E! Online News - 25 Classics Added to National Film Registry Indeed, all films face inevitable decay--nitrate negatives and prints from pre-1950 flicks continue to deteriorate, later film stocks tend toward color-fading and the present-day acetate-based safety film is susceptible to other icky (and smelly) kinds of film rot. In its ninth year, the registry, now at 225 titles, is an ongoing roster of movies that are considered important examples of cinema as an American art form. Ronald Reagan's on the list for winning one for the Gipper in 1940's Knute Rockne, All American and Jimmy Stewart is on twice, for Hitchcock's classic study of peeping, Rear Window (the fifth Hitch title noted) and for the astonishing Western The Naked Spur, in which he's a bounty hunter on location in the Rockies. www.eonline.com /News/Items/Pf/0,1527,2130,00.html   (547 words)

spielbergfilms.com - National Film Registry Drive To become a part of the Registry, a film must be "at least 10 years old and be culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant."

First, as 2003 marks the tenth anniversaries of both JURASSIC PARK and SCHINDLER'S LIST, both films are now eligible for inclusion in the Registry (as films must be at least a decade old for consideration).

GreenCine main member - Video-On-Demand, Online DVD Rental Now that the Berlin International Film Festival has given us a peek at the lineup for the 2006 edition, it's a good time to review how this year's edition played as David Hudson covered it at GreenCine Daily. Saviour of the Soul, with Andy Lau and Anita Mui, is a sci-fi oddity, "a hyperkinetic amalgam of Chinese ultra-violence, creepy twin sisters, flying priestesses" (Austin Chronicle) written by Wong Kar-wai - whose latest film, 2046, zips between the past and future with nearly as many dizzying narrative twists. Just up is Heather Johnson's interview with Irving and Mark Bittner, the man who drew her attention to San Francisco's flock and, thanks to the generosity of GreenCine and Docurama, you can win a copy of the film, too. www.greencine.com /list?action=viewList&listID=3712   (844 words)

Scarface (1932 movie) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The film was completed in 1930 but censors would not allow its release until 1932, because of concerns that it glorified the gangster lifestyle and showed too much violence. The film is loosely based upon the life of Al Capone (whose nickname was "Scarface").

2001: A Space Odyssey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The film then leaps millions of years to the year 1999 (via a widely famous and much-parodied jump cut) from a murder-weapon thigh bone, tossed high in the air by an ape-man, to satellites orbiting the earth (actually bombs, though that was not mentioned in the film). In addition, the TV series The Prisoner was also being filmed next door, and series star/executive producer Patrick McGoohan borrowed a piece of special effects footage made for 2001 (namely an image of stars in the night sky) for use in a scene for his show. The film itself draws attention to this, with impressive tracking shots inside the rotating "wheel" which provides the artificial gravity, contrasting it with the weightlessness outside the wheel such as during the repair or the HAL disconnection scenes. www.lighthousepoint.us /project/wikipedia/index.php/2001:_A_Space_Odyssey   (844 words)

Jaws (movie) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In 2001 the United States Library of Congress deemed the film "culturally significant" and selected it for preservation in the National Film Registry. It was a key film in establishing the benefits of a wide national release backed by heavy media advertising, rather than a progressive release that let a film slowly enter new markets and build support over a period of time. Jaws (1975) is an American film, based upon a bestselling novel by Peter Benchley, which tells the story of a resort town's sheriff who tries to protect beachgoers from the predations of a huge great white shark by closing the beach, only to be overruled by the town council. www.peekskill.us /project/wikipedia/index.php/Jaws_(movie)   (844 words)

Taxi Driver - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia However, in the documentary Making "Taxi Driver" (included in the DVD release of the movie), Foster stated that she was present during the setup and staging of the special effects used during the scene; the entire process was explained and demonstrated for her, step by step. A brief epilogue of sorts ends the film and shows Shepherd's character climbing into Bickle's cab, and commenting on his "saving" Iris and Bickle's own media fame, but Travis seems to be mentally recovered now and denies himself as being any sort of hero. Taxi Driver was a financial success and it was #47 on the American Film Institute's list of 100 Years, 100 Movies, and #22 on its 100 Years, 100 Thrills. www.bonneylake.us /project/wikipedia/index.php/Taxi_Driver   (844 words)
