	W&H MAIN YARDS: List of Railway Movies
		It is not a list of realistic movies about trains; I'm not qualified to evaluate all the technical details, but I can certainly say that many of the films have serious flaws in their depiction of railways.
		Movies of less than feature length (say 75 minutes, or somewhat less for older films) are also excluded; for example, Buster Keaton's 1965 film "The Railrodder", and the famous 1936 British doc- umentary "Night Mail", are both shorts and so not listed.
		The list was last modified on December 5, 1995; it was last posted on October 6, 1995, on that occasion to misc.transport.rail.americas and rec.arts.movies.past-films.

	War and War-Era Movies: Media Resources Center UCB
		In those days before television and radio, fiction films in movie theaters were the most widely shared public experience while news films presented the most detailed and potent images of military life and front line action.
		The years 1911-1915 also marked the passage of movies from nickelodeon theaters to movie palaces showing carefully-prepared feature films.
		One of the greatest war movies of all time, the story follows one squad of Marines through the bloody assaults on the Solomon Islands during the opening stages of the war in the South Pacific.

	Cinema of India -
		The Marathi film industry is also based in Mumbai, which is located on the extreme western edge of the state of Maharashtra, the rural regions of which are Marathi-speaking.
		The industry is supported mainly by the vast cinemagoing Indian public, although Indian films have been gaining increasing popularity in the rest of the world — especially in countries with large numbers of expatriate Indians.
		As Western audiences for Indian cinema grow, Western producers are funding maverick Indian film-makers like Gurinder Chadha (Bride and Prejudice) and Mira Nair (Monsoon Wedding).

	Amazon.com: The Clint Eastwood Collection (In the Line of Fire/Unforgiven/Bronco Billy/Dirty Harry/The Outlaw Josey Wales/The Beguiled): DVD
		Eastwood himself helmed the vigilante Western The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976) as well as the comedy Bronco Billy (1980), which films show Eastwood at different ends of the cowboy spectrum: a vengeful family man seeking revenge and an amiable traveling showman who runs a Wild West extravaganza, respectively.
		I'm more of his western part fan and I would prefer to see more such movies put in (accutally it does exists as a separate set).
		Eastwood gathers all the usual suspects together and casts them as a group a misfits who all have a special role as part of "Bronco's Billy's Wild West Show", a modern day attempt to bring the wild west back into the hearts of all the "young partners out there".

	The Vatican Film List: Ten Years Later
		The list includes comedy (The Lavender Hill Mob), horror (Nosferatu), science fiction (2001: A Space Odyssey; Metropolis), animation (Fantasia), sports (Chariots of Fire), family melodrama (Little Women), a number of war movies, several silent films, even a Western (Stagecoach).
		Titled simply “Some Important Films,” the list is simply a cross section of outstanding films, chosen by a committee of twelve international movie scholars appointed by the head of the pontifical commission, Archbishop John Foley.
		Thus, the films listed in, for instance, the “Values” category possess special moral worth, but that doesn’t mean that they are perfect even with respect to moral content — and certainly not with respect to religious or artistic significance.

	Westerns Films
		Westerns are often set on the American frontier during the last part of the 19th century (1865-1900) following the Civil War, in a geographically western (trans-Mississippi) setting with romantic, sweeping frontier landscapes or rugged rural terrain.
		The western film genre often portrays the conquest of the wilderness and the subordination of nature, in the name of civilization, or the confiscation of the territorial rights of the original inhabitants of the frontier.
		Western films have also been called the horse opera, the oater (quickly-made, short western films which became as commonplace as oats for horses), or the cowboy picture.

	The Vatican Film List
		The list includes comedy (The Lavender Hill Mob), horror (Nosferatu), science fiction (2001: A Space Odyssey ; Metropolis), animation (Fantasia), sports (Chariots of Fire), family melodrama (Little Women), a number of war movies, several silent films, even a Western (Stagecoach).
		Titled simply “Some Important Films,” the list is simply a cross section of outstanding films, chosen by a committee of twelve international movie scholars appointed by the head of the pontifical commission, Archbishop John Foley.
		Though often characterized, somewhat misleadingly, as “the Vatican’s top films,” the list is meant neither as a set of definitive or magisterial “top fifteen” lists nor to establish these particular films as definitely more worthwhile than any film that was not included.

	GreenCine Westerns
		Dubbed "spaghetti westerns" for obvious reasons (no pasta was eaten in any of the shots), Leone's Dollars trilogy of films are among the most fun and subversive of all Westerns.
		Westerns have always centered on the classic American story itself, that of taming the land (and, occasionally, the part where white people "conquered" natives), of overcoming hardships, of the frontier spirit.
		Westerns have always centered on a hero who is a man of few words.

	Paramount Ranch
		They called them "movie ranches," and many of the films you thought were shot in some exotic locale were actually done right in your own back yard.
		Today, those old sets are gone, but a Western Town is here for visitors to admire, complete with a Main Street lined with typical storefronts, such with a Sheriff's office, a blacksmith/livery, a surveyors office, a saloon, a Post Office, barns, and a Wells Fargo office.
		Westerns used to be a very popular staple for most Hollywood studios, and it's hard to recreate the wide-open spaces needed for cowboy shoot 'em ups on a studio back lot.

	Studying film
		In some kinds of film (the road movie, the Western) the setting is grand and panoramic while in others (like horror films) it may be narrow and claustrophobic.
		In writing about a film, you are not expected to refer to the producer, but may wish to mention the writer (of the screenplay).
		Look at the lighting of particular scenes; look at use of colour; consider camera technique - steadicam or hand-held, long tracking shots, reaction shots and cutaways.

	AbsoluteMadonna.com - Madonna's Books
		In her first children's book with a pre-20th-century setting, Madonna combines storytelling resourcefulness with a non-Western theme for a read that will sit comfortably alongside her previous two books.
		Madonna presents herself as "a performer in a landscape where she creates and brings her ideas to life or death." Steven Klein's intention was to work with Madonna as a performance artist, creating a situation where she could respond directly to the camera without constraint.
		Madonna continues to bewitch and enchant children and fans alike with her mega-selling, sumptuous giftbooks.

	Sonic Outlaws
		These elements include interviews, concert footage, didactic voice-over narration, and of course appropriated footage, including news broadcasts, cartoons, classroom instructional films and the cheesy science-fiction film Village of Giants, an early 60s movie about a race of overgrown teenagers, based on a story by H.G. Wells.
		Sonic Outlaws (1995), Craig Baldwin's newest film, is both an embodiment and a documentation of these techniques of montage, appropriation, and what is known as 'culture jamming': the detournment of bits and pieces of sound and image seized from the corporate mass media and redeployed for subversive purposes.
		In Sonic Outlaws Baldwin openly acknowledges his debt to Situationist film by appropriating the appropriators, stealing a segment of Les Dialectique puet-elle casser des briques and a fake advertisement for Guy Debord ("Debord says: real Situationists drink milk") and adding it to his own heady mix of plagiarized fragments.

	Journal of Popular Film and Television: Introduction: a century on the trail
		The subject matter of Westerns usually has been the historical West after 1850, but the real emotional and ideological subject matter has invariably been the issues of the era in which the films were released.
		The Western Channel is the most popular of Encore's specialty cable channels, and, almost on cue, a newspaper feature every couple of years will proclaim that the Western is about to be tall in the saddle once again (Freydkin).
		It's true that Westerns have shown brief signs of still being able to ride and rope over the last twenty years, such as the notable Westerns of the early 1990s--Dances with Wolves (1990), Unforgiven (1992), and Tombstone (1993).

	Doc Films / Series Calendar
		Considered by some to be Paul Newman's greatest western (as well as being Elmore Leonard's first novel to be converted to film), Hombre focuses on John Russell (Paul Newman), a white man raised by Apaches, as he interacts with a stagecoach full of whites from various backgrounds and classes as they travel across Death Valley.
		Five westerns that deal with controversial and relevant social issues, followed by Kieslowski's monumental cinematic adaptation of the Ten Commandments.

		Although "medieval" and "movies" might not seem to be a good fit -- and a lot of bad films have been made -- it is perhaps worth noting that they have gone together since the earliest surviving American feature film - André Calmettes and James Keane Richard III of 1912.
