Box Office Mojo's All Time Adjusted Box Office
Favs/dislikes: 176:27. This list presents the all time box office top grossing movies, but adjusted for ticket price inflation. Inflation-adjustment is mostly done by multiplying estimated admissions by the latest average ticket price. Where admissions are unavailable, adjustment is based on the average ticket price for when each movie was released (taking in to account re-releases where applicable).

Butler's Fantasy Cinema: Impossible Worlds on Screen
Favs/dislikes: 63:2. From the Short Cuts book [url=http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fantasy-Cinema-Impossible-Worlds-Screen/dp/1906660166]Fantasy Cinema: Impossible Worlds on Screen[/url]. [quote]Often dismissed as simple escapist tales of sword and sorcery, fantasy is one of the fundamental impulses in filmmaking, a source of some of the most vivid and memorable films ever made that reaches far beyond the confines of a single genre. As well as some of the major genres, stylistic approaches and exponents of cinematic fantasy - from Georges Méliè̀s, Walt Disney, and Andrei Tarkovsky to contemporary fantasists such as Terry Gilliam and Peter Jackson - this volume focuses on fantasy's social function with case studies including The Thief of Baghdad (1924), Excalibur (1981), the Lord of the Rings trilogy (2001-03), and Bruce Almighty (2003). Taking in the popular and the experimental, subversive desires and reactionary dreams, this book is an accessible introduction to one of the vital energies in cinema. The Short Cuts series is a comprehensive list of introductory texts covering the full spectrum of Film Studies, specifically designed for building an individually-styled library for all students and enthusiasts of cinema and popular culture.[/quote] Three films are considered lost: - La cigale et la fourmi (1897) - La caverne maudite (1898) - Le petit chaperon rouge (1901) [url=https://www.amazon.com/Fantasy-Cinema-Impossible-Worlds-Wallflower/dp/1906660166]Source[/url] -
Cahiers du Cinéma's 100 Films for an Ideal Cinematheque
Favs/dislikes: 247:1. The top 100 most essential films of 78 French film directors, critics and industry executives. The list was compiled for and published in the French Cahiers du cinéma film magazine. [url=https://www.cahiersducinema.com/produit/100-films/]Source[/url] -
Cahiers du Cinéma's Annual Top 10 Lists
Favs/dislikes: 264:5. Cahiers du cinéma is an influential French film magazine founded in 1951. The magazine has picked its top ten films of the year, most years. Top ten films were not picked in the years 1952-1954, 1969-1980, and in the year 2003. Rankings can be viewed in my source list URL, or via the link provided in the comments section. In some cases, films tie for a certain spot in the yearly top 10; for example, 2012's #4 spot is tied between three films (consequently, there is no #5 or #6). Some directors definitely appear to be heavily preferred by those responsible for selecting the list. This list does not include the special "best of 1990s" and "best of 2000s" decade lists, though most of those twenty films are included here. (The exceptions are David Lynch's TV show Twin Peaks on the 1990s list, and Gus Van Sant's Elephant, Abdellatif Kechiche's The Secret of the Grain, and Steven Spielberg's War of the Worlds on the 2000s decade list.) Other anomalies: The TV show "24" tied for the #10 spot in 2002, along with Gus Van Sant's Gerry. Gerry also tied for #6 on the 2004 list. A TV episode "Travolta et moi" (dir. Patricia Mazuy) from the show "Tous les garçons et les filles de leur âge..." was selected as #6 in 1994. Claire Denis' episode "US Go Home" from the same series rated #9 in 1994. Raul Ruiz's Les trois couronnes du matelot (Three Crowns of the Sailor) tied for #7 in 1983 and tied for #8 in 1982. 1968's #4 spot for Histoires extraordinaires is specifically for Federico Fellini's segment "Toby Damnit." 1965's #4 spot for Paris vu par... is specifically for the Jean Rouch episode. 1959's #3 spot was claimed by Eisenstein's Ivan the Terrible. Since Part II was released in 1958, it is possible that the award was for Part II, but since my sources didn't specify a part and both parts may have been shown together, I have included Parts I & II in the list. Love it or hate it, here it is... [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cahiers_du_cin%C3%A9ma%27s_Annual_Top_10_Lists]Source[/url] -
Caimán's Top Spanish Films
Favs/dislikes: 52:2.

Cannes Film Festival - Palme d'Or
Favs/dislikes: 409:4. The Cannes Film Festival, founded in 1946, is one of the world's oldest film festivals. The private festival is held annually (usually in May) in the resort town of Cannes, in the south of France. Cannes is extremely important for critical and commercial interests and for European attempts to sell films on the basis of their artistic quality. Additionally, given massive media exposure, the non-public festival is attended by many movie stars and is a popular venue for film producers to launch their new films and attempt to sell their works to the distributors who come from all over the globe.
