Letterboxd 5019o APinkFloydian

Make it 4 animation filmography challenges this year (Pixar -> Blue Sky -> Ghibli). Shorter one this time, tbh I’m looking forward to that part of it, 20+ films in 3 weeks can be too much to keep up with for me. I’ll fit these 6 (including Corpse Bride as it was still their contract work for Warner Bros.) into 6 days. I’ve seen two of these ~9mos ago but don’t know anything about the others except that I love me some stop-motion.

Also shoutout Katherine P for making sure I check out this studio next.

LB Average: 3.6 (High/Low: Coraline/The Boxtrolls)
My Average: tbd

Order watched:
Corpse Bride
Coraline

Official Top 250 Narrative Feature Films 1h6049

Sun, 11 Sep 2022 18:55:30 +1200

Letterboxd's Top 250 movies, based on the average weighted rating of all Letterboxd s. I removed all stand-up specials, stage plays, concert films, documentaries, shorts, 'collection listings' and other 'rarities', so only feature length narrative movies are listed here. Films should have a minimum of 5,000 ratings to be eligible to enter the list.

As a sister to this list, we also have a Top 50 films with less than 5,000 ratings, so be sure to check out the more obscure gems there!

My friend Jack Moulton made a list of Letterboxd Top 250 documentaries, go check it out!

And last but not least there is a companion piece to this list with all films that were once part of the Top 250.

A few statistics...

The oldest movie on the list is Buster Keaton's Sherlock Jr., released in 1924. The most popular decades in the list are the 1950's and 1990's with 37 entries. A complete overview:
1920's - 5 entries
1930's - 4 entries
1940's - 15 entries
1950's - 37 entries
1960's - 35 entries
1970's - 27 entries
1980's - 26 entries
1990's - 37 entries
2000's - 28 entries
2010's - 30 entries
2020's - 6 entries

Akira Kurosawa seems to be Letterboxd's most popular director, with 8 entries in the list, of which 4 in the top 40. Next in line with 6 titles are Bergman and Tarkovsky.

All popular directors:
8 entries - Akira Kurosawa

Vincent Price 6k551p

Sat, 10 Sep 2022 05:33:20 +1200

I was looking for a Vincent price list the other day and couldn't find a complete one. I've always loved his movies and I have been wanting to fill in the gaps lately. This list is so I can keep track of what I still need to see but I figured everyone could use a list of Vincent Price's horror and sci fi movies.

Introducing Your Kids to Horror (Level 1) 514a5i Spooky Family Fun

Fri, 2 Sep 2022 07:38:14 +1200

Want to introduce your kids to horror without scarring them for life? Gory will show you how with her Intro to Horror Course. Let's start with spooky movies that the whole family can enjoy.

This is an all-ages list so most of these will be target at kids anyway. For the list though, I'm limiting it to movies that parents should be able to enjoy as well. None of these movies have swearing or nudity and the scares are fairly tame.

Introducing Your Kids to Horror (Level 2) 2o483r Ages 8-13+

Fri, 2 Sep 2022 07:37:02 +1200

Want to introduce your kids to horror without scarring them for life? Gory will show you how with her Intro to Horror Course. For the most part, level 2 is fairly tame but a few of these films have some scary imagery or the occasional swear word.

It really depends on your kids and what they can handle, but this list should'nt be too scary or boring for most horror-lovin' kids ages 8-13+. My son is 12 and he's enjoyed all of these movies.
