† NOTE: This is first of two lists based on Women Make Film: A New Road Movie Through Cinema (2019) by Mark Cousins. This list (with TCM premier dates) is narrower in scope and is a complete showcase of TCM's 2020 Women Make Film Film Festival through DEC 1, 2020. My second list (similar but broader), Women Make Film II, is a compendium of all the films by chapter that appear in Cousins' 14 hour documentary. It's ranked and notated to mirror the documentary's structure. https://trakt.tv/users/lezelmaz/lists/women-make-film-ii
†† NOTE: As I developed my broader Women Make Film II list, I noticed that while most films curated by TCM for their Women Make Film Film festival are culled from Cousins' documentary, several films (along with those female directors) did not originate from his doc, and are not included in that other Women Make Film II list.
This list contains the favorite movies of movie critic Jonathan Rosenbaum who writes for the Chicago Reader. The movies span virtually every decade, and include many an obscure movie.

Rotten Tomatoes - Best of year
A list of films John Waters has referenced in his interviews, books, commentaries, and other work as influential to his career or that he is a fan of otherwise.
Includes all of the films ranked in his yearly 'Artforum: Best Of' year-end lists. (https://joeclark.org/dossiers/johnwaters.html)
This list is a work in progress, by no means a complete reference.

The goal is to watch the best movies from each country.
If you, my imaginary friend, have any suggestions, just leave a comment.
I was planning to watch 193 movies (since there's 193 countries at the UN), but I'll add a few other regions, like Greenland and Aruba, that have different film culture.
Since I have a lot of free time, I might add more than one per country. We'll see.

This is a list of movies and series based on historical figures that I've watched or plan to watch.
dialogue driven films characterized by long conversations between two characters sharing a moment together.
The Nazi Party emerged from the extremist German nationalist, racist and populist Freikorps paramilitary culture, which fought against the communist uprisings in post–World War I Germany. The party was created to draw workers away from communism and into völkisch nationalism. Initially, Nazi political strategy focused on anti–big business, anti-bourgeois, and anti-capitalist rhetoric. This was later downplayed to gain the support of business leaders, and in the 1930s the party's main focus shifted to antisemitic and anti-Marxist themes.
