1 The Brave Little Toaster
2 The Brave Little Toaster is a 1980 novel by Thomas M. Disch intended for children or as put by Disch, "A Bedtime Story for Small Appliances".
3 The story centers on a gang of five household appliances—the Tensor Lamp (a Tensor lamp), the Electric Blanket (an electric blanket), the Alarm Clock/Radio (an alarm clock/antique radio), the Hoover Vacuum Cleaner (a Hoover vacuum cleaner) and the Sunbeam Toaster (a Sunbeam toaster)—on their quest to find their owner, referred to as the Master.
4 The story first appeared in "The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction" (August 1980).
5 Although appearing in a general circulation magazine, the story was written in the style of a children's fable.
6 It was one of the most popular science fiction and fantasy stories of the early 1980s, and was nominated for both a Hugo Award and a Nebula Award for Best Novella.
7 It also won a Locus Award, Seiun Award and British SF Association Award.
8 It was later published as a book.
9 "The Brave Little Toaster" was well received by critics.
10 Anna Quindlen, writing for "The New York Times", called it "a wonderful book for a certain sort of eccentric adult.
11 You know who you are.
12 Buy it for your children; read it yourself," and also suggested that the book lacked a clearly defined audience.
13 Disch said that he was unable to publish the story as a children's book at first, because publishers thought the concept of talking appliances was too “far-fetched”, even after Disch had sold it to Disney as a film; Doubleday finally published it as part of a five-book contract.
14 In 1987, the novel was adapted by Disch as a Disney animated film.
15 The film contains many differences from the book but is essentially the same story, although the ending differs.
16 In the novel, the appliances trade themselves away to an old ballerina who needs them, while in the movie they are reunited with their former master (named Rob in the movie).
17 Disch later wrote a sequel, "The Brave Little Toaster Goes to Mars", in which the Brave Little Toaster and his companions travel to Mars to stop an invasion from hostile appliances who have a colony there.
18 This too was made into a film.
19 There was also a third film in the series, "The Brave Little Toaster to the Rescue", which takes place between the two books, but which was not based directly on a book.

2 Saturday Night Fever is a 1977 American dance film directed by John Badham and starring John Travolta as Tony Manero, a young man whose weekends are spent visiting a local Brooklyn discotheque; Karen Lynn Gorney as Stephanie Mangano, his dance partner and eventual friend; and Donna Pescow as Annette, Tony's former dance partner and would-be girlfriend.
3 While in the disco, Tony is the king.
4 His care-free youth and weekend dancing help him to temporarily forget the reality of his life: a dead-end job, clashes with his unsupportive and squabbling parents, racial tensions in the local community, and his associations with a gang of macho friends.
5 A huge commercial success, the film significantly helped to popularize disco music around the world and made Travolta, already well known from his role on TV's "Welcome Back, Kotter", a household name.
6 The "Saturday Night Fever" soundtrack, featuring disco songs by the Bee Gees, is one of the best-selling soundtracks of all time.
7 The film is the first example of cross-media marketing, with the tie-in soundtrack's single being used to help promote the film before its release and the film popularizing the entire soundtrack after its release.
8 The film also showcased aspects of the music, the dancing, and the subculture surrounding the disco era: symphony-orchestrated melodies; haute couture styles of clothing; pre-AIDS sexual promiscuity; and graceful choreography.
9 The iconic and symbolic Saturday Night Fever image(right)is from the choreographically revamped "Stayin' Alive" which was re-certified for re-release as Saturday Night Fever 1978(cert.PG),showing a frame of Karen Lynn Gorney clapping rhythmically(following their dance duet)and John Travolta dancing spectacularly(during the 3rd chorus),while looking at the camera in a completely mesmerising manner, as directed by John Badham.The advanced choreography made John a global icon and accentuated his white suit.
10 The story is based upon a 1976 "New York" magazine article by British writer Nik Cohn, "Tribal Rites of the New Saturday Night".
11 In the late 1990s, Cohn acknowledged that the article had been fabricated.
12 A newcomer to the United States and a stranger to the disco lifestyle, Cohn was unable to make any sense of the subculture he had been assigned to write about; instead, the character who became Tony Manero was based on a Mod acquaintance of Cohn's.
13 In 2010, "Saturday Night Fever" was deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthecially significant" by the Library of Congress and slated to be preserved for all time in their National Film Registry.
14 The sequel "Staying Alive" (1983) also starred John Travolta and was directed by Sylvester Stallone.

1 Jack the Giant Killer
2 "Jack the Giant Killer" is a Cornish/British fairy tale and legends about a plucky lad who slays a number of giants during King Arthur's reign.
3 The tale is characterised by violence, gore and blood-letting.
4 Giants are prominent in Cornish folklore, Breton mythology and Welsh Bardic lore.
5 Some parallels to elements and incidents in Norse mythology have been detected in the tale, and the trappings of Jack's last adventure with the giant Galigantus suggest parallels with French and Breton fairy tales such as Bluebeard.
6 Jack's belt is similar to the belt in "The Valiant Little Tailor", and his magical sword, shoes, cap, and cloak are similar to those owned by Tom Thumb or those found in Welsh and Norse mythology.
7 Neither Jack nor his tale are referenced in English literature prior to the eighteenth century, and his story did not appear in print until 1711.
8 It is probable an enterprising publisher assembled a number of anecdotes about giants to form the 1711 tale.
9 One scholar speculates the public had grown weary of King Arthur – the greatest of all giant killers – and Jack was created to fill his shoes.
10 Henry Fielding, John Newbery, Dr. Johnson, Boswell, and William Cowper were familiar with the tale.
11 In 1962, a feature-length film based on the tale was released starring Kerwin Mathews.

1 The Dawn Patrol (1938 film)
2 The Dawn Patrol is a 1938 American war film, a remake of the pre-Code 1930 film of the same name.
3 Both were based on the short story "The Flight Commander" by John Monk Saunders, an American writer said to have been haunted by his inability to get into combat as a flyer with the U.S. Air Service.
4 The book of short stories, "War Patrol" by A.S. Long published in the 1930s also bears a striking resemblance in plot and characters to the Flynn/Niven version of the film, although it is never credited as a source.
5 The film, directed by Edmund Goulding, stars Errol Flynn, Basil Rathbone and David Niven as Royal Flying Corps fighter pilots in World War I. Of the several films that Flynn and Rathbone appeared in together, it is the only one in which their characters are on the same side.
6 Although sparring as in their other roles, their characters are fast friends and comrades in danger.
7 "The Dawn Patrol"'s story romanticizes many aspects of the World War I aviation experience that have since become clichés: white scarves, hard-drinking fatalism by doomed pilots, chivalry in the air between combatants, the short life expectancy of new pilots, and the legend of the "Red Baron."
8 However, "The Dawn Patrol" also has a deeper and more timeless theme in the severe emotional scarring on a military commander who must constantly order men to their deaths.
9 This theme underlies every scene in "The Dawn Patrol".

5 The story follows the travels of Spanish soldier Lope de Aguirre, who leads a group of conquistadores down the Orinoco and Amazon River in South America in search of the legendary city of gold, El Dorado.
6 Using a minimalist story and dialogue, the film creates a vision of madness and folly, counterpointed by the lush but unforgiving Amazonian jungle.
7 Although based loosely on what is known of the historical figure of Aguirre, the film's story line is, as Herzog acknowledged years after the film's release, a work of imagination.
8 Some of the people and situations may have been inspired by Gaspar de Carvajal's account of an earlier Amazonian expedition, although Carvajal was not on the historical voyage represented in the film.
9 Other accounts state that the expedition went into the jungles but never returned to civilization.
10 "Aguirre" was the first of five collaborations between Herzog and the volatile Kinski.
11 The director and the actor had differing views as to how the role should be played, and they clashed throughout the film's production, while Kinski's tantrums terrorized both the crew and the local natives who assisted the production.
12 The production was shot entirely on location, and was fraught with difficulties.
13 Filming took place in the Peruvian rainforest on the Amazon River during an arduous five-week period, shooting on tributaries of the Ucayali region.
14 The cast and crew climbed mountains, cut through heavy vines to open routes to the various jungle locations, and rode treacherous river rapids on rafts built by natives.
15 "Aguirre" opened to widespread critical acclaim, and quickly developed a large international cult film following.
16 It was given an extensive arthouse theatrical release in the United States in 1977, and remains one of the director's best known films.
17 Several critics have declared the film a masterpiece, and it has appeared on "Time" magazine's list of "All Time 100 Best Films".
18 "Aguirre"’s visual style and narrative elements had a strong influence on Francis Ford Coppola's 1979 film "Apocalypse Now".

1 Paris Belongs to Us
2 Paris Belongs to Us (, sometimes translated as Paris Is Ours) is a 1960 French mystery film directed by Jacques Rivette and starring Betty Schneider.
3 Begun in 1957 and completed three years later, it was then-critic Rivette's first full-length film as a director and one of the first works of the French New Wave, though it was not released theatrically until 1961.
4 The plot centres around a group of actors rehearsing Shakespeare's Pericles for a performance that never happens.
5 The film operates as a depiction of bohemian Parisian life in the late 1950s, framed in a frightening world-view coloured by anxiety and fatigue, paranoia and disillusionment.
6 Like fellow "Cahiers du cinéma" critic Eric Rohmer, Rivette did not find popularity with his early films and, unlike many of his New Wave compatriots, he remained at "Cahiers" for most of the core New Wave era (1958–1968) and completed only two other features during the period.
7 The film features cameos by fellow New Wave directors Claude Chabrol (who co-produced the film), Jean-Luc Godard, Jacques Demy and Rivette himself.
8 Writing in the film journal "Senses of Cinema", critic Hamish Ford said of the film: "...for me at least, his debut feature is a perfect film in its way.
9 If the first work of a long career should, at least in the oeuvre-charting rear-vision mirror, offer an appropriately characteristic or even perhaps idiosyncratic entry point into a distinct film-world, then "Paris nous appartient" is indeed a perfect 'first' Rivette in its combination of formal daring and conceptual elusiveness."

7 In time Hellboy grew to be a large, red-skinned man with a tail, horns (which he files off, leaving behind the signature circular stumps on his forehead), cloven hooves for feet, and an oversized right hand made of stone.
8 He has been described as smelling of dry-roasted peanuts.
9 Although a bit gruff, he shows none of the malevolence thought to be intrinsic to demons, and has a strong sense of humor.

12 In earlier stories, he is identified as the "World's Greatest Paranormal Investigator."

13 The book is consistently ranked among the greatest works of American literature.

5 Another version was published in 1634 by Giambattista Basile with the title "Cagliuso".
6 The tale appeared in a handwritten and illustrated manuscript two years before its 1697 publication by Barbin in a collection of eight fairy tales by Perrault called "Histoires ou contes du temps passé".
7 The book was an instant success and remains popular.
8 Perrault's "Histoires" has had considerable impact on world culture.
9 The original French title was "Histoires ou contes du temps passé, avec des moralités" with the subtitle "Les Contes de ma mère l'Oye" ("Stories or Fairy Tales from Past Times with Morals", subtitled "Mother Goose Tales").

1 Mon Oncle
2 Mon Oncle ("My Uncle") is a 1958 film comedy by French filmmaker Jacques Tati.
3 The first of Tati's films to be released in colour, "Mon Oncle" won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, a Special Prize at the 1958 Cannes Film Festival, and the New York Film Critics Circle Award for Best Foreign Language Film, receiving more honors than any of Tati's other cinematic works.
4 The film centers on the socially awkward yet lovable character of Monsieur Hulot and his quixotic struggle with postwar France's infatuation with modern architecture, mechanical efficiency and consumerism.
5 As with most Tati films, "Mon Oncle" is largely a visual comedy; color and lighting are employed to help tell the story.
6 The dialogue in "Mon Oncle" is barely audible, and largely subordinated to the role of a sound effect.
7 The drifting noises of heated arguments and idle banter complement other sounds and the physical movements of the characters, intensifying comedic effect.
8 The complex soundtrack also uses music to characterize environments, including a lively musical theme that represents Hulot's world of comical inefficiency and freedom.
9 At its debut in 1958 in France, "Mon Oncle" was denounced by some critics for what they viewed as a reactionary or even "poujadiste" view of an emerging French consumer society, which had lately embraced a new wave of industrial modernization and a more rigid social structure.
10 However, this criticism soon gave way in the face of the film's huge popularity in France and abroad – even in the U.S., where rampant discretionary consumption and a recession had caused those on both the right and the left to question the economic and social values of the era.
11 The film was another big success for Tati as with a total of 4,576,928 admissions in France.

1 Frankenstein
2 Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus, is a novel written by English author Mary Shelley about eccentric scientist Victor Frankenstein, who creates a grotesque creature in an unorthodox scientific experiment.
3 Shelley started writing the story when she was eighteen, and the novel was published when she was twenty.
4 The first edition was published anonymously in London in 1818.
5 Shelley's name appears on the second edition, published in France in 1823.
6 Shelley had travelled to Europe, visiting Germany and Switzerland.
7 In 1814, prior to writing the famous novel, Shelley took a journey on the river Rhine in Germany with a stop in Gernsheim which is just 17 km (10 mi) away from Frankenstein Castle, where two centuries before her visit an alchemist was engaged in experiments.
8 Later, she traveled in the region of Geneva (Switzerland)—where much of the story takes place—and the topics of galvanism and other similar occult ideas were themes of conversation among her companions, particularly her lover and future husband, Percy Shelley.
9 Mary, Percy, Lord Byron, and John Polidori decided to have a competition to see who could write the best horror story.
10 After thinking for days about what her possible storyline could be, Shelley dreamt about a scientist who created life and was horrified by what he had made; her dream later evolved into the story within the novel.
11 "Frankenstein" is infused with elements of the Gothic novel and the Romantic movement and is also considered to be one of the earliest examples of science fiction.
12 Brian Aldiss has argued that it should be considered the first true science fiction story, because unlike in previous stories with fantastical elements resembling those of later science fiction, the central character "makes a deliberate decision" and "turns to modern experiments in the laboratory" to achieve fantastic results.
13 It has had a considerable influence across literature and popular culture and spawned a complete genre of horror stories, films, and plays.
14 Since publication of the novel, the name "Frankenstein" is often used to refer to the monster itself, as is done in the stage adaptation by Peggy Webling.
15 This usage is sometimes considered erroneous, but usage commentators regard the monster sense of "Frankenstein" as well-established and an acceptable usage.
16 In the novel, the monster is identified via words such as "creature", "monster", "fiend", "wretch", "vile insect", "daemon", "being", and "it".
17 Speaking to Victor Frankenstein, the monster refers to himself as "the Adam of your labors", and elsewhere as someone who "would have" been "your Adam", but is instead "your fallen angel."

1 Timecode (film)
2 Timecode is a 2000 American experimental film directed by Mike Figgis.
3 The film is constructed from four continuous 90-minute takes that were filmed simultaneously by four cameramen; the screen is divided into quarters and the four shots are shown simultaneously.
4 The film depicts several groups of people in Los Angeles as they interact and conflict while preparing for the shooting of a movie in a production office.
5 The dialogue was largely improvised, and the sound mix of the film is designed so that the most significant of the four sequences on screen dominates the soundtrack at any given moment.
6 The movie was shot on videotape.
7 This was transferred to film for the theatrical release, but the VHS and DVD releases present the original videotape stock.
8 The film was shot 15 different times over a period of two weeks and Figgis selected the best version for theatrical release; this version was recorded on November 19, 1999, beginning at 3:00 p.m, and ending a little after 4:30 p.m.
9 The DVD release includes the first attempt as a bonus feature.
10 Additionally on the DVD release, viewers have access to all audio tracks to allow for custom sound mixing, rather than the mix of the finished film.
11 The film takes place in and around a film production company office, and involves several interweaving plot threads which include: a young actress named Rose (Salma Hayek) who tries to score a screen test from her secret boyfriend Alex Green (Stellan Skarsgård), a noted but disillusioned director.
12 Meanwhile, Rose's tryst with him is discovered by her girlfriend Lauren (Jeanne Tripplehorn), an insanely jealous businesswoman who plants a microphone in Rose's purse and spends most of the time in the back of her limousine parked outside the office building listening in on Rose's conversations.
13 Elsewhere, Alex's wife Emma (Saffron Burrows) is seen with a therapist (Glenne Headly) debating about asking him for a divorce.
14 In the meantime, numerous film industry types (played by Xander Berkeley, Golden Brooks, Holly Hunter and Kyle MacLachlan), pitch ideas for the next big hit film.
15 An allusion to this film can be heard during another of Mike Figgis's films, "Hotel".
16 In the first moment the screen is split into four quadrants.
17 The sound of milk being steamed in one quadrant combines with the sound of an actor tapping beats onto a paperback novel in another quadrant to create a very subtle imitation of the sounds and music heard during the first few minutes in "Timecode".

1 Touching the Void
2 Touching the Void is a 1988 book by Joe Simpson, recounting his and Simon Yates' successful but disastrous and nearly fatal climb of the 6,344-metre (20,813 foot) Siula Grande in the Peruvian Andes in 1985.
3 The book won the 1989 Boardman Tasker Prize for Mountain Literature and the 1989 NCR Book Award.
4 In 2003, fifteen years after it was first published, the book was turned into a documentary film of the same name, directed by Kevin MacDonald.
5 The film won the Alexander Korda Award for Best British Film at the 2003 BAFTA Awards and was featured at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival.
6 In 2014, the book was being used in the English literature AQA GCSE course nationally in England.
7 Simpson slipped down an ice cliff and landed awkwardly, crushing his tibia into his knee joint, thus breaking his right leg.
8 The pair, whose trip had already taken longer than they intended due to bad weather on the ascent, had run out of fuel for their stove and could not melt ice or snow for drinking water.
9 With bad weather closing in and daylight fading, they needed to descend quickly to the glacier, about 3,000 feet below.
10 Yates proceeded to lower Simpson off the North Ridge by tying two 150-foot lengths of rope together to make one 300-foot rope.
11 However, because the two ropes were tied together, the knot couldn't go through the belay plate.
12 Simpson would have to stand on his good (left) leg to give Yates enough slack to unclip the rope, in order to thread the rope back through the lowering device with the knot on the other side.
13 With storm conditions worsening and darkness upon them, Yates inadvertently lowered Simpson off a cliff.
14 Because Yates was sitting higher up the mountain, he could not see or hear Simpson; he could only feel that Simpson had all his weight on the rope.
15 Simpson attempted to ascend the rope using a Prusik knot.
16 However, because his hands were badly frost-bitten, he was unable to tie the knots properly and accidentally dropped one of the cords required to ascend the rope.
17 The pair were stuck in a very bad situation.
18 Simpson could not climb up the rope, Yates could not pull him back up, and the cliff was too high for Simpson to be lowered down.
19 They remained in this position for some time, until it was obvious that the snow around Yates' belay seat was about to give out.
20 Because the pair were tied together, they would both be pulled to their deaths.
21 Yates had to make the hard decision to cut the rope in order to save his own life.
22 Doing so may very well have also saved Simpson's life, as he would have died of exposure if he had been left to hang in the strong freezing wind for much longer.
23 When Yates cut the rope, Simpson plummeted down the cliff and into a deep crevasse.
24 Exhausted and suffering from hypothermia, Yates dug himself a snow cave to wait out the storm.
25 The next day, Yates carried on descending the mountain by himself.
26 When he reached the crevasse he realized the situation that Simpson had been in and what had happened when he cut the rope.
27 After calling for Simpson and hearing no reply, Yates made the assumption that Simpson had died and so continued down the mountain alone.
28 Simpson, however, was still alive.
29 He had survived the 150-foot fall despite his broken leg and had landed on a small ledge inside the crevasse.
30 When Simpson regained consciousness, he discovered that the rope had been cut and realized that Yates would presume that he was dead.
31 He therefore had to save himself.
32 It was impossible for Simpson to climb up to the entrance of the crevasse (because of the overhanging ice and his broken leg).
33 Therefore his only choice was to lower himself deeper into the crevasse and hope that there was another way out.
34 After lowering himself, Simpson found another small entrance and climbed back onto the glacier via a steep snow slope.
35 From there, Simpson spent three days without food and with almost no water, crawling and hopping five miles back to their base camp.
36 This involved navigating the glacier (which was scattered with more crevasses) and the moraines below.
37 Exhausted and almost completely delirious, he reached base camp only a few hours before Yates intended to return to civilization.
38 Simpson's survival is widely regarded by mountaineers as amongst the most amazing pieces of mountaineering lore.

1 American Beauty (1999 film)

3 Kevin Spacey stars as Lester Burnham, an office worker who has a midlife crisis when he becomes infatuated with his teenage daughter's best friend, Angela (Mena Suvari).
4 Annette Bening co-stars as Lester's materialistic wife, Carolyn, and Thora Birch plays their insecure daughter, Jane.
5 Wes Bentley, Chris Cooper, and Allison Janney also feature.
6 The film has been described by academics as a satire of American middle class notions of beauty and personal satisfaction; analysis has focused on the film's explorations of romantic and paternal love, sexuality, beauty, materialism, self-liberation, and redemption.
7 Ball began writing "American Beauty" as a play in the early 1990s, partly inspired by the media circus around the Amy Fisher trial in 1992.
8 He shelved the play after realizing the story would not work on stage.
9 After several years as a television screenwriter, Ball revived the idea in 1997 when attempting to break into the film industry.
10 The modified script had a cynical outlook that was influenced by Ball's frustrating tenures writing for several sitcoms.
11 Producers Dan Jinks and Bruce Cohen took "American Beauty" to DreamWorks; the then-fledgling film studio bought Ball's script for $250,000, outbidding several other production bodies.
12 DreamWorks financed the $15 million production and served as its North American distributor.
13 "American Beauty" marked acclaimed theater director Mendes' film debut; courted after his successful productions of the musicals "Oliver!"
14 and "Cabaret", Mendes was nevertheless only given the job after twenty others were considered and several "A-list" directors turned down the opportunity.
15 Spacey was Mendes' first choice for the role of Lester, even though DreamWorks had urged the director to consider better-known actors; similarly, the studio suggested several actors for the role of Carolyn until Mendes offered the part to Bening without DreamWorks' knowledge.
16 Principal photography took place between December 1998 and February 1999 on soundstages at the Warner Bros. backlot in Burbank, California and on location in Los Angeles.
17 Mendes' dominant style was deliberate and composed; he made extensive use of static shots and slow pans and zooms to generate tension.
18 Cinematographer Conrad Hall complemented Mendes' style with peaceful shot compositions to contrast with the turbulent on-screen events.
19 During editing, Mendes made several changes that gave the film a less cynical tone than the script.
20 Released in North America on September 15, 1999, "American Beauty" was positively received by critics and audiences; it was the best-reviewed American film of the year and grossed over $350 million worldwide.
21 Reviewers praised most aspects of the production, with particular emphasis on Mendes, Spacey and Ball; criticism tended to focus on the familiarity of the characters and setting.
22 DreamWorks launched a major campaign to increase "American Beauty"s chances of Academy Award success; at the 72nd Academy Awards the following year, the film won Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor (for Spacey), Best Original Screenplay, and Best Cinematography.
23 The film was nominated for and won many other awards and honors, mainly for the direction, writing and acting.

4 In 2007, the film was released theatrically by IFC Films.
5 However, this is a re-edited shorter edition in (chronological) scenes, sound and duration, which leads to another interpretation of the director's intent with his movie.

7 Some scenes have been deleted, e.g. an episode in which the main character compares his penis' size with that of a friend is not included.

9 In the original score the song 'Wild tigers I have known' by Emily Jane White was not included.
10 To make it more confusing, shoots that are in the re-edited movie, are not be found in the original extended release, so considering this the film was probably about 1:50 minutes.
11 Also there is a European DVD-release, issued by Soda, in which the IFC-film is even shorter, namely 1:13 minutes.

1 Stella Street
2 Stella Street is a British television comedy programme, originally screened in four series on BBC Two between 1997 and 2001.
3 It takes the form of a mockumentary filmed on a camcorder, based on the fantastical premise that a group of British and American celebrities who have all decided to move into Stella Street in Surbiton (actually Hartswood Road, London, W12).
4 The show (and subsequent film) was conceived and written by John Sessions, Phil Cornwell and Peter Richardson (who also directed).
5 The main characters are played by Sessions, Cornwell and Ronni Ancona.
6 The characters themselves are impressions of famous celebrities such as Marlon Brando, Michael Caine, Jack Nicholson and, idiosyncratically, UK football pundit Jimmy Hill.
7 "Stella Street's" depiction of celebrities is mainly rooted in the popular stereotypes surrounding them.
8 For example, "Stella Street"'s Jack Nicholson is an inveterate womaniser, drug taker, and has a tacky line in Hawaiian shirts.
9 Michael Caine is seen as an awkward wanna-be cognoscente in horn-rimmed glasses and a shock of ginger hair.
10 Dirk Bogarde is a posh buffoon only interested in his rose garden and Country Life magazine.
11 Al Pacino is deluded that he is a "tall actor, like Danny DeVito and Dustin Hoffman", despite the viewer knowing that he (and the others) are of short stature.
12 Joe Pesci is portrayed in the light of his most well-known roles in violent gangster films, while Jimmy Hill inevitably appears dull when talking about the FA Cup Final to plainly uninterested greater celebrities.
13 Sessions and Cornwell also play other non-celebrity roles including elderly housekeeper, and lifelong Stella Street resident Mrs Huggett, couple-from-hell Pam and Graham Slurry, dopey builder Dean Barraclough and the potentially murderous gardener Len MacMonotony.
14 The show returned for a 'fifth' series in 2008 on the comedy website log.tv, but this consists of only seven five-minute pieces of John Sessions, Phil Cornwell and Peter Richardson talking about featured clips from the original series.

9 Oliver Stone, Don Murphy, and Jane Hamsher were set to produce.

11 Chris Columbus, Sam Hamm, James Cameron, Peter Jackson, and the Hughes brothers later became involved.
12 With William Broyles, Jr.'s script, Tim Burton was hired as director, and the film was put into active development.
13 Lawrence Konner and Mark Rosenthal rewrote the script, and filming took place from November 2000 to April 2001.
14 "Planet of the Apes" was released to mixed reviews, but was a financial success.
15 Much criticism focused on the confusing plot and ending, although Rick Baker's prosthetic makeup designs were praised.
16 Despite the film's financial success, 20th Century Fox chose not to produce a sequel, and instead rebooted the "Planet of the Apes" franchise altogether in 2011 with "Rise of the Planet of the Apes".

1 Never Give a Sucker an Even Break
2 Never Give a Sucker an Even Break is a 1941 Universal Pictures comedy film starring W.C. Fields.
3 Fields also wrote the original story, under the pseudonym "Otis Criblecoblis".
4 Fields plays himself, searching for a chance to promote a surreal screenplay he has written, whose several framed sequences form the film's center.
5 The title is derived from lines from two earlier films.
6 In "Poppy" (1936), he tells his daughter, "If we should ever separate, my little plum, I want to give you just one bit of fatherly advice: Never give a sucker an even break!"
7 In "You Can't Cheat an Honest Man" (1939), he tells a customer that his grandfather's last words, "just before they sprung the trap" were, "You can't cheat an honest man; never give a sucker an even break, or smarten up a chump."
8 This was Fields's last starring film.
9 By then he was 61 years old, and alcohol and illness had taken their toll: he was much heavier than he had been six/seven years earlier when he had made eight films in the space of two years and was reasonably physically fit.
10 Fields hand-picked most of the supporting cast.
11 He chose Universal's young singing star Gloria Jean to play his niece, and got two of his favorite comedians, Leon Errol and Franklin Pangborn, to play supporting roles.
12 Margaret Dumont, familiar as the Marx Brothers' matronly foil, was cast as the haughty 'Mrs. Hemogloben'.
13 The zany film played to mixed reviews in 1941 but is today considered one of Fields's classics.

2 Mother India is a 1957 Hindi epic melodrama film, directed by Mehboob Khan and starring Nargis, Sunil Dutt, Rajendra Kumar, and Raaj Kumar.
3 A remake of Khan's earlier film "Aurat" (1940), it is the story of a poverty-stricken village woman named Radha (Nargis) who, in the absence of her husband, struggles to raise her sons and survive against a cunning money-lender amidst many troubles.
4 Despite her hardship, she sets a goddess-like moral example of an ideal Indian woman.
5 The title of the film was chosen to counter American author Katherine Mayo's 1927 polemical book "Mother India", which vilified Indian culture.
6 Allusions to Hindu mythology are abundant in the film, and its lead character has been seen as a metonymic representation of a Hindu woman who reflects high moral values and the concept of what it means to be a mother to society through self-sacrifice.
7 "Mother India" metaphorically represents India as a nation in the aftermath of independence, and alludes to a strong sense of nationalism and nation-building.
8 While some authors treat Radha as the symbol of women empowerment, others see her cast in female stereotypes.
9 The Oedipal elements between Radha and her son Birju have also been discussed by authors.
10 The film was shot in Mumbai's Mehboob Studios and in the villages of Maharashtra, Gujarat, and Uttar Pradesh states.
11 The music by Naushad introduced Western classical music and Hollywood-style orchestra to Hindi cinema.
12 The film was the most expensive Hindi cinema (Bollywood) production and earned the highest revenue for any Hindi film at that time.
13 Adjusted for inflation, "Mother India" still ranks among the all-time Indian box office hits.
14 It was released in India amid fanfare in October or November 1957, and had several high-profile screenings, including one at the capital New Delhi attended by the country's president and prime minister.
15 "Mother India" became a definitive cultural classic and is regarded as one of the best films in Indian and world cinema.
16 It was India's first submission for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film in 1958, where it got the nomination.
17 The film won the Filmfare Best Film Award for 1957, and Nargis and Khan won the Best Actress and Best Director awards respectively.

2 Road to Zanzibar is a 1941 Paramount Pictures comedy film starring Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, and Dorothy Lamour, and marked the second picture in the popular "Road to …" series made by the trio.
3 Paramount executives owned the rights to a story by Sy Bartlett titled "Find Colonel Fawcett" about two men trekking through the jungles of Madagascar.
4 They felt that its plot was so similar to the recently released "Stanley and Livingstone" (1939) that it could not be made as written without seeming too derivative, so they turned the project over to Frank Butler and Don Hartman, the writers on the wildly successful "Road to Singapore" which Paramount had released the year before.

8 Whilst there he made "Snake in the Eagle's Shadow" and "Drunken Master" with Yuen Woo-ping.
9 The success of these two films at the domestic box office prompted Lo to give belated releases to "Spiritual Kung Fu" (late 1978) and "Dragon Fist" (1979).
10 "Spiritual Kung Fu" was Lo Wei's response to Chan's earlier attempt at blending comedy with kung fu in the film "Half a Loaf of Kung Fu".
11 The supernatural elements of the film were brought to life by some early examples of Hong Kong special effects.

1 Porgy and Bess
2 Porgy and Bess is an opera, first performed in 1935, with music by George Gershwin, libretto by DuBose Heyward, and lyrics by DuBose Heyward and Ira Gershwin.
3 It was based on DuBose Heyward's novel "Porgy" and subsequent play of the same title, which he co-wrote with his wife Dorothy Heyward.
4 All three works deal with African-American life in the fictitious "Catfish Row" (based on the area of Cabbage Row) in Charleston, South Carolina, in the early 1920s.
5 Originally conceived by George Gershwin as an "American folk opera", "Porgy and Bess" premiered in New York in the fall of 1935 and featured an entire cast of classically trained African-American singers—a daring artistic choice at the time.
6 Gershwin chose the African-American musician Eva Jessye as the choral director for the opera.
7 Gershwin explained why he called "Porgy and Bess" a folk opera in a 1935 "New York Times" article: "Porgy and Bess is a folk tale.
8 Its people naturally would sing folk music.
9 When I first began work in the music I decided against the use of original folk material because I wanted the music to be all of one piece.
10 Therefore I wrote my own spirituals and folksongs.
11 But they are still folk music – and therefore, being in operatic form, "Porgy and Bess" becomes a folk opera."
12 The work was not widely accepted in the United States as a legitimate opera until 1976, when the Houston Grand Opera production of Gershwin's complete score established it as an artistic triumph.
13 Nine years later, the Metropolitan Opera of New York gave their first performance of the work.
14 This production was also broadcast as part of the ongoing Saturday afternoon live Metropolitan Opera radio broadcasts.
15 The work is now considered part of the standard operatic repertoire and is regularly performed internationally.
16 Despite this success, the opera has been controversial; some critics from the outset have considered it a racist portrayal of African Americans.
17 The song "Summertime" is the best-known selection from "Porgy and Bess".
18 Other popular and frequently recorded songs from the opera include "It Ain't Necessarily So", "Bess, You Is My Woman Now", "I Loves You, Porgy" and "I Got Plenty o' Nuttin'".
19 The opera is admired for Gershwin's innovative synthesis of European orchestral techniques with American jazz and folk music idioms.
20 "Porgy and Bess" tells the story of Porgy, a disabled black beggar living in the slums of Charleston, South Carolina.
21 It deals with his attempts to rescue Bess from the clutches of Crown, her violent and possessive lover, and Sportin' Life, the drug dealer.
22 Where the earlier novel and stage-play differ, the opera generally follows the stage-play.

1 The French Lieutenant's Woman
2 The French Lieutenant's Woman is a 1969 postmodern historical fiction novel by John Fowles.
3 It was his third published novel, after "The Collector" (1963) and "The Magus" (1965).
4 The novel explores the fraught relationship of gentleman and amateur naturalist, Charles Smithson, and the former governess and independent woman, Sarah Woodruff, with whom he falls in love.
5 The novel builds on Fowles' authority in Victorian literature, both following and critiquing many of the conventions of period novels.
6 Following publication, the library magazine "American Libraries," described the novel as one of the "Notable Books of 1969".
7 Subsequent to its initial popularity, publishers produced numerous editions and translated the novel into many languages; at the time, it was also treated extensively by scholars.
8 The novel remains popular, figuring in both public and academic conversations.
9 In 2005, "TIME" magazine chose the novel as one of the 100 best English-language novels published between 1923 and 2005.
10 Part of the novel's reputation is based on its expression of postmodern literary concerns through thematic focus on metafiction, historiography, metahistory, marxist criticism and feminism.
11 Stylistically and thematically, Linda Hutcheon describes the novel as an exemplar of a particular postmodern genre: "historiographic metafiction."
12 Because of the contrast between the independent Sarah Woodruff and the more stereotypical male characters, the novel often receives attention for its treatment of gender issues.
13 However, despite claims by Fowles that it is a feminist novel, critics have debated whether it offers a sufficiently transformative perspective on women.
14 Following popular success, the novel has influenced a larger legacy, both through response by academics and other writers, such as A.S. Byatt, and through adaptation as film and dramatic play.
15 In 1981, the novel was adapted as a film of the same name with script by noted playwright Harold Pinter, directed by Karel Reisz and starring Meryl Streep and Jeremy Irons.
16 The film received considerable critical acclaim and awards, including several BAFTAs and Golden Globes.

1 The Tempest
2 The Tempest is a play by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written in 1610–11, and thought by many critics to be the last play that Shakespeare wrote alone.
3 It is set on a remote island, where Prospero, the rightful Duke of Milan, plots to restore his daughter Miranda to her rightful place using illusion and skillful manipulation.
4 He conjures up a storm, the eponymous tempest, to lure his usurping brother Antonio and the complicit King Alonso of Naples to the island.
5 There, his machinations bring about the revelation of Antonio's lowly nature, the redemption of the King, and the marriage of Miranda to Alonso's son, Ferdinand.
6 There is no obvious single source for the plot of "The Tempest", but researchers have seen parallels in Erasmus's "Naufragium", Peter Martyr's "De orbe novo", and eyewitness reports by William Strachey and Sylvester Jordain of the real-life shipwreck of the "Sea Venture" on the islands of Bermuda, and the subsequent conflict between Sir Thomas Gates and Sir George Somers.
7 In addition, one of Gonzalo's speeches is derived from Montaigne's essay "Of the Canibales", and much of Prospero's renunciative speech is taken word for word from a speech by Medea in Ovid's poem "Metamorphoses".
8 The masque in Act 4 may have been a later addition, possibly in honour of the wedding of Princess Elizabeth and Frederick V in 1613.
9 The play was first published in the First Folio of 1623.
10 The story draws heavily on the tradition of the romance, and it was influenced by tragicomedy and the courtly masque and perhaps by the commedia dell'arte.
11 It differs from Shakespeare's other plays in its observation of a stricter, more organised neoclassical style.
12 Critics see "The Tempest" as explicitly concerned with its own nature as a play, frequently drawing links between Prospero's "art" and theatrical illusion, and early critics saw Prospero as a representation of Shakespeare, and his renunciation of magic as signalling Shakespeare's farewell to the stage.
13 The play portrays Prospero as a rational, and not an occultist, magician by providing a contrast to him in Sycorax: her magic is frequently described as destructive and terrible, where Prospero's is said to be wondrous and beautiful.
14 Beginning in about 1950, with the publication of "Psychology of Colonization" by Octave Mannoni, "The Tempest" was viewed more and more through the lens of postcolonial theory—exemplified in adaptations like Aimé Césaire's "Une Tempête" set in Haiti—and there is even a scholarly journal on post-colonial criticism named after Caliban.
15 Because of the small role that women play in the story, "The Tempest" has not attracted much feminist analysis.
16 Miranda is typically viewed as having completely internalised the patriarchal order of things, thinking of herself as subordinate to her father.
17 "The Tempest" did not attract a significant amount of attention before the closing of the theatres in 1642, and only attained popularity after the Restoration, and then only in adapted versions.
18 In the mid-19th century, theatre productions began to reinstate the original Shakespearean text, and in the 20th century, critics and scholars undertook a significant re-appraisal of the play's value, to the extent that it is now considered to be one of Shakespeare's greatest works.
19 It has been adapted numerous times in a variety of styles and formats: in music, at least 46 operas by composers such as Fromental Halévy, Zdeněk Fibich and Thomas Adès; orchestral works by Tchaikovsky, Arthur Sullivan and Arthur Honegger; and songs by such diverse artists as Ralph Vaughan Williams, Michael Nyman and Pete Seeger; in literature, Percy Bysshe Shelley's poem "With a Guitar, To Jane" and W. H. Auden's "The Sea and the Mirror"; novels by Aimé Césaire and "The Diviners" by Margaret Laurence; in paintings by William Hogarth, Henry Fuseli, and John Everett Millais; and on screen, ranging through a hand-tinted version of Herbert Beerbohm Tree's 1905 stage performance, the science fiction film "Forbidden Planet" in 1956, Peter Greenaway's 1991 "Prospero's Books" featuring John Gielgud as Prospero, to Julie Taymor's 2010 film version which changed Prospero to Prospera (as played by Helen Mirren), and Des McAnuff's 2010 Stratford Shakespeare Festival production which starred Christopher Plummer.

8 "A visit to the dissecting room in a hospital would be quite as pleasant," opined the "New York Evening Post", "and at the same time more instructive."
9 Modern viewers can discern the same macabre style of this film (and other Browning-Chaney collaborations) in later productions ranging from the 1930s Universal Studios horror films to the 1960s "Twilight Zone" and "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" programs.

2 Lakeboat is a semi-autobiographical play by David Mamet, written in 1970 and first produced in 1980 (revised version).
3 As he would later do with "Glengarry Glen Ross", Mamet drew upon experiences from a past vocation to create high drama.
4 In this case, he turned to his days as a cook aboard a cargo ship to frame this tale of Dale Katzman, a college student from an Ivy League school "near Boston" who takes a summer job as a cook in the galley of the "T. Harrison", a lake freighter for a Chicago-based steel concern.
5 Dale's predecessor, Guigliani, endured a particularly violent end while on "terra firma", the cause and nature of which is speculated by the other crew members.

8 The play's world premiere was staged by the Milwaukee Repertory Theater on April 24, 1980; subsequent major productions were mounted by the Long Wharf Theatre and the Goodman Theatre in 1982.

3 At times, the gang included Buck Barrow, Blanche Barrow, Raymond Hamilton, W. D. Jones, Joe Palmer, Ralph Fults, and Henry Methvin.
4 Their exploits captured the attention of the American public during the "public enemy era" between 1931 and 1934.
5 Though known today for his dozen-or-so bank robberies, Barrow preferred to rob small stores or rural gas stations.
6 The gang is believed to have killed at least nine police officers and several civilians.
7 The couple were eventually ambushed and killed in Bienville Parish, Louisiana, by law officers.
8 Their reputation was revived and cemented in American pop folklore by Arthur Penn's 1967 film "Bonnie and Clyde", which starred Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty as the pair.

11 Gang member W.D. Jones later testified that he was unsure whether he had ever seen her fire at officers.
12 Parker's reputation as a cigar-smoking gun moll grew out of a playful snapshot found by police at an abandoned hideout, released to the press, and published nationwide.
13 While she did chain smoke Camel cigarettes, she was not a cigar smoker.
14 Historian Jeff Guinn has said that the hideout photos led to the glamorization and creation of legend about the outlaws:

1 The Red Badge of Courage
2 The Red Badge of Courage is a war novel by American author Stephen Crane (1871–1900).
3 Taking place during the American Civil War, the story is about a young private of the Union Army, Henry Fleming, who flees from the field of battle.
4 Overcome with shame, he longs for a wound, a "red badge of courage," to counteract his cowardice.
5 When his regiment once again faces the enemy, Henry acts as standard-bearer.
6 Although Crane was born after the war, and had not at the time experienced battle first-hand, the novel is known for its realism.
7 He began writing what would become his second novel in 1893, using various contemporary and written accounts (such as those published previously by "Century Magazine") as inspiration.
8 It is believed that he based the fictional battle on that of Chancellorsville; he may also have interviewed veterans of the 124th New York Volunteer Infantry Regiment, commonly known as the Orange Blossoms.
9 Initially shortened and serialized in newspapers in December 1894, the novel was published in full in October 1895.
10 A longer version of the work, based on Crane's original manuscript, was published in 1982.
11 The novel is known for its distinctive style, which includes realistic battle sequences as well as the repeated use of color imagery, and ironic tone.
12 Separating itself from a traditional war narrative, Crane's story reflects the inner experience of its protagonist (a soldier fleeing from combat) rather than the external world around him.
13 Also notable for its use of what Crane called a "psychological portrayal of fear", the novel's allegorical and symbolic qualities are often debated by critics.
14 Several of the themes that the story explores are maturation, heroism, cowardice, and the indifference of nature.
15 "The Red Badge of Courage" garnered widespread acclaim, what H. G. Wells called "an orgy of praise", shortly after its publication, making Crane an instant celebrity at the age of twenty-four.
16 The novel and its author did have their initial detractors, however, including author and veteran Ambrose Bierce.
17 Adapted several times for the screen, the novel became a bestseller.
18 It has never been out of print and is now thought to be Crane's most important work and a major American text.

1 Window to Paris
2 Window to Paris () is a 1993 Russian drama film directed by Yuri Mamin.
3 Some French friends suggested that Yuri Mamin should make a joint Russian-French film, which led to the creation of the 1993 film "Window to Paris" or "Salade Russe".
4 The film starts with residents of a Saint Petersburg communal apartment of 1990s finding a window hidden behind a cupboard that leads to a mansard roof and shows the effect of this discovery.
5 The film is a grotesque prediction of the effect of fall of the Iron Curtain on the life in Europe, about the invasion of Russian demoralized businessmen and the humiliation of the intelligentsia in Russia.
6 At the end of the film, the main character, Nikolai Chizhov, a school music teacher and a member of the Russian intelligentsia, gives a persuasive speech to the children, who have decided to remain in Paris.
7 In his words: "You were born in a terrible time in a poor, devastated country.
8 But it is your country, after all!
9 Don't you want to make it better?"
10 At that time, this was a rather rare demonstration of patriotism; the authors of the film and all its actors were quite sincere.
11 As a division of Lenfilm, the film company Troitsky Most refused to participate in financing the project, thus putting the French partners on the edge of financial collapse and threatening the production of the film.
12 Because of this situation, Yuri Mamin was urged to establish his own film company in order to attract support from commercial businesses that were thriving in post-Perestroika Russia.
13 That is how Yuri Mamin's Fountain Fund for Support and Development of Cinematography was created.
14 The name of the fund, "Fountain", is from Mamin's preceding film that won the grand prize at a French film festival, which had been organized under the patronage of Madame Danielle Mitterrand, the wife of the French then-president François Mitterrand.
15 It was this in particular that facilitated financing for the film "Window to Paris" from the French fund CNC.
16 The comedy "Window to Paris" attained such success in France and at the Berlin Film Festival that Michael Barker, the co-president of the American distribution company Sony Pictures Classics, arranged for the film to be released in the United States, and twice requested Goskino to submit the film "Window to Paris" for the 1994 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.
17 Barker wrote: "The response to the film at screenings in Los Angeles and New York has been terrific with both the critics and the audiences.
18 It seems to communicate the message of bringing two cultures together in a warm and enlightening manner... should 'Salade Russe' be the Official Russian Entry to the Academy for the Best Foreign Film Academy Award, we feel confident the picture will not only be nominated for the Award, but has a very good chance to ultimately win the Award itself."
19 However, at that time Nikita Mikhalkov, with his freshly finished film "Burnt by the Sun", greatly wished to be considered for the Oscar.
20 After the chairman of the Russian Oscar Committee, Elem Klimov, did not agree to submit Mikhalkov’s film to the competition, Mikhalkov demonstrated his outstanding skills in behind-the-scenes intrigues.
21 Elem Klimov was immediately replaced by Mikhalkov's brother, Andrey Konchalovsky, who agreed to send the film "Burnt by the Sun" to the United States.
22 Thus, Mamin was deprived of the opportunity to win the Oscar.
23 The members of the Russian Oscar Committee remain under the control of Nikita Mikhalkov, who shapes the politics of Russian cinematography.
24 Therefore, in Mamin's opinion, neither the best nor the most talented films are being submitted to the American Film Academy, but rather the ones created by Mikhalkov's favorite artists.
25 Nikita Mikhalkov is currently Vladimir Putin's cinematography adviser.
26 The idea of a mystical window, a dimensional portal between Russia and Paris, came to the mind of the Moscow screenwriter Felix Mironer long before Gorbachev's Perestroika.
27 He told this idea to the filmmaker Aleksey German, who sold it 20 years later to Arkady Tigai, Yuri Mamin' co-author, for a bottle of cognac.
28 "Window to Paris" may be truly called a people's film.
29 It is the most famous of all Yuri Mamin’s works, and is loved by millions of viewers around the world.
30 Many quotations from the film have become folk proverbs.

12 Since joining MGM in 1928, Keaton was not accorded the creative freedom that he had enjoyed during the silent era.

19 No Beer?"

8 The resulting film became the first feature length movie, introducing scores of Americans to the true horrors of war that they had never personally seen.
9 Thayer sold the studios on making the film despite their concerns that no one would sit through a movie longer than 1 hour, by convincing them that they could raise the price of movies to ten cents, doubling the going price at that time.
10 The actual contract that Pancho Villa signed with Frank N. Thayer and the Mutual Film Company on January 5, 1914 to film the Battle of Ojinaga still exists and is in a museum in Mexico City.
11 The original film has been lost, but some unedited film reels of the battle, showing Pancho Villa and his army fighting Federal forces, as well as photographs and publicity stills taken from the original film still exist.

2 The Endless Summer is a seminal 1966 surf movie.
3 Filmmaker/narrator Bruce Brown follows two surfers, Mike Hynson and Robert August, on a surfing trip around the world.

6 Other important surfers of the time, such as Miki Dora, Phil Edwards and Butch Van Artsdalen, also appear.
7 Its title comes from the idea, expressed at both the beginning and end of the film, that if one had enough time and money it would be possible to follow the summer around the world, making it endless.
8 The concept of the film was born through the suggestion of a travel agent to Bruce Brown during the planning stages of the film.

12 The surf rock soundtrack to the film was provided by The Sandals.
13 The "Theme to the Endless Summer" was written by Gaston Georis and John Blakeley of the Sandals.
14 It has become one of the best known film themes in the surf movie genre.

1 The Cat in the Hat
2 The Cat in the Hat is a children's book written and illustrated by Theodor Geisel under the pen name Dr. Seuss and first published in 1957.
3 The story centers on a tall anthropomorphic cat, who wears a red and white-striped hat and a red bow tie.
4 The Cat shows up at the house of Sally and her brother one rainy day when their mother is away.
5 Ignoring repeated objections from the children's fish, the Cat shows the children a few of his tricks in an attempt to entertain them.
6 In the process he and his companions, Thing One and Thing Two, wreck the house.
7 The children and the fish become more and more alarmed until the Cat produces a machine that he uses to clean everything up.
8 He then disappears just before the children's mother walks in.
9 Geisel created the book in response to a debate in the United States about literacy in early childhood and the ineffectiveness of traditional primers such as those featuring Dick and Jane.
10 Geisel was asked to write a more entertaining primer by William Spaulding, whom he had met during World War II and who was then director of the education division at Houghton Mifflin.
11 However, because Geisel was already under contract with Random House, the two publishers agreed to a deal: Houghton Mifflin published the education edition, which was sold to schools, and Random House published the trade edition, which was sold in bookstores.
12 Geisel gave varying accounts of how he created "The Cat in the Hat", but in the version he told most often he was so frustrated with the word list from which he could choose words to write his story that he decided to scan the list and create a story based on the first two words he found that rhymed.
13 The words he found were "cat" and "hat".
14 The book met with immediate critical acclaim and financial success.
15 Reviewers praised it as an exciting alternative to traditional primers.
16 Three years after its debut, the book had already sold over a million copies, and in 2001 "Publishers Weekly" listed the book at number nine on its list of best-selling children's books of all time.
17 The book's success led to the creation of Beginner Books, a publishing house centered around producing similar books for young children learning to read.
18 In 1983, Geisel said, "It is the book I'm proudest of because it had something to do with the death of the Dick and Jane primers."
19 The book was adapted into a 1971 animated television special and a 2003 live-action film.

1 Tom Sawyer
2 Thomas "Tom" Sawyer is the title character of the Mark Twain novel "Adventures of Tom Sawyer" (1876).
3 He appears in three other novels by Twain: "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" (1884), "Tom Sawyer Abroad" (1894), and "Tom Sawyer, Detective" (1896).
4 Sawyer also appears in at least three unfinished Twain works, "Huck and Tom Among the Indians", "Schoolhouse Hill", and "Tom Sawyer's Conspiracy".
5 While all three uncompleted works were posthumously published, only "Tom Sawyer's Conspiracy" has a complete plot, as Twain abandoned the other two works after finishing only a few chapters.
6 The fictional character's name may have been derived from a jolly and flamboyant fireman named Tom Sawyer whom Twain was acquainted with in San Francisco, California, while Twain was employed as a reporter at the "San Francisco Call".
7 Twain used to listen to Sawyer tell stories of his youth, "Sam, he would listen to these pranks of mine with great interest and he'd occasionally take 'em down in his notebook.
8 One day he says to me: ‘I am going to put you between the covers of a book some of these days, Tom.’
9 ‘Go ahead, Sam,’ I said, ‘but don’t disgrace my name.’"
10 Twain himself said the character sprang from three people, later identified as: John B. Briggs (who died in 1907), William Bowen (who died in 1893) and Twain; however Twain later changed his story saying Sawyer was fully formed solely from his imagination, but as Robert Graysmith says, "The great appropriator liked to pretend his characters sprang fully grown from his fertile mind."

1 Mephisto (1981 film)
2 Mephisto is the title of a 1981 film adaptation of Klaus Mann's novel "Mephisto", directed by István Szabó, and starring Klaus Maria Brandauer as Hendrik Höfgen.
3 The film was a co-production between companies in West Germany, Hungary and Austria.
4 The film adapts the story of Mephistopheles and Doctor Faustus by having the main character Hendrik Höfgen abandon his conscience and continue to act and ingratiate himself with the Nazi Party and so keep and improve his job and social position.
5 The plot's bitter irony is that the protagonist's most fond dream is to play Mephisto - but in order to achieve this dream he in effect sells his soul, and realises too late that in reality he is Faustus; it is the Nazi leader having a major role in the film (modeled on Hermann Göring) who is the true Mephisto.
6 Both the film and Mann's 1936 novel mirror the career of Mann's brother-in-law, Gustaf Gründgens, who is considered by many to have supported the Nazi Party and abandoned his previous political views for personal gain rather than conscience.
7 (Playing Mephisto was indeed the peak of Gründgens' career, though in reality this was long after the fall of the Nazis.)
8 However, Mann's book is satirical, making Höfgen more a lampoon than a character in his own right, while the film offers a more realistic exploration of a flawed but recognisably human character.

1 The Queen (film)
2 The Queen is a 2006 British drama film that depicts the aftermath of the death of Diana, Princess of Wales, on 31 August 1997.
3 The film was directed by Stephen Frears, written by Peter Morgan, and starred Helen Mirren in the title role of Queen Elizabeth II.
4 The Royal Family regards Diana's death as a private affair and thus not to be treated as an official Royal death.
5 This is in contrast with the views of Tony Blair and Diana's ex-husband, Prince Charles, who favour the general public's desire for an official expression of grief.
6 Matters are further complicated by the media, royal protocol regarding Diana's official status, and wider issues about Republicanism.
7 The film's release coincided with a revival of favourable public sentiment in respect to the monarchy and a downturn in fortunes for Blair, whose resignation came several months later.
8 Michael Sheen reprised his role as Blair from "The Deal", and he did so again in "The Special Relationship".
9 The film garnered general critical and popular acclaim for Mirren, for which she swept almost every Best Actress award of the awards season of the year.
10 Mirren was also praised by the Queen herself and was invited to dinner at Buckingham Palace after the film's release.

1 The Picture of Dorian Gray
2 The Picture of Dorian Gray (1891), by Oscar Wilde, was first published as a serial story in the July 1890 issue of "Lippincott's Monthly Magazine".
3 As submitted by Wilde to the magazine, the editors feared the story was indecent, and deleted five hundred words before publication — without Wilde’s knowledge.
4 Despite that censorship, "The Picture of Dorian Gray" offended the moral sensibilities of British book reviewers, some of whom said that Oscar Wilde merited prosecution for violating the laws guarding the public morality.
5 In response, Wilde aggressively defended his novel and art in correspondence with the British press.
6 Wilde revised and expanded the magazine edition of "The Picture of Dorian Gray" (1890) for publication as a novel; the book edition (1891) featured an aphoristic preface — an apologia about the art of the novel and the reader.
7 The content, style, and presentation of the preface made it famous in its own literary right, as social and cultural criticism.
8 In April 1891, the editorial house Ward, Lock and Company published the revised version of "The Picture of Dorian Gray".
9 The only novel written by the playwright Oscar Wilde, "The Picture of Dorian Gray" exists in two versions, the 1891 book edition and the 1890 magazine edition, the story he submitted for serial publication in "Lippincott's Monthly Magazine".
10 As literature of the 19th century, "The Picture of Dorian Gray" is an example of Gothic fiction with strong themes interpreted from the legendary "Faust".

6 The decision to cast Topol, instead of Zero Mostel, as Tevye was a somewhat controversial one, as the role had originated with Mostel and he had made it famous.
7 Years later, Jewison explained that he felt Mostel's larger-than-life personality, while fine on stage, would cause film audiences to see him (i.e., Zero Mostel, the actor) rather than the character of Tevye.
8 The film centers on the Tevye family, a Jewish family living in the town of Anatevka, in Russian Empire, in 1905.
9 Anatevka is broken into two sections: a small Orthodox Jewish section; and a larger Russian Orthodox Christian section.

12 Much of the story is also told in musical form.
13 Tevye is not wealthy, despite working hard, like most Jews in Anatevka, and also due to having many children.
14 He and his sharp tongued wife, Golde, have five daughters and cannot afford to give them much in the way of dowries.
15 According to their tradition, they have to rely on the village matchmaker, Yente, to find them husbands.
16 Life in the little town of Anatevka is very hard and Tevye speaks not only of the difficulties of being poor but also of the Jewish community's constant fear of harassment from their non-Jewish neighbors.
17 In addition, Tevye has a lame horse, that adds to the misery of being poor, and has to pull the wagon by himself.

3 The film is a sequel to Zombie's 2007 reboot of the "Halloween" film series, and the tenth installment of the franchise.

5 The film sees the return of lead cast members Malcolm McDowell, Scout Taylor-Compton, and Tyler Mane, who portray Dr. Loomis, Laurie Strode, and Michael Myers in the 2007 film, respectively.
6 For "Halloween II", Zombie decided to focus more on the connection between Laurie and Michael, and the idea they share similar psychological problems.
7 Zombie wanted the sequel to be more realistic and violent than its 2007 predecessor.
8 For the characters of "Halloween II", it is about change.
9 Zombie wanted to look at how the events of the first film affected the characters.
10 Zombie also wanted to show the connection between Laurie and Michael, and provide a glimpse into each character's psyche.
11 Filming primarily took place in Georgia, which provided Zombie with a tax incentive as well as the visual look the director was going for with the film.
12 When it came time to provide a musical score, Zombie had trouble finding a place to include John Carpenter's original "Halloween" theme music.
13 Although Carpenter's theme was used throughout Zombie's 2007 film, the theme was only included in the final shot of this film.
14 "Halloween II" was officially released on August 28, 2009 in North America, and was met with a negative reception from critics.

1 Jud Süß (1940 film)
2 (, "Süss the Jew") is a 1940 Nazi propaganda film produced by Terra Filmkunst at the behest of Joseph Goebbels, and considered one of the most antisemitic films of all time.
3 The movie was directed by Veit Harlan, who wrote the screenplay with Eberhard Wolfgang Möller and Ludwig Metzger.
4 The leading roles were played by Ferdinand Marian and Harlan's wife Kristina Söderbaum; Werner Krauss and Heinrich George played key supporting roles.
5 The film has been characterized as "one of the most notorious and successful pieces of antisemitic film propaganda produced in Nazi Germany."
6 It was a great success in Germany, with some 20 million viewers.
7 Although the film's budget of 2 million Reichsmarks was considered high for films of that era, the box-office receipts of 6.5 million Reichsmarks made it a financial success.
8 Heinrich Himmler urged members of the SS and police to watch the movie.
9 After the war, some of the leading cast members were brought to trial as part of the denazification process.
10 They generally defended their participation in the film on the grounds that they had only done so under duress.
11 Despite significant evidence to support their arguments, Susan Tegel, author of "Nazis and the Cinema", characterizes their postwar attempts to distance themselves from the film as "crass and self-serving".
12 However, she concedes that their motives for accepting the roles seem to have been more driven by opportunistic ambition than by antisemitism.
13 Veit Harlan was the only major movie director of the Third Reich to stand trial for "crimes against humanity".
14 After three trials, Harlan was given a light sentence because he convinced the courts that the antisemitic content of the film had been dictated by Goebbels and that Harlan had worked to moderate the antisemitism.
15 Eventually, Harlan was reinstated as a citizen of the Federal Republic of Germany and went on to make nine more films.
16 He remained a controversial figure and the target of protests.
17 Although some have dismissed the film as cheap propaganda, others have pointed to Harlan's talent as a director as one of the significant contributing factors to the film's box-office success.
18 Together with "Die Rothschilds" and "Der ewige Jude", both released in 1940, the film remains one of the most frequently discussed examples of the use of film to further the Nazi antisemitic agenda.
19 In 2010, two documentary films were released that explore the history and impact of this movie.

7 Kenji must repair the damage done to it and find a way to stop the rogue computer program from causing any further damage.
8 After producing "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time", Madhouse was asked to produce the next film.
9 Hosoda and writer Satoko Okudera conceived a story about a social network and a stranger's connection with a family.
10 The real-life city of Ueda was chosen as the setting for "Summer Wars", as part of the territory was once governed by the Sanada clan and was close to Hosoda's birthplace in Toyama.
11 Hosoda used the clan as the basis for the Jinnouchi family after visiting his then-fiancé's home in Ueda.
12 Production of "Summer Wars" commenced in 2006.
13 Art director Youji Takeshige incorporated Japanese houses into his background designs.
14 Hosoda also insisted that 80 family members were to be included as main characters.

3 Having been created in 1955 by Jim Henson, they are the namesake for the Disney media franchise that encompasses films, television series, music recordings, print publications, and other media associated with "The Muppet Show" characters.
4 Henson once stated that the term "Muppet" had been created as a portmanteau of the words "marionette" and "puppet", but also claimed that it was actually a word he had coined.
5 The Muppets debuted on the television program "Sam and Friends", which aired locally on WRC-TV in Washington, D.C. from 1955 to 1961.
6 After appearing on skits in several late night talk shows and advertising commercials during the 1960s, Henson's Muppets began appearing on "Sesame Street" when that show debuted in 1969.

9 In 2004, The Walt Disney Company purchased the rights to The Muppets (except for the "Sesame Street" characters, which were sold separately to Sesame Workshop, as well as "Fraggle Rock" and other characters retained by The Jim Henson Company), and later formed The Muppets Studio; a division created specifically for managing "The Muppets" franchise.
10 Disney re-branded the franchise beginning in 2008, in anticipation of the seventh film, "The Muppets".

1 The King's Speech
2 The King's Speech is a 2010 British historical drama film directed by Tom Hooper and written by David Seidler.
3 Colin Firth plays King George VI who, to cope with a stammer, sees Lionel Logue, an Australian speech and language therapist played by Geoffrey Rush.
4 The men become friends as they work together, and after his brother abdicates the throne, the new King relies on Logue to help him make his first wartime radio broadcast on Britain's declaration of war on Germany in 1939.
5 Seidler read about George VI's life after overcoming a stuttering condition he endured during his youth.
6 He started writing about the relationship between the monarch and his therapist as early as the 1980s, but at the request of the King's widow, Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, postponed work until her death in 2002.
7 He later rewrote his screenplay for the stage to focus on the essential relationship between the two protagonists.
8 Nine weeks before filming began, Logue's notebooks were discovered and quotations from them were incorporated into the script.
9 Principal photography took place in London and around Britain from November 2009 to January 2010.
10 The opening scenes were filmed at Elland Road, Leeds and Odsal Stadium, Bradford, both locations standing in for the old Wembley Stadium.
11 For indoor scenes, Lancaster House substituted for Buckingham Palace, and Ely Cathedral stood in for Westminster Abbey, while the weaving mill scene was filmed at the Queen Street Mill in Burnley.
12 The cinematography differs from that of other historical dramas: hard light was used to give the story a greater resonance and wider than normal lenses were employed to recreate the King's feelings of constriction.
13 A third technique Hooper employed was the off-centre framing of characters: in his first consultation with Logue, George VI is captured hunched on the side of a couch at the edge of the frame.
14 Released in the United Kingdom on 7 January 2011, "The King's Speech" was a major box office and critical success.
15 Censors initially gave it adult ratings due to profanity, though these were later revised downwards after criticism by the makers and distributors in the UK and some instances of swearing were muted in the US.
16 On a budget of £8 million, it earned over $400 million internationally (£250 million).
17 It was widely praised by film critics for its visual style, art direction, and acting.
18 Other commentators discussed the film's representation of historical detail, especially the reversal of Winston Churchill's opposition to abdication.
19 The film received many awards and nominations, particularly for Colin Firth's performance; his Golden Globe Award for Best Actor was the sole win at that ceremony from seven nominations.
20 "The King's Speech" won seven British Academy Film Awards, including Best Picture, and Best Actor (Firth), Best Supporting Actor (Rush), and Best Supporting Actress (Helena Bonham Carter).
21 The film also won four Academy Awards: Best Picture, Best Director (Hooper), Best Actor (Firth), and Best Original Screenplay (Seidler).

3 Even though the majority of visitors were U.S servicemen, the canteen was open to servicemen of allied countries as well as women in all branches of service.
4 A serviceman's ticket for admission was his uniform, and everything at the canteen was free of charge.

1 The Natural
2 The Natural is a 1952 novel about baseball written by Bernard Malamud.
3 The book follows Roy Hobbs, a baseball prodigy whose career is sidetracked when he is shot by a woman whose motivation remains mysterious.
4 Whether she is acting alone or is part of a plot can be debated.
5 Most of the story concerns itself with his attempts to return to baseball later in life, when he plays for the fictional New York Knights with his legendary bat "Wonderboy".
6 Based upon the bizarre shooting incident and subsequent comeback of Philadelphia Phillies player Eddie Waitkus, the story of Roy Hobbs takes some poetic license and embellishes what was truly a strange, but memorable, account of a career lost too soon.
7 Apart from the fact that both Waitkus and fictional Hobbs were shot by women, there are few if any other similarities.
8 It has been alternately suggested that the shooting incident might have been inspired by Chicago Cubs shortstop Billy Jurges, who was shot by a showgirl with whom he was romantically linked, but there has been no evidence to support this claim.
9 A film adaptation of "The Natural" starring Robert Redford as Roy Hobbs was released in 1984.

4 A significant portion of the film is dedicated to a series of unrelated subplots involving the friends and family of the main characters.
5 "Entertainment Weekly" has called "The Room" "the "Citizen Kane" of bad movies" and a number of notable publications have labeled it as one of the worst films ever made.
6 Originally shown only in a limited number of California theaters, the film quickly developed a cult following as fans found humour in the film's bizarre storytelling and various technical and narrative flaws.
7 Although Wiseau has retroactively characterized the film as a black comedy, audiences have generally viewed it as a poorly made drama, a viewpoint supported by some of the film's cast.
8 Within a decade of its premiere, the film was selling out showings around the United States and had inspired a book and video game.

10 Coincidentally, in one scene, physicist Dr. Elliott Lowell (Donald Hotton) says that the China Syndrome would render "an area the size of Pennsylvania" permanently uninhabitable.
11 The basis for the film came from a number of nuclear plant incidents and in particular the Brown's Ferry Alabama Nuclear Power Plant Fire which occurred four years earlier in 1975.
12 "China Syndrome" is a fanciful term—not intended to be taken literally—that describes a fictional worst-case result of a nuclear meltdown, where reactor components melt through their containment structures and into the underlying earth, "all the way to China."

4 It starts near the end of Oda Nobunaga's reign, with Rikyū serving as tea master to Nobunaga, and continues into the Momoyama Period.
5 Rikyū is portrayed as a man thoroughly dedicated to aesthetics and perfection, especially in relation to the art of tea.
6 While serving as tea master to the new ruler Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Rikyū finds himself in a uniquely privileged position, with constant access to the powerful feudal lord and the theoretical ability to influence policy, yet he studiously avoids deep involvement in politics while attempting to focus his full attention to the study and teachings of the way of tea.
7 To the extent that he expresses himself, he does so diplomatically, in a way to avoid disrupting the harmony of his relationship with Hideyoshi.
8 Yet, as society is changed violently and radically around him, also finding himself the focus of jealousy and misdirected suspicions, Rikyū ultimately can not avoid confronting larger social issues.
9 He is compelled to express an opinion on Hideyoshi's military plans.
10 This one breach of his studied isolation from world affairs leads quickly to tragic consequences.
11 Director Teshigahara, himself a master and teacher of the Japanese traditional art of "ikebana", brings the viewer into appreciation and deep sympathy for Rikyu's aesthetic idealism and his careful diplomatic efforts to avoid excessive entanglement in political affairs.
12 The film itself is very studied in its aestheticism, and very expressive of the shocking force of life intruding into the guarded hermetic space of the artist/idealist.

1 XXY (film)
2 XXY is a 2007 Argentine-Spanish-French drama film written and directed by Lucía Puenzo.
3 Starring Ricardo Darín, Valeria Bertuccelli, Inés Efron, and Martín Piroyansky, the film tells the story of a 15-year-old intersex person, the way her family copes with her condition and the ultimate decision that she must eventually make as she finds her gender identity.
4 "XXY" has received widespread critical acclaim, winning the Critics' Week grand prize at the 2007 Cannes film festival, as well as the ACID/CCAS Support Award.
5 It was nominated for eight awards at the 2008 Argentine Film Critics Association Awards, winning three of them including Best Film, and was nominated or won awards at a number of other foreign film festivals.

7 The film also won the Goya Award for Best Spanish Language Foreign Film.
8 The film has caused some controversy among members of the intersex community.
9 At first sight, the film's title appears to be a reference to Klinefelter syndrome, also known as XXY syndrome, a condition in which males have an extra X sex chromosome.
10 This would be highly misleading, as the character is referred to as being "intersex" and has female and male genitalia.
11 Those affected with Klinefelter's syndrome often do not show symptoms and are not aware of their condition, which is incongruous to the condition portrayed in this film.

1 Enlightenment Guaranteed
2 Erleuchtung garantiert ("Enlightenment Guaranteed") is a 2002 German film directed by Doris Dörrie about two brothers, Uwe (Uwe Ochsenknecht) and Gustav (Gustav-Peter Wöhler), who travel to Japan to sort out the mess of their lives.
3 Their plan is to visit the Sojiji Monastery in Monzen, near Tokyo.
4 On their way there, in a rather literal Buddhist moment, they lose all of their belongings.
5 When they at last make it to the monastery, they find that even there, enlightenment can be elusive.
6 The first lesson of the Buddha is that "life is suffering".
7 At the beginning of the film, we are taken into the troubled lives of the two brothers.
8 Both men are experiencing a mid life crisis of their own that will ultimately bring them closer together.
9 With four young children, Uwe and his wife Petra have their plates full.
10 Lacking compassion for each other's burdens, they constantly are bickering.
11 After a particularly stressful morning of playing children bright and early (and waking the couple's infant daughter who had kept Petra up most of the night), Uwe is particularly disrespectful to his wife.
12 While he is at work as a real estate agent of sorts, his wife packs up most of their belongings and moves out.
13 Uwe finds a note when he comes home and is immediately distressed to tears.
14 Meanwhile, his brother Gustav is having troubles of his own.
15 Unlike his brother (who is the type to smoke a cigarette after going jogging), Gustav is a Zen Buddhist enthusiast.
16 His burdens are internal; he is afraid of making mistakes and also afraid of fear itself.
17 He has been planning a trip to a monastery in Monzen (near Tokyo) to find himself.
18 Uwe, in a great state of distress (and drunk), asks his brother to take him along.
19 After much hesitation, Gustav buys his brother a ticket and the adventure really begins.
20 This film could almost be a sequel to "Men...", Dörrie's landmark 1980s film with the same starring actors (albeit as different characters) and a similar existential storyline, and was sometimes billed as such.

1 Howard the Duck
2 Howard the Duck is a comic book character in the Marvel Comics universe created by writer Steve Gerber and artist Val Mayerik.
3 The character first appeared in "Adventure into Fear" #19 (Dec. 1973) and several subsequent series have chronicled the misadventures of the ill-tempered, anthropomorphic, "funny animal" trapped on human-dominated Earth.
4 Howard's adventures are generally social satires, while a few are parodies of genre fiction with a metafictional awareness of the medium.
5 The book is existentialist, and its main joke, according to Gerber, is that there is no joke: "that life's most serious moments and most incredibly dumb moments are often distinguishable only by a momentary point of view."
6 This is diametrically opposed to screenwriter Gloria Katz, who in adapting the comic to the screen declared, "It's a film about a duck from outer space... It's not supposed to be an existential experience".
7 He was portrayed by Ed Gale and voiced by Chip Zien in the 1986 film "Howard the Duck".

5 The Angel Levine was poorly received when it was first released, with Roger Greenspun of the "New York Times" stating that "given the reputations of the talents involved, [the film is] a failure of major proportions.
6 I have seen worse movies.
7 But I cannot remember having seen a movie so nervously at odds with itself, so timid in its impulses, and so mistaken in its choices."
8 When the film was released on DVD in 2002, Glenn Erickson of DVD Talk commented: ""The Angel Levine" is one of dozens of interesting movies in the United Artists library that seem to have been created for the purpose of being obscure.”

4 Due to the public backlash against musical films (beginning in the latter part of the summer of 1930), all musical numbers were discarded before release.

1 Romeo and Juliet
2 Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare early in his career about two young star-crossed lovers whose deaths ultimately reconcile their feuding families.
3 It was among Shakespeare's most popular plays during his lifetime and, along with "Hamlet", is one of his most frequently performed plays.
4 Today, the title characters are regarded as archetypal young lovers.
5 "Romeo and Juliet" belongs to a tradition of tragic romances stretching back to antiquity.
6 Its plot is based on an Italian tale, translated into verse as "The Tragical History of Romeus and Juliet" by Arthur Brooke in 1562 and retold in prose in "Palace of Pleasure" by William Painter in 1567.
7 Shakespeare borrowed heavily from both but, to expand the plot, developed supporting characters, particularly Mercutio and Paris.
8 Believed to have been written between 1591 and 1595, the play was first published in a quarto version in 1597.
9 This text was of poor quality, and later editions corrected it, bringing it more in line with Shakespeare's original.
10 Shakespeare's use of his poetic dramatic structure, especially effects such as switching between comedy and tragedy to heighten tension, his expansion of minor characters, and his use of sub-plots to embellish the story, has been praised as an early sign of his dramatic skill.
11 The play ascribes different poetic forms to different characters, sometimes changing the form as the character develops.
12 Romeo, for example, grows more adept at the sonnet over the course of the play.
13 "Romeo and Juliet" has been adapted numerous times for stage, film, musical and opera.
14 During the English Restoration, it was revived and heavily revised by William Davenant.
15 David Garrick's 18th-century version also modified several scenes, removing material then considered indecent, and Georg Benda's operatic adaptation omitted much of the action and added a happy ending.
16 Performances in the 19th century, including Charlotte Cushman's, restored the original text, and focused on greater realism.
17 John Gielgud's 1935 version kept very close to Shakespeare's text, and used Elizabethan costumes and staging to enhance the drama.
18 In the 20th and into the 21st century, the play has been adapted in versions as diverse as George Cukor's comparatively faithful 1936 production, Franco Zeffirelli's 1968 version, Baz Luhrmann's 1996 MTV-inspired "Romeo + Juliet" and the 2013 non-Shakespearian adaptation by .

1 BURN-E

5 "WALL-E"s director Andrew Stanton acted as co-writer and executive producer on "BURN-E".
6 "BURN-E" was produced at the same time as "WALL-E" and was directed by the feature film's lead animator, Angus MacLane.
7 The short movie is included as bonus material to the DVD and Blu-ray releases of "WALL-E" and has since also been aired on TV.
8 "BURN-E" features music composed and conducted by J.A.C. Redford, who was also orchestrator on the film "WALL-E".
9 The BURN-E (stands for "Basic Utility Repair Nano Engineer") character is first seen briefly as a welder robot in "WALL-E" when WALL-E and EVE fly around the "Axiom" starliner, and enter through a door, locking him outside of the ship.
10 BURN-E is seen banging his fists against the door, and ultimately realizing that he has been locked out.

3 James Clavell directed and wrote the film's screenplay, based on the semi-autobiographical novel "To Sir, With Love" by E. R. Braithwaite.

5 The film's title song "To Sir With Love", sung by Lulu, reached number one on the U.S. pop charts, and ultimately was "Billboard" magazine's No. 1 pop single for the year, 1967.

1 Cousin Bette
2 La Cousine Bette (, "Cousin Bette") is an 1846 novel by French author Honoré de Balzac.
3 Set in mid-19th century Paris, it tells the story of an unmarried middle-aged woman who plots the destruction of her extended family.
4 Bette works with Valérie Marneffe, an unhappily married young lady, to seduce and torment a series of men.
5 One of these is Baron Hector Hulot, husband to Bette's cousin Adeline.
6 He sacrifices his family's fortune and good name to please Valérie, who leaves him for a tradesman named Crevel.
7 The book is part of the "Scènes de la vie parisienne" section of Balzac's novel sequence "La Comédie humaine" ("The Human Comedy").
8 In the 1840s, a serial format known as the "roman-feuilleton" was highly popular in France, and the most acclaimed expression of it was the socialist writing of Eugène Sue.
9 Balzac wanted to challenge Sue's supremacy, and prove himself the most capable "feuilleton" author in France.
10 Writing quickly and with intense focus, Balzac produced "La Cousine Bette", one of his longest novels, in two months.
11 It was published in "Le Constitutionnel" at the end of 1846, then collected with a companion work, "Le Cousin Pons", the following year.
12 The novel's characters represent polarities of contrasting morality.
13 The vengeful Bette and disingenuous Valérie stand on one side, with the merciful Adeline and her patient daughter Hortense on the other.
14 The patriarch of the Hulot family, meanwhile, is consumed by his own sexual desire.
15 Hortense's husband, the Polish exile Wenceslas Steinbock, represents artistic genius, though he succumbs to uncertainty and lack of motivation.
16 Balzac based the character of Bette in part on his mother and the poet Marceline Desbordes-Valmore.
17 At least one scene involving Baron Hulot was likely based on an event in the life of Balzac's friend, the novelist Victor Hugo.
18 "La Cousine Bette" is considered Balzac's last great work.
19 His trademark use of realist detail combines with a panorama of characters returning from earlier novels.
20 Several critics have hailed it as a turning point in the author's career, and others have called it a prototypical naturalist text.
21 It has been compared to William Shakespeare's "Othello" as well as Leo Tolstoy's "War and Peace".
22 The novel explores themes of vice and virtue, as well as the influence of money on French society.
23 Bette's relationship with Valérie is also seen as an important exploration of homoerotic themes.
24 A number of film versions of the story have been produced, including a 1971 BBC mini-series starring Margaret Tyzack and Dame Helen Mirren, and a 1998 feature film with Jessica Lange in the title role.

3 In the process, Cheney and Ellis examine the role that the increasing production of corn has had for American society, spotlighting the role of government subsidies in encouraging the huge amount of corn grown.
4 The film shows how industrialization in corn has all but eliminated the image of the family farm, which is being replaced by larger industrial farms.
5 Cheney and Ellis suggest that this trend reflects a larger industrialization of the North American food system.
6 As was outlined in the film, decisions relating to what crops are grown and how they are grown are based on government manipulated economic considerations rather than their true economic, environmental, or social ramifications.

2 Lost in the Desert, initially released as Dirkie, is a South African film from 1969/1970, written and directed by Jamie Uys, who also directed the better-known "The Gods Must Be Crazy".

4 Wynand Uys is Jamie Uys's son in real life as well as in the acted roles in the film.
5 Some sources, such as lists of film credits and advertising posters, gave Jamie Uys's name as Jamie Hayes (in both roles, as director and actor of Anton Hayes' part), and also gave Wynand Uys's name as Dirkie Hayes, thus making the boy actor's name appear to be the same as the part he is acting.
6 However, the DVD re-issue gives the real names.
7 There is also disagreement amongst these sources about whether the English-language version appeared in 1969 or 1970.
8 This discrepancy may possibly be due to different release dates in different English-speaking countries, although complete certainty about this does not seem to be available.

1 Dorian Gray (1970 film)
2 Dorian Gray is a 1970 movie adaptation of Oscar Wilde's novel "The Picture of Dorian Gray" starring Helmut Berger.
3 Directed by Massimo Dallamano, the film stresses the decadence and eroticism of the story and changes the setting to early 1970s London.
4 The sexual liberation of the late 1960s and early 1970s provides a fitting backdrop for Dorian's escapades in this version, and also the general clothing and fashion style of the era is extrapolated into a 1970s version of the aesthetic, decadent world of the 1890s novel.
5 Critical opinion of the film is decidedly mixed.
6 On the one hand, some consider the film trash and sexploitation, while others point out that the film was shot at a unique time in the 20th century when a new openness about sexuality and its depiction on film allowed showing scenes only vaguely hinted at in the novel and earlier (and also later) movie adaptations.
7 A marked difference between this version and the novel is the final scene.
8 Instead of Dorian slicing the painting with the knife (thereby inadvertently killing himself), he is seen committing suicide with the knife deliberately.

5 Influenced by this movie, wingsuits gained a prominent resurgence in the 21st century.

8 Deborah Kerr was renewing her association with Lancaster from their previous work in "From Here to Eternity" and "Separate Tables".

1 Let the Right One In (film)
2 Let the Right One In () is a 2008 Swedish romantic horror film directed by Tomas Alfredson.
3 Based on the 2004 novel of the same title by John Ajvide Lindqvist, who also wrote the screenplay.
4 The film tells the story of a bullied 12-year-old boy who develops a friendship with a vampire child in Blackeberg, a suburb of Stockholm, in the early 1980s.
5 Alfredson, unconcerned with the horror and vampire conventions, decided to tone down many elements of the novel and focus primarily on the relationship between the two main characters.
6 Selecting the lead actors involved a year-long process with open castings held all over Sweden.
7 In the end, then 11-year-olds Kåre Hedebrant and Lina Leandersson were chosen for the leading roles.
8 They were subsequently commended by both Alfredson and film reviewers for their performances.
9 The film received widespread international critical acclaim and won numerous awards, including the "Founders Award for Best Narrative Feature" at the 2008 Tribeca Film Festival and the European Fantastic Film Festivals Federation's 2008 Méliès d'Or (Golden Méliès) for the "Best European Fantastic Feature Film", as well as four Guldbagge Awards from the Swedish Film Institute and the Saturn Award for Best International Film.

1 The Big Blue
2 The Big Blue (released in some countries under the French title Le Grand Bleu) is a 1988 English-language film in the French "Cinéma du look" visual style, made by French director Luc Besson.
3 The film is a heavily fictionalized and dramatized story of the friendship and sporting rivalry between two leading contemporary champion free divers in the 20th century: Jacques Mayol (played by Jean-Marc Barr) and Enzo Maiorca (renamed to "Enzo Molinari" and played by Jean Reno), and Mayol's fictionalized relationship with girlfriend Johana Baker (played by Rosanna Arquette).
4 The film, which covers their childhood in 1960s Greece to their deaths in a Sicilian diving competition at around 400 feet in a 1980s competition, is a cult-classic in the diving fraternity, and became one of France's most commercially successful movies (although an adaptation for US release was a commercial failure in that country).
5 President of France, Jacques Chirac, referred to the film in describing Mayol, after his death in 2001, as having been an enduring symbol for the "Big Blue" generation.
6 The story was heavily adapted for cinema - in real life Mayol lived from 1927 to 2001 and Maiorca retired from diving to politics in the 1980s.
7 Both set no-limits category deep diving records below 100 metres, and Mayol was indeed involved in scientific research into human aquatic potential, but neither reached 400 feet (122 metres) as portrayed in the film, and they were not direct competitors.
8 Mayol himself was a screenwriter for the film, and Mayol's search for love, family, "wholeness" and the meaning of life and death, and the conflict and tension between his yearning for the deep, and his relationship with his girlfriend, also form part of the backdrop for the latter part of the film.

2 Westfront 1918 () is a German film, set mostly in the trenches of the Western Front during World War I.

4 It featured an ensemble cast led by screen veterans Fritz Kampers and Gustav Diessl; Diessl had been a prisoner of war for a year during the war.
5 The film bears resemblance to its close contemporary, the "All Quiet on the Western Front" (1930), an American production, although it has a bleaker tone consistent with Pabst's New Objectivity work through the late 1920s.
6 It was particularly pioneering in its early use of sound—it was Pabst's first "talkie"—in that Pabst managed to record live audio during complex tracking shots through the trenches.
7 "Westfront 1918" was a critical success when it was released, although it was often shown in truncated form.
8 With the rise of National Socialism, the film quickly became considered by the German authorities as unsuitable for the people, notably for its obvious pacifism, and for its clear denunciation of war.
9 This was an attitude that propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels would soon label as "cowardly defeatism".
10 Some shots from the film were used for scene-setting purposes in a 1937 BBC Television adaptation of the play "Journey's End".

1 War Comes to America
2 War Comes to America is the seventh and final film of Frank Capra's "Why We Fight" World War II propaganda film series.
3 The early part of the film is an idealized version of American history which includes mention of the first settlements, the American Revolutionary War (omitting the American Civil War), and the ethnic diversity of America.
4 It lists 22 immigrant nationalities, 19 of them European, and uses the then-current terms "Negro", "Jap", and "Chinaman".
5 This section of the film concludes with a lengthy paean to American inventiveness, economic abundance, and social ideals.
6 The run-up to World War II is then described, beginning in 1931 with the Japanese invasion of Manchuria.
7 The film examines how American public opinion gradually changed from one of isolationism to one of support for the Allied cause, and demonstrates this using a series of Gallup polls.
8 In 1936, public opinion is firmly isolationist, with 95% of Americans answering NO to the question "If another world war develops in Europe, should America take part again?"
9 Congress responded with an arms embargo and a "Cash and carry rule" when trading with belligerents in raw materials.
10 In September 1937, the question "In the current fight between Japan and China, are your sympathies with either side?"
11 is answered CHINA 43%, JAPAN 2%, UNDECIDED 55%, while in June 1939 the same question gives a 74% vote for China.
12 Anti-Japanese sentiment thus forced the US government to block trade in oil and scrap iron with Japan.
13 In October 1939, 82% of Americans blame Germany for starting the war in Europe, while in January 1941, after the Fall of France, and also the founding of the Tripartite Pact, which was clearly aimed against the United States, the question "Should we keep out of war, or aid Britain, even at the risk of war?"
14 , AID BRITAIN got 68% of the vote.
15 This increase in pro-Allied sentiment triggers Lend Lease aid to Britain (and to the Soviet Union after it is attacked by Germany).
16 Towards the end the film argues in detail (to a backdrop of animated maps and diagrams) that American involvement in the war was essential in terms of self-defense.
17 The dire consequences for the United States of an Axis victory in Eurasia are spelled out:

1 The Importance of Being Earnest
2 The Importance of Being Earnest, A Trivial Comedy for Serious People is a play by Oscar Wilde.
3 First performed on 14 February 1895 at the St James's Theatre in London, it is a farcical comedy in which the protagonists maintain fictitious personæ to escape burdensome social obligations.
4 Working within the social conventions of late Victorian London, the play's major themes are the triviality with which it treats institutions as serious as marriage, and the resulting satire of Victorian ways.
5 Contemporary reviews all praised the play's humour, though some were cautious about its explicit lack of social messages, while others foresaw the modern consensus that it was the culmination of Wilde's artistic career so far.
6 Its high farce and witty dialogue have helped make "The Importance of Being Earnest" Wilde's most enduringly popular play.
7 The successful opening night marked the climax of Wilde's career but also heralded his downfall.
8 The Marquess of Queensberry, whose son Lord Alfred Douglas was Wilde's lover, planned to present the writer with a bouquet of rotten vegetables and disrupt the show.
9 Wilde was tipped off and Queensberry was refused admission.
10 Soon afterwards their feud came to a climax in court, where Wilde's homosexual double life was revealed to the Victorian public and he was eventually sentenced to imprisonment.
11 His notoriety caused the play, despite its early success, to be closed after 86 performances.
12 After his release, he published the play from exile in Paris, but he wrote no further comic or dramatic work.
13 "The Importance of Being Earnest" has been revived many times since its premiere.
14 It has been adapted for the cinema on three occasions.
15 In "The Importance of Being Earnest" (1952), Dame Edith Evans reprised her celebrated interpretation of Lady Bracknell; "The Importance of Being Earnest" (1992) by Kurt Baker used an all-black cast; and Oliver Parker's "The Importance of Being Earnest" (2002) incorporated some of Wilde's original material cut during the preparation of the original stage production.

2 Anne Frank Remembered is a 1995 documentary film by Jon Blair about the life of the diarist Anne Frank.
3 The documentary was made in association with Anne Frank House, Walt Disney Pictures and the British Broadcasting Corporation.
4 It was originally screened as a TV documentary, but was later given a theatrical release by Sony Pictures.
5 The film is narrated by Kenneth Branagh and extracts from Frank's diary are read by Glenn Close.
6 The choice of an adult reader is unusual in representations of Anne Frank; Blair has explained that he read Frank's diary as a child, and had a very clear image of what she was like, and found that the use of children's voices robbed the viewer of their own impression of Anne Frank.
7 Miep Gies, the woman who had helped shelter the family, and who had saved the diary after the group was betrayed, collaborated with Blair and is interviewed about her memories of hiding the Frank family.
8 Blair also uses interviews with Hanneli Goslar and Jaqueline van Maarsen, two of Anne Frank's friends, and notably uses archive interviews of Otto Frank to retell Anne's story.
9 The film also records the first meeting between Miep Gies and Werner Peter Pfeffer, the son of Fritz Pfeffer ("Albert Dussel" in the "Diary"), who died 2 months after the filming.
10 In a moving scene, filmed as it happened, a tearful Pfeffer offers "Vielen Dank" ("many thanks") to Gies for her efforts to save his father.
11 Blair filmed in the real locations of Frank's life; including the neighbourhood Anne grew up in, the "Achterhuis" of Prinsengracht 263 (where she and her family lived in hiding) in Amsterdam, and the Westerbork and Auschwitz Concentration Camps.
12 Blair commented that Auschwitz had been filmed a number of times, for many reasons, however he wanted to suggest something of the "ghosts" of the people that had passed through there, and so he determined that the only way to do this would be to film at night.
13 He was also able to obtain a train similar to those used during World War II to recreate the scenes of people being transported to Auschwitz.
14 As the film was made in association with Anne Frank House, it was able to include the only known film footage taken of Anne Frank.
15 The short film was made in 1941 of a wedding in the Amsterdam suburb where the Frank family lived.
16 The camera cuts for just seven seconds to a balcony, where Anne Frank stands watching the bride and groom on the footpath below.
17 The film won an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature in 1996.
18 The award was jointly collected by Jon Blair and Miep Gies, who received a standing ovation.

5 On VHS releases, it was retitled The Night Dracula Saved the World.
6 It premiered on ABC and was shot at Lyndhurst in Tarrytown, New York.
7 After hearing rumors from a TV newscaster (portrayed by Andrew Duncan) that Halloween may end and that he is being blamed, Dracula exclaims, "How dare they suggest such a thing?
8 Halloween is my national holiday!"
9 and he calls the world's most famous monsters - Warren the Werewolf aka Wolf Man (Jack Riley) of Budapest, the Mummy of Egypt (Robert Fitch), Frankenstein's monster (John Schuck), Zabaar the Zombie (Josip Elic) of Haiti, and the Witch - to his castle to make them scary again.
10 Dracula believes that the problem is that the monsters have "exploited their monsterhood" to the point of being funny rather than scary, for example, Frankenstein's monster has let a movie influence him into tapdancing rather than scaring people.
11 As it turns out, the rumor about Halloween coming to an end was started by the Witch herself; sick of jokes about how ugly she is, she no longer wishes to participate, and without her annual ride over the moon, there can be no Halloween.
12 She has prepared a list of demands, which Dracula refuses to meet, so she rides off to her own castle.
13 Dracula pursues the Witch as a bat but realizes that the sun is about to come up and he goes back into his mausoleum.
14 The next night, on the eve of Halloween, he and the other monsters break in to the Witch's castle.
15 They have her cornered but she turns a painting of the Three Musketeers into minions.
16 After a brief chase scene using The Munsters-style fast motion, the Witch is cornered in a room while Igor (Henry Gibson) has her broom.
17 Dracula turns into a bat again to sneak under the door but gets smashed by the Witch and comes back; Igor tries climbing on a ledge and swinging into the room through a window Hunchback of Notre Dame-style, only to have the Witch open the door so he goes right back outside.
18 "It's one of those days I wish I was dead," Dracula declares.
19 "And stayed dead."
20 Although Dracula finally gives in to the Witch's demands (including a randomly added wish for him to take her disco dancing every year), she suddenly changes her mind and decides not to go along.
21 Then a pair of children who were watching the newscast of the events on TV appear outside the door, one dressed as the Witch, and plead with her, telling her they love her the way she is.
22 Moved by the children, she does her ride over the moon as promised.
23 The film concludes with a disco scene where the Witch transforms into a disco queen resembling Stephanie Mangano by doing a Wonder Woman-style spin and Dracula, figuring he may as well go with the flow, rips off his costume to reveal a Tony Manero-esque leisure suit influenced by "Saturday Night Fever".
24 Following its debut in 1979, the movie aired regularly as part of the Disney's Halloween Treat/A Disney Halloween special until the 1990s when that block was replaced.
25 Though it was released on VHS, it has never been released on DVD.

4 The picture was shot in Technicolor and VistaVision, takes place during the War of 1812, and tells a heavily fictionalized version of how the privateer Lafitte helped in the Battle of New Orleans and how he had to choose between fighting for America or for the side most likely to win, the United Kingdom.
5 The film is a remake of the 1938 film of the same name which starred Fredric March and Akim Tamiroff (Boyer played Tamiroff's role in the remake).
6 The 1938 version was produced and directed by Cecil B. DeMille, but he was seriously ill by the time the 1958 version was made, so he was only the executive producer on that version, leaving his then son-in-law, Anthony Quinn, to direct.
7 It was the only film that Quinn ever directed.
8 Henry Wilcoxon, DeMille's long-time friend, who made frequent appearances in his films, was the actual producer, and DeMille did not receive screen credit, though students of his films would probably say that his touch is obvious throughout the film.
9 Nevertheless, DeMille was unhappy with the film and tried unsuccessfully to improve it; critical response was generally unfavorable, despite some impressive battle scenes.
10 The movie's supporting cast features Inger Stevens, Henry Hull, E. G. Marshall, Lorne Greene, Ted de Corsia, Ed Hinton and Douglass Dumbrille.
11 Possibly as a film tie-in, Johnny Horton had a big success at the time with his version of "The Battle of New Orleans".

3 It stars Marilyn Burns, Paul A. Partain, Edwin Neal, Jim Siedow and Gunnar Hansen, who respectively portray Sally Hardesty, Franklin Hardesty, the hitchhiker, the proprietor and Leatherface, the main antagonist.
4 The film follows a group of friends who fall victim to a family of cannibals while on their way to visit an old homestead.
5 Although it was marketed as a true story to attract a wider audience and as a subtle commentary on the era's political climate, its plot is entirely fictional; however the character of Leatherface and minor plot details were inspired by the crimes of real-life murderer Ed Gein.
6 Hooper produced the film for less than $300,000 and used a cast of relatively unknown actors drawn mainly from central Texas, where the film was shot.
7 The limited budget forced Hooper to film for long hours seven days a week, so that he could finish as quickly as possible and reduce equipment rental costs.
8 Due to the film's violent content, Hooper struggled to find a distributor.
9 Louis Perano of Bryanston Pictures eventually purchased the distribution rights.
10 Hooper limited the quantity of onscreen gore in hopes of securing a 'PG' rating, but the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) rated it 'R'.
11 The film faced similar difficulties internationally.
12 Upon its October 1974 release, "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre" was banned outright in several countries, and numerous theaters later stopped showing the film in response to complaints about its violence.
13 While it initially drew a mixed reception from critics, it was enormously profitable, grossing over $30 million at the domestic box office.
14 It has since gained a reputation as one of the best horror films in cinema history.
15 It is credited with originating several elements common in the slasher genre, including the use of power tools as murder weapons and the characterization of the killer as a large, hulking, faceless figure.
16 The popularity of the film led to a franchise that continued the story of Leatherface and his family through sequels, remakes, one prequel, comic books and video games.

4 The film was directed by Tony Richardson, one of the new young directors emerging from documentary films, specifically a series of 1950s filmmakers known as the Free Cinema movement.
5 It tells the story of "a rebellious youth" (played by Tom Courtenay), sentenced to a borstal (boys' reformatory) for robbing a bakery, who rises through the ranks of the institution through his prowess as a long-distance runner.
6 During his solitary runs, reveries of his life and times before his incarceration lead him to re-evaluate his privileged status as the Governor's (played by Michael Redgrave) prize runner.
7 Set in a grim environment of early-1960s Britain and like other films which deal with rebellious youth, it is a story of how the youth chooses to defy authority, in so doing securing his self-esteem (at the probable personal cost of continued confinement).
8 The film places its characters thoroughly in their social milieu.
9 Class consciousness abounds throughout: the "them" and "us" notions which Richardson shows reflect the very basis of British society at the time, so that Redgrave's "proper gentleman" of a Governor is in contrast to many of the young working-class inmates.
10 Much of the filming took place in and around Claygate, Surrey at Ruxley Towers, a Victorian mock castle built by Lord Foley (hence Ruxton Towers).
11 The building had been used as a NAAFI base in the war, giving it a military atmosphere.

13 The film was heavily sampled in the Chumbawamba song "Alright Now", and text from the book upon which the film is based formed the cover of their single "Just Look at Me Now" (a monologue starts in plain grey typeface on the front and another appears on the back).

1 Winter Kills (film)
2 Winter Kills is a 1979 film, directed by William Richert, based on the novel by Richard Condon.
3 Its cast includes Jeff Bridges, John Huston, Anthony Perkins, Eli Wallach, Richard Boone, Toshirō Mifune, Sterling Hayden, Dorothy Malone, Ralph Meeker, Elizabeth Taylor, Berry Berenson and Susan Walden.
4 Most of the film was lensed by cinematographer Vilmos Zsigmond, and the production designer was Robert Boyle, who cited the film as one of his favorites.
5 The director, however, was a relative novice named William Richert.
6 The production went so far over budget that it was shut down three times and declared bankruptcy.
7 The film had been produced by two wealthy marijuana dealers — Robert Sterling and Leonard Goldberg.
8 Goldberg was murdered by the mafia in the middle of production, for failure to pay his debts, and Sterling was later sentenced to 40 years in prison for marijuana smuggling.
9 Richert and much of the cast went to Germany and filmed a comedy called "The American Success Company" which made enough money to fund a resumption of "Winter Kills" two years later.
10 Influential publications including the "New York Times", "Newsweek", and the "New Yorker" gave positive reviews, but it made little money when released.
11 Condon and Richert hypothesized that distributor Embassy Pictures killed it deliberately in order to avoid threatening defense contracts elsewhere within the conglomerate.
12 A later release (and distribution to video) fared better, and included scenes not shown on screen, with additional footage by Elizabeth Taylor.
13 The film simplifies the plot of the book somewhat, and emphasizes humor.
14 It follows the events surrounding the assassination of President Kegan (patterned after John F. Kennedy).
15 Several years later, the President's brother Nick (Bridges) discovers leads which suggest there may have been a plot to kill the Chief Executive.
16 The ending of the movie is ambiguous, leaving it unclear whether President Kegan had been killed by his father (Huston), or the father's assistant, John Cerruti (Perkins).
17 Many of the film's interior scenes were shot in 1977 at the Greystone Mansion in Beverly Hills, then home to the American Film Institute's film school.

5 They are linked by a run-down flophouse overseen by a night clerk (played by Screamin' Jay Hawkins) and his dishevelled bellboy (Cinqué Lee), a scene featuring Elvis Presley's "Blue Moon", and a gunshot.
6 The starting point for the script was the ensemble cast of friends and previous collaborators Jarmusch had conceived characters for, while the tripartite formal structure of the film was inspired by his study of literary forms.
7 Cinematographer Robby Müller and musician John Lurie were among the many contributors who had been involved in earlier Jarmusch projects and returned to work on the film.
8 "Mystery Train"s US$2.8 million budget (financed by Japanese conglomerate JVC) was considerable compared to what the director had enjoyed before, and allowed him the freedom to rehearse many unscripted background scenes.
9 It was the first of Jarmusch's feature films to depart from his trademark black-and-white photography, though the use of color was tightly controlled to conform with the director's intuitive sense of the film's aesthetic.
10 "Mystery Train" was released theatrically by Orion Classics under a restricted rating in the United States, where it grossed over $1.5 million.
11 It enjoyed critical acclaim on the film festival circuit, and like the director's earlier films premiered at the New York Film Festival and was shown in competition at Cannes, where Jarmusch was awarded the Best Artistic Achievement Award.

1 Camino (film)
2 Camino is a 2008 Spanish film directed by Javier Fesser.
3 The film is based on the real story of Alexia González-Barros, a girl who died from spinal cancer at fourteen in 1985 and is currently in process of canonization.
4 The film is controversial because Alexia's siblings said it was a distortion of the girl's history.
5 They also objected to Fesser's use of Alexia's full name in his dedication, despite him having undertaken not to directly identify her.
6 He calls her Camino ('the way') in the film, referencing 'the way' to sainthood she apparently undergoes.
7 Camino's elder sister is an Opus Dei acolyte, deliberately kept from contacting her family.
8 Suppressing open signs of normal maternal grief, the mother seems almost inhuman in urging her dying daughter to 'offer up' her suffering for Jesus.
9 The father struggles to protect his daughter from a concerted effort to canonise her (even before her death) by his wife, elder daughter, and Opus Dei officials.
10 Even the hospital medical staff seem to be complicit in this.
11 Opus Dei said the film was "biased and false" in its presentation of the "attitudes, sentiments and intentions" of the organization's members.
12 In a subversive irony, Fesser suggests that Camino's 'Jesus', whose name she invokes, is not Christ, but a teenage boy named Jesus (a common name in Spain and other Spanish speaking countries) on whom Camino has a normal schoolgirl crush.
13 This is shown in dream sequences she experiences throughout the film.
14 The film won six Goya Awards, including best picture, best director, and best original screenplay.
15 In reaction to the film, director Pedro Delgado in 2011 released a documentary about the life of Alexia González-Barros, including video footage from her family's archives.

4 It stars Jeanne Moreau and Maurice Ronet as criminal lovers whose perfect crime begins to unravel when Ronet is trapped in an elevator.
5 The film is often associated by critics with the film noir style.
6 According to recent studies, it introduces very peculiar narrative and editing techniques so that it can be considered a very important experience at the base of the Nouvelle Vague and the so-called New Modern Cinema.

6 The film combined comedy and "whodunit" mystery with the violence of the slasher genre to satirize the cliché of the horror genre popularized in films such as "Halloween" and "Friday the 13th".
7 The film was considered unique at the time of its release for featuring characters who were aware of real world horror films and openly discussed the cliché that "Scream" attempted to subvert.
8 Based partly on the real-life case of the Gainesville Ripper, "Scream" was inspired by Williamson's passion for horror films, especially "Halloween" (1978).
9 The script, originally titled "Scary Movie", was bought by Dimension Films and was retitled by the Weinstein Brothers just before filming was complete.

12 It received several awards and award nominations.
13 The soundtrack by Marco Beltrami was also acclaimed, and was cited as "[one] of the most intriguing horror scores composed in years".
14 It has since earned "cult status".
15 "Scream" marked a change in the genre as it cast already-established and successful actors, which was considered to have helped it find a wider audience, including a significant female viewership.
16 "Scream" was credited with revitalizing the horror genre in the 1990s, which was considered to be almost dead following an influx of direct-to-video titles and numerous sequels to established horror franchises of the 1970s and 1980s.
17 These sequels drew decreasing financial and critical success, as they exploited clichés that films in the genre had become reliant upon.
18 "Scream"s success spawned a series of sequels, though only "Scream 2", released in 1997, achieved a level of commercial and critical success equal to the original film.
19 In the years following the release of "Scream", the film was accused of inspiring and even inducing violent crimes and murders.

10 The reason for Spurlock's investigation was the increasing spread of obesity throughout U.S. society, which the Surgeon General has declared "epidemic", and the corresponding lawsuit brought against McDonald's on behalf of two overweight girls, who, it was alleged, became obese as a result of eating McDonald's food [Pelman v. McDonald's Corp., 237 F. Supp.
11 2d 512].
12 Spurlock points out that although the lawsuit against McDonald's failed (and subsequently many state legislatures have legislated against product liability actions against producers and distributors of "fast food"), much of the same criticism leveled against the tobacco companies applies to fast food franchises whose product is both physiologically addictive and physically harmful.
13 The documentary was nominated for an Academy Award for Documentary Feature.
14 A comic book related to the movie has been made with Dark Horse Comics as the publisher containing stories based on numerous cases of fast food health scares.

4 (Some posters for the film use "Part 2" rather than "Part II" in the title.)
5 For this second documentary, archivists featured more obscure musical numbers from MGM's vaults, and also featured tributes to some of the studio's best known comedy teams such as the Marx Brothers and Laurel and Hardy, romantic teams such as Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn, and a montage of iconic stars such as Clark Gable, Mickey Rooney, John Barrymore, Wallace Beery, Joan Crawford, Jean Harlow, James Stewart, Lana Turner, and Greta Garbo.
6 Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire hosted the film and Kelly directed the introductory segments featuring him and Astaire, which included location footage of Kelly returning to the city of Paris which was featured in two of MGM's most famous productions, "An American in Paris" and "Gigi".
7 This was the last film he directed.
8 The film was highlighted by several newly filmed musical numbers featuring Astaire and Kelly, including a couple of routines in which they danced together for the first time since the 1946 film "Ziegfeld Follies", and for only the second time in their careers.
9 (It was the last time 76-year-old Astaire danced on film, though the veteran actor continued to make film and TV appearances into the 1980s; Kelly would go on to appear in the 1980 musical "Xanadu".)
10 According to film historian Robert Osborne, in specially-filmed introductions produced for Turner Classic Movies, it was Astaire who suggested to Kelly that the two take advantage of this potentially last-in-a-lifetime opportunity to perform together, something Kelly actually wishes for out loud during his narration of the first "That's Entertainment!"
11 film.
12 The opening title sequence was designed by Saul Bass, and pays homage to the range and style of title sequences produced between the 1930s and early 1950s.
13 The sequel received more critical acclaim, but was not as successful at the box-office as the first film.

15 III", with Kelly once again appearing.

1 Shrek
2 Shrek is a 2001 American computer-animated fantasy-comedy film produced by PDI/DreamWorks, released by DreamWorks Pictures, directed by Andrew Adamson and Vicky Jenson, featuring the voices of Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Cameron Diaz, and John Lithgow.
3 It is loosely based on William Steig's 1990 fairy tale picture book "Shrek!"
4 , and somewhat serves as a parody film, targeting other films adapted from numerous children's fantasies (mainly animated Disney films).
5 The film made notable use of popular music; the soundtrack includes music by Smash Mouth, Eels, Joan Jett, The Proclaimers, Jason Wade, Baha Men, and John Cale (covering Leonard Cohen).
6 The rights to the books were originally bought by Steven Spielberg in 1991, before the founding of DreamWorks, when he thought about making a traditionally animated film based on the book.
7 However, John H. Williams convinced him to bring the film to DreamWorks in 1994, the time the studio was founded, and the film was put quickly into active development by Jeffrey Katzenberg after the rights were bought by the studio in 1995.
8 "Shrek" originally cast Chris Farley to do the voice for the title character, recording about 80%–90% of his dialog.
9 After Farley died in 1997 before he could finish, Mike Myers was brought in to work for the character, who after his first recording decided to record his voice in a Scottish accent.
10 The film was also originally planned to be motion-captured, but after poor results, the studio decided to get PDI to help "Shrek" get its final computer-animated look.
11 Earning $484.4 million at the worldwide box office, the film was a critical and commercial success.
12 "Shrek" also received promotion from food chains such as Baskin-Robbins (promoting the film's DVD release) and Burger King.
13 It was acclaimed as an animated film worthy of adult interest, with many adult-oriented jokes and themes but a simple enough plot and humour to appeal to children.
14 "Shrek" won the first ever Academy Award for Best Animated Feature and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay.
15 The film was also nominated for six British Academy of Film and Television Arts awards, including the BAFTA Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role for Eddie Murphy for his voice-over performance as Donkey, and won the BAFTA Award for Best Adapted Screenplay.
16 The film's main (and title) character was awarded his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in May 2010.
17 "Shrek" established DreamWorks Animation as a prime competitor to Pixar in the field of feature film animation, particularly in computer animation.
18 The film's success prompted DreamWorks to create three sequels, "Shrek 2", "Shrek the Third", and "Shrek Forever After", two holiday specials, "Shrek the Halls" and "Scared Shrekless", and a spin-off film, "Puss in Boots".
19 A fifth film, planned as the last of the series, was cancelled in 2009 with the announcement that the fourth film would conclude the series.
20 The film's success also inspired other merchandise, such as video games, a stage musical and even a comic book by Dark Horse Comics.

1 The Three Musketeers (1961 film)
2 The Three Musketeers is a 1961 film adaption of the novel by Alexandre Dumas, père which consists of two parts.
3 The script keeps close to the classic French novel.
4 The director treats all the classic characters with respect, not making fun of any of them, although there is humour when d'Artagnan rides his peculiar horse and when Planchet supplies wine for the heroes.
5 The film's remarkable location shots were made in Bois de Boulogne, around and in the Château de Guermantes in Seine-et-Marne and in Semur-en-Auxois (department Côte-d'Or).
6 The settings, costumes and props are very elaborate and provide the impression of historic accuracy.
7 Bernard Borderie and his crew demonstrated here already the qualities which later contributed substantially to the success of his series of five costume drama films about Anne Golon's heroine Angelique.
8 Since Bernard Borderie had already made several Lemmy Caution films he was an expert for fighting scenes.
9 In comparison to the likewise brilliant fencing the dancer Gene Kelly (An American in Paris, Xanadu) had provided as “d'Artagnan” in an earlier adaption, the fencing in this film looks less like dancing and more dangerous.
10 But of course Borderie also knew how to present a fist fight.
11 When d'Artagnan defends Mme Bonacieux against a couple of the cardinal's thugs, the director does not only use dramatic sound effects but furthermore lets Barray's punches look more explosive by taking out frames very precisely when he is about to hit.
12 He is also capable of making us believe an outnumbered man could really win the day if only certain circumstances are given, because in Borderie's films the thugs are often so overly keen on decking the hero that they actually hinder each other to succeed.

6 The film is widely considered by fans and critics alike to be one of Seagal's best works (alongside "Under Siege" and "Above the Law"), due to the fight scenes integrating heavy elements of aikido, use of weapons, and arm dislocations.
7 Seagal supposedly studied Obeah in depth to make the film.
8 Scenes in the movie show a priestess throwing cowry shells with a picture of Screwface in an attempt to put a curse on him for a rival drug lord.
9 This was the first time Seagal worked with 20th Century Fox (which would not release another movie featuring him until his appearance in "The Onion Movie"), and was the only Seagal vehicle from a studio other than Warner Bros. until the 1998 direct-to-video "The Patriot".

6 He escapes with the assistance of a police cryptologist, Sophie Neveu, and they are embroiled in a quest for the legendary Holy Grail.
7 He is pursued by a dogged French police captain, Bezu Fache.
8 A noted British Grail historian, Sir Leigh Teabing, tells them the actual Holy Grail is explicitly encoded in Leonardo da Vinci's wall painting, the "Last Supper".
9 Also searching for the Grail is a secret cabal within Opus Dei, an actual prelature of the Holy See, who wishes to keep the true Grail a secret; the revelation of this secret would certainly destroy Christianity.
10 The film, like the book, was considered controversial.
11 It was met with especially harsh criticism by the Roman Catholic Church for the accusation that it is behind a two-thousand-year-old coverup concerning what the Holy Grail really is and the concept that Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene were married and that the union produced a daughter.
12 Many members urged the laity to boycott the film.
13 Two organizations, the Priory of Sion and Opus Dei figure prominently in the story.
14 In the book, Dan Brown insists that the Priory of Sion and "...all descriptions of artwork, architecture, documents and secret rituals in this novel are accurate".
15 The film was met with largely negative critical response upon its release on May 19, 2006.
16 However, this did little to hamper its box office performance; it earned US$224 million in its worldwide opening weekend and was the second highest-grossing film of 2006 behind "".

1 Double Suicide
2 is a 1969 film directed by Masahiro Shinoda.
3 It is based on the 1721 play "The Love Suicides at Amijima" by Monzaemon Chikamatsu.
4 This play is often performed in the bunraku style (that is, with puppets).
5 In the film, the story is performed with live actors, but also makes use of Japanese theatrical traditions such as the "kuroko" (stagehands dressed entirely in black) who invisibly interact with the actors, and the set is non-realist.
6 The film opens with the preparations by the kuroko for a modern-day presentation of a puppet play while a voice-over is heard of someone, presumably the director, calling on the telephone to find a location for the penultimate scene of the lovers' suicide.
7 Soon human actors are substituted for the puppets, and the action proceeds in a naturalistic fashion, until from time to time the kuroko intervene to accomplish scene shifts or heighten the dramatic intensity of the two lovers' resolve to be united in death.
8 The stylized sets and the period costumes and props simultaneously convey a classical theatricality and contemporaneous modernity.
9 Jihei's fatal love interest, Koharu the prostitute, and his neglected wife, Osan, are both played by actress Shima Iwashita.

7 For these reasons, "The Reivers" is often ignored by Faulkner scholars or dismissed as a lesser work.

9 The novel has won multiple awards.
10 In 1954, it won the American Academy of Arts and Letters Award in Literature and the Commonwealth Club of California Gold Medal.

1 Rhinestone
2 A rhinestone, paste or diamante is a diamond simulant made from rock crystal, glass or acrylic.
3 Originally, rhinestones were rock crystals gathered from the river Rhine, hence the name, although some were also found in areas like the Alps.
4 The availability was greatly increased in the 18th century when the Alsatian jeweller Georg Friedrich Strass had the idea to imitate diamonds by coating the lower side of glass with metal powder.
5 Hence, rhinestones are called "strass" in many European languages.
6 Rhinestones can be used as imitations of diamonds, and some manufacturers even manage to reproduce the glistening effect real diamonds have in the sun.
7 In 1955, the "Aurora Borealis", a thin, vacuum-sputtered metallic coating applied to crystal stones to produce an iridescent effect, was introduced by Swarovski.
8 "Aurora Borealis" tends to reflect whatever color is worn near it, and it is named after the Aurora Borealis atmospheric phenomenon, also known as the "Northern Lights".
9 Similar treatments are Aqua aura and "Flame aura".
10 Typically, crystal rhinestones have been used on costumes, apparel and jewelry.
11 Crystal rhinestones are produced mainly in Austria by Swarovski and in the Czech Republic by Preciosa and a few other glassworks in northern Bohemia.
12 In the US, these are sometimes called Austrian Crystal.
13 In the Spanish-speaking world they are called "Cristal de Bohemia" (Bohemian Crystal).
14 The rhinestone-studded Nudie suit was invented by Nudie Cohn in the 1940s, an Americanization of the matador's "suit of lights".
15 Rhinestone material is often used as an alternative to sequin.
16 Liberal use of rhinestones was associated with country music singers, as well as with singer Elvis Presley and pianist Liberace.
17 In 1974 David Allan Coe released the album "The Mysterious Rhinestone Cowboy" and referred to himself as The Rhinestone Cowboy again in the 1977 song "Longhaired Redneck".
18 In 1975 Glen Campbell had a top hit with the song "Rhinestone Cowboy", and became known as the "Rhinestone Cowboy".
19 That song served as the basis for the 1984 movie "Rhinestone", starring Sylvester Stallone and Dolly Parton.

7 It was a commercial success despite the many negative reviews, who focused on the plot, acting performances and characterization.

1 Celine and Julie Go Boating
2 Céline and Julie Go Boating () is a French film directed by Jacques Rivette.
3 As the film begins, we see a red-haired woman—we will learn that it is Julie (Dominique Labourier)--sitting on a bench in a pleasant but rather non-descript Parisian park.
4 She is reading a book, we can see, on magic incantations.
5 But after a few minutes of random looks around the park—children playing, a cat on the prowl for pigeons—Julie is suddenly taken by the sight of a lithe woman woozily staggering across the park, a long scarf dangling from her neck.
6 No one else seems to notice the dazed woman when she drops that scarf except for Julie, who leaps up from her park bench.
7 She calls after her.
8 Julie will chase after Céline (Juliet Berto), at first seemingly only on the mundane task of returning a dropped scarf.
9 But with just that simple act, the magic of the narrative—both of this particular story and, in Rivette's meta-approach, that of cinema itself—begins.
10 The film, referencing Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Henry James' "The Romance of Certain Old Clothes," and Louis Feuillade's Les Vampires (Gaumont, 1915), won the Special Prize of the Jury at the Locarno International Film Festival in 1974 and was an Official Selection at the 1974 New York Film Festival.

1 Joan of Arc (1948 film)
2 Joan of Arc is a 1948 American epic historical drama film directed by Victor Fleming, and starring Ingrid Bergman as the French religious icon and war heroine.
3 It was produced by Walter Wanger.
4 It is based on Maxwell Anderson's successful Broadway play "Joan of Lorraine", which also starred Bergman, and was adapted for the screen by Anderson himself, in collaboration with Andrew Solt.
5 It is the only film of an Anderson play for which the author himself wrote the film script (at least partially).
6 Bergman had been lobbying to play Joan for many years, and this film was considered a dream project for her.
7 It received mixed reviews and lower-than-expected box office, though it clearly was not a "financial disaster" as is often claimed.
8 Donald Spoto, in a biography of Ingrid Bergman, even claims that "the critics' denunciations notwithstanding, the film earned back its investment with a sturdy profit".
9 The movie is considered by some to mark the start of a low period in the actress's career that would last until she made "Anastasia" in 1956.
10 In April 1949, five months after the release of the film, and before it had gone out on general release, the revelation of Bergman's extramarital relationship with Italian director Roberto Rossellini brought her American screen career to a temporary halt.
11 The nearly two-and-a-half hour film was subsequently drastically edited for its general release, and was not restored to its original length for nearly fifty years.
12 Bergman and co-star José Ferrer (making his first film appearance and playing the Dauphin) received Academy Award nominations for their performances.
13 The film was director Victor Fleming's last project — he died only two months after its release.
14 In Michael Sragow's 2008 biography of the director, he claims that Fleming, who was, according to Sragrow, romantically involved with Ingrid Bergman at the time, was deeply unhappy with the finished product, and even wept upon seeing it for the first time.
15 Sragrow speculates that the disappointment of the failed relationship and the failure of the film may have led to Fleming's fatal heart attack, but there is no real evidence to support this.
16 While contemporary critics may have agreed with Fleming's assessment of "Joan of Arc", more recent reviewers of the restored complete version on DVD have not.

8 The story line first appeared in "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes: The Intimate Diary of a Professional Lady", a 1925 novel by Anita Loos.

4 This was an unusual departure for Astaire, one which caused some consternation among film critics and fans at the time, though not enough to prevent the film doing well.
5 Aside from the dancing - which contains a famous solo performance to the standard "One For My Baby", described by Astaire as "the best song specially written for me" -- the script provided him with his first opportunity to act in a serious dramatic role, and one with which his acting abilities, sometimes disparaged, appear to cope.
6 Astaire plays a Flying Tiger pilot on leave.
7 (Robert T. Smith, also a former Flying Tiger pilot, on leave before joining the Army Air Forces, was the technical adviser on the film.)
8 The comedy is provided by Robert Benchley (in his second appearance in an Astaire picture) and Eric Blore, a stalwart from the early Astaire-Rogers pictures.

15 Scholars have noted several themes in the film, such as glorification of violence, conformation to feudal ethos, debate between social order and mobilised usurpers, homosocial bonding, and the film's role as a national allegory.
16 The combined sales of the original soundtrack, scored by R. D. Burman, and the dialogues (released separately), set new sales records.
17 The film's dialogues and certain characters became extremely popular, contributing to numerous cultural memes and becoming part of India's daily vernacular.

1 The Mirror (1975 film)
2 The Mirror (, tr.
3 "Zerkalo"; known in the UK as "Mirror") is a 1975 Russian art film directed by Andrei Tarkovsky (1932–1986).

5 The film features Margarita Terekhova, Ignat Daniltsev, Alla Demidova, Anatoli Solonitsyn, Tarkovsky's wife Larisa Tarkovskaya and his mother Maria Vishnyakova, with a soundtrack by Eduard Artemyev.
6 "The Mirror" has no apparent plot — instead, it rhythmically combines contemporary scenes with childhood memories, dreams, and newsreel footage.
7 The cinematography slips unpredictably from color to black-and-white and back again.
8 The loose flow of visually oneiric images has been compared to stream of consciousness technique in literature.
9 Its complex, layered structure makes "The Mirror" one of Tarkovsky's most difficult films, as well as his most personal.
10 The concept of "The Mirror" dates as far back as 1964.
11 Over the years Tarkovsky wrote several screenplay variants, at times working with Aleksandr Misharin.
12 Their mutually developed script initially was not approved by the film committee of Goskino, and it was only after several years of waiting that Tarkovsky would be allowed to realize "The Mirror".
13 At various times the script was known under different names, most notably "Confession" and "A White, White Day".
14 The completed film was initially rejected by Goskino, and after some delay was given only limited release in the Soviet Union.
15 "The Mirror" has grown in reputation over many years and ranked ninth in "Sight and Sound"'s 2012 directors poll of the best films ever made.

3 The film's screenplay was written by François Girard (who also directed) and Don McKellar.
4 The film does not present a single narrative, rather a series of thirty-one short films.
5 These include documentaries (five interviews with people who knew him), re-creations of scenes from Gould's life, and various odd items (such as "Gould Meets McLaren", in which animated spheres reminiscent of those in Norman McLaren's animations move to Gould's music).
6 The segments range in length from six minutes to less than one minute.
7 According to Girard: "As Gould was such a complex character, the biggest problem was to find a way to look at his work and deal with his visions.
8 The film is built of fragments, each one trying to capture an aspect of Gould.
9 There is no way of putting Gould in one box.
10 The film gives the viewer 32 impressions of him.
11 I didn't want to reduce him to one dimension."
12 The soundtrack consists almost entirely of piano recordings by Gould.
13 A notable exception is the overture to Wagner's "Tristan und Isolde".
14 It includes pieces famously linked with him, such as Bach: The Goldberg Variations, and the "Well-Tempered Clavier", as well as others which are less so.
15 The film won four Genie Awards and Best Canadian Feature Film at the Toronto International Film Festival.
16 The structure and style of the "The Simpsons" episode "22 Short Films About Springfield" (first aired April 14, 1996), is inspired by this film.
17 It was also used in an "Animaniacs" short entitled "Ten Short Films About Wakko Warner".
18 The title also inspired Cory Arcangel's piece "A Couple Thousand Short Films About Glenn Gould" which constructed the Goldberg variations out of clips of notes from YouTube.

5 There were major setbacks in the film's production due to cost and time overruns, negative press, and rumors about Cimino's allegedly overbearing directorial style.
6 It is generally considered one of the biggest box office bombs of all time, and in some circles has been considered to be one of the worst films ever made.
7 It opened to poor reviews and earned less than $3 million domestically (from an estimated budget of $44 million), eventually contributing to the near collapse of its studio, United Artists, and effectively destroying the reputation of Cimino, previously one of the ascendant directors of Hollywood owing to his celebrated 1978 film "The Deer Hunter", which had won Academy Awards for Best Picture and Best Director in 1979.
8 Cimino had an expansive and ambitious vision for the film and pushed it about four times over its planned budget.
9 The movie's financial problems and United Artists' consequent demise led to a move away from director-driven film production in the American film industry and a shift toward greater studio control of films.
10 As time has progressed, a number of substantial assessments have become more nuanced and in some cases more positive, and now some critics have described "Heaven's Gate" as a "modern masterpiece" whose 1980 re-edit after poor press screenings was characterized as "one of the greatest injustices of cinematic history."

9 Fincher developed the script with Uhls and sought screenwriting advice from the cast and others in the film industry.
10 The director and the cast compared the film to "Rebel Without a Cause" (1955) and "The Graduate" (1967).
11 Fincher intended "Fight Club"s violence to serve as a metaphor for the conflict between a generation of young people and the value system of advertising.
12 The director copied the homoerotic overtones from Palahniuk's novel to make audiences uncomfortable and keep them from anticipating the twist ending.
13 Studio executives did not like the film and they restructured Fincher's intended marketing campaign to try to reduce anticipated losses.
14 "Fight Club" failed to meet the studio's expectations at the box office and received polarized reactions from critics.

4 The film is set in an alternate history in 1985 at the height of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, as a group of mostly retired vigilantes investigates an apparent conspiracy against them and uncovers something even more grandiose and sinister.
5 Following publication of the "Watchmen" comic, a live-action film adaptation was mired in development hell.
6 Producer Lawrence Gordon began developing the project at 20th Century Fox and Warner Bros. (parent company of "Watchmen" publisher DC Comics) with producer Joel Silver and director Terry Gilliam, the latter eventually deeming the complex novel "un-filmable."
7 During the 2000s (decade), Gordon and Lloyd Levin collaborated with Universal Studios and Paramount Pictures to produce a script by David Hayter; Darren Aronofsky and Paul Greengrass were also attached to the project before it was canceled over budget disputes.
8 The project returned to Warner Bros., where Snyder was hired to direct – Paramount remained as international distributor.
9 Fox sued Warner Bros. for copyright violation arising from Gordon's failure to pay a buy-out in 1991, which enabled him to develop the film at the other studios.
10 Fox and Warner Bros. settled this before the film's release with Fox receiving a portion of the gross.
11 Principal photography began in Vancouver, September 2007.
12 As with his previous film "300", Snyder closely modeled his storyboards on the comic, but chose not to shoot all of "Watchmen" using green screens and opted for real sets instead.
13 Following its world premiere at Odeon Leicester Square on February 23, 2009, the film was released in both conventional and IMAX theaters on March 6, 2009, grossing $55 million on the opening weekend, and grossed over $185 million at the worldwide box office.
14 A DVD based on elements of the "Watchmen" universe was released, including an animated adaptation of the comic "Tales of the Black Freighter" within the story, starring Gerard Butler, and the fictional biography "Under the Hood", detailing the older generation of superheroes from the film's back-story.
15 A director's cut with 24 minutes of additional footage was released in July 2009.
16 The "Ultimate Cut" edition incorporated the "Tales of the Black Freighter" content into the narrative as it was in the original graphic novel, lengthening the runtime to 215 minutes, and was released on November 3, 2009.

5 (Some live radio adaptations of the musical would also omit or heavily alter the racial angle.)

4 The recording, named "Buena Vista Social Club" after the Havana institution, became an international success, and the ensemble was encouraged to perform with a full line-up in Amsterdam in April 1998 (two nights).
5 German director Wim Wenders captured the performance on film and the one that followed on the 1st of July 1998 in Carnegie Hall, New York City for a documentary also called Buena Vista Social Club that included interviews with the musicians conducted in Havana.
6 Wenders' film was released on 4 June 1999 to critical acclaim, receiving an Academy Award nomination for Best Documentary feature and winning numerous accolades including Best Documentary at the European Film Awards.

8 Some of the Cuban performers later released well-received solo albums and recorded collaborations with international stars from different musical genres.
9 The "Buena Vista Social Club" name became an umbrella term to describe these performances and releases, and has been likened to a brand label that encapsulates Cuba's "musical golden age" between the 1930s and 1950s.
10 The new success was fleeting for the most recognizable artists in the ensemble: Compay Segundo, Rubén González, and Ibrahim Ferrer, who died at the ages of ninety-five, eighty-four, and seventy-eight respectively; Segundo and González in 2003, then Ferrer in 2005.

1 Barton Fink
2 Barton Fink is a 1991 American period film written, directed, produced, and edited by the Coen brothers.
3 Set in 1941, it stars John Turturro in the title role as a young New York City playwright who is hired to write scripts for a film studio in Hollywood, and John Goodman as Charlie, the insurance salesman who lives next door at the run-down Hotel Earle.
4 The Coens wrote the screenplay in three weeks while experiencing difficulty during the writing of "Miller's Crossing".
5 Soon after "Miller's Crossing" was finished, the Coens began filming "Barton Fink", which had its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in May 1991.
6 In a rare sweep, "Barton Fink" won the Palme d'Or, as well as awards for Best Director and Best Actor (Turturro).
7 Although it was celebrated almost universally by critics and nominated for three Academy Awards, the film grossed only a little over $6 million at the box office, two-thirds of its estimated budget.
8 The process of writing and the culture of entertainment production are two prominent themes of "Barton Fink".
9 The world of Hollywood is contrasted with that of Broadway, and the film analyzes superficial distinctions between high culture and low culture.
10 Other themes in the film include fascism and World War II; slavery and conditions of labor in creative industries; and how intellectuals relate to "the common man".
11 Because of its diverse elements, the film has defied efforts at genre classification, being variously referred to as a film noir, a horror film, a "Künstlerroman", and a buddy film.
12 The feel of the Hotel Earle was central to the development of the story, and careful deliberation went into its design.
13 There is a sharp contrast between Fink's living quarters and the polished, pristine environs of Hollywood, especially the home of Jack Lipnick.
14 On the wall of Fink's room there hangs a single picture of a woman at the beach; this captures Barton's attention, and the image reappears in the final scene of the film.
15 Although the picture and other elements of the film (including a mysterious box given to Fink by Charlie) appear laden with symbolism, critics disagree over their possible meanings.
16 The Coens have acknowledged some intentional symbolic elements while denying an attempt to communicate any message in the film overall.
17 The film contains allusions to many real-life people and events, most notably the writers Clifford Odets and William Faulkner.
18 The characters of Barton Fink and W. P. Mayhew are widely seen as fictional representations of these men, but the Coens stress important differences.
19 They have also admitted to parodying film magnates like Louis B. Mayer, but they note that Fink's agonizing tribulations in Hollywood are not meant to reflect their own experiences.
20 "Barton Fink" was influenced by several earlier works, including the films of Roman Polanski, particularly "Repulsion" (1965) and "The Tenant" (1976).
21 Other influences are Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining" and Preston Sturges's "Sullivan's Travels".
22 The film contains a number of literary allusions to works by William Shakespeare, John Keats, and Flannery O'Connor.
23 There are also religious overtones, including references to the Book of Daniel, King Nebuchadnezzar, and Bathsheba.

6 Fontaine was the last surviving actress with a credited role in the film; she died in 2013.
7 The film continued the play's all-female tradition—the entire cast of more than 130 speaking roles was female.
8 Set in the glamorous Manhattan apartments of high society evoked by Cedric Gibbons, and in Reno where they obtain their divorces, it presents an acidic commentary on the pampered lives and power struggles of various rich, bored wives and other women they come into contact with.
9 Throughout "The Women", not a single male is seen — although the males are much talked about, and the central theme is the women's relationships with them.
10 Lesbianism is intimated in the portrayal of only one character, Nancy Blake.
11 The attention to detail was such that even in props such as portraits only female figures are represented, and several animals which appeared as pets were also female.
12 The only exceptions are a poster-drawing clearly of a bull in the fashion show segment and an ad on the back of the magazine Peggy reads at Mary's house before lunch.
13 Filmed in black and white, it includes a ten-minute fashion parade filmed in Technicolor, featuring Adrian's most outré designs; often cut in modern screenings, it has been restored by Turner Classic Movies.

7 It was nominated for Best Actor in a Leading Role (Alexander Knox); Best Director; Best Effects, Special Effects (Fred Sersen, Roger Heman Sr.); Best Music, Scoring of a Dramatic or Comedy Picture; and Best Picture.
8 The film was notable for giving character actor Alexander Knox (in the title role) one of his few chances to play the lead in a film.
9 Though a critically acclaimed, Oscar-winning film, "Wilson" is remembered for being a huge flop at the box office.
10 It was a pet project of Darryl F. Zanuck, who greatly admired Woodrow Wilson, and its failure upset him to the point that for years he forbade his employees from mentioning the film in his presence.
11 The film is sometimes shown on cable television, and was first broadcast on Turner Classic Movies on February 8, 2013.
12 Franklin D. Roosevelt showed the film at the September 1944 Second Quebec Conference with Winston S. Churchill.

11 In the process the younger two (an artist and a very young, twice-widowed woman) fall in love and become a couple, soon to be married.

4 The novel follows the lives of four sisters—Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy March—detailing their passage from childhood to womanhood, and is loosely based on the author and her three sisters.
5 "Little Women" was an immediate commercial and critical success, and readers demanded to know more about the characters.
6 Alcott quickly completed a second volume, entitled Good Wives.
7 It was also successful.
8 The two volumes were issued in 1880 in a single work entitled "Little Women."
9 Alcott also wrote two sequels to her popular work, both of which also featured the March sisters: "Little Men" (1871) and "Jo's Boys" (1886).
10 Although "Little Women" was a novel for girls, it differed notably from the current writings for children, especially girls.
11 The novel addressed three major themes: "domesticity, work, and true love, all of them interdependent and each necessary to the achievement of its heroine's individual identity."
12 "Little Women" "has been read as a romance or as a quest, or both.
13 It has been read as a family drama that validates virtue over wealth", but also "as a means of escaping that life by women who knew its gender constraints only too well".
14 According to Sarah Elbert, Alcott created a new form of literature, one that took elements from Romantic children's fiction and combined it with others from sentimental novels, resulting in a totally new format.
15 Elbert argued that within "Little Women" can be found the first vision of the "All-American girl" and that her multiple aspects are embodied in the differing March sisters.

4 During the course of the movie, the young men slowly lose their innocence about the purpose of war.
5 The climax of the movie occurs on the Anzac battlefield at Gallipoli and depicts the futile attack at the Battle of the Nek on 7 August 1915.
6 "Gallipoli" provides a faithful portrayal of life in Australia in the 1910s—reminiscent of Weir's 1975 film "Picnic at Hanging Rock" set in 1900—and captures the ideals and character of the Australians who joined up to fight, as well as the conditions they endured on the battlefield.

1 The Red and the White
2 The Red and the White () is a 1967 film directed by Miklós Jancsó and dealing with the Russian Civil War.
3 The original Hungarian title, "Csillagosok, katonák", can be translated as "Stars on their Caps" (literally 'starries, soldiers'), which, as with a number of Jancsó film titles, is a quote from a song.
4 The film was listed to compete at the 1968 Cannes Film Festival, but the festival was canceled due to the events of May 1968 in France.
5 It was voted as "Best Foreign Film of 1969" by the French Syndicate of Cinema Critics.
6 The film, a Russian-Hungarian co-production, was originally commissioned to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the October Revolution in Russia in which the Bolsheviks seized power.
7 However, Jancsó chose to set the action two years later in 1919 and showed Hungarian irregulars supporting the Communist "Reds" in fighting the Tsarist "Whites" as the two sides battled for control in the hills overlooking the Volga river.
8 As well as deviating on the required setting, Jancsó also chose to use a radically different approach to the film than that expected.
9 Rather than shooting a hagiographic account of the birth of Soviet Communism, Jancsó produced a profoundly anti-heroic film that depicts the senseless brutality of the Russian Civil War specifically and all armed combat in general.

7 Martin's Press hardback, Ballantine paperback), and in the U.K., Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden and Norway, in German, Dutch, Swedish and Norwegian.
8 The movie made many significant changes from the novel, particularly in the make-up of the family, which in the novel consisted of two parents and three children, as well as the dog, who sees the family as his pack, which must be defended at all costs.
9 The dog's perceptions of events are treated in great detail, as is the relationship between him and his human family, and his confusion as to whether the werewolf is a threat to his family that must be eliminated, or a pack member who must be respected.
10 These subtleties mainly did not make it into the film.
11 Bad Moon received poor reviews and was a box office bomb.

2 Over the Edge is a coming-of-age drama film directed by Jonathan Kaplan released in May 1979.

4 It stars 14-year-old Matt Dillon in his feature film debut.
5 Depicting suburban life in the late 1970s and including themes of teenage rebellion and drug and alcohol use by junior high school students, and a rock music soundtrack featuring such bands as Cheap Trick, the Cars, and the Ramones, "Over the Edge" has achieved cult film status, and was an inspiration for the music videos for the songs "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana and "Evil Eye" by Fu Manchu.
6 "Over the Edge" was inspired by actual events that took place in Foster City, California in the early 1970s.

8 Twentieth Century Fox insisted on casting the two characters of Brad and Janet with American actors, Barry Bostwick and Susan Sarandon.
9 Some of the costumes from the film were originally used in the stage production.
10 Props and set pieces were reused from old Hammer films.
11 Although the film is both a send-up and tribute to many of the science fiction and horror movies from the 1930s up to the 1970s, costume designer Sue Blane had not conducted any research in designing for the film.
12 Blane believes that the costumes in the film directly impacted on the development of punk music fashion.
13 Although largely ignored upon release, it soon gained notoriety as a midnight movie when audiences began participating with the film at the Waverly Theater in New York City in 1976.
14 Audience members returned to the cinemas frequently and talked back to the screen and began dressing as the characters, spawning similar performance groups across the United States.
15 Still in limited release nearly four decades after its premiere, it has the longest-running theatrical release in film history.
16 Today, the film has a large international cult following and is one of the most well-known and financially successful midnight movies of all time.
17 It was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress in 2005.

3 It features Helen Broderick, Victor Moore, Eric Blore and Georges Metaxa, with music by Jerome Kern and lyrics by Dorothy Fields.
4 The film was directed by George Stevens.
5 "Swing Time" is considered by Arlene Croce to be Astaire and Rogers' best dance musical, a view shared by John Mueller and Hannah Hyam.
6 It features four dance routines that are each regarded as masterpieces of their kind.
7 "Never Gonna Dance" is often singled out as the partnership's and collaborator Hermes Pan's most profound achievement in filmed dance, while "The Way You Look Tonight" won the Academy Award for Best Original Song and went on to become Astaire's most successful hit record, scoring first place in the U.S. charts in 1936.
8 Jerome Kern's score, the second of two he composed specially for Astaire, contains three of his most memorable songs.
9 But while it is considered to be one of Astaire and Rogers' greatest films, the film's plot has been criticized as has the performance of Metaxa.
10 More praised is the acting and dancing performance of Ginger Rogers.
11 Rogers herself credited much of the film's success to Stevens: "He gave us a certain quality, I think, that made it stand out above the others."
12 "Swing Time" also marked the beginning of a decline in popularity of the Astaire-Rogers partnership among the general public, with box office receipts falling faster than usual, after a successful opening.
13 Nevertheless, the film was a sizable hit, costing $886,000 while grossing over $2,600,000 worldwide and showing a net profit of $830,000.
14 Still, the partnership never again quite regained the creative heights scaled in this and previous films.
15 In 1999 "Swing Time" was one of "Entertainment Weekly"'s top 100 films.
16 In 2004 it was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
17 In the new AFI's 100 Years... 100 Movies (10th Anniversary Edition) it has been added at #90.

1 Alice's Restaurant
2 "Alice's Restaurant Massacree" is a musical monologue by singer-songwriter Arlo Guthrie released on his 1967 album "Alice's Restaurant".
3 The song is one of Guthrie's most prominent works, based on a true incident in his life that began on Thanksgiving Day 1965, and which inspired a 1969 movie of the same name.
4 Apart from the chorus which begins and ends it, the "song" is in fact a spoken monologue, with ragtime guitar backing.
5 Though the song's official title, as printed on the album, is "Alice's Restaurant Massacree" (pronounced with a long e sound at the end), Guthrie states in the opening line of the song that "This song's called 'Alice's Restaurant'" and that "'Alice's Restaurant'... is just the name of the song;" as such, the shortened title is the one most commonly used for the song today.
6 In an interview for "All Things Considered", Guthrie said the song points out that any American citizen who was convicted of a crime, no matter how minor (in his case, it was littering), could avoid being conscripted to fight in the Vietnam War.
7 The Alice in the song was restaurant-owner Alice M. Brock, who in 1964 used $2,000 supplied by her mother to purchase a deconsecrated church in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, where Alice and her husband Ray would live.
8 It was here rather than at the restaurant—which came later—where the song's Thanksgiving dinners were actually held.
9 The song lasts 18 minutes and 34 seconds, occupying the entire A-side of Guthrie's 1967 debut record album, also titled "Alice's Restaurant".
10 It is notable as a satirical, first-person account of 1960s counterculture, in addition to being a hit song in its own right.
11 The final part of the song is an encouragement for the listeners to sing along, to resist the U.S. draft, and to end war.

8 An appraisal in 2006 reported: "Although it was not the complete box office failure that today everyone believes ... it was initially a major disappointment and confirmed, at least to the studios, that Capra was no longer capable of turning out the populist features that made his films the must-see, money-making events they once were."
9 "It's a Wonderful Life" is considered one of the most critically acclaimed films ever made.
10 It was nominated for five Academy Awards including Best Picture and has been recognized by the American Film Institute as one of the 100 best American films ever made, placing number 11 on its initial 1998 greatest movie list, and would also place number one on its list of the most inspirational American films of all time.
11 Capra revealed that this was his personal favorite among the films he directed and that he screened it for his family every Christmas season.

5 It was released in 1978 by Universal Studios.
6 The film is the feature film directorial debut of Robert Zemeckis and also the first film that Steven Spielberg executive produced.
7 Even though modestly budgeted, in order to convince Universal to bankroll it, Spielberg had to promise studio executives that, if Zemeckis was seen to be doing a markedly poor job, he would step in and direct the film himself.
8 Despite positive previews and critical response ("The New York Times" wrote that "the whole film sparkles with a boisterous lunacy" and called its plot "positively dazzling"), the film was not a financial success and was considered a flop, unable to recoup its rather modest $2.8 million budget.
9 Zemeckis later said, "One of the great memories in my life is going to the preview.
10 I didn't know what to expect [but] the audience just went wild.
11 They were laughing and cheering.
12 It was just great.
13 Then we learned a really sad lesson...just because a movie worked with a preview audience didn't mean anyone wanted to go see it."
14 Over a year later, in December 1979, four of the film's stars—Bobby DiCicco, Wendie Jo Sperber, Nancy Allen and Eddie Deezen—appeared in the Spielberg-directed comedy film "1941", which was written by Gale and Zemeckis.

1 Sylvia Scarlett
2 Sylvia Scarlett is a 1935 romantic comedy film starring Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant, based on "The Early Life and Adventures of Sylvia Scarlett", a novel by Compton MacKenzie.
3 Directed by George Cukor, it was notorious as one of the most famous unsuccessful movies of the 1930s.
4 Hepburn plays the title role of Sylvia Scarlett, a female con artist masquerading as a boy to escape the police.
5 The success of the subterfuge is in large part due to the transformation of Hepburn by RKO make-up artist Mel Berns.
6 This film was the first pairing of Grant and Hepburn, who later starred together in "Bringing Up Baby" (1938), "Holiday" (1938), and "The Philadelphia Story" (1940).
7 Cary Grant's performance as a dashing rogue sees him incorporate a (rather unconvincing) Cockney accent and remains widely considered the first time Grant's famous personality began to register on film.
8 (Grant only used the Cockney accent in a few other films, notably 1939's "Gunga Din" and Clifford Odets' "None but the Lonely Heart" in 1944.)
9 Cockney was not, however, Cary Grant's original accent.
10 He was born and grew up in Bristol, which has a very different accent from that of London, although it was much closer to Grant's pre-Hollywood accent than the voice he used in most films, an essentially successful product of his attempting to sound more American in order to broaden the range of roles for which he could be cast.

1 Spider-Man
2 Spider-Man is a fictional character, a comic book superhero that appears in comic books published by Marvel Comics.
3 Created by writer-editor Stan Lee and writer-artist Steve Ditko, he first appeared in "Amazing Fantasy" #15 (cover-dated Aug. 1962).
4 Lee and Ditko conceived the character as an orphan being raised by his Aunt May and Uncle Ben, and as a teenager, having to deal with the normal struggles of adolescence in addition to those of a costumed crimefighter.
5 Spider-Man's creators gave him super strength and agility, the ability to cling to most surfaces, shoot spider-webs using wrist-mounted devices of his own invention (which he called "web-shooters"), and react to danger quickly with his "spider-sense", enabling him to combat his foes.
6 When Spider-Man first appeared in the early 1960s, teenagers in superhero comic books were usually relegated to the role of sidekick to the protagonist.
7 The Spider-Man series broke ground by featuring Peter Parker, a teenage high school student and person behind Spider-Man's secret identity to whose "self-obsessions with rejection, inadequacy, and loneliness" young readers could relate.
8 Unlike previous teen heroes such as Bucky and Robin, Spider-Man did not benefit from being the protégé of any adult superhero mentors like Captain America and Batman, and thus had to learn for himself that "with great power there must also come great responsibility"—a line included in a text box in the final panel of the first Spider-Man story, but later retroactively attributed to his guardian, the late Uncle Ben.
9 Marvel has featured Spider-Man in several comic book series, the first and longest-lasting of which is titled "The Amazing Spider-Man".
10 Over the years, the Peter Parker character has developed from shy, nerdy high school student to troubled but outgoing college student, to married high school teacher to, in the late 2000s, a single freelance photographer, his most typical adult role.
11 In the 2010s, he joins the Avengers and the Fantastic Four, Marvel's flagship superhero teams.
12 In a 2012 - 2014 storyline, Peter Parker dies while his mind is in the body of his enemy Doctor Octopus; Doctor Octopus then lives on inside of Parker's body, taking the role of Spider-Man in "The Superior Spider-Man".
13 However, Parker returned to his body in April 2014.
14 Separately, Marvel has also published books featuring alternate versions of Spider-Man, including "Spider-Man 2099", which features the adventures of Miguel O'Hara, the Spider-Man of the future; "Ultimate Spider-Man", which features the adventures of a teenaged Peter Parker in an alternate universe; and "Ultimate Comics Spider-Man", which depicts the teenager Miles Morales, who takes up the mantle of Spider-Man after Ultimate Peter Parker's death.
15 Spider-Man is one of the most popular and commercially successful superheroes.
16 As Marvel's flagship character and company mascot, he has appeared in many forms of media, including several animated and live-action television shows, syndicated newspaper comic strips, and a series of films starring Tobey Maguire as the hero in the first three movies.
17 Andrew Garfield took over the role of Spider-Man in a reboot of the films.
18 Reeve Carney starred as Spider-Man in the 2010 Broadway musical "".
19 Spider-Man placed 3rd on IGN's Top 100 Comic Book Heroes of All Time in 2011, behind DC Comics characters Superman and Batman.

4 The screenplay was adapted by Dudley Nichols and Hagar Wilde from a short story by Wilde which originally appeared in "Collier's Weekly" magazine on April 10, 1937.
5 The script was written specifically for Hepburn, and was tailored to her personality.
6 Filming began in September 1937 and wrapped in January 1938; it was over schedule and over budget.
7 Production was frequently delayed due to uncontrollable laughing fits between Hepburn and Grant.
8 Hepburn struggled with her comedic performance and was coached by her co-star, vaudeville veteran Walter Catlett.
9 A tame leopard was used during the shooting; its trainer was off-screen with a whip for all its scenes.
10 "Bringing up Baby" is known for Grant's early use of the word "gay" in the context of homosexuality, although some historians believe the word did not have a homosexual connotation in 1937.
11 Although it has a reputation as a flop upon its release, "Bringing up Baby" was moderately successful in many cities and eventually made a small profit after its re-release in the early 1940s.
12 Shortly after the film's premiere, Hepburn was infamously labeled box-office poison by the Independent Theatre Owners of America and would not regain her success until "The Philadelphia Story" two years later.
13 The film's reputation began to grow during the 1950s, when it was shown on television.
14 In 1972 director Peter Bogdanovich filmed a loose remake of the film entitled "What's Up, Doc?"
15 In 1990 "Bringing Up Baby" was selected for preservation in the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress as "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant", and it has appeared on a number of greatest-films lists, ranking at 88th on the American Film Institute's 100 greatest American films of all time list.

5 The book follows his battle to practice what the public sees as modern architecture, which he believes to be superior, despite an establishment centered on tradition-worship.
6 How others in the novel relate to Roark demonstrates Rand's various archetypes of human character, all of which are variants between Roark, the author's ideal man of independence and integrity, and what she described as the "second-handers".
7 The complex relationships between Roark and the various kinds of individuals who assist or hinder his progress, or both, allow the novel to be at once a romantic drama and a philosophical work.
8 Roark is Rand's embodiment of what she believes to be the ideal man, and his struggle reflects Rand's personal belief that individualism trumps collectivism.
9 The manuscript was rejected by twelve publishers before editor Archibald Ogden at the Bobbs-Merrill Company risked his job to get it published.
10 Despite mixed reviews from the contemporary media, the book gained a following by word of mouth and became a bestseller.

12 "Playing a vain, laid-back sensualist, the silver bearded Kristofferson has a smiling glow; he has never been more at ease; Rip Torn is the pictures insurance against gentility.
13 Everything he says sounds mean and dirty, and even when you can't understand his snarled out words he makes you laugh.
14 Rhonda Dotson has something of Teri Garr's manic alertness and dippiness, too, but in a softer form.
15 She's a romantic comedienne with awesome poise.
16 Richard C. Sarafian has a whomping comic menace.
17 Lesley Ann Warren's Gilda is spectacular.
18 When we first see Gilda, she's a singer with no belief in herself and no class; she's an incredibly beautiful girl in a red dress [but] when Doc grooms her to go out as the opening act for Blackie, she begins to learn something about taste and musicianship, and her voice flowers.
19 Besides being one of the great beauties of the screen, Warren can sing."

1 The Lower Depths
2 The Lower Depths (, "Na dne", literally: 'At the bottom') is perhaps Maxim Gorky's best-known play.
3 It was written during the winter of 1901 and the spring of 1902.
4 Subtitled "Scenes from Russian Life," it depicted a group of impoverished Russians living in a shelter near the Volga.
5 Produced by the Moscow Arts Theatre on December 18, 1902, Konstantin Stanislavski directed and starred.
6 It became his first major success, and a hallmark of Russian socialist realism.
7 The characters of "The Lower Depths" are said to have been inspired by the denizens of the so-called Bugrov Homeless Shelter (, "Bugrovskaya nochlezhka") in Nizhny Novgorod, which had been built in 1880–83 by the Old Believer grain merchant and philanthropist Nikolai Alexandrovich Bugrov () (1837—1911) in memory of his father, A.P. Bugrov.
8 When the actors of the Moscow Arts Theatre were preparing the play for its first run in 1902, Maxim Gorky supplied them with photographs of the Nizhny Novgorod underclass taken by the famous local photographer, Maxim Dmitriev (Максим Дмитриев), to help with the realism of the acting and costumes.

11 However, in this respect, the play is generally regarded as a masterwork.
12 The theme of harsh truth versus the comforting lie pervades the play from start to finish, as most of the characters choose to deceive themselves from the bleak reality of their condition.

2 The Night Stalker is a made for television movie which aired on ABC on January 11, 1972.
3 In it an investigative reporter, played by Darren McGavin, comes to suspect that a serial killer in the Las Vegas area is in fact a vampire.
4 Based on the then-unpublished novel by Jeff Rice entitled "The Kolchak Papers", Rice wrote the novel because "I'd always wanted to write a vampire story, but more because I wanted to write something that involved Las Vegas."
5 Rice had difficulty finding any publisher willing to buy the manuscript until agent Rick Ray read the manuscript and realized the novel would make a good movie.
6 The 1973 novel (renamed "The Night Stalker" ) wasn't published until after the TV movie had already aired, and was delayed according to Rice because the publisher wanted both Rice's original novel and the 1974 sequel "The Night Strangler" (written by Rice but based on the screenplay by author Richard Matheson) so "they could be placed on the top of the publisher's list in the 1 and 2 positions for 1974."
7 Directed by John Llewllyn Moxey, a veteran of theatrical and TV movies, adapted by Richard Matheson and produced by Dan Curtis, best known at the time for "Dark Shadows", "The Night Stalker" became ABC's highest rated original TV movie, earning a 33.2 rating & 54 share which was unheard of for an original TV movie at the time.
8 The TV movie did so well it was released overseas as a theatrical movie and inspired a sequel TV movie entitled "The Night Strangler", which aired in 1973, a short lived TV series entitled "" which ran on ABC between 1974–75, and a short lived 2005 TV series called "Night Stalker".
9 Actor Darren McGavin recalled that his involvement began when "My representatives called to say that ABC had purchased the right to a book called "The Kolchak Papers".
10 They were into a kind of first draft of a script by Richard Matheson, and they called the agency to ask them if I’d be interested in doing it.
11 My representative read it and called me."
12 The popular TV movie, along with its sequel and the TV series, provided inspiration for Chris Carter's "The X-Files".
13 Carter featured actor Darren McGavin in two episodes of the TV series as a tribute to the actor and the project that inspired his popular series.
14 Originally Carter had wanted McGavin to play Kolchak, but the actor elected not to, so the role was rewritten, making McGavin's character Arthur Dales the "father of the X-files".

3 It was the last black-and-white World War II epic and the last black-and-white John Wayne film.

6 The film recounts the lives of several US naval officers and their wives or lovers while based in Hawaii as the US involvement in World War II begins.
7 The title of the film comes from a quote from American Revolutionary naval hero John Paul Jones: "I wish to have no connection with any ship that does not sail fast, for I intend to go in harm's way."
8 The film presents a relatively unromanticized and realistic picture of the American Navy and its officers in the period before and shortly after the start of World War II, complete with bureaucratic infighting among the brass and sometimes disreputable private acts by individuals.
9 Its sprawling narrative is typical of Preminger's works in which he examined institutions and the people who run them (such as the American Congress and the Presidency in "Advise and Consent", the Catholic Church in "The Cardinal" and the British Intelligence Service in "The Human Factor").

3 The movie exhibits elements of both film noir and surrealism.
4 The film stars Kyle MacLachlan, Isabella Rossellini, Dennis Hopper and Laura Dern.
5 The title is taken from The Clovers' 1955 song of the same name.
6 Although initially detested by some mainstream critics, the film is now widely acclaimed, and earned Lynch his second Academy Award nomination for Best Director.
7 As an example of a director casting against the norm, "Blue Velvet" is also noted for re-launching Hopper's career and for providing Rossellini with a dramatic outlet beyond the work as a fashion model and a cosmetics spokeswoman for which she had until then been known.
8 After the commercial and critical failure of Lynch's "Dune" (1984), he made attempts at developing a more "personal story", somewhat characteristic of the surreal style he displayed in his debut "Eraserhead" (1977).
9 The screenplay of "Blue Velvet" had been passed around multiple times in the late 1970s and early 1980s, with many major studios declining it because of its strong sexual and violent content.
10 The independent studio De Laurentiis Entertainment Group, owned at the time by Italian film producer Dino De Laurentiis, agreed to finance and produce the film.
11 Since its initial theatrical release, "Blue Velvet" has achieved cult status, significant academic attention and, alongside "Eraserhead" and "Mulholland Drive", is widely regarded as one of Lynch's finest works.
12 It is also seen by many critics as representing a modern-day version of film-noir, "neo-noir", present in many thrillers from the early 1980s to the mid-1990s.
13 "Blue Velvet" was ranked as one of the 100 Greatest Films of All Time by "Entertainment Weekly" in 1999 and chosen by the American Film Institute as one of the greatest mystery films ever made.
14 The film centers on eccentric college student Jeffrey Beaumont (MacLachlan), who, returning from visiting his ill father in the hospital, comes across a human ear in a field in his hometown of Lumberton.
15 He proceeds to investigate the ear with help from a high school student, Sandy Williams (Dern), who provides him with information and leads from her father, a local police detective.
16 Jeffrey's investigation draws him deeper into his hometown's seedy underworld, and sees him forming a sexual relationship with the alluring torch singer Dorothy Vallens (Rossellini), and uncovering the psychotic criminal Frank Booth (Hopper), who engages in drug abuse, kidnapping, and sexual violence.

1 Battlefield Earth (film)
2 Battlefield Earth (also referred to as Battlefield Earth: A Saga of the Year 3000) is a 2000 American dystopian science fiction action film based upon the first half of L. Ron Hubbard's novel of the same name.
3 Directed by Roger Christian and starring John Travolta, Barry Pepper and Forest Whitaker, the film depicts an Earth that has been under the rule of the alien Psychlos for 1,000 years and tells the story of the rebellion that develops when the Psychlos attempt to use the surviving humans as gold miners.
4 Travolta, a long-time Scientologist, had sought for many years to make a film of the novel by Hubbard, the founder of Scientology.
5 He was unable to obtain funding from any major studio due to concerns about the film's script, prospects and connections with Scientology, leaving the film in development hell.
6 The project was eventually taken on in 1998 by an independent production company, Franchise Pictures, which specialized in rescuing stars' stalled pet projects.
7 Travolta signed on as a co-producer and contributed millions of dollars of his own money to the production, which was largely funded by a German film distribution company.
8 Franchise Pictures was later sued by its investors and was bankrupted in 2004 after it emerged that it had fraudulently overstated the film's budget by $31 million.
9 "Battlefield Earth" was released on May 12, 2000.
10 The film was a major critical and commercial failure and has been listed as being one of the worst movies of all time.
11 Reviewers panned the film, criticizing virtually every aspect of the production including Travolta's acting, which many described as "hammy", overuse of angled shots and slow-motion, poor script, several plot holes and narrative inconsistencies, art design and dialogue.
12 Audiences were reported to have ridiculed early screenings and stayed away from the film after its opening weekend, which led to "Battlefield Earth" failing to recoup its costs.
13 The film went on to receive a total of nine Golden Raspberry Awards, which until 2012 was the most Razzie Awards given to a single film.
14 Travolta originally envisioned the film as the first of two adapted from the book, as the screenplay only covered the first half of the novel.
15 However, the film's poor performance at the box office, as well as the collapse of Franchise Pictures, meant that the planned sequel was not made.

1 Get Carter
2 Get Carter is a 1971 British crime film directed by Mike Hodges and starring Michael Caine, Ian Hendry, Britt Ekland, John Osborne and Bryan Mosley.
3 The screenplay was adapted by Hodges from Ted Lewis' 1969 novel "Jack's Return Home".
4 Producer Michael Klinger optioned the book and made a deal for the ailing Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) studio to finance and release the film, bringing in Hodges and Caine.
5 Caine became a co-producer of the film.
6 "Get Carter" was Hodges' first feature film as director, as well as being the screen debut of Alun Armstrong.
7 MGM was scaling back its European operations and the film became the last project approved before the American company closed its Borehamwood studios.
8 The film is set in North East England and was filmed in and around Newcastle upon Tyne, Gateshead, and County Durham.
9 The story follows a London gangster, the eponymous Jack Carter (Caine), who travels back to his hometown to discover more about the events surrounding his brother Frank's supposedly-accidental death.
10 Suspecting foul play, he investigates and interrogates, getting a feel for the city and its hardened-criminal element; with vengeance on his mind, the situation builds to a violent conclusion.
11 Caine and Hodges had ambitions to produce a more gritty and realistic portrayal of on-screen violence and criminal behaviour than had previously been seen in a British film.
12 Caine incorporated his knowledge of real criminal acquaintances into his characterisation of Carter.
13 Hodges and cinematographer Wolfgang Suschitzky drew heavily on their backgrounds in documentary film.
14 This, combined with Hodges' research into the contemporary criminal underworld of Newcastle (in particular the one-armed bandit murder) and use of hundreds of local bystanders as extras produced a naturalistic feel in many scenes.
15 The shoot was incident free and progressed speedily, despite a one day strike by the Association of Cinematograph Television and Allied Technicians.
16 The production went from novel to finished film in eight months, with location shooting lasting 40 days.
17 "Get Carter" suffered in its promotion, firstly from MGM's problems and secondly due to the declining British film industry of the period, which relied increasingly on US investment.
18 Initial UK critical reaction to the film was mixed, with British reviewers grudgingly appreciative of the film's technical excellence, but dismayed by the complex plotting, the excessive violence and amorality, in particular Carter's apparent lack of remorse at his actions.
19 Despite this the film did good business in the UK and produced a respectable profit.
20 Conversely, US critics were generally more enthusiastic and praised the film, but it was poorly promoted in the States by United Artists and languished on the drive in circuit while MGM focused its resources on producing a blaxploitation remake, "Hit Man".
21 On its release the film received no awards and did not seem likely to be well remembered.
22 However, despite its lack of availability on home media until 1993 it always maintained a cult following.
23 Endorsements from a new generation of directors such as Quentin Tarantino and Guy Ritchie led to a critical reappraisal which saw it recognised as one of the best British movies of all time.
24 In 1999, "Get Carter" was ranked 16th on the BFI Top 100 British films of the 20th century; five years later, a survey of British film critics in "Total Film" magazine chose it as the greatest British film of all time.
25 "Get Carter" was remade in 2000 by Warner Bros. under the same title, with Sylvester Stallone starring as Jack Carter, while Caine appears in a supporting role.
26 This remake was not well received by critics in the USA and was not given a UK theatrical release.

1 Jane Eyre
2 Jane Eyre (originally published as Jane Eyre: An Autobiography) is a novel by English writer Charlotte Brontë.
3 It was published on 16 October 1847 by Smith, Elder & Co. of London, England, under the pen name "Currer Bell."
4 The first American edition was released the following year by Harper & Brothers of New York.
5 Primarily of the bildungsroman genre, "Jane Eyre" follows the emotions and experiences of its title character, including her growth to adulthood, and her love for Mr. Rochester, the byronic master of fictitious Thornfield Hall.
6 In its internalisation of the action — the focus is on the gradual unfolding of Jane's moral and spiritual sensibility and all the events are coloured by a heightened intensity that was previously the domain of poetry — "Jane Eyre" revolutionised the art of fiction.
7 Charlotte Brontë has been called the 'first historian of the private consciousness' and the literary ancestor of writers like Joyce and Proust.
8 The novel contains elements of social criticism, with a strong sense of morality at its core, but is nonetheless a novel many consider ahead of its time given the individualistic character of Jane and the novel's exploration of classism, sexuality, religion, and proto-feminism.

1 Pom Poko
2 is a 1994 Japanese animated fantasy film, the eighth written and directed by Isao Takahata and animated by Studio Ghibli.
3 Consistent with Japanese folklore, the tanuki (Japanese raccoon dogs, "Nyctereutes procyonoides") are portrayed as a highly sociable, mischievous species, which are able to use "illusion science" to transform into almost anything, but too fun-loving and too fond of tasty treats to be a real threat – unlike the kitsune (foxes) and other shape-shifters.
4 Visually, the tanuki in this film are depicted in three ways at various times: as realistic animals, as anthropomorphic animals which occasionally wear clothes, and as cartoony figures based on the manga of Shigeru Sugiura (of whom Takahata is a great fan).
5 They tend to assume their realistic form when seen by humans, their cartoony form when they are doing something outlandish or whimsical, and their anthropomorphic form at all other times.
6 Prominent testicles are an integral part of tanuki folklore, and they are shown and referred to throughout the film, and also used frequently in their shape-shifting.
7 This remains unchanged in the DVD release, though the English dub (but not the subtitles) refers to them as "pouches".
8 Also, in the English dub and subtitles, the animals are never referred to as "raccoon dogs", which is the more accurate English name for the "tanuki", instead they are incorrectly referred to as just "raccoons".

3 Pierce's fifth film is narrated by Vern Stierman who had previously narrated Peirce's 1972 film "The Legend of Boggy Creek".
4 Ben Johnson stars as Captain J.D. Morales, the fictionalized version of real-life Texas Ranger Captain M. T. "Lone Wolf" Gonzaullas.
5 Dawn Wells (Mary Ann of "Gilligan's Island") appears as one of the victims.
6 Cindy Butler (Pierce's wife at the time) plays Peggy Loomis, the trombone victim.
7 The Phantom is played by Bud Davis who later worked as stunt coordinator on films such as Forrest Gump, Cast Away, and Inglourious Basterds.
8 The film was mostly shot around Texarkana, and a number of locals were cast as extras.
9 The world premiere was held in Texarkana on December 17, 1976 before its regular run in theaters on December 24.
10 The film is somewhat loosely based on the actual crimes attributed to an unidentified serial killer known as the Phantom Killer; it claims that "the incredible story you are about to see is true, where it happened and how it happened; only the names have been changed."
11 The actual Phantom did attack eight people between February 22, 1946 and May 3, 1946 in or near the town of Texarkana, Texas, which is on the border of Texas and Arkansas.
12 Most of the murders occurred in rural areas just outside of Texarkana, in Bowie County, Texas, while the film has them occurring in Arkansas.
13 However, the general outline of the murders largely follows the reality, with mostly minor artistic license taken.
14 As in the film, the real killer was never identified nor apprehended.
15 The film is loose enough with the facts that one family member of a victim filed a lawsuit in 1978, over its depiction of his sister.
16 The fabricated facts in the film have also caused rumors and folklore to spread for generations around Texarkana.
17 The film's tagline alleges that the man who killed five people "still lurks the streets of Texarkana, Ark.", causing officials of that neighboring city to threaten Pierce over the ads in 1977; however, it remained on the posters.
18 A remake with the same name is set to be released in 2014.

12 only to be immediately rebuked by May for usurping what is traditionally a director's command.
13 He protested that the two actors had left the set.
14 "Yes", replied May, "but they might come "back"".
15 Angered by May's contentiousness during filming and editing, Paramount booked the completed film into theaters for a few days to satisfy contractual obligations, but did not give the film its full support.
16 A new version of the film — approved by May — was shown at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City for the Directors Guild of America Fiftieth Anniversary Tribute on November 17, 1986.
17 The film was also shown at the United States Film Festival in Park City, Utah ("Tribute to John Cassavetes"), on January 25, 1989.

11 The title of the film refers to the gibberish question, "Have you ever gleemed inside a cube?"
12 , that Garry Davis (GSD) asked Neil Blender in an interview in the December 1983 issue of "Thrasher" magazine.
13 In the film, Christian Slater’s character defines “gleaming the cube” as “pushing your limits to the edge.”
14 The DVD contains an easter egg; by highlighting the skateboard on the main menu, you can watch a short featurette entitled “What Does Gleaming the Cube Mean?”

1 Hamlet
2 The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, often shortened to Hamlet, is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare at an uncertain date between 1599 and 1602.
3 Set in the Kingdom of Denmark, the play dramatizes the revenge Prince Hamlet is instructed to enact on his uncle Claudius.
4 Claudius had murdered his own brother, Hamlet's father King Hamlet, and subsequently seized the throne, marrying his deceased brother's widow, Hamlet's mother Gertrude.
5 "Hamlet" is Shakespeare's longest play and among the most powerful and influential tragedies in English literature, with a story capable of "seemingly endless retelling and adaptation by others."
6 The play seems to have been one of Shakespeare's most popular works during his lifetime and still ranks among his most-performed, topping the performance list of the Royal Shakespeare Company and its predecessors in Stratford-upon-Avon since 1879.
7 It has inspired writers from Goethe and Dickens to Joyce and Murdoch, and has been described as "the world's most filmed story after "Cinderella"".
8 The story of "Hamlet" ultimately derives from the legend of Amleth, preserved by 13th-century chronicler Saxo Grammaticus in his "Gesta Danorum" as subsequently retold by 16th-century scholar François de Belleforest.
9 Shakespeare may also have drawn on an earlier (hypothetical) Elizabethan play known today as the "Ur-Hamlet", though some scholars believe he himself wrote the Ur-Hamlet, later revising it to create the version of Hamlet we now have.
10 He almost certainly created the title role for Richard Burbage, the leading tragedian of Shakespeare's time.
11 In the 400 years since, the role has been performed by highly acclaimed actors from each successive age.
12 Three different early versions of the play are extant, the First Quarto (Q1, 1603), the Second Quarto (Q2, 1604), and the First Folio (F1, 1623).
13 Each version includes lines, and even entire scenes, missing from the others.
14 The play's structure and depth of characterisation have inspired much critical scrutiny.
15 One such example is the centuries-old debate about Hamlet's hesitation to kill his uncle, which some see as merely a plot device to prolong the action, but which others argue is a dramatization of the complex philosophical and ethical issues that surround cold-blooded murder, calculated revenge, and thwarted desire.
16 More recently, psychoanalytic critics have examined Hamlet's unconscious desires, and feminist critics have re-evaluated and rehabilitated the often maligned characters of Ophelia and Gertrude.

1 The Bourne Legacy (film)
2 The Bourne Legacy is a 2012 American action thriller film directed by Tony Gilroy, and is the fourth installment in the series of films adapted from the novels originated by Robert Ludlum, and continued by Eric Van Lustbader.
3 Although this film has the same title as Van Lustbader's first "Bourne" novel, "The Bourne Legacy", the actual screenplay bears little resemblance to the novel.
4 Unlike the novel, which features Jason Bourne as the principal character, the film centers on agent Aaron Cross (played by Jeremy Renner), an original character.
5 In addition to Renner, the film stars Rachel Weisz and Edward Norton.
6 The titular character Jason Bourne does not appear in "The Bourne Legacy", because actor Matt Damon, who played Bourne in the first three films, chose not to return for a fourth film.
7 However, there are various pictures of Damon as Bourne shown throughout the film, and his name is mentioned several times.

1 Edge of Darkness

1 Don't Look Now
2 Don't Look Now is a 1973 independent British-Italian film directed by Nicolas Roeg.
3 It is an occult thriller adapted from the short story by Daphne du Maurier.
4 Julie Christie and Donald Sutherland star as a married couple who travel to Venice following the recent accidental death of their daughter, after the husband accepts a commission to restore a church.
5 They encounter two sisters, one of whom claims to be clairvoyant and informs them that their daughter is trying to contact them and warn them of danger.
6 The husband at first dismisses their claims, but starts to experience mysterious sightings himself.
7 While "Don't Look Now" observes many conventions of the thriller genre, its primary focus is on the psychology of grief, and the effect the death of a child can have on a relationship.
8 Its emotionally convincing depiction of grief is often singled out as a trait not usually present in films featuring supernatural plot elements.
9 As well as the unusual handling of its subject matter, "Don't Look Now" is renowned for its innovative editing style, and its use of recurring motifs and themes.
10 The film often employs flashbacks and flashforwards in keeping with the depiction of precognition, but some scenes are intercut or merged to alter the viewer's perception of what is really happening.
11 It also adopts an impressionist approach to its imagery, often presaging events with familiar objects, patterns and colours using associative editing techniques.
12 Originally causing controversy on its initial release due to an explicit and—for the time—very graphic sex scene between Christie and Sutherland, its reputation has grown considerably in the years since, and it is now acknowledged as a modern classic and an influential work in horror and British film.

1 The Flowers of St. Francis
2 The Flowers of St. Francis (in Italian, Francesco, giullare di Dio, or "Francis, God's Jester") is a 1950 film directed by Roberto Rossellini and co-written by Federico Fellini.
3 The film is based on two books, the 14th-century novel "Fioretti Di San Francesco" "Little Flowers of St. Francis" and "La Vita di Frate Ginepro" (The Life of Brother Juniper), both of which relate the life and work of St. Francis and the early Franciscans.
4 "I Fioretti" is composed of 78 small chapters.
5 The novel as a whole is less biographical and is instead more focused on relating extravagant tales of the life of St. Francis and his followers.
6 The movie follows the same premise, though rather than relating all 78 chapters, it focuses instead on nine of them.
7 Each chapter is composed in the style of a parable, and, like parables, contains a moral theme.
8 Every new scene transitions with a chapter marker, a device that directly relates the film to the novel.
9 When the movie initially debuted in America, where the novel was much less known, on October 6, 1952, the chapter markers were removed.
10 Included in the acting cast is Gianfranco Bellini as the narrator, who has voice-dubbed several American films for the Italian cinema.
11 Monks from the Nocere Inferiore Monastery played the roles of St. Francis and the friars.
12 Playing the role of St Francis is a Franciscan brother who is not credited, Brother Nazario Gerardi.
13 The only professional actor in the film is the prominent Aldo Fabrizi, who had worked with Rossellini before, notably in the neorealistic work, "Roma, Città Aperta."
14 Rome, Open City.
15 The film garnered international acclaim for Fabrizi.
16 He began his film career scene in 1942, and is noted for both writing and directing his own vehicles.
17 In this film, Fabrizi plays the role of Nicolaio, the tyrant of Viterbo.
18 Rossellini had a strong interest in Christian values in the contemporary world.
19 Though he was not a practicing Catholic, Rossellini loved the Church's ethical teaching, and was enchanted by religious sentiment—things which were neglected in the materialistic world.
20 This interest helped to inspire the making of the film., and he also employed two priests to work on it with him, Félix A. Morlion O.P., and Antonio Lisandri O.F.M. Though the priests contributed little to the script, their presence within the movie gave a feel of respectability in regards to theology.
21 Morlion vigorously defended Catholic foundations within Italian neorealism, and felt that Rossellini's work, and eventually scriptwriter Fellini's, best captured this foundation.

6 After viewing Lynch's version, however, television executives decided to reject it.

12 "Mulholland Drive" launched the careers of Watts and Harring and was the last feature film to star veteran Hollywood actress Ann Miller.

1 The Quatermass Xperiment
2 The Quatermass Xperiment (US title: The Creeping Unknown) is a 1955 British science fiction horror film.
3 Made by Hammer Film Productions, it is based on the 1953 BBC Television serial "The Quatermass Experiment" written by Nigel Kneale.
4 Produced by Anthony Hinds and directed by Val Guest, it stars Brian Donlevy as the eponymous Professor Bernard Quatermass.
5 Jack Warner, Richard Wordsworth and Margia Dean appear in supporting roles.
6 The plot concerns three astronauts launched into space in a rocket designed by Quatermass.
7 The spacecraft returns to Earth with only one occupant, Victor Carroon (Wordsworth).
8 Something has infected Carroon during the flight and he begins mutating into an alien organism which, if it spores, will engulf and destroy humanity.
9 When Carroon escapes from Quatermass's custody, the professor and his associates, including Inspector Lomax (Warner) of Scotland Yard, have just a few hours to track the creature down and prevent a catastrophe.
10 The screenplay, written by Richard Landau and Val Guest, presents a heavily compressed version of the events of the original television serial.
11 The most significant plot change occurs at the climax of the film.
12 In the television version, Quatermass appeals to the last vestiges of the creature's humanity and convinces it to commit suicide to save the world.
13 In the film, Quatermass kills the creature by electrocution.
14 Nigel Kneale was critical of the changes made for the film adaptation and of the casting of Brian Donlevy, whose brusque interpretation of Quatermass was not to his liking.
15 To make the film's plot convincing to audiences, Guest employed a high degree of realism, directing the film in a style akin to a newsreel.
16 The film was shot on location in London, Windsor and Bray and at Hammer's Bray Studios.
17 Carroon's transformation was effected by makeup artist Phil Leakey, who worked in conjunction with cinematographer Walter J. Harvey to accentuate Wordsworth's naturally gaunt features to give him an alien appearance.
18 Special effects, including a model of the fully mutated creature seen at the climax, were provided by Les Bowie.
19 The music was composed by James Bernard, the first of many scores he wrote for Hammer.

24 "The Quatermass Xperiment" is regarded as the first of these "Hammer Horrors".

4 Fellini has called "La Strada" "a complete catalogue of my entire mythological world, a dangerous representation of my identity that was undertaken with no precedent whatsoever."
5 As a result, the film demanded more time, effort and suffering than any of his other films, before or since.
6 The development process was long and tortuous; it was extremely difficult to secure financial backing; casting proved problematic; injuries, personnel changes and inclement weather disrupted the production schedule more than once; budget shortages constantly plagued the director and his production supervisor, forcing them to take extraordinary measures to keep going.
7 Finally, just before shooting was completed, Fellini suffered a nervous breakdown that necessitated medical treatment in order to complete principal photography.
8 Initial critical reaction was harsh, and the film's screening at the Venice Film Festival was the occasion of a bitter controversy that escalated into a public brawl between Fellini's supporters and detractors.

3 It is a remake of the 1972 film of the same name, and stars Monica Potter, Tony Goldwyn, Garret Dillahunt, and Sara Paxton.
4 The film follows the parents (Goldwyn and Potter) of Mari Collingwood (Paxton), who attempt to get revenge on a group of strangers, led by a man named Krug (Dillahunt), that have taken shelter at their home during a thunderstorm.
5 The Collingwoods discover that Krug and his group have raped and shot their daughter and left her for dead.
6 The film rights were picked up by Rogue Pictures in 2006, with the remake being the first film produced by Wes Craven's new production studio Midnight Pictures.
7 Craven, who wrote and directed the 1972 original, was interested to see what kind of film could be produced on a large budget, as the limited funds in 1972 forced him to eliminate scenes he had wanted to film to tell a complete story.
8 Alleca's original script included elements of the supernatural, which prompted the studio to reject it and bring in Ellsworth to perform a rewrite.
9 One of the elements director Iliadis wanted to avoid with this film, given its graphic nature, was turning it into torture porn — a sub-genre of horror popularized by the "Saw" franchise.
10 For Craven and Iliadis, "The Last House on the Left" primarily illustrates how even the most normal of families can be driven to evil acts if pushed too far.
11 The film was released on March 13, 2009, and took the top spot away from "Watchmen" with $5.6 million in weekend revenue.
12 "The Last House on the Left" was met with mixed reviews from critics, with Dillahunt's performance often praised and the rape sequence criticized as being too realistic to handle.

11 With King's support, Singer filmed "Apt Pupil" with McKellen and Renfro in Altadena, California, in 1997.
12 The director shortened the novella's storyline, reduced its violence, and changed the ending.
13 Singer called "Apt Pupil" "a study in cruelty" with Nazism only serving as a vehicle for the capacity of evil.
14 During the $14 million production, a lawsuit was filed by several extras who alleged that they were told to strip naked during a shower scene, but the lawsuit was determined to be without merit.

6 When this fails, she turns to psychiatry and Dr. Jeffrey Garth.
7 When his efforts fail, she kidnaps Janet, the woman Jeffrey loves, and flees with her to Transylvania in an attempt to bind Jeffrey to her.
8 She is foiled and destroyed when her jealous manservant shoots her with an arrow.
9 Ostensibly based on a short story titled "Dracula's Guest" by Bram Stoker, the film bears little or no resemblance to the original source material.
10 David O. Selznick initially purchased the rights to the story for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.
11 Selznick, probably knowing he could not legally make the film because of Universal's copyright on the original film, sold the rights to Universal.
12 After first assigning the picture to James Whale, Universal production head Carl Laemmle, Jr. finally put Hillyer in the director's chair.
13 "Dracula's Daughter" was not as successful as the original upon its release, although it was generally critically well-reviewed.
14 In the intervening decades, criticism has been deeply divided.
15 Modern critics and scholars have noted the strong lesbian overtones of the film, overtones that Universal acknowledged from the start of filming and which they exploited in some early advertising.

1 David Copperfield (2000 film)
2 David Copperfield is a 2000 film that was a joint US/Irish TV film adaptation of Charles Dickens's novel "David Copperfield".
3 It was filmed in Ireland, and broadcast on the TV Channel TNT as a Hallmark Entertainment production on December 10–11, 2000.
4 The plot follows relatively closely to that of the book, although the film highly condenses Steerforth's liaison with Emily and the Peggotty family to primarily off-screen action, as in the 1935 version, and omitting the famous "tempest" scene.
5 An extra plotline placing emphasis on the Murdstone siblings is also included, so that David is tormented by their appearance throughout his life, and eventually violently confronts them near the ending, a scene not present in the book.
6 Some scenes are simplified as well; for instance, Uriah Heep's cunning and complex embezzlement scheme from the book is changed to a very simple plotline involving stolen diamonds.
7 However, this film stresses the relationship between David, Agnes, and Uriah much more than in previous adaptations.
8 The film is generally well received by viewers and critics alike, earning a 7/10 stars from IMDB, although some viewers dislike the straying from the book's plot material, and some critics feel Hugh Dancy gave a weak performance in the title role.
9 Most criticism stems from the choice of American actors Sally Field and Michael Richards, portraying the classic roles of Betsey Trotwood and Wilkins Micawber, though Field was a last-minute replacement for Angela Lansbury.

18 The Pulitzer board recognized Bradbury "for his distinguished, prolific, and deeply influential career as an unmatched author of science fiction and fantasy."

46 He turns the camera on Wexler, asking the director to examine his own hopes and intentions for making the documentary.
47 He asserts that like the ending of books and films, "death makes sense of everything that comes before it."
48 The documentary, contrary to its title, is not a how-to guide to eternal life.
49 Rather, it is an examination of different philosophies and perspectives on life, offering viewers a glimpse into the science and commercialism in fields like funeral planning, cryonics, and anti-aging practices.
50 Meanwhile, the film challenges viewers to examine their own notions of whether to combat or accept the inevitability of aging; it is this dilemma that drives Wexler’s search both around the world and within himself, asking the question, "If you could take a pill to live 500 more years, would you?"

1 Myra Breckinridge
2 Myra Breckinridge is a 1968 satirical novel by Gore Vidal written in the form of a diary.
3 It was made into a movie in 1970.
4 Described by the critic Dennis Altman as "part of a major cultural assault on the assumed norms of gender and sexuality which swept the western world in the late 1960s and early 1970s," the book's major themes are feminism, transsexuality, American expressions of machismo and patriarchy, and deviant sexual practices, as filtered through an aggressively camp sensibility.
5 Set in Hollywood in the 1960s, the novel also contains candid and irreverent glimpses into the machinations within the film industry.
6 The book was dismissed by some of the era's more conservative critics as pornographic at the time of its first publication in February 1968, but nevertheless immediately became a worldwide bestseller and has since come to be considered a classic in some circles.
7 "It is tempting to argue that Vidal said more to subvert the dominant rules of sex and gender in "Myra" than is contained in a shelf of queer theory treatises," wrote Dennis Altman.
8 Critic Harold Bloom cites Myra Breckinridge as a canonical work in his book The Western Canon.
9 In 1974 Vidal published a sequel, "Myron".
10 In his memoir "Palimpsest", Vidal would suggest that the voice of Myra may have been inspired by the "megalomania" of Anaïs Nin's diaries.

6 Sinatra was also nominated for best actor awards by the BAFTAs and The New York Film Critics.
7 The film was controversial for its time; the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) refused to certify the film because it showed drug addiction.
8 The black-and-white film uniquely portrayed heroin as a serious literary topic as it rejected the standard "dope fiend" approach of the time.
9 It was the first of its kind to tackle the marginalized issue of illicit drug use.
10 Because it dealt with the taboo subject of "narcotics," Hollywood's Production Code refused to grant a seal of approval for the film, and it was released without the MPAA's seal of approval.
11 This sparked a change in production codes, allowing movies more freedom to more deeply explore hitherto taboo subjects such as drug abuse, kidnapping, abortion and prostitution.
12 In the end, the film received the code number 17011.
13 Director Otto Preminger had previously released a film lacking the Production Code with "The Moon is Blue" (1953).
14 He told Peter Bogdanovich why he was attracted to Algren's novel: "I think there's a great tragedy in any human being who gets hooked on something, whether it's heroin or love or a woman or whatever."
15 Frank Sinatra — who jumped at a chance to star in the film before reading the entire script — spent time at drug rehabilitation clinics observing addicts going cold turkey.
16 The script was given to Marlon Brando around the same time as Sinatra, who still harboured some anger at Brando, since the latter had beaten Sinatra for the lead role in "On the Waterfront".

5 The novel is renowned for its warmth and humor, despite dealing with the serious issues of rape and racial inequality.
6 The narrator's father, Atticus Finch, has served as a moral hero for many readers and as a model of integrity for lawyers.
7 One critic explains the novel's impact by writing, "In the twentieth century, "To Kill a Mockingbird" is probably the most widely read book dealing with race in America, and its protagonist, Atticus Finch, the most enduring fictional image of racial heroism."
8 As a Southern Gothic novel and a "Bildungsroman", the primary themes of "To Kill a Mockingbird" involve racial injustice and the destruction of innocence.
9 Scholars have noted that Lee also addresses issues of class, courage, compassion, and gender roles in the American Deep South.
10 The book is widely taught in schools in the United States with lessons that emphasize tolerance and decry prejudice.
11 Despite its themes, "To Kill a Mockingbird" has been subject to campaigns for removal from public classrooms, often challenged for its use of racial epithets.

14 Author Mary McDonough Murphy, who collected individual impressions of the book by several authors and public figures, calls "To Kill a Mockingbird" "an astonishing phenomenon".

16 It was adapted into an Oscar-winning film in 1962 by director Robert Mulligan, with a screenplay by Horton Foote.
17 Since 1990, a play based on the novel has been performed annually in Harper Lee's hometown of Monroeville, Alabama.
18 To date, it is Lee's only published novel, and although she continues to respond to the book's impact, she has refused any personal publicity for herself or the novel since 1964.

6 Basil Poledouris composed the music.
7 Ideas for a Conan film were proposed as early as 1970.
8 A concerted effort by executive producer Edward R. Pressman and associate producer Edward Summer to produce the film started in 1975.
9 It took them two years to obtain the film rights, after which they recruited Schwarzenegger for the lead role and Oliver Stone to draft a script.

14 The sets, designed by Ron Cobb, were based on Dark Age cultures and Frank Frazetta's paintings of Conan.
15 Milius eschewed optical effects, preferring to realize his ideas with mechanical constructs and optical illusions.
16 Schwarzenegger performed most of his own stunts and two types of swords, costing $10,000 each, were forged for his character.
17 The editing process took over a year and several violent scenes were cut.
18 "Conan" was a commercial success for its backers, grossing more than $100 million at box-offices around the world, although the revenue fell short of the level that would qualify the film as a blockbuster.
19 Academics and critics interpreted the film as advancing the themes of fascism or individualism, and the fascist angle featured in most of the criticisms of the film.
20 Critics also negatively reviewed Schwarzenegger's acting and the film's violent scenes.
21 Despite the criticisms, "Conan" was popular with young males.
22 The film earned Schwarzenegger worldwide recognition.
23 "Conan" has been frequently released on home media, the sales of which had increased the film's gross to more than $300 million by 2007.

8 Corman had made no previous attempt at the genre, although past and future Corman productions in other genres incorporated comedic elements.

1 The Haunting (1963 film)
2 The Haunting is a 1963 British psychological horror film directed and produced by Robert Wise and adapted by Nelson Gidding from the novel "The Haunting of Hill House" by Shirley Jackson.
3 It stars Julie Harris, Claire Bloom, Richard Johnson, and Russ Tamblyn.
4 The film, about a small group of people invited to stay at a haunted house by a paranormal investigator, is often cited as one of the most frightening films ever made.
5 Screenwriter Nelson Gidding, who had worked with director Robert Wise on the 1958 film "I Want to Live!"
6 , began a six-month write of the script after reading the book which Wise had given to him.
7 He perceived the book to be more about mental breakdown than ghosts, and although he was informed after meeting author Shirley Jackson that it was very much a supernatural novel, elements of mental breakdown were introduced into the film.
8 The film was shot at MGM-British Studios in the United Kingdom on a budget of $1.050 million, with exteriors and the grounds shot at Ettington Hall (now the Ettington Park Hotel) in the village of Ettington, Warwickshire.
9 Julie Harris was cast by Wise who found her ideal for the psychologically fragile Eleanor, though during production she suffered from depression and had an uneasy relationship with her co-stars.
10 The interior sets were by Elliot Scott, credited by Wise as instrumental in the making of "The Haunting".
11 They were designed to be brightly lit, with no dark corners or recesses, and decorated in a Rococo style; all the rooms had ceilings to create a claustrophobic effect on film.
12 Numerous devices and tricks were used in the filming.
13 Wise used a 30mm anamorphic, wide-angle lens Panavision camera which was not technically ready for use and caused distortions.
14 It was only given to Wise on condition that he sign a memorandum in which he acknowledged that the lens was imperfect.
15 Wise and cinematographer Davis Boulton planned sequences that kept the camera moving, utilizing low-angle takes, and incorporating unusual pans and tracking shots.
16 "The Haunting" is notable for its lesbian character, Theodora.
17 Although the character's sexual orientation is left ambiguous in the source novel the film makes it known subtly and it is one of the few motion pictures of that era to depict a lesbian as feminine and not predatory.
18 According to Julie Harris, however, film censors demanded that Theo never be shown to touch Eleanor, in order to keep the lesbianism less obvious.
19 Upon release on 18 September 1963, the film performed moderately at the box office and was well received, although the plot was widely criticised for being incoherent.
20 Today it has achieved cult status and is considered by many to be one of the best horror films in cinematic history, and one of the most unsettling.
21 In 2010, "The Guardian" newspaper ranked it as the 13th best horror film of all time.
22 Director Martin Scorsese has placed "The Haunting" first on his list of the 11 scariest horror films of all time.
23 "The Haunting" was released on DVD in its original screen format with commentary in 2003, and was released on Blu-ray on 15 October 2013.
24 The film was remade in 1999 by director Jan de Bont, starring Liam Neeson, Lili Taylor, Catherine Zeta Jones and Owen Wilson, but this version was panned by critics.

1 Sense and Sensibility (film)
2 Sense and Sensibility is a 1995 British-American period drama film directed by Ang Lee and based on Jane Austen's 1811 novel of the same name.
3 Actress Emma Thompson wrote the script and stars as Elinor Dashwood, while Kate Winslet plays Elinor's younger sister Marianne.
4 The story follows the Dashwood sisters – though they are members of a wealthy English family of landed gentry, circumstances result in their sudden destitution, forcing them to seek financial security through marriage.
5 Actors Hugh Grant and Alan Rickman play their respective suitors.
6 It was released on 13 December 1995 in the United States and on 23 February 1996 in the United Kingdom.
7 Producer Lindsay Doran, a longtime admirer of Austen's novel, hired Thompson to write the screenplay.
8 The actress spent five years penning numerous revisions, continually working on the script between other films as well as into production of the film itself.
9 Studios were nervous that Thompson – a first-time screenwriter – was the credited writer, but Columbia Pictures agreed to distribute the film.
10 Though she initially intended another actress to portray Elinor, Thompson was persuaded to undertake the part herself, despite the wide disparity with her character's age.
11 Thompson's screenplay exaggerated the Dashwood family wealth to make their later scenes of poverty more apparent to modern audiences.
12 It also altered the traits of the male leads to make them more appealing to contemporary viewers.
13 Elinor and Marianne's different characteristics were emphasised through imagery and invented scenes.
14 Ang Lee was selected as director, both due to his work in the 1993 film "The Wedding Banquet" and because Doran felt he would help the film appeal to a wider audience.
15 Given a budget of $16 million, Lee approached filming from different perspectives than his cast and crew before the actors grew to trust his instincts.
16 A commercial success, the film garnered overwhelmingly positive reviews upon release and received many accolades, including three awards and eleven nominations at the 1995 British Academy Film Awards.
17 It earned seven Academy Awards nominations, including for Best Picture and Best Actress (for Thompson).
18 The actress received the Best Adapted Screenplay, becoming the only person to have won Academy Awards for both acting and screenwriting.
19 "Sense and Sensibility" contributed to a resurgence in popularity for Austen's works, and has led to many more productions in similar genres.
20 It persists in being recognised as one of the best Austen adaptations of all time.

5 but the question mark is not present in the film itself or on its poster.
6 A new musical score for the film was composed in 2010 by Michael Penny.
7 The film is a docudrama about cross-dressing and transsexuality, and is semi-autobiographical in nature.
8 Wood himself was a cross-dresser, and the film is a plea for tolerance.
9 It is widely considered one of the worst films ever.
10 However, it has become a cult film due to its low-budget production values and idiosyncratic style.

7 Along the way, they are targeted by a destructive "mystery woman", Neo-Nazis, and a country and western band—all while being relentlessly pursued by the police.
8 Universal Studios, which had won the bidding war for the film, was hoping to take advantage of Belushi's popularity in the wake of "Saturday Night Live", "Animal House", and the Blues Brothers' musical success; it soon found itself unable to control production costs.
9 The start of principal photography was delayed when Aykroyd, new to film screenwriting, took six months to deliver a long and unconventional script that Landis had to rewrite before production, which began without a final budget.
10 On location in Chicago, Belushi's partying and drug use caused lengthy and costly delays that, along with the destructive car chases depicted onscreen, made the final film one of the most expensive comedies ever produced.
11 Concerns that the film would fail limited its initial bookings to less than half those a film of its magnitude normally received.
12 Released in the United States on June 20, 1980, it received generally positive reviews.

1 Blue Skies (film)
2 Blue Skies is a 1946 American musical comedy film directed by Stuart Heisler and starring Bing Crosby, Fred Astaire, and Joan Caulfield.
3 Based on a story by Irving Berlin, the film is about a dancer who loves a showgirl who loves a compulsive nightclub-opener who can't stay committed to anything in life for very long.
4 Produced by Sol C. Siegel, "Blue Skies" was filmed in Technicolor and released by Paramount Pictures.
5 The music and lyrics and story were written by Irving Berlin, with most of the songs recycled from earlier works.
6 As in "Holiday Inn" (1942), the film is designed to showcase the songs of Irving Berlin.
7 The plot, which is presented in a series of flashbacks with Astaire as narrator, follows a similar formula of Crosby beating Astaire for the affections of a leading lady.
8 Comedy is principally provided by Billy De Wolfe.
9 Joan Caulfield was the protégé of Mark Sandrich - who directed many of the Astaire-Rogers musicals - and who was originally slated to direct this film.
10 He died of a heart attack during pre-production and Stuart Heisler was drafted in to replace him.
11 Heisler wanted Caulfield replaced, but Crosby—who was having an affair with Caulfield—protected her.
12 Tap dancer Paul Draper was the initial choice to partner Bing Crosby, however, during the first week of production Draper's speech impediment and his trenchant criticism of Caulfield's dance ability led Crosby to insist on his replacement by Astaire who, then forty-seven, had already decided that this would be his final film and that he would retire, having spent over forty years performing before the public.
13 The film was billed as "Astaire's last picture" and its very strong performance at the box office pleased him greatly, as he had dearly wanted to go out on a high note.
14 The reasons for Astaire's (temporary) retirement remain a source of debate: his own view that he was "tired and running out of gas", the sudden collapse in 1945 of the market for Swing music which left many of his colleagues in jazz high and dry, a desire to devote time to establishing a chain of dancing schools, and a dissatisfaction with roles, as in this film, where he was relegated to playing second fiddle to the lead.
15 Ironically, it is for his celebrated solo performance of "Puttin' On The Ritz," which featured Astaire leading an entire dance line of Astaires, that this film is most remembered today.

1 Animal House
2 National Lampoon's Animal House is a 1978 American comedy film directed by John Landis.

4 It is about a misfit group of fraternity members who challenge the dean of Faber College.
5 The screenplay was adapted by Douglas Kenney, Chris Miller, and Harold Ramis from stories written by Miller and published in "National Lampoon" magazine.
6 The stories were based on Miller's experiences in the Alpha Delta Phi fraternity at Dartmouth College.
7 Other influences on the film came from Ramis's experiences in the Zeta Beta Tau fraternity at Washington University in St. Louis, and producer Ivan Reitman's experiences at Delta Upsilon at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario.
8 Of the younger lead actors, only John Belushi was an established star, but even he had not yet appeared in a film, having gained fame mainly from his "Saturday Night Live" television appearances.
9 Several of the actors who were cast as college students, including Karen Allen, Tom Hulce, and Kevin Bacon, were just beginning their film careers, although Tim Matheson was coming off a large role as one of the assassin motorcycle cops in the second Dirty Harry film, "Magnum Force".
10 Upon its initial release, "Animal House" received generally mixed reviews from critics, but "Time" and Roger Ebert proclaimed it one of the year's best.
11 Filmed for $2.8 million, it is one of the most profitable movies of all time, garnering an estimated gross of more than $141 million in the form of theatrical rentals and home video, not including merchandising.
12 The film, along with 1977's "The Kentucky Fried Movie", also directed by Landis, was largely responsible for defining and launching the gross-out genre of films, which became one of Hollywood's staples.
13 It is also now considered one of the greatest comedy films ever made by many fans and critics.
14 In 2001, the United States Library of Congress deemed "Animal House" "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" and selected it for preservation in the National Film Registry.
15 It was No. 1 on Bravo's "100 Funniest Movies".
16 It was No. 36 on AFI's "100 Years... 100 Laughs" list of the 100 best American comedies.
17 In 2008, "Empire" magazine selected it as one of "The 500 Greatest Movies of All Time".

1 Constantine's Sword
2 Constantine's Sword: The Church and the Jews – A History (2001) is a book by James Carroll, a former priest, which documents the role of the Roman Catholic Church in the long European history of antisemitism.
3 The primary source of anti-Jewish violence is the perennial obsession with converting the Jews to Christianity; an event which some theologians believed would usher in the Second Coming.
4 Carroll disclaims the notion that Christian anti-Judaism leads inevitably to the Shoah perpetrated by National Socialism, but he argues that Church's long history of "Jew-hatred" (his term) laid the foundation for Hitler's crimes.
5 Carroll also points out the many "turning points," as he labels them, where the Church's attitudes and actions toward Jews could have been shifted.
6 Just one example cited in the book is that of Pierre Abelard (1079–1142), the French theologian and philosopher, whose teachings, had they been accepted, would have radically changed the direction and cast of Christian dogma.
7 The book also analyzes, in detail, the actions of numerous popes and other prominent figures of Catholic Church history, especially those who advocated anti-Jewish policies and those who tried to rein in official antisemitism, including St. Augustine, Bernard of Clairvaux, Nicholas of Cusa, Innocent III, Paul IV, Pius IX, Pius XII, John XXIII and John Paul II.
8 The book's title refers to Constantine's transformation of the cross, which Carroll points out, was not a symbol used by Christians in the first three centuries of the Church's existence, into a symbolic sword infusing a spirit of violent intolerance into the development of Christianity.
9 A documentary film based on the book was shown at film festivals in August 2007.
10 Although exploring the same themes as the book, the documentary also focuses on events which occurred subsequent to the book's publication, especially the controversy surrounding evangelical proselytizing at the U.S. Air Force Academy.
11 The movie was directed by Oren Jacoby, who is also listed as a producer, and written by James Carroll and Oren Jacoby.
12 It was released by the production company, Storyville Films.

1 Yolanda and the Thief
2 Yolanda and the Thief (Technicolor) is a 1945 MGM musical-comedy film set in a fictional Latin American country, and stars Fred Astaire, Lucille Bremer, Frank Morgan, and Mildred Natwick, with music by Harry Warren and lyrics by Arthur Freed.
3 The film was directed by Vincente Minnelli and produced by Arthur Freed.
4 The film—a long-time pet project of Freed's to promote his lover Bremer's career—fared disastrously at the box office.
5 An attempt to create a whimsical fantasy, it ended up—in the words of critic John Mueller—as "egg-nog instead of the usual champagne", despite admirable production values.
6 The music is merely competent, the orchestration syrupy, Bremer's acting is poor, whereas the already fragile plot and some good comedy elements were scuppered by last-minute injudicious cutting by Minnelli.
7 It ruined Bremer's career and discouraged Astaire, who decided to retire after his next film "Blue Skies".
8 Perhaps it also vindicated Astaire's own horror of "inventing up to the arty"—his phrase for the approach of those who would set out a priori to create art, whereas he believed artistic value could only emerge as an accidental and unpremeditated by-product of a tireless search for perfection.
9 In his autobiography, Astaire approvingly quotes Los Angeles Times critic Edwin Schallert:" 'Not for realists' is a label that may be appropriately affixed to "Yolanda and the Thief."
10 It is a question, too, whether this picture has the basic material to satisfy the general audience, although in texture and trimmings it might be termed an event."
11 Astaire himself concluded: "This verified my feeling that doing fantasy on the screen is an extra risk."

1 The Canterbury Tales
2 The Canterbury Tales (Middle English: "Tales of Caunterbury") is a collection of over 20 stories written in Middle English by Geoffrey Chaucer at the end of the 14th century, during the time of the Hundred Years' War.
3 The tales (mostly written in verse, although some are in prose) are presented as part of a story-telling contest by a group of pilgrims as they travel together on a journey from Southwark to the shrine of Saint Thomas Becket at Canterbury Cathedral.
4 The prize for this contest is a free meal at the Tabard Inn at Southwark on their return.
5 After a long list of works written earlier in his career, including "Troilus and Criseyde", "House of Fame", and "Parliament of Fowls", "The Canterbury Tales" was Chaucer's magnum opus.
6 He uses the tales and the descriptions of its characters to paint an ironic and critical portrait of English society at the time, and particularly of the Church.
7 Structurally, the collection resembles "The Decameron", which Chaucer may have read during his first diplomatic mission to Italy in 1372.
8 It is sometimes argued that the greatest contribution that this work made to English literature was in popularising the literary use of the vernacular, English, rather than French or Latin.
9 English had, however, been used as a literary language for centuries before Chaucer's life, and several of Chaucer's contemporaries—John Gower, William Langland, and the Pearl Poet—also wrote major literary works in English.
10 It is unclear to what extent Chaucer was responsible for starting a trend rather than simply being part of it.
11 While Chaucer clearly states the addressees of many of his poems, the intended audience of "The Canterbury Tales" is more difficult to determine.
12 Chaucer was a courtier, leading some to believe that he was mainly a court poet who wrote exclusively for nobility.

3 The novel follows the adventures of a teenage girl and her surfing friends on the beach in Malibu.
4 The name Gidget is a portmanteau of "girl and midget".
5 Following the novel's publication, the character appeared in several films, television series and telemovies.

4 It was directed by Megan Griffiths, who co-wrote the screenplay with Richard B. Phillips.
5 The film was produced by Colin Harper Plank and Jacob Mosler through Plank's Centripetal Films production company.
6 It was inspired by the story of Chong Kim, who claims that she was kidnapped and sold into a domestic human trafficking ring in the mid 1990s.
7 In 2014, the non-profit organization Breaking Out reported that they had found Kim's story to have no basis in fact.
8 The film had its world premiere at the 2012 South by Southwest Film Festival.

1 Revengers Tragedy
2 Revengers Tragedy is a film adaptation of the 1606 play "The Revenger's Tragedy" (attributed to Thomas Middleton in the credits, following the current scholarly consensus).
3 It was directed by Alex Cox and adapted for the screen by Cox's fellow Liverpudlian, Frank Cottrell Boyce.
4 The film stars Christopher Eccleston as the revenge-obsessed Vindice, with Derek Jacobi as the evil Duke, Eddie Izzard as his lecherous son Lussurioso, Diana Quick as the Duchess, Andrew Schofield as Vindice's brother Carlo (a version of the play's Hippolito), Carla Henry as his virtuous sister Castiza, and Marc Warren and Justin Salinger as the Duchess's sons Supervacuo and Ambitioso.
5 The original play is set in a depraved Italian court, but Cottrell Boyce's screenplay relocates it to a futuristic version of Liverpool in the year 2011, following the aftermath of a natural disaster which has destroyed the southern half of Great Britain.
6 The city is a dystopia in which society is collapsing and where vendettas and the crude exercise of power are the norm.
7 Jacobi's Duke is the most powerful crime lord in the city.
8 Cottrell Boyce's script rearranges the play heavily and mixes the original Jacobean language with modern language.
9 "Revengers Tragedy" was shot and edited in Liverpool with an almost entirely local crew, including cinematographer Len Gowing, costumer Monica Aslanian, makeup designer Lesley Brennan and assistant director Kim Ryan.
10 Cox's usual production designer, Cecilia Montiel prepared a visual strategy which was executed by her co-designer Remi Vaughan-Richards.
11 The producers were Margaret Matheson (who executive produced Cox's "Sid and Nancy" for Zenith) and Tod Davies (Cox's wife, who also wrote and produced Cox's "Three Businessmen").
12 The movie's soundtrack of the same name was written and performed by Chumbawamba.
13 In 2003, it was released by the band on their independent record label, MUTT.

3 It was written and directed by Marshall Brickman.

1 Northanger Abbey
2 Northanger Abbey was the first of Jane Austen's novels to be completed for publication, though she had previously made a start on "Sense and Sensibility" and "Pride and Prejudice".
3 According to Cassandra Austen's "Memorandum", "Susan" (as it was first called) was written circa 1798–99.
4 It was revised by Austen for the press in 1803, and sold in the same year for £10 to a London bookseller, Crosby & Co., who decided against publishing.
5 In the spring of 1816, the bookseller was content to sell it back to the novelist's brother, Henry Austen, for the exact sum—£10—that he had paid for it at the beginning, not knowing that the writer was by then the author of four popular novels.
6 (Jane Austen had no public reputation as a writer during her lifetime, as all her novels were published anonymously.)
7 The novel was further revised by Austen in 1817/18, with the intention of having it published.
8 Amongst other changes, the lead character's name was changed from Susan to Catherine, and Austen retitled the book "Catherine" as a result.
9 Austen died in July 1817.
10 "Northanger Abbey" (as the novel was now called) was brought out posthumously in late December 1817 (1818 given on the title page), as the first two volumes of a four-volume set that also featured another previously unpublished Austen novel, "Persuasion".
11 Neither novel was published under the title Jane Austen had given it; the title "Northanger Abbey" is presumed to have been the invention of Henry Austen, who had arranged for the book's publication.

1 It's All True (film)
2 It's All True is an unfinished Orson Welles feature film comprising three stories about Latin America.
3 "My Friend Bonito" was supervised by Welles and directed by Norman Foster in Mexico in 1941.
4 "Carnaval" (also known as "The Story of Samba") and "Jangadeiros" (also known as "Four Men on a Raft") were directed by Welles in Brazil in 1942.
5 It was to have been Welles's third film for RKO Radio Pictures, after "Citizen Kane" (1941) and "The Magnificent Ambersons" (1942).
6 The project was a co-production of RKO and the Office of the Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs that was later terminated by RKO.
7 The unrealized production was the subject of a 1993 documentary written and directed by Richard Wilson, Bill Krohn and Myron Meisel.
8 While some of the footage shot for "It's All True" was repurposed or sent to stock film libraries, approximately 200,000 feet of the Technicolor nitrate negative, most of it for the "Carnaval" episode, was dumped into the Pacific Ocean in the late 1960s or 1970s.
9 In the 1980s a cache of nitrate negative, largely black-and-white, was found in a vault and presented to the UCLA Film and Television Archive.
10 A 2000 inventory indicated that approximately 50,000 feet of "It's All True" had been preserved, with approximately 130,045 feet of the deteriorating nitrate not yet preserved.

1 The Secret Life of Walter Mitty
2 "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" (1939) is a short story by James Thurber.
3 The most famous of Thurber's stories, it first appeared in "The New Yorker" on March 18, 1939, and was first collected in his book "My World and Welcome to It" (Harcourt, Brace and Company, 1942).
4 It has since been reprinted in "James Thurber: Writings and Drawings" (The Library of America, 1996, ISBN 1-883011-22-1), is available on-line on the "New Yorkers's" website, and is one of the most frequently anthologized short stories in American literature.
5 The story is considered one of Thurber's "acknowledged masterpieces".
6 It was made into a 1947 movie of the same name, with Danny Kaye in the title role, though the movie is very different from the original story.
7 It was also adapted into a 2013 film, which is again very different from the original.
8 The name Walter Mitty and the derivative word "Mittyesque" have entered the English language, denoting an ineffectual person who spends more time in heroic daydreams than paying attention to the real world, or more seriously, one who intentionally attempts to mislead or convince others that he is something that he is not.
9 The story had an influence on other humorists, notably "Mad" founder Harvey Kurtzman (who borrowed the story's sound effects), playwright George Axelrod (who employed Mitty-like fantasies in "The Seven Year Itch") and animation director Chuck Jones (who created a Mitty-like child character for Warner Bros. cartoons).
10 When referencing actor Errol Flynn, Warner Brothers studio head Jack Warner noted in his autobiography, "My First Hundred Years in Hollywood", "To the Walter Mittys of the world he [Flynn] was all the heroes in one magnificent, sexy, animal package".

5 Boudreaux and Binder soon learn that Binder's father has died at the hands of wealthy sportsman Emil Fouchon (Lance Henriksen) who hunts homeless men as a form of recreation.
6 The screenplay was written by Chuck Pfarrer and is based on the 1932 film adaptation of Richard Connell's 1924 short story, "The Most Dangerous Game."
7 "Hard Target" was Woo's first American film and was also the first major Hollywood film made by a Chinese director.
8 Universal Pictures was nervous on having Woo direct a feature, and sent in director Sam Raimi to look over the film's production and to take Woo's place as director if he were to fail.
9 Woo went through several scripts finding mostly martial arts films with which he was not interested.
10 After deciding on Chuck Pfarrer's script for "Hard Target", Woo wanted to have actor Kurt Russell in the lead role, but found Russell too busy with other projects.
11 Woo then went with Universal's initial choice of having Jean-Claude Van Damme star.
12 Woo got along with Van Damme during filming and raised the amount of action in the film as he knew that Van Damme was up for it.
13 After 65 days of filming in New Orleans, Woo had trouble with the Motion Picture Association of America to secure the R rating that Universal wanted.
14 Woo made dozens of cuts to the film until the MPAA allowed it an R rating.
15 On its initial release, "Hard Target" was a financial success but received mixed reviews from film critics.
16 Critics found "Hard Target" to have good action scenes but noted the weak script and poor quality acting from Jean-Claude Van Damme.

1 Witchfinder General (film)
2 Witchfinder General is a 1968 British horror film directed by Michael Reeves and starring Vincent Price, Ian Ogilvy, and Hilary Dwyer.
3 The screenplay was by Reeves and Tom Baker based on Ronald Bassett's novel of the same name.
4 Made on a low budget of under £100,000, the movie was co-produced by Tigon British Film Productions and American International Pictures.
5 The story details the heavily fictionalised murderous witch-hunting exploits of Matthew Hopkins, a 17th-century English lawyer who claimed to have been appointed as a "" by Parliament during the English Civil War to root out sorcery and witchcraft.
6 The film was retitled The Conqueror Worm in the United States in an attempt to link it with Roger Corman's earlier series of Edgar Allan Poe-related films starring Price—although this movie has nothing to do with any of Poe's stories, and only briefly alludes to his poem.
7 Director Reeves featured many scenes of intense onscreen torture and violence that were considered unusually sadistic at the time.
8 Upon its theatrical release throughout the spring and summer of 1968, the movie's gruesome content was met with disgust by several film critics in the UK, despite having been extensively censored by the British Board of Film Censors.
9 In the US, the film was shown virtually intact and was a box office success, but it was almost completely ignored by reviewers.
10 "Witchfinder General" eventually developed into a cult film, partially attributable to Reeves's 1969 death from a drug overdose at the age of 25, only nine months after "Witchfinder"'s release.
11 Over the years, several prominent critics have championed the film, including J. Hoberman, Danny Peary, and Derek Malcolm.
12 In 2005, the magazine "Total Film" named "Witchfinder General" the 15th greatest horror film of all time.

4 The film was screened out of competition at the 1986 Cannes Film Festival.
5 Upon its release on 18 April 1986, "Absolute Beginners" received immense coverage in the British media.
6 At the time, the British film industry was perceived as being on the point of collapse (with the recent failure of the film "Revolution").
7 However, the movie was panned by critics and became a box office flop.
8 Some of the criticisms included stylistic anachronisms, such as the mini-skirt and decidedly 1980s music from the likes of the Style Council and Sade, the bowdlerisation of Kensit's character (Crepe Suzette had been depicted as a promiscuous "negrophile" in the book), and the casting of Bowie, who made it a condition of his musical contribution.
9 "Absolute Beginners" has subsequently gained status as a cult movie, in part due to its soundtrack.
10 Some people compare the movie as the British equivalent of "Streets of Fire", a 1984 American movie that was a retro-stylized rock movie with a notable soundtrack, also a commercial failure.
11 The commercial failure of "Absolute Beginners" and another film released about the same time, "The Mission", led to the collapse of Goldcrest, a major British film studio.

6 Parker must stop Dr. Curt Connors as a mutated Lizard from spreading a mutation serum to the city's human population.

1 A Countess from Hong Kong
2 A Countess from Hong Kong is a 1967 British comedy film and the last film directed, written, produced and scored by Charlie Chaplin.
3 It was one of two films Chaplin directed in which he did not play a major role (the other was 1923's "A Woman of Paris"), and his only color film.
4 Chaplin's cameo marked his final screen appearance.
5 The movie starred Marlon Brando, Sophia Loren, Tippi Hedren, and Sydney Earle Chaplin, Chaplin's second son.
6 The story is based loosely on the life of a woman Chaplin met in France, named Moussia Sodskaya, or "Skaya" as he calls her in his 1922 book, "My Trip Abroad".
7 She was a Russian singer and dancer that "was a stateless person marooned in France without a passport".
8 The idea, according to a press release written by Chaplin after the movie received a negative reception, was that the story "resulted from a visit I made to Shanghai in 1931 where I came across a number of titled aristocrats who had escaped the Russian Revolution".
9 It was originally started as a film called "Stowaway" in the 1930s, planned for Paulette Goddard, but production was never completed.
10 This resulting film, created nearly 30 years after its inception, was a critical failure and grossed US$2,000,000 from a US$3,500,000 budget.
11 However, it did prove to be extremely successful in Italy.
12 In addition, the success of the music score was able to cover the budget.
13 Critics such as Tim Hunter and Andrew Sarris, as well as the poet John Betjeman and the director François Truffaut viewed the film as being among Chaplin's best works.
14 Actor Jack Nicholson is also a big fan of the film.
15 Chaplin, although unhappy with the critical and audience reaction, by the end of his life considered it his greatest film.

7 The film director presaged the loosening grip of the Soviets that came with the Solidarity Movement, though it has been acknowledged by Polish film historians that due to censorship the script languished in development hell since 1962.
8 The film extensively uses original documentation footage from the construction of Nowa Huta and other subjects of Poland's early communist era, as well as the propagandist/inspirational music of Stalinist Poland.
9 Agnieszka has trouble making the film from archival sources and museum collections and from interviews with people whose answers provide partial information on Birkut's life, but who don't seem to know about his current location or situation.
10 The authorities decide that the young student digs too deeply into the recent past and inform her that their permission to create the movie is withdrawn; her equipment and the materials she gathered are confiscated.
11 Agnieszka's father speculates that there must be a single specific reason for the authorities' fear of further disclosure and suggests that she should locate Birkut and talk to him to find out more, even if she is no longer involved in making the film.
12 With this inspiration, Agnieszka tracks down Mateusz's son, Maciej, in the Gdańsk Shipyard.
13 (Both father and son, Mateusz and Maciej, are played by the same actor: Jerzy Radziwiłowicz.)
14 Agnieszka learns from Maciej that his father died years ago.
15 The ending of "Man of Marble" leaves the death of Mateusz Birkut ambiguous.
16 In his script, Wajda had wanted to reveal that Mateusz had been killed in clashes at the shipyards in 1970, a major confrontation that prefigured the rise of Solidarity ten years later, but he was prevented by censorship.
17 In 1981, Wajda filmed "Man of Iron", a follow-up to "Man of Marble", which depicts Maciej's subsequent involvement in the Polish anti-Communist workers' movement.
18 "Man of Iron" extensively deals with Mateusz's killing in the clashes of 1970.

1 Georgia (1995 film)
2 Georgia is a 1995 American independent film starring Jennifer Jason Leigh and Mare Winningham.
3 In the film, Leigh played Sadie Flood, a punky barroom singer who has a complicated, jealous but loving relationship with her older sister, Georgia, played by Winningham.
4 Georgia is a successful, talented and well-adjusted folk music singer and a happily married mother of two.
5 Sadie is passionate but self-destructive and untalented.
6 While she seeks fame, she destroys herself through drug abuse.
7 Although the movie focuses largely on Sadie, it was apparently titled "Georgia" because Sadie defines her own identity so much through her older sister.
8 John Doe of the punk band X played a supporting role and performed as a member of Sadie's band.
9 The music in the film consisted of 13 songs which were recorded live and performed by the actors ("a risk that has paid off spectacularly in terms of emotional intensity", according to "Los Angeles Times" critic Kenneth Turan).
10 These included covers of songs by Lou Reed, Elvis Costello and, most famously, Van Morrison: in the talked-about centrepiece of the film, Sadie drunkenly performs a raw, gruelling 8½-minute version of Morrison's "Take Me Back" in a ragged Janis Joplin-style gut howl at an AIDS benefit concert.
11 It's a scene that some viewers found mesmerizing while others found it insufferable.
12 The film was a very personal project for Jennifer Jason Leigh: it was written by her mother, Barbara Turner, Leigh and Turner co-produced it themselves, and she chose as her co-star her longtime real-life friend Mare Winningham, whom she had known since the age of 13.
13 It was directed by Ulu Grosbard, a friend of her mother's.

4 The original versions had strong political overtones with discussions of Nietzsche, a Communist character and two African-American youths who are victims of racism.
5 In 1959 George Oppenheimer created a "sanitized, de-politicized rewrite" which is now the most frequently performed version.
6 In the new version, the young people are trying to save a local summer stock theatre from being demolished, not trying to avoid being sent to a work farm.
7 The sequence of the songs is drastically changed, the orchestration changed, and the dance numbers eliminated.

8 Sidney receives support in the films from town deputy Dewey Riley (Arquette), reporter Gale Weathers (Cox), and film-geek Randy Meeks (Jamie Kennedy).
9 Williamson's original script was bought by Miramax and developed under the Dimension Films label by Bob and Harvey Weinstein, who recruited Craven to direct, who in turn recruited composer Marco Beltrami to score the film.
10 This team went on to be involved in each film in the series though Williamson was forced to take a smaller role for "Scream 3", writing only a brief plot outline due to his commitments to other projects, with Ehren Kruger replacing him as screenwriter.
11 The series' violence resulted in conflicts with the Motion Picture Association of America and news media concerning censorship resulting in a reduction of violence and gore in "Scream 3" when the Columbine incident brought increased focus on the media's influence on society.
12 "Scream" became notable for its use of established and recognizable actors which was uncommon for horror films at the time, yet has since become common in part due to "Scream"s success.
13 The series has received significant critical acclaim, "Scream" being credited with revitalizing the horror genre in the late 90s by combining a traditional slasher film with humor, awareness of horror film cliché and a clever plot.
14 "Scream" was one of the highest grossing films of 1996 and became, and remains, the highest grossing slasher film in the world.
15 Its success was matched by "Scream 2" which not only broke box-office records of the time but which some critics argued was actually superior to the original.
16 "Scream 3" fared worse than its predecessors, both critically and financially, with critics commenting that it had become the type of horror film it originally parodied in "Scream".
17 It did however receive some positive response with claims that it was the perfect end to the trilogy.
18 The film series has been the recipient of several awards including a Saturn Award for Best Actress and MTV Movie Award for Best Female Performance for Campbell and Best Horror Film for "Scream".

9 The film is about the essence of art and the importance of faith and shows an artist who tries to find the appropriate response to the tragedies of his time.
10 The film is also about artistic freedom and the possibility and necessity of making art for, and in the face of, a repressive authority and its hypocrisy, technology and empiricism, by which knowledge is acquired on one's own without reliance on authority, and the role of the individual, community, and government in the making of both spiritual and epic art.
11 Because of the film's religious themes and political ambiguity, it was not released domestically in the officially atheist and authoritarian Soviet Union for years after it was completed, except for a single screening in Moscow in 1966.

10 In the late 1970s, Davis returned to the role in a musical stage adaptation that proved to be a disaster.
11 The setting was changed to the American South, with the young man transformed into an African-American college student (portrayed by Dorian Harewood) ignoring his studies in favor of football.
12 It was Miss Moffat's responsibility to help him raise his grades so he can remain on the team.
13 At this point in her life, Davis was far too old for the role and was unable to carry a tune.
14 When the pre-Broadway run opened in Boston, the show was derided by the critics, and it underwent major changes before moving to Philadelphia.

18 In a case of color-blind casting, Cicely Tyson portrayed Miss Moffat, with Peter Gallagher, Marge Redmond, and Mia Dillon in supporting roles.
19 Critics found the play hopelessly dated, and it ran for only 32 performances.
20 In 1985, however, the play enjoyed a successful revival at the Old Vic Theatre, London, starring Deborah Kerr.
21 The play is slightly vague about when it is set.
22 The script describes it as the latter part of the 19th century, but it appears to be before serious moves towards universal education in England and Wales with the Elementary Education Act 1870.

1 The Matchmaker
2 The Matchmaker is a play by Thornton Wilder.

4 John Oxenford's 1835 one-act farce "A Day Well Spent" had been extended into a full-length play entitled "Einen Jux will er sich machen" by Austrian playwright Johann Nestroy in 1842.
5 In 1938, Wilder adapted Nestroy's version into an Americanized comedy entitled "The Merchant of Yonkers", which attracted the attention of German director Max Reinhardt, who mounted a Broadway production.
6 It was a dismal failure, running for a mere 39 performances.
7 Fifteen years later, director Tyrone Guthrie expressed interest in a new production of the play, which Wilder extensively rewrote and rechristened "The Matchmaker".
8 The most significant change was the expansion of a previously minor character named Dolly Gallagher Levi, who became the play's centerpiece.
9 A widow who brokers marriages and other transactions in Yonkers, New York at the turn of the 20th century, she sets her sights on local merchant Horace Vandergelder, who has hired her to find him a wife.
10 After a series of slapstick situations involving mistaken identities, secret rendezvous behind carefully placed screens, separated lovers, and a trip to night court, everyone finds themselves paired with a perfect match.
11 The play was a success at the Edinburgh Festival in Scotland and at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane in London's West End before finally opening on Broadway on December 5, 1955 at the Royale Theatre, later transferring to the Booth to complete its run of 486 performances.
12 Ruth Gordon's performance in the title role earned her a Tony Award nomination as Best Actress; Guthrie won as Best Director.
13 The 1958 film version, adapted by John Michael Hayes and directed by Joseph Anthony, starred Shirley Booth ("Come Back, Little Sheba") as Dolly, Anthony Perkins ("Psycho") as Cornelius, Shirley MacLaine ("Terms of Endearment") as Irene, Paul Ford ("The Music Man") as Vandergelder, and Robert Morse reprising his Broadway role as Barnaby.
14 In 1964, the play enjoyed yet another incarnation when David Merrick, who had produced the 1955 Broadway production, mounted a hugely successful, Tony Award-winning musical version entitled "Hello, Dolly!"
15 , with a score by Jerry Herman and starring Carol Channing.
16 A film version of "Hello, Dolly!"

1 To Have and Have Not
2 To Have and Have Not is a 1937 novel by Ernest Hemingway about Harry Morgan, a fishing boat captain who runs contraband between Cuba and Florida.
3 The novel depicts Harry as an essentially good man who is forced into blackmarket activity by economic forces beyond his control.
4 Initially, his fishing charter customer Mr. Johnson tricks Harry by slipping away without paying any of the money he owes him.
5 Harry then makes a critical decision to smuggle Chinese immigrants into Florida to make ends meet.
6 To continue supporting his family, Harry begins to regularly ferry different types of illegal cargo between the two countries, including alcohol and Cuban revolutionaries.
7 The Great Depression features prominently in the novel, forcing depravity and hunger on the poor residents of Key West who are referred to as "Conchs."
8 "To Have and Have Not" is Hemingway's second novel to be set in the United States, following "The Torrents of Spring".
9 Written sporadically between 1935 and 1937, and revised as he travelled back and forth from the Spanish Civil War, "To Have and Have Not" is a novel about Key West and Cuba.
10 The novel is also a social commentary on the 1930s.
11 It was heavily influenced by Marxist ideology, as Hemingway was on the side of the Republicans in the Spanish Civil War as he was writing it.
12 The work got a mixed critical reception.
13 The novel consists of two earlier short stories, ""One Trip Across" and "The Tradesman's Return"", which make up the opening chapters and a novella, written later, which makes up two-thirds of the book.
14 The style is distinctly modernistic with the narrative being told from multiple viewpoints at different times by different characters.
15 It begins in first person (Harry's viewpoint), moves to third person omniscient, then back to first person (Al's viewpoint), then back to first person (Harry's again), then back to third person omniscient where it stays for the rest of the novel.
16 As a result, names of characters are frequently supplied under the chapter headings to indicate who is narrating that section of the novel.
17 Film director Howard Hawks, who adapted the novel for his 1944 film, claimed that Hemingway had told him it was his worst book, and a "bunch of junk".

4 The series narrative follows Buffy Summers (played by Sarah Michelle Gellar), the latest in a line of young women known as "Vampire Slayers" or simply "Slayers".
5 In the story, Slayers are "called" (chosen by fate) to battle against vampires, demons, and other forces of darkness.
6 Like previous Slayers, Buffy is aided by a Watcher, who guides, teaches, and trains her.
7 Unlike her predecessors, Buffy surrounds herself with a circle of loyal friends who become known as the "Scooby Gang".
8 The series received critical and popular acclaim and usually reached between four and six million viewers on original airings.
9 Although such ratings are lower than successful shows on the "big four" networks (ABC, CBS, NBC, and Fox), they were a success for the relatively new and smaller WB Television Network.
10 The show was ranked 41st on "TV Guide"'s list of 50 Greatest TV Shows of All Time, second on "Empire"s "50 Greatest TV Shows of All Time", voted third in 2004 and 2007 on "TV Guide"s "Top Cult Shows Ever" and listed in "Time" magazine's "100 Best TV Shows of All-"Time"".
11 In 2013, "TV Guide" also included it in its list of The 60 Greatest Dramas of All Time.
12 "Buffy" was also named the third Best School Show of All Time by AOL TV.
13 It was nominated for Emmy and Golden Globe awards, winning a total of three Emmys.
14 However, snubs in lead Emmy categories resulted in outrage among TV critics and the decision by the academy to hold a tribute event in honor of the series after it had gone off the air in 2003.
15 "Buffy"'s success has led to hundreds of tie-in products, including novels, comics, and video games.
16 The series has received attention in fandom (including fan films), parody, and academia, and has influenced the direction of other television series.

4 Marking the film debut for deaf actress Matlin, "Children of a Lesser God" is notable for being the first since the 1926 silent film "You'd Be Surprised" to feature a deaf actor in a major role.
5 After meeting deaf actress Phyllis Frelich in 1977 at the University of Rhode Island's New Repertory Project, playwright Medoff wrote the play "Children of a Lesser God" to be her star vehicle.

8 Enjoying the vast success of his Broadway debut, Medoff, with fellow writer Anderson, penned a screenplay adapted from the original script.
9 Though many changes were made, the core love story remained intact.
10 The film version premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 13, 1986 and was released widely in the United States on October 3 of the same year.

7 Music composed and played by Laurindo Almeida (guitar) and George Fields (Harmonica).
8 Song: "When Your Boy Becomes a Man".
9 Music by Don Powell and lyrics by Moris Erby.
10 A boy learns what it means to be a man by befriending and training a stray Basenji dog and then is forced to surrender her to its rightful owner.
11 Both readers of the story and film-goers found the boy's eventual loss of the dog unexpected.
12 Chosen for the film was My Lady of the Congo, a six-month-old Basenji puppy of Miss Veronica Tudor-Williams of Molesey, England.
13 My Lady was flown to Hollywood to be followed later by four young dogs as doubles, including her little brother My Lord of the Congo and Flageolet of the Congo, subsequently an International Champion.
14 As it was, My Lady wound up doing most of the scenes.
15 When not filming with then 13-year-old De Wilde, the dog spent all her time with him and a real attachment developed between them.
16 Unknown to theater-goers that saw boy and dog parted in the film was the fact that the written agreement that supplied the animal stated that My Lady would become the personal property of Brandon deWilde upon completion of filming.
17 The rare breed of dog was heretofore unknown to most Americans.
18 Affected by either the story, the novel or the movie, many people were inclined to become Basenji owners at this time.
19 Brennan and De Wilde would unite again for the cameras in 1965 for Disney in "Those Calloways".

6 The practicalities of shooting atop electricity pylons, not to mention insurance difficulties, meant that a safer mock-up pylon was made for the actors.
7 This proved unconvincing: Postlethwaite remarked that "I don't believe we are up there, and if you don't sell that shot you don't sell the rest of the pylons," and so some material was re-shot on real pylons after training from Electricity Board climbing experts.
8 Around the time of the film's release, the Bedford van converted for use as a camper van - dubbed "the shagging wagon" in the film - was stolen and burnt out in Sheffield.

5 After Craven's original director's cut was shown to a test audience, the audience criticized the lack of graphic, bloody violence and gore that Craven's other movies included.
6 Warner Bros. president Mark Tappin and the film's producers then demanded script re-writes and re-shoots, which included filming gorier death scenes and nightmare sequences, similar to the ones from Craven's previous horror hit, A Nightmare on Elm Street.

8 Although fans of the movie have been clamoring for the release of Craven's original version in a special edition, Warner Bros. currently has no plans to release a director's cut of the movie.

5 At US$180 million, it was one of New Line Cinema's most expensive projects ever, and its middling success in the US contributed to New Line's February 2008 restructuring.
6 The story depicts the adventures of Lyra Belacqua, an orphan living in a parallel universe on a world that looks much like our own.
7 In Lyra's world, a dogmatic ruling power called the Magisterium is conspiring to end tolerance and free inquiry.

9 Lyra discovers that Mrs. Coulter is running the Gobblers.
10 Rescued by the Gyptians, Lyra joins them on a trip to the far north in search of the missing children.
11 Before its release, the film received criticism from secularist organisations and fans of "His Dark Materials" for the dilution of the anti-religious elements from the novels, as well as from some religious organisations for the source material's anti-Catholic themes.
12 The studio ordered significant changes late in post-production, which Weitz later called a "terrible" experience.
13 Although the film's visual effects (which Weitz has called the film's "most successful element") won both a BAFTA and an Academy Award, critical reception was mixed.

1 The Man from London
2 The Man from London () is a 2007 film by Hungarian director Béla Tarr.
3 It is an adaptation by Tarr and his collaborator-friend László Krasznahorkai of the 1934 French language novel "L'Homme de Londres" by prolific Belgian writer Georges Simenon.
4 The film was co-directed by editor Ágnes Hranitzky, and features an international ensemble cast including Czech actor Miroslav Krobot, Tilda Swinton, and Hungarian actors János Derzsi and István Lénárt.
5 The plot follows Maloin, a nondescript railway worker who recovers a briefcase containing a significant amount of money from the scene of a murder to which he is the only witness.
6 Wracked by guilt and fear of being discovered, Maloin sinks into despondence and frustration, which leads to acrimony in his household.
7 Meanwhile, an English police detective investigates the disappearance of the money and the unscrupulous characters connected to the crime.
8 The French, German and Hungarian co-production of the film was fraught with difficulty and obstacles.
9 The first of these was the suicide in February 2005, days before shooting was due to begin, of the film's French producer, Humbert Balsan.
10 As the original financing of the film collapsed, the remaining producers managed to secure stop-gap funding which allowed them to shoot nine days of footage on the expensive Corsican sets, until they were shut down through legal action by the local subcontractor.
11 After many expressions of support from European film organisations, production companies and government bodies, a new co-production contract was signed in July 2005 with a revised budget and shooting schedule.
12 It then emerged that all rights to the film had been ceded to a French bank under the original production agreement, and only after further changes in the film's backers was a deal struck with the bank to allow shooting to resume in March 2006, over a year later than had been originally envisaged.
13 "The Man from London" was the first of Tarr's films to premiere in competition at the Cannes Film Festival, but despite being highly anticipated, it won no prize.
14 The French distributor blamed this on poor dubbing and a late showing, though the press were put off by the film's extended shots and leaden pace.
15 After being re-dubbed, it was shown on the international film festival circuit.
16 The critical reception to the film was divided; though reviewers spoke in glowing terms of the formidable cinematography and meticulous composition, they denounced the film's lack of compelling plot or characters and the tedium and alienation of the viewing experience.
17 Though the director's preceding films, "Sátántangó" (1994) and "Werckmeister Harmonies" (2000), had been acclaimed as masterpieces, critics concurred that "The Man from London" fell short.
18 "Variety" reviewer Derek Elley commented that the film was unlikely to reconcile the division between viewers of Tarr's films who find the director to be "either a visionary genius or a crashing bore".

3 First published in 1976 by Delacorte Press, it was initially promoted as an authentic autobiography recounting Forrest Carter's youth experiences with his Cherokee grandparents in the Appalachian mountains.
4 However, the book was later shown to be a literary hoax perpetrated by Asa Earl Carter, a white political activist from Alabama heavily involved in white supremacist causes before he launched his career as a novelist.

1 La rabbia
2 La Rabbia ("Rage") is an Italian documentary film produced by Gastone Ferranti and directed by Pier Paolo Pasolini in the first half and by Giovannino Guareschi in the second half.
3 Film producer Gastone Ferranti wanted to make a movie with the two most important Italian intellectuals of the 1960s: Giovannino Guareschi and Pier Paolo Pasolini, despite them being diametrically opposite - one a right-wing Monarchist, and the other a Communist militant, and yet branded as "heretics" by their own side.
4 The producer's goal was to make a sort of "match" where Guareschi and Pasolini gave their own answers to a single question, i.e. what was the cause of the discontent, of the fear and of the conflicts shaking the society of the time.
5 The movie, analyzing the social conflicts of the contemporary world in a strongly critical and controversial way, was made through the montage of old footage from Ferranti's "Mondo Libero" newsreels, archive material concerning different countries, pictures from art books and magazines.
6 Guareschi criticizes the degradation of art for commercial aims, and more broadly the "soulless" modernity wiping out any perspective other than materialism and, lastly, causes distrust towards the future.
7 However, as Guareschi says at the end, "This is the planet where the Son of God chose to be born, to suffer and to die as a man."
8 And for this reason "it's here, and not on the Moon, that we have to try and find the solution to our problems.
9 Because in spite of Mao, Khruschev and other trouble, this planet is still worth living on [...] and hope is greater than fear in us."
10 In his part of the documentary, Pasolini deals with the 1956 Hungarian Revolution and of the Cuban Revolution, praises progressivism, decolonization and class struggle, he takes Marilyn Monroe's death as an example to speak about the death of beauty, complains about the disappearance of the rural world and heavily criticizes industrialization, conservativism, anti-communism and the burgeoisie.
11 Part of Pasolini's film was cut to make room for Guareschi in the final cut.
12 Despite starting from opposite positions, Guareschi's and Pasolini's statements have some points of convergence, especially regarding the alienation and de-humanization in the modern world.
13 It might even seem that both turned out to be prophetic, although in a negative way.
14 The film came out in 1963, but it was withdrawn from theatres just a few weeks later.
15 The reason for this disappearance is not clear, however it might be conjectured that the victory of "reactionary" writer Guareschi was feared to cause such a scandal to bring about Ferranti's financial ruin.
16 Pasolini's half had a limited circulation in later years, while Guareschi's half disappeared completely.
17 It was not until the 65th Venice Film Festival to see Pasolini's film being brought back into the light, restored and in an "extended director's cut" version.
18 Giuseppe Bertolucci, the director of the restoration project, justified the absence of Guareschi's half by defining his statements on decolonization and on the Algerian War "intolerable".
19 At the time Bertolucci was also the head of the committee for the celebrations of the centennial of Guareschi's birth: following his declarations, he obviously had to resign.

4 All three films are based on the same premise: there is a gigantic, mechanical, cubical structure of unknown purpose and origin, made up of lots of smaller cubical rooms.
5 Each of these rooms has six doors, one on each face of the cube, which lead into adjacent, identically decorated rooms, only differing by colour.
6 Some of these rooms are "safe", while others are equipped with deadly booby traps such as flamethrowers and razorwire.
7 In some cases it is possible to detect a trap by throwing an object into the room first, although this method is not always reliable due to the trigger mechanism of certain traps.
8 In each case, a group of strangers awakens in this mysterious structure, without any knowledge of how or why they are there.
9 In order to escape from the prison, they must band together and use their combined skills and talents to avoid the traps and navigate out of the maze, while also trying to solve the mystery of what the cube is and why they are in it.
10 However, the pressure of being in the cube generally turns one of the prisoners into a homicidal maniac who preys on the others.
11 "Cube Zero" was slightly different from the first two films in that it also dealt with the people on the outside of the cube whose job it was to control the cube and oversee those within.
12 In March 2011, Lionsgate announced it was considering an additional film in the series, tentatively titled "Cube 3D".

4 While "Subject Two" as he is initially successful, he begins to experience violent seizures and excruciating pain, begging Vick to kill him or committing suicide several times.
5 Adam eventually gains complete immortality and near instantaneous regeneration, but as a consequence he loses the very sense of being alive; he can no longer feel things (including pain) and no longer can have emotions.
6 His eyes turn snow white, and, to compensate for the gradual loss of his sense of self, he becomes violent and depressed, going so far as to kill a hunter that accidentally shoots him rather than risk him exposing the project.

5 The film stars William Holden, Grace Kelly, Fredric March, Mickey Rooney, and Robert Strauss, and it also contains early film roles by Dennis Weaver and Earl Holliman.
6 Michener based his novel on actual missions flown against the railroad bridges at Majon-ni and Samdong-ni, North Korea, during the winter of 1951–52, when he was a news correspondent aboard the aircraft carriers "USS Essex" and "USS Oriskany".
7 The pilot's rescue attempt at the climax of the novel and film was a composite of a pair of unrelated rescue attempts on February 8, 1952, both in the area of Wonsan, North Korea, with the second one involving a propeller-driven Douglas A-1 Skyraider from the "Valley Forge" that had been shot down while bombing the railroad bridges at Samdong-ni.
8 However, though the shot-down aviators in the second attempt were initially listed as missing in action, they survived their ordeal, and they were captured by North Korean soldiers.
9 In the attacks against the historical bridges, the McDonnell F2H Banshee fighter-bombers (represented by Grumman F9F Panther) that are at the heart of the story did not bomb the bridges themselves, since they did not have the capability of carrying the heavy aerial bombs that were needed.
10 Instead, they carried out the perilous mission of suppressing enemy anti-aircraft fire.

6 Parts of the film make reference to the huge increase in suicides that resulted from the end of the coal industry in Britain, and the struggle to retain hope in the circumstances.

9 "Brassed Off" was particularly well received in former mining communities, who felt it accurately reflected the suffering they faced because of the decline of their industry during the years of the Thatcher and Major Conservative governments.
10 It is set during the latter period, when Michael Heseltine presided over a huge programme of pit closures, as President of the Board of Trade.
11 Audio samples from the film were used on the famous 1997 Chumbawamba record, "Tubthumper".

6 After the financial backing from Tsui Hark became problematic following the release of Woo's film "A Better Tomorrow 2", Woo had to find backing through Chow Yun Fat and Danny Lee's financing companies.
7 Woo went into filming "The Killer" with a rough draft whose plot was influenced by the films "Le Samouraï", "Mean Streets", and "Narazumono".

9 After finishing filming, Woo referred to "The Killer" as a tribute to directors Jean-Pierre Melville and Martin Scorsese.
10 "The Killer" was not an immediate success in Hong Kong, but received critical acclaim in the Western world with reviewers praising the action scenes and its over-the-top style.
11 The film became Woo's stepping stone to make Hollywood films and has been a strong influence on many directors, including Quentin Tarantino, Robert Rodriguez and Johnnie To.

1 Second Chorus

3 The film was directed by H. C. Potter and produced independently for Paramount Pictures by Boris Morros.
4 In a 1968 interview, Astaire described this effort as "The worst film I ever made".
5 Astaire admitted that he was attracted to the film by the opportunity to "dance-conduct this real swingin' outfit".
6 In an interview shortly before his death, Shaw admitted this film put him off acting.
7 Astaire and Shaw shared a striking series of personality traits in common: an obsessive perfectionism and seemingly endless appetite for retakes, profound musicality and love of jazz, personal modesty and charm, and in a late interview Shaw expressed his opinion of Astaire: "Astaire really sweat - he toiled.
8 He was a humorless Teutonic man, the opposite of his debonair image in top hat and tails.
9 I liked him because he was an entertainer and an artist.
10 There's a distinction between them.
11 An artist is concerned only with what is acceptable to himself, where an entertainer strives to please the public.
12 Astaire did both.
13 Louis Armstrong was another one."
14 The film's copyright lapsed in 1967 and it is now in the public domain, with the result that prior to its recent restoration, it has tended to circulate in seriously degraded prints.

1 Night of the Lepus
2 Night of the Lepus, also known as "Rabbits", is a 1972 American science fiction horror film based on the 1964 science fiction novel "The Year of the Angry Rabbit".
3 Released theatrically on October 4, 1972, it focuses on members of a small Arizona town who battle thousands of mutated, carnivorous killer rabbits.
4 The film was the first science fiction work for producer A. C. Lyles and for director William F. Claxton, both of whom came from Western film backgrounds.
5 Character actors from Westerns the pair had worked on were brought in to star in the "Night of the Lepus", including Stuart Whitman, Janet Leigh, Rory Calhoun, and DeForest Kelley.
6 Shot in Arizona, "Night of the Lepus" used domestic rabbits filmed against miniature models and actors dressed in rabbit costumes for the attack scenes.
7 Before its release, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) renamed the film from its original name of "Rabbits" and avoided including rabbits in most promotional materials to try to keep the featured mutant creatures a secret.
8 However, the studio itself broke the secret by issuing rabbit's foot themed promotional materials before the release.
9 Widely panned by critics for its premise, bad directing, stilted acting, and laughable special effects, the film's biggest failure was considered to be the inability to make the rabbits seem scary.
10 "Night of the Lepus" has gained cult status for its badness and was released to home video for the first time in October 2005 when it was released to Region 1 DVD.
11 It was also recently included in the lexicon of Rifftrax, the comedy troupe of Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy and Bill Corbett, former members of the "Mystery Science Theater 3000" ensemble.

5 The film was distributed by Fox Searchlight Pictures and was released theatrically in October 1999.

7 "All She Wanted", the 1996 book about the case written by Aphrodite Jones, inspired Peirce, but she chose to focus the story on the relationship between Teena and his girlfriend Lana Tisdel.
8 Many actors campaigned for the lead over the course of three years; a then unknown Swank was cast because her personality seemed similar to Teena's.

17 The release of the film was concurrent with the murder of a young gay man, Matthew Shepard, which sparked additional public interest.
18 The film was named after the song of the same name by The Cure, and a cover version of the song appears in the film.

3 Directed by Nicholas Ray, it offered both social commentary and an alternative to previous films depicting delinquents in urban slum environments.

6 In 1990, "Rebel Without a Cause" was added to the preserved films of the United States Library of Congress's National Film Registry as being deemed "culturally, historically, and aesthetically significant".
7 The story of a rebellious teenager who arrives at a new high school, meets a girl, disobeys his parents, and defies the local school bullies was a groundbreaking attempt to portray the moral decay of American youth, critique parental style, and explore the differences and conflicts between generations.

8 Eventually McTeague murders Trina for the money and flees to Death Valley.

10 Von Stroheim shot more than 85 hours of footage and obsessed over accuracy during the filming.
11 Two months were spent shooting in Death Valley for the film's final sequence and many of the cast and crew became ill.
12 "Greed" was one of the few films of its time to be shot entirely on location.
13 Von Stroheim used sophisticated filming techniques such as deep-focus cinematography and montage editing.
14 He considered "Greed" to be a Greek tragedy, in which environment and heredity controlled the characters' fates and reduced them to primitive "bête humaines" (human beasts).
15 During the making of "Greed", the production company merged into Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, putting Irving Thalberg in charge of the production.
16 Thalberg had fired von Stroheim a few years earlier at Universal Pictures.
17 Originally almost eight hours long, "Greed" was edited against von Stroheim's wishes to about two-and-a-half hours.
18 Only twelve people saw the full-length 42-reel version, now lost; some of them called it the greatest film ever made.
19 Von Stroheim called "Greed" his most fully realized work and was hurt both professionally and personally by the studio's re-editing of it.
20 The uncut version has been called the "holy grail" for film archivists, amid repeated false claims of the discovery of the missing footage.
21 In 1999 Turner Entertainment created a four-hour version of "Greed" that used existing stills of cut scenes to reconstruct the film.
22 "Greed" was a critical and financial failure upon its initial release, but by the 1950s it began to be regarded as one of the greatest films ever made; filmmakers and scholars have praised it for its influence on subsequent films.

7 The film's title song, by composer Jerome Kern and lyricist Oscar Hammerstein II, was already a classic when the movie was made and inspired the movie's title.
8 Though the song had already won an Oscar after its film debut in 1941's "Lady Be Good", it is featured much more prominently in "The Last Time I Saw Paris".
9 It can be heard in many scenes, either being sung by Odette or being played as an instrumental.
10 The film was released in 1954; however, there was an error with the Roman numerals in the copyright notice showing "MCMXLIV" (1944), meaning the term of copyright started 10 years before the film was released.
11 Thus, the normal 28-year copyright term ended just 18-years after the film was released, and MGM neglected to renew it presumably because they believed there was still 10 years left in the term.
12 The film entered the public domain in the United States in 1972.

1 Kon-Tiki
2 Kon-Tiki was the raft used by Norwegian explorer and writer Thor Heyerdahl in his 1947 expedition across the Pacific Ocean from South America to the Polynesian islands.
3 It was named after the Inca sun god, Viracocha, for whom "Kon-Tiki" was said to be an old name. ""
4 is also the name of Heyerdahl's book; the Academy Award-winning documentary film chronicling his adventures; and the 2012 dramatised feature film nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.
5 Heyerdahl believed that people from South America could have settled Polynesia in pre-Columbian times.
6 Although most anthropologists as of 2010 had come to the conclusion they did not, in 2011, new genetic evidence was uncovered by Erik Thorsby that Easter Island inhabitants do have some South American DNA, lending credence to at least some of Heyerdahl's theses.
7 His aim in mounting the "Kon-Tiki" expedition was to show, by using only the materials and technologies available to those people at the time, that there were no technical reasons to prevent them from having done so.
8 Although the expedition carried some modern equipment, such as a radio, watches, charts, sextant, and metal knives, Heyerdahl argued they were incidental to the purpose of proving that the raft itself could make the journey.
9 The "Kon-Tiki" expedition was funded by private loans, along with donations of equipment from the United States Army.
10 Heyerdahl and a small team went to Peru, where, with the help of dockyard facilities provided by the Peruvian authorities, they constructed the raft out of balsa logs and other native materials in an indigenous style as recorded in illustrations by Spanish conquistadores.
11 The trip began on April 28, 1947.
12 Heyerdahl and five companions sailed the raft for 101 days over 6900 km (4,300 miles) across the Pacific Ocean before smashing into a reef at Raroia in the Tuamotu Islands on August 7, 1947.
13 The crew made successful landfall and all returned safely.
14 Thor Heyerdahl's book about his experience became a bestseller.
15 It was published in Norwegian in 1948 as "The Kon-Tiki Expedition: By Raft Across the South Seas", later reprinted as "Kon-Tiki: Across the Pacific in a Raft".
16 It appeared with great success in English in 1950, also in many other languages.
17 A documentary motion picture about the expedition, also called "Kon-Tiki" was produced from a write-up and expansion of the crew's filmstrip notes and won an Academy Award in 1951.
18 It was directed by Thor Heyerdahl and edited by Olle Nordemar.
19 The voyage was also chronicled in the documentary TV-series "The Kon-Tiki Man: The Life and Adventures of Thor Heyerdahl", directed by Bengt Jonson.
20 The original "Kon-Tiki" raft is now on display in the Kon-Tiki Museum in Oslo.

1 Citizen Kane
2 Citizen Kane is a 1941 American drama film directed, co-written, produced by, and starring Orson Welles.
3 The picture was Welles' first feature film.
4 The film was nominated for Academy Awards in nine categories; it won an Academy Award for Best Writing (Original Screenplay) by Herman Mankiewicz and Welles.
5 Considered by many critics, filmmakers, and fans to be the greatest film ever made, "Citizen Kane" was voted the greatest film of all time in five consecutive "Sight & Sound"s polls of critics, until it was displaced by "Vertigo" in the 2012 poll.
6 It topped the American Film Institute's 100 Years ... 100 Movies list in 1998, as well as AFI's 2007 update.
7 "Citizen Kane" is particularly praised for its cinematography, music, and narrative structure, which were innovative for its time.
8 The story is a "film à clef" that examines the life and legacy of Charles Foster Kane, played by Welles, a character based in part upon the American newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst, Chicago tycoons Samuel Insull and Harold McCormick, and aspects of Welles' own life.
9 Upon its release, Hearst prohibited mention of the film in any of his newspapers.
10 Kane's career in the publishing world is born of idealistic social service, but gradually evolves into a ruthless pursuit of power.
11 Narrated principally through flashbacks, the story is told through the research of a newsreel reporter seeking to solve the mystery of the newspaper magnate's dying word: "Rosebud".
12 After his success in the theatre with his Mercury Players, and his controversial 1938 radio broadcast of "The War of the Worlds" on "The Mercury Theatre on the Air", Welles was courted by Hollywood.
13 He signed a contract with RKO Pictures in 1939.
14 Unusual for an untried director, he was given the freedom to develop his own story, to use his own cast and crew, and to have final cut privilege.
15 Following two abortive attempts to get a project off the ground, he wrote the screenplay for "Citizen Kane", collaborating on the effort with Herman Mankiewicz.
16 Principal photography took place in 1940 and the film received its American release in 1941.
17 While a critical success, "Citizen Kane" failed to recoup its costs at the box office.
18 The film faded from view after its release but was subsequently returned to the fore when it was praised by such French critics as Jean-Paul Sartre and André Bazin and given an American revival in 1956.
19 The film was released on Blu-ray Disc on September 13, 2011, for a special 70th anniversary edition.

9 "Not a fictional character but me, and that I was expressing hostility towards my audience.

8 The trial depicted in the film was part of the Subsequent Nuremberg Trials (formally the Trials of War Criminals before the Nuremberg Military Tribunals), a series of twelve U.S. military tribunals, held after World War II from 1946 to 1949 in the Palace of Justice, Nuremberg, that tried surviving members of the military, political, and economic leadership of Nazi Germany for war crimes following the Trial of the Major War Criminals before the International Military Tribunal (IMT).
9 The film focuses on the trial of certain judges who served before and during the Nazi regime in Germany, and who either passively, actively, or in a combination of both, embraced and enforced laws that led to judicial acts of sexual sterilization and to the imprisonment and execution of people for their religions, racial or ethnic identities, political beliefs and even their physical handicaps or disabilities.
10 The film was inspired by the Judges' Trial before the Nuremberg Military Tribunal in 1947, which resulted in four of the defendants being sentenced to life in prison.
11 A key thread in the film's plot involves a "race defilement" trial known as the "Feldenstein case."
12 In this fictionalized case, based on the real life Katzenberger Trial, an elderly non-"Aryan" Jewish man was tried for having a "relationship" (sexual acts) with an Aryan (German) woman.
13 An act that had been legally defined as a "crime" under the Nuremberg Laws, which had been enacted by the German Reichstag.
14 Under these laws the man was found guilty and was put to death in 1935.
15 Using this and other examples, the movie explores individual conscience, responsibility in the face of unjust laws, and behavior during a time of widespread societal immorality.

3 As the character's names suggest, "Nadja" is a vampire film, but treating elements of the genre in an understated arthouse style.

1 Accattone
2 Accattone is a 1961 Italian drama film written and directed by Pier Paolo Pasolini.
3 Despite being filmed from an original screenplay, academics perceive "Accattone" as a cinematic rendition of Pasolini's earlier novels, particularly "Boys of Life" and "A Violent Life".
4 It is Pasolini's first film as director, employing what would later be seen as trademark Pasolini characteristics; a cast of non-professional actors hailing from where the movie is set, and thematic emphasis on impoverished individuals.
5 While many people were surprised by Pasolini's shift from literature to film, he had considered attending the Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia in Rome before WWII.
6 Pasolini had cooperated with Federico Fellini on "Le notti di Cabiria" and considered cinema to be writing with reality.
7 The word "Accattone" is a slang term mainly used for beggars, referring to people who never do well, who are lazy, and who rarely hold down a job.
8 Accattone is a story of pimps, prostitutes and thieves, the same topic as his novels.
9 Peasant culture is celebrated, in contrast to Italy's postwar economic reforms.
10 Pasolini’s choice of topics was scandalous, as was his blurring of the lines between the sacred and the profane.
11 Although Pasolini tried to distance himself from neorealism, the film is considered to be a kind of second neorealism, with one critic believing it "may be the grimmest movie" he'd ever seen.

5 The play was adapted for a movie in 1985, starring Jane Fonda, Anne Bancroft and Meg Tilly.
6 The stage play contains a great deal more dialogue than the film and relies solely on the three main characters: Martha, the Psychiatrist; the Mother Superior; and Agnes, the Novice.
7 There are no other characters on stage.
8 All three roles are considered demanding for the actors playing them.
9 Martha covers the full gamut of emotion during the play, from nurturer to antagonist, from hard nosed court psychiatrist and atheist to faith-searching healer.
10 She is always on stage and has only three small respites from monologues or dialogue while Agnes and the Mother Superior enact flashbacks to events at the convent.
11 The Mother Superior must expound the possibilities of miracles while recognizing the realities of today's world, of which she is painfully aware.
12 Agnes is a beautiful but tormented soul whose abusive upbringing has affected her ability to think rationally.
13 The play has enjoyed a revival among non-Catholic women's groups, who believe it examines important moral and spiritual issues that women must face.
14 The issues raised by the real-life incident are just as compelling, though less dramatic.

1 Sorcerer (film)
2 Sorcerer is a 1977 American existential thriller film directed and produced by William Friedkin and starring Roy Scheider, Bruno Cremer, Francisco Rabal, and Amidou.
3 The second adaptation of 's 1950 French novel "Le Salaire de la peur", it has been widely considered a remake of the first adaptation; the 1953 film "The Wages of Fear;" however, Friedkin himself has disagreed with this notion.
4 The plot has four outcasts of varied backgrounds meeting in a South American village, where they are assigned as truck drivers to transport cargos of nitroglycerin.
5 "Sorcerer" was originally conceived as a side-project to Friedkin's next major film, "The Devil's Triangle", with a modest US$2.5 million budget.
6 The director later opted for a bigger production, which he thought would become his legacy.
7 The cost of "Sorcerer" was earmarked at $15 million, escalating to $22 million following a troubled production with various filming locations—primarily in the Dominican Republic—and conflicts between Friedkin and his crew.
8 The film expenses required a co-production by two major film studios, Universal Pictures and Paramount Pictures, with the former handling the U.S. distribution and the latter being responsible for the international release.
9 The film gained mixed to negative critical reception upon its release.
10 Its domestic (including rentals) and worldwide gross of $5.9 million and $9 million respectively did not recoup its costs.
11 A considerable number of critics as well as the director himself attributed the film's commercial failure to the fact it was released at roughly the same time as "", which instantly became a pop-culture phenomenon.
12 Some observers consider the success of "Star Wars" and the box-office failure of "Sorcerer" to be a starting point in the decline of the New Hollywood cinema movement and the beginning of a blockbuster-oriented era.
13 In recent times, the film has enjoyed a resurgence of critical acclaim as several critics laud it as an overlooked masterpiece, perhaps "the last undeclared [one] of the American '70s."
14 Director William Friedkin considers "Sorcerer" the favorite of his works, as well as the most personal and difficult film he has ever made.
15 Tangerine Dream's Electronic music score was also acclaimed, leading the band to become popular soundtrack composers in the 1980s.
16 After a lengthy lawsuit filed against Universal Studios and Paramount, Friedkin started supervising a digital restoration of "Sorcerer", with the new print premiered at the 70th Venice International Film Festival on August 29, 2013.
17 Its remastered home video release on Blu-ray came out on April 22, 2014.

1 Born to Dance
2 Born to Dance (1936) is an American musical film starring Eleanor Powell and James Stewart, released by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, and directed by Roy Del Ruth.
3 The film stars dancer Eleanor Powell and was a follow-up to her successful debut in "Broadway Melody of 1936".
4 The plot of "Born to Dance" is not much different from the earlier film, or many others of the era—boy meets girl, boy and girl fall in love, girl puts on a spectacular song-and-dance show.
5 The film co-stars James Stewart as Powell's love interest and Virginia Bruce as the film's resident femme fatale and Powell's rival.
6 Powell's "Broadway Melody" co-stars Buddy Ebsen and Frances Langford return to provide comedy and musical support.
7 The score was composed by Cole Porter.
8 Highlights of the film include a rare musical number by Stewart (which the actor later poked fun at in the "That's Entertainment!"
9 retrospective), and a bombastic finale called "Swingin' the Jinx Away".
10 Set amidst a pre-Second World War naval backdrop, the Depression-era "feel good" number (which runs nearly 10 minutes) makes topical references to the economy and political leaders (with a "shout out" to Cab Calloway thrown in for good measure) sung by Powell, adds in an eccentric dance routine by Ebsen, and ends in a flurry of tap dancing by Powell culminating in a patriotic salute, and finally a blast of cannon fire.
11 This finale was also lifted in its entirety and re-used in another Powell film, I Dood It, co-starring Red Skelton.
12 Although considered one of Powell's (and MGM's) most memorable musical numbers, and often featured in retrospectives such as "That's Entertainment!"
13 , musical director Roger Edens was often quoted as being embarrassed by the segment.
14 The film introduced the Porter standards "You'd Be So Easy to Love" (performed by Stewart and Marjorie Lane, dubbed for Powell) and "I've Got You Under My Skin" (performed by Bruce), which was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Song.
15 It was the first film in which Stewart sang.
16 Some of the musical numbers were recorded in stereophonic sound, making this one of the first films to utilize multi-channel technology.
17 Rhino Records included the stereo tracks in its soundtrack album, released on CD, including Jimmy Stewart's and Marjorie Lane's performance of "You'd Be So Easy to Love."

7 It is shot with 16mm film with much of it filmed using a steadicam and features a series of tracking shots, a technique the director used regularly.
8 The grainy 16mm film, together with the lack of dialogue, plot, narrative and music give the film a cold, observational documentary feel.
9 Nothing is learnt about any of the gunmen or victims.
10 Each of the murders are carried out calmly and casually; in one scene the gunman is seen to drive away slowly, even stopping to give way for traffic.
11 The victims are shown for several seconds in a static shot of the body.
12 As with several of Clarke's films, "Elephant" received high praise and attracted controversy.
13 After watching the film, Clarke's contemporary David Leland wrote: "I remember lying in bed, watching it, thinking, 'Stop, Alan, you can't keep doing this.'
14 And the cumulative effect is that you say, 'It's got to stop.
15 The killing has got to stop.'
16 Instinctively, without an intellectual process, it becomes a gut reaction."
17 The film is a clear influence on Gus Van Sant's 2003 film "Elephant", based on the Columbine High School Massacre.
18 Van Sant's film borrowed not only Clarke's title, but also closely mirrors his minimalist style.

1 Halloween (1978 film)
2 Halloween is a 1978 American independent slasher horror film directed and scored by John Carpenter, co-written with producer Debra Hill, and starring Donald Pleasence and Jamie Lee Curtis in her film debut.
3 The film was the first installment in what became the "Halloween" franchise.
4 The plot is set in the fictional Midwestern town of Haddonfield, Illinois.
5 On Halloween night in 1963, a six-year-old Michael Myers murders his older sister by stabbing her with a kitchen knife.
6 Fifteen years later, he escapes from a psychiatric hospital, returns home, and stalks teenager Laurie Strode and her friends.
7 Michael's psychiatrist Dr. Sam Loomis suspects Michael's intentions, and follows him to Haddonfield to try to prevent him from killing.
8 "Halloween" was produced on a budget of $325,000 and grossed $47 million at the box office in the United States, and $70 million worldwide, equivalent to $250 million as of 2014, becoming one of the most profitable independent films.
9 Many critics credit the film as the first in a long line of slasher films inspired by Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho" (1960).
10 "Halloween" had many imitators and originated several clichés found in low-budget horror films of the 1980s and 1990s.
11 Unlike many of its imitators, "Halloween" contains little graphic violence and gore.
12 In 2006, it was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
13 Some critics have suggested that "Halloween" may encourage sadism and misogyny by identifying audiences with its villain.
14 Other critics have suggested the film is a social critique of the immorality of youth and teenagers in 1970s America, with many of Myers's victims being sexually promiscuous substance abusers, while the lone heroine is depicted as innocent and pure, hence her survival.
15 Nevertheless, Carpenter dismisses such analyses.
16 Several of "Halloween"s techniques and plot elements, although not founded in this film, have nonetheless become standard slasher movie tropes.

1 Leave It to Beaver
2 Leave It to Beaver is an American television situation comedy about an inquisitive and often naïve boy named Theodore "The Beaver" Cleaver (portrayed by Jerry Mathers) and his adventures at home, in school, and around his suburban neighborhood.
3 The show also starred Barbara Billingsley and Hugh Beaumont as Beaver's parents, June and Ward Cleaver, and Tony Dow as Beaver's brother Wally.
4 The show has attained an iconic status in the US, with the Cleavers exemplifying the idealized suburban family of the mid-20th century.
5 The show was created by writers Joe Connelly and Bob Mosher.
6 These veterans of radio and early television found inspiration for the show's characters, plots, and dialogue in the lives, experiences, and conversations of their own children.
7 "Leave It to Beaver" is one of the first primetime sitcom series written from a child's point of view.
8 Like several television dramas and sitcoms of the late 1950s and early 1960s ("Lassie" and "My Three Sons", for example), "Leave It to Beaver" is a glimpse at middle-class, white American boyhood.
9 In a typical episode Beaver got into some sort of trouble, then faced his parents for reprimand and correction.
10 However, neither parent was omniscient; indeed, the series often showed the parents debating their approach to child rearing, and some episodes were built around parental gaffes.
11 With six full 39-week seasons (234 episodes), the show had its debut on CBS on October 4, 1957 (the day the Soviets launched Sputnik), and then moved to ABC the following year, completing its run on June 20, 1963.
12 During the whole of the show's run, the series was shot with a single camera on black-and-white 35mm film.
13 The show's production companies included comedian George Gobel's Gomalco Productions (1957–1961) and Kayro Productions (1961–1963) with filming at Revue Studios/Republic Studios and Universal Studios in Los Angeles, California.
14 The show was distributed by MCA TV.
15 The still-popular show ended its run in 1963 primarily because it had reached its natural conclusion: In the show, Wally was about to enter college and the brotherly dynamic -- at the heart of the show's premise -- would be broken with their separation.
16 Also, the show's stars wanted to move on.
17 Jerry Mathers was entering his freshman year in high school and actor Tony Dow was about to graduate from high school.
18 Contemporary commentators praised "Leave It to Beaver", with "Variety" comparing Beaver to Mark Twain's Tom Sawyer.
19 Much juvenile merchandise was released during the show's first-run including board games, novels, and comic books.
20 The show has enjoyed a renaissance in popularity since the 1970s through off-network syndication, a reunion telemovie, "Still the Beaver" (1983), and a sequel series "The New Leave It to Beaver" (1985–89).
21 In 1997, a movie version based on the original series was released to moderate acclaim, and, in October 2007, TV Land celebrated the show's 50th anniversary with a marathon.
22 Although the show never broke into the Nielsen ratings top-30 nor won any awards, it placed on "TIME" magazine's unranked 2007 list of "The 100 Best TV Shows of all-time."
23 According to Tony Dow, "if any line got too much of a laugh, they'd take it out.
24 They didn't want a big laugh; they wanted chuckles."

1 Minority Report (film)
2 Minority Report is a 2002 American neo-noir science fiction thriller film directed by Steven Spielberg and loosely based on the short story of the same name by Philip K. Dick.
3 It is set primarily in Washington, D.C., and Northern Virginia in the year 2054, where "PreCrime", a specialized police department, apprehends criminals based on foreknowledge provided by three psychics called "precogs".
4 The cast includes Tom Cruise as PreCrime Captain John Anderton, Colin Farrell as Department of Justice agent Danny Witwer, Samantha Morton as the senior precog Agatha, and Max von Sydow as Anderton's superior Lamar Burgess.
5 The film is a combination of whodunit, thriller and science fiction.
6 Spielberg has characterized the story as "fifty percent character and fifty percent very complicated storytelling with layers and layers of murder mystery and plot".
7 The film's central theme is the question of free will versus determinism.
8 It examines whether free will can exist if the future is set and known in advance.
9 Other themes include the role of preventive government in protecting its citizenry, the role of media in a future state where electronic advancements make its presence nearly boundless, the potential legality of an infallible prosecutor, and Spielberg's repeated theme of broken families.
10 The film was first optioned in 1992 as a sequel to another Dick adaptation, "Total Recall", and started its development in 1997, after a script by Jon Cohen reached Spielberg and Cruise.
11 Production suffered many delays due to Cruise's "" and Spielberg's "A.I." running over schedule, eventually starting in March 2001.
12 During pre-production, Spielberg consulted numerous scientists in an attempt to present a more plausible future world than that seen in other science fiction films, and some of the technology designs in the film have proven prescient.
13 "Minority Report" has a unique visual style.
14 It uses high contrast to create dark colors and shadows, much like a film noir picture.
15 The film's overlit shots feature desaturated colors which were achieved by bleach-bypassing the film's negative in post-production.
16 "Minority Report" was one of the best reviewed films of 2002.
17 It received praise for its writing, visuals and themes, but earned some criticism for its ending which was considered inconsistent with the tone of the rest of the movie.
18 The film was nominated for and won several awards.
19 It received an Academy Award nomination for Best Sound Editing, and eleven Saturn Award nominations, including Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor and Saturn Award for Best Music, winning Best Science Fiction Film, Best Direction, Best Writing and Best Supporting Actress.
20 The film was a commercial success, earning over $358 million worldwide against an overall budget of $142 million (including advertising).
21 Over four million DVDs were sold in its first few months of home release.

1 Song of Freedom
2 Song of Freedom is a 1936 British film starring Paul Robeson.
3 One of two elements pivotal to the plot is an opera composer named "Gabriel Donizetti", presumably suggested by the historical opera composer Gaetano Donizetti.
4 The other is a medallion that serves to identify Robeson's character as a descendant of an African monarch.
5 "Song of Freedom" may best represent the opportunity Robeson was looking for to "give a true picture of many aspects of the life of the coloured man in the West.
6 Hitherto on the screen, he has been characterized or presented only as a comedy character.
7 This film shows him as a real man."
8 Robeson was also given final cut approval on the film, an unprecedented option at the time for an actor of any race.
9 As in "Sanders of the River", the film called for documentary scenes of West African traditional dances and ceremonies, but this time Robeson obtained a contract giving him final cut, so that the film’s message would not be changed behind the doors of the editing room.
10 Robeson plays Zinga, a black dockworker in England with a great baritone singing voice.
11 He is discovered by an opera impresario, and is catapulted into great fame as an international opera star.
12 Yet he feels alienated from his African past, and out of place in England.
13 By chance, he is informed that an ancestral medallion that he wears is proof of his lineage to African kings, and he leaves fame and fortune to take his rightful place of royalty.
14 Reunited with his people, he plans to improve their lives by combining the best of western technology with the best of traditional African ways.
15 Although the film was not a box office success in the US, it was notably chosen in 1950 to open the convention of Ghana's Convention People's Party.
16 The ceremonies were presided over by the future first prime minister of independent Ghana, Kwame Nkrumah, Robeson's friend from his London years.

3 It was shot in late 1945 and early 1946, and was released by RKO in August 1946.
4 "Notorious" marks a watershed for Hitchcock artistically, and represents a heightened thematic maturity.
5 His biographer, Donald Spoto, writes that ""Notorious" is in fact Alfred Hitchcock's first attempt—at the age of forty-six—to bring his talents to the creation of a serious love story, and its story of two men in love with Ingrid Bergman could only have been made at this stage of his life."
6 The film is known for two scenes in particular.
7 In one of his most famous shots, Hitchcock starts wide and high on a second floor balcony overlooking the great hall of a grand mansion.
8 Slowly he tracks down and in on Ingrid Bergman, finally ending with a tight close-up of a key tucked in her hand.
9 Hitchcock also devised "a celebrated scene" that circumvented the Production Code's ban on kisses longer than three seconds—by having his actors disengage every three seconds, murmur and nuzzle each other, then start right back up again.
10 The two-and-a-half minute osculation is "perhaps his most intimate and erotic kiss".

6 However, the two do share some common aspects: the directors, some of the actors, and the setting of the Brazilian favela with its background of gangsters and poverty.
7 The programme tells the stories of Luis Cláudio and Uólace, better known by their nicknames Acerola (Douglas Silva) and Laranjinha (Darlan Cunha), respectively, who are two best friends who live in a notorious Rio slum, in a community of drug-dealers, hustlers, and teenagers struggling to fulfill their dreams.

6 While "Koyaanisqatsi" and "Powaqqatsi" examine modern life in industrial countries and the conflict between encroaching industrialization and traditional ways of life, using slow motion and time-lapse footage of cities and natural landscapes, about eighty percent of "Naqoyqatsi" uses archive footage and stock images manipulated and processed digitally on non-linear editing (non-sequential) workstations and intercut with specially-produced computer generated imagery to demonstrate society's transition from a natural environment to a technology-based one.
7 Reggio described the process as "virtual cinema".

1 Triumph of the Will
2 Triumph of the Will () is a 1935 propaganda film directed, produced, edited and co-written by Leni Riefenstahl.
3 It chronicles the 1934 Nazi Party Congress in Nuremberg, which was attended by more than 700,000 Nazi supporters.
4 The film contains excerpts from speeches given by Nazi leaders at the Congress, including portions from Adolf Hitler, Rudolf Hess, and Julius Streicher, interspersed with footage of massed Sturmabteilung and Schutzstaffel troops and public reaction.
5 Hitler commissioned the film and served as an unofficial executive producer; his name appears in the opening titles.
6 The film's overriding theme is the return of Germany as a great power, with Hitler as the leader who will bring glory to the nation.
7 Because the film was made after the 1934 Night of the Long Knives, many prominent SA members are absent, having been murdered in the purge.
8 "Triumph of the Will" was released in 1935 and became a prominent example of propaganda in film history.
9 Riefenstahl's techniques—such as moving cameras, aerial photography, the use of long focus lenses to create a distorted perspective, and the revolutionary approach to the use of music and cinematography—have earned "Triumph of the Will" recognition as one of the greatest films in history.
10 Riefenstahl helped to stage the scenes, directing and rehearsing some of them at least fifty times.
11 Riefenstahl won several awards, not only in Germany but also in the United States, France, Sweden, and other countries.
12 The film was popular in the Third Reich, and has continued to influence movies, documentaries, and commercials to this day.
13 However, it is banned from showing in Germany owing to its support for Nazism and its numerous portrayals of the swastika.
14 An earlier film by Riefenstahl—"Der Sieg des Glaubens"—showed Hitler and SA leader Ernst Röhm together at the 1933 Nazi party congress.
15 After Röhm's murder, the party attempted the destruction of all copies, leaving only one known to have survived in Britain.
16 This can be viewed at the Internet Archive.
17 The direction and sequencing of images is almost the same as that Riefenstahl used in "Triumph of the Will" a year later.
18 Frank Capra's seven-film series "Why We Fight" is said to have been directly inspired by, and the United States' response to, "Triumph of the Will".

1 Paper Lion
2 Paper Lion, published in 1966, is a non-fiction book by prominent American writer George Plimpton.
3 In 1960, Plimpton, not a professional athlete, arranged to pitch to a lineup of baseball stars in an All-Star exhibition, presumably to answer the question, "How would the average man off of the street fare in an attempt to compete with the stars of professional sports?"
4 He chronicled this experience in his book, "Out of My League".
5 To write "Paper Lion", Plimpton repeated the experiment in the National Football League, joining the training camp of the 1963 Detroit Lions on the premise of trying out to be the team's third-string quarterback.
6 Plimpton, then 36 years old, showed how unlikely it would be for an "average" person to succeed as a professional football player.
7 The book is an expanded version of Plimpton's two-part series which appeared in back-to-back issues of Sports Illustrated in September 1964.
8 The book's epilogue is also an expanded article from Sports Illustrated which appeared one year later.
9 Plimpton had contacted several teams about his idea including his hometown New York Giants and New York Titans (an American Football League team that would change their name to the New York Jets) and Baltimore Colts.
10 The Lions finally agree to host Plimpton in their training camp.
11 The coaches were aware of the deception; the players were not until it became apparent that Plimpton did not know how to receive the snap from center.
12 Despite his struggles Plimpton convinces head coach George Wilson to let him take the first five snaps of the annual intra-squad scrimmage conducted in Pontiac, Michigan.
13 Plimpton managed to lose yardage on each play.
14 Feeling confident he can do better, Plimpton hangs around training camp one more week as the team prepares for its first pre-season game against the Cleveland Browns.
15 He is sure if the Lions have a big enough lead near the end of the game, Wilson will let him play.
16 However, team officials inform Plimpton at halftime that NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle will not allow him to play under any circumstance.
17 The next day Plimpton packs up and ends his experiment.
18 Before he leaves the Lions award him a gold football that is engraved: "To the best rookie football player in Detroit Lions history."
19 The book is memorable as one of the first to showcase the personalities of the players and coaches and what happens off the field.
20 Figuring prominently in the book are linebacker Wayne Walker, quarterback Milt Plum, future Hall of Famers, cornerback Dick "Night Train" Lane and middle linebacker Joe Schmidt, and defensive tackle Alex Karras, among others.
21 However, Karras's inclusion is exclusively through the stories about him told by teammates, coaches and other team personnel.
22 Karras missed the 1963 season serving a suspension for gambling on games.
23 Prior to "Paper Lion", Plimpton had pitched to major league baseball players and sparred with boxing great Archie Moore, but the success of this book, which was later adapted into a 1968 film starring Alan Alda as Plimpton, helped launch a kind of second career for Plimpton as an everyman athlete.
24 Plimpton followed "Paper Lion" with books about golf and ice hockey, as well as two more football books.
25 In an interview with Tom Bean and Luke Poling, the filmmakers of the documentary, Plimpton!
26 Starring George Plimpton as Himself, Joe Schmidt talked about how the team reacted to Plimpton's presence.
27 "He tried to blend in with the rest of the team, but after a while you could just see that George wasn’t much of an athlete.
28 You don’t have to be a Rhodes Scholar to figure that one out.
29 You’re in training camp and you’re all pretty good football players, and George comes along, and he’s sort of emaciated looking, you know he’s not too physical of a specimen.
30 And he couldn’t throw the ball more than 15 yards."

7 Yankee teammates Babe Ruth, Bob Meusel, Mark Koenig, and Bill Dickey play themselves, as does sportscaster Bill Stern.
8 The film was adapted by Herman J. Mankiewicz, Jo Swerling, and an uncredited Casey Robinson from a story by Paul Gallico, and received 11 Academy Award nominations.
9 Its climax is a re-enactment of Gehrig's poignant 1939 farewell speech at Yankee Stadium.

2 Chimes at Midnight (UK release: Falstaff, Spanish release: Campanadas a medianoche), is a 1966 English language Spanish-Swiss co-produced film directed by and starring Orson Welles.
3 The film's plot centers on William Shakespeare's recurring character Sir John Falstaff and the father-son relationship he has with Prince Hal, who must choose between loyalty to Falstaff or to his father, King Henry IV.
4 Welles said that the core of the film's story was "the betrayal of friendship."
5 It stars Welles as Falstaff, Keith Baxter as Prince Hal, John Gielgud as Henry IV, Jeanne Moreau as Doll Tearsheet and Margaret Rutherford as Mistress Quickly.
6 The script contains text from five of Shakespeare's plays; primarily "Henry IV, Part 1" and "Henry IV, Part 2", but also "Richard II", "Henry V", and uses some dialogue from "The Merry Wives of Windsor".
7 Ralph Richardson's narration is taken from the works of chronicler Raphael Holinshed.
8 Welles had previously produced a Broadway stage adaptation of nine Shakespeare plays called "Five Kings" in 1939.
9 In 1960, he revived this project in Ireland as "Chimes at Midnight", which was his final on-stage performance.
10 Neither of these plays were successful, but Welles considered portraying Falstaff to be his life's ambition and turned the project into a film.
11 Throughout its production, Welles struggled to find financing and at one point, to get money, he lied to producer Emiliano Piedra about intending to make a version of "Treasure Island".
12 Welles shot "Chimes at Midnight" throughout Spain between 1964 and 1965, and premiered it at the 1966 Cannes Film Festival, where it won two awards.
13 Initially dismissed by most film critics, "Chimes at Midnight" is now regarded as one of Welles' greatest achievements, and Welles himself called it his best work.
14 Welles felt a strong connection to the character of Falstaff and called him "Shakespeare's greatest creation".
15 Some film scholars and Welles's collaborators have made comparisons between Falstaff and Welles, while others see a resemblance between Falstaff and Welles's father.
16 The ownership of "Chimes at Midnight" is currently in dispute, making it difficult to view the film legally.

2 Prometheus ( ) is a 2012 science fiction film directed by Ridley Scott, written by Jon Spaihts and Damon Lindelof, and starring Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, Guy Pearce, Idris Elba, Logan Marshall-Green, and Charlize Theron.
3 It is set in the late 21st century and centers on the crew of the spaceship "Prometheus" as it follows a star map discovered among the artifacts of several ancient Earth cultures.
4 Seeking the origins of humanity, the crew arrives on a distant world and discovers a threat that could cause the extinction of the human race.
5 Development of the film began in the early 2000s as a fifth installment in the "Alien" franchise.
6 Scott and director James Cameron developed ideas for a film that would serve as a prequel to Scott's 1979 science-fiction horror film "Alien".
7 By 2003, the development of "Alien vs. Predator" took precedence, and the project remained dormant until 2009 when Scott again showed interest.
8 Spaihts wrote a script for a prequel to the events of the "Alien" films, but Scott opted for a different direction to avoid repeating cues from those films.
9 In late 2010, Lindelof joined the project to rewrite Spaihts's script, and he and Scott developed a story that precedes the story of "Alien" but is not directly connected to that franchise.
10 According to Scott, although the film shares "strands of "Alien"s DNA, so to speak", and takes place in the same universe, "Prometheus" explores its own mythology and ideas.
11 "Prometheus" entered production in April 2010, with extensive design phases during which the technology and creatures that the film required were developed.
12 Principal photography began in March 2011, with an estimated US$120–130 million budget.
13 The project was shot using 3D cameras throughout, almost entirely on practical sets, and on location in England, Iceland, Spain, and Scotland.
14 It was promoted with a marketing campaign that included viral activities on the web.
15 Three videos featuring the film's leading actors in character, which expanded on elements of the fictional universe, were released and met with a generally positive reception and awards.
16 "Prometheus" was released on June 1, 2012, in the United Kingdom and on June 8, 2012, in North America.
17 It grossed over $403 million worldwide.
18 Reviews praised both the film's visual aesthetic design and the acting, most notably Fassbender's performance as the android David.
19 However, the plot drew a mixed response from critics, who criticized plot elements that remained unresolved or were predictable.

4 Conflicts arise between the man and his former gang, as well as between the team stringing the wires and the Native Americans through whose land the new lines must run.
5 In this regard, the film is not historically accurate; the installation of telegraph wires was met with protest from no one.
6 The film is based on the novel "Western Union" by Zane Grey, although there are significant differences between the two plots.
7 "Western Union" was only the second western made by Lang, "The Return of Frank James" being the first in 1940.
8 Both movies explore the conflicts and obstacles of former criminals trying to return to law-abiding society.

1 Thunderbird 6
2 Thunderbird 6 is a 1968 British science-fiction adventure film written by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson, directed by David Lane and produced by Century 21 Cinema.
3 A sequel to 1966's "Thunderbirds Are Go", it was the second film to be adapted from the 1960s television series "Thunderbirds", which combined scale models and special effects with marionette puppet characters in a filming process that the Andersons termed "Supermarionation".
4 Intended to provide a lighter-hearted cinematic experience to contrast with the harder science of "Thunderbirds Are Go", the Andersons elected to base the plot of "Thunderbird 6" on "Skyship One", a futuristic airship that is the latest project of the scientist Brains.
5 Alan, Tin-Tin, Lady Penelope and Parker represent International Rescue on "Skyship One"'s round-the-world maiden flight, unaware that criminal mastermind The Hood is once again plotting to acquire the secrets of the "Thunderbird" machines.
6 Paid agents of The Hood murder the original crew of "Skyship One" prior to take-off and assume their identities, entertaining the guests while scheming to lure the Tracy brothers into a trap.
7 Meanwhile, Brains' efforts to produce a satisfactory design concept for Jeff's proposed "Thunderbird 6" collide with fate when "Skyship One" is damaged and Alan's old Tiger Moth biplane appears to be the only hope of saving the International Rescue group and their impostor hosts.
8 Actors John Carson and Geoffrey Keen provide guest speaking roles, with additions to the regular voice cast in the form of Keith Alexander and Gary Files.
9 The design of the puppets that appear in "Thunderbird 6" marks a transition between the caricatures that Century 21 had used up to "Thunderbirds Are Go" and the realism introduced in "Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons".
10 Filming ran from May to December 1967, and the art and special effects departments collaborated to realise "Skyship One" as both a miniature model and a collection of themed interior designs.
11 A number of sequences of the Tiger Moth in flight were filmed on location with a full-sized stunt plane, but a legal dispute with the Ministry of Transport regarding alleged dangerous flying by pilot Joan Hughes forced the production team to film the remaining shots in-studio with scale replicas.
12 Released in July 1968, "Thunderbird 6" had a mediocre reception at the box office, which ruled out the production of further sequels in the "Thunderbirds" film series.
13 Critical response has remained mixed: although the special effects have been praised, commentators are divided on the quality of the plotting, which is considered either well-paced and concluding on a note of high action, or confusing and inordinately long, with little visual spectacle to contrast with the dialogue.
14 Nevertheless, "Thunderbird 6" is viewed favourably in comparison to Jonathan Frakes' 2004 film adaptation, receiving praise for the perceived agelessness of its entertainment value.

1 Burden of Dreams
2 Burden of Dreams (1982) is a feature-length documentary and making-of directed by Les Blank, shot during and about the chaotic production of Werner Herzog's 1982 film "Fitzcarraldo", filmed in the jungles of South America.
3 The film poster was created by Montana artist Monte Dolack and Eduardo Sanguinetti.
4 Due to his use of long, uninterrupted takes, his rejection of scripting set pieces and his films’ tendency to document without making overt arguments through narration, dramatic reinterpretation or other techniques, Les Blank’s work has often been tied to the cinema vérité documentary movement.
5 Blank himself has denied Burden of Dreams’ connections to cinema vérité.
6 In a 2011 interview with Ben Terrall for the website El Cerrito Patch, Blank discusses a film he is making about the vérité director Richard Leacock and says that Leacock argued that Blank was not a vérité director.
7 Terrall writes that “Leacock criticized Blank for using lights and a tripod, but Blank said he [was] interested in using whatever tools [could] make his films better."
8 Blank is quoted in the article as saying he is “sympathetic” to cinema vérité, but is not a purist.
9 Also contradicting Blank's classification as a vérité practitioner is his decision to have Herzog repeat statements he made off-camera while being filmed.
10 In a 2009 interview with Jesse Pearson for Vice Magazine, Blank is asked to recall a scene in the film in which Herzog delivers a monologue about the violence and destruction of the jungle around him.
11 Blank says that the scene originally took place in the middle of a canoe ride, away from cameras, but he liked the speech enough to coax it out of Herzog again.
12 “When the moment was right,” Blank told Vice, “I pulled him aside and said, ‘Can I do a little interview?’
13 And he said, ‘Sure.’
14 Goodwin led him around to something that sparked him off on that tangent again.
15 That’s how we got the speech."
16 The film received the 1983 British Academy Film Award for Best Documentary and was named Best of Festival at the San Francisco Film Festival the same year.

6 This theme would become a movie staple following the Watergate scandal a few years later, for example, the 1974 film "The Conversation".

2 Born American (Finnish: Jäätävä polte; UK title: Arctic Heat) is a 1986 film directed by Renny Harlin.

5 A Finnish production, this was at that time the most expensive film ever to have been made in Finland.
6 The Finnish Board of Film Classification first banned the movie, because of excessive violence and anti-Soviet elements.
7 Because of that the movie had to be shortened 3.5 minutes before it was finally accepted for distribution October 29, 1986 with the Supreme Court decision.
8 The premiere was December 19, 1986.
9 The success of the film in the United States allowed Harlin to get his foot in the door in Hollywood.

1 Carmen
2 Carmen is an opera in four acts by the French composer Georges Bizet.
3 The libretto was written by Henri Meilhac and Ludovic Halévy, based on a novella of the same title by Prosper Mérimée.
4 The opera was first performed at the Opéra-Comique in Paris, on 3 March 1875, and at first was not particularly successful.
5 Its initial run extended to 36 performances, before the conclusion of which Bizet died suddenly, and thus knew nothing of the opera's later celebrity.
6 The opera, written in the genre of "opéra comique" with musical numbers separated by dialogue, tells the story of the downfall of Don José, a naïve soldier who is seduced by the wiles of the fiery Gypsy, Carmen.
7 José abandons his childhood sweetheart and deserts from his military duties, yet loses Carmen's love to the glamorous toreador Escamillo, after which José kills her in a jealous rage.
8 The depictions of proletarian life, immorality and lawlessness, and the tragic death of the main character on stage, broke new ground in French opera and were highly controversial.
9 After the premiere, most reviews were critical, and the French public was generally indifferent.
10 "Carmen" initially gained its reputation through a series of productions outside France, and was not revived in Paris until 1883; thereafter it rapidly acquired celebrity at home and abroad, and continues to be one of the most frequently performed operas; the "Habanera" from act 1 and the "Toreador Song" from act 2 are among the best known of all operatic arias.
11 Later commentators have asserted that "Carmen" forms the bridge between the tradition of "opéra comique" and the realism or "verismo" that characterised late 19th-century Italian opera.
12 The music of "Carmen" has been widely acclaimed for its brilliance of melody, harmony, atmosphere and orchestration, and for the skill with which Bizet musically represented the emotions and suffering of his characters.
13 After the composer's death the score was subject to significant amendment, including the introduction of recitative in place of the original dialogue; there is no standard edition of the opera, and different views exist as to what versions best express Bizet's intentions.
14 The opera has been recorded many times since the first acoustical recording in 1908, and the story has been the subject of many screen and stage adaptations.

5 Set against the backdrop of the American Civil War and Reconstruction era, the story is told from the perspective of white Southerners.
6 The production of the film was troubled from the start.
7 Filming was delayed for two years due to David O. Selznick's determination to secure Clark Gable for the role of Rhett Butler, and the "search for Scarlett" led to 1,400 women being interviewed for the part.
8 The original screenplay was written by Sidney Howard, but underwent many revisions by several writers in an attempt to get it down to a suitable length.
9 The original director, George Cukor, was fired shortly after filming had begun and was replaced by Victor Fleming, who in turn was briefly replaced by Sam Wood while Fleming took some time off due to exhaustion.
10 The film received positive reviews upon its release in December 1939, although some reviewers found it dramatically lacking and bloated.

13 It set records for the total number of wins and nominations at the time.
14 The film was immensely popular, becoming the highest-earning film made up to that point, and retained the record for over a quarter of a century.
15 Adjusted for inflation, it is still the most successful film in box-office history.
16 The film has been criticized for its historical revisionism and glorification of slavery, but nevertheless it has been credited for triggering changes to the way African Americans are depicted on film.
17 It was re-released periodically throughout the 20th century and became ingrained in popular culture.
18 It has placed in the top ten of the American Film Institute's list of top 100 American films since the list's inception in 1998, and in 1989, "Gone with the Wind" was selected to be preserved by the National Film Registry.

1 Cannibal Holocaust
2 Cannibal Holocaust is a 1980 Italian cannibal film directed by Ruggero Deodato from a screenplay by Gianfranco Clerici, starring Carl Gabriel Yorke, Robert Kerman, Francesca Ciardi and Luca Barbareschi.
3 Influenced by the works of Mondo director Gualtiero Jacopetti, the film was inspired by Italian media coverage of Red Brigade terrorism.
4 The coverage included news reports Deodato believed to be staged, an idea which became an integral aspect of the film's story.
5 "Cannibal Holocaust" was filmed primarily in the Amazon Rainforest with real indigenous tribes interacting with American and Italian actors.
6 The film tells the story of a missing documentary film crew who had gone to the Amazon to film cannibal tribes.

8 Upon viewing the reels, Monroe is appalled by the team's actions, and after learning their fate, he objects to the station's intent to air the documentary.
9 The presentation of the film team's lost footage, functioning similar to a flashback, inspired the found footage style of narrative filmmaking, later popularized by such films as the "The Blair Witch Project".
10 "Cannibal Holocaust" achieved notoriety as its graphic violence aroused a great deal of controversy.
11 After its premiere in Italy, it was ordered to be seized by a local magistrate, and Deodato was arrested on obscenity charges.
12 He was later charged with making a snuff film due to rumors that claimed some actors were killed on camera.

14 Some nations have since revoked the ban, but the film is still banned in several countries.
15 Critics have suggested that the film is a commentary about civilized versus uncivilized society.

1 The Reluctant Dragon
2 "The Reluctant Dragon" is an 1898 children's story by Kenneth Grahame (originally published as a chapter in his book "Dream Days"), which served as the key element to the 1941 feature film with the same name from Walt Disney Productions.
3 The story has also been set to music as a children's operetta by John Rutter, with words by David Grant.
4 In 1960, it was presented as a live-action episode starring John Raitt as St. George, on the television anthology "The Shirley Temple Show".
5 On March 21, 1968, Burr Tillstrom and Kukla, Fran and Ollie starred in a puppet version on NBC.
6 In 1970–1971, it formed part of the anthology television program "The Reluctant Dragon and Mr. Toad Show".
7 In 1987, Cosgrove Hall Films adapted it for Thames ITV.
8 The story takes place in the Berkshire Downs in Oxfordshire (where the author lived and where, according to legend, St George did fight a dragon).
9 It is Grahame's most famous short story.
10 It is arguably better known than "Dream Days" itself or the related "The Golden Age".
11 It can be seen as a prototype to most modern stories in which the dragon is a sympathetic character rather than a threat.
12 In Grahame's story, a young boy discovers an erudite, poetry-loving dragon living in the Downs above his home.
13 The two become friends, but soon afterwards the dragon is discovered by the townsfolk, who send for St George to rid them of it.
14 The boy introduces St George to the dragon, and the two decide that it would be better for them not to fight.
15 Eventually, they decide to stage a fake joust between the two combatants.
16 As the two have planned, St George harmlessly spears the dragon through a shallow fold of skin suggested by the dragon, and the townsfolk rejoice (though not all of them, as some had placed bets on the dragon winning).
17 St George then proclaims that the dragon is reformed in character, and assures the townsfolk that he is not dangerous.
18 The dragon is then accepted by the people.
19 One scholar describes the book as "a story about language", such as the "dialect of the illiterate people", and the "literary aspirations of the dragon".
20 The story also has an opening scene in which a little girl named Charlotte (a character from Grahame's "The Golden Age") and a grown-up character find mysterious reptilian footprints in the snow and follow them, eventually finding a man who tells them the story of the Reluctant Dragon; two abridged versions (one by Robert D. San Souci and illustrated by John Segal and another abridged and illustrated by Inga Moore) both omit this scene.
21 A "New York Times" review by Emily Jenkins notes that this framework is somewhat long-winded and might cause some parents to worry about whether the story can keep children's attention.
22 However, she finds the unabridged version preferable to both abridgments (although she says that "Moore retains the pure joy of the author's descriptive passages").
23 Peter Green, in his 1959 biography of Grahame, writes that while the story can be viewed as a satire like Don Quixote, the characters can be seen on a deeper level as representing different sides of the author himself: St. George represents Grahame as a public servant who works for the Establishment while the Dragon represents his anarchic, artistic, anti-social side.

3 The cast includes Ole Olsen and Chic Johnson (who produced and starred in it on Broadway), Martha Raye, Mischa Auer, Shemp Howard, Whitey's Lindy Hoppers and The Six Hits.
4 The credits for the film assert that "any resemblance between "Hellzapoppin"' and a motion picture are coincidental"—a truth that is perhaps responsible for it being less successful than the stage show which engendered it.
5 The film does have some great visual humor, however, including a number of special effects that couldn't be duplicated on stage.
6 It also includes a spirited 2:42 dance clip with Whitey's Lindy Hoppers.

8 Demons punish them in various ways.
9 Ole and Chic arrive in the midst of the mayhem by taxi, and after a bit of funny business step back to reveal that it's a movie sound stage.
10 They work for Miracle Pictures ("If it's a good picture, it's a Miracle!")
11 A mousy screenwriter (Elisha Cook, Jr.) outlines his script for the screen adaptation of "Hellzapoppin"', and the rest of the movie depicts Cook's crazy script.
12 Among the topical humor is Johnson picking up a sled named "Rosebud" and saying "I thought they'd burnt that" (Olsen and Johnson were friends of Orson Welles, whose film "Citizen Kane" closes with Kane's childhood sled being burnt).
13 At the present, "Hellzapoppin"' (like almost all Olsen and Johnson films) is hard to find on commercial DVD.
14 Second Sight (via an arrangement with Universal) released the film commercially in the UK on region 2 format DVD (release date 2007).
15 The film was scheduled for screening at the non-profit Mid-Atlantic Nostalgia Convention in September 2008.
16 The 1942 Academy Award nomination for Best Song for "Pig Foot Pete," (which lost to "White Christmas"), was attributed to "Hellzapoppin,"' but the song never appeared in the film - it was actually performed in another Universal production from the same year, the Abbott and Costello film "Keep 'Em Flying."

5 Andrew Wyke, a successful writer of crime fiction, who lives in a large country manor house filled with elaborate games and automata (moving mechanical dolls), invites his wife's lover Milo Tindle, a hairdresser of Italian heritage, to his home to discuss the situation.
6 Andrew warns that his wife has expensive tastes and that Milo should go along with an elaborate plan that he has devised, to commit a bogus burglary.
7 Andrew tells Milo that this is to help him take his wife of his hands by providing enough money for Milo to be able to afford to keep her.
8 Andrew would then file a claim on the insurance, and Milo would have jewels to sell on to a fence.
9 Milo agrees and proceeds with the "burglary", however, things don't go quite as Milo expects.
10 Andrew eventually pulls a gun on Milo and explains that the whole burglary charade was, in fact, a set-up engineered by him to make his rival Milo look like a real burglar.
11 Andrew would then shoot and kill Milo in apparent self-defence.
12 Andrew then cold bloodedly executes Milo by shooting him in the back of the head.
13 A few days later, a policeman, Inspector Doppler arrives at the manor house investigating Milo's disappearance.
14 Andrew at first purports to know nothing, but his guilt becomes evident as the inspector collates clues; in particular blood stains and bullet holes.
15 Frightened, Andrew breaks down and explains the entire ruse to Doppler; he set up a fake burglary, then "shot" a terrified Milo with blanks in revenge for Milo's seducing his wife.
16 He insists that it was all "just a game" and that Milo left the house emotionally damaged but physically unharmed.
17 Andrew insists that he has no knowledge of what happened to Milo after he left the house.
18 After finding more seemingly unmistakable evidence that a murder had taken place recently in the house, Doppler arrests Andrew for murder.
19 As Andrew is being restrained by Doppler after refusing to go with him to the police station, it is revealed that Doppler is not a real policeman but is someone in disguise.
20 Doppler begins to remove his disguise and is revealed to be Milo himself; having executed an elaborate "game" of his own to get his revenge on Andrew.
21 The score seems to be even between the two men, but then Milo states that now he wants to play another game, this time involving a real murder.
22 Andrew is persuaded that the police will soon be arriving, and that Milo has planted evidence throughout the house that will point to Andrew's involvement in the killing of his own mistress, Tea (pronounced ‘Tay-a’).
23 Andrew believes at first that this is yet another game of Milo's, but a phone call to his mistress's roommate, Joyce, confirms that Tea is indeed missing.
24 Andrew, in a continuing state of mounting frenzy, hunts through the house to discover where the evidence is hidden; relying on cryptic clues from Milo who is now revelling in Andrew's predicament.
25 Andrew finds all the evidence, the last item of which he finds just as the police arrive.
26 Milo answers the door to the police whilst Andrew straightens himself up after getting dirty and dishevelled hunting the evidence.
27 In the background we hear Milo talking to the police officers in an attempt to stall their entry into the house, which Andrew pleaded with him to do.
28 Milo then invites the officers in.
29 However, only Milo enters the room.
30 He impersonates the voices of the officers and Andrew realises that it was Milo all along and that the officers do not really exist.
31 Milo had indeed executed a second elaborate "game" on Andrew, besting him twice at his own "game".
32 Milo gets ready to leave, but before going he continues to taunt Andrew emasculating and humiliating him using information that he obtained from both Andrew's wife and mistress.
33 Milo, who is in buoyant mood, leaves the room and whilst he is absent Andrew finds and loads his gun.

4 The film was nominated for seven Oscars, including Best Picture; Tarantino and Avary won for Best Original Screenplay.
5 It was also awarded the Palme d'Or at the 1994 Cannes Film Festival.
6 A major critical and commercial success, it revitalized the career of its leading man, John Travolta, who received an Academy Award nomination, as did costars Samuel L. Jackson and Uma Thurman.
7 Directed in a highly stylized manner, "Pulp Fiction" connects the intersecting storylines of Los Angeles mobsters, fringe players, small-time criminals, and a mysterious briefcase.
8 Considerable screen time is devoted to conversations and monologues that reveal the characters' senses of humor and perspectives on life.
9 The film's title refers to the pulp magazines and hardboiled crime novels popular during the mid-20th century, known for their graphic violence and punchy dialogue.
10 "Pulp Fiction" is self-referential from its opening moments, beginning with a title card that gives two dictionary definitions of "pulp".
11 The plot, as in many of Tarantino's other works, is presented out of chronological sequence.
12 The picture's self-reflexivity, unconventional structure, and extensive use of homage and pastiche have led critics to describe it as a prime example of postmodern film.
13 Considered by some critics a black comedy, the film is also frequently labeled a "neo-noir".
14 Critic Geoffrey O'Brien argues otherwise: "The old-time noir passions, the brooding melancholy and operatic death scenes, would be altogether out of place in the crisp and brightly lit wonderland that Tarantino conjures up.
15 [It is] neither neo-noir nor a parody of noir."
16 Similarly, Nicholas Christopher calls it "more gangland camp than neo-noir," and Foster Hirsch suggests that its "trippy fantasy landscape" characterizes it more definitively than any genre label.
17 "Pulp Fiction" is viewed as the inspiration for many later movies that adopted various elements of its style.
18 The nature of its development, marketing, and distribution and its consequent profitability had a sweeping effect on the field of independent cinema.
19 Considered a cultural watershed, "Pulp Fiction"'s influence has been felt in several other media, and was judged the greatest film of the past 25 years (1983–2008) by "Entertainment Weekly".
20 (See greatest films of all time.)
21 In 2013, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".

1 The Glass Menagerie
2 The Glass Menagerie is a four-character memory play by Tennessee Williams which premiered in 1944 and catapulted Williams from obscurity to fame.
3 The play has strong autobiographical elements, featuring characters based on Williams himself, his histrionic mother, and his mentally fragile sister Laura.
4 In writing the play, Williams drew on an earlier short story, as well as a screenplay he had written under the title of "The Gentleman Caller".
5 The play premiered in Chicago in 1944.
6 After a shaky start it was championed by Chicago critics Ashton Stevens and Claudia Cassidy, whose enthusiasm helped build audiences so the producers could move the play to Broadway where it won the New York Drama Critics Circle Award in 1945.
7 "The Glass Menagerie" was Williams's first successful play; he went on to become one of America's most highly regarded playwrights.
8 The characters and story mimic Williams's own life more closely than any of his other works.
9 Williams (whose real name was Thomas) would be Tom, his mother, Amanda.
10 His sickly and mentally unstable older sister Rose provides the basis for the fragile Laura (whose nickname in the play is "Blue Roses", a result of a bout of pleurosis as a high school student), though it has also been suggested that Laura may incorporate aspects of Williams himself, referencing his introverted nature and obsessive focus on a part of life (writing for Williams and glass animals in Laura's case).
11 Williams, who was close to Rose growing up, learnt to his horror that in 1943 in his absence his sister had been subjected to a botched lobotomy.
12 Rose was left incapacitated (and institutionalized) for the rest of her life.
13 With the success of "The Glass Menagerie", Williams was to give half of the royalties from the play to his mother.
14 He later designated half of the royalties from his play "Summer and Smoke" to provide for Rose's care, arranging for her move from the state hospital to a private sanitarium.
15 Eventually he was to leave the bulk of his estate to ensure Rose's continuing care.
16 Rose died in 1996.

3 It's the third in a series of six classic film noir productions scripted by Rouse and his writing partner Clarence Greene.
4 The film is unusual because there is no principal actor dialogue spoken.
5 The film is really about spies and spying ("spy-craft") rather than about thieves and thieving ("thief-craft"), and was appropriately retitled "The Spy" in foreign releases.
6 Perhaps the producers were too afraid of HUAC examination of their work to more properly call it "The Spy" in domestic releases?

5 It stars Chishu Ryu, who was featured in almost all of the director’s films, and Setsuko Hara, making her first of six appearances in Ozu’s work.
6 It is the first installment of Ozu’s so-called “Noriko trilogy”—the others are "Early Summer" ("Bakushu", 1951) and "Tokyo Story" ("Tokyo Monogatari", 1953)—in each of which Hara portrays a young woman named Noriko, though the three Norikos are distinct, unrelated characters, linked primarily by their status as single women in postwar Japan.
7 "Late Spring" belongs to the type of Japanese film known as "shomingeki", a genre that deals with the ordinary daily lives of working class and middle class people of modern times.
8 The film is frequently regarded as the first in the director’s final creative period, "the major prototype of the [director's] 1950s and 1960s work."

11 The following year, it was awarded the prestigious Kinema Junpo critics' award as the best Japanese production released in 1949.
12 In 1972, the film was commercially released in the United States, again to very positive reviews.
13 "Late Spring" has been referred to as the director's "most perfect" work, as "the definitive film of Ozu's master filmmaking approach and language" and has been called "one of the most perfect, most complete, and most successful studies of character ever achieved in Japanese cinema."
14 In the 2012 version of the widely respected decennial "Greatest Films of All Time" "Sight & Sound" poll, published by the British Film Institute (BFI), "Late Spring" appears as the 15th greatest film of all time.

1 Farinelli (film)
2 Farinelli is a 1994 biographical film about the life and career of the 18th-century Italian opera singer Carlo Broschi, known as Farinelli, considered the greatest castrato singer of all time.
3 It stars Stefano Dionisi as Farinelli, Enrico Lo Verso as his brother, composer Riccardo Broschi, and was directed by the Belgian director, Gérard Corbiau.
4 Although based on real-life events, dramatic license was taken to a great extent, and only the basic facts of Farinelli's life are correct, while the plot line is completely fictional and far removed from what is known about real-life Carlo Broschi (1705-1782).
5 For example, the ambiguous relationship between the Broschi brothers, the stormy one with rival composer Handel, and Farinelli's own amorous escapades and over-the-top rockstar attitude are totally spurious.
6 Additionally, Farinelli's brother is given much more importance than he actually had in his brother's career, while Porpora's own (and that of other composers of the Neapolitan School as well) is de-emphasized; the movie also offers a different explanation for how Carlo Broschi came to take the stage name Farinelli than what has been historically ascertained.
7 George Frideric Handel, played by Jeroen Krabbé, is made out to be somewhat of a villain, but that is based on the competition between the London theater at which Handel's music was played and the rival theater at which Farinelli sang for a short period.
8 Although settings, scenery, costumes and props are true to the era, the producers also took many liberties with the physical appearances of the characters.
9 The Broschi brothers do not look anything like their original portraits showed them to be, and they maintain modern hairstyles and mannerisms.
10 Nicola Porpora's disheveled, unshaven and scruffy appearance, although credible for a commoner of the era, do not make any sense for a person of his status from that period.
11 Additionally, none of them ever wears a wig, which was almost mandatory for anybody, gentry level and up, well into the second half of the 18th century.
12 Although Dionisi provided the speaking voice (originally in French), Farinelli's singing voice was provided by the Polish soprano, Ewa Malas-Godlewska and a countertenor, Derek Lee Ragin, who were recorded separately then digitally merged to recreate the sound of a castrato.
13 Its musical director was the French harpsichordist and conductor Christophe Rousset.
14 The musical recording was made at the concert hall, the Arsenal in Metz, with the orchestra Les Talens Lyriques.
15 The movie is not dubbed into English; it is spoken in French and Italian, with subtitles.
16 This matches fairly well the actual situation at the time, when French was the lingua franca of Europe, much as English is throughout the world today, and most letters, commentaries, official documents and books were written in that language, even well beyond the borders of France.
17 In many scenes, Riccardo Broschi speaks to his brother in Italian, while Carlo replies in French; also, the English court visiting the Covent Garden Theatre speaks in French to the actors and composers, and that also is fairly acceptable from an historical standpoint.

1 Jerusalem Countdown
2 Jerusalem Countdown: A Warning to the World is a book written in 2006 by American pastor John Hagee which interprets the Bible to predict that Russia and the Islamic states will invade Israel and will be destroyed by God.

4 A final battle between East and West at Armageddon will then precipitate the Second Coming of Christ.
5 Hagee asserts that "the reason for the continual conflict over the city of Jerusalem is theology" because the Qur'an instructed believers "to kill and maim anyone who did not believe in Allah or in Muhammad his prophet."
6 He also claims that when Jeremiah prophesied in the Bible that "I will send for many hunters, and they will hunt them down on every mountain and hill and from the crevices of the rocks," he was foreseeing The Holocaust.
7 "The "hunter" is one who pursues his target with force and fear," Hagee writes.

9 He has made the same claim in a sermon.

6 The protagonist struggles with discomfort and alienation in both worlds.
7 Seymour returns to the reservation for the funeral of his friend Mouse (Swil Kanim), a violinist, and Seymour's internal conflict becomes external as his childhood friends and relatives on the reservation question his motivation for writing Indian-themed poems and selling them to the mainstream public.
8 The film examines several issues that contemporary American Indians face, including cultural assimilation (both on the reservation and in urban areas), difficult stereotypes, and substance abuse.

15 This is discussed in detail on the DVD commentary and the behind the scenes documentary included in the DVD release, where Alexie comments that he wanted to make a film that not only discussed his politics, but put them into practice in the making of the film.

1 Beer Wars
2 Beer Wars is a 2009 documentary film about the American beer industry.
3 In particular, it covers the differences between large corporate breweries, namely Anheuser-Busch, the Miller Brewing Company, and the Coors Brewing Company opposed to smaller breweries like Dogfish Head Brewery, Stone Brewing Co., and other producers of craft beer.
4 Also covered is how advertising and lobbyists are used to control the beer market, implying that these things harm competition and consumer choice.
5 Throughout the film there is a theme that the smallest breweries have next to no chance to compete due to the sheer volume of advertising and outdated beer distribution laws.

7 The law demands that the beer brewer cannot deliver directly to the retailer, supposedly creating a separation of powers resembling the US government's congress, judicial, and executive branches.

9 The film was written, produced, narrated, and directed by Anat Baron, former head of Mike's Hard Lemonade.

1 Troll 2
2 Troll 2 is a 1990 horror B movie directed by Claudio Fragasso (under the pseudonym Drake Floyd) and starring Michael Stephenson, George Hardy, Margo Prey, Connie McFarland, Deborah Reed and Jason Wright.
3 Although produced under the title Goblins, United States distributors were skeptical about the film's ability to succeed as a standalone picture and renamed it "Troll 2" in an attempt to market it as a sequel to the 1986 Empire Pictures film "Troll".
4 The two films, however, have no connection, and no trolls are actually depicted in "Troll 2".
5 The plot concerns a family pursued by vegetarian goblins who seek to transform them into plants so that they can eat them.
6 The English-language script was written by Fragasso and his wife Rosella Drudi, neither of whom actually spoke fluent English at the time.
7 Despite filming the movie in Utah, and casting the movie entirely with American actors (many of whom had no prior acting experience and had responded to the casting call hoping to be extras), Fragasso also employed an exclusively Italian crew, who likewise spoke no English.
8 The resultant communication breakdown, coupled with the cast's lack of experience and Fragasso's insistence that his script be performed verbatim, has led to the movie being considered one of the worst movies ever made.
9 Because of the film's reputation, it has gained a very large cult following.

6 In a Hollywood still recovering from the effects of the blacklisting of suspected Communists, the film stirred up controversy.
7 Greene was furious that his anti-war message was excised from the film, and he disavowed it as a "propaganda film for America."
8 "The Quiet American" was remade in 2002, directed by Phillip Noyce, with Brendan Fraser and Michael Caine, in a version more faithful to Greene's novel.

4 As Moore's proposed story would have left many of the characters unusable for future stories, managing editor Dick Giordano convinced Moore to create original characters instead.

12 Structured as a nonlinear narrative, the story skips through space, time and plot.
13 A commercial success, "Watchmen" has received critical acclaim both in the comics and mainstream press, and is frequently considered by several critics and reviewers as comics' greatest series and graphic novel.
14 After a number of attempts to adapt the series into a feature film, director Zack Snyder's "Watchmen" was released in 2009.
15 A video game series, "", was released in the same year to coincide with the film's release.
16 In 2012, DC Comics began publishing "Before Watchmen", a comic book series acting as a prequel to the original "Watchmen" series, without Moore and Gibbons' involvement.
17 "Watchmen" was recognized in Time's List of the 100 Best Novels as one of the best English language novels published since 1923, and placed #91 on The Comics Journal's list of the top 100 comics of the 20th century.

2 A.I. Artificial Intelligence, also known as A.I., is a 2001 American science fiction drama film written, directed, and produced by Steven Spielberg, and based on Brian Aldiss's short story "Super-Toys Last All Summer Long".

4 Set sometime in the future, "A.I." tells the story of David, a childlike android uniquely programmed with the ability to love.

6 Kubrick hired a series of writers up until the mid-1990s, including Brian Aldiss, Bob Shaw, Ian Watson, and Sara Maitland.

9 Spielberg remained close to Watson's film treatment for the screenplay.
10 The film was greeted with generally favorable reviews from critics and grossed approximately $235 million.
11 A small credit appears after the end credits, which reads "For Stanley Kubrick."

1 Critters (film series)
2 The Critters film series, from New Line Cinema (which was owned by Warner Bros.), comprises four movies that combine elements of horror, science fiction and comedy.
3 The first film, called simply "Critters", was released in 1986 and received "two thumbs up" from Siskel and Ebert.
4 Although widely believed to have been made to cash in on the success of the similarly themed "Gremlins" (which was also owned by Warner Bros.), director Stephen Herek has refuted this in interviews, pointing out that the first "Critters" script was written by Domonic Muir long before "Gremlins" went into production and subsequently underwent rewrites to reduce the apparent similarities between the two films.
5 In any case, the basic plotline of the first film - mysterious strangers arrive in small town to repel marauding invaders - is more like a classic Western narrative.
6 The central focus of the series is upon a group of malevolent carnivorous aliens from outer space, called Krites, that have the ability to roll into balls (cf. hedgehogs) and combine into a pernicious sphere that can roll across the landscape and cause mayhem.
7 In appearance, the individual Krites resemble small furry/spiky animals with large mouths and many sharp teeth.
8 Throughout the movies they attack humans by biting and attempting to eat them, or at least a piece of them.
9 The spikes on their backs can be launched as projectiles (render the victim unconscious).
10 The coloration of the Krites varies between black, brown and navy blue.
11 In the original film they were also able to grow to a much larger size, although this ability was dropped for the sequels.
12 The storyline for the first two films involves bounty hunters from outer space who hunt the extraterrestrial monsters in a small American town.
13 The setting for the third movie is a city whilst in the final film the hunt takes place on a space station.
14 The Critters are ravenous creatures that exist simply to eat and breed and the main human characters in the films endeavor to protect themselves while trying to think of ways to defeat them.
15 Terrence Mann appears in all four films as an interstellar bounty hunter named Ug, as does Don Keith Opper as Charlie, an alcoholic who rises to the occasion when called upon to defend mankind.
16 Leonardo DiCaprio appeared in "Critters 3", and Dee Wallace-Stone and Billy Zane both appeared in the first installment.
17 Scott Grimes starred in the first two films as Bradley Brown.

3 Following the decision of Sean Connery to retire from the role after "You Only Live Twice", Eon Productions selected an unknown actor and model, George Lazenby, to play the part of James Bond.
4 During the making of the film, Lazenby decided that he would play the role of Bond only once.
5 In the film, Bond faces Blofeld (Telly Savalas), who is planning to sterilise the world's food supply through a group of brainwashed "angels of death" (which included early appearances by Joanna Lumley and Catherina von Schell) unless his demands are met for an international amnesty, for recognition of his title as the Count De Bleuchamp (the French form of Blofeld) and to be allowed to retire into private life.
6 Along the way, Bond meets, falls in love with, and eventually marries Contessa Teresa di Vicenzo (Diana Rigg).

1 Anything Goes (1936 film)
2 Anything Goes is a 1936 American musical film directed by Lewis Milestone and starring Bing Crosby, Ethel Merman, Charles Ruggles, and Ida Lupino.
3 Based on the stage musical "Anything Goes" by Guy Bolton and P.G. Wodehouse, the stage version contains songs by Cole Porter.
4 The film is about a young man who falls in love with a beautiful woman whom he follows onto a luxury liner, where he discovers she is an English heiress who ran away from home and is now being returned to England.
5 He also discovers that his boss is on the ship.
6 To avoid discovery, he disguises himself as the gangster accomplice of a minister, who is actually a gangster on the run from the law.
7 The film required revisions of Porter's saucy lyrics to pass Production Code censors.
8 Only four of his songs remained: "Anything Goes", "I Get a Kick Out of You", "There'll Always Be a Lady Fair", and "You're the Top".
9 "You're the Top" contained substantially revised lyrics, and only the first verse (sung by Ethel Merman during the opening credits) was retained from the song "Anything Goes".
10 Bing Crosby's influence was used to gut most of Porter's score and obtain four new songs from several new songwriters, Richard A. Whiting, Hoagy Carmichael, Leo Robin, Edward Heyman, and Friedrich Hollander, but other than "Moonburn", written by Hoagy Carmichael and Edward Heyman, which temporarily became a hit for Crosby, it is usually agreed that most of the replacement score was forgettable.
11 Some, including movie musical expert John Springer, have criticized Paramount for substituting new songs by other composers for the originals.
12 (This was a common policy in Hollywood during the 1930s, when film studios owned music publishing houses and hoped that songs written especially for films would guarantee extra profits for the studio.)
13 When Paramount sold the 1936 film to television, they retitled the movie "Tops is the Limit" because the 1956 film version, also from Paramount, was currently in theaters.

3 It was financed by Mohamed Al-Fayed and Associated-Rediffusion and shown in Cannes while the 2011 Cannes Film Festival was in progress.
4 It argues that the British and French authorities covered up uncomfortable facts about the crash, accuses Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Margaret of being 'gangsters in tiaras', and alleges that Prince Philip is a psychopath, in the mould of British serial killer Fred West, who orchestrated the murder of Diana and Dodi.
5 It also alleges that Diana's life could have been saved had she been taken to hospital quickly and efficiently, and condemns the inquest into her death for failing to investigate why this action was not taken.
6 It perpetuates the long-standing allegation by Al-Fayed that the Royal Family was opposed to Diana's relationship with Dodi due to his religion.
7 Martyn Gregory, author of a book on the Princess of Wales' last days, has described the film as "ludicrous".
8 He said: "It simply regurgitates everything Mohamed Fayed has been saying since the year 2000.
9 It is rehearsing the Planet Fayed view."

11 It was not shown there.

1 The Rape of Europa
2 The Rape of Europa: The Fate of Europe's Treasures in the Third Reich and the Second World War is a book and a subsequent documentary film of somewhat related material.
3 The book, by Lynn H. Nicholas, explores the Nazi plunder of looted art treasures from occupied countries and the consequences.
4 It covers a range of associated activities: Nazi appropriation and storage, patriotic concealment and smuggling during World War II, discoveries by the Allies, and the extraordinary tasks of preserving, tracking and returning by the American Monuments officers and their colleagues.
5 Nicholas was awarded the Légion d'Honneur by France.
6 Despite the regular accounts of impending destruction of art works, Nicholas also recounts a veneration for art on the part of people of all sides of the conflict, and what amounts to desperate and sometimes heroic activity.
7 The villains, unsurprisingly, are often the Nazis, particularly Adolf Hitler and Hermann Göring; however, the activities of Western art dealers are often questionable as well.
8 The book is chronological starting with scattered events in the decade before World War II.
9 During this time the Nazis used their influence and money to acquire artwork, while dealers and the public at large were anticipating war.
10 Discussion of Nazi occupation starts in the third chapter.
11 The middle of the book discusses Nazi plundering during the war, as well as Soviet efforts to safeguard their treasures.
12 Midway through the book the role of American and Allied organizations are introduced, including the frustratingly tentative planning and lack of resources they faced.
13 The book follows the path of liberation as the Allies push back the Axis, while missing art is searched for, and recovered art conserved.
14 The book concludes with chapters about post war activities: resolving problems of ownership, coordinating the return of stolen art, and attempting to collect what was yet missing.
15 Philosophically intriguing are issues of who ultimately owns works of art.
16 Since this last phase of recovery and restitution is ongoing, this book has a bearing on current activities.
17 The book won the National Book Critics Circle Award for general non-fiction in 1994, and it was adapted for a film of the same name released in 2006.
18 It was made for 1.3 million USD, with half underwritten by the National Endowment for the Humanities and the remainder underwritten by the National Endowment for the Arts, several other foundations, and one private investor.
19 The life of Holocaust refugee Maria Altmann, one of the subjects featured in the 2006 documentary version of the book, is recounted by her caregiver in the memoir "The Accidental Caregiver: How I Met, Loved and Lost Legendary Holocaust Refugee Maria Altmann", by Gregor Collins.
20 Altmann began a decade-long, ultimately successful legal campaign in 1998 to recover five Nazi-looted paintings by seminal Austrian artist Gustav Klimt.

7 There was also a disco version of the song made during the 1970s, with Merman reprising her singing role in "The Ethel Merman Disco Album".
8 The song became one of Ethel Merman's standards and was often performed by her at concerts and on television.
9 Other singers to have recorded the song include Judy Garland, the Andrews Sisters (with Bing Crosby and Dick Haymes), Harry Connick Jr. (from "Come by Me", 1999), Susannah McCorkle, and Bernadette Peters.
10 In his liner notes for Susannah McCorkle's version of the song on her "Ballad Essentials" album Scott Yanow writes "usually performed as a corny razzle-dazzle romp, that piece was drastically slowed down by Susannah who performed all of its known lyrics, including stanzas that show Irving Berlin's lyrics were actually quite touching and meaningful".
11 Tenor saxophonist Sonny Rollins did a rendition of the tune on his 1956 Prestige album, "Work Time".

1 The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit
2 The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit, by Sloan Wilson, is a 1955 novel about the American search for purpose in a world dominated by business.
3 Tom and Betsy Rath share a struggle to find contentment in their hectic and material culture while several other characters fight essentially the same battle, but struggle in it for different reasons.
4 In the end, it is a story of taking responsibility for one's own life.
5 The book was largely autobiographical, drawing on Wilson's experiences as assistant director of the U.S. National Citizen Commission for Public Schools.
6 The novel was made into a movie in 1956, starring Gregory Peck and Jennifer Jones as Tom and Betsy Rath, with Fredric March, Lee J. Cobb, Keenan Wynn and Marisa Pavan in supporting roles.
7 (March plays Tom Rath's boss, a character based on Roy Larsen, Wilson's boss at Time, Inc.) It was entered at the 1956 Cannes Film Festival.
8 Both movie and book became hugely popular.
9 The novel continues to appear in the references of sociologists to America's discontented businessman.
10 Columnist Bob Greene wrote, "The title of Sloan Wilson's best-selling novel became part of the American vernacular—the book was a ground-breaking fictional look at conformity in the executive suite, and it was a piece of writing that helped the nation's business community start to examine the effects of its perceived stodginess and sameness."
11 Historian Robert Schultz argues that the film and the novel are cultural representations of what two-time presidential candidate (1952 and 1956) Adlai Stevenson described in a 1955 commencement address to Smith College women as a "crisis" in the western world, one Stevenson defined as "collectivism colliding with individualism," the collective corporate organization of postwar social and economic life.
12 That increased corporate organization of society, Schultz notes, reduced white-collar workers' (represented by Tom Rath and the other gray-suited "yes men") control over what they did and how they did it as they adapted to the "organized system" described and critiqued by contemporary social critics such as Paul Goodman, C. Wright Mills and William H. Whyte, Jr.
13 The book was re-issued in 2002, with a foreword by author Jonathan Franzen.

4 It won the Golden Bear at the 22nd Berlin International Film Festival.
5 The adaptation covers eight of the 24 tales and contains abundant nudity, sex and slapstick humour.
6 Many of these scenes are present or at least alluded to in the original as well, but some are Pasolini's own additions.
7 The film sometimes diverges from Chaucer.
8 For example, "The Friar's Tale" is significantly expanded upon: where the Friar leads in with a general account of the archdeacon's severity and the summoner's corruption, Pasolini illustrates this with a specific incident which has no parallel in Chaucer.
9 Two men are caught in an inn bedroom having sex.
10 One is able to bribe his way out of trouble, but the other, poorer man is less fortunate: he is tried and convicted of sodomy — it does not occur to the judge that such an act cannot be committed by "one" person alone — and is sentenced to death.
11 As a foretaste of Hell, he is burned alive inside an iron cage ("roasted on a griddle" in the words of one spectator) while vendors sell beer and various baked and roasted foods to the spectators.
12 In Pasolini's version of the fragmentary "Cook's Tale", Ninetto Davoli plays the role of Perkyn in manner clearly inspired by Charlie Chaplin.
13 This film featured Tom Baker in a small role, as one of the husbands of the Wife of Bath.

6 Twenty years later, he would be cast as Lewis in the 1996 television adaptation.

10 Skelton declined after realizing his income was higher performing his stand-up comedy than what he was offered for the film; he was replaced by the younger Matthau.

2 Cool Hand Luke is a 1967 American prison drama film directed by Stuart Rosenberg, starring Paul Newman and featuring George Kennedy in an Oscar-winning performance.
3 Newman stars in the title role as Luke, a prisoner in a Florida prison camp who refuses to submit to the system.
4 The film, set in the early 1950s, is based on Donn Pearce's 1965 novel of the same name.
5 Pearce sold the story to Warner Brothers, who then hired him to write the script.
6 Due to Pearce's lack of film experience, the studio added Frank Pierson to rework the screenplay.
7 Newman's biographer Marie Edelman Borden states that the "tough, honest" script drew together threads from earlier movies, especially "Hombre", Newman's earlier film of 1967.
8 The film has been cited by Roger Ebert as an anti-establishment film which was shot during the time of the Vietnam War, in which Newman's character endures "physical punishment, psychological cruelty, hopelessness and equal parts of sadism and masochism".
9 His influence on his prison mates and the torture that he endures is compared to that of Jesus, and Christian symbolism is used throughout the film, culminating in a photograph superimposed over crossroads at the end of the film in comparison to the crucifixion.
10 Filming took place on the San Joaquin River Delta, and the set, imitating a southern prison farm, was built in Stockton, California.
11 The filmmakers sent a crew to Tavares Road Prison in Tavares, Florida to take photographs and measurements.
12 Upon its release, "Cool Hand Luke" received favorable reviews and became a box-office success.

14 Newman was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor, George Kennedy won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, Pearce and Pierson were nominated for the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay, and the score by Lalo Schifrin was also nominated for the Best Original Score.
15 In 2005, the United States Library of Congress selected it for preservation in the National Film Registry, considering it to be "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
16 It currently has a rare 100% rating on the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes.
17 The quote used by the prison warden in the film, which begins with "What we've got here is failure to communicate", was listed at No. 11 on the American Film Institute's list of the 100 most memorable movie lines.

1 Bless Me, Ultima
2 Bless Me, Ultima is a novel by Rudolfo Anaya in which his young protagonist, Antonio Márez y Luna, tells the story of his coming-of-age with the guidance of his "curandera", mentor, and protector, Ultima.
3 It has become the most widely read and critically acclaimed novel in the Chicano literary canon since its first publication in 1972.
4 Teachers across disciplines in middle schools, high schools and universities have adopted it as a way to multiculturalize their classes.
5 The novel reflects Chicano culture of the 1940s in rural New Mexico.
6 Anaya’s use of Spanish, mystical depiction of the New Mexican landscape, use of cultural motifs such as "La Llorona", and recounting of "curandera" folkways such as the gathering of medicinal herbs, gives readers a sense of the influence of indigenous cultural ways that are both authentic and distinct from the mainstream.
7 "Bless Me, Ultima" is Anaya's best known work and was awarded the prestigious Premio Quinto Sol.
8 In 2008, it was one of 12 classic American novels selected for The Big Read, a community-reading program sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts, and in 2009, it was in the list of the United States Academic Decathlon.
9 "Bless Me, Ultima" is the first in a trilogy followed by the publication of "Heart of Aztlan" (1976) and "Tortuga" (1979).
10 With the publication of his novel, "Alburquerque" (1992), "Newsweek" proclaimed Anaya a front-runner in "what is better called not the new multicultural writing, but the new American writing."
11 Because "Bless Me, Ultima" contains adult language, and because some of the content is violent and contains sexual references, it has been included in the list of most commonly challenged books in the U.S. in 2013.
12 Those characteristics notwithstanding it is also important because it was one of four novels published in the last third of the twentieth century which gained academic respect for Chicano literature as an important and nonderivative type of American literature.

8 "Hoodwinked!"
9 was among the earliest computer-animated films to be completely independently funded.
10 Working apart from a major studio allowed the filmmakers greater creative control, but also restrained them economically.
11 Due to the film's small budget, its animation was produced in the Philippines, with a less realistic design inspired by stop motion films.

6 When developing "Fast Five", Universal Studios deliberately departed from the street racing theme prevalent in previous films in the series, to transform the franchise into a heist action series involving cars.
7 By doing so, they hoped to attract wider audiences that might otherwise be put off by a heavy emphasis on cars and car culture.
8 "Fast Five" is considered the transitional film in the series, featuring only one car race and giving more attention to action set pieces such as gun fights, brawls, and the heist of $100 million.

12 The film was praised by critics, who liked the combination of comedy and "action sequences that toy idly with the laws of physics"; some labeled the film the best of the series.
13 Johnson was singled out for his performance, critics calling him "the best thing, by far, in "Fast Five"" and remarking that scenes shared by Johnson and Diesel were often the "best moments".
14 Despite the positive response, many were critical of the film's running time, considering it too long, and others criticized the treatment of women, stating "[Females] cameo strikingly in buttock form.
15 Others actually have first names."
16 South American reviewers were critical of the film's portrayal of Rio de Janeiro as a haven for drug trafficking and corruption, labeling it a "stereotype".
17 A sequel, "Fast & Furious 6", was released in May 2013 to box office success, surpassing "Fast Five" as the highest grossing film in the franchise.

1 Superman
2 Superman is the superhero persona of a fictional character that appears in comic books published by DC Comics, and is considered an American cultural icon.
3 The Superman character described on this page was created by writer Jerry Siegel and artist Joe Shuster, high school students living in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1933; the character was sold to Detective Comics, Inc. (later DC Comics) in 1938.
4 Superman first appeared in "Action Comics" #1 (June 1938) and subsequently appeared in various radio serials, television programs, films, newspaper strips, and video games.
5 With the success of his adventures, Superman helped to create the superhero genre and establish its primacy within the American comic book.
6 Superman's appearance is distinctive and iconic.
7 He usually wears a blue costume, red cape, and stylized red-and-yellow "S" shield on his chest.
8 This shield is used in a myriad of media to symbolize the character.
9 The origin story of Superman relates that he was born Kal-El on the planet Krypton, before being rocketed to Earth as an infant by his scientist father Jor-El, moments before Krypton's destruction.
10 Discovered and adopted by a Kansas farmer and his wife, the child is raised as Clark Kent and imbued with a strong moral compass.
11 Very early on he started to display superhuman abilities, which, upon reaching maturity, he resolved to use for the benefit of humanity.
12 Superman resides and operates in the fictional American city of Metropolis.
13 As Clark Kent, he is a journalist for the "Daily Planet", a Metropolis newspaper.
14 Superman's primary love interest is Lois Lane and his archenemy is supervillain Lex Luthor.
15 Superman has fascinated scholars, with cultural theorists, commentators, and critics alike exploring the character's impact and role in the United States and worldwide.
16 The character's ownership has often been the subject of dispute, with Siegel and Shuster twice suing for the return of legal ownership.
17 Superman has been labeled as the greatest comic book hero of all time by IGN, as the editors pointed out that Superman was the blueprint for superheroes as we know them today.
18 Several alternative versions of Superman have also been produced.

1 Gertie the Dinosaur
2 Gertie the Dinosaur is a 1914 animated short film by American cartoonist and animator Winsor McCay.
3 It is the earliest animated film to feature a dinosaur.
4 McCay first used the film before live audiences as an interactive part of his vaudeville act; the frisky, childlike Gertie did tricks at the command of her master.
5 McCay's employer William Randolph Hearst later curtailed McCay's vaudeville activities, so McCay added a live-action introductory sequence to the film for its theatrical release.
6 McCay abandoned a sequel, "Gertie on Tour" (), after producing about a minute of footage.
7 Although "Gertie" is popularly thought to be the earliest animated film, McCay had earlier made "Little Nemo" (1911) and "How a Mosquito Operates" (1912).
8 The American J. Stuart Blackton and the French Émile Cohl had experimented with animation even earlier; Gertie being a character with an appealing personality distinguished McCay's film from these earlier "trick films".
9 "Gertie" was the first film to use animation techniques such as keyframes, registration marks, tracing paper, the Mutoscope action viewer, and animation loops.
10 It influenced the next generation of animators such as the Fleischer brothers, Otto Messmer, Paul Terry, and Walt Disney.
11 John Randolph Bray unsuccessfully tried to patent many of McCay's animation techniques and is said to have been behind a plagiarized version of "Gertie" that appeared a year or two after the original.
12 "Gertie" is the best preserved of McCay's films—some of which have been lost or survive only in fragments—and has been preserved in the US National Film Registry.
