100 Films to Watch If You're Going to Study Film (Pt. 5)
As I have said, I had another one of these already planned. I'm not going to lie to you—I planned them all before I started writing part one. Hopefully, this is the last part in the series (I say hopefully because, well, you never know with me, I tend to drag it out for as long as physically possible).

100 Films to Watch If You're Going to Study Film (Pt. 4)
Here we are at Part Four and I want to say thank you to whoever is reading these because, honestly, they're quite long. I've tried to keep an open mind about what I'm going to write in this series and I am accepting suggestions if you have any and can justify why it should be on the list for studying film.

100 Films to Watch If You're Going to Study Film (Pt. 3)
As you already know, I've covered Part One and Two already and so, if you want the more popular films watched by students of film, then please go to those articles. You would probably want to read Part One, one to 10 since those are the ones mostly covered by film theories everywhere. They've been over-analysed so much that well, there's hardly anything left. You could surprise me by giving me an analysis on one of those films that I haven't yet seen. And trust me, I have seen a lot.

100 Films to Watch If You're Going to Study Film (Pt. 2)
As you already know, we've covered most of the obvious ones in "Part One" of this exercise. These posts are made to mark the end of season one of "The Filmmaker's Guide to..." and now, we move on to season two in which there are longer, more difficult films to analyse. Not the ones we've already done aren't difficult enough, let's just say the first one we're looking at for season two is a certain film by Oliver Stone. That article may be cut up into two parts since there is so much I want to say and I don't want to keep you longer than you're obliged to stick around.

100 Films to Watch If You're Going to Study Film
As you all know, I hold a MA in Film and Writing and have a lot of experience with writing and studying film. I love this medium of entertainment because it involves so much storytelling and art in order to convey a productive and interesting narrative.

Disney's Most Failed Villains
I wrote an article with Disney's most successful villains of all time—now let's look at the failures. Here is the list: Gaston: He basically did nothing in the movie other than be a straight up jerk. He became so obsessed with Belle that he wanted to ruin her life. He locked up her father and her but they both escaped. He wanted to kill the beast, but in turn he then killed himself by accident. Well, that is not a very good success story, Gaston. You literally lost everything. Hades: Even though he was a powerful god, he failed to kill Hercules on many attempts and then he got sucked by his own soul in the end. He had released all of these things to destroy Zeus and failed, but that was thanks to Hercules for being awesome. Edgar from TheAristocats was probably the most useless villains of all. He got rid of the cats after hearing that Madame Adelaide was going to give her fortune to her cats. He shipped them off and thought that was it. Then, the cats sent him to Timbuktu he really messed up on this one. He did not even drown them, which thankfully worked out for the main characters. The Stepmother from Cinderella: She was just bossy and mean, in the end she did not die, she just did not get a happy ending like Cinderella. There was no effect that she stayed alive after Cinderella got married to Prince Charming, she had no powers, she was just plain mean. Prince John from Robin Hood: He was the biggest baby of them all since he sucked his thumb and asked for mommy. He also had no real lion's mane. He could not grow one because of how unfit he was for a king. His obsession with Robin Hood is what lead this villain to his doom. Syndrome: He really tried. He was rich, he was powerful, he was smart, he was really at the top of his game, but one whack on the head from his own machine and he gets knocked out cold? He then tries to retaliate by trying to kidnap Jack-Jack and then died because his cape got stuck in the turbine. I mean come on, he could have been the next best villain, he had everything going for him to be a villain in the next movie, too bad, so sad. Cruella De Vil: Yes, we dog lovers hate her. She only wanted fur coats though, and she did manage to scrounge up two minions to do the dirty work for her, but she basically did nothing but yell in the movie and have a car chase with a truck driver, but essentially she did not succeed even though she was crazy enough to be successful as a villain. Captain Hook from Peter Pan: He wanted vengeance for Peter for cutting off his hand, but I feel that he did not even come close to that. He ended up getting chased by the crocodile into the sunset. Captain Hook was a full grown adult and he could not beat a simple child. Yzma from Emperor's New Groove: I love this woman and her weirdness and of course the unforgettable voice. She just wants the throne and to rule the world. Kronk and she go through the jungle, were in the same restaurant as Kuzko and still failed to kill him—she was the comedy of the movie. As much as I love the character, she most certainly failed as a villain. Madam Mim: gets the last spot on this list. For a good reason, she had very little part to play in the movie. She goes head to head with Merlin and ends up sick in bed, which took a total of ten minutes in the movie. Quite honestly, if anyone was the villain it was the knights who treated Arthur like garbage, but then he became king, so it was not that bad.

My All-Time Favorite Movies: #40-21
This month is my 40th birthday. Whenever my birthday comes up, I always want to do something big. Since I had already chosen my favorite songs and my favorite video games, the most logical choice was to count down my favorite movies of all-time. Despite it being the most logical idea, it was also the most intimidating. I've seen hundreds of movies of every type over the decades I've been breathing. How the hell can I possibly narrow that down to 40, let alone rank them?

Short Story to Big Screen. Top Story - February 2019.
It's remarkable that a few words on the printed page, no longer than your average term paper, can be the cornerstone of a blockbuster film. Sometimes we find the movie before the story, sometimes the story before the movie, and sometimes we don't even know about the story at all. Here are a few memorable films that started out as short stories. Some you may already know, but others may surprise you.
