Chaotic Cinema
Favs/dislikes: 7:0. I came across an interesting, self-proclaimed [url=https://letterboxd.com/afracious/list/chaotic-cinema]Chaotic Cinema[/url] list on Letterboxd of over 2,600 surreal/experimental/cult/horror films and wanted to transport it here. But inputting all those films was an enormous task, and gigantic ICM lists are always so cumbersome to load and use. So, I compromised and only entered the films I haven't seen. Which initially amounted to just about half of them. This makes the list less useful to others, but it's certainly SOME use to other fans of this warped cinematic realm. If nothing else, you can gloat about whichever films you've seen and I haven't! Inputting this list also led to importing multiple films to the ICM database. But unfortunately, there was also a surprising number of films that don't even have IMDb pages: A Vessel, the Ideas Pass Through 2021 / AAA AAA 1978 / Artificial Light x20 1969 / Atomic Bombs on the Planet Earth 2012 / Avant Coureur/Raster Relief 1983 / Chasse des Touches 1959 / Cinema Is a Mosaic Made of Time 1984 / Circumcision of Participant Observation 2013 / Conditions 2014 / Dead Dance 2009 / Diignus Vindice Nodus 1982 / Double 2001, a.k.a. Bunshin / Earth Pulse 1975 / Embodiment of Darkness 2018 / Epiphany 1984 / Excavations 1979 / Forbidden Symmetries 2014 / Geflecht 1976 / General Motors 1976 / Gewebe 1976 / He Walked Away 2006 / Highbushes Burning 2018 / Hollis Well 2012 / Horror Film 1 1971 / I Am Making Art 1971 / I Will Not Make Any More Boring Art 1971 / Intercourse With... 1978 / Lanzarote 2014 / Levitation 1972 / Light of the Body 2004 / Love Reinvented 1979, a.k.a. L'Amour Réinventé / Magic Mirror 2013 / Measures of Volatility 1979 / Moonblack 1968 / My Very Beautiful Movie 1974 / Number Two 2019 / Paul Sharits Interview with Gerard O'Grady 1976 / Performance of Video Imaging Tools 1970-1978 (a compilation of 17 video clips by various directors) / Phenomenon 2019 / Pictures of the Lost 1978 / Precession of the Simulacra 1992 / Primarily Speaking 1983 / Primary Time 1974 / Quarry 2015 / R-G-B 1974 / Relation in Time 1977 / Reverberlin 2006 / Scan Processor Studies 1973 / Script 1974 / Set of Co-incidence 1974 / Songs for Synthesized Soprano 1990 / Spinout 1983 / Teaching a Plant the Alphabet 1972 / Ten Years in the Sun 2015 / The 92 Faces of Peter Greenaway 2002 / The Dream of the Little Dancing Men 1997 / The Extinct Suite 2017 / The Loner 1980 / The Matter Propounded, of Its Possibility and Impossibility, Treated in Four Parts 2011 / The Poacher Woman of the Montafon 2011 / The Seismic Form 2020 / Theme Song 1973 / U-Barn 1968 / Unbalance 2006 / Up to and Including Her Limits 1976 / Weird Weird Movie Kids Do Not Watch the Movie 2013 / Why Do Things Get in a Muddle? (Come On Petunia) 1984 / Wilderness Series 2016 I'm going to create IMDb pages for as many of these films as my patience allows -- we'll see how I do. I believe I'm up to 145 adds now. I'll delete titles from the above block of text as I add them to ICM. I continue to remove films that I see. The list initially was 1,108 films but is much smaller now. But there's an extra wrinkle: The Letterboxd user continues to expand the list, so I'm adding films as well as subtracting them. PS Two substantial misgivings about this list: 1) Too many trashy horror movies included, just because they're gory or shocking. 2) The list's creator has a creepy fetish about arty women in film. Especially Tilda Swinton -- he runs Facebook pages about her and apparently hoards hundreds of photos of her. And this kink infects the list, which has loads of marginal, female-directed films and, of course, extra Swinton films. He's fixated on Cate Blanchett too. -
Galloway's Samurai Film Handbook & Companion
Favs/dislikes: 65:2. This list combines 2 books by Patrick Galloway: #1-51: [url=http://www.amazon.com/Stray-Dogs-Lone-Wolves-Handbook/dp/1880656930]Stray Dogs & Lone Wolves: The Samurai Film Handbook[/url] (2005) #52-91: [url=http://www.amazon.com/Warring-Clans-Flashing-Blades-Companion/dp/1933330783]Warring Clans, Flashing Blades: A Samurai Film Companion[/url] (2009) "Stray Dogs & Lone Wolves provides essential background on the samurai warrior in Japanese culture to help explain what makes these tales of loyalty, revenge and explosive swordsmanship so watchable. It covers top directors and stars and has over 50 original reviews of a wide variety of films, from classics like Samurai Trilogy and Yojimbo to influential films like Lady Snowblood, plus newly released hits like Takeshi Kitano’s Zatoichi." "Warring Clans, Flashing Blades picks up where Galloway’s fan-favorite Stray Dogs & Lone Wolves left off, delving deeper into the samurai film and its spin-off genres—yakuza, ninja, and matatabi."

Filmography of World History
Favs/dislikes: 45:0. Global in scope and a practical tool for students and teachers of history, Deanne Schultz's "Filmography of World History: A Select, Critical Guide To Feature Films That Engage The Past" includes description and analysis of over 300 historical films. A companion to Grant Tracey's "Filmography of American History," this critical reference book selects movies that represent aspects of world history from the middle ages through the twentieth century. These films adopt as their subject a wide range of historical events, people and societies of Africa, Asia-Pacific, Europe and Canada, and Latin America. Over half of the entries provide extended analysis of the historical interpretation the film brings to the screen. "Filmography of World History" argues for the potential of feature films to teach us about the past and its reconstruction in academe and popular culture. The book provides several listings of the films, the one shown here is the cross referenced list by time periods. These are divided as followed on this ICM list: 1 - 19 Medieval (c. 600-1500) 20 - 50 Early Modern (c. 1500 - 1800) 51 - 95 Nineteenth Century (1801 - 1900) 96 - 286 Twentieth Century (1901 - 2000) 287 - 292 Contemporary Note: I have ordered the list chronologically by the years the films deal with within these groups using the years the author has provided. In cases such as WW2 films that deal with the same years, these are ordered alphabetically within these years. For more detail about the specific years and regions of each movie, check out the book and/or download this excel file I made: [url]http://we.tl/vO29n6ik2d[/url] -

Official checks with unknown runtimes
Favs/dislikes: 0:0. For awhile, I've been on a peripheral quest to fill in the "unknown" runtime fields for all official-check films. With some help from others, I believe I've engineered close to 200 runtimes being added (not counting many other runtimes I've added for "unofficial" films). Usually, the process also involved submitting a runtime to IMDB first, so I'm conscientious about wanting to get the length exactly right using a credible Web resource (or hopefully, *more* than one to confirm). I share this list so others can message me if they have knowledge of these remaining films -- films for which I have either conflicting information, thin information or no information at all. Ideally, an officially cited length from some sort of catalog page (for instance, http://www.worldcat.org) seems more definitive than just quoting how long a possibly erratic torrent or YouTube video lasts, but I'll take what I can get. A few of the earliest shorts are problematic...shorts lasting under a minute seem to defy the update process. I note that three widely seen shorts from the 19th century get sifted to the top if you sort the list by runtime, even though their runtimes are listed as "unknown." Strange. -
