	Film Genres
		Musical/dance films are cinematic forms that emphasize full-scale scores or song and dance routines in a significant way (usually with a musical or dance performance integrated as part of the film narrative), or they are films that are centered on combinations of music, dance, song or choreography.
		War films acknowledge the horror and heartbreak of war, letting the actual combat fighting (against nations or humankind) on land, sea, or in the air provide the primary plot or background for the action of the film.
		All films have at least one major genre, although there are a number of films that are considered crossbreeds or hybrids with three or four overlapping genre (or sub-genre) types that identify them.

	Guardian Unlimited Film \| News \| Remakes fail to inspire public imagination
		The worst, according to the survey, was the remake in 2000 of Get Carter, for which Michael Caine was replaced by Sylvester Stallone and the action relocated from Newcastle in the 60s to modern-day Seattle.
		Second on the list was Gus Van Sant's attempt to reshoot the Alfred Hitchcock horror classic Psycho for a younger audience.
		An all too familiar tale, perhaps, until you remember that the 1959 version of Ben-Hur, which won 11 Oscars, was a remake of earlier 1907 and 1925 films, or that the legendary 1960 western The Magnificent Seven was a reworking of the 1954 Japanese classic The Seven Samurai.

	Remakes and your thoughts? - SpielbergFilms.com Forum
		I am a part of the crowd that rolled my eyes when I heard they were remaking it and also the same can be said about "Dawn Of The Dead" but I have to bite my lip and say that they really did a good job on both of these remakes.
		If a remake is done well and gives homage to the original, or better yet turns out to be a Sequel to the original and you dont know it til the end then remakes are good.
		Remakes are good for older films that need new audiences (not that popular today) and for films that weren't very successful to begin with.

	Film: Top 100
		Though the press releases were effusive enough, the list set off a firestorm of debate among film critics, historians and academics about who did and didn't make the cut.
		The AFI then sent the list to a select group including 1,500 film types as well as prominent citizens (President Clinton and Vice President Gore and their wives, among them), who responded "overwhelmingly," according to Oster.
		Though the list may seem easy to dismiss, changes in the video market should make it a going concern for anyone who relies on their local rental outlets for variety in their cinema diet.

	The Film Experience Year in Review: The Best of 2005

		The films which captured the most critical acclaim (derived from top 10 lists circa 12/27/05).
		If the "sky is falling" story of plummeting box office continues while more politically minded films seem to be on the ascent we could be entering a period not unlike the 1970s for American cinema.

	DC Film Society: Adam's Rib
		In mulling over a list of 2001's worst films I realized that this was the first year I did not envy professional film critics.
		Where the original film's surprise ending tied the whole film together, the remake's finish feels tacked-on and uninspired, as though the filmmakers put a surprise in there because they thought they had to.
		The film's time period is critical because the "knight's tale" is of a peasant who passes himself off as a knight in order to compete in jousting tournaments.

	UCLA Film & Television Archive - Collections - Film Noir
		French film critics coined the term "film noir" by analogy with those literary works (many of which had been made into film).
		Many noir films were crafted by German and central European emigres, trained in the UFA studios in the l920s and early 1930s and influenced by German Expressionism.
		Though shot in color, American films like BULLITT (l968), KLUTE (l97l), CHINATOWN (l974), BODY HEAT (l98l) and the recent remakes of THE POSTMAN ALWAYS RINGS TWICE and D.O.A. are a tribute to the "noir" sensibility.

	Ocean's Eleven (2001) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		A film like `Ocean's Eleven' stands or falls on the charisma of its stars, the intricacy of its plotting and the plausibility of its actions.
		It perhaps explains why Tess can go from being a principled, law-abiding citizen at the beginning of the film to being an accomplice in crime at the end, all for the love of a man – and we cheer her for it.
		Unlike in Soderbergh's other films, we do not find hidden depths lurking beneath the shining handsome surface of this movie, and we certainly carry no nutritious food for thought away with us from this film as we did from the others.

		The limber, whipsmart comedian was, at the height of his film career, one of the finest physical humorists the medium had ever seen.
		While the majority of America's film critics have been caught up in their moral superiority, they seem to have missed the fact that Roth has crafted a supremely political film, one that lambasts the jocular xenophobia of the typical American, and showing just what the rest of the world probably feels about us all.
		The film is an only very sporadically funny, but brings to light something that my friend, Mark Pfeiffer, said the other night: essentially that CGI films will very soon no longer be a novelty because of their animation style.

	Paly Voice: Over the Hills: horror film adds to list of bad remakes
		In the film, The Carter Family goes on a road trip to San Diego, but takes a misinformed "shortcut" through an abandoned nuclear bomb test site on their way to California.
		The barren landscape, mysterious metallic objects in the dark red hills and labored breathing of the mutants contribute to the constant feeling of suspense of this film.
		The film was originally even more violent and gory, but was edited to avoid the box-office-killing NC-17 rating.

	KMC Forums - Film Remakes...Yea or Nay?
		But then there are the films like Gus Van Sant's Psycho, which defies all logic; Vanilla Sky, which would have been better if I never saw the original; and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, which managed to make a movie about a chainsaw wielding psycho boring and only served to reintroduce us to Jessica Beil's breasts.
		Most remakes aren't necessary, muchless asked for by the general movie going public, and are usually stubborn writers and directors that think they can improve on something with total disregard for the classics.
		My favorite part about remakes is the simple fact that it gets the word out about the original that may have been forgotten about with everyday people.

	FILM MUSIC REVIEW (The Best and Worst Film Music of 2004)
		The commentary on the film by Katherine Orrison is interesting at times, but goes on endlessly and begins to sound like a boring lecture.
		THE TERMINAL was perhaps less successful as a film, and Williams' score was very loud and prominent in the movie in the way his SABRINA score was in that Sydney Pollack film.
		The opening scene in the film reminded me of the opening of RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK. July brought the Alex Proyas film I, ROBOT which was loosley based on the Isaac Assimov stories.

		Nowadays any film can claim to be the "number one" movie even if it is much lower on the list of moneymakers.
		It is not unusual for a film ranked far below the actual #1film to be advertised by its releasing studio as "the number one comedy in America." Studios are so desperate to find any marketing hook for an opening they routinely scrape the bottom of the barrel in search of a record to break.
		We'll try to limit this list to 100, but there are so many to choose from it may be a larger list.

		His canon is neither esoteric nor arcane, simply a collection of works that explores universal themes: man's labour for fulfillment; the necessity for humane action in the tornado of an oppressive world; that world's propensity to disguise the truth beneath a veneer of deception.
		He trained as a painter in a Western art school, absorbing a love of non-Occidental literature and film as well as painting, dipping into this treasure trove throughout his career.
		All Kurosawa's movies showcase the director's dazzling technical artistry, but it is those that spin round the vortex of action which benefit most.

		Not only does he get his interviewees to discuss topics such as why violent films are given more lenient treatment than sexually explicit material (Boys Don't Cry director Kimberly Peirce apparently has much to say on the MPAA's attitude toward female gratification), but he outs members of the association as well.
		THE BUZZ: This remake of Lassie Come Home is part of a planned reintroduction of the beloved collie.
		Then again, this looks to be his first issue film in which he can't be accused of distorting history in order to explore it.

		There are some titles I'm not familiar with, while some of the films by Siegel, Karlson, Lewis and Fuller have either been seen on TV or in 16mm versions.
