Greatest Films You Will Never See A hastily "restored" version of the film, put together by Jess Franco in 1992, director of exploitation films such as She Killed in Ecstasy, was received with revulsion. Unfortunately, MCA studios turned the film down as they apparently thought that the protagonist was too "ugly", a decision that rankled with Hitchcock for the rest of his life. The director worked for two years on the film, immersing himself with a team of researchers in a minute analysis of the Napoleonic era, developing a day-by-day account of court life and a catalogue of 15,000 images of the period. www.francesfarmersrevenge.com /stuff/archive/oldnews6/films.htm   (1346 words)

Disaster Movies The release of Wolfgang Peterson's epidemic film coincided with the country's obsession with the Ebola virus described in Richard Preston's bestselling The Hot Zone. The disaster film that virtually defined the genre, The Poseidon Adventure boasted all the elements of a Hollywood blockbuster: a bloated budget, arch dialogue, and an all-star cast. As in most technology-driven films, plot and dialogue are secondary to effects, but who cares when cows fly and a tanker truck falls from the sky. www.infoplease.com /spot/disaster1.html   (1180 words)

bfi | Features| The bfi 100 Early in 1999, the British Film Institute produced a selection booklet and sent copies to 1,000 people embracing all strands of the film, cinema and television industries throughout the UK - producers, directors, writers, actors, technicians, academics, exhibitors, distributors, executives and critics. The two films share an actor (Trevor Howard stars in both) and interestingly both were shot by the same cinematographer, the talented Australian-born Robert Krasker. That films from the 1960s feature so strongly points to an appreciation of the great changes in British cinema during that decade, when angrier voices like those of Lindsay Anderson, Karel Reisz, Tony Richardson, John Schlesinger and Joseph Losey led the way and were allowed to focus on social issues as well as pure drama. www.bfi.org.uk /features/bfi100   (825 words)

The American Film Institute Greatest 100 Films The American Film Institute Greatest 100 Films - Part II The American Film Institute has presented us with its list of the 100 Greatest American films of the last 100 years (although the actual spread in years was a lot shorter than that). The greatest year in film history, 1939, was represented by five films, with four each from 1951 and 1969. A pivotal film that articulated the concerns of the 60s and launched the career of one of the greatest actors of his generation. www.classicmovies.org /articles/aa062198.htm   (1805 words)

100 Greatest American Films Part of the criteria seemed to be that the films had to be popular with both the critics and the public, so you won't find any great little obscure flicks on the list - virtually none of these movies were anything less than box office smashes. A revolutionary film that let Disney's magicians at their peak stretch the boundaries of what could be done with animation, this has influenced everyone who's picked up a paintbrush and reel since, and as such certainly belongs in the Top 20. This film should be included to have at least one example of the type of over-the-top big lavish production Hollywood was making in the late '50s due to their fear that TV would take away their audience. starling.rinet.ru /music/temp/afi.html   (6441 words)

MJ's Greatest Films List - MJ Forums As the Russians stuggle more for their country, the more the film becomes as light at the beginning portion of the film, (which is of course the aftermath). This film is not only one of my personal favorites of his, but I also think it's perhaps one of the greatest anti-war film ever made. The film is just great and it keeps you on the edge of your seat because you're as clueless as the scientists are as to who's infected and who isn't. www.moviejustice.com /forums/index.php?showtopic=7076   (4042 words)

MovieLens - View Thread - The100 Greatest Films of All Time? Birth of a Nation is one of the most influential films of all time, and also a very bad one: dull, corny, and morally despicable. Sure, it is often the case that a film of supreme artistic excellence is also a very important (i.e., influential) one; but sometimes not. It seems to me that charting a film's influence would be a more objective and quantifiable matter, but a less interesting one than discussing its artistic excellence and its moral/psychological insight (or lack thereof). movielens.umn.edu /forum/viewthread?thread=107&offset=7   (1711 words)

AFI's 100 Greatest Films The American Film Institute recently polled 1,500 film professionals to determine the best 100 Hollywood films. Probably doesn't deserve to be this high on the list; the selling of Clark Gable as the greatest romantic lead since Valentino reached its apogee with this movie. A Clockwork Orange - Another visually stunning Kubrick film, with lots of little interesting additions (for instance the use of language.)

100 Greatest Films Our methodology is trite and our reasoning subjective, yet we are merely throwing about 100 films that we think deserve recognition over their peers. What I did is gave myself an hour to list 100 films more interesting than Citizen Kane (the overrated film of them all) - films that weren't included in any of the previously mentioned tops. I'm sure many people will think I omitted some great films and will think I am nuts for some I have included but I wanted to have a broad list of ones that were actually scary some that were funny and some that were interesting just based on how horrible they were. www.geocities.com /dempsey_korpela/top100.html   (577 words)

Jews, Catholics, Latter-day Saints and AFI's 100 Greatest Films Nine of the films on William Park's list of The Fifty Best Catholic Movies of All Time are also on the AFI Top 100 List. Describing the dearth of feature films about Latter-day Saint characters is not meant to diminish in any way the considerable contributions to film and American culture made by Latter-day Saint filmmakers who have worked on "mainstream" topics. The film was adapted from the French novel d'Entre les Morts, by Pierre Boileau and Thomas Narcejac. www.ldsfilm.com /misc/lds_AFI100.html   (2695 words)

Ch4's 100 Greatest Films weekend of November, 2001, Channel4 broadcast the nation’s 100 favourite films. I was less impressed to see four clumps of films edging their way into the listings as a two- or three-some – the Three Colours Trilogy, and the flipside pairing of ‘Jean de Florette’ and ‘Manon des Sources’ – and so gaining a higher place than if each component’s votes were tallied individually. The two top places are taken up by four films from two trilogies. www.pinktink3.250x.com /hmm/100films.htm   (381 words)

Last check: 2007-10-25) The movie critics for Time magazine, Richard Schickel and Richard Corliss, have compiled an unranked list of the 100 greatest films.

Recent films on the list include Pedro Almodovar's "Talk to Her," the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy and, of course, "Pulp Fiction."
