Mystery Writers of America "Edgar Award: Best Motion Picture"

Criterion Collection Themes - Tearjerkers
Favs/dislikes: 2:0. There is a genre of classic films that, finely crafted as they are, we remember first and foremost for their ability to wring tears from us. Can one even think of Leo McCarey’s Make Way for Tomorrow or Vittorio De Sica’s Umberto D. without immediately recalling their beyond poignant ultimate scenes? And what would Akira Kurosawa’s Ikiru or Stanley Kubrick’s Paths of Glory be without those final waterworks (the characters’ and ours)? From Ozu family sagas to Sirk melodramas, we have a large selection of titles for those looking for a little cinematic catharsis. So come and cry along with Criterion. -

DigitalDreamDoor 100 Greatest Silent Movies
Favs/dislikes: 8:0. Background: - Between 1860 and 1895 silent films were short novelty attractions at fairs, and in Kinetescope parlors. In 1895 the first public showing by the newly invented 'film projector' allowed an 'audience' to view films. The first 'feature-length' films came out in 1913, and in the new "Age of the Silver Screen" producers from the U.S.A, France, Russia, and Germany created the most successful silent movies. Recorded sound effects and music began to be added to feature films in 1926. 'The Jazz Singer' (1927) was the first mostly silent feature film to include some synchronized dialogue. 'The Lights of New York' (1928), was the first all-synchronized-sound feature length movie. Over the next few years, the number of silent movies decreased as more films used the new sound technology. Criteria: - These Greatest Silent Movies were chosen for their direction, acting, storyline, cinematography, originality, box office success and popularity. Plus their historical importance & innovativeness in the infancy of motion pictures. -
Criterion Collection Themes - Classic Hollywood
Favs/dislikes: 5:0. Oh, those movies from the dream factory. There’s nothing quite like them. Products of a streamlined studio system, classic Hollywood films have always had a peculiar magic. With their clearly delineated cause-and-effect narratives, invisible continuity cutting style, and glamorous stars, these movies were designed to go down as easy as champagne. Yet we now recognize the directors, writers, cinematographers, and technical craftspeople behind the studios’ effervescent entertainments as artists, and the style they forged is one of the most distinct, beautiful, and important in cinema history. Here are the comedies, romances, melodramas, thrillers, and fantasies in the Criterion Collection that hail from those golden years of Hollywood, commonly defined as 1917 to 1960. -
DigitalDreamDoor 100 Greatest Musicals
Favs/dislikes: 6:0. The 'Film Musical' is a feature length movie where the characters sing a number of songs throughout the film relating to the story and expressing their thoughts and feelings. Many are adaptations of 'Stage Musicals', the biggest hits being from 'Broadway' theater. These Greatest Musicals were ranked for their storyline, songs/music, acting, direction, & box-office success. This list does not include 'Animated' musical films. -
When Hollywood Came to Town (Other Films)
Favs/dislikes: 1:0.

TV series not included. Sorted chronologically, then alphabetically. See the main list here: https://www.icheckmovies.com/lists/when+hollywood+came+to+town/yormovies/ -

DigitalDreamDoor 100 Greatest Sport Movies

(Not included sports are: martial arts, gladiators, chess, rodeo, which are included in some other "Sport Movie" lists.) -
Screwball: Hollywood's Madcap Romantic Comedies
Favs/dislikes: 21:0. "Irreverent, elegant, sublime, and ridiculous, the screwball films of the 1930s and 1940s are a timeless collison of high wit and low slapstick, in which the players used street-smart repartee to turn good taste into bad manners. For one breathtaking moment Hollywood produced a succession of these unforgettable classics: His Girl Friday, Bringing Up Baby, My Man Godfrey, The Lady Eve, The Thin Man, and Twentieth Century. They featured wacky heiresses, boss ladies, and Cinderellas played by stars like Claudette Colbert, Rosalind Russell, and Jean Arthur. They hated and mated Gary Cooper, John Barrymore and William Powell: absent-minded professors, mad impressarios, and tuxedo-clad detectives." This list is a selected filmography of Screwball comedies, and a few earlier influences (ie: Design For Living) that exemplified the genre and are discussed thoroughly in Ed Sikov's book "Screwball: Hollwood's Madcap Romantic Comedies." -
Criterion Collection Themes - Heist Movies
Favs/dislikes: 5:0. At Criterion, it’s clear that heist movies have stolen our hearts. What is it that makes them so compelling? The clockwork precision, the array of characters needed, the potential consequences hanging in the air, our inevitable identification with the thieves (and our frustration when they don’t get away with it)—not to mention all that shiny loot. Here are some great movies to check out in a pinch, from French (Rififi) to American (The Friends of Eddie Coyle) to Japanese (Cruel Gun Story); they’re sure to inspire your inner criminal mastermind. -
Golden Globe Best Animated Feature
Favs/dislikes: 4:0. The Golden Globe Award for Best Animated Feature Film was awarded for the first time at the 64th Golden Globe Awards in 2007.[1] It was the first time that the Golden Globe Awards had created a separate category for animated films since its establishment. The nominations are announced in January and an awards ceremony is held later in the month. Initially, only three films are nominated for best animated film, in contrast to five nominations for the majority of other awards. The Disney Pixar film Cars was the first recipient of the award. The award for best animated film has subsequently been presented to five other Pixar films: Ratatouille received the award in 2008, WALL-E was the recipient in 2009, Up received the award in 2010, Toy Story 3 won in 2011, and Brave won in 2013. In 2012, Cars 2 lost to The Adventures of Tintin. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association has been awarding Golden Globe Awards since 1944. English-language films may be nominated in only one feature category. Therefore films nominated in this category are ineligible to be nominated for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy, Best Motion Picture – Drama if their principal dialogue is in English. However, films nominated for Best Foreign Language Film are eligible for Best Animated Feature; the only Golden Globe film awards for which they are ineligible are the two Best Motion Picture awards.[2] This has led to much confusion leading many to believe animated films are snubbed in the Best Motion Picture categories, specifically Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy where animated films have won before, but in reality they simply are not eligible to be nominated. -

Golden Globe Best Director
Favs/dislikes: 6:0. This page lists the winners of and nominees for the Golden Globe Award for Best Director.[1] Since its inception in 1943, it has been presented annually by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, an organization composed of journalists who cover the United States film industry for publications based outside North America. Having won all four of his nominations, Elia Kazan has been honored most often in this category. Martin Scorsese, Clint Eastwood, David Lean, Miloš Forman, and Oliver Stone tie for second place with three wins each. Steven Spielberg has had the most nominations (eleven) and has received the award twice. Barbra Streisand is the only woman to have won the award. -

AMC Filmsite List of Epic Films
Favs/dislikes: 10:0. Epics-Historical Films often take an historical or imagined event, mythic, legendary, or heroic figure, and add an extravagant setting and lavish costumes, accompanied by grandeur and spectacle and a sweeping musical score. Epics, costume dramas, historical dramas, war film epics, medieval romps, or 'period pictures' are tales that often cover a large expanse of time set against a vast, panoramic backdrop. In an episodic manner, they follow the continuing adventures of the hero(s), who are presented in the context of great historical events of the past.
