Favs/dislikes: 13:0. For their 70th anniversary (1951-2021), French film magazine compiled a list of 70 films for every year based on following criteria: - films that got credits at the time they were released and are now baffingly forgotten - important films for the Cahiers but divisive among critics - lesser known films from directors that have now gained some fame And above all, films that the Cahiers would happily defend in today's publication. -

The Dissolve 4 Stars and Up
Favs/dislikes: 13:0. Since some of the key collaborators of the AV Club Film moved on to create The Dissolve it has become one of the most important sources for online reviews (at least for me). There is a award called "Essential" marking those films, that are the most important at the time. In addition the ranking system goes from zero to five stars. This list contains all movies reviewed for their theatre release getting four or more stars. -

Time Magazine's All-TIME 100 Movies (Nominees)
Favs/dislikes: 13:0. On May 23, 2004, TIME Magazine published online their list of "100 estimable films since TIME began, with the March 3, 1923 issue." Critics Richard Corliss and Richard Schickel collaborated on the list, and their original 100 films comprise selections 1-106 below. TIME subsequently added 20 more titles in February of 2005, and they are included in titles 107-134. In the process of making the original list, Corliss and Schickel had each started with a list of over 100 nominees. Of the 36 films on both lists, 31 made the original cut. Of the remaining five, one (All About My Mother) was included in the '05 addendum while the other four are items 135-138 below. Entries 139-234 represent the remaining nominees. -
Top 150 LGBT Films
Favs/dislikes: 13:1. This is an updated list of my [url=http://www.icheckmovies.com/lists/top+100+homosexual+themed+movies/chantana/]previous version.[/url] I no longer separate between "serious" movies and movies with explicit sexual content as this distinction is idiosyncratic altogether. Many lists were updated or became longer. There will be no more ranking and calculating. The new system works much easier. Movies are sorted by the amount of times they were mentioned in the lists. New lists can be suggested and I am more than happy to find more interesting lists on the broad genre. There are essential gaps in the spheres of New Queer Cinema and LBGT porn. Both should find their way into a list like this and I am looking for good resources. One of which is Rich's brilliant book on the NQC. This is the fourth version of this list, which I update about once a year. As in the years before there is a slight increase in films. The complete list features 586 films. The lists included were: [url=http://www.thebacklot.com/top-100-greatest-gay-movies/09/2012/]TheBacklot's Top 100 Greatest Gay Movies[/url] [url=http://www.out.com/entertainment/movies/2011/02/09/50-essential-gay-films]Out Magazine's 50 Essential Gay Films[/url] Metro Weekly Gay Films Everyone Should See HuffingtonPost PRIDE The Essentials [url=http://flavorwire.com/399014/50-essential-lgbt-films]FlavorWire 50 Essential LGBT Films[/url] Total Film's 50 Best Gay Movies [url=https://www.icheckmovies.com/lists/101+must-see+movies+for+gay+men/moviedearest/]101 Must-See Movies for Gay Men[/url] [url=http://www.advocate.com/arts-entertainment/film/2014/06/23/top-175-essential-films-all-time-lgbt-viewers]Advocate 175 Essential Films[/url] [url=https://rateyourmusic.com/films/chart?page=1&chart_type=top&type=film&year=alltime&genre_include=1&include_child_genres=1&genres=queer+cinema&include_child_genres_chk=1&include=both&limit=none&countries=]Rateyourmusic Top 50 Queer Cinema[/url] The list is sorted by the most mentioned entries: 1 - 7: 8 times 8 - 11: 7 times 12 - 21: 6 times 22 - 38: 5 times 39 - 58: 4 times 59 - 91: 3 times 92 - 148: 2 times -
