New Line Productions, Inc., doing business asNew Line Cinema, is an American film and television production studio owned by Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD). Since 2008, it has been operating as a unit of Warner Bros. Pictures.
It was founded in 1967 by Robert Shaye as an independent film distribution company; later becoming a film studio after acquired by Turner Broadcasting System in 1994; Turner later merged with Time Warner Entertainment (later known as WarnerMedia from 2018 to 2022, and Warner Bros. Discovery since 2022) in 1996, and New Line was merged with Warner Bros. Pictures in 2008. The studio has been nicknamed "The House that FreddyBuilt" due to the success of the Nightmare on Elm Street film series. However, their most successful property was their film adaptation of The Lord of the Rings trilogy by J.R.R. Tolkien with considerable commercial success and numerous Academy Awards.
New Line Cinema was established in 1967 by the then 27-year-old Robert Shaye as a film distribution company, supplying foreign and art films for college campuses in the United States. Shaye operated New Line's offices out of his apartment at 14th Street and Second Avenue in New York City.
In 1976, New Line secured funding to produce its first full-length feature, Stunts (1977), directed by Mark L. Lester.
New Line expanded its film production in the early 1980s, producing or co-producing films including Polyester, directed by John Waters, and Alone in the Dark. A Nightmare on Elm Street was produced and released by New Line Cinema in 1984. The resulting franchise was New Line Cinema's first commercially successful series, leading the company to be nicknamed "The House that Freddy Built".
In November 1990, New Line Cinema purchased a 52% stake in the television production company RHI Entertainment (now Halcyon Studios), which would later be sold to Hallmark Cards in 1994. In early 1991, Fine Line Features was set up as a wholly owned subsidiary headed by Ira Deutchmanand released films including Jane Campion's An Angel at My Table and Gus van Sant's My Own Private Idaho.
In May 1991, New Line Cinema purchased the home video and foreign rights to 600 films held by Sultan Entertainment Holdings (a.k.a. Nelson Entertainment). The deal also included an 11-film distribution deal with Castle Rock Entertainment. On November 27, 1991, New Line Cinema purchased Sultan outright.
On January 28, 1994, New Line Cinema was acquired by the Turner Broadcasting System for $500 million, which later merged with Time Warner Entertainment in 1996. New Line Cinema was kept as its own separate entity, while fellow Turner-owned studios Hanna-Barbera Productionsand Castle Rock Entertainment eventually became units of Warner Bros.
On February 28, 2008, Time Warner's CEO at the time, Jeffrey Bewkes, announced that New Line Cinema would be shut down as a separately operated studio. The last film released by New Line Cinema as a free-standing company was the Will Ferrell film Semi-Pro. After that New line Cinema has been operating as a unit of Warner Bros. Pictures.
On May 8, 2008, it was announced that Picturehouse would shut down in the fall. Berney later bought the Picturehouse trademarks from Warner Bros. and relaunched the company in 2013.

Y2K / Gen X Soft Club Vibes
<p>Movies that exemplify and EXUDE the early-Y2K / Gen X look and feel - i.e., including any one or multiple instances of the following: sleek white + cool blue color tones, LOMO bleach bypass 35mm cinematography with natural / muted high-contrast "soft"-looking images, optical halation or egregious lens flares, sub-720p low-resolution early digital "standard-definition" video, rudimentary computer generated imagery (CGI) effects, and especially pre-smartphone tele-communication tech + gadgets that are typically translucent / aluminum-silver / matte white (including first gen iPods but absolutely NO iPhones / smartphones!). </p><p>The distinct era of 35mm motion picture history which preceded the DCP cinema projection schism / onslaught brought about by the wide digital-only release of James Cameron's CGI-heavy spectacle film Avatar (2009). </p><p>Movies typified by of-the-period cinematography, stylized sets, props, designs and techno-gadget proto-internet devices that just scream Y2K and/or Gen X Optimism / Futurism / Urban Minimalism.</p>

Movies featuring time-travel, time loops or related themes.
What is included in this list:
* Mechanical travel, past or future
* Time loops, repeat-the-day mechanic
* Cryogenic / suspended-animation one-way trips
* Consciousness/soul transfer through time
* Time anomaly without named mechanism
* Non-linear consciousness / experiencing time wrong

There are a few edge cases I decided to include even though not formally fulfilling inclusion parameters they as view like a time-travel or time-looper.

<p>For my dissertation. I'm going for a more metaphysical rather than sci-fi genre approach to time travel, hence the inclusion of films like Lost Highway and It's a Wonderful Life.</p>
