Martin Scorsese's "A Personal Journey through American Movies"
I just watched this fantastic documentary on film by Martin Scorsese and decided to make a list containing all the films showcased. It is not a comprehensive guide to cinema, but a mix of essential films and his personal favorites. It cover 1900-1969, when he started making films, and contains exactly 100 films. This 4 hour documentary comes in 3 parts
1- The films that got Scorsese interested in film as a child, the Hollywood system and genre films; including Western, gangster and musical. Ends with All That Jazz
2-Starting over in the silent era, this part covers technological and storytelling innovations as well as the introduction of themes in Hollywood movies. Also covers film Noir. Ends with Kiss Me Deadly
3- Goes further into themes and motives in film and the changing Hollywood of the 50's leading up to 1969
I want to checks all these out. I've only seen eleven percent of them.
The film does a great job of selling them to you, although many of the clips are potentially spoiler heavy.
>The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones 17 – Masks of Evil
Wat.
He interviews George Lucas when talking about CGI affects. Go figure, right? Apparently it had lots of post-production done to make it looks more stylized.
Oh wow. My subconscious must have repressed that.
Thank you for making this list. I loved this documentary.
Damn fine listing, Mongoose. The more I keep referring back to it the more and more impressed I am by the layout, broken up into three sections and such.
