  1. Asia Shock: Horror and Dark Cinema from Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, and Thailand's icon

    Asia Shock: Horror and Dark Cinema from Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, and Thailand

    Favs/dislikes: 57:0. A viewer's guide to accompany the book of the same name by Patrick Galloway. The list features every title reviewed in the book, in the order in which they appear. Please note: Because Galloway includes a review of the American remake of Ringu, I have included it on the list, even though it is obviously not an Asian movie.
  2. Hammer Film Productions's icon

    Hammer Film Productions

    Favs/dislikes: 41:0. A list of all films produced by Hammer Film Productions, the studio famous for its gothic horror films and for fostering the careers of Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing and others.
  3. A Guide to Pinky Violence's icon

    A Guide to Pinky Violence

    Favs/dislikes: 28:0. "Pinky Violence" refers to a genre of Japanese action cinema which began in the late 1960's and continued through the mid 1970's. Typically featuring a young female protagonist, these films often told stories of revenge or gangland violence. Despite the word "pinky", these films were not usually softcore (although a couple of titles toe the line). While certainly characterized by considerable nudity as a means of luring in a waning cinema audience, sex scenes were limited, typically in furtherance of the plot, and extremely mild in comparison to the "Roman Porno" line being produced at Nikkatsu. Instead, the focus is on wild, outrageous action, colorful direction and a spirit of youthful energy. The genre primarily refers to a line of films released by Toei (one of Japan's major studios), however two series from rival series mirror the sensibilities enough that they are often included: Toho's "Rica" series, and Nikkatsu's "Stray Cat Rock" films. This list is based on the list suggested by KamuiX in his article "The World of Pinky Violence, An Intro." It is grouped by series, rather than chronology, with stand-alone films appearing at the bottom of the list. IMDB's coverage of Japanese films is not always great. The following films should be on this list, but lack an imdb entry: Zubekô banchô: Tôkyô nagaremono (AKA Delinquent Girl Boss 2) Terrifying Girls' High School 4: Animal Courage All three films in "Joshi Gakuen" series Bankaku Rock Hell's Angels: Crimson Roar
  4. Eaten Alive: Italian Cannibal and Zombie Movies's icon

    Eaten Alive: Italian Cannibal and Zombie Movies

    Favs/dislikes: 24:0. A viewer's guide to accompany the book "Eaten Alive" by Jay Slater, which discusses Italian cannibal and zombie films from the years 1964 to 1994.
  5. AFI's 100 Years...100 Stars's icon

    AFI's 100 Years...100 Stars

    Favs/dislikes: 12:0. In 1999 AFI continued their "100 Years" series with "100 Years...100 Stars." This list sought to identify the top 25 greatest American actors and the 25 greatest American actresses of all time. The criteria was that the performer (or team of performers) must have made their screen debut prior to 1950 or whose death made a complete body of work. This list was designed for those who wish to familiarize themselves with the best films of those 50 stars. Using imdb rankings, I have identified the five most highly regarded films for each performer (excluding TV as well as cameos or other very small parts). I have also excluded duplicates, so for example the five films for Fred Astaire include collaborations with Ginger Rogers that do not appear in her five films. Enjoy!
  6. Mondo Macabro's icon

    Mondo Macabro

    Favs/dislikes: 12:0. The entire library of boutique label Mondo Macabro. Mondo Macabro is a collection of horror, exploitation, and just plain weird films curated by Pete Tombs, co-author of the book Immoral Tales: European Sex & Horror Films 1956-1984.

  8. Stray Dogs & Lone Wolves: The Samurai Film Handbook's icon

    Stray Dogs & Lone Wolves: The Samurai Film Handbook

    Favs/dislikes: 12:0. This list is a viewer's guide to Patrick Galloway's book of the same name: "Stray Dogs & Lone Wolves is a critical guide to over 50 top samurai films, including such masterworks as the Oscar-winning Gate of Hell, Yojimbo (remade five times, including A Fistful of Dollars), the influential Lady Snowblood, and newly released hits like Takeshi Kitano's Zatoichi."
