Embassy Pictures Corporation (also and later known as Avco Embassy Pictures as well as Embassy Films Associates) was an American independent film production and distribution company, which was active from 1942 to 1986. Embassy was responsible for films such as The Graduate, The Producers, The Fog, The Howling, Escape from New York, and This Is Spinal Tap, Swamp Thing, and television series such as The Jeffersons, One Day at a Time and The Facts of Life.
Embassy was founded in 1942 by Joseph E. Levine as a foreign film distributor, before branching out into film production in 1945.
In 1967, Embassy was acquired by Avco. The company struggled in the 1970s before focusing on lower-budget genre films at the end of the decade. In 1982, television producer Norman Lear and his partner Jerry Perenchio bought the studio, and it became involved in television production. In 1985, Embassy was sold to The Coca-Cola Company, which sold the studio to Dino De Laurentiis in October of that same year.
Today, StudioCanal owns ancillary rights to the majority of Embassy's theatrical library, while Sony Pictures Television owns worldwide television syndication rights to the studio's films and TV shows.

<p>Matt Novak wrote an article <a href="https://gizmodo.com/every-single-movie-that-jimmy-carter-watched-at-the-whi-1728538092" rel="nofollow">here</a> outlining every movie Jimmy Carter watched while President of the USA. This is that list in the order he watched it. I see this as further evidence that Carter is the coolest American President alive and he would have likely had an anonymous burner on LB if it was around in the '70s. </p><p>Some tidbits:</p><p>Films Jimmy Carter watched more than once: Citizen Kane, Maltese Falcon, Manhattan, Annie Hall, Kramer vs Kramer, Lost Horizon, Rocky, Paper Moon, The In-Laws, Lost Horizon, 10 and Star Wars (4 times).</p><p>Directors who show up repeatedly: Billy Wilder, William Wyler, Delbert Mann, Michael Curtiz, Howard Hawks, John Ford, John Huston, Mel Brooks, Carl Reiner, Hal Ashby, Elia Kazan, Alfred Hitchcock, Herbert Ross, Peter Bogdanovich and Robert Altman.</p><p>Other directors that make you say, <i>Fuck yeah, Jimmy</i>: Kurosawa, Bergman, Truffaut, Fassbinder, Scorsese, Coppola, Friedkin, De Palma, Cassavetes, Peckinpah, Lean, Leone, Lumet, Malick, Siegel, Demme, Nichols, Rafelson, Ray, Fuller, Gillian Armstrong, and Kubrick.</p><p>Cracks me up that Midnight Cowboy is on the books as a President of the USA permanently on the record watching an X-rated movie. </p><p>Jonathan Demme's Citizens Band was watched as a new release, which is worth noting because it bombed so horribly it temporarily ended Demme's career until Peter Falk hired him to direct an episode of Columbo to get him back working again. Peter Falk was the only known fan of Citizens Band, at the time, but perhaps Jimmy Carter was, too?</p><p>Jimmy Carter had an absolutely galaxy brained double feature of Casablanca/Young Frankenstein on March 25, 1977.</p><p>He watched Star Wars at Camp David with Anwar Sadat, the President of Egypt, on February 4, 1978.</p><p> On November 19, 1980, at 7:31 pm, Jimmy Carter watched a film only labeled "". 9:23 pm he returned back upstairs. What was this mysterious film that went unlabeled? There is a Pulitzer Prize waiting for you, the reader of this dumb list, if you find that out. Godspeed.</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>Just a list of some pretty cool movie posters on the LB database. I haven't seen most of these movies. Arranged (messily) by aesthetic.</p><p>For an interesting aesthetic view as opposed to regular rainbow sorting, I recommend sorting the list by "When Added"</p>
