    List of films considered the best From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Films considered the greatest ever) Page semi-protected This list needs additional citations for verification. Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be chall enged and removed. (November 2008) While there is no general agreement upon the greatest film, many publications an d organizations have tried to determine the films considered the best. Each film listed here has been mentioned in a notable survey, whether a popular poll, or a poll among film reviewers. Many of these sources focus on American films or we re polls of English-speaking film-goers, but those considered the greatest withi n their respective countries are also included here. Many films are widely consi dered among the best ever made, whether they appear at number one on each list o r not. For example, many believe that Orson Welles' Citizen Kane is the best mov ie ever made, and it appears as #1 on AFI's Best Movies list, whereas The Shawsh ank Redemption is #1 on the IMDB Top 250, whilst Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back is #1 on the Empire magazine's Top 301 List. None of the surveys that produced these citations should be viewed as a scientif ic measure of the film-watching world. Each may suffer the effects of vote stack ing or skewed demographics. Internet-based surveys have a self-selected audience of unknown participants. The methodology of some surveys may be questionable. S ometimes (as in the case of the American Film Institute) voters were asked to se lect films from a limited list of entries.

  • Personal Branding of Jesus –Portrayed in the Movies 1897-2014: Applying Meaning Theory of Media Portrayal
    Personal Branding of Jesus –Portrayed in the Movies 1897-2014: Applying Meaning Theory of Media Portrayal Carly Stiana Scheffer-Sumampouw, Universitas Pelita Harapan, Indonesia The Asian Conference on Arts & Humanities 2016 Official Conference Proceedings Abstract A phenomenal figure throughout the centuries, a hero for Christians and the savior for believers –JESUS- is the name that is the center of this research. More than twenty movies since 1987 until 2014 –in fact the newest of Ewan McGregor’s has been featured on Sundance film festival 2015- have been portraying the life, the death and the resurrection of Jesus. By definition, branding is all about creating differences. Derived from marketing and communication science, personal brand is about specific characteristics, unique quality, name and symbol that each person has and that conveys meaning to others. This paper explores the personal branding of Jesus –how He is different from other persons, if not other religious leaders. How He is unique depicted from these movies. What are His unique selling propositions which inspire mankind? And what are His brand promise? It argues whether the movies shown throughout different times and languages manage to portray true meaning (image and USP) based on the Bible. Movies as media portrayal can establish, extend, substitute and stabilize the meaning, but at the same time it can reduce the meaning of the name Jesus. Keywords: Jesus, movies, personal, branding, meaning, media, portrayal, bible iafor The International Academic Forum www.iafor.org Introduction Feature films nowadays have been one of the most favorite media ultimately for audience to receive entertainment if not information.

  • Entmythologisierung Versus Imitatio Jesu Thematisierungen Des Evangeliums in Denys Arcands Film ,Jesus Von Montreal" Von Reinhold Zwick
    Communicatio Socialis 23 (1990), Nr. 2: 17-47 Quelle: www.communicatio-socialis.de Entmythologisierung versus Imitatio Jesu Thematisierungen des Evangeliums in Denys Arcands Film ,Jesus von Montreal" von Reinhold Zwick 1. Von Scorsese zu Arcand Nach gut zehnjähriger Pause- sieht man einmal ab von Herbert Achtern­ buschs provokativem Zwischenspiel ("Das Gespenst", BRD 1983)- scheint die Gestalt ]esu Christi ihre Renaissance im Film zu erleben. Mit Franeo Zeffirellis ,Jesus von Nazareth" (Großbritannien/Italien 1977) war ein vorläufiger End­ punkt der herkömmlichen historisierenden, 'orthodox' gemeinten Evangelien­ adaptionen erreicht. (Der biblizistische ,Jesus" von John Heyman - USA 1979- ist in seiner Ästhetik und inhaltlichen Ausrichtung ein peinlicher Rückfall in die Zeit der 'Bibelschinken' a Ia Cecil B. DeMille.) Nun aber hat sich nach Martin Scorsese mit Denys Arcand1 in kurzer Folge ein weiterer, bereits recht namhafter Regisseur des meistverfilmten Stoffes der Filmgeschichte angenommen. Scorse­ se und Arcand nähern sich der Zentralgestalt des Christentums beide auf sehr persönliche, neuartige Weise, aber mit ganz verschiedenen Auffassungen. Be­ reits die Filmtitel signalisieren die Differenz: In Form einer psychologischen Rekonstruktion hatte Scorsese in seiner "Letzten Versuchung Christi" zu schil­ dern gesucht, wie sich in einem spannungsvollen Prozeß im Selbstbewußtsein Jesu der Christus durchsetzt, um so- durchaus in kerygmatischer Absicht-]esus dem heutigen Menschen von innen heraus als den Christus nahezubringen. Umgekehrt wird der Kinogäuger von Arcands ,Jesus von Montreal" eine Akzen­ tuierung des Menschenjesus erwarten, und auch diese nur vermittelt über eine mit dem Erlöser in Beziehung gesetzte Figur in der kanadischen Metropole. So unterschiedlich wie ihr Grundansatz war auch die Resonanz, die die beiden Filme bislang fanden.

  • The Peformative Grotesquerie of the Crucifixion of Jesus
    THE GROTESQUE CROSS: THE PERFORMATIVE GROTESQUERIE OF THE CRUCIFIXION OF JESUS Hephzibah Darshni Dutt A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2015 Committee: Jonathan Chambers, Advisor Charles Kanwischer Graduate Faculty Representative Eileen Cherry Chandler Marcus Sherrell © 2015 Hephzibah Dutt All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jonathan Chambers, Advisor In this study I argue that the crucifixion of Jesus is a performative event and this event is an exemplar of the Grotesque. To this end, I first conduct a dramatistic analysis of the crucifixion of Jesus, working to explicate its performativity. Viewing this performative event through the lens of the Grotesque, I then discuss its various grotesqueries, to propose the concept of the Grotesque Cross. As such, the term “Grotesque Cross” functions as shorthand for the performative event of the crucifixion of Jesus, as it is characterized by various aspects of the Grotesque. I develop the concept of the Grotesque Cross thematically through focused studies of representations of the crucifixion: the film, Jesus of Montreal (Arcand, 1989), Philip Turner’s play, Christ in the Concrete City, and an autoethnographic examination of Cross-wearing as performance. I examine each representation through the lens of the Grotesque to define various facets of the Grotesque Cross. iv For Drs. Chetty and Rukhsana Dutt, beloved holy monsters & Hannah, Abhishek, and Esther, my fellow aliens v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS St. Cyril of Jerusalem, in instructing catechumens, wrote, “The dragon sits by the side of the road, watching those who pass.
