"What's the AFI Project, you ask? For more information, or if you just enjoy my bemused ramblings, read here: http://www.spout.com/blogs/pip pin06/archive/2008/3/1/25756.a spx Amadeus is on the following AFI list: The Original Top 100 (#53) Greetings, ladies and gentlemen of Spoutland! Long time no blog. I blame this on my other great cultural love, theater. It is super difficult to watch films while, in this case, stage managing a little musical called Guys and Dolls at a local community theater for six days out of a week. As such, not only have I not been able to see many films (and thereby review them), I nearly forgot that I re-watched this little gem from the 80s a month ago, a film that curiously made the original AFI Greatest list but failed to register on any of the subsequent lists. I first saw Amadeus when I was in the eighth grade. For some reason, my English teacher - who n "

"One of the many fads for cinephilic YouTubers, perhaps next in popularity after mashups and sweded remakes, is the condensed movie. Actually, thanks to a recent Empire contest, the art of sweding and the art of fitting features into a 60-second time frame is now also a mashed-up fad (though I guess sweding has always involved shortened versions). But while in this day and age any fanboy can do a shortened remake of his or her favorite movie or an abridged recut that breaks a film down to its bare essentials (i.e. its use of the f-word), condensing a film is not necessarily a low art. Just look at the 76-minute video Academy by R. Luke DuBois, a conceptual artist who works with both audio and visual mediums. A couple of years ago, using a time-lapse process, DuBois crafted this compilation of sped-up versions of Best Picture Oscar winners, which he says “allows us to explore the temporal, "

"1. Almost Famous (2000) - I know a lot of people who dismiss this film, but It's one of my favorites. I truly captures the spirit of the era. 2. Nashville (1975) - An epic, sprawling masterpiece. One of Altman's finest achievements. 3. This Is Spinal Tap (1984) - What more should be said. Fantastic music & possible the funniest movies of all time.4. High Fidelity (2000) - Frears & company perfectly capture the spirit of the book. Made the whole Top 5 list process even more relevant.5. A Hard Day's Night (1964) - Obviously the songs are amazing, but this is one of the most fun films you could ever see.Runners Up:The Red ShoesFive Easy Pieces Amadeus "

"This is one of my favorite movies. I know that it is not historically correct for a lot of it, but it is a beautiful movie filled with lust, deceit, jealousy, and the most beautiful music. I absolutely love the Mozart Requiem and when they played the Lacrimosa as they dumped him in a pauper's grave with all those other bodies, it just tore my heart out. I recommend this movie to everyone (even if you don't like classical music, the story is enough to captivate you). "

"I first saw this film in a middleschool music class, and really enjoyed it. I realize it plays games with the actual facts of Mozart's life, but I don't think it detracts from the film as a beautiful expression of the power of orchestral and operatic music, and at least an attemt at (though I think it ultimately fails) a portrayal of genius.
