    Kenji's "Canon": The Big 1000

    Favs/dislikes: 16:0. Kenji's MUBI list "I’ve called this list a canon, cos the original intention was of a wide-ranging canon, including established “classics” but also balancing the domination by Hollywood with a geographical spread. Now i’ve thought better of reinforcing received wisdom and the position of many popular and major films which hardly need promoting and which i’m not so keen on. So it’s become a personal “canon” like Rosenbaum’s 1000. Notable films I intend to see can be found on my “Percy the Porcupine” list. I need to keep extending my viewing in neglected areas of the world- Africa, Latin America, the Balkans and parts of Asia should then be better represented. We didn’t have a TV till i was 12. My first memory of going to the cinema was Fantasia- my introduction to the devil and dinosaurs. Then there was a film called Emil and the Detectives. My small town’s cinema closed when i was 7- TV was too strong a competitor-, my sole memory of films there of “red Indians” on a hill. The bigger films were at the grand metropolis of the county town of 3,000 people 20 miles away, or an even greater city of a few thousand more in the other direction. How i wept when the childcatcher caught them in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, and the sky outside had changed, with castles hidden in the majestic domes of cumulo-nimbus. At 11, The Great Escape was the greatest adventure, at 12, El Cid. At 13, i joined the school film society. I gazed in awe at the naked female on a motorbike in Vanishing Point- more fun than that boring Wild Strawberries. In my mid teens, the best discoveries were North by Northwest and Fred Astaire. At uni, on a French course, my special subject was French Cinema of the 30s- Renoir and Pagnol.. but i really got obsessively hooked on world cinema once i’d bought a video player in the late 80s (ooh those Wenders road movies!) and John Kobal’s book The Top 100 Movies (see my list on that); Tarkovsky and Mizoguchi were new names to me. Soon i saw Andrei Rublev and the rain and light had changed. Then a few years on (less availability in those days) it was the turn of Sansho the Bailiff." Notes: #361 Teen Kanya (Three Daughters, 1961) only refers to the segment "Postmaster" #471 Le plus vieux métier du monde (1967) only refers to the segment "Anticipation, ou l'amour en l'an 2000" #671 Fanny och Alexander (1982) specifically refers to the television version 1007 entries because.... #6-10 Fantômas (5 episodes) counted as one entry #339-341 Ningen no jôken trilogy counted as one entry #603-605 La batalla de Chile trilogy counted as one entry Kenji's list now has only 999 entries

    FSR: Top 5 Films by Country

    Favs/dislikes: 4:0. [b]Fergenaprido's Significance Rating - Top 5 Films by Country/Territory[/b] This started out as a personal goal to see the top five films of each country, using imdb data. After they removed the weighted rankings beyond the Top 250, I created my own formula to try to balance each rating and it's number of votes, in order to make films more comparable. I settled upon the formula of SR=(EXP(rating)*(LN(votes))/100). Why that particular formula? I tinkered around with different variations, I prefer using ln instead of log, and this formula ended up with a fairly approximate order similar to imdb's weighted formula. Here are the top five films from major and minor film countries. My current minimum number of votes is 5,000, for major countries, and less for minor countries. I excluded countries where there weren't enough films with at least 50 votes, as the SR wasn't reliable enough to rank them. I do exclude films that have had voter manipulation, but I don't exclude those rated highly because of enthusiasm from their home country (i.e. "mafias"). Not meant to be definitive, just a fun side project for me, and I decided to move it from my spreadsheet to icm this year. Feature-length films only (including documentaries). I collect the imdb data on May 1st each year, and update this list shortly thereafter. Films are listed by significance rating within each country, except section B, where films with 1,000+ ratings are listed first. I also adhere to a "1 country/territory per film" rule - I may not always get it right. Former countries (Yugoslavia, Soviet Union, etc.) that have successor states are allocated to their successor state by studio. Former countries (East Germany, North Vietnam, etc.) that were absorbed by another country are listed separately. Countries & Territories included, sorted alphabetically (by code) per section: Section A (1-205): at least 10 films with 5,000+ votes, 5 films per country (41 countries). Argentina (1-5), Australia (6-10), Austria (11-15), Belgium (16-20), Brazil (21-25), Canada (26-30), Chile (31-35), China (36-40), Czechia (41-45), Denmark (46-50), Egypt (51-55), Spain (56-60), Finland (61-65), France (66-70), UK (71-75), Germany (76-80), Greece (81-85), Hong Kong (86-90), Hungary (91-95), Iceland (96-100), India (101-105), Ireland (106-110), Iran (111-115), Israel (116-120), Italy (121-125), Japan (126-130), South Korea (131-135), Mexico (136-140), Netherlands (141-145), Norway (146-150), New Zealand (151-155), Poland (156-160), Romania (161-165), Russia (166-170), Serbia (171-175), Sweden (176-180), Thailand (181-185), Turkey (186-190), Taiwan (191-195), USA (196-200), South Africa (201-205) Section B (206-340): at least 10 films with 1,000+ votes, 5 films per country (27 countries).

Malawi beat out Cape Verde for that last spot.

    FSR: Top 5 Films by Year

    Favs/dislikes: 1:0. [b]Fergenaprido's Significance Rating - Top 5 Films by Year[/b] This started out as a personal goal to see the top five films of each year, using imdb data. After they removed the weighted rankings beyond the Top 250, I created my own formula to try to balance each rating and its number of votes, in order to make films more comparable. I settled upon the formula of SR=(EXP(rating)*(LN(votes))/100). Why that particular formula? I tinkered around with different variations, but I prefer using ln instead of log, and this formula ended up with a fairly approximate order similar to imdb's weighted formula. Here are the top five films from each year since 1919. For 1919-1934, the minimum number of votes is 1,000; for 1935-2022, the minimum is 5,000. I excluded years before 1919 because there weren't enough films with at least 1,000 votes, so the SR wasn't reliable enough to rank them. I do exclude films that have had voter manipulation, but I don't exclude those rated highly because of enthusiasm from their home country (i.e. "mafias"). Not meant to be definitive, just a fun side project for me, and I decided to move it from my spreadsheet to icm. Feature-length films only (including documentaries). I collect the imdb data on May 1st each year, and update this list shortly thereafter.

    Kenji's The Caucasus

    Favs/dislikes: 2:0. This neglected but fascinating region with high mountains and beautiful scenery, between the Black and Caspian seas, has produced some extraordinary and exceptional films. Most essential first here, the rest in year order. Sorry, I have let this list slip, will update to include more recent films soon. I thought we already had a Caucasus list here, we do have some that cover the area along with others, but i can’t locate one on the Caucasus alone. Turkey is on the edge of the Southern Caucasus, and to the North, Russia; here it’ll just be Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan, indigenous directors like Paradjanov, Kalatozov, Iosseliani, Abuladze, Peleshian and a couple of films by Atom Egoyan who is of Armenian heritage. I’m not including films set elsewhere, for instance Iosseliani’s French films, and Kalatozov’s in Russia (The Cranes are Flying…) and Cuba (I am Cuba), but i am including films by other Europeans like Since Otar Left and Journey to Armenia. See Noema’s list Georgian Cinema and "Kolar’’s list CINEMA OF AZERBAIJAN, invaluable resources that fill major gaps here. Good to see lots of Azerbaijani films now added to database. Parajanov’s Ukrainian-set Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors is a must-see too. The Iranian film Bashu the Little Stranger may also be of interest as much of it takes place in the Northern region of Gilan, which is next to the Caspian Sea and is thus culturally contiguous with the Caucasus (thanks to Chai Wallah for that info). The list is separated into a Top 14 and the rest, with both sections listed chronologically. Missing from imdb (mostly shorts): #70 Biri Vardi, Biri Yoxdu...

    Kenji's Canada: A Collection of Contraband Curiosities

    Favs/dislikes: 3:0. Kenji's list from MUBI "Some say it arrived stealthily by ship and landed at a tiny Newfoundland harbour, others that it started in the old time of Mad Jack Connelly the backwoodsman who thought himself a moose; some that it blew in on a dreaded Baffin island Nor’Nor’Easterly, others that it began with the wildest Winnipeg winter for many a year; some that it emerged from a Chinese man’s basket at Vancouver, still others that it had been in Canada as long as the Kwikwetlem people and the red upriver fish of British Columbia. A view now gaining currency is that it was born of the amorous conjunction of a mild bespectacled accordion-playing, sea shanty-composing Frenchman by the name of Ferdinand Hautbois Dutronc and a rebellious roving redhead Fiona Mactavish (a.k.a “The Tobermory Tornado”), a buxom lassie raised on prime Aberdeen Angus beef, renowned for her bare knuckle bust-ups and Highland “jumbo” jig which, along with her elan on the bagpipes, penchant for the finest malt from the isle of Muck, and concupiscent delight in publicly caressing her "husband"’s thighs (and the parts of other men besides), would enliven many a cold dark windy night in the saloons from Labrador to Manitoba. Was it a bug, a virus, a meteorite strike, or congenital abnormality, this collective eccentric, if not slightly crazy, nonconformity, this Carrollian urge for curiosities and go hang Hollywood?

And not just for the domestic audience but also for the international, which especially has noticed the tragi-comic and bittersweet outsider films by Fridrik Thór Fridriksson (e.g. Children of nature, Cold Fever, Devil’s Island, Angels of the Universe, Niceland), Baltasar Kormákur (101 Reykjavík, The Sea, A Little Trip to Heaven) and Dagur Kári (Nói albínói, Dark Horse). After a brief overview of Iceland ’s film history this lecture will focus on these directors and the present development in Icelandic cinema in relation to how it reflects the impact of modernization and globalization in a small nation that is usually associated with its sagas, its history and folklore as well as its breathtaking landscapes. (dogma95.media.ku.dk) The History of Icelandic cinema The history of Icelandic cinema begins in 1906, when a three-minute documentary was shot in Iceland by Alfred Lind. The first movie theatre opened in Reykjavík in 1906. Initially, most movie production in Iceland was foreign, largely Scandinavian, using the Iceland landscape for filming Icelandic stories and plays.
