‘Taste of Cinema’ is film website that was created in 2012 and is ideal not only for film students, but for the wider public as well, with the condition of course, of having a taste in cinema which is willing to break away from the globally entrenched Hollywood-centric one. The ideological strategy of the site is, primarily the creation of lists of movies, directors, actors, and cinematographers etc., which are brought together through a thematic element, and in a secondary level to provide film reviews as any other film blog does. What distinguishes ‘Taste of Cinema’ from the rest of the film databases like IMDB is their focus on world and classic Cinema. Saying that, ‘Taste of Cinema ‘database expresses no bias against recent American films, on the contrary it is a very frequent phenomenon to deal exclusively with [[W:Hollywood|Hollywood] films and only. To give you a glance of the character of their lists and the way that they structure them on the axis of finding common ground between the listed subjects, here are a few titles of their articles: “7 Andrey 7 Andrei Tarkovsky Films and Their Philosophical Takeaways” (09/02/16), “10 Great Movies That Lost Best Picture To Forgettable Winners” (12/01/16), “10 Great Indie Western Movies Worth Your Time” (29/12/15), “The 10 Most Visually Stunning Movies Shot By Gordon Willis” (03/12/15), “20 Great Postmodernist Films That Are Worth Your Time” (08/06/14). “15 Great Films Without a Soundtrack” (24/07/15). From those titles one can easily grasp the diversification that characterises this film site and the specificity with which its writers are called to investigate upon within each list. A diversification which is reflected in the agencies of the writers as they are people from all around the world, mainly university film or other major graduates or simply passionate film buffs. This is what makes this site extremely interesting, as it balances perfectly between the expertise but sometimes boring and conformist approach of the film scholars and the fully passionate, enthusiastic but many times too rush approach of the cinephiles. On the other hand this can be quite problematic as well because not all of the lists are of equal value as some of them might seem quite unresearched and not very sophisticated, but in general in the majority of the cases the quality of the writing is excellent. In the end of each list a small paragraph with the name of the writer is provided which gives more to the reader about his ethnographical characteristics and many times they provide their links, websites, organisations and thus it is possible to follow a particular writer furthermore in the case of taking a liking at him/her.
