anthology film archives essential cinema - 22 to go ... that's a lot

It was nearly impossible for me to find african movies to download... any tips ?

For the Anthology list, that's not actually a lot - sort the list by runtime and focus on the shorts. I'm ranked #258 there without even ever focusing on that list (just on shorts). Check the links in the ICM comments.

For the African movies, I haven't had any problem (though I'm US). Most of the ones I've watched were from ICM comments links, so check there. Some of the more popular ones will show up on streaming platforms if you search for them, so check there, too. justwatch.com does a decent job at telling you what's available to you in your country on platform [X].

[Tim2460]

Thx fot the info maxwelldeux.

What would be the best way to actually download the film as well as watching them ? I only check films i Own & watch here @icm

I have web platfroms that works on maybe 80% of the youtube links ... but rarely on the other websites ,(

I don't download much, so I'm not the best to ask - I've used Video DownloadHelper as a Firefox extension, but don't know about other sites.

Also, you know you can separately mark films as watched and owned on ICM, right?

[Tim2460]

Video DownloadHelper kind of worked Fine maxwelldeux.

I'm down to maybe 5 list and just 15 films to go before joingning the club here ,)

There were some ... very weird Brief to watch !

179/181, Bollywood and Turkey missing but everything else is top 300 and my goal is top 200 club. There are a few people in the top 100 club, and that is quite impressive to me.

Surprisingly even though I've been terrible about watching movies for the last year and a half this is still mostly true, though I have many more lists over 200 now.
Changes from July 2017 which is the last time I kept track of anything.

[Ebbywebby]

I'm top 500 on exactly 100 lists. I've never noted the tally before, so I don't know if it's up or down.

(I feel like I always underachieve with criteria like this, considering my rank, because I think my official checks tend to be films that aren't on a lot of lists. Shorts, foreign-language, experimental stuff, whatever. And there are a lot of big Hollywood classics that I haven't bothered to see.)

[Tim2460]

Finally found some Iranian and Russian films to look during the weekend and i'm now an top500 Club Member !

My next target is the 400 club... witch is only 49 films away. Bit it means finding even more Iranina and Russian Films : Help Help

I'll released an List to show what it takes to join the top 500 in the early 2019 ! ,)

[tourdesb]

I won't talk about the Russian lists but it's actually quite easy to find some Iranian movies by Panahi, Kiarostami or Farhadi you haven't seen yet.
I would definitely recommend Mashgh-e Shab, Khane-ye doust kodjast? and Badkonake sefid (and I think those 3 are available on Youtube with english subtitles).

[Nathan Treadway]

I'd wait on some of the Kiarostami titles, as Criterion is coming out with the Koker set soonish (Where is the Friends Home, Life and Nothing More and Through the Olive Trees). There isn't a whole lot of Panahi or Farhadi on the list, either.

Davandeh and Bashu are probably among my favorites that you haven't seen yet. Davandeh does have a link on the profile.

[Tim2460]

Of the only 4 films i haven't seen witch are on more than 10 lists... 2 Are Kiarostami's !!

Just created list for films on more than 10 and 20 lists, and updated the 1 2 and above 3 ones !

I already maintain a list of films on 10 lists. It's fairly up to date (last updated Jan 31).

I'd go ahead and watch Dah. Where is the Friends Home, I'd wait on, until the Criterion set comes out.

[Tim2460]

was unable to find an download version of Dah on my usenets searchs ...
Will try to see if i can dig an Dvd copy here in Dijon ,)

So something of a milestone reached tonight as I added two more years to my 100 checks + list (1945 & 1961) - I have 100+ checks for each year beginning with 1942 and ending in 2017. Most checks is just over 390 (2004 - 2007) inclusive. Both 1940 & 1941 are also close to 100 checks with 97 and 91 checks respectively, but the number drops off quickly before that.

I may have to consider forming a Top 200 club now as my single worst showing in the rankings is 219 on the Czech/Slovak list. Only other list over 200 is Annecy. And unbelievably, I'm in the 150s now on Zombies (so no longer close to my worst showing).

Nice! I have exactly one year with 100+ checks (2016) - and in a similar era, 1947 is my most recent year with fewer than 10 checks. Interestingly, the Czech Slovak list is in the top quarter of my rankings...

This isn't an issue that I worry about but, let's see, I'm top 500 in 102/194 lists. I also see that I'm one film away from hitting top 500 on these lists:

53 Magyar Film - Best Hungarian Films, 100 Korean Films, IMDb's Drama Top 50, IMDb's 1950s Top 50, IMDb's 1960s Top 50, IMDb's 1970s Top 50, Yle News' Best Finnish Films of All Time, Bodil Award Winners for Best Danish Film, Taschen 100 All-time favorite movies

Films I'm most likely to see from these lists: Satantango (watchlist), Sleuth (watchlist), Calamari Union (watchlist), The Human Condition !: No Greater Love, Peppermint Candy (Amazon Prime queue), Mother (2009), The Round-Up, Pelle the Conqueror, The 4th Man.

I am both goal- and statistic-oriented, so I like to follow along with stuff like this. It doesn’t dictate the stuff I watch, but it’s nice checking every few months and seeing progress of a sort being made.

I don't really work on lists that way, and I watch many non-official films... But when I don't have a specific notion of what to watch, I usually have a small ICM watchlist, for which I usually include a few films I added because of the official lists (provided they interest me, of course.

top 1: 31
top 10: 0
top 50: 8
top 100: 37
top 250: 96
top 500: 21
top 1000: 1

I'm still behind on the most checked list, as there are 3 films left I haven't felt like watching for some time. However, a close friend insists on showing me Pocahontas, so even on this list there is room for progress (but it won't change much, as it would push me from #897 to #733...)
