Avant Garde Boris Karloff
3,386 wordsCertain films which today are regarded as classics of American cinema John Ford&# 39; s The Searchers (1956), Orson Welles&# 39; Citizen Kane (1941), the Judy Garland musical The Wizard Of Oz (1939), Frank Capra&# 39; s It&# 39; s A Wonderful Life (1946), Walt Disney&# 39; s Fantasia (1940) are, or at least used to be, cult films.

Boris Karloff Horror Films
3,055 wordsAs a companion piece to the articles outlining the histories of the eight major film studios, this survey examines four low-budget studios. They produced mostly Grade-&# 34; B&# 34; films: genre efforts made quickly and cheaply for targeted audiences usually young ones, whether it was the fare aimed at juvenile cowboy enthusiasts, provided by Monogram, PRC (Producers Releasing Company), and Republic during the 1930 s and &# 39; 40 s, or the older teen crowds sold on AIP&# 39; s (American Interna...

2,064 wordsAs a companion piece to the articles outlining the histories of the eight major film studios, this survey examines four relative newcomers to production: New Line, Orion, Miramax, and TriStar. They aren&# 39; t studios in the classic sense; none have their own big lots where their films are shot.
