So which racial background for Frank the Cabby’s wife will cause a bigger stir?

My money says she’s from India if not the Middle East.

Of course if she’s black then it would follow the idea that the crucible of civilization leads us to being of African descent.

Half of them deserved Oscars.

[Films to Films @filmstofilms_]

The 2020s Academy Award winners for Best Animated Feature so far.

Which of these deserved the Oscar the most — and which one shouldn’t have won?

[The Academy’s Captive Audience @TheACAPodcast]

@Andrewnsnyder Though the ceiling takes up the top third of the frame, the awe of the moment is not lost in the photo.

@TheCinesthetic Baby Driver. Many options here…

[Nostalgic 90s @90stalgic]

Nobody understands the bond between a millennial and the mediocre movie their family just happened to own on VHS when they were 12 years old.

@RevivedThoughts Eternals. Paid for the tickets, walked out a half hour in. No refunds at that point. Don’t believe I have seen a Marvel movie since.

What painting would you describe as beautiful?

[Ignacio Aguilar AEC @iaguilardop]

1/5

Why do some classic films look so different on 4K Blu-ray?

Because a restoration is not just “scanning the negative.”

It is a new translation of a photochemical history: camera negative, lab work, prints, timing, color decisions, damage, grain and decades of previous video transfers.

Ten years ago, I discovered a 700-strong list on @MUBI entitled ‘Edgar Wright’s Favorite Movies’, which came as something of a surprise, as I hadn’t written it. Though the American spelling of ‘favourite’ was a clue.
The list had been created by Sam DiSalle, so I reached out to ask how he had compiled it. He explained that it included every film I had ever said I liked in interviews, articles and polls. I asked if I could edit it and, over the next few months, after much addition and subtraction, gave him enough further suggestions to bring the grand total up to a round 1,000 films.
Every now and then I update it and thought I would do so ten years on. It is a very personal and entirely subjective selection of favourites from more than 100 years of cinema. Some people get extremely riled up about films they perceive to be ‘missing’, so please be warned: any comments along the lines of “What, no…?” will be deleted. It’s only one person’s list, and the great news is you can absolutely make your own. In fact, I encourage you to!
I enjoy keeping the list fluid for my own pleasure, amusement and reference. I’m sharing a recently updated version in the hope that you’ll have fun poring over it and diving into some films you haven’t seen, or perhaps haven’t even heard of. I should also apologise to my friends at @1000filmsblog for adding and removing titles. I really don’t mean to increase your workload! Anything that has ever appeared on the list remains valid; I simply like to cycle films in and out according to rewatches and new discoveries.
And, of course, enormous thanks to Sam DiSalle for helping me put it all together and maintain it over the years. Links to his MUBI and @letterboxd versions of the list are below. Film-watching is a lifetime pursuit, and there are still so many others out there for me to see. I hope these two lists are a great place to for you to start. Please give my regards to your eyeballs!
