I have decided, mainly out of my curiosity, to try and compile a top 10 list of IL-2 movies from my nearly 600 video files of IL-2 flicks I have collected over the last two years or so.
This will certainly not be an easy process, and I expect the final list will take a few weeks to compile as I watch and compare each contender against the other.
If anyone who has looked at my list of movies on my squad website, and knows of a movie which I do not have, then please let me know, and preferably give me a link to download it!
Criteria will be my own, but what I look for is the level of emotiveness a movie presents, and also how much I enjoy a movie.
There will be no categories; I will look at all movies from all "genres" that many of you directors have chosen for your movies.
However, I will be looking for movies where the technical aspects such as editing, cropping, resolution, etc, etc, do not detract from the movie itself. What I mean is, if the movie I am watching has icons, chat text, stuttering, poor resolution, or whatever, and the effects of these "defects" are strong enough to make me sit up and notice rather than be engrossed in the movie, then that's not a good thing.
What I plan to do is to make a shortlist of around 25-30 movies, and then decide the top 10 from those.
I will publish this shortlist once it's compiled, and you can argue over my choices, or you can ignore it, tis up to you!
Anyway, I'll keep you posted!
Also, if any new movies are released in the meantime, they will also be included in the considerations.
Good Luck! That is quite a project.
On my Site, I used to host something like 75-80 movies, mostly the Very Best(never Any with icons or speedbars, etc).... I once loaded them all up in the Windows Media Player cue, and checked the total running time...it came out to be something like 15+ hours of viewing time.
You've got HUNDREDS of movies!!...I don't know how you are going to do it!
Again, good luck.
Eh, La-7 Ballet? When was that? And this is what I have for Cne@bus:
Beyond Words by Cne@bus (34.9mb 4:44)
Heldorado by Cne@bus (68.7mb 9:25)
Skycraft by Cne@bus (14.2mb 1:55)
If there are some missing, can I get em?
And yeah, I would love to have Requiem make it in. It's my favourite all time movie, but it's up against some stiff competition!! To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't get edged out, but we shall just have to wait and see!!
