Lionsgate Films (formerly known as Cinépix Film Properties) is a Canadian-American film production and film distribution studio founded in Canada, now a division of Lionsgate Entertainment headquartered in Santa Monica. It is the largest and most successful mini-major film studio in North America.
Lions Gate Entertainment Corporation (LGEC) was formed in 1997 by Frank Giustra, a banker.[10] LGEC purchased Cinépix and kept its leadership. Cinépix was renamed Lions Gate Films on January 13, 1998. LGEC also purchased the Vancouver-based North Shore Studios, which became Lions Gate Studios. In June 1998, LGE purchased International Movie Group, whose film library included Jean-Claude Van Damme's Kickboxer.
Its first major box office success was American Psycho in 2000, which began a trend of producing and distributing films too controversial for the major film studios. Other notable films included Affliction (1998), Gods and Monsters (1998), Dogma (1999), O (2001), Cube 2: Hypercube (2002), Open Water (2003), Saw (2004), The Punisher (2004) and the Michael Moore documentary Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004), which had been the studio's highest-grossing film until the release of The Hunger Games in 2012.

Click the 'Read notes' button to see his comments. Also be sure to check out his Twitter and Bluesky for recommendations of visual artists, books, tv shows, film composers, etc.</p><p>I've seen 58%, how about you?</p><p>GDT quotes:</p><p>"Lost films only stay lost if no one looks for them. Be curious. Be peculiar. What you watch is what you are."</p><p>"Your taste in film is a quest. You have a palate and you must refine it to match your essence. Never settle and never follow blindly."</p><p>"Film is a religious call. No one is right or wrong- During the very same mass some look at the clock while others find their Damascus road"</p><p>"Wittgenstein said:'The limits of your language are the limits of your world'. The same is true of your visual language. Be curious. Want more"</p><p>"Favorite movies don't have to be perfect movies. Like in any relationship, Love is what makes them stick around."</p><p>"Great films- like diamonds- sometimes require mining. Some are hard work but their yield is precious. These films seldom get us at first viewing. But when repeated they become permanent loves."</p><p>"If we don't defend what we love- if we let it fade- then our lives loose meaning. We must declare ourselves of what we are... What we love."</p>
