Amos Vogel's Film as a Subversive Art (1974)
Favs/dislikes: 3:0. Original 1974 version. This presentation of the book is very similar to the official iCM-list version. The main difference (and basically the only difference) is that this version include an additional 22 entries (examples of non-subversive films) which the official list version excludes (also, the order of the entries is slightly different). In other words, this list includes ALL films mentioned regardless if they are subversive or not. However, some films (or "entries" to be more precise) are not on IMDb yet, or appear in the book with unidentifiable stills (see bottom of list description). Films are sorted by the order they appear in the book. In some cases, the same film is discussed several times in different sections throughout the book (Blowup, 2001: A Space Odyssey, L'âge d'or, W.R. etc. They are listed here by their FIRST appearance in the book regardless if the film is discussed more thoroughly at a later stage in the book. #1-24: Acknowledgements, Preface and "The World View of Subversive Cinema" #1-2: Front cover and Back cover (and also mentioned in Acknowledgements). #25-193 :Part One - The Subversion of Form #25-37: Revolutionary Film Avant-garde in Soviet Russia #38-98: Aesthetic Rebels and Rebellious Clowns #99-117: The Destruction of Time and Space #118-131: The Destruction of Plot and Narrative #132-141: The Assault of Montage #142-160: The Triumph and Death of the Moving Camera #161-162: The Devaluation of Language #163-193: Straining towards the Limits #194-386: Part Two - The Subversion of Content #194: International Left and Revolutionary Cinema #195-257: Left and Revolutionary Cinema: the West #258-307: Left and Revolutionary Cinema: the East #308-332: Left and Revolutionary Cinema: Third World #333-338: East Germany: Against the West #339-352: Nazi Cinema #353-386: Secrets and Revelations #387-599: Part Three - Forbidden Subjects of the Cinema #387-403: The Visual Taboo #404-423: Nudity #424-468: Erotic and Pornographic Cinema #469-508: Homosexuality and Other Variants #509-514: The First Mystery: Birth #515-547: The Ultimate Secret: Death #548-575: The Attack on God #576-599: Trance and Witchcraft #600-621: Part Four - Towards a New Consciousness #600-619: Counterculture and Avant-garde #620-621: The Subversion of Subversion -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Films mentioned in the original version but not included in the revised version and/or iCM version: Staroye i novoye (Old and New) Alexander Nevsky Battleship Potemkin Ivan the Terrible Part 1 Ivan the Terrible Part 2 The Great Train Robbery Das blaue Licht Intolerance Cleopatra Der blaue Engel Gone with the Wind The Sound of Music Journal d'un curé de campagne If... O Lucky Man! The Graduate Romeo and Juliet Lebenszeichen Love Story Tout va bien ¡Que viva México! The Second in Command (The Second Coming) ...for a total of 22 additional entries compared to the iCM-version. "Nachts, wenn Dracula erwacht" page 87; never explicitly mentioned but referred to when discussing Pere Portabella's "Cuadecuc, vampir". It IS mentioned in the revised version however. "Der geile Wotan" is included here as it is mentioned and referred to, but is in fact a faulty entry (correctly replaced by the correct film "SS und Judenstern" in the revised iCM-version), page 254. Unidentifiable Keystone Film circa 1915 (page 50-51, featured still) is in fact "In the Clutches of the Gang". Unknown films/entries: UFA Newsreel, 1940 (page 194) Unidentified Nazi documentary footage (page 278) Unidentified Nazi documentary footage (page 280) Entries that aren't on IMDb: Beaver Films (Stag, 1970, USA), page 221; revised version list the years as 1967-72. The None Story (Stag, 1950s, USA), page 225; titled "The Nun's Story" in the revised version. -
Time Out’s The 100 Best Thrillers
Favs/dislikes: 29:3. Everyone has their favourite genre but we can surely all agree that thrillers are the best. And if you don’t believe us, there’s a suspicious figure in that darkened doorway who’d like a word. From the early classics, like Alfred Hitchcock’s The Lodger or Fritz Lang’s M, to the films of David Fincher and Martin Scorsese, they’re rich in nerve-shredding, adrenaline-pumping rides into the darker recesses of the psyche. Thrillers show us horrors and weave in human dramas, but they use those raw materials to forge something particular: a sense of unease and suspense. With masterful control of those elements, Hitchcock could manipulate his audiences like puppets on a string, delivering shocks that reverberate through cinema history. Fincher’s Seven and Zodiac have carried on the legacy, while films like Pig, Nightmare Alley and The Card Counter show that the thriller is the genre for all eras. Even superhero flicks, like Captain America: Civil War and The Batman, have been borrowing liberally from the crime thriller. It is, unlike many of its ill-fated characters, alive and well. But what are the very best of them? As we’ve done with science fiction, horror films, romances, comedies, westerns and war films, we’ve dusted cinema for prints and taken a magnifying glass to its finest thrillers to boil them down to a tonne of all-timers. On the list? Murder, political intrigue, espionage, conspiracy, manipulation, gaslighting and, of course, crime. Lots of crime. Enjoy – and hold on tight.

Time Out's The 101 Best Action Movies Ever Made
Favs/dislikes: 39:0. "They get a bad rap from snobs, but don’t mess with action movies—they’re pumped up, loaded with ammo and in your face like Arnold Schwarzenegger on a bad day. Truth be told, no one can live solely on Woody Allen movies or animation alone. We need explosions periodically. Big ones. Preferably accompanied by catchphrases and squealing electric guitars. With crucial contributions from Hong Kong and France, the genre has a global richness that sneaks up on you like a swarthy henchman with a knife clenched between his teeth. And when we arrived at action’s ’80s movies heyday, when Hollywood stars ruled the roost, our research was euphoric. We’ve polled over 50 experts in the field, from essential directors like Die Hard’s John McTiernan to the actual folks in the line of fire, such as Machete himself, Danny Trejo. Critics and experts have weighed in, too." The list has 102 titles because Kill Bill was counted as one entry. List was last updated August 14 2020 Modnote about list order: When Timeout changed the web formatting of the list from its previous pagination the ordering of each group of 10 got reversed. The list here is in it's original correct ordering. [url=https://www.timeout.com/film/the-101-best-action-movies-ever-made]Source[/url] -
Kenneth Turan's Not to be Missed: Fifty-four Favorites from a Lifetime of Film
Favs/dislikes: 6:0. "Turan, film critic for the Los Angeles Times since 1991 and a regular contributor of reviews to NPR, approaches movies, as did the late Roger Ebert, on their own terms, trying to understand what a filmmaker is trying to do and assessing a movie’s success or failure in light of its maker’s intent. This book isn’t a collection of film reviews per se; it’s a look at Turan’s personal favorites, which range from the easily recognizable (The Godfather, All about Eve, Casablanca, Unforgiven, Vertigo) to the for-devoted-film-fans-only (The Dybbuk, Seven Men from Now, The Best of Youth).

Favs/dislikes: 60:13. All the comedies mentioned in the filmography of the book "Film Comedy" by Geoff King, published in 2002. "From slapstick to satire and subtle innuendo. From the grotesque to the carefully mannered. From madcap anarchy to the darkly deadpan. Film comedy comes in a wide range of forms. For as long as film has existed as an entertainment medium, so has film comedy. ... Comedy was one of the most popular formats in the early years of cinema and has remained so ever since."

1001 movies you must see before you die (all editions)
Favs/dislikes: 165:1. The famous book of Schneider "1001 movies you must see before you die" has several editions. Every few years a new edition is published with new titles (after removing some other titles). Also there are editions especially for a certain country with additional titles from that country. In this list I'll try to collect as many titles as possible that were in at least one edition of this book. So far I included, apart from the original US editions (rank 1-1250), the Dutch (rank 1251-1261), the Swedish (rank 1262-1283), the Greek (rank 1284-1325), the Norwegian (rank 1326-1332), the Finnish (rank 1333-1351), the Danish (rank 1352-1363), the Brazilian (rank 1364-1375), the Hungarian (rank 1376-1381) and the French (rank 1382-1398) editions. I found information about the Portuguese, Spanish, Slovanian, Croatian, Turkish and Polish editions, but these didn't have additional titles. I’ll search for more editions. If you’ve got information about any other, please let me know. -

Favs/dislikes: 5:1. "The study of cinematic style has profoundly shaped our attitude toward movies. Style assigns films to a tradition, distinguishes a classic, and signals the arrival of a pathbreaking innovation.
