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.

A Filmmaker's Guide to 'JFK' (1991) Pt. 1
It is recommended that you watch Oliver Stone's film JFK (1991) before reading this article, as it will make the article easier to understand. If you would like to get the most out of this article then I would watch the film more than once over.

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.

Ranked: Bob Dylan's Bootleg Series
Bob Dylan's Bootleg series is probably bigger than some bands entire career's worth of recordings. We aren't finished yet since we have only made it halfway through his career - we still have so many bootlegs to go (I believe). Up to now, we've got 14 volumes of pure excellence - versions of similar songs that never made it to the album, demos and short clips and even some songs that are completely new and recorded in their entirety.

The 5 Best Covers: "All Along the Watchtower" by Bob Dylan
Today, we're going through the top five best covers of Bob Dylan's seminal minimalist era song, "All Along the Watchtower."Released as a single with the B-Side "I'll Be Your Baby Tonight" and on the great minimalist album of the 60s, John Wesley Harding (1967). This song represents the cyclical nature of humanity with its careful guitar work and its enigmatic lyrics surrounding the conversation between the "Joker" and the "Thief."

My Essential Songs: Frank Sinatra
Frank Sinatra was one of the most influential singers of the 20th Century and is still one of the best selling artists of all time. He has not only earned himself recognition in the field of music, but also in the field of film, having an academy award as another accolade to his name. He signed to Columbia records in 1943 and from then on, was an icon of teenage girls everywhere.

My Essential Songs: Nina Simone
Artist, activist, jazz musician, songwriter, composer—those are only some of the attributes that are attached to jazz legend, Nina Simone. North Carolinian beauty and intelligence rolled up into one, she paved the way for many jazz musicians after her, being sampled in everything from rap music to pop music. Her cultural influence is phenomenal and is spread internationally. Not many musicians can say they have had the cultural influence of Nina Simone.

My Essential Songs: Michael Jackson
Musician and humanitarian, Michael Jackson is the most famous name in all of music history. There are many accolades to his name and the awards he has won are pretty endless. This has made him the most decorated artist of all time and won him the respect of the entire music industry. He's done R&B, blues, pop, swing, dance and so much more, contributing to music much more than most of the artists around him.

The 5 Best Covers: "I Shall Be Released" by Bob Dylan
"I see my light come shining..." is one of the most famous opening lines in gospel folk rock. Bob Dylan opens the chorus to his great song with this incredible line. Now, please don't be fooled as there are two versions of this song. There is one that appears on the Greatest Hits Vol. 2 and there is one, which is slightly more famous that appears on the Bootleg Vol. 11: The Raw Basement Tapes. The one on the Raw Basement Tapes is the one that people normally cover.
