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) -

Acclaimed Films from Around the World
Favs/dislikes: 22:0. For each country, I selected a maximum of 2 films, 1 film per director. Countries that no longer exist are listed by their current names. The films are listed alphabetically by country (see the [url=http://www.imdb.com/list/pdJOKYfXmys/]IMDb list[/url] to see which films are from which country). I did not use a formula to select the films, but my selections are mainly based on the following criteria: 1. Country-specific and region-specific critic polls. 2. Non-country-specific critic polls. 3. Various other lists. 4. Rotten Tomatoes scores and ratings. Note: Although the list has room for improvement, I lost interest, so I am not planning to update it. -
