	TheatreBooks: Films: Reference & Annuals
		Every film fan anticipates "award season", when the best films of the year compete in a feeding frenzy for the various trophies handed out in the new year.
		Now that audiences were more and more glued to their TV sets and the abolition of the Production Code loosened up the rules about what was “permissible” in cinema, filmmakers had more freedom to explore the possibilities of film as an art form.
		This latest incarnation of the popular Videohound film guide boasts some 26,000 opinionated and entertaining reviews of movies on video.

	The Lord of the Rings Movie Review
		At first glance, Jackson would seem a strange choice to film a fantasy epic like The Lord of the Rings, as most of his previous movies were B-movie horror (and the exception, Heavenly Creatures, a claustrophobic psychological drama).
		In short, visually the film is everything a Tolkien fan or movie buff could desire.
		After nearly fifty years, J. Tolkien's masterpiece The Lord of the Rings has finally gotten the film treatment it deserves.

	Miracle film review
		Inevitably there's plenty of flag waving jingoism, but thanks to Russell's moving performance, the film resonates even if you're not an American hockey fan, which itself is a miracle.
		Nevertheless, the significance of that showdown, coming as it did in the midst of the cold war, provides a dramatic basis for a film.
		The move pays off, making Miracle one of those rarities; a convincing sporting film.

	Mommie Dearest... Joan Crawford by Groucho
		As her fan, I jump at every opportunity to watch her films, and think of her as one of the brightest stars in Hollywood history.
		The film’s true success came when the studio realized it could be propelled as a camp classic, and gave it that kind of advertising.
		However, the roles she started to get weren’t half as significant as those from her great films of the 1970s (Chinatown (1974) and Network (1976) perhaps the best examples).

	Joan Crawford
		The book was turned into a Hollywood movie in 1981, with Faye Dunaway as the title character.
		Film theater owners voted her among the top ten money-making stars from 1932 to 1936, and by the late 1930s she was one of Hollywood's highest paid actresses.
		She made such a positive impression during her early film career that MGM head Louis B. Mayer launched a fan-magazine contest to find her a new name.

	Good Days & Bad Times
		In recent years, the recall value is perhaps higher because of the combined might of Zee Cinema/Sony Max, etc, which repeat these films often enough to ensure that no memory lapses occur.
		Kill me if you are a Sholay fan and bought cassettes with 'songs and dialogues from Sholay' in your misguided youth (I know people who did) but music ain't that film's strong point.
		Can you imagine the film without Rekha in it?

	Heavy Metal Magazine Fan Page
		One of the coolest things though is that he mentioned his interest in wanting to make a big budget animated Heavy Metal film with interlocking shorts like the first 1981 movie.
		They will be live action, with a budget of about $500,000 to $1,000,000 per film, and shot in the U.S. and Canada.
		The new issue of Heavy Metal has been out for a while.

	Evil Dead II (1987)
		This was in response to the use of The Evil Dead (1981) on a television screen in A Nightmare On Elm Street (1984).
		"Evil Dead 2" manages to be even more entertaining than the first movie, a goofy and fun horror/comedy with a chaotic finale that I would recommend to any fan of this genre.
		What is also funny is that the character of Ash is already showing signs of the super-obnoxious moron he would become in "Army of Darkness".

	Wilkes University - The Beacon
		The film chronicled the rise to fame of the vivacious Tejana singer who had been slain by her fan club manager.

		March 24, 1985 - The Golden Raspberry Awards, a parody of the Oscar Awards were presented.

	BladeZone: The Online Blade Runner Fan Club
		Having a personal interest in Blade Runner since 1981, Bryan has corresponded with numerous production members from the film during his past pursuit to produce a book dedicated to the artists behind Blade Runner and their personal experiences producing the look of the film.
		The back-up 54 Spinner (spider car) was returned to Fantasy Cars after filming of Back to the Future 2 where it sat on exhibition at the El Cajon facility that featured various movie cars, props and costumes until being loaned to Jay Ohrberg for the use in the film, Solar Crisis.
		The prop was repainted a second time to resemble it’s appearance once again as seen in Blade Runner and Winfield modified the suspension and lightened the car under direction of the studio before sending it to Yokohhama, Japan as a promotion for the 1993 Japanese (1992 U. S.) re-release of the film.

	Close up : British Popular Cinema (2)
		The seventies are associated with crisis and failure yet the eighties began on a note of optimism with the resounding success of the Oscar-winning Chariots of Fire (1981) which managed both to penetrate the international including the American market and retain a distinctively British identity.
		It has already been mentioned that the British cinema has yet to be extensively mapped by students and scholars yet in Dennis Gifford's The British Film Catalogue the basic material for such a task exists in the form of a single albeit lengthy volume.
		Many of the British films of the sixties including the Bond cycle were financed substantially by American companies attracted by the cheap production facilities and the Eady levy subsidy thus continuing the "runaway" production trend of the previous decade.

	The Staff
		His chief claim to fame was the publication of The Films of Alan Ladd, which he co-authored with Marilyn Henry, in 1981.
		When not working or spending time with his wife and four children, he writes fan fiction and articles for Fanzing, much of it featuring future detective Star Hawkins, and maintains a help file of information about the Legion of Super-Heroes.
		Don took a two-year degree in Film, went on to learn the practical stuff as a reporter and producer for Armed Forces Radio and Television, and presently works in broadcast and industrial video production in Oakland, California.

	The Films of Doris Day - looking at the career of the film legend and singer
		So welcome to The Films of Doris Day - an unofficial not-for-profit fan website and a collaborative effort with other Doris Day fans.
		Doris Day gets as much fan mail today as when she was making films like "Calamity Jane" and "Pillow Talk".
		A lifelong animal lover, Doris finally gave up on men - or perhaps marriage is a more accurate term - after divorcing her fourth husband Barry Comden in 1981 (Comden complained she preferred having the dogs in the bed).

	around the dot - guillaume rigal: The Scream that stuck
		Both Anderson and Burtt worked on "Raiders of the Lost Ark" (1981), and Richard used the screams in the film's truck chase - one of the sequences he cut sounds for himself.
		Ben adopted the scream as a kind of personal sound signature, and included it in all the "Star Wars" and "Indiana Jones" films, and many of the other films he has worked on including "More American Graffiti" (1979) and "Willow" (1988).
		One person who noticed the same distinctive scream reoccurring in so many movies was sound effects fan Ben Burtt.

	JOHN WILLIAMS Fan Network :: View topic - Sequencing Bond
		There is some more 'local flavour' music at this point in the film, as Bond makes his way through a festival of some kind on his way to connect with Q in the confessional box.
		The music between the gunbarrel and the brass theme seems to be unused in the film.
		The extra music is nice, but none of it is really as good as the stuff that made it to the initial album in 1981.

	BrothersJudd.com - Review of Carl Dreyer's The Passion of Joan of Arc
		Carl Dreyer's The Passion of Joan of Arc, on the other hand, is not only a great silent film, maybe even the greatest, it is also a seemingly timeless film, one where the fact that it's silent doesn't matter a bit, might almost be nothing more than the director's preference.
		Thereafter The Passion was apparently shown in pretty dubious versions, until in 1981 a pristine copy of the original was found in a closet of a sanitarium in Oslo, Norway.
		-REVIEW ESSAY :The Messenger: A Story of Joan of Arc : Luc Besson's new film isn't nearly as good as the true story, nor is his Joan truly a messenger.

	Being Julia London Movie Review
		Clearly, the combination of the theatre and the 1930s is somewhat lucky for Szabo as the film is already generating Oscar buzz, largely for a tour de force of a performance by Annette Bening.
		When her current “gentleman friend” Lord Charles (Bruce Greenwood) decides that they shouldn’t be seen together in public anymore, Julia seeks solace in an affair with a young American man named Tom Fennell (Shaun Evans), who claims to be her biggest fan.
		The film is set in London in 1938.

	7/29/04: Jerry Goldsmith
		Goldsmith's music for the epic QBVII was the equal of his feature work, encompassing memorable love themes, driving action, a rousing fanfare, and chilling music for the concentration camp sequences (musically much more harrowing than anything in Williams' Schindler's List score, which Goldsmith was a fan of), and won him yet another Emmy.
		1980 was painfully devoid of new Goldsmith features, but 1981 brought such goodies as The Final Conflict, with its superb main theme and its dazzlingly scored foxhunt, one of the greatest cues in the Goldsmith canon, and the dark and exciting Outland.
		Goldsmith's score was famously brief, only a half hour of music in a three hour film, but that 30 minutes encompassed a rich variety of themes and a stunningly original approach, deftly musicalizing a complex, true life figure and introducing the echoing trumpet sound which would become a much parodied motif.
