The 100 best films of the decade (so far), #1-20 · Best of. Going in, we knew that this list—totaled up from ballots submitted by 11 A.V.
Club staff members and contributors—would be eclectic, with plenty of dark horses sneaking up toward the front. Still, we were genuinely surprised at what ended up at the top of the list. Close to 300 films received votes, and not one of the movies that appear on this list appeared on every voter’s ballot. Still, one led the pack in terms of both votes and points—a movie that seemed, at the outset, like anything but a consensus favorite.
Were you surprised with the final results? 20. 3 1/2 Minutes, Ten Bullets · Film Review. The toxic paranoia poisoning American life is on display in 3 ½ Minutes, Ten Bullets, a fine and timely documentary about the 2012 killing of black youth Jordan Davis in a convenience store parking lot by Michael Dunn, a middle-aged white man who believed that the 17-year-old student meant to do him harm—and later that Florida’s infamous Stand Your Ground laws would protect him in court, as they did George Zimmerman.
The outcome of the case is now a matter of public record, but Marc Silver’s film, which was mostly shot over the course of the trial and features plenty of footage of the proceedings, still bristles with tension and uncertainty. Not about Dunn’s culpability, which is established early on and never really rebutted—even by his own defense team. EL CRIMEN DE ZACARIAS BARRIENTOS. British film on the crest of a new wave. At Cannes, in May, there was anxious talk.
Of the 70-plus features showcased at the film festival only two of them were British. Did it signal a decline in the UK industry? By the end of 2013, would our film people be wringing their hands while cinemagoers queued up for American fare and the House of Lords unhappily convened a select committee? Without a doubt, the pair of British films on show at Cannes were excellent – Clio Barnard's The Selfish Giant and Paul Wright's For Those in Peril – both bruising, powerful dramas.
But French and American and Mexican and Chinese and Cambodian film-makers left Cannes with the top prizes; meanwhile fans and boosters of British cinema travelled back across the Channel in mild panic. Scoot forward a few months, the international festival train having rolled on from Cannes through Locarno and Venice and Telluride and Toronto, and everything looks different.

Wadjda is the first Saudi Arabian feature to be directed by a woman.
Shot in the suburbs of Riyadh, Haifaa Al-Mansour's film tells the story of an 10-year-old who wants to buy a green bicycle to race against her friend Abdullah. Wadjda (Waad Mohammed) shouldn't want a bike (her mum's worried – it could ruin her virginity), she shouldn't – as a girl on the edge of puberty – really be playing with Abdullah. But she does, cheerfully and with cursory regard for mum's fretting or the disapproval of her staunchly traditionalist teacher. She wears Converse under her traditional garb – a handy visual metaphor for the film itself. The best films for spring 2013. Link to video: The Look of Love: watch the trailer Spring Breakers (dir.
Harmony Korine) Harmony Korine beguiles some and infuriates others. The best films of 2013. Most movies are about relationships—between law and order, between desire and duty, between the past and the present.
But in 2013, many of the great and memorable films—the ones that moved or shocked or stuck with us—were about relationships in the most traditional sense of the word: This was the year of Jesse and Céline, of Adèle and Emma, and of Joaquin Phoenix and his computer. There were mysterious romances, like the pig-related courtship of Upstream Color, and platonic love stories, like Frances Ha and Prince Avalanche.
For cinephiles, love wasn’t just in the movies, but also in the air: There was so much to adore—so many fine, unconventional films, a large number of them American—that a list of 20 almost doesn’t do the year justice. Regardless, that’s what we’ve assembled below, joining heads to count down the best of what 2013 had to offer. 20. 19. 18. 17. 16. 15. 14. 13. 12. 10 best films of 2013. Top 10 silent movies. 10.

Man With a Movie Camera To best understand this 1929 silent documentary, one ought to know that its director, the exotically named "Dziga Vertov", was actually born David Abelevich Kaufman in 1896. 10 películas del Festival de Cannes que no nos queremos perder >> Versión muy original.

Reparto: Tilda Swinton, Tom Hiddleston, Mia Wasikowska, John Hurt y Anton Yelchin.

American Film Institute names top 10 films of 2013 ahead of Oscars. The American Film Institute has named its top films of 2013, offering up one of the most accurate pictures so far of the likely nominees for next year's Oscar for best film.
The AFI list is, in alphabetical order: American HustleCaptain PhillipsFruitvale StationGravityHerInside Llewyn DavisNebraskaSaving Mr BanksTwelve Years a SlaveThe Wolf of Wall Street. Last year eight out of the 10 films chosen by the institute were also named by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for the best picture category. Oscars experts are predicting that this year's list of Academy award nominees could be shorter, so the AFI rundown is bad news indeed for missing awards-season hopefuls such as Lee Daniels's The Butler, Woody Allen's Blue Jasmine, and the Aids drama Dallas Buyers Club. The best films of 2012. From the gut-wrenching, step-by-step chronology of the raid on Osama bin Laden’s compound in Abbottabad to seafaring cultists practicing Scientology-like rituals in the wake of World War II to the 16th president twisting arms over the passing of the 13th Amendment, the best films of 2012 brought history to life with an extraordinary scrupulousness that still left room for vivid artistic expression.
But searching for patterns in a best-of list like the one below does little justice to the films’ diversity and unruliness, and the many wondrous places movies took viewers this year, including the haunted landscapes of Turkey (Once Upon A Time In Anatolia) and Georgia (The Loneliest Planet), revitalized twists on the slasher (The Cabin In The Woods) and noir (Killer Joe) genres, and two vastly different takes on what love really means (Amour, The Deep Blue Sea).
The best films of 2012: Philip French's choice. The 23 best film directors in the world today. 1 - Paul Thomas Anderson Dillon Freasier and Daniel Day-Lewis in There Will Be Blood. Photo: Allstar. Best films of 2012 so far: an annotated checklist. Two times a year—at the halfway point and during list-making season in November—I send out a list of “significant” movies to the film staff so they can try to see as many as possible before our Year In Film feature. It’s just a simple checklist, presented in the order each film was released theatrically in New York City. The idea is to give our writers time to catch up and give relative obscurities like The Arbor (last year’s No. 13 on our conjoined Best Of The Year list) the same collective consideration as more widely heralded efforts like The Tree Of Life. In the interest of transparency—and recommending a bunch of movies we love—I’m making the halftime list public this year so our readers can play along at home.
A few caveats: My staff inevitably comes back to me with omissions, and I suspect there will be many in the comments below. 100 Best French Films - Time Out Paris. Tlatelolco: a 44 años de la tragedia, ocho películas y documentales en memoria de los caídos. Ciudad de México, 2 de oct (Sinembargo.mx) – A 44 años de la “Matanza de Tlatelolco”,es importante conocer más acerca de los orígenes y las causas de este lamentable hecho. Un crimen en el cual el Estado mexicano tuvo responsabilidad, y por el cual los señalados como supuestos responsables aún no pagan. No se sabe la cifra exacta de los y las estudiantes que perdieron la vida, tampoco se ha publicado una lista oficial con sus identidades. La Estela que se localiza en la Plaza de las Tres Culturas, en ese conjunto habitacional de la Ciudad de México, registra los nombres de 20 personas, y termina con un fragmento de un poema de Rosario Castellanos: “…y muchos otros compañeros cuyos nombres y edades aún no conocemos“.
Aquella tarde y noche del 2 de octubre de 1968, no sólo se arrebató la vida de decenas, cientos o miles de personas, sino también -coinciden los líderes sobrevivientes- se cortó de tajo con la rabia ideológica juvenil. 1. 2.La masacre de Tlatelolco 3.Borrar de la memoria.

Dowd and staff critic Ignatiy Vishnevetsky were just like you: thirsty, sweaty, forced to pay money out of their own pockets to see movies. Then, they got low-paying customer-service jobs that let them see all the movies they wanted for free.
Sure, they eventually became film critics. But before that, one worked in a video store and the other in a movie theater. So, what kind of movie do you feel like watching? The 50 best films of the ’90s (3 of 3) On Monday, we started counting down our top 50 films of the 1990s, which we tabulated by blind votes among the film-writing staff. Following parts one and two, here’s the last of the batch: our most acclaimed films of the decade. 10. Being John Malkovich (1999) For years, Charlie Kaufman’s screenplay for Being John Malkovich enjoyed a mixed reputation as a script far too brilliant and original to ever get made. The prevailing wisdom held that the script was too weird, dark, and meta to ever make it onto the big screen, even if the filmmakers did somehow manage to get an actor as prickly and difficult as Malkovich to play a version of himself as a sketchy, narcissistic, sex-obsessed jerk. 9.
