Amos Vogel's Film as a Subversive Art (1974)
Favs/dislikes: 3:0. Original 1974 version. This presentation of the book is very similar to the official iCM-list version. The main difference (and basically the only difference) is that this version include an additional 22 entries (examples of non-subversive films) which the official list version excludes (also, the order of the entries is slightly different). In other words, this list includes ALL films mentioned regardless if they are subversive or not. However, some films (or "entries" to be more precise) are not on IMDb yet, or appear in the book with unidentifiable stills (see bottom of list description). Films are sorted by the order they appear in the book. In some cases, the same film is discussed several times in different sections throughout the book (Blowup, 2001: A Space Odyssey, L'âge d'or, W.R. etc. They are listed here by their FIRST appearance in the book regardless if the film is discussed more thoroughly at a later stage in the book. #1-24: Acknowledgements, Preface and "The World View of Subversive Cinema" #1-2: Front cover and Back cover (and also mentioned in Acknowledgements). #25-193 :Part One - The Subversion of Form #25-37: Revolutionary Film Avant-garde in Soviet Russia #38-98: Aesthetic Rebels and Rebellious Clowns #99-117: The Destruction of Time and Space #118-131: The Destruction of Plot and Narrative #132-141: The Assault of Montage #142-160: The Triumph and Death of the Moving Camera #161-162: The Devaluation of Language #163-193: Straining towards the Limits #194-386: Part Two - The Subversion of Content #194: International Left and Revolutionary Cinema #195-257: Left and Revolutionary Cinema: the West #258-307: Left and Revolutionary Cinema: the East #308-332: Left and Revolutionary Cinema: Third World #333-338: East Germany: Against the West #339-352: Nazi Cinema #353-386: Secrets and Revelations #387-599: Part Three - Forbidden Subjects of the Cinema #387-403: The Visual Taboo #404-423: Nudity #424-468: Erotic and Pornographic Cinema #469-508: Homosexuality and Other Variants #509-514: The First Mystery: Birth #515-547: The Ultimate Secret: Death #548-575: The Attack on God #576-599: Trance and Witchcraft #600-621: Part Four - Towards a New Consciousness #600-619: Counterculture and Avant-garde #620-621: The Subversion of Subversion -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Films mentioned in the original version but not included in the revised version and/or iCM version: Staroye i novoye (Old and New) Alexander Nevsky Battleship Potemkin Ivan the Terrible Part 1 Ivan the Terrible Part 2 The Great Train Robbery Das blaue Licht Intolerance Cleopatra Der blaue Engel Gone with the Wind The Sound of Music Journal d'un curé de campagne If... O Lucky Man! The Graduate Romeo and Juliet Lebenszeichen Love Story Tout va bien ¡Que viva México! The Second in Command (The Second Coming) ...for a total of 22 additional entries compared to the iCM-version. "Nachts, wenn Dracula erwacht" page 87; never explicitly mentioned but referred to when discussing Pere Portabella's "Cuadecuc, vampir". It IS mentioned in the revised version however. "Der geile Wotan" is included here as it is mentioned and referred to, but is in fact a faulty entry (correctly replaced by the correct film "SS und Judenstern" in the revised iCM-version), page 254. Unidentifiable Keystone Film circa 1915 (page 50-51, featured still) is in fact "In the Clutches of the Gang". Unknown films/entries: UFA Newsreel, 1940 (page 194) Unidentified Nazi documentary footage (page 278) Unidentified Nazi documentary footage (page 280) Entries that aren't on IMDb: Beaver Films (Stag, 1970, USA), page 221; revised version list the years as 1967-72. The None Story (Stag, 1950s, USA), page 225; titled "The Nun's Story" in the revised version. -
1001 TV Series You Must Watch Before You Die (2015)
Favs/dislikes: 32:2. This is the 1st edition (October 2015) and the latest addition to the bestselling and highly acclaimed 1001-series. "From "Leave it to Beaver" to "Breaking Bad", "The Honeymooners" to "Homeland", this compilation of important and groundbreaking television shows is packed full of trivia and will be sure to make you want to pick up the remote or start streaming. Selected by an international team of experts and covering a worldwide spectrum of programs from the classics of the 1950s to the cutting-edge shows of today, 1001 TV Series is one of the most comprehensive books ever published on the topic of television." This volume is virtually impossible to finish (as you have to watch every single episode of every single entry). Not to mention many of the shows are still running this very day. If the authors instead chose to focus only on TV-series/TV-Mini-series/TV-movies you might have had a chance, but unfortunately, TV shows - including Game shows, Reality and Talk shows - are also included. NOTE: the book contains some TV-movies or stand-alone episodes from TV-series, but the vast majority of the entries are either TV-series, TV-Mini-series or TV shows. The genres are: Action/Adventure: 43 Animation: 13 Awards show: 3 Biography: 1 Comedy: 246 Comedy/Drama: 31 Crime: 1 Crime/Mystery: 101 Documentary: 18 Drama: 226 Fantasy/Horror/Sci-Fi: 107 Game show: 26 Historical drama: 60 Music/Musical: 13 Reality: 31 Soap opera: 28 Sports: 2 Talk Show: 16 Variety: 22 Western: 13 = 1001 TV-series/shows/movies that, according to the introduction by Robb Pearlman, "could not be included" (it is never argued why): The Winds of War (1983) Lonesome Dove (1989) Requiem for a Heavyweight (1962) [???????] Sybil (1976) Gia (1998) Trilogy of Terror (1975) Duel (1971) V (1983) Recount (2008) Game Change (2012) An Early Frost (1984) And the Band Played On (1993) Brian's Song (1971) Mildred Pierce (2011) Life with Judy Garland: Me and My Shadows (2001). Some entries that most likely will cause some problems in terms of checking them are the Awards shows: Academy Awards (#17), Golden Globe Awards (#50), MTV Video Music Awards (#365) as well as "Eurovision Song Contest" (#32). Instead of adding every single annual event for these shows, I decided to add only the earliest entry I could locate on IMDb (as if you care about those shows and/or will finish this list anyway). NOTE: "1001 TV Series You Must Watch Before You Die" and "1001 TV Shows You Must Watch Before You DIe" have identical entires (1948-2015) - as well as the same page total (960) - although they're two different books. Generally speaking, the only differences between the two books are: - the introduciton is longer in "Shows" (an introduction by Robb Pearlman) whereas "Series" have a much shorter introduction and instead have an additional index (Index by Genre). The "Index by Genre" is not featured in "Shows". - "Shows" is in hardcover whereas "Series" is in paperback. - The front and back cover are different. If you spot any errors (or if any of the abovementioned series/shows I've listed earlier has been added to IMDb), or if you have any questions about the entries or the list as a whole, please don't hesitate to PM me. -

More Noir(ish) Films from TSPDT
Favs/dislikes: 7:0. "The 842 noir(ish) films listed below contain varying amounts of film noir elements. Most have solid noir traits, but, it must be said, there are some that have very questionably been cited as noirs. However, I'm not playing the noir juror here. I haven't strayed from the numbers and therefore have made no exclusions. As per the 1,000 Noir Films, the noir(ish) films listed below are based on the number of noir-related citations* they have received (based on TSPDT's research). All films in the 1,000 Noir Films received a minimum of eleven noir-related citations. The films below received between five and ten noir-related citations. *Citations were culled from a multitude of sources (from books and the internet), including many (if not all) of the most well-known film noir-related publications. These include John Grant's A Comprehensive Encyclopedia of Film Noir, Film Noir: The Encyclopedia by Alain Silver, Elizabeth Ward, James Ursini & Robert Portforio, The Worldwide Film Noir Tradition by Spencer Selby, More Than Night: Film Noir in its Contexts by James Naremore, and many, many more."

John Wayne - The Official Movie Book (Duke's Movies Ranked from #169 to #1)

Three of the entries are serials: "The Hurricane Express", "The Shadow of the Eagle" and "The Three Musketeers". Some of the films ranked are lost (such as "The Oregon Trail"). "Seeing Stars" is a short film. Only incomplete prints (about 30 minutes of footage) from "Mother Machree" exist today. "Arizona" (1931) is somehow omitted from the book. In the case of two movies, namely "Strong Boy" and "The Lone Star Ranger", Duke is, according to IMDb, not among the cast. "Strong Boy" is also believed to be a lost film. ISBN-13: 978-1948174626 -
