Portraits of America: Democracy on Film
Favs/dislikes: 0:0. Recently completing one of the longest shoots of his career with The Irishman, most other directors would consider that an accomplishment enough, but in between takes, Martin Scorsese somehow found time to construct a new curriculum as part of his “The Story of Movies” film course, produced with his company Film Foundation. This latest edition is “Portraits of America: Democracy on Film” and is free for students. However, if one would just like to follow along with their own personal screenings, the full list is available. “We all need to make sense of what we’re seeing. For young people born into this world now, it’s absolutely crucial that they get guided,” Scorsese says (via IndieWire). “They have to learn how to sort the differences between art and pure commerce, between cinema and content, between the secrets of images that are individually crafted and the secrets of images that are mass-produced. We want to teach our students to try and be critical thinkers, and now we have to teach them to be critical viewers as well.” Beginning with The Immigrant Experience and, of course, Charlie Chaplin’s The Immigrant, we move through The American Laborer, Civil Rights, The American Woman, Politicians and Demagogues, Soldiers and Patriots, The Press, then conclude with The Auteurs, and cheekily end with one of Scorsese’s own features. For students the course includes a number of chapters within each section for deeper study. Module 1: The Immigrant Experience (Films 1-5) Module 2: The American Laborer (Films 6-10) Module 3: Civil Rights (Films 11-14) Module 4: The American Woman (Films 15-21)* Module 5: Politicians and Demagogues (Films 22-25) Module 6: Soldiers and Patriots (Films 26-32)** Module 7: The Press (Films 33-37) Module 8: The Auteurs (Films 38-42) *Films 15-17 are grouped as a single chapter entitled "Through a Woman's Lens". **Films 27-29 are grouped as a single chapter entitled "Private Snafu's Private War - three Snafu Shorts from WWII". I don't know which 3 shorts are featured, so I added the first three produced. Full Curriculum here: https://www.storyofmovies.org/login?returnUrl=%2fportraits-of-america-democracy-on-film -
La vida útil's Top 20 Argentinian Films of the '80s
Favs/dislikes: 0:0. In English (via Google Translate): We decided to make a kind of canon over the period we were revising. For us it was a deep viewing, an experience at times not very rewarding and for others a little fun. It was even more intense than can be perceived in the texts. We could not choose twenty films that we fully defend to use as a declaration of principles. There are not so many. We have some, and we have pieces of others. Each has its own peculiarity and all, even the most horrible of all, have something, a resistance that persists in the face of the categorization of “cinema of the eighties”, with all the characteristics already recognized. Perhaps that is our declaration of principles: to find the particular, the unclassifiable, the surplus of the crystallized of a paradigm, in each of the films we see. In original Spanish: Decidimos hacer una especie de canon sobre el período que estuvimos revisitando. Para nosotros fue un visionado hondo, una experiencia por momentos poco gratificante y por otros un poco divertida. Incluso fue más intenso de lo que se puede percibir en los textos. No pudimos elegir veinte películas que defendamos de manera completa para usar de declaración de principios. No hay tantas. Tenemos algunas, y tenemos pedazos de otras. Cada una tiene su particularidad y todas, incluso las más horrible de todas, tiene algo, una resistencia que persiste frente a la categorización de “cine de los ochenta”, con todas las características ya reconocidas. Quizás esa sea nuestra declaración de principios: encontrar lo particular, lo inclasificable, lo que sobra de lo cristalizado de un paradigma, en cada una de las películas que vemos. Note: Some films are from the 1990s, either in the source or in imdb, or both; I don't know why they're in the list.

CinemaScore F
Favs/dislikes: 0:0. "All 20 Movies That Flunked CinemaScore With F Grade, From ‘Solaris’ to ‘The Grudge’ Created in 1979, the CinemaScore polling system did not yield an F until the release of the 1999 thriller “Eye of the Beholder.” Since then, 19 more films have received that failing grade. While some have come from frequently panned filmmakers like Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer’s “Disaster Movie,” others have come from award-winning filmmakers, including Jane Campion’s “In the Cut,” Robert Altman’s “Dr. T and the Women,” and Steven Soderbergh’s remake of Andrei Tarkovsky “Solaris,” which received positive reviews from Roger Ebert and other critics. "The Grudge" has been given an emphatic thumbs down by both critics and audiences, becoming the 20th film to receive an F on CinemaScore. But not all films that flunked with audiences received poor reviews from critics. Read on to learn the history of CinemaScore's hall of infamy."

BFI's Dirk Bogarde: 10 Essential Films
Favs/dislikes: 0:0. Two handfuls of the finest films featuring one of Britain’s greatest screen actors, from his early classics to his later career as a go-to star for arthouse directors. After making a West End theatre debut in 1939 and then serving as a captain during the Second World War, Derek Jules Gaspard Ulric Niven van den Bogaerde would, under the less intimidating name Dirk Bogarde, go on to become one of Britain’s finest postwar actors. Handsome, talented and ambitious, Bogarde went from being the ‘Idol of the Odeon’ to a respected, if at times difficult, star of more challenging dramas and arthouse epics. A complicated and guarded off-screen figure sometimes seen as cold and cruel, Bogarde was, regardless of this, a commanding and popular onscreen presence. To celebrate what would have been his 94th birthday on 28 March, here are 10 of his finest films. Neil Mitchell Updated: 6 June 2018 -
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. -
Gene Hackman: 10 Essential Films
Favs/dislikes: 1:0. We remember 10 of the finest films starring Gene Hackman, one of the great actors to emerge from the New Hollywood of the 1960s and 70s. In 2004, Gene Hackman appeared in an unmemorable supporting role in [url=https://www.icheckmovies.com/movies/welcome+to+mooseport/]Welcome to Mooseport[/url]. It was a typically intelligent performance in an unworthy film and fans thought it was just another step on the way to another, better movie. But nothing came and, a few years later, Hackman announced his retirement from acting. Subsequent offers from directors such as Alexander Payne have not tempted him and it now seems very unlikely that he will make another film.

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. -
Entertainment Weekly's Essential Movies Kids Must Experience (Before They Turn 13)
Favs/dislikes: 7:0. There are people out there who have never seen The Princess Bride. They walk among us, holding down jobs, contributing to society, and generally living happy, semi-fulfilled lives. But whisper a perfectly-timed “mawage” in their direction during a wedding, and the resulting blank stare or awkward chuckle will expose an inconceivable pop-cultural blind spot. Someone failed them when they were growing up. In many ways it’s too late for them, but we can still save the next generation. The 55 Essential Movies Kids Must Experience (Before They Turn 13) is a starting point. This isn’t a list of the 55 “best” kids movies, nor a compendium of hidden gems. Rather, it’s a survival-guide syllabus of films that we all need to know to be able to speak the same pop-cultural language, listed in order by when they might be best introduced. It starts with a film that is a perfect introduction to the cinematic universe and ends with one that is an ideal capper before graduating into the world of PG-13 and R movies—and the age when kids begin to make their own theater decisions. These are the cinematic building blocks for future film connoisseurs, movie-literate enthusiasts who can gracefully segue from a George Bailey impression into a spirited debate over whether Han Solo shot first. The important stuff. -

Complex's The 25 Best Graphic Novel Adaptations of All Time
Favs/dislikes: 2:0. BY KHAL, AUBREY PAGE, JOHN FLYNN, MIKE SHEFFIELD, KERENSA CADENAS, HELEN OWOLABI, MADISON HARTMAN Aug 23, 2017 If you’re a fan of today’s movies, you can throw a rock and hit like 40 different comic book-related projects. And while it’s weird that a number of these series are produced with their comic book counterparts continuing to grow on a monthly basis, there’s a history of movies that were derived from graphic novels, which at their base are more serialized comic book works. With the money Netflix is funneling into their original programming, there’s no surprised that the long-awaited Hollywood adaptation of Death Note, the wildly-popular manga series-turned-anime dealing with a magical book that grants its owner the ability to kill anyone who’s name is written in it, is premiering on the service this Friday. In a year that’s already featured (shaky) film adaptations of Valerian AND Ghost In the Shell, it’s high time we take a look at the absolute best movies that got their start as graphic novels. And who knows, maybe you might find out that your favorite film is also just as dope when you read it. Note: There are 27 films because Kick-Ass 1 & 2 Hellboy 1 & 2 are counted as single entries in the source. -

AMP's 20 Great Bangladeshi Films of the 21st Century
Favs/dislikes: 1:0. September 22, 2020 By Fahmidul Haq After the advent of new technologies such as satellite TV, CD/DVD in 1990s and Internet streaming in 2000s, Bangladesh’s mainstream industry, which was once vibrant, started declining. Meanwhile, since the mid-1980s, there was a slow but steady growth of independent cinema which started representing the national cinema of Bangladesh by documenting politics, culture and society, both in fiction and documentary genres and by participating in international festivals. Primarily these films were artisanal in look – short in length and technically ordinary; gradually they started to be more mature – full length in duration and comprehensive in film techniques. Since 2000 and onward, Bangladeshi cinema is trying to find its own voice internationally, which is often overshadowed by Indian Bengali Cinema that reached its peak by the contributions of Satyajit Ray, Ritwik Ghatak and others. In the new millennium, Bangladeshi cinema has elevated from the ‘artisanal’ to the ‘global’ stage. Also, there was an evolution in the themes of Bangladeshi Cinema– from rural to urban and from traditional-cultural archetypes to post-modern and post-globalized complex realities. Except one or two, the selection criteria of the following 20 films was the intend to portray the broader culture and society of Bangladesh instead of just telling a good story or entertaining audience or even just experimenting artistically. The themes of the films are diverse and deep rooted in history and culture of Bangladesh as a nation. The films are described here in temporal order. The selection includes three documentaries. -
AMP's Queering the Indian Cinescape: 7 Movies
Favs/dislikes: 0:0. June 24, 2020 By Puja Basu The repealing of Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code was definitely a moment of monumental significance in contemporary Indian history. Even though the provision was a legislative relic of the British colonial government, the government of the United Kingdom had revoked this provision in their own country, much before India did the same. The struggle for equal rights and opportunities for people belonging to the LGBTQ+ spectrum in India is far from over; however, the past decade has seen some interesting trends in terms of representation of queer characters in Indian cinema. For a society that [url=https://www.google.com/amp/s/feminisminindia.com/2020/03/09/why-sex-sexuality-education-indian-schools-taboo/%3famp]still refuses to condone sex education[/url] because the subject continues to be taboo, the cinematic medium becomes an interesting means of initiating conversations on the matter, given its reach and capacity for mass engagement. It’s been over two decades since the release of Deepa Mehta’s “[url=https://www.icheckmovies.com/movies/fire/]Fire[/url]”, which had created a furor owing to its portrayal of a same-sex relationship, that two between two sisters-in-law! While public response to such content has changed over the years, so have the kinds of stories filmmakers have been trying to tell. While most works tend to make the character’s sexuality or their instance of ‘coming out’ the focus of their trajectory, some have even managed to go beyond this narrative trope. Here’s taking a look at some of the most interesting Indian cinematic approaches in the last decade, to representing and narrativizing queer stories snd characters. -
AMP's Ten Masterful Asian Film Trilogies
Favs/dislikes: 1:0. August 4, 2018 Panos Kotzathanasis Movie trilogies have emerged in world cinema during the last decade or so, as one of the most favorite medium of films, and probably, as a countermeasure to the growing popularity of TV series. Evidently, this does not mean that there have not been trilogies in the past (who can forget “The Godfather”, “Star Wars” and many more), but it seems like, at the moment, this is where the movie industry is heading. In Asian cinema, though, trilogies have been a favorite medium since the 50’s, with their impact continuing to these days, although not in the same extend as in Hollywood. Filmmakers of the magnitutde of Satyajit Ray and Yasuhiro Ozu felt that a single movie could not contain their vision, and proceeded on shooting trilogies that include some of the all time, international masterpieces. The tendency continues to later decades, with a number of the most acclaimed Asian directors presenting their own, either loose (Park Chan-wook and Wong Kar-wai) or as a single story presented in parts (Infernal Affairs) Here are 10 of the greatest trilogies of Asian cinema, in a list that focuses on diversity in themes and aesthetics, although not so much on country of origin. -
AMP's The 20 Best Post-Liberation (1972-2000) Films from Bangladesh
Favs/dislikes: 1:0. December 29, 2020 By Fahmidul Haq Bangladesh started producing film regularly since the mid-1950s, when it was part of Pakistan. Due to the colonial military rule by the central West Pakistan, there was a rise of Bengali nationalism and people of East Pakistan started revolting. The East did not get the power even though their political party Bangladesh Awami League got absolute majority in 1970 Pakistan election. The people of the East got increasingly agitated and there was a military crackdown in the midnight of March 25, 1971 and the war started. Through the resistance of freedom fighters and the diplomatic and military support from India, Bangladesh got liberated from Pakistan on December 16, 1971 . This article selects the 20 best films in post-liberation (1972-2000) Bangladesh. The country had a vibrant mainstream film industry in 1970s and 1980s. Since 1990s, the industry started declining due to many internal and external factors. Meanwhile, since the mid-1980s, there was a slow but steady growth of independent cinema which started representing the national cinema of Bangladesh by documenting politics, culture and society, both in fiction and documentary genres and by participating in international festivals. Until mid-1990s, independent films were artisan in look – short in length and technically ordinary; however, gradually they started to be more mature – full length in duration and comprehensive in film techniques. Except one or two, the selection criteria of the following 20 movies was the films’ intend to portray the broader culture and society of Bangladesh, instead of just telling a good story or entertaining audience or even just experimenting artistically. The themes of the films are diverse and deep rooted in the history and culture of Bangladesh as a nation. The films are described here in temporal order. The selection includes 2 documentaries and 18 features that comprise 5 war films, 6 rural based, 3 city centric and 1 children film. It is also interesting to note that 3 rivers are mentioned in the titles of 3 films and 3 films are set in the coast of the Bay of Bengal. It is quite natural that the rivers, the sea, and the boat would be the characters in the films made in Bengal Delta region. Two films (“[url=https://www.icheckmovies.com/movies/palanka/]Palanka[/url]” [1975] by Rajen Tarafdar and “[url=https://www.icheckmovies.com/movies/padma+nadir+majhi/]Padma Nadir Majhi[/url]” [1993] by Goutam Ghosh) might be included in the lists, but those were co-productions between Bangladesh and India and the director is from India. “Titas Ekti Nadir Naam” by Ritwik Ghatak was also directed by an Indian citizen, but it was solely produced by Bangladesh, hence included in the list. Moreover, Ghatak was born in Bangladesh and lived here until his early youth. -

BBC Sport's The 50 Sport Films You Must See
Favs/dislikes: 3:0. #mybestsportfilm 5 April 2020 07:005 April 2020 07:00 What we've tried to do... 50 sport films you must see Rocky Balboa bounding up the steps to the Philadelphia Museum of Art, a group of white-clad men running along a beach as Vangelis plays, Pele... sorry, Luis Fernandez rising in slow motion to score with an overhead kick for the Allied side against the Nazis. Film has provided us with some truly memorable sporting moments. Now, with pretty much all sport halted as the world looks to combat the spread of coronavirus, film is one of the few places we can turn to get our fix of football, cricket, rugby and the rest. To help you sift through the many sporting films out there, BBC Sport journalists have picked 50 of the best and have had a go at selling them to you. We have made our picks to ensure a broad selection of sports are covered, along with a number of different genres, including some comedies and documentaries. And we've supplied you with an indication of how each might give you your sporting fix or use a bit of artistic licence to get you invested. We've also dug out a trailer for each film, to give you a taster. These are taken from YouTube and may contain adult themes. In addition, we have enlisted the help of some of our leading correspondents to give a brief overview of their sport on film. These 50 films are by no means a definitive top list of sporting films - and they are listed in alphabetical order - but they should hopefully be enough to fill the void and give you your sporting fix.
