Film Studies Association of Canada's Top 100 Films
Favs/dislikes: 8:0. I humbly submit my latest attempt at making a "100 Best Films" list. I understand why most intelligent film scholars reject list-making and canon formation altogether. I do it mainly because I'm appalled at all of the lists I see in print. The AFI Best 100 American Films is, of course, the worst of the well-known examples because it was a totally corrupt exercise at promoting Hollywood (Major) studio films that were already available on video. It did nothing to help preserve and distribute worthy and lesser-known titles. I also have problems in producing a list of only 100 films. The BFI idea of creating a repertory of 360 films for every (non-holi)day of the year is a great one, but unfortunately, theirs is much too heavily weighted towards Hollywood product -- over one third of the titles are American (139). My own film studies formation (at Concordia and NYU) led me to see more American and French films than any other, and most people would agree that in the historical development of film style, they are the two key nations. But the Hollywood dominance of "best films" lists has become unacceptable. (And, I am sure that if FSAC were to do a compilation of their own members' choices, we would see a similar trend.) My list reflects a choice of films which, for me, represents the development of "Film as Art" whatever that might mean. I regret the exclusion of animated films÷I considered including one or two titles, but in the end decided it was best for me to stay away from a field I know very little about. I didn't deliberately exclude "entertainment" -- approximately a quarter of my list could classify here -- but this was not a major consideration. Peter Rist Concordia University -
Flicker Alley DVD Catalog
Favs/dislikes: 17:0. Flicker Alley is an American DVD company whose primary focus is on releasing films from the silent era, with an emphasis on works of very early cinema (almost half of these titles are by Georges Melies.) In the words of Flicker Alley itself: "Flicker Alley was born out of a passion for cinematic history and a desire to bring filmmakers and films from out of the past to new audiences and renewed recognition. The company was founded in 2002 by Jeffery Masino who drew on a lifelong enthusiasm and fascination with silent, classic, and independent cinema as well as on many years of experience in film and television production and post-production."

Israeli Film: A Reference Guide
Favs/dislikes: 8:0. From the book "Israeli Film: A Reference Guide" by Amy Kronish and Costel Safirman. "Israeli cinema is a central tool for understanding the contemporary challenges facing Israeli society as it has developed its identity during the past decades. Although films can be considered individual pieces of work, we can gain a unique perspective on the nation's society through a careful analysis of the subject matter, issues, and styles of expression of this unique medium. Since its inception, Israeli cinema has been occupied with the hardships of an ongoing war, problems of Jewish-Arab relations, and the major survival issues of the state. Despite this focus, Israeli filmmaking is in fact much more complex and varied. Indeed, it covers a wide spectrum of issues that have developed during the 70 years during the production of its first feature film. Israeli Film: A Reference Guide provides a survey of all major films made in Israel, as well as biographies of major Israeli filmmakers and an overview essay summarizing major trends in Israeli film—and, in doing so, offers a commentary on social trends, historical challenges, and societal issues."
