The New York Times created this really nifty visualization of the revenue (after adjusting for inflation of course) streams of movies in the theaters.  They’ve done all the movies since 1986 and it’s interesting to see how the we’ve increased our movie-going tendencies over the last 22 years.  The last 10 years have been pretty huge in comparison to the decade between 1986 and 1996.  It’s also pretty interesting to see how long some of the films were in theaters.  Titanic was in the theater for about 8 months.

In honor of the Academy Awards we’re going to be posting our recipe for each of the five best picture nominees this week. We’ll, it’s really four since we’ve already done Juno. We’re starting today with There Will Be Blood, followed by Atonement on Tuesday, No Country For Old Men on Thursday, and Michael Clayton on Friday. We’ll keep our “vintage” recipe for Wednesday for anyone who likes only pre-2000 movies.

After the Oscar’s we’ll try and do the winners, assuming we’ve seen them and haven’t yet posted a recipe. If we haven’t, we’ll watch them and/or let you know what we think.

Movie Recipes is a place where you can find out what movies went into the making of other movies. It’s a pretty simple idea, but can tell you a lot about the movie and help you find other movies you might like.

We take a film and break that up into the various “ingredients” (other movies) it takes to create that movie.

Movie Recipes is run by myself (Garrison) and my friend Jason who love movies. Between the two of us we’ve seen over 1200 different movies, so we’ve got a lot of ingredients to use.

We hope you’ll stick around and maybe discover your new favorite movie!
