Top 10 Craziest Docuseries You Need to Binge
Favs/dislikes: 1:1. As these shows prove, truth is often stranger than fiction. Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we’ll be counting down our picks for the Top 10 Most Bingeable and Insane Docuseries Ever. For this list, we’ll be looking at documentary series that tackle larger-than-life and shocking subject matter, making for must-watch television. Please note, we’re exclusively looking at docuseries, not documentary features or short films. As such, “Long Shot” and “Fyre” won’t be considered, despite both making for an insane viewing experience. We’ll try to keep spoilers to a minimum, but please note that some are inevitable. -

10 Great Anti-Detective Films For The Post-Truth Era
Favs/dislikes: 4:0. There is a moral in detective fiction perhaps put best by a slogan of The X-Files, a science fictional inheritor of the genre: The Truth is out there. More than the conviction of evidence for extraterrestrial life this is in the context of the show, this phrase also speaks to a belief in objective truth, and the knowability of this truth essential to the entire detective genre, to the implication of forces which conceal it, and the moral imperative of its pursuit. This is the project of the detective, a knight errant of the modern world who seeks the hidden coherency of truth from out of a web of disparate and often contradictory clues and in finding it, restores some justice, order, or at least sense to the world. Of course the genre’s moral core is often offset by its characteristic cynicism, where truth alone unbiased and pure may well be the only moral good. Where the hero is often positioned outside any law, private, unincorporated, as comfortable in the world of criminality as order, never above snooping, lying, breaking and entering, aiding or abetting in order to make a case, and devoted even to truth by profession alone, driven as much by mercenary selfishness as any moral force. Where the detective is just as often frustrated in their quest, if not by the all pervasive corruption of the law and its society of cheats, as in the ending of Polanski’s Chinatown, then by the ultimate inaccessibility of the facts. But even when frustrated, the detective still traditionally secures us within a world where truth exists as something objective and knowable and where there are those capable of and committed to its pursuit. But what happens when the detective enters a strange abstracting space where truth is no longer knowable or based on objective grounds, where contradictory truths seem to coexist, where paranoid fantasy replaces intuition, and the process of detection itself becomes suspect? These are the questions asked by a countercurrent of anti-detective films emerging in the 1960’s and 70’s art cinemas – striking a new resonance, and re-emerging in our current era of ‘post-truth’ – which in one way or another deconstruct the assumptions on which the genre is founded from the perspectives of a new skeptical relativism, not only as genre critique, but also as a repurposing of this now disemboweled form to new and creative ends. Through it all the detective persists, stubborn holdovers as they are from a world where truth was absolute. There is another slogan in The X-Files: I want to believe. Here is a list of ten anti-detective films to put Philip Marlowe on his ass. -

IndieWire's 38 Must-See New Movies to See This Fall Season
Favs/dislikes: 1:0. From select theatrical releases to VOD and virtual cinema offerings, this season promises to be different in many ways. One thing that hasn't changed: a wide selection of the best 2020 has to offer. By Kate Erbland, Eric Kohn, Anne Thompson, Zack Sharf, Christian Blauvelt, Ryan Lattanzio, Tambay Obenson, Bill Desowitz, Jude Dry, David Ehrlich, Chris O'Falt, Chris Lindahl Aug 18, 2020 10:00 am Much like this year’s truncated summer season, the 2020 fall movie-going season is going to look a bit different than it has in years past. While plenty of films have opted to set release dates in the thick of what has traditionally been the proving ground for the year’s biggest awards contenders, others are still holding back, or opting to pursue modified releases. Some films will be in theaters, while others are going for on demand releases or even virtual cinema bows. Many festivals, usually the first home of the films that will keep us talking for months to come, will be going virtual this year. Nevertheless, there are plenty of exciting movies coming out in the months ahead. These include the latest offerings from directors as far-reaching as Christopher Nolan, Charlie Kaufman, Chloe Zhao, Miranda July, Antonio Campos, Julie Taymor, and more. While the glut of blockbusters has slowed to a trickle, a big batch of festival darlings hoping to break into the mainstream are there to take their place. Of course, it remains to be seen just how this schedule will evolve in the coming weeks, but for now, there are dozens of films on their way that are worth looking forward to seeing, in whichever fashion they roll out. This list includes only films that have currently set a firm release date, though many of IndieWire’s most-anticipated 2020 films have yet to announce release plans, including Netflix heavy-hitters (“[url=https://www.icheckmovies.com/movies/ma+raineys+black+bottom/]Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom[/url],” “[url=https://www.icheckmovies.com/movies/the+midnight+sky/]The Midnight Sky[/url],” “[url=https://www.icheckmovies.com/movies/the+white+tiger/]The White Tiger[/url]”), films gearing up for festival runs (“[url=https://www.icheckmovies.com/movies/ammonite/]Ammonite[/url]”), projects that have already screened to acclaim (“[url=https://www.icheckmovies.com/movies/zola-2020/]Zola[/url]”), and others that are shrouded in mystery (like “[url=https://www.icheckmovies.com/movies/the+green+knight/]The Green Knight[/url]”), just to name a few. Of course, everything remains in flux, and as plans continue to change, this list will be updated. Whether that includes changing release dates, the method of a film’s release, or adding in some of those anticipated titles that have locked in an official date in 2020, this preview remains particularly fluid. For now, however, these are the films we are most excited to see in the coming months. Updated on November 5. -
IndieWire's The 40 Best Fantasy Movies of All Time
Favs/dislikes: 4:0. From Studio Ghibli classics to the two entries of the "Lord of the Rings" saga most deserving of inclusion, these movies took us to new worlds. IndieWire Staff Jul 2, 2020 9:00 am “Home is behind; the world ahead.” J.R.R. Tolkien’s motto in “The Lord of the Rings” also captures one of the things that’s so powerful and intoxicating about the art of movies itself: that feeling of leaping through the screen, leaving your life behind, and being immersed in something totally new. Escapism is often used as a dismissive term, even by those who use it endearingly. But the cinema has a capacity for escape unlike any other medium — shouldn’t that be embraced? The best fantasy filmmakers — Jean Cocteau, Guillermo del Toro, and Hayao Miyazaki, among so many others — understand the psychological power of escapism. Sometimes you need to step outside of yourself to look back in. The best escapist entertainments ultimately bring us back to ourselves. These 40 fantasy films open up new worlds and new paths of understanding and empathy. Space-borne fantasy — “Star Wars” and its ilk, a rich enough world to inspire its own list — is excluded here, as are films in which fantasy is expressed primarily as simply daydreams. These are triumphs of imagination and world-building that seem incapable of losing their power to enchant. -

Noirish: The Annex To John Grant's A Comprehensive Encyclopedia To Film Noir
Favs/dislikes: 8:0. "The purpose of Noirish is to act as an extension to the Encyclopedia -- an annex, if you like -- where I can add entries for movies that for one reason or another didn't make it into the printed book. In some instances, this is just because the movie concerned was released too late for inclusion. Most often, though, the reason was logistic. Although the Encyclopedia takes the broadest possible view of film noir, there were some movies that were either too obscure or too tangential to the theme to merit the use of precious page space: 800+ large-format pages -- nearly 700,000 words -- may seem a lot but, when you're trying to cover in excess of 3,000 movies, you soon learn to appreciate the constraints. That's why this enterprise has the title it has: Noirish. Many of the movies here are very borderline noir, and some aren't noir at all but have associational interest. Just because a movie's obscure doesn't mean it's lousy . . . although there'll be some lousy movies covered here. There'll also be plenty of movies that are, shall we say, undistinguished -- which is not to say they're without at least some points of interest, and certainly isn't to say they're not lots of fun to watch." -From John Grant on the site's "Modus Operandi" section *#641-687: Of Associated Interest - John Grant does not consider these films noir but has mentioned them due to similar themes, actors or influences. **The following are missing from IMDB: -The Twelve Shorts of Christmas #5: The Bloody Fish (2011) -Tango Silent Films: A Christmas Present for Hannah (2009), The Private Lesson (2010), Oh My, What a Night!

Collider's Great Films that Time Forgot
Favs/dislikes: 1:0. Collider is a popular blog run by film aficionados. Occasionally, its staff releases and revises lists of films they feel are great representations of their time periods or are of superb quality but have "slipped under the radar and have fallen into obscurity over the years". They have complied lists on films from the '70s, '80s, and '90s, as well as a short list on horror films. The sole criterion is the films must have under 10,000 votes on IMDb (for '90s films, the limit is raised to under 20,000). This list combines all the titles chronologically. -
