<p>"effed up movies is a place where you can watch effed up cinema from around the world. this is a growing site in terms of content and while we are slow with our posts, we have hundreds of movies we hope to post here eventually.</p><p>all movies here are shared in their uncut form. sometimes, the director's cut is chosen, but this is usually because it's the longer version"</p><p>(from the effedupmovies "about" page)</p><p><br />there are a bunch of lists of the eum catalog, but even the most comprehensive one i can find has not been edited in some while. since i check the site often and i'm regularly on letterboxd, i figured i'd try to keep up with it better.</p><p>anything i can't find on letterboxd, i will do my darndest to add to the database.</p><p>a few films that have previously been in the eum catalog are no longer available on the site. but because part of my purpose in maintaining this list is simply to create an index of extreme cinema, i will be keeping those films on this list. for any films for which this is the case, i'll indicate so in the notes.</p><p><b>ORDERED CHRONOLOGICALLY BY DATE UPLOADED TO THE SITE</b></p><p><br />xoxo</p><p>not currently on letterboxd:</p><p><i>Most Disturbed Person on Planet Earth </i>(2013, dir.

<p>List began in 2013, and is still updated frequently.<br />These are the greatest films* I have ever seen.</p><p>I will update this list as any films that are worthy pass my eyes, or if upon re-watching my judgment was foolish.<br />The films are also organized alphabetically (according to the name they had upon addition to the list) so as to bypass subjective associations and allow for easy searching.<br />Have any questions or comments? Leave them down below - I'd love to chat with you!</p><p>*The word film here is used incredibly loosely to accommodate shorts, installation works, digital art, miniseries and the like so long as it is a recorded work (that means instillation works which allow for pure chance to radically change the work can hardly be included) and as far as miniseries are predetermined with a set number of episodes which contribute to something resembling a cinematic work more generally than television.</p><p>UPDATE 5/4/2020 <br />As of today, this list has officially garnered 1000 followers! I'm deeply grateful to the support through the years, and although I would have been doing the same thing regardless, the community and engagement has given me new ways to reflect and new ways to go about my writing. <br />As a thank you, I have compiled a separate list of my favorite records of all time which, although less studious, hopefully provides you all with a continuation of our gift of community and the continued desire to always be learning about and engaging with others, and as a result, the world around you. <br />To find the list, please follow this link: <a href="https://rateyourmusic.com/list/Weston_Adam/snippets-of-god/" rel="nofollow">rateyourmusic.com/list/Weston_Adam/snippets-of-god/</a></p><p>UPDATE 6/19/2023 <br />After spending around 5 years (half of this list's life) I have successfully re-watched and rated every film on this list, removing films as they fell beneath a 3&1/2 rating, and can once again get back to watching new work whenever I get around to watching films. Thank you all so very much for your continued love and kindness. May God bless us all.</p>

<p>All the films listed in the popular <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1001_Movies_You_Must_See_Before_You_Die" rel="nofollow">1001 Movies...</a> book series. Contains more than 1001 titles because every new edition adds new titles and removes others. Also, some single entries in the book consist of multiple titles on Letterboxd. This list covers all the films in the English language editions published from 2003 to 2021, presently totalling 1245.</p><p>This is not my personal selection of films and I have no affiliation with the books or publisher. I have just put this list on Letterboxd because the lists here are a really convenient way of seeing how many you've watched or finding films to try out. I'd recommend seeking out one of the published books if you want to read up on the reasoning behind any particular film's inclusion or find out more about the list.</p><p>I've tried to be as accurate and complete as possible, but if you spot any errors or omissions, please, do let me know.<br />Currently in chronological order of release.</p><p>RIP Chip Lary <a href="https://letterboxd.com/tipsfromchip/" rel="nofollow">@tipsfromchip</a>.

1001 Movies To Watch Before You Die [ALL EDITIONS!]
Last Updated/Checked: Oct. 2024
I've got the 10th edition of the German translation of "1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die". It's a 960-paged book edited by Steven Jay Schneider, containing the combined knowledge of 77 internationally renowned movie ciritics, with short one to half-sided essays, movie credits, and trivia, throughout all genres and countries.
There are already a number of lists out, however, this book is reviewed every year, and as far as I can tell (I did go through a lot of these lists) non depicts the 2013 edition I possess, which ends with Life of Pi. I then thought of the ideal list being on that includes *all* movies, starting from the original list from 2003, with all the editions but non of the removals since then. Thanks to the internet, such list exists and therefore I will be adding these here, one by one. I did not "rank" them, because actually the book doesn't either - they are ordered by year and that is as meaningful as any other order I guess. Also, the "ranked lists" all have the problem that some movies are removed, which is why a number of people think about how to renumber this list probably... all things I deem unnecessary.
And yes, I intend to watch them all! If you watch one of them every week, it's just a 20 years task :D

Collection - Cahiers du cinéma - Annual Top 10 Lists
🍿🌍
==Updated Jun 2024==
# Description
**Cahiers du Cinéma**, (Notebooks on Cinema) is a French film magazine founded in 1951. Top 10 films chosen annually by the critics of Cahiers du Cinéma.
# Background
The history of the Cahiers is related to the Cinéma history, in particular because of a generation of enthusiasts who gave birth to the Nouvelle Vague. Jean-Luc Godard, François Truffaut, Éric Rohmer, Jacques Rivette, Claude Chabrol and many others wrote their first reviews before becoming filmmakers.

📽️Compétition officielle - Festival de Cannes - Official Competition (1946 – 2026)
<p>The Festival de Cannes (Cannes Festival) is an annual film festival held in Cannes, France, which previews new films from around the world. Founded in 1946, it is considered the most prestigious film festival in the world and is one of the most publicized, together with the Berlin International Film Festival and the Venice Film Festival. The invitation-only festival is held annually in May at the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès.</p><p>Ever since its creation, the Festival de Cannes has remained faithful to its founding purpose: to draw attention to and raise the profile of films with the aim of contributing towards the development of cinema, boosting the film industry worldwide and celebrating cinema at an international level.</p><p>The Official Selection serves to highlight the diversity of cinematic creation through its different sections, the two most important of which are the Competition and Un Certain Regard. Films that are representative of “auteur cinema with a wide audience appeal” are presented in Competition, and Un Certain Regard focuses on works that have an original aim and aesthetic. The Official Selection also includes Out of Competition films, Special Screenings and Midnight Screenings, Cannes Classics and the Cinéfondation selection targeting film schools.</p><p>The Palme d'Or (Golden Palm) is the highest prize awarded at the Cannes Film Festival. It was introduced in 1955 by the organizing committee. From 1939 to 1954, the highest prize was the Grand Prix du Festival International du Film. In 1964, it was replaced once again by the Grand Prix du Festival before being reintroduced in 1974. </p><p>Prior to the beginning of each event, the Festival appoints the jury who will hold sole responsibility for choosing which films in the official competition section will receive an award. Jurors are chosen from a wide range of international artists, based on their body of work and respect from their peers. The Jury for the feature films in competition is obliged to award the Palme d'Or, the Grand Prix, the award for the Best Director, the Jury Prize, the award for the Best Screenplay, the award for the Best Actress and the award for the Best Actor. </p><p>Rules have changed over the years, but nowadays, the prize list must not contain more than one joint award and the Palme d'Or can never be awarded jointly. Furthermore, no film can receive more than one award. However, the award for the Best Screenplay and the Jury Prize can be combined with a Best Performance award, on special dispensation of the Festival's President.</p><p>The following is a complete list of all films shown in Competition at the Cannes Festival since 1946. Notes indicate the year the film was shown and if it was awarded a prize.</p><p><em><strong>Other Cannes Festival Lists:</strong></em></p><p>* Compétition officielle (annual lists): <a

1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die
towards a canon of chinese cinema
<p>a work in progress</p>
Letterboxd 100: Chinese Cinema
<p>The 100 highest-rated Chinese language narrative feature films on Letterboxd.</p><p>Updated on September 16, 2026. Minimum 1,000 ratings.</p><p>Here are my other <a href="https://letterboxd.com/lifeasfiction/tag/country/lists/" rel="nofollow">country</a> and <a href="https://letterboxd.com/lifeasfiction/tag/language/lists/" rel="nofollow">language</a> lists.</p><p><a href="https://letterboxd.com/lifeasfiction/list/life-as-fiction-recommends-chinese-cinema/" rel="nofollow">Here's a list of Chinese language films I recommend.</a></p><p><a href="https://letterboxd.com/lifeasfiction/list/life-as-fiction-letterboxd-list-database/" rel="nofollow">Here's a centralized database of my other lists on Letterboxd.</a></p>
<p>The home for the project is here at <a href="https://www.thechinesecinema.com/" rel="nofollow">The Chinese Cinema</a>. <a href="https://www.thechinesecinema.com/about/" rel="nofollow">Here</a> is the Introduction. If you want to know why I picked that title, you can read about my reasoning <a href="https://www.thechinesecinema.com/why-the-chinese-cinema/" rel="nofollow">here</a>.</p><p>This began as a loosely ranked list of the Chinese-language movies I'd seen since November of 2013. Then I added the ones I watched during the Summer of Sammo (May 24 - Sep 8, 2013) and everything I could find that I watched before then. It should now be a reasonably comprehensive catalogue of all the Chinese-language movies I have ever seen. </p><p>Also included are English-language films by primarily Chinese directors (John Woo, Tsui Hark, Corey Yuen, for example).</p>
The New York Times Book of Movies: The Essential 1,000 Films to See
<p>This list comes from the New York Times Book of Movies: The Essential 1,000 Films To See (2019)</p><p>If you see any errors, please let me know. I already got Black Rain incorrect once.</p>
Modernity and digitalization equal loneliness and decay (?)
<p>This is continuous work in progress.</p><p>Initially the list's title referred to a major theme in the oeuvres of both Edward Yang and Olivier Assayas.</p><p>Later on I took my selection much broader.</p>
<p>movies that made me cry and/or want to die, in no particular order (other than the #1 spot)</p><p>will grow as I watch more movies and pretty much just a reference for myself to use when i feel like dying</p>
<p><a href="https://x.com/emmatolkin/status/1743423852439560515?s=46" rel="nofollow">Asked Twitter</a> for ambitious movies, regardless of critical success. Movies that shot for the moon, who cares where they landed! Ambitious doesn’t just mean big sci-fi extravaganzas (although those are MORE than welcome), I mean big ideas, big swings, big brain shit.</p><p>This is the realm of Tarsem Singh, the Wachowski sisters, Terry Gilliam, Peter Greenaway, Jim Henson, Richard Kelly… anyone who’s enough of a mad genius to GO for it.</p><p>As always, comment recs if you have them and I’ll add!</p>
<blockquote><p>The <b>film noir</b> genre generally refers to mystery and crime dramas produced from the early 1940s to the late 1950s. Movies of this genre were characteristically shot in black and white, and featured stories involving femmes fatales, doomed heroes or anti-heroes, and tough, cynical detectives.</p></blockquote><blockquote><p><b>Neo-noir</b> (English: New-black; from the Greek neo, new; and the French noir, black) is a style often seen in modern motion pictures and other forms that prominently use elements of film noir, but with updated themes, content, style, visual elements or media that were absent in film noir of the 1940s and 1950s.</p></blockquote><p>Descriptions taken from Wikipedia.</p><p>See also: <a href="https://letterboxd.com/fight_professor/list/corrupt-cops-on-the-decline/" rel="nofollow">Corrupt Cops on the Decline</a> | <a href="https://letterboxd.com/fight_professor/list/gambling/" rel="nofollow">Gambling</a></p>

<p>"In all film there is the desire to capture the motion of life, to refuse immobility," Agnes Varda has noted. But to capture the reality of human experience, cinema must fasten on stillness and inaction as much as motion. Slow Movies investigates movies by acclaimed international directors who in the past three decades have challenged mainstream cinema's reliance on motion and action. More than other realist art cinema, slow movies by Lisandro Alonso, Pedro Costa, Cristian Mungiu, Alexander Sokurov, Bela Tarr and others radically adhere to space-times in which emotion is repressed along with motion; editing and dialogue yield to stasis and contemplation; action surrenders to emptiness if not death.</p>
