100 Norwegian Films You Must See
Favs/dislikes: 60:2. This is a list of the one hundred and one films listed in the book "100 norske filmer du må se" (100 Norwegian films you must see), edited by Gunn E. Schmidt, published in 2008. The list is first and foremost a presentation of lots of evidence that Norwegian film is better than it's reputation. -
J. Hoberman and Jonathan Rosenbaum's Midnight Movies
Favs/dislikes: 60:1. "These are a few of the over 100 films discussed in Midnight Movies, a comprehensive and in-depth look at the subculture movies of the past three decades. Here is the complete history of cult films, their makers, and their audience; an examination of how films become "midnight movies," and what keeps audiences coming back to see them over and over; an exploration of the connections between subversive film and the subcultures from which it emerges." Missing films: ?? - Comedome-1 John Waters - Dorothy, The Kansas City Pothead (unfinished) -
Danny Peary's Cult Movies
Favs/dislikes: 45:1. "'Cult Movies' is a 1981 book by Danny Peary, consisting of a series of essays regarding what Peary described as the 100 most representative examples of the cult film phenomenon.

Bad Movies We Love
Favs/dislikes: 33:3. Compiled by Edward Margulies and Stephen Rebello, the caustically clever authors of Movieline magazine’s popular feature “Bad Movies We Love”, this outrageous 1993 book leaves no stone (including Sharon) unturned as it skewers some of Hollywood’s biggest big-budget film fiascos ever and the stars and filmmakers who made it all happen. -
Histoire(s) De Films Francais: 91 French Films
Favs/dislikes: 33:1. This list is from Jean-Luc Douin's book [url=http://www.amazon.fr/dp/2047299519]Histoire(s) De Films Francais[/url] (2005) about the history of French cinema. -
The B List: The National Society of Film Critics on the Low-Budget Beauties, Genre-Bending Mavericks, and Cult Classics We Love
Favs/dislikes: 33:0. "Once the B movie was the Hollywood stepchild, the underbelly of the double feature. Today it is a more inclusive category, embracing films that fall outside the mainstream by dint of their budgets, their visions, their grit, and occasionally—sometimes essentially—their lack of what the culture cops call 'good taste'." -
One Hundred and One French Film Noirs
Favs/dislikes: 32:0. From Robin Buss' book "French Film Noir". -

100 Anime (BFI Screen Guides)
Favs/dislikes: 28:0. This list is from Philip Brophy's book [url=http://filmstore.bfi.org.uk/acatalog/info_178.html]100 Anime[/url] (2005). "100 Anime is an exploration of the wonderfully complex and beautifully disorienting world of Japanese animation - anime. This expansive and mind-blowing book delves deep into the chaos of meaning gorged by anime's mutation of Eastern/Western themes, images and sounds." This is not a list of the "100 Greatest Anime." Some of the titles were selected in order to analyze Japanese pop culture and to show how vast the world of anime is. The list is in alphabetical order. Missing from IMDb: SD Gundam (1988) -
The World History of Animation: Time Line
Favs/dislikes: 28:0. This list is from Stephen Cavalier's book [url=http://www.amazon.com/World-History-Animation-Stephen-Cavalier/dp/0520261127]The World History of Animation[/url] (2011). The book starts with an introduction and brief histories of world animation, with a list of key films for each continent. The rest of the book is a chronological time line of films, with information about each film as well as biographies and explanations of animation techniques. This is the chronological time line. I'm including only the films that have their own section, not all of the films mentioned within the text. For series of shorts, I included only the 1st from each series.

The Director's Vision: A Concise Guide to the Art of 250 Great Filmmakers
Favs/dislikes: 25:0. "The 250 films which each had a still frame chosen to represent a director’s visual style. Chosen by Geoff Andrew." Missing: The Keystone Cops (Mack Sennett) -
The Mammoth Book of Slasher Movies Chronology
Favs/dislikes: 23:0. Lifted from the Chronology of Movies section of Peter Normanton's "Mammoth Book of Slasher Movies," which would more accurately be described as an overview of gore/exploitation movies than a history of slasher movies. This replicates the order of the chronology as printed in the book, so all examples of movies being out of chronological order in the below list are mistakes made in the original publication. -

Favs/dislikes: 22:0. This list is from the book [url=http://www.amazon.com/Eros-Plus-Massacre-Introduction-Japanese/dp/0253204690]Eros Plus Massacre: An Introduction to the Japanese New Wave Cinema[/url] (1988) by David Desser -
The A List: The National Society of Film Critics' 100 Essential Films
Favs/dislikes: 22:0. "While there are plenty of encyclopedic lists of films, this compulsively readable book of 100 essays—most written expressly for this volume-flags the best of the best as chosen by a consensus of the National Society of Film Critics." -
Complicated Women
Favs/dislikes: 21:0. A list of movies referenced in Mick LaSalle's book on the pre-Code era, Complicated Women: Sex and Power in Pre-Code Hollywood. I've included every film listed in the appendix, save Broadway After Dark and The Snob, which are considered lost.
