A favourite film a day for 365 days. Z Channel: A Magnificent Obsession.
This documentary about US cable TV station Z Channel is a movie-lover's delight. And a portrait of the troubled driving force behind its success. Shame it's not better known.

A favourite film a day for 365 days: Valdez is Coming.
Burt Lancaster wouldn't get the chance to play a Mexican today, but this was the 70s, and he's absolutely convincing as the former soldier, now downtrodden constable, who takes on a corrupt rancher.

A favourite film a day for 365 days: Mr Nice Guy.
The actual 'plot' gets a little too harsh at times, but not enough to overflow the stunts and acrobatics. The chase in the building site is fabulously inventive.

A favourite film a day for 365 days: Year of the Dragon.
More moral conflict. The hero isn't particularly nice, while the villain is well-spoken, charming and utterly ruthless. Scorching, savage tale of the New York drug war in the 80s, with dialogue scenes as intense the gunfights.

A favourite film a day for 365 days LA Confidential.
I love this for the way it takes its time setting all the characters up, and only then introduces the murders that send the plot off in a totally new direction and sets all the moral compasses spinning. Fabulous piece of storytelling.

A favourite film a day for 365 days: Stardust Memories.
Never met anyone else who likes this story about a famous comic who wants to be 'taken seriously', yet has to deal with obtuse or invasive fans, a girlfriend suffering a mental breakdown, and Martians who tell him they like his films, 'particularly the early, funny ones,' before adding: 'You want to do mankind a real service? Tell funnier jokes.'

A favourite film a day for 365 days: Radio Days.
Woody Allen's loving, and touching, evocation of the golden days of radio broadcasting. Gorgeous to look at, every performance a gem, and packed with funny stories.

A favourite film a day for 365 days: Playtime.
Modern mankind lost in a world of cubicles and right-angles. A film you can watch over and over - especially the 40-minute scene in which a restaurant devolves into chaos - because there's so much going on you simply can't take it all in in one viewing. Oh, and it's funny, too.

A favourite film a day for 365 days: Theatre of Blood.
Spurned Shakespearean actor revenges himself on the critics who attacked his performances - by copying the deaths in the very Shakespeare plays they criticised. Gruesomely funny horror comedy probably describes it best. (And it's an added pleasure to hear Vincent Price speak the verse so beautifully.)

A favourite film a day for 365 days: Summer Rental.
John Candy's burnt-out air traffic controller takes a holiday in Florida, only to discover he's rented a tumbledown shack beside a public footpath. Awful 80s soundtrack and dumb jokes about fake boobs don't detract from a surprisingly touching comedy.

Comedies. John Candy was one of those actors who could make me laugh just by being on the screen, even when the films he appeared in were NOT good. This *was* good, and still makes me laugh.

A favourite film a day for 365 days: Invasion of the Bodysnatchers.
4 from Don Siegel. The original, and for me the best of the bodysnatchers movies. Creepy and unsettling, with an ending that still packs a punch. (And I don't mean the 'happy ending' tacked on by producers; I'm talking about 'You're next!')

A favourite film a day for 365 days: The Grand Budapest Hotel.
I'm not a 100% Wes Anderson fan; sometimes I think he's too clever by half. But there are three films I love and this is my favourite: the intricate dialogue, the beautiful settings, the quirky plot and the equally quirky characters. And then there's Ralph Fiennes: his diction, the way he walks, his timing... one of my all-time favourite performances.

A favourite film a day for 365 days: Spotlight.
How the Boston Globe uncovered child abuse in the local Catholic archdiocese in 2002. Doesn't have the creeping paranoia of All the President's Men, but it's just as rigorous and engrossing.

A favourite film a day for 365 days: Park Row.
Newspaper stories. Sam Fuller's fiery ode to an independent press and free speech is - using 2023 words to describe a story set in 1886 - a tiny start-up taking on a media empire. The poster does the movie NO justice at all.

A favourite film a day for 365 days: The Paper.
Newspaper stories. Michael Keaton's editor realises the wrong people have been arrested for a murder and won't let the story go. Great characters, terrific dialogue, so many memorable scenes. Must have watched it at least 10 times.

The Big Country, de #WilliamWyler (1958), n'est pas un #western comme les autres.
Magnifiquement tourné en #cinemascope il plaide en faveur d'une masculinité pacifique, égalitaire, tout le contraire de l'idéal du cowboy de l'époque, macho, violent, et fou de la gachette.
On ne voit pas passer les 2h46 de ce drame (qui finit plutôt bien).

A favourite film a day for 365 days: That Thing You Do.
Not a huge fan of musicals, but I have a few favourites in which music plays the key role. This little wonder from Tom Hanks (writer and director) is upbeat and infectious and manages to be dramatic without being gloomy. The title track's great too!

A favourite film a day for 365 days: Something Wild.
The best of all the 80s Yuppie-Gets-Comeuppance films. Starts as a wild and unpredictable comedy, then turns into a wild and unpredictable thriller. Ray Liotta was never so scary.

A favourite film a day for 365 days: Runaway Train.
After 3 years (!) in solitary, Jon Voight's convict escapes from prison, into a desolate Alaskan wilderness and climbs aboard a freight train, only to discover that its brakes aren't working and it can't be stopped. Moody, grim, exciting *and* moving. Most definitely one of a kind.

A favourite film a day for 365 days: Elizabethtown.
Critics and viewers ripped this apart like jackals attacking a dead wildebeest. Yes, the timeline's ridiculous: things just don't happen that fast. But I don't care. It's quirky, funny, totally unpredictable and as charming as kittens in a slipper. (It also has a fabulous soundtrack!)

A favourite film a day for 365 days: Otley.
Otley, a professional loafer, gets kicked out of his flat for not paying the rent, stays on a friend's couch for the night and wakes up two days later beside a runway at Heathrow Airport runway. Odd and quirky little 60s comedy thriller packed with odd and quirky cameos; among them, Leonard Rossiter's very businesslike hitman.
#comedymovies #comedy #comedyfilm #funny #cinephile #funnymovies
A favourite film a day for 365 days: Roxanne.
I've always found this delightful and charming. Steve Martin's '20 best put-downs' scene; the Banana Brothers fire crew; Fred Willard's GQ mayor: "I would rather be here with you than with the finest people in the world!' And the opening duel, but with tennis rackets instead of swords.

A favourite film a day for 365 days: A Midwinter's Tale.
Unemployed actor decides to stage Hamlet, with a cast and crew of oddballs and eccentrics, in a tiny village church over Christmas. Kenneth Branagh paid for this with his own money, which may explain why it's such lovely, unpredictable fun: no studio execs to interfere, or demand that he explain who Hamlet Shakespeare is.
(In the UK, it was known as In the Bleak Midwinter.)
Synopsis: An intimate self-portrait of iconic Black model, booking agent and fashion industry changemaker Bethann Hardison’s challenge to the colourist status quo.
Directors: Bethann Hardison, Frédéric Tcheng

A favourite film a day for 365 days: Matinee.
Charming and funny ode to the days of B&W Hollywood monster movies, with John Goodman on top form as the producer publicising his new film. (Reading a letter from lawyers demanding that he settle a debt, he sighs: "Boy, I can remember when they used to settle these things with violence.")

My two favourite Stephen King adaptations. It's got Christopher Walken for a start. But also a script of such elegant, concise precision that you're just swept along by the story. Having David Cronenberg as the director doesn't hurt, either.

"The architect of 1963’s momentous March on Washington, Bayard Rustin was one of the greatest activists and organizers the world has ever known. He challenged authority, never apologized for who he was, what he believed, or who he desired. And he did not back down. He made history, and in turn, he was forgotten."

A favourite film a day for 365 days: Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.
3 spy movies. I have friends who are dedicated le Carre fans and they can't stand this. Perhaps because it isn't as long-winded and labyrinthine as the book or THAT television version. I love it for its economy - the credit sequence introduces every character - and for making that labyrinthine plot something I can finally understand.

5 by Richard Lester. Brittle, cold and fragmented, because the people it's about are brittle, cold and fragmented. But absolutely hypnotic all the same. And even though it was made in the 60s, it's very much a 70s movie.

One of my all-time favourites. Wendy Hiller heads for a Scottish island to marry a boring millionaire, only for all her plans to be thwarted by mystical landscapes, ancient curses, a whirlpool and naval officer Roger Livesey. Absolutely enchanting.
It's a British film, but the Danish poster is by far the best on offer.

Hola! This is an #introduction for my #fandom account. One of those old millennials who wears their hair in a side part, and despite literally being from the region and in the culture, and raised on TVB serials, is aggressively uninterested in mainland dramas. (NiF was fine) currently getting back into Indian cinema, specifically the South, so any #Tollywood and #Kollywood recommendations are welcome!
Other than that, I'm a #cinephile with little time and money and if anyone can point me to a copy of Jiang Wen's last most recent movie I would be deeply grateful. These days more of a casual MCU fan, and I can't keep up with #StarWars lore so... Let's say just the movies and that Kenobi series. Used to write for those. Used to write for Stargate too.

Here's one *nobody* ever saw, because Hammer Films didn't know what to do with it. They thought they were getting a quickie horror film about mutant kids and biker gangs. Instead they ended up with this haunting, downbeat look at abuse of power and lost innocence. A real shame it's not better known.

Of the regular cinema releases in germany this year I have viewed 31 pictures – besides plenty of memorable retrospective screenings, home theater events and a lot of streaming stuff. And indeed, I also missed a lot.
So please take the following top ten not too serious, but I love lists too much. :mastoinnocent:
1. Vortex
2. Come on, Come on
3. The Worst Person in the World
4. Bones and All
5. What do we see when we look at the Sky?
6. Memoria
7. Ballad of a white Cow
8. Eo
9. The Tragedy of Macbeth
10. Everything Everywhere All at Once
And there would be much more worth to mention (The Power of the Dog, Drive my Car, Licorice Pizza, The French Dispatch, Belfast, The Card Counter, Nope, Triangle of Sadness …).
I also loved these two documentaries:
• The Alpinist
• Moonage Kingdom
Disappointments:
• Death of a Ladies’ Man
• Crimes of the Future
• Dark Glasses
What are your favourites?
As a Filipino #cinephile, Christmas is dreadful time because of the Metro Manila Film Festival. This "film festival" is as far removed from the likes of Cannes, Toronto, and Sundance as you can imagine. This is because no other films can be shown in local cinemas (save for IMAXes). Thus local studios usually use this theater monopoly to put out crap.
Local critic Phil Dy sums up the situation best in a viral Twitter thread from 2018: https://twitter.com/philbertdy/status/1076651981190524928

Cinephiles of Mastodon, one of you recommended me the book House of Psychotic Women and in case you come across this post I have to thank you. I’ve ordered it yesterday and I can’t wait for it to arrive.
I would like some more movie related books recommendations to maybe add to my collection one day.
