Thanks for the many answers!
I understand that it is already possible to specify the problem even more.
I am making a website on a wamp server, respectively, under Windows XP (NTFS file system, all file names are in Unicode, respectively). The provider, of course, has Apache on Linux. But since our company is a customer, we can present the requirements for the configuration of php.ini and httpd.conf, which will only give a convenient result.

I see that for now the most convenient option is to recode the file name into a translit by the receiving PHP script (such as zopa.psd -> zopa.psd) and write this file name into a file with a list of file names, apparently I’ll look for a ready-made string converter from UTF -8 in translit.

A little more about why I need this.
There is an admin panel, which is something like a CMS for creating sections and posts. With each entry, a file (ZIP or WMV or something else) is uploaded for download. My CMS writes all the information into text files in UTF-8 format so that Flash Player can read Cyrillic (and other) characters via LoadVars, which is generally successful - all names read from text files are displayed correctly in the player.
But when you click on the “download” button, getURL is called, and this is where the problem with non-Latin file names occurs.
I tried it through browsers, through the player, and just through Explorer. The name with which the PHP script file was saved cannot count for anything. But the point is that the name of the file remains “readable”, otherwise I would simply rename them to numbers (stretch.psd -> 456732.psd)

For now, a temporary solution - he said that my CMS does not know how to process files with non-Latin names.
But is there really no option for the PHP script to save the file somehow so that when accessed, the original file name will be returned?
Maybe this can be done somehow so that when downloading a file, the original name is returned?
For example:
- “stretch.psd” is loaded into the browser form
- The PHP script accepted it, gave it the code number 8765.psd and wrote down somewhere that "8765.psd" was originally called "stretch.psd"
- When requesting to download the file "8765.psd", the PHP script replaces its name back to the original "stretch.psd"

There is a downside to this though. Until now, my entire client side was only in Flash, that is, text files, pictures, and files for downloading were downloaded directly from Apache, without using PHP. That is, until now I only had PHP for visual editing of these text files and uploading files.

Hmm, perhaps it’s still easier to find a translit converter if PHP doesn’t know how to save the file so that it can be accessed via a Unicode URL...

I tried to write Cyrillic (UTF-8) directly into the script. It is written correctly in HTML and text files, but the file name still contains nonsense...

10. 11-11-11 (2011) / 11-11-11

After the death of his wife and son, writer Joseph Crone goes to Barcelona, ​​where his brother Samuel and his father, who is dying, live. Upon arrival in the capital of Catalonia, Joseph begins to be literally haunted by the number 11, and then the materialization of demons is added to this obsession. After reading the relevant literature, the writer comes to the conclusion that on November 11, 2011, humanity is awaiting no less than the coming of the devil himself, and something urgently needs to be done about this.

After highly successful work on the endless Saw sequels, Darren Lynn Bousman decided to expand his horizons by directing films outside of the famous franchise. First, he staged “The Genetic Opera,” which could not boast of financial performance, but became a cult classic. Then there was the cruel and absurd (in the good sense of the word) “Mother's Day”.

After that, Darren wanted to shoot from his own scripts and in 2011 he released two films at once: “11-11-11” and “Wasteland”. Bousman has one characteristic feature: he excels at making genre attractions, guessing quite accurately what exactly the public expects from the film. However, his own plots reek a mile away of pure and undiluted derivativeness. And if “Wasteland” can still be praised for something, then “11-11-11” is a classic example of a second-rate mystical thriller (not to say horror). And the point is not that he is somehow particularly bad, not at all. It’s just that the film is predictable, and therefore boring, there are no fresh developments in it, and even what is good does not fulfill its function within the framework of a specific project.

But the movie fits our top list perfectly: no letters, just numbers.

9. The Fatal Number 23 (2007) / The Number 23

Joel Schumacher's 23rd film tells the story of Walter Sparrow (not the captain), who begins reading the novel Number 23 and is forever disturbed. Not only does he now see the damned number everywhere, but also the events of the book are suspiciously similar to the life of Walter himself. Too similar. And when the novel's protagonist commits murder, Sparrow dives headlong into the waters of paranoia and obsessive anxiety.

The film became another film by Jim Carrey, in which the famous comedian does not change his facial expression 20 times per minute, but concentrates on a completely realistic image. Unfortunately, it’s difficult to praise Carrie’s Walter (the actor was close to winning the Golden Raspberry Award for his performance), and the story itself quickly ceases to excite as a detective story. The same is true for Schumacher's direction: the director does not hold tension by the throat with a stranglehold, but rather strokes the chin, which is not a compliment at all for a thriller. But what's really good is Virginia Madsen. Both blonde and brunette.

8. 3000 Miles to Graceland (2001) / 3000 Miles to Graceland

Michael (Russell) and Murphy (Costner), together with a group of trusted people, commit an incredibly daring robbery: in one of the largest casinos in Las Vegas, a rally of Elvis impersonators is held, and, dressed in the clothes of the King of Rock and Roll, the real team empties the gambling vault establishments. But it’s not as difficult to pull off the job as to divide the loot: it turns out that Murphy was initially not eager to share three million, and now he is famously distributing bullets to his former comrades. Michael managed to avoid an unenviable fate, and now he faces a non-trivial task: to catch up with Murphy and somehow collect the money owed, shake off the federal marshals from his tail and deal with the sudden relationship with his single mother Sybil.

Damien Lichtenstein tried so hard to make his film stylish that he went overboard: shootouts, dozens of corpses (some scenes were too bloody for an action film, and they were left lying on the cutting room floor), slow-mo, deliberately bright colors. Moreover, coupled with periodically appearing comedy, the general conventions of the script and obvious plot holes. The American audience did not appreciate this approach, and the film failed disgracefully at the box office, and did not collect even 3 million in the world box office, failing to even cover marketing costs. Not to mention the fact that the film came under heavy fire from film critics and was nominated for the Golden Raspberry anti-award in as many as five categories. With all this, it’s hard to call “3000 Miles to Graceland” a bad picture: yes, it’s kitsch, but with its own charm, and it’s technically well made (which is confirmed by three nominations for “Taurus,” an award from the world stunt community).

7. Formula 51 (2001) / Formula 51

Elmo McElroy was supposed to become an outstanding pharmaceutical chemist, but he was caught with a joint, and had to forget about a legal career. Now Elmo works as a drug designer for the crazy drug dealer Lizard. Knowing firsthand that you can’t just get out of this business, McElroy blows up his employer and flies directly to London to smuggle in a shipment of the superdrug, and with the proceeds, buy himself the castle he has long dreamed of. But not everything is so simple: the Lizard survives the explosion and sends his best killer in Elmo’s footsteps, and the entire underworld of the British capital, from Nazi skinheads to corrupt police officers, gets wind of the drug deal of the century in London.

The original name refers to the contemptuous nickname for Great Britain that the Yankees gave it - the 51st state. Domestic translators decided not to play with details and called the film “Formula 51” in honor of the name of that very superdrug (ZSV-51). Regardless of the translation, Ronnie Yu turned out to be a bubbling acid cocktail of situational comedy, crime action and classic love story, generously flavored with British flavor, numerous stereotypes and a spoonful of swear words. The movie looks very dynamic and clip-like, and this is exactly the case when “clip” serves as a compliment.

But the film is captivating not only thanks to the bright picture: the cast is selected and mixed to the highest standard. Samuel L. Jackson in a kilt, Meat Loaf as the psychopathic Lizard, Robert Carlyle in a Liverpool T-shirt under his jacket, Emily Mortimer with a rifle, disgustingly beautiful (or disgustingly beautiful) Sean Pertwee and, of course, Rhys Evans in all his psychedelic more beautiful A couple of lines are worth devoting separately to the soundtrack: the dynamic narrative is brightened up by a variety of shades of music from the early 2000s. Electronic (Thrillseekers, Warrior), hip-hop (Run DMC, House Of Pain), upbeat alternative (Saliva) and the Merseyside anthem You'll Never Walk Alone.

6. 30 days of night (2007) / 30 Days of Night

In 2002, Steve Niles released a series of comics, 30 Days Of Night, about vampires who sleep near the northernmost city of the United States, Barrow, waiting for the polar night. Being vulnerable to sunlight, local bloodsuckers compensate for their long hibernation with epochal massacres: in the vicinity of Barrow, the night lasts for a whole month, and during this time nothing can stop the ghouls from adjusting the human gene pool at their discretion.

The comic book became widely known, and in 2007, Sam Raimi and Robert Tapert decided to film the whole action, putting David Slade in the director's chair, who two years earlier had made a name for himself with the thriller “Lollipop.” It turned out well, but with reservations.

30 Days of Night has prominent names on the poster (most notably Josh Hartnett and Ben Foster), but they don't do much: despite the numerous threads that connect one character to another, the film's characters are sorely lacking in additional development. Slade also couldn’t handle the narrative: his suspense spreads out, not always concentrating where it should, and the dramatic moments are not emphasized in any way, as a result of which the second and third acts of the film sag noticeably. However, when it comes to direct confrontation, Slade cannot be restrained: the bright red liquid flows like a river, the makeup is extremely attractive, and the camera, of course, turns away, but only after revealing the gory details to the viewer.

And now the vampires are out – you’ll be amazed! No deliberate sex appeal, no false sweetness! The leader of the bloodsuckers, Marlowe, and his Caudla are dressed in archaic clothes, communicate with each other in a croaking-hissing unknown language and have habits closer to animals than to people. Special thanks to Danny Huston for portraying one of the most striking ghouls of the third millennium.

5. 11:14 (2003) / 11:14

In fact, the film tells what happened one evening at 11:14 pm in the town of Middleton, when the fates of completely different characters unexpectedly intersected. But to make the story seem complete, we are told a little more about the characters and what led them to the events shown on the screen.

On paper it looks quite prosaic: what’s the point of reinventing the wheel when there’s “Run, Lola, Run”? However, in the debut film of Greg Marks, the most interesting thing is the form, not the content: the then very young director spins the gears of his narrative, pitting the characters against each other, setting up transitions... Marks perfectly understands what the viewer expects from the story, and seems to anticipate expectations . Therefore, even where the pace slows down slightly, there is no hint of the plot sagging or being overly drawn out.

The actors are a match for the director - a perfect choice! We won’t list them, everything is already written above, but it’s still worth mentioning the soundtrack separately. You can even without epithets - and everything is clear: Ramones, Dramarama, Endo, Angry Johnny & The Killbillies. In a word, beauty! In all aspects.

4. 13 (2010) / 13

The autoremake of Gela Babluani in this top is preferable to the original not only because its title contains only numbers (the original source is titled alphabetically). It was very interesting how the color version with A-list actors would be perceived: the original picture was monochrome and extremely minimalist.

The plot of this neo-noir tells the story of Vince, whose family is in an extremely vulnerable financial situation. The father is in the hospital, and treatment in the USA is outrageously expensive, so the boy has to illegally work as an electrician. One day, Vince overhears a very interesting conversation, and then steals a letter with instructions that could potentially help him get rich. True, to do this you need to play a hellish version of Russian roulette, where the chances of survival, frankly speaking, are small.

Despite the fact that black and white were colored brown; notwithstanding that France was transferred to the state of New York; Despite the presence of Fifty Cent, Jason Statham and Mickey Rourke instead of unknown faces, Babluani managed to maintain an atmosphere of doom and frantic nervous tension. And it costs a lot: to captivate the viewer with the story so much that it obscures the world-famous actors. Look at the light bulb!

3. 1408 (2007) / 1408

Mark Enslin works as a myth buster. As soon as the owners of some county hotel come up with a story to attract tourists that they have ghosts, Enslin is right there. This is how Mark lives, releasing guides to fake haunted houses one after another. On duty, the protagonist stops by at the Dolphin Hotel, in room 1408 of which, according to rumors, there are such evil spirits that not a single guest has ever crawled out of there alive. Neither persuasion, nor bribes, nor the blood-chilling photographs that Enslin’s kind manager supplies can dissuade the writer. But in vain: not everything is really calm in the room, and very soon Mark will curse both his skepticism and his craft.

The Scandinavian Mikael Hofström responsible for the film adaptation is known primarily as a festival director. However, having moved to Hollywood, Mikael took up genre films: the shabby thriller “The Price of Betrayal”, the horror “1408”, the action movie “Escape Plan”... In this case, Hofström relied entirely on the psychological aspect of horror, playing with the expectations of John Cusack’s character, the same with the audience. And he does it very confidently: a classic long plot in the style of the 80s, slowly supplying the viewer with information (as King loves to do), gradually building up suspense, and then, when the unknown has already been determined, a sharp increase in the pace of the narrative. A special bow to Cusack: the actor not only convincingly impersonates the protagonist, but also perfectly senses all his shades. Such things cannot be written into the script; they have to be conveyed.

I myself appreciated the film adaptation.

2. 127 hours (2010) / 127 Hours

A film adaptation of the incredible story of Aron Ralston, who once went mountain climbing and instead of having a fun time, found himself stuck in a crevice for those same ill-fated 127 hours. Aron survived, but to save himself he had to cut off his own hand with a dull pocketknife.

Unlike biopics, where the genre tracks of pathos and epic have already been laid, the film adaptation of this autobiography required Boyle to focus on tactile sensations. The director’s main task was not only to convey to the viewer the character’s emotions (from fear to despair), but also to convey the hero’s physical suffering - and all this with the help of video footage. Danny Boyle did not disappoint: he mixed the magnificent performance of James Franco, the melancholy-progressive soundtrack of A.R. Rahman, his signature cinematography and thoughtful sound design into one single mass, coming very close to synesthesia. “127 Hours” is not just a movie, but a rather complex design of elements that support each other so as not to spill the aforementioned ephemeral “feeling” that needs to be conveyed to the viewer who is comfortably seated in the chair. One can only regret that the film did not collect prominent awards in its treasury: one episode with a nerve is worth it!

1. 28 days later (2002) / 28 Days Later…

After the dead 90s for the zombie genre, the living dead rose from the graves with new strength and unprecedented power, for which we should thank, first of all, Danny Boyle and his “28 Days Later”. Instead of zombies, however, he features infected and relatively living people, but that’s not the point: the main thing is that Boyle was not afraid to destroy long-standing canons. It was in this film that the undead first tried themselves as sprinters, which finally became the new norm in Zack Snyder’s Dawn of the Dead.

It must be said that Boyle not only changed the rules of the game to suit the audience’s increased demands for dynamics, but also paid tribute to Romero’s good old social covenants. Like Grandpa George, in 28 Days Later people turn out to be much nastier than the infected, and there is a relevant commentary on the direct action of the “greens” (at the very beginning of the film).

But the picture is not all about socialism alone. The key characters are played by selected British actors (Cillian Murphy, Naomie Harris, Brendan Gleeson), changing angles - each more beautiful than the other; lubricated by a wonderful soundtrack from John Murphy.

The film entered our top thanks to the number in the title, and meanwhile the film has long been guaranteed a classic status.

Number eight. Meaning.

Being the antagonist number of number 7, number 8 represents the forces of matter. Its ambiguity is reflected by the lemniscate - a symbol of infinity, identical in shape to the figure eight, but from a different angle. The proper meaning of the eight is both materialism and infinity. Since this figure is double four, then the number 8 means

Achieved nobility and wealth. Origin story the magical meaning of eight originates in Ancient China, where it was identified with music, luck and “organized multitude.” Eight trigrams and pairs of opposites, enclosed in the shape of a circle, symbolized temporal and spatial concepts. In Buddhism, the number was associated with the completeness and totality of all possibilities represented by 8 symbols of good omen, which are displayed in the main symbol of Buddhism - a wheel of eight spokes. Taoism gives her many powers, manifested in the forces of the world, which are represented by the eight Taoist saints or immortals.

The trinity in the symbolism of the eight is reflected in its graphic representation. In an esoteric sense, the number is associated with Fate, Fate with its inevitability and harmony. Divine meaning is expressed by the idea of ​​balance of great metaphysical scales and the symbol of the highest correspondences of polar principles. The natural aspect is assigned to causes and effects, the violation of which irreversibly causes countervailing forces.

IN interpersonal relationships of people number 8 associated with the principle of Themis, which means inevitable punishment and retribution in case of imbalance and shaken moral foundations. The number has a mystical, occult and religious meaning, which sometimes leads some believers, endowed with a tender, loving heart and responsive to the suffering of others, to a fanatical adherence to faith. In the Russian clergy, the eight-pointed star is traditionally called the “star of the Virgin Mary.” The appearance of the magical meaning of the number eight in occultism is associated with the planet Saturn - the planet of fate. The graphic image of the figure eight is represented in the form of an eight-pointed star, the so-called Ezekiel wheel, in the form of a rotating circle divided into eight sides.

The dark side of the number eight reflected in greed and attachment to material objects. For individuals, adherence to the number 8, as a symbol of justice, can turn into an obsession. Such a person may develop paranoia, believing that he is assigned the role of sole possessor of the truth.
