    Anime News Network: Buried Treasure

    Favs/dislikes: 1:0. "It's long been said in anime fandom that new fans tend to ignore anything made more than a few years before they caught the otaku bug. I don't think that's quite fair - even the newest anime fans still see Evangelion and Cowboy Bebop. But that's two shows. And there are thousands of anime, and hundreds domestically released in some way. Some of it is garbage, and there's very little of it that one can honestly say that not seeing it would be "missing out." But, if you look closely, there are little treasures, both polished and unpolished, here and there, strewn about the history of the art form. And I can honestly say that missing them would be a true shame. So, combining my museum curator instincts with my obsession for collecting obscure media, I present to you my selections of anime masterworks of decades past. It's my hope that this column will help you discover some classics that you otherwise never would have seen." -From the intro to the first Buried Treasure by Justin Sevakis. #89-110 lists anime in a reoccurring column "Buried Garbage" comprised of so-bad-it's-good anime.

    Anime-Planet's Best Noir Anime

    Favs/dislikes: 2:0. "Noir is a genre from the 40s and 50s that features hardboiled cynical heroes, femme fatale, and bleak, sleazy settings. These anime either take place in 40s and 50s, or are considered Neo-Noir: titles that combine elements of Noir in a modern or futuristic setting."

    AV Club's The 25 Best Horror Movies Since 2000

    Favs/dislikes: 7:0. From the intro of the article: "Sixteen contributors submitted ranked ballots of their favorite horror movies released in the United States since the year 2000, including a few that opened internationally before then. These are not the scariest films of our new millennium, but simply the greatest that happen to occupy the horror genre. As such, we tried to be fairly strict with the definition; films that feel like horror but wouldn’t necessarily be classified as such by IMDB or Netflix—like David Lynch’s two post-2000 magnum opuses, or Pan’s Labyrinth, or Requiem For A Dream—were excluded. (The only film that would have made the list had it not been deemed ineligible after ballots came in was Under The Skin—and even then, just barely.) Conversely, we felt little need to inclusively cater to the major horror trends of the period: Just as it’s possible to love ’80s horror without loving a single slasher movie, one can appreciate where the genre has gone these past 15 years without citing the Saw series, defending the endless string of modern Exorcist clones, or apologizing for the ongoing found-footage movement."

    Favs/dislikes: 3:0. "In Midnight Movies, authors J. Hoberman and Jonathan Rosenbaum describe underground movies as “redolent of danger, secrecy, subversion, resistance, and liberation; not to mention perversity, alienation, and even madness.” They didn’t know it, but they were also defining Something Weird."

Indian documentary about Goa Sharks (1975) Book says it features teens getting loaded on the beach in the opening *For Stand-Alone TV Programs and Underground Films, only films present on IMDB were included on the list as both lists included many very obscure films that I could locate little to no reference to anywhere outside this book. Given the author did much of his research at a local library in San Francisco, the possibility exists than many of the referenced films are super 8mm home movies and other amateur productions that make it difficult to determine the source of.
  11. CrimeReads' Korean Noir: A Guide to the Classics's icon

    CrimeReads' Korean Noir: A Guide to the Classics

    Favs/dislikes: 1:0. "South Korean cinema is a wild, confounding hydra. There is the art house fare winning accolades at international festivals; the steady flow of mainstream, industry-approved movies filling theaters; and the boundless riches of a genre cinema that never ceases to astound. Of course, these types of movies most assuredly overlap as well. South Korean crime films, in particular, are an arsenic-laced delight. Expect investigations proceeding on rainslick streets at night; elaborately choreographed gun duels and all-out brawls with everyday items; and entangled relationships among friends, lovers, and enemies. That’s not all; these tales of crime and woe frequently mutate, becoming something else, mixing their DNA with strands of action, thrillers, police procedurals, comedy, and that staple of Korean cinema: melodrama. By the new millenium, Korean crime films became stranger, bloodier, and more uncontainable, rivaling Hong Kong and Japan for singular genre output. This survey is simply a guide, a sample platter of the delectable works in Korean film history. It shines a spotlight on both landmark films and deepcuts from the 1950s to the ‘00s."

  23. Films Fatale Best Miniseries of All Time's icon

    Films Fatale Best Miniseries of All Time

    Favs/dislikes: 1:0. "I’ve reached the final massive television based list I will be writing: the best miniseries of all time. In case you didn’t notice, there is no set number to this list like I typically have on my usual articles. There is a reason for this. I initially was going to set this list to fifty entries, which, as you can see (if you are reading this upon the release of this ranking), there are in fact fifty entries. I didn’t feel like one hundred would have worked out nicely, but I also saw that fifty wasn’t quite enough, and I’ll tell you why: I believe we are actually in the prime years of the miniseries medium. I can only imagine that they will keep getting better and better, or that we will have a consistent influx of great miniseries from here on out. That is already the case; you’ll notice how many 2010’s entries are here. I’ve been blown away by Pachinko whilst completing this list, and even then I feel like that there may be a spot for it on this list once my high settles. That’s kind of the point. More than any list I’ve written so far, I feel like there is room for so much fluctuation on this list. So I start off with fifty, but I want this list to be a fluid one that I can keep adding to here and there. I’ll be updating every list when I notice something I’ve missed before (for retrospective lists) or watch something newer that feels fitting, but I purposefully want this miniseries list to progressively evolve over time, especially since I feel like there is a great chance that it will (and soon, too). One other note I should bring up is the first bits of crossover you’ll notice on any of my lists, and I must explain myself. When I first started Films Fatale, I intended on covering films and films alone. I’ve clearly branched out and have begun covering television contents (in big enough doses, too). There are a number of TV “films” that have made my films list that you will find here. Instead of pulling them out of my previous lists, or updating my other lists with a plethora of miniseries, I just figured that some crossover is fine. I didn’t think this far ahead. Whatever. It’s fine. Back on the topic at hand, I must say that this is the perfect way to round up all of my lists, which have taken two and a half years (!) of work, as I began with film content, branched out into television analyses, and now have bridged the two with the closest amalgamation they can possibly ever have (outside of TV movies): the miniseries. What stories are best told in a medium-length art form (not film-length short or long form series extremities). Additionally, if a series started off as a miniseries but kept going, I’ll consider these first seasons. If they’re anthological miniseries in the guise of one overall show, they will be considered as well (and the specific “seasons” I want to include will be highlighted). Here are the best miniseries of all time; be sure to keep in touch with this list, as it will be growing from time to time."
