Great retrospective, enjoy your videos, keep 'em coming!
Great video!!
He didn't kill Doyle with a sling blade. He killed him with a lawn mower blade.
Fucking great! Review over.
I never understood what the disappearing car pieces meant.
1408 - Sinister
This is legitimately my favorite movie. The Major is an asshole but makes it clear he's not trying to railroad anyone, he just wants to get to the truth. In the end he does and he accepts that truth. He's never the "bad guy" he's just the opposition in the court room. Fantastic movie.
Krull is my absolute favorite 1980's fantasy movie. So much so that I actually bought a Glaive from a seller known as "Krull Glaive." Yes, my TH-cam avatar is an actual photo of my Glaive. If y'all want your very own, look for "Krull Glaive."
Darren McGavin in his post Night Stalker days.
London in 1843 was a very noisy, bad smelling city.
2024. Now it's even noisier and smellier.
An absolutely perfect cinematic translation of Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" has yet to exist, but the 1984 television version with George C. Scott as Abenezer Scrooge is definitely the best attempt nearest to perfect.
Love this movie....Great review.
Good review. Make a new video and I’ll follow.
great video. algo is sleepin on this. could have been longer perhaps. might make it do better.

Watching “BIG” for the first time today. As a man, I can say this movie hits on soo many different levels…
It was a really well written movie. The deaths were predictable however very well carried out.
Bob was the good villain he's in the good and bad let's not remember he took them out the piscas early in the movie 😮
Tim Blake Nelson is an awesome actor, one of my favorites ever, and if you liked this one, you have to watch The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, it's a must!!
Good video and there's a few that I've not seen or heard of that I will no doubt check out in the future so thanks! :D
Gorgeous Movie
This is a great review. Just saw this movie for the first time and you nailed it.
Jan Man, I share in your love of Horror movies for the same reasons you mentioned at the beginning of the video. Great, comprehensive list I'd have to add Fright Night and Motel Hell to my list. FYI, Halloween 3 is a top 10 film for me
Nope. I thought the revelation that he's Billy the kid eas amazing.
One of the toughest movies ever made. It has the most tense atmosphere I have ever seen in an american thriller
Respect to #5! 👍🏻👍🏻🥳
This is the crow meets fast and the furious before both were made .this movie got a killer soundtrack tho
I really wanted to see Peter and Nikki somehow work out an arrangement, maybe asking Nikki to be his daughters street oracle, letting her know what traps not to fall in, and how not to be no naive.
Only thing I didn’t like was it strayed to far from reality she should have won the belt in a dq
great video!! just watched this movie and felt so moved, very happy to have such a well rounded review to wrap the movie up for me :)
Great review!
You do know you’ve got Lazerlight Skeletor’s hood on upside down, don’t you?
No Regerts 💪
One of my favorite movies of all time!
I remember watching this the first time and just feeling sad and empty. For the whole runtime of the film, it felt like I shared Mija's profound pain, confusion, loneliness, sadness. I wanted to talk to someone about it right after the movie just to help me process what I just watched and there was no one.
i saw this movie with my brother in 1980 and loved it. Kill the Japs as we all screamed during the big dogfight. it's a fun movie, typical SciFi about time travel. But how could the CAG Owen be an old man in 1980 sending Sheen on the Nimitz where he meets a younger version of himself?
This movie has something lacking from 99.8% of modern life and cinema, heart!
While I'm approximately a decade younger than the real people from this story, I can relate to some of this. Me and my best friends were similar to them when we were their ages, just not AS bad or unaccountable. I was 19 when this movie came out and felt like I saw pieces of myself and my friends in these people. At the time I didn't know it was based off of a true story. But me and my friends all made it out unscathed and we're all doing well now in our very early 40s. But we had no guidance from our parents either. This was pre cell phone days and there would literally be entire weekends or weeks in the summer where I would be gone with friends and my parents had NO IDEA where I was, and neither did theirs. Looking back, and now being a mom myself, I could never do that to my kids. My kids dad had a very similar upbringing and is the same age, and he did get arrested and go to jail in his teens (not for murder). So the way these kids were in the film is not far off from the reality people of my generation and older generations grew up and spent our youths. Some made it out, some didn't.
S o cool to see race with the devil. I saw this as a kid and still enjoy it.
5:12 The episodes are not in order.
If this is one of the best westerns ever made, westerns are one of the worst movie genres ever made.
I can't find the original clip
I just watched this and, spoiler alert, I have a theory about the ending. If you turn on the subtitles you can read what she is saying to the police as he is walking out back to his yard. She doesn't mention that someone hit her husband but he's on the floor bleeding and to come help. I think she's planning on covering for him. I think the positivity of the perfectly ripe tomato he holds in his hand might mean something too regarding this.
What you like and in what order is personal to you, but there are far too many films on this list that are simply not horror films -- even at a very generous stretch, such as REAR WINDOW, LET'S TALK ABOUT KEVIN, THE BEGUILED, DUEL, SEVEN, BREAKDOWN,...
I really enjoyed this film from start to finish. It’s horrifying but very realistic how humans will go out to sea become lost at sea and we never know how it happened or why it happens but unfortunately it does. But my problem during the film that stressed me out that he didn’t have an EPIRB on his boat nor his personal EPIRB but unfortunately not everyone has one.
When this movie came out, it hadnt even been 25 years since the real event occurred. So many small southern towns didnt look all that different really, over that period of time. Lots of normal things still existed...light poles, payphones, many stores and shops still looked the same, courthouses and police stations often still had the same furnishings, public bathrooms were often unchanged... old cars, old firetrucks, old construction and farm equipment were more readily available, and street signs were often still the same signs from the 60s. Shooting a movie like this would be pretty impossible today. When movies of this period are tried today, it looks very staged. When shooting shots of a small town landscape, they are generally very short and tight. Thats because, while old small towns still exist in great numbers, their is just enough modernity in place, whether its infrastructure (modern traffic lights and signs, etc), or technology (i.e cell phone towers, or satellite dishes, etc...). So they will put effort into making a small area look right, and just shoot that. You never get long, sweeping, continuous shots...like you could back then. The last movie I saw that did a good job of it was 'No Country For Old Men'. Other movies, based in the 50s/60s, but made in the 80s/early 90s...that were really good at pulling it off were; Good Morning Vietnam, JFK, Platoon, La Bamba, the Right Stuff, and Dirty Dancing...just to name a few. Ive heard several filmmakers say that its more difficult to shoot a movie that is set 20 years back in time, than it is to shoot one that is set 500 years back in time.
You’re an idiot. To watch the US Navy do their thing the first 20 minutes and in 1980 these shots of real fighter jets would have audiences geeking out at start of film ….youre just a moron
It really is a good concept of how fuked itd be if gods existed
The character Old Henry was under played role with a script that was excellent. All the actors did well. The end result was a brilliant film that strongly reminded me of the best Western of all time, Unforgiven.
