4. Corpse Bride -- Films
   Corpse Bride is the first movie to be shot with still cameras. Previous stop-motion movies (such as Aardman Animations' Chicken Run) were shot on modified Mitchell film cameras, the same old cameras used to shoot King Kong. As confirmed by American Cinematographer (October 2005), the camera chosen for the production of Corpse Bride was Canon EOS-1D Mark II, a digital single-lens reflex camera, which ... makes it the first stop-motion feature to be shot in digital. Additional work was required to develop systems to permit precise camera positioning, the mounting of Nikon optical lenses, and previewing a scene [I]n camera. Corpse Bride was the first stop-motion animated film to use Apple's Final Cut Pro as well. To give the film the traditional look of movie film stock, each image was processed with a color profile based on a type of film used in feature length movies.
5. Russian Women -- Men
   Most people, including Russian dating women, conscious of the difference in mentality and dating behavior between men and women will probably point out that seemingly career or work-orientated men are actually family-orientated. According to a typical man's reasoning, the best thing a man can do for his family is be the provider and protector. In the modern world, that means he becomes the money-maker. European ladies tend to be able to balance; to maintain their careers and still keep their family as their focus. Probably contributing to the extremely high divorce rate, is the reality that American women cannot seem to grasp: American men are working for their families. They want a partner to do the same; not to the exclusion of a career, but there should be no question about family being the first priority overall.
6. Catherine Ii of Russia -- Empress Catherine Ii
   In 1786 the Empress Catherine II of Russia invited Dutch Mennonites living in West Prussia (now Poland) to settle in the Ukraine. Russia had defeated the Turks three years earlier and gained a permanent foothold on the Black Sea. Catherine, interested in settling the vast virgin steppes of the sparsely occupied agricultural lands, appealed to dissatisfied farmers in central Europe by enticing them with land and religious freedom. She knew the Mennonites as restorers and stewards of the earth. She knew, too, that they would want to live according to their religious convictions.
7. Richard Barthelmess -- New York
   Neither director Henry King nor star Richard Barthelmess could do much with the cliched situations of this dark melodrama. Joe Newbolt (Barthelmess) goes to work for farmer Isom Chase (Charles Hill Mailes) to save his mother (Mary Alden) from the poorhouse. Chase is a cruel taskmaster and he ... abuses his wife Ollie (Mary Thurman). To escape her situation, Ollie has an affair with a traveling salesman and makes plans to elope with him. Because of his religious convictions, Joe tries to talk her out of her plan. Chase catches them together and thinks that the two are plotting against him.
8. Zulu -- Zulus
   The language of the Zulu people is Zulu or isiZulu, a Bantu language; more specifically, part of the Nguni subgroup. Zulu is the most widely spoken language in South Africa, with more than half of the South African population able to understand it (Ethnologue 2005). Many Zulu people ... speak English, Portuguese, Shangaan, Sesotho and others from among South Africa's 11 official languages.
9. Rimsky-Korsakov
   Rimsky-Korsakov was one of the better-travelled composers of his generation. Between 1862 and 1865, as an officer in the Imperial Russian Navy, he visited Britain (where he wrote the slow movement of his First Symphony in a pub in East London), New York, Rio de Janeiro and Cadiz. So when, in 1887, he set about writing an orchestral work on Spanish melodies, he had some idea what he was dealing with – at least, unlike Claude Debussy, who wrote his Ibéria in 1908, he’d actually visited Spain! A fascination with the South was a common trait amongst Russian composers; Glinka had written an overture on the Jota Aragonesa and Tchaikovsky’s love of Italy inspired his Capriccio Italien and Souvenir de Florence. But for Rimsky-Korsakov, the master of orchestral colour, who wrote rapturously in his autobiography of the colours and warmth of the southern night, the idea of Spain must have held a special allure.
10. Richard Barthelmess -- Lillian Gish
    The presence of Richard Barthelmess adds a poetic quality to this romantic melodrama. Tony Gillardi (Barthelmess) is a flower vendor on New York's East Side. His brother, Carlo (Frank Puglia), is the favorite of their mother (Florence Auer), but in reality, he is a weak-willed youth who is under the control of Nick Di Silva (William Powell), a gangster who runs a Chinese theater as a cover for his operations. Di Silva and Carlo rob an Automat, but Tony convinces his brother that the money should be returned. Tony takes the money to the Automat himself, but is arrested for the crime and sent to prison. When he is released, he wants to get Di Silva but is dissuaded by his sweetheart, Molly O'Connor (Dorothy Gish, who is wasted in this role).
