The Criticwire Survey: The Best Film of the Last 25 Years | Criticwire. The 32 Greatest Unscripted Movie Scenes. Much to the dismay of screenwriters, movies scripts aren’t always set in stone. They are often like living objects constantly evolving during the filming process.
Some films, like Jaws and Annie Hall, don’t even have a finished script when the cameras start to roll. Actors and actresses are regularly ad libbing, improvising or going off-script while reciting their lines. Sometimes the directors hate it – other times they love it. Check out these 32 great unscripted scenes – you may be surprised at how many of your favorite lines were off-the-cuff. Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) Director – Steven Spielberg While chasing Marion Ravenwood (Karen Allen) after she’s been kidnapped, archaeologist and adventurer Dr. The original script called for a long sword fight but a day earlier Ford got a severe case of food poisoning and didn’t have the energy to film the scene as written.
Zoolander (2001) Director – Ben Stiller In this scene involving former hand model J.P. The Godfather (1972) RoboCop (1987) The 23 best film directors in the world today | Film. 1 - Paul Thomas Anderson Though he's released only five films over a 16-year career, Paul Thomas Anderson has risen from promising young whiz-kid to Hollywood royalty with barely a bump along the way. As the scope of his work has tightened – from the sprawling ensembles of Boogie Nights and Magnolia through the intimate duologue of Punch-Drunk Love to the all-consuming solipsism of There Will Be Blood – so his dedication to his craft has intensified, with his disdain for PR and celebrity marking him out as the most devout film-maker of his generation (as well as the owner of one of Wikipedia's most glitz-free "personal life" sections).
His upcoming film The Master, a controversial look at the birth of a cult not entirely dissimilar to the Church of Scientology, should make that title inarguable. 2 - Lynne Ramsay When it was first announced that Lynne Ramsay was to direct an adaptation of We Need To Talk About Kevin, there were enormous sighs of relief all round: "It's in safe hands.

30 Essential Films Missing From The Sight & Sound Top 100. The trouble with a list is that not everyone is going to agree. What's often offered as a personal selection of favorites can often be taken by a reader as a personal affront, a sign of snobbery or boorishness, even if a list is a compilation from multiple contributors. And as the fuss over the Sight & Sound Greatest Films Of All Time poll reminds us, that'll likely always be the case. After all, we know that it's all just a fun exercise, and yet looking over the full list (published today on the magazine's website along with the 800-odd submissions from critics all of the world), we still feel the pang of the absence of some of our own favorites. So with the publication of the full poll today, we thought we'd politely offer our own suggestions of films missing from the list altogether, as well as another selection that got into the 250, but haven't yet cracked the top 100 (but could do in future years, given a film only needs a few dozen votes to make it in). 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
New York movies: The 100 best films set in New York City. By David Fear, Stephen Garrett, Joshua Rothkopf, Keith Uhlich and Alison Willmore Tue Jul 3 2012 Paradise and prison, bustling metropolis and the loneliest place on earth: New York City has a cinematic identity that infuses all walks of life. Even as we write our own narratives in this most famous of locations, we walk alongside fictional characters (and sometimes real ones, too, if we’re lucky). In selecting the 100 most essential New York movies, we kept the city’s boldness in mind. TONY Film staffers David Fear, Joshua Rothkopf and Keith Uhlich teamed up with movie experts Stephen Garrett and Alison Willmore to gather titles from all genres and eras—the widely known and the obscure—in pursuit of a complete picture of NYC on film. Our only parameter: The movie had to be set in New York City, not Metropolis (sorry, Superman fans), Oz (ditto, you Wiz diehards), nor anywhere else.

By Dustin Rowles | Seriously Random Lists | March 13, 2012 | Comments (0 View RottenTomatoes has been running a weekly feature for several years now, in which they ask a particular actor or director what their five favorite films are. It's a neat little series, and occasionally, you can try and determine whether that actor or actress is pulling a Rachel Greene and revealing that her favorite movie is Dangerous Liasons instead of what it actually is, Weekend at Bernies. Of the 35 Actors listed below, I actually think they're all being fairly honest, for better (Dane Cook) or worse (Taylor Lautner) or worst (Megan Fox).
I might also note that the fact Kramer vs. Kramer is on both John Krasinski and Emily Blunt's list does not bode well for their relationship. Among the titles listed, Kubrick is well represented, as is Marlon Brando, James Dean, Spielberg, and The Wizard of Oz. I would tentatively have to go with Jonah Hill. 1.
