feature Film Debuts Since 1968
Favs/dislikes: 1:0. by Tom McSorley Take One December 2003-March 2004 Issue In thinking about a list of the Top 10 debut fiction features since 1968 from the perpetually troubled, utterly indomitable Canadian feature film industry, it is appropriate to borrow the title of Peter Harcourt's seminal article comparing Gille Groulx's [url=https://www.icheckmovies.com/movies/le+chat+dans+le+sac/]Le Chat dans le sac[/url] and Don Owen's [url=https://www.icheckmovies.com/movies/nobody+waved+good-bye/]Nobody Waved Good-Bye[/url], two remarkable first features that arrived four years earlier. In "1964: The Beginning of a Beginning," Harcourt identifies the cultural and political implications of the start, however accidental and clandestine it may have been (given both films were intended to be documentaries), of something vitally important to a still very young Canadian cinematic culture: the possibilities of creating relevant, recognizably Canadian fiction feature films. ... This particular Top 10 list, initiated by the Canadian Film Centre on the 10th anniversary of its Feature Film Project and, coincidentally, the 35th birthday of Telefilm Canada, focuses its attention on the best debut fiction features produced in this country since money first began to trickle out of the CFDC. Film Centre executive Wayne Clarkson realizes full well that Canadian feature film history did not begin with the CFDC, but, as he says, "it did begin to become more consistent in terms of actual production activity with respect to feature films." Moreover, in any process of list-making, Clarkson emphasizes, there is that inevitable "combination of pleasing thoughts about what's included and the disappoint of what's not. For example, we should make special mention of three films in particular that came very close: Michel Brault's [url=https://www.icheckmovies.com/movies/entre+la+mer+et+leau+douce/]Entre la mer et l'eau douce[/url] (1968), Thom Fitzgerald's [url=https://www.icheckmovies.com/movies/the+hanging+garden/]The Hanging Garden[/url] (1997) and Don McKellar's [url=https://www.icheckmovies.com/movies/last+night/]Last Night[/url] (1998), which I consider one of the best debut films ever. My note: Atanarjuat isn't actually Kunuk's debut fiction feature, but it seems that was not well-known at the time. He'd made two shorter hour-long dramas a decade earlier. Or perhaps they were dismissed as "medium-length films", which they also did with Cronenberg, as mentioned in the article. -
Taste of Cinema's The 25 Best Brazilian Movies of All Time
Favs/dislikes: 4:0. Brazilian cinema is rich in themes, although many people think it is usually reduced to violence and poverty. The truth is that many directors are unable to make their work commercially available, a few can manage to go through the funnel, going beyond film festivals. There is a mass of Brazilian intellectuals who despise the genre cinema, teachers of film schools stimulate in their students this wrong attitude. A new generation of critics, of which i am a part, is struggling daily to change this sad reality in the long run. Some of these movies that I selected are not even remembered by these veteran professionals, but they demonstrate the versatility, courage and good humor of these artists, usually working with very small budget. From the silent age to the modern times, all genres, drama, romance, thriller, comedy, horror, documentary, children’s movies and action extravaganzas. Here are the 25 greatest brazilian films ranked from good to best. -

The Beauty of the Real: What Hollywood Can Learn from Contemporary French Actresses
Favs/dislikes: 6:0. The Beauty of the Real: What Hollywood Can Learn from Contemporary French Actresses is a book by Mick LaSalle, film critic for the San Francisco Chronicle and Hearst Newspapers, that highlights an explosion of female talent in French cinema. Scores of French actresses are doing the best work of their lives in movies tailored to their star images and unique personalities. To spend time with them, to admire their flashing intelligence and fearless willingness to depict life as it is lived, gives us what we're looking for in movies but so rarely find: insights into womanhood, meditations on the dark and light aspect's of life's journey, revelations and explorations that move viewers to reflect on their own lives. The stories they bring to the screen leave us feeling renewed and excited about movies again. This list below is from Appendix Two of LaSalle's book. It includes films that are available in English subtitled editions and are mentioned in his book or his suggestions that did not make the text. -

The Disregarded Movies of Turkish Cinema
Favs/dislikes: 4:0. "In its first years Turkish cinema has found its subjects from plays and novels and began to be affected by the works admired by the world over time. Especially the Turks imitating the West tried to re-produce the successful fantastical and sciencefictional movies achieved to draw attention of the target audience. However because of the lack of techniques and technicians, they are labeled as “bad” movies by the critics when compared to the contemporaries in the world.

The Harris Poll America's Favorite Movie
Favs/dislikes: 1:0. This Harris Poll was conducted online, in English, within the United States between November 12 and 17, 2014 among 2,276 adults (aged 18 and over). Figures for age, sex, race/ethnicity, education, region and household income were weighted where necessary to bring them into line with their actual proportions in the population. Propensity score weighting was also used to adjust for respondents' propensity to be online. All sample surveys and polls, whether or not they use probability sampling, are subject to multiple sources of error which are most often not possible to quantify or estimate, including sampling error, coverage error, error associated with nonresponse, error associated with question wording and response options, and post-survey weighting and adjustments. Therefore, The Harris Poll avoids the words "margin of error" as they are misleading. All that can be calculated are different possible sampling errors with different probabilities for pure, unweighted, random samples with 100% response rates. These are only theoretical because no published polls come close to this ideal. Respondents for this survey were selected from among those who have agreed to participate in Harris Poll surveys. The data have been weighted to reflect the composition of the adult population. Because the sample is based on those who agreed to participate in our panel, no estimates of theoretical sampling error can be calculated. -
The Indian Express 75 Movies That Celebrate The Journey of India
Favs/dislikes: 4:0. a.k.a. Shubhra Gupta’s pick: Across 7 decades, 75 films that celebrate the journey of India. As a celebration of her platinum jubilee, here’s my movie map of India that I’ve drawn through 75 films. If you were to see these movies, reflecting as many themes and genres I have been able to include, you would get an idea of the journey of the nation, as it has lurched and progressed through these decades. Some films draw an unerring bead on intractable societal problems. Some show us just what was considered the acme of entertainment at the time they came out. Some are unabashed mainstream blockbusters. Some are strictly arthouse. And they all tell stories. Most of these films are in Hindi, because that’s the cinema I know best: I have also tried to include iconic films from other languages. Of course, there will be omissions. Please do overlook those, and take me up on the commissions. Here we go: -
