	The Fan (1996 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Fan is a 1996 thriller film directed by Tony Scott and starring Robert De Niro, Wesley Snipes, and Benicio del Toro.
		While the film did poorly in theaters and was generally regarded by critics as a flop, The Fan is often considered to be underrated by movie goers from communities such as IMDb.
		Gil, disillusioned with his Rayburn's disrespect towards the fans, spirals further down into insanity, pretending that Rayburn's son is his own, and eventually killing a former friend of his on the way to a little league baseball field where he plans to hide the center fielder's son.

	TV/Video Preservation Study: Los Angeles Public Hearing, March 1996 - National Film Preservation Board (Library of ...
		We are particularly conscious of that because the constituency to which we report, the Congress of the United States, is largely--or, to a very considerable extent--dependent on television for their election or their de-election and extraordinarily interested in it as a medium with which they practically all have rather intimate familiarity and a growing familiarity.
		Ultimately, all the film will be transferred, the videotape to be used by the general public for education and research.
		I mean, for instance, for the National Film Registry, I am enjoined, by the act of Congress, to judge it on the basis of historical, cultural and aesthetic significance.

	Kinoeye \| Spanish horror: Alejandro Amenabar's Tesis
		Fans are part of the narrative solution: it is by becoming a fan (using fan knowledge) that characters are empowered to fight back against killers.
		The transposition of fan knowledge into Final Girl know-how is a romantic gesture to the extent that it fails to consider horror fan knowledge as something that is developed in the face of media regulation (that is, censorship) as well as via media access.
		The clash of male and female viewpoints, fan and non-fan, is hence also marked out as a clash of cultural and subcultural capitals within the film, with the horror fan's knowledge being counterposed to the student's more "legitimate" cultural capital carried in and by her thesis.

	The Fan Movie Review
		The film starts near baseball's opening day and Gil's hometown team, the San Francisco Giants, have high hopes for their newly acquired hitting sensation Bobby Rayburn (Snipes).
		De Niro is given a great deal to do in the film and he make the most out of every scene he's in.
		One particular scene in which he chases after a foul ball is one of the funniest moments I've seen on film in a long time.

		The highlight of the film could be the very beginning when the viewer thinks they're getting a quality Hulk fan film, but in the end, after a lackluster transformation back into the goliath, the film ends without a second thought.
		The CGI at the beginning of the film is excellent (esp. for a fan film) and the lightsaber duel is good as well.
		SIX is a very interesting fan film that extends itself to force the viewer to contemplate ideas discussed in the movie.

	Primal Fear (1996) FILM SCAN --[ EDITING ROOM ] SCENE 360
		However, the plot is innovative; the film moves at a quicker pace and is more cohesive as a whole than Hoblit's previous projects, and its stars (James Caviezel as the son and Dennis Quaid as the father) are well-suited to their roles.
		The film is scheduled for theatrical release in March 2002.
		It is no surprise that today this film is often referred to as a "Norton movie." In this aspect, "Primal Fear" is a rare treat, as it offers a glimpse of the moment when an aspiring actor becomes an institution.

		This film is not really that much about Baseball, well it is obviously but the focus is more on a man who's whole life has slowly been going down the pan and now when it has hit rock bottom, he starts to develop a dangerous obsession.
		This is the dark tale of a baseball fan who will do anything to keep his favourite player on the team.
		Throughout the film, we are given a glimpse of the two main character's sons and their very different lives.

	film comment magazine
		Scott Hicks's film rides on performances, most spectacularly those of Rafalowicz, Taylor, and Rush; otherwise this crowd-pleasing biopic (it was voted audience favorite at the end of the fest) mostly brings tears by the numbers.
		The film's climactic rape scene is excruciating to witness--Eldard and especially Malone are very courageous indeed to have undertaken it--but when this agon does not illuminate, one feels too much the voyeur.
		Still, few films I've seen in the let-it-all-hang-out Nineties project as much pleasure in the sublimely formed landscape of a woman's body, or generate sexual frisson by savoring a prehensile foot--embroidered with elaborate patterns--as adept in bedplay as any hand.

		An expert in kung fu and wushu, Louis Fan began studying the martial arts at the age of 14.
		After appearing in films such as Righting Wrongs and Stone Age Warriors, Fan was given his biggest role as the titled character in the ultraviolent Story of Ricky.
		In 2001, he starred in the latest of the Crying Freeman-based film, The Story of Freeman and he was the titled character in Shadow Mask, originally thought to be a prequel to the 1996 film Black Mask, but was later considered a low budget clone.

		Not that Leigh's films are whimsical or neurotic; they are tough-love examinations of British life--funny, outlandish, and biting.

		In fact he is very good in all of the films where he plays crazed obsessed people, such as 'Taxi Driver', however in this film his acting really is second to none.
		Overall, 'The Fan' really is a brilliant movie, which i think has been forgotten amongst others of the same genre.
		The film will send chills down your spine and as for the character De Niro plays, it is a typical character that you know in real life - a real loser with a very selfish attitude.

	Review: The Fan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The version of The Fan to reach movie screens is as unwatchable a thriller as has come to theaters this year.
		Not only is the script superficially nasty, but the game sequences are poorly-filmed, with quick edits used to disguise the fact that hardly anyone involved (with the possible exception of ex-Major Leaguer John Kruk) can actually swing the bat.
		Even watching the horror show that the real Giants have become during the 1996 season is more fun than this.

	Filmtracks: The Fan (Hans Zimmer)
		The Fan: (Hans Zimmer/Jeff Rona) This combination of film and score is easily a disaster for most viewers and listeners, and if you just happen to be a baseball fan, then you'd be better off ignoring it all together.
		In that film, the combined silence during scenes of mad chasing through the crowd and an orchestral burst of energy at the end perfectly captured the spirit of the horror genre and placed it in the baseball setting.
		The score plays poorly in the film, and 20 minutes of it, along with several of the songs that were also out of place in the picture, were provided on a commercial album at the time of the film's 1996 release.

	Rotten Tomatoes Forums - L'Appartement (1996) MD Film References (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Blu-riven brought this film to my attention and (if I'm not mistaken) had some ideas of links/references to L'Appartement within MD. If he would be so kind as to bring those references to our attention, that would be greatly appreciated.
		I guess that as with most other films that MD references, connections can be broken down into different parts; for example the themes that are at play, the structure by which the story is told, and possibly also direct references/homages through dialogue, props etc. There seems to be much at play here.
		She's painted as a pretty good girl in the rest of the film (at least on the surface she is), but this suggests a little mischief in her character that may support her running Max around as opposed to being oblivious to it.

	Three Rivers Film Festival - 1996 - Film Descriptions
		While police are hunting for a serial killer of elderly women, the film weaves disparate fragments into a pattern that reveals the underlying connections between a group of profoundly disconnected characters; the Lithuanian actress, the West Indian musician and the beautiful fl queen.
		Their friendship, which is often strained, becomes the focal point of the film as it follows this odd couple as they struggle to help their families and adapt to the underbelly of the American Dream.
		Beautifully filmed in Nova Scotia, The Song Spinner is that rare thing, an all-new fairy tale for all ages that doesn't spoof itself silly, but rather delivers its timeless allegory with grace, understated urgency, and a visual texture reminiscent of a Brueghel painting come to life.

	The Fan (1981)
		But when her secretary Belle Goldman writes back referring to him merely as one of Sally's fan club, Douglas is deeply insulted.
		Any attempt to film Bob Randall's stylish original 1978 novel, which was written in a wholly epistolatory style (that is, the entire story was relayed only through letters and memos), is something that seems necessarily doomed to inadequacy by the very nature of filming the book.
		Despite the similarity of titles, this film is otherwise unrelated to The Fan (1996), which featured Robert De Niro as a celebrity sports stalker.

		His screen debut was the fascinating vampire film The Hunger (1983).
		The film pulses with the play of light, with slow-motion cutaways to pitchers moving with the ball, spitting onto the pitch.
		Her role as the radio sportscaster seems superfluous and is not really connected to the main action - it gives all the appearance of a part that has been beefed up so a star can play it.

	FILM REVIEW -- `The Fan' Strikes Terror in San Francisco / De Niro's creepy in routine story
		``The Fan'' was filmed at Candlestick Park and was re-edited after the Giants expressed concerns over the movie's approach.
		``The Fan'' is well-paced and acted throughout, and the sense of going behind the scenes into the inner circle of a sports celebrity has its interest.
		So, from early on it's clear that ``The Fan'' is no ``Taxi Driver.'' It is, at best, a movie like ``Fear'' (the Marky Mark picture) or any other entry in the recent monster-picture-disguised-as-thriller genre: There is a monster.

	Hamlet (1996)
		Rufus Sewell, who plays Fortinbras, has been singled out by style and film magazines on both sides of the Atlantic as one of the faces of the 1990's.
		As the film progresses, it would seem as if there is every justification for the nervousness of the sentry who patrols the castle's gates.
		We shot the fight and all the deaths four months later so he was in the classic film thing of responding to a lot of pieces of tape.

		The film is essentially one long study of dysfunction.
		Directed with Tony Scott's (Crimson Tide) well-crafted style, The Fan is often a fun and thrilling ride.
		But there's this problem that gnaws at the viewer the whole film -- that none of the characters are remotely likable.
