Funky Bollywood: The Wild World of 1970s Indian Action Cinema
Favs/dislikes: 4:0. "Despite the often stereotypical notions of Bollywood, it’s not all weddings, wet saris and running around trees. In the 1970s, Indian cinema gave birth to a new breed of action movie, one that combined its own exuberant traditions with foreign influences like the gritty urban crime thrillers of the New Hollywood, Hong Kong martial arts cinema, and Italian exploitation fare. This was the domain of hard fighting he-men stars like Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra and Feroz Khan and badass, whip-wielding heroines played by the likes of the gorgeous Zeenat Aman, Hema Malini, and Rekha. Let world cult cinema fanatic Todd Stadtman be your guide through this world of karate killers, femme fatales, space age lairs, bombshells and booby traps with Funky Bollywood, a book with an attitude as freewheeling and feisty as its subject matter, bursting with colour and imagination on every vibrant page." -
Giallo Meltdown
Favs/dislikes: 4:0. "There’s a right way to approach a film genre and then there’s the Doomed Moviethon way. Richard Glenn Schmidt dove into the giallo by having weekend-long moviethons with sometimes up to 20 films crammed into a very short amount of time. Armed with only a very understanding wife, a disturbing amount of caffeine, and a seemingly limitless supply of junk food, Richard pushed his eyes and mind to the brink of madness and beyond. Seven years in the making, Giallo Meltdown: A Moviethon Diary lovingly covers 215 films in thirteen chapters with all the black-gloved killers, fashion models, gay stereotypes, psychosexual subplots, hooker bonfires, inheritance schemes, and gallons of fluorescent blood that the giallo is known for." -
List of Shorts Featured On MST3K
Favs/dislikes: 4:0. In addition to the features mercilessly mocked on Mystery Science Theater 3000, they often additionally included one or more shorts to run through the coals as well. Here is a complete* list of all shorts riffed on MST3K. *Note: I have elected to omit General Hospital from the list as they did not a riff a full episode but just random segments from the show. -
Sound On Sight: The Definitive Foreign Language Horror Films
Favs/dislikes: 4:0. From the site: "English language film has long been a place for some of the greatest horror film directors of all time. All the way back to Alfred Hitchcock, we have seen the genre grow and develop sub-genres, thanks to the public’s ongoing thirst for fear and the possibility of danger around every turn. But, for every Saw or Hostel or terrible remake of classic English-language horror films, there are inventive, terrifying films made somewhere else that inspire and even outdo many of our best Western world horror films. This list will count down the fifty definitive horror films with a main language that isn’t English; some may have some English-language parts in them, but they are, for the most part, foreign. Enlighten yourself. Broaden your horizons. People can get murdered and tortured in every language." -
The Disregarded Movies of Turkish Cinema
Favs/dislikes: 4:0. "In its first years Turkish cinema has found its subjects from plays and novels and began to be affected by the works admired by the world over time. Especially the Turks imitating the West tried to re-produce the successful fantastical and sciencefictional movies achieved to draw attention of the target audience. However because of the lack of techniques and technicians, they are labeled as “bad” movies by the critics when compared to the contemporaries in the world.

WhatCulture's 100 Greatest Comic Book Movies Of All Time
Favs/dislikes: 4:0. "Simple sounding questions are always the hardest to answer: why are we here? What's that smell? Why am I like this? And in this rich time of comic book movies, the question of what the best ever one is couldn't appear more simple. Everyone's got an opinion after all. Is it The Dark Knight? Is it Logan? Is it Howard The Duck (spoiler: it's not)? What's harder is saying what the top 100 comic book movies are. So, after mobilising our combined forces to work out the 100 best ever horrors, we've come together as an ensemble once more to answer that very question. Again, expect some... unexpected choices. A couple of disclaimers are necessary here: firstly, this is a democratically-decided ranking - final positions are based on the accumulated votes of all the writers involved. So it's everyone's responsibility/fault. And secondly, all movies here are based directly on existing comic books or comic book properties: so no matter how hard we might all wish it, Unbreakable doesn't count. If it did, it'd probably be in the top 10. So anyway, what actually made the list? Behold, WhatCulture's ultimate list of the best of the best of comic book movies..." -

Bleeding Skull 50: The Best Something Weird Horror Films
Favs/dislikes: 3:0. "In Midnight Movies, authors J.

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. -
Paste 50 Best Horror TV Shows of All Time
Favs/dislikes: 3:0. "The shows on this list represent a best-of, decades-long appreciation of spooky television. Some are horror comedies that never truly intended to frighten, but instead play off tropes of the genre in the vein of The Munsters. Others stretch boundaries, and would also show up on lists of the best sci-fi shows of all time, but they belong here as well. Some are simply terrifying, and are responsible for an untold number of nightmares over the years." -
Pitchfork Media's The Top 50 Music Videos of the 1990s
Favs/dislikes: 3:0. "They were still a young art form when the 1990s began, but by the end of the decade music videos and video directors were arguably at their commercial and artistic peak. In 1999, MTV's "TRL" was launching teen pop stars and serving as a better barometer of what Generation Y was listening to than the Billboard charts. Meanwhile, Spike Jonze-- who almost single-handedly codified a generation's idealized music videos by artfully employing Gen X totems such as irony, 70s nostalgia, geek chic, intertextuality, and trash culture-- was being nominated for a best director Oscar for Being John Malkovich. Throughout the decade, MTV-- with a huge assist from Clear Channel-- glued together a pseudo-music monoculture in the U.S. like almost nothing before. Songs like Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit", Dr. Dre's "Nothing But a G Thang", and Britney Spears' "...Baby One More Time" altered the landscape of pop culture so quickly in large part because they were delivered to all corners of the U.S. simultaneously by MTV. It wasn't just inevitable hits whose influence was quickened by MTV either; oddities such as Folk Implosion's "Natural One" or Danzig's "Mother 93" (or, say, Green Jelly's "Three Little Pigs", to name just one of many execrable examples) became out-of-leftfield hits for almost no other reason than someone at MTV decided they should become Buzz Bin videos. MTV's ability to place a song and musician into the pop music conversation was unparalleled at the time, and by the end of the decade that meant absurd levels of both financial and creative commitment to music videos. Creatively, videos at the time were dominated by a handful of visionary directors-- Jonze, Michel Gondry, and Chris Cunningham-- and there's no getting away from that in our list of our top 50 videos of the 90s."

Taste of Cinema's 25 Weird Animated Movies That Are Worth Your Time
Favs/dislikes: 3:0. "There is an odd perception among the general populace that animated movies are made for children. While there’s an obvious connection between children and brightly colored cartoons, adults by nature want to make things for themselves. The people that get into making animation are obviously driven by the desire to draw. But many times these people are driven by curious forces. The animation medium provides a level of creativity and freedom not seen in many other film genres. It’s only natural that a group of people would take that freedom and run with it. Like running off a cliff at high speeds, falling down into a vat of acid that eats your flesh and melts your brain. This list is collection of those decisions. It’s a list of animated films that are strange, eclectic, disturbing, or just plain bizarre. Most of the choices here are geared towards an adult audience. All of the choices here have been picked to watch while under the influence of strong self-assessment." -
