Some cool tags & lists for Movies

Anonymous 16 years, 11 months ago at Jul 3 18:58 -
"Some html is allow but links will work on their own most of the time if you just paste them in"

Oh, thanks.



Back to the tagging, am I the only one who tags his DVDs according to film classification (e.g. 15 or 18, etc.)?

Would Waking Life also be an example of rotoscoping? I've never heard this word before! :P

Not sure what Waking Life is, I'm afraid. Or the film.

Rotoscoping is, as lifted from Wikipedia:

...an animation technique in which animators trace over live-action film movement, frame by frame, for use in animated films. Originally, pre-recorded live-action film images were projected onto a frosted glass panel and re-drawn by an animator. This projection equipment is called a rotoscope, although this device has been replaced by computers in recent years.

Apparently it is digitally rotoscoped, as per information from Wikipedia, but the credits on IMDB just list the crew as animators. I think I'll just wit until I have the chance to see it to check the credits for rotoscopers and tag it so. ;)

Ipanema, you might like the "public domain" tag I used above to find free stuff. ;) Also, thank you! I had forgotten all about Bill Plympton cartoons and haven't seen one for more than a year! :D

Great sub-genre tags, rather than typical Comedy, Drama, Action, etc..

Revenge films

Adultery films

Prison films

Poverty films

Racism films

and this nice tag to help identify the real stinkers
Critically Bashed films

Since the comic book thread did so well, I thought I'd compile a list of Millennium Marvel Movies. Even though Blade is actually a late 90's movie...

Since I finished In Cold Blood not too long ago, I thought I'd list some Capote-related Films.

I myself have to do the same thing Munky and vice versa for some odd reason.

I just thought I'd post in this thread because I don't want it to get pushed all the way done by all the nonesensical threads. I like this thread. It gives me ideas.

Deleted 16 years, 10 months ago at Jul 11 7:28 -
Certainly. I've just about done all I can with those threads.

One thing we might consider is putting out requests of cool things to do lists on. I know most of us are going to do our own compilations, but for those that don't feel up to it, a good idea doesn't need to go to waste. :)

Raven 16 years, 10 months ago at Jul 12 8:06 -
That's an idea Thilian.

I've got an Eastern Eye (Asian, martial arts movies) and a World Cinema list. I pretty much just add movies to them as I watch them.

The tags I do aren't that exciting lol.

Deleted 16 years, 10 months ago at Jul 13 4:06 -
Thanks! Humor noted. :p

At any rate, I've compiled a list of Universal Classic Horror Films for the great memories they have given all of us. They shook the world of entertainment and reached into our very souls, pulling out our gothic sides. They are all black and white, and don't need to be changed in the least significant way.

I wish there was a feature in listal that if you find someone's list and you like it, you could go 'Save to My Favorites' and then you can quickly and easily check it out in the future

Thanks Prelude. I like that feature idea. And I'd like it if there was that feature you could get updates on it. I'm an update junkie.

I like the Universal Classic Horror list too. I might have to keep an eye out for them because I haven't seen them all and yes haven't heard of some. I am so sheltered :p

My friend, you are correct. Those posters were missing. Thank you for your continued support on these types of occurrences as well as your kind words on my lists. :)

I think that this community has put together some fantastic lists. Voxy said earlier that this thread was likely to get flooded with clutter of some sort. This was good speculation at the time, though I am glad to see that this hasn't in fact been the fate of this thread - or of the other list threads.

I agree that this would be an excellent feature. Voting is a good put up, and usually makes the voted feel proud of their work. Favoriting lists, however, could be to the benefit of the one who does the favoriting.
Thanks Prelude. I like that feature idea. And I'd like it if there was that feature you could get updates on it. I'm an update junkie.

I'm sure your protectors had your best interest in mind. :p Universal had a nice little Golden Era for a good while, there. I'm not surprised you've heard of a few.

The weekend seems to be the best time for me to make lists. Good thing it's Friday, with Driver's Ed over for the week.

have to revive my thread from the overflow of crap LOL

but also, found a small but nice tag, and wondering if people can start using it to help expand this touching category of films:

tagged with 'Loss of Child'

started a new list - anyone want to help fill it in?

speaking of which, that would be an awesome thing for listal - group lists that a few people can 'administer' and keep up to date. for example, 'Recent releases' or 'New on DVD' lists that a few select people can maintain.

anyways, i started to make a list of all Goofy shorts:

At Driver's Ed, they played a movie where three Dewpy-Dogs (Very resemblant of Goofy, and with the same voice actor) went out on the road and each played different examples of what not to do. The first one was too timid, the next one just wanted to own the road, and the last one just wasn't paying any attention. I don't know the name; I apologize for that.

If anyone's familiar with The Number 23, they might make a list on all of the films whose titles add up to be, numerically, twenty-three. I'd like to see that.

Prelude 16 years, 9 months ago at Aug 11 11:10 -
Number 23 was so-so. I found it too predictable, which ruined the end. If it had a truly unpredictably twist, it might've been a contender.

Relating things to the protagonist has been phased a little, I guess. The Darth Vader "I am your father" caught the fad in its ripe stage.

Though my concept would be insanely hard to achieve without some incredibly specific computer finding the statistics.

Gah, I suppose I don't watch many movies.
robelanator 16 years, 9 months ago at Aug 13 20:07 -
Here's a quirky one for the thread:

amateur dentistry

There are only three hits so far, but I'm sure there are at least a half dozen more films where a character has his or her teeth pulled by someone lacking proper certification.

EDIT: fixed link

Prelude 16 years, 9 months ago at Aug 14 12:03 -
an obvious one that is missing for 'amateur dentistry' - Cast Away, when Hanks rips his tooth out with a skate. lol
Deleted user
Deleted 16 years, 9 months ago at Aug 14 22:34 -
It's funny how often that occurs. It's in horror movies (to frighten), romantic comedies (to amuse), and even in mystery (when they pull out their sensors). In Spy Kids 2, how did they pull those out? I'm pretty sure they just yanked them out themselves. So that's a candidate.
VIP

Prelude 16 years, 9 months ago at Aug 14 23:02 -
oh oh, another one. 'Whole Nine Yards'. they ripped out all teeth of a dead gangster and replaced them with casted teeth of Jimmy the Tulip to make everyone think he died based on dental records. haha. love that movie.

then again, its not really 'amateur dentistry', is it? lol
robelanator 16 years, 9 months ago at Aug 16 1:51 -
Yeah, my roommate actually mentioned Whole Nine Yards, but then remembered that the character doing the pulling was a real dentist.

I don't own Cast Away or Spy Kids 2, and it seems I'm not able to tag DVDs I don't own. If anyone else could add the "amateur dentistry" tag to those it would be appreciated (by me, anyway).

I spent my afternoon slapping some stuff together.

Miscellaneous Monster Lists:
Monsters You Don't Want to Look in the Eye (5 items, though that good ole eye trick probably crops up elsewhere)
When the Monster is the Hunted (6 items, but surely not all monster features have the creatures going into cities and destroying buildings)
King Kong Films (5 items, when there should be at least eight)

I'm sure there's much more you guys could mention. I always seemed to get the clean monster movies, being caught up more with the Japanese kaiju genre of giant monsters and whatnot. I've been getting caught up on the Classic Horror ones lately, but my viewing history doesn't cover the "monster movie" genre as a whole. I was actually surprised I found so many Succubus movies. Likewise, my DVD collection is pretty sparse. The one Listal section I've left the most underdeveloped - besides doing lists for it - is the movies section. Although I don't even have a TV section. :p

Great lists, Thillian. Here's one to add for Cyclops:

There's a great series of scenes where a Cyclops keep Ulysses trapped in a cave with boulder and has to cleverly outwit the monster to escape.

Thanks for the add. That scene is considered one of the highlights of the epic poem. I actually watched that movie in English last year, I believe. Thanks for reminding me about it; I'd completely overlooked the possibility of The Odyssey renditions (which is strange, since I'm such a strong fan of Greek mythology).

Admittedly, some of my lists are rather short. I guess popular culture hasn't incorporated mythology as much as I'd have thought. The monsters do appear in various series', but listing those wouldn't do much since it's mostly just in one episode per monster... I'm going to upload some pictures for a few of the films on my lists.

what's the hold up, slacker? lol

maybe it's not good to promote making secondary account, but I had to do that for tagging up certains movies. I wanted to tag up all films in the '300 Greatest Films' list, but I didn't necessarily watch or even want to watch all of them, so i made a 2nd account in which i can make such mass-tagging efforts.

Might be handy to have a 2nd account if you will go on a tagging binge, without it 'messing up' your REAL list of movies you've seen or want to see.

Huh? Why can't you tag movies you haven't seen, Prelude? I don't have a problem with it. Are you taking stuff off of your profile? I just use a list-exclusive search function.

Whatever's going on with certain members who can't tag movies they don't own, I've been working on the Greek Mythology list. It's only about twenty-one movies right now, though I find it extremely amusing that "Clash of the Titans" is right under "Hercules in New York". :p I've been pretty strict about what items go in it, but I'll take note of any suggestions about approach.
