100 Must See Movies: The Essential Men’s Movie Library
Favs/dislikes: 57:1. "And for better and for worse, film has had a huge impact on masculinity in the 20th Century. Movies have produced archetypes of manliness that many men judge themselves against today. To view how male characters of cinema have been portrayed over the decades, is to see clearly the ways in which our perception of masculinity has changed and continues to change." -

Tim Dirks' Most Controversial Films of All-Time
Favs/dislikes: 88:1. Films always have the ability to anger us, divide us, shock us, disgust us, and more. Usually, films that inspire controversy, outright boycotting, picketing, banning, censorship, or protest have graphic sex, violence, homosexuality, religious, political or race-related themes and content. They usually push the envelope regarding what can be filmed and displayed on the screen, and are considered taboo, "immoral" or "obscene" due to language, drug use, violence and sensuality/nudity or other incendiary elements. Inevitably, controversy helps to publicize these films and fuel the box-office receipts. -

Paste Magazine: The 100 Best Documentaries of All Time
Favs/dislikes: 8:0. In documentary filmmaking, truth is almost always filled with lies. It’s just the nature of the form, really—of any filmmaking at all, for that matter. Even a home video recording, if you’ve ever made or watched or starred in one, is marred by manipulation: Whether you’re aware you’re being “watched” or not, your truth is a sort of surreal quilt of camera placement, cuts and atmosphere, totally mitigated by the lens and then, further down the food chain, the ultimate observer. If you know you’re being watched, you act accordingly; if you don’t, the recording may carry a subtle tone of voyeurism, of intrusiveness—the feeling that something isn’t quite right. And yet, from direct cinema to Dogme 95, truth has always been an idealistic goal for many filmmakers, and not necessarily the purity of it, but the translation of its most deeply held essentials. Arguably, documentary filmmaking has always been at the forefront of that aim, though during much of its primordial beginnings—especially throughout the 1920s, ’30s, and ’40s—documentary filmmakers trolled truth as if it was yet another stuffy branch of bourgeoisie power. In Land Without Bread (1933), Luis Buñuel parodied the white guilt of popular travelogue docs of the time, pointing out that sadness and economical devastation existed in Spain itself—no need to travel to some faraway land. In Nanook of the North (1922), the life of an Inuit clan was notoriously messed with. And Man with a Movie Camera (1929) pretty much just made a bunch of shit up. Their goals weren’t to leave truth unfondled, but to say that an unfondled truth is an unexplored one: shallow and meaningless. Once Jean Rouche, Frederick Wiseman, D.A. Pennebaker and the Maysles, however, pioneered and then defined throughout the 1950s and ’60s what came to be known as cinéma vérité, documentary filmmaking shouldered the burden of truth, resolving to allow life to operate on its own, brushed only briefly by the manipulative fingers of the filmmaker. This was coupled with advances in filmmaking technology, notably that equipment became lighter, and more mobile. In turn, crews shrank, and coverage became paramount. That Nick Broomfield’s films are filmed with a minute crew on minute budgets, or that Oscar-winning Searching for Sugar Man (2012) was captured partly on an iPhone camera, means that today, as it is with most art, anyone can be a documentary filmmaker. Which isn’t a bad thing. Because truth belongs to the people, by definition—it is ours to shape and hone and mold into something that enriches each of our lives and each of our worldviews however we see fit. That the following list leans heavily on films released in the past five years isn’t a coincidence, nor is it a factor of some shortsighted list-making. Instead, it points directly to our increased capacity to capture, reproduce and respect truth. If anything, we’re coming full circle. Will the truth set you free? Probably not, but we believe the following 100 documentaries are the all-time greatest attempts to find out. -

CONELRAD 100
Favs/dislikes: 9:0. Let's face it: That much touted American Film Institute list of a few years ago was one of the laziest exercises in modern list-making since Entertainment Weekly began publication. The average person could sneeze out a hundred films in their sleep and be reasonably assured of duplicating 75% of the AFI's stunningly mainstream cinematic enumeration. The CONELRAD 100, on the other hand, is a highly specialized and, in some cases downright obscure, round-up by and for the Atomic film connoisseur Many of these titles you may never have heard of. But that's what makes this list DIFFERENT, educational and, above all, FUN. Over the past four years, the editors of CONELRAD spent numerous hours watching and researching 300 motion pictures with Atomic and/or Red Scare/Cold War themes. From this collection we revved up the particle separator and painstakingly pared the list down to a clean 100. But unlike the AFI's collection, this list is not cast in stone. We invite spirited debate and submissions of Atomic tites we may have missed. CONELRAD will soon be presenting a fully searchable database of ALL three hundred films that we came across in determining the big 100. Eventually, we will repost a democratically elected 100, but for now we offer these films for fiery discussion purposes. So have at it! -

Films Fatale: Best 100 Music Videos of All Time
Favs/dislikes: 0:0. Why did I want to keep trying to complete this list? Well, I feel like I have one vantage point that would make this experiment different than any other similar ones. Music video lists are usually compiled on music and/or multimedia websites. Films Fatale is strictly cinema (and television) based content. I felt like it may be unique to rank the best music videos ever from a cinephile standpoint. Would I fall for the usual videos that get mentioned on all of these lists, or would I be persuaded by the cinematic, innovative works that wowed me as a film buff? You may find that both outcomes came true, in this tug-of-war of the two hemispheres of my brain: the part that loves cinema, and the half that adores music. To try and make this a bit easier for me, I have a couple of conditions. I want these selections to be conjured up works, directed and orchestrated to be music videos. This means a hard pass on videos that are just recordings or documentations of live performances (or performances of any sort, if the video focused entirely on them); some older videos get a bit of a pass, considering the time period, as long as enough artistic, cinematic, and aesthetic creativity got put into them. Furthermore, any music video that is predominantly based on film clips aren’t included -
Films Fatale's The 100 Best Shot Films of All Time
Favs/dislikes: 4:0. November 1, 2021 WRITTEN BY ANDREAS BABIOLAKIS Movie is a casual term used for what was once commonly called the motion picture; films also works to describe the same storytelling medium. The point is that even before the films we know now came to be, they were once just twenty four still images per second, flipped in succession to create this illusion of movement. At its very core, it still is somewhat a photographical art form, with emphasis on framing, mise-en-scéne (the placement of focal points and other subjects within a shot to be aesthetically and narratively pleasing), and lighting and/or colour coordination. A lot of this is achieved by set design, makeup and hair, digital effects, and other external factors, but cinematography brings everything together in one visual amalgamation.There are many things to love about films, but cinematography goes as far back as the art form itself. I guess what I am saying is that this list is unquestionably the most difficult of the extra lists I have done on this site. I have quite possibly one hundred additional honourable mentions, and have had to cut so many films I adore because one hundred spots just aren’t enough. Alas, it is the satisfactory sounding number that I stuck with: the official one hundred that always makes lists of this nature sound important. Chances are you’re going to be livid with me, and I am mad at myself as well. These are the caveats of loving an endlessly plentiful medium like cinema, and trying to limit everything to barely a fraction of a percent of its entire history. If your favourite looking film isn't here, there is a high chance it was considered and appreciated, and reluctantly omitted. If anything, this list may have been even more painful to finalize than any of my film lists; yes, even the ‘60s one (which was the original most difficult list to conclude). When I say I was making final changed the night before this list was released, understand that I am writing this on Halloween. I don't need to celebrate this spooky holiday when my actual nightmares are already here. Anyway, let’s get down to business. What I’m looking for is a variety of qualifications. Firstly, how do these films look either in black-and-white or in colour? I am taking into consideration how much of these results are based on what is in front of the camera (like brightly coloured sets and outfits), which aren’t really a product of the camerawork itself; however, I am rewarding the photography that makes the most of these situations and enhances these setups as much as possible. Secondly, how is the camera movement (zooms, pans, dolly work and more), and does the photography still look good during these techniques? I’m also considering the usage of various shot techniques, angles, shadows, landscapes, profiles, and virtually any other photographical result one can achieve. Something that also makes this list difficult: being in the digital age. I’m trying to stray away from films that are strictly (or mostly) digital masterpieces like Avatar or Sin City: I want this to be as based on the actual capturing of physical subjects as possible. Alright, we may as well get this over with. As difficult as it was to narrow this list down, it makes me only happier with just how tight these following films are within this criteria. Here are the one hundred best shot films of all time. This Top 100 has 104 titles because: #25 includes Olympia parts 1 & 2 #27 includes the entire Three Colours trilogy #28 includes The Godfather parts 1 & 2 (but not 3) -
Paste's The 100 Best Anime Movies of All Time
Favs/dislikes: 108:2. Establishing the best anime movies can be tricky. After all, despite now being one of the most ubiquitous cultural properties of the 21st century, anime, thanks to over a century’s worth of the medium’s evolution and reinvention, is especially difficult to define. From the five-minute shorts of Oten Shimokawa in 1917, to the feature-length animations produced during World War II, to the pioneering production cycles of Tezuka in the ’60s and the auteurist innovations of the likes of Miyazaki and many others towards the latter half of the last century, anime has morphed through countless phases. Amateur efforts, nationalist propaganda fodder, niche cultural export turned eventual global phenomenon: Each iteration conforms to the shape of the times in which it was produced. Television expanded the medium during the 1960s, birthing many of the essential genres and subgenres that we know today and forming the impetus for the anime industry’s inextricable relationship to advertising and merchandising from the 1970s onward. The arrival of home video catapulted anime to its commercial and aesthetic apex, fanning outward from island nation of Nippon to the far shores of North America and back, before again being revolutionized by the unprecedented accessibility of the world wide web throughout the ’90s and early aughts. Anime film owes much to the evolving means of production and distribution throughout the late 20th century, the breadth and audacity of the medium’s content widening and contracting along with its running time to cater to the emerging palettes of audiences both new and old, at home and abroad. But where does one begin to tackle the aesthetic and historical precedent that anime film has left on pop culture and global entertainment in the last century? This list is an attempt to do just that: to create a primer of 100 of the most influential and essential films that Japanese animation has produced, and to offer a thorough aesthetic, technical and historical breakdown of why these film matter. With that aim in mind, Paste is proud to enlist the curatorial talents of Jason DeMarco, on-air creative director of Adult Swim and co-creator of Toonami, whose unique role in anime’s emerging popularity in the West has helped to hone this list. Given the shared evolution between anime film and television and the aforementioned significance of the home video revolution, this list includes not only traditional features but also original video animations made for home video (OVAs) and anthology films— with the stipulation of each entry having at some point premiered in theaters. It is our hope that in creating this list we have created an entry point for both the expert and the layperson to trace the rich history of anime’s legacy on both film and popular culture, and to offer newcomers a comprehensive guide through to learn, rediscover, and explore the fullness that the genre of Japanese animation has to offer now and into the future.

Paste's 100 Greatest War Movies
Favs/dislikes: 8:0. War. What is it good for? Well, if nothing else, then a tidy template for cinema: conflict, clear protagonists and antagonists, heightened emotions, and a generally unpredictable, lawless atmosphere which—as per the western—has since the dawn of cinema offered an elastic dramatic environment in which filmmakers can explore men at both their best and worst. And make no mistake, the war movie is almost always about men. It’s the most masculine of genres, the fact that armies have throughout history often been almost exclusively male seeing to it that men almost always dominate these things. It’s a genre that emphasizes action and existential angst. It’s also a malleable genre, and one that could broadly include all manner of films that we ultimately ruled out of the running in this list. With this top 100, we’ve made the decision to include only movies whose wars are based on historical conflicts, so none of the likes of Edge of Tomorrow or Starship Troopers. We’ve picked films that deal with soldiers, soldiering and warfare directly, meaning wartime movies set primarily away from conflict, often told largely or exclusively from the civilian perspective—a category which includes such classics as The Cranes Are Flying and Hope & Glory, Grave of the Fireflies and Forbidden Games—didn’t make the cut. Post-war dramas, like Ashes and Diamonds and Germany, Year Zero, as well as films that go to war for only a fraction of the running time, such as From Here to Eternity and Born on the Fourth of July, were also excluded. Some tough choices were made on what actually constituted a “war movie.” Resistance dramas feature in this list, but Casablanca doesn’t appear. Likewise Robert Bresson’s A Man Escaped and Sidney Lumet’s The Hill. It was decided ultimately that the war was too much a peripheral element in these films. On the other hand, while both western The Good, The Bad and The Ugly and biopic The Imitation Game feature war prominently, they, like Casablanca (a romance with noir and thriller elements) plus A Man Escaped and The Hill (both prison movies), belong more obviously to other genres. We’ve also decided not to include movies which focus on the Holocaust here; those are set to appear in another feature entirely. Regarding the films that do feature here: our 100 hail from all over the world. These films were released as recently as last year and as far back as 1930. They range from comical to harrowing, action-packed to quietly introspective, proudly gung-ho to deeply anti-war. They are a diverse set of movies; they are also worthy of being called the 100 greatest war movies ever made. Published May 2017 -

BBC's The 100 Greatest TV Series of the 21st Century
Favs/dislikes: 6:1. October 18th, 2021: This year, it felt about time that we turned our attention to another art form: television. That's in part because TV has played such a crucial role in many of our lives over the past 18 months, when we have relied on it for information, entertainment, solace and inspiration in equal measure. It felt like the right time to survey the television landscape because arguably it has been the defining art form of the past 21 years: where once, rightly or wrongly, it was largely patronised as cinema's younger, more rough-and-ready sibling, today its artistic credibility is unassailable, while the advent of streaming platforms has also given shows the ability to reach unprecedented global audiences all at once. And so, in order to mark TV's ascendancy, we have decided to ask the question: what are the greatest TV series of the 21st Century? While in no way definitive, the answers we have collated are fascinating – and, we hope, will inspire TV lovers everywhere to both seek out titles they haven't seen before, and further reflect on and discuss ones they have. In total, 460 different series were voted for by 206 TV experts – critics, journalists, academics and industry figures – who came from 43 countries, from Albania to Uruguay. Of these voters, 100 were women, 104 were men, and two were non-binary. Each voter listed their 10 favourite TV series of the 21st Century, which we scored and ranked to produce the top 100 listed below. ---BBC Culture -
