Paste's The 50 Best Boxing Movies of All Time
Favs/dislikes: 1:0. By Christina Newland | April 9, 2024 | 1:15am Boxing and the cinema have been inseparable from the earliest days of movie-making. The propulsive excitement and fierce elegance of the sport were perfectly suited to the screen, and some of the earliest surviving motion pictures are filmed boxing matches. As the sport grew in popularity throughout the 20th century, so too did the movie genre. It’s no surprise filmmakers return to it frequently. With the sport’s mythic, violent clashes and long history of social eruption, it can be an allegory for nearly whatever you want it to be. They can be simple fight yarns, but more often they’re other things—explorations of greedy commercial exploitation, poverty, violence, race. They prod at class divisions, and at what it means to be a ‘man’ in the world. But they can also be brooding meditations on what may have been or could never be. They speak of the long dark night of the soul, a damned-if-you-do existentialism where you rise from the gutter only to be chewed up and spat out again by the fierce internal cogs of the sport. Then again, there are light-hearted celebratory biopics and slapstick parodies to choose from, too. You’ll find all of the above in our list of the 50 best boxing movies: -

Slashfilm.com's The 95 Best Family Movies Ever
Favs/dislikes: 2:0. BY BRENDAN KNAPP/JULY 17, 2023 5:15 AM EST In my home, family movie night is a weekly tradition. It's a shared experience that safely introduces my children to new ideas, places, cultures, people, and emotions. It reinforces qualities like humility, persistence, and kindness. And, of course, it's fun to snuggle up on a couch to laugh, cry, and scream together. Movie night doesn't require conversation, though it might spark one after you watch a film that challenges viewers' perceptions of reality. And unlike in the theater, you can sit wherever you want, too, though a small couch will help keep young ones within a hug's reach during tense moments. Don't worry about snacks or bathroom breaks, either; both are only a quick pause and short walk away. To help you find the best films for the event, I put together a list of the 95 best family films you can watch today. They will make family movie night (or morning, or afternoon) memorable for the entire clan, from the kindergarten-aged on up. Some films feature innovative artistic techniques, kicking open doors to new universes of creative discovery. Some films sneak in a moral lesson, the medicine the cinematic spoonful of sugar helps go down. Some may inspire impromptu dance parties, especially during the end credits. And all 95 of these movies are perfect for film-loving families, including mine. {List is ordered alphabetically, and the four Toy Story films are counted as a single entry.} ...and the ones that didn't make the cut When compiling this list, I wanted to make sure everyone in the family could enjoy every film, from kindergarten-age on up. However, young viewers, even those who can read, might struggle with captions. That means that incredible foreign films like "[url=https://www.icheckmovies.com/movies/estiu+1993/]Summer 1993[/url]" and "[url=https://www.icheckmovies.com/movies/wadjda/]Wadjda[/url]" won't work for most U.S. families, although animated films that are dubbed in English will be just fine. Violence is another issue. I fell in love with "[url=https://www.icheckmovies.com/movies/raiders+of+the+lost+ark/]Raiders of the Lost Ark[/url]" after seeing it in the theater when I was four. That's two years after I saw my first horror movie (a miniseries, actually), "[url=https://www.icheckmovies.com/movies/salems+lot/]Salem's Lot[/url]." I could handle it. I know my five-year-old daughter cannot. Many parents don't want their children to see a Nazi's face melt or bald men get butchered by propeller blades — and that's okay. "Raiders" and other violent, scary classics I loved as a kid, like "[url=https://www.icheckmovies.com/movies/poltergeist/]Poltergeist[/url]," "[url=https://www.icheckmovies.com/movies/conan+the+barbarian/]Conan the Barbarian[/url]," and "[url=https://www.icheckmovies.com/movies/jurassic+park/]Jurassic Park[/url]," can go on other family film lists, but not this one. With my picks, you may need to offer a few comforting snuggles or answer questions about violence and intolerance, but I want to make sure that everyone feels comfortable watching these films. That said, you know your kids best; if you think they're ready for slightly more mature fare, there's no better way to introduce it than by viewing the movies together. -
CBC Arts Presents: The 50 Greatest Films Directed by Canadians
Favs/dislikes: 0:0. First published in June 2023. Near, far, wherever you are — these directors have shaped not only Canadian film but the entire art of cinema around the globe. What is the greatest film ever directed by a Canadian? It’s a trickier question than it seems, and one that perhaps stokes the flames of a long and storied divide: the one between the filmmakers who have stayed in Canada to help build up our own industry… and those who left for greener pastures (at least the money kind of green). But there's no denying how significantly Canadian filmmakers have shaped the art of cinema — no matter where they’re working. There have been many lists centered around the best “Canadian films,” as there should. Canadian films — those made within our own systems of production — are a distinct representation of our artistry that deserve to be celebrated as their own entity. But why should we narrow ourselves when we’ve also done so much for cinema everywhere? What happens when we look at every single movie ever made by a Canadian filmmaker — anytime, anywhere — and stack them up against one another? So what is the greatest film ever directed by a Canadian? That’s the question we posed to film critics, programmers, and journalists to create the ultimate list. Responses poured in from across the country, and these were the 50 films that topped their ranks. The results may surprise you, or maybe they’re exactly what you expected. But either way, they make it extraordinarily clear that when it comes to the art of cinema, nothing quite compares to the Canadians lens. How was this list tabulated? We asked participants to rank the best full-length feature films directed by Canadians from 1 to 10, with film #1 being worth 10 points, #2 worth 9 points, and so on, all the way up to #10 for 1 point. 83 participants submitted ballots by the time of our deadline, voting for a total of 230 different films. The criteria for the selections were as follows: they must be directed by a filmmaker who identifies as Canadian, fully or partially, either by birth or naturalization; they could be produced or set in any country at any time; they must have a runtime of 60 minutes or over. Any films that did not meet this criteria were disqualified. Once the ballots were submitted, we added up the point totals for each film and arranged them from highest to lowest. For films that had the same number of total points, we used two tiebreaking factors. First, we looked at which film received the most Top 3 placements; the film with the most Top 3 placements won. If the films had the same number of Top 3 placements, we then looked at the total number of people who voted for each of them; the film with the highest number of votes won. Honourable Mention: [url=https://www.icheckmovies.com/movies/wavelength/]Wavelength[/url], directed by Michael Snow Michael Snow's avant-garde 1967 film received a total number of votes that tied it for 50th place, but at a runtime of 45 minutes, the film did not meet our criteria for inclusion on this list. -

Favs/dislikes: 5:0. 100 great movies that tell LGBTQIA+ stories A selection of 100 of cinema’s greatest films that tell queer stories, from the silent era to contemporary masterpieces.

From scrappy auteurs to Academy Award winners, The Queer Film Guide celebrates LGBTQIA+ stories and artists, offering a fresh take on what defines great cinema, and lending a voice to the diverse creators and characters who have shaped the artform.

Hollywood Reporter Critics Pick the 50 Best Films of the 21st Century (So Far)
Favs/dislikes: 1:0. Over the course of a few months, several Zoom meetings, and countless emails, six THR film critics came together to hash out, and rank, what they consider the greatest films since 2000. BY JON FROSCH, DAVID ROONEY, SHERI LINDEN, LOVIA GYARKYE, LESLIE FELPERIN, JORDAN MINTZER APRIL 6, 2023 Why now? Why not? Sure, we’ve yet to hit the quarter-century mark, when these sorts of lists tend to start landing. But we’ve arguably already lived through 100 years’ worth of upheaval, progress, pain, destruction, hope and heartache in the world — not to mention the film industry — since 2000. We thought it as good a time as any to look back at the films that have, to us, stood the ever-unfolding test of time. In the spirit of transparency, our methodology went something like this: We all offered up titles we thought were worthy of consideration (an initial list of well over 100 movies). Everyone voted “yea” or “nay” on each of those titles. The films with the most yeas — about 80 — advanced to the next round. Everyone scored each title from 0 to 3. We tallied up the points, and then hashed it out from there. Countless emails and a few long Zoom meetings later, we had our list. Our only parameters: All six of us had to love, like or at least respect every film on the list. And we did not consider anything from 2022; it just felt too soon (translation: after the forever-long awards season, we needed a breather from talking about Tár, Everything Everywhere All at Once and the rest of ’em). Picking the movies we love the most, while being mindful of variety and inclusivity, significance and staying power, was difficult (we know: world’s smallest violin). We wanted our list to reflect the breadth of world cinema and of our tastes, but we also didn’t want to placate or pander or allow fear of Film Twitter or Outrage Twitter (or any Twitter) to weigh on our process. That doesn’t mean we weren’t plagued by doubts along the way. What are we missing? Who are we leaving out? Why this movie and not that one? We know certain omissions and selections are bound to incite eye rolls, grumbles and maybe a shriek or two. But we tried to stay true to our love of movies, these movies, and others that didn’t make the cut. (Remember, it’s only 50!) The final list is a reflection of that love, but also of a system that favors certain stories and storytellers at the expense of others. If the list is not a model of representational balance, call us out — we can take it — but also continue to call out an industry that hasn’t given us a more diverse landscape of voices to love, hate and argue over. The most conspicuous, surprising (including to us) and, surely to some readers, infuriating, thing about our list is how many masters are missing. After all our deliberating, point tallying, reconsidering, revoting, retallying and re-deliberating, none of the following directors cracked the top 50 films or 15 honorable mentions: Clint Eastwood, Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, Terrence Malick, Spike Lee, Gus Van Sant, Jean-Luc Godard, David Cronenberg, Michael Mann, Quentin Tarantino, Steven Soderbergh, Alexander Payne, Jim Jarmusch, James Gray, Jia Zhangke, Abbas Kiarostami, Jafar Panahi, Asghar Farhadi, Apichatpong Weerasethakul and Hou Hsiao-Hsien. Ditto polarizing though prolific auteurs like Woody Allen, Roman Polanski and Lars von Trier. This wasn’t the result of any kind of “out with the old, in with the new” intention. In some cases — Scorsese, Spike, Godard — we felt their best work was pre-21st century. In Spielberg’s case, there were several films that had love (including Minority Report and West Side Story), but none that united all six of us in full-throated enthusiasm. In other cases, as in Eastwood’s Million Dollar Baby, Malick’s The New World and The Tree of Life, and Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, there were ardent supporters but also just-as-ardent detractors. In other words, we didn’t reverse-engineer the list by starting with great directors and pulling from their filmographies; we allowed the titles to emerge organically, via memory and good old-fashioned brainstorming. (Five directors — or six if you count the Coens separately — ended up with two films apiece on the list: Jane Campion, Joel and Ethan Coen, Alfonso Cuarón, David Fincher and Richard Linklater. For more stats and specifics about the results, read [url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/?p=1235362388]this breakdown[/url].) Straight-up studio comedy, action, sci-fi and horror are largely, though not entirely, absent from our final selections (cue the cries of film-critic elitism). We love those genres, we swear! Movies like Borat, The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Collateral, The Bourne Ultimatum, Master and Commander and, yes, Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy were all in contention at one point or another. But the scarcity of this type of entertainment on our list reflects what we see as a certain creative impoverishment in those genres over the past few decades. The lack of risk-taking in mainstream filmmaking, the sameness and safeness of so much of that “product,” results in few of those movies lingering in the mind for longer than their runtimes. We could go on and on about the shortcomings of our work here — not enough animation! — but that’s what we count on you for! Without further ado, here are what we consider the 50 best films of the 21st century so far.
