6.25% exactly. I didn't plan for that but the even fraction is very satisfying. I'm expecting the proportion to drop since I'm currently on a binge of B&W Hollywood films.
Two tier 10 films directed by women: The Matrix and Shrek.

Re: What do you consider to be the top ~10 best books ever written?
I don't feel like I've read enough literature (especially classical literature) to be able to answer that question, but this might be a good place to start browsing: m I've noticed that a lot of the highest ranked novels aren't exactly accessible to average adult Anglophone. Joyce, Proust, Faulkner,...

Re: WTF?
Is there no longer a/the Producer? I know executive producers are mostly people with names who can go to cocktail parties or elsewhere and scrounge a film's financing. But what are all the other types of producers? And in the unlikely event that this movie is nominated, much less wins, an Oscar, wh...

Re: new here and seeking recommendations
Philosophy: Network (1976) also by Sidney Lumet but the real star is the screenplay by Paddy Chayefskys with towering monologues and a commentary on the media that has only ripened with age. I'd like to double-down on the recommendation for Network. It's a rare example of a film that's only become ...

Re: The movie with the highest number of rankings you've never seen
Don't you ever have the desire to to watch a shitty film? Yes, sometimes. If I watch nothing but great films for a while I feel like I can lose perspective and start to hate films over very minor details, while losing sight of it's total achievement and overall artistry. Halfway through a Kurosawa ...

Re: The movie with the highest number of rankings you've never seen
Of the first page of most-ranked movies (so, the top 60), I've seen three quarters of them, so there are 15 I haven't seen. Here they are, with their position on the list indicated: 4. Forrest Gump 5. The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring 7. The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King...

Hackers. Absolutely one of the funnest popcorn flicks I have ever seen, and it honestly gets better the more outdated it gets.
