I dont mean to be offtopic but does anyone know of a method to get back into an Instagram account?? I stupidly forgot my account password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me
@Deacon Braydon thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im trying it out now. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
You are one of those distinct you-tubers that once I begin watching a video, I find myself watching the whole thing and many others, ignoring the length. I applaud you for your passionate attitude towards creating quality videos.
Hello, and thank you so much for this lovely comment. You are very kind to say this. I hope you are well and please have a great rest of your day. Cheers my friend.
I could listen to your videos on loop while doing other things. I hope you make a living doing something related to film. Your passion is contagious... Notorious is a masterpiece.
Bearded Jagger wow! This is one of the nicest comments I have received here! Thank you for such kindness. And yes, NOTORIOUS!!!!! It is so so great. Have a great weekend my friend.
Daisuke, my friend, I love this topic. I think we all have those favorite films that we never get tired of and can watch over and over. I could relate to your comment about watching a movie on VHS and then rewinding it and watching it again. What I do now with my favorites on Blu-Ray is I watch the film. Then I watch all the special features and then I watch the film again. I just love doing this. Here’s my list of films that I watch on loop: 2001: A Space Odyssey Throne of Blood Alien Blade Runner The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo Blade Runner 2049 True Grit (2010) Unforgiven (1990) Fantastic Mr. Fox The Silence of the Lambs Jaws Red River (1948) King Kong (1933) And the one film I can watch the most (my Big Trouble in Little China): Master and Commander: Far Side of the World I absolutely love this film by Peter Weir and I can’t get enough. I love the music and the cinematography. I love the acting and the characters. I love the sound effects. It’s seems like such a realistic depiction of life on a 19th century man-o-war. I keep hoping one day Peter Weir will make a sequel. If not I’ll continue to play this one on loop. Lol.
Preston my friend! Thank you so much for this! I must therefore now commit to watching again that great film Master and Commander: Far Side of the World! I really liked that film but I admit I have only seen it once. So to hear you talk about it makes me very excited indeed! As for your list, I love it!! I am amazed that you have 2001 on the list! I am very impressed with this! And you know, I also loved Unforgiven, but I admit that it's hard for me to watch on a loop because it is such an emotionally draining experience for me because of how the film transpires towards that intense climax. And I know of your love for the film BLADE RUNNER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And you would put BLADE RUNNER 2049 on your loop list as well!!!! Brilliant!!!
Daisuke Beppu Let me know your feelings after watching MASTER AND COMMANDER: FAR SIDE OF THE WORLD again. For me it’s so exquisite. I love the music so much I even have the soundtrack. I really enjoy the interaction between Captain Jack Aubrey played by Russell Crowe and Dr. Stephen Maturin played by Paul Bettany. The two characters are so opposite in personality but yet when they are together they make music together, literally. One plays the violin and the other plays the cello. Those scenes of two friends playing together are just beautiful. Also the film was nominated for 10 Oscars including Best Picture and won 2 for Best Cinematography and Best Sound Editing which was truly well deserved. When watching it again turn the sound way up so you can fully appreciate the sound. You can actually hear the creaking of the wood of the ship. And the sound effects during the storm as they round Cape Horn is truly a wonder. It makes the scene so intense and heart wrenching when one of the seaman falls into the sea. I also think that the Captain represents both the military leader and the Priest. He’s the extroverted pragmatist, the politician and the spiritual leader. While the Doctor represents the scientist. He’s the introverted naturalist, the explorer, and the voice of reason. They constantly butt heads but in the end they can play beautifully together. What a great analogy for science and the humanities working together to interpret our world. One more thing I forgot to add is I watched this film so many times that the plastic case broke. Haha. I had to buy a new plastic case to replace the old one. Ok I can go on and on about this film. I’ll stop there. Lol.
On a loop I could watch GoodFellas, Once, Taxi Driver, Casablanca, Up, American Beauty, Trainspotting and La La Land without a moment's hesitation. Keep up the good work, Daisuke.
Great video! The films I watch on loop are Inherent Vice, Phantom Thread, The Shining, Blue Velvet, The Ninth Gate, the original Indiana Jones trilogy, and the original Star Wars trilogy.
Oh gosh... thank you so much for this list you have! Amazing!! And I am incredibly impressed, especially with such "intense" films like Blue Velvet! To have a Lynch film on your "loop" list is so incredible. And I share your love and passion for the OT Star Wars and the three Indiana Jones films! Cheers to you!
The burbs, back to the future, taxi driver, lost boys, vertigo, the blues Brothers, a clock work orange. Casino, the game. Are just a few i can watch many more films over on loops. Thanks for your great videos!
Daisuke - As I mentioned I go back in time to view your videos and I cam across this one and it gave me great joy - I found myself nodding over and over as you revealed the films you could watch on a loop. I particularly agree with Murder on the Orient Express Notorious Star Trek II Picnic at Hanging Rock Dawn of the Dead Big Trouble in Little China I would add - Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) The Thing (John Carpenter - but also the original) The Sound of Music ( I know all the lyrics) The Martian The Haunting (Robert Wise)
Hello Allen my dear friend, and thank you so much for this! Wow, what a great list you provide! Of those films, I think the one that I have seen the least is The Martian (which I have seen only once). I liked it when I first saw it, but I haven't seen it since. Your comment has made me want to give it another re-watch, so thank you so much for that my friend. I hope you are well.
Thanks Daisuke - it’s interesting to think about all the things that go into making a film “loop” worthy - I think one of those factors in the case of The Martian is subject matter - the concept of man leaving earth to visit another planet is a fascinating one to me... obviously there are a lot of films that touch on that subject so other factors come into play to make this one I can watch on a loop. I also adored the book. Hope you’re having a great day my friend.
I haven't been so enthralled by anyone talking film since watching Elwy Yost Saturday Night at the Movies on TVO, oh so many years ago. Thank you for your enthusiasm, knowledge, and passion
Dear mslizziela, Wow, what a great compliment. I am really touched and honored! Thank you and it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance. I hope you are well and I hope to be able to talk to you again very soon. Cheers, and once again, my deepest thanks and gratitude to you for your extremely kind words.
Thank you so much for sharing your personal and elaborate thoughts on the films that you must have seen countless times. I haven’t seen any of them (🙈) but I just added Murder on the Orient Express, Clue, Notorious, Picnic at Hanging Rock, and Seven Dials Mystery to my ever-growing watchlist. 🤗🇳🇱
Thank you so much for watching and commenting on this older video of mine. Yes, I look at the list now and I think I would not change it at all (I might add some more, but I would not take any away). Cheers my friend and I hope you are well.
Interesting list, Daisuke. Some I have not seen but will have to. The first two back to back viewings I can recall are Pink Floyd's The Wall and A Clockwork Orange. I had rented them on VHS in the late 80s. I was awestruck by both and knowing I had to return them soon I put them on again. A wonderful experience.
Greetings Daisuke! I have been watching many of your videos lately because I find your observations very sound and you are overall just a very calm and interesting person in the film side of TH-cam. There are various movies I can just watch over and over but I think there are 10 that I can think of off the top of my head, and I recommend checking out the ones you haven't heard of or haven't seen yet! - Chungking Express - The Departed - Under the Silver Lake - Jurassic Park - Se7en - Tazza: The Hidden Card - Once Upon a Time in Hollywood - The Good, The Bad, The Weird - A Silent Voice - Rear Window
This is an amazing question and list Daisuke, thank you to you and your friend for bringing up this discussion. I think it is so necessary for people to bring up how a film elicits a certain response for that individual. Another specific thing that I like to bring up is what I call the ‘movie drug’. This will make sense if you share this but, there are some films that give me such a level of enjoyment and bliss that is so unique to cinema, that only happens from watching certain films. I call it the ‘movie drug’ because it is something I as a cinephile am always searching for. That special feeling that is almost indescribable that I have only gotten from watching a specific film. Sometimes you can forget what it is like and not be as invested in watching films and discovering more at a quicker pace and start to lack slightly and sort of forget why you are watching films for. Then when you finally do get this, just extraordinarily wonderful feeling, it inspires you to devour films at a faster pace. Anyway this could come out like the ramblings of a mad man since I am trying to describe an indescribable feeling. Let me know if you understand what I mean. Also here’s my top 10 films I can watch in a loop: 10. Groundhog Day - This is a funny pick because of the plot of the film, but all the different details and outcomes I think just keep drawing me back. 9. American Movie - A really entertaining, inspiring and hilarious film with so many quotable lines. 8. For a Few Dollars More - My favourite of the man with no name trilogy. Unusual I know, I recognise that The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is the better film but I just love this one the most. 7. Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me - Such a fantastic film. My favourite Lynch film too. When I hear the word tragedy the only thing I think of is Laura Palmer in this film. Surprisingly the hard subject matter doesn’t lesson the rewatchability for me. 6. Pretty much all of Kubrick’s films - I would exclude; Fear and Desire, Killer’s Kiss and Spartacus. 5. Rashômon - I just love seeing the different character’s telling of the events again and again. 4. The 400 Blows - The whole Antoine Doinel collection as a whole is wonderful but this film stands so strongly on its own. 3. Seven Samurai - With a running time of 3hrs and 30mins it goes by so quickly in an amazingly pleasurable way. 2. Ed Wood - This film has an extreme amount of rewatch ability for me. 1. Tokyo Story - I have seen this six times in the past two months since the first viewing and I still don’t get bored. I am sure I will watch it many more times in the future.
INCREDIBLE!!!!!!! I love this description you give about a "movie drug". there is indeed this sense of euphoria that comes about upon watching certain kinds of films... and this can be so wholly personal and individualized, which is the most interesting thing. You sound like a film philosopher! As for your list.... amazing... really amazing. Wow... if I could point out some titles that really popped out at me: TWIN PEAKS FIRE WALK WITH ME!!! I love this film. This is my favorite Lynch film, and I love the Twin Peaks universe. I could have easily put this one (or Eraserhead or Mulholland Dr.) on my own list. Garmonbozia... this is a formica table. Green is its color. And ED WOOD!!!! Amazing!!!!!! I saw this in the theater when it was released. It was empty, and so there was just me and my mom. But it was so much fun and I love it!!! Oh man, Ed Wood! Pull the strings!
Dear Daisuke Beppu, I am so glad you know what I mean, thank you for the kind words and awesome quotes... Beware. Beware. Beware of the big, green dragon that sits on your door step... he eats little boys, puppy dog tails and big fat snails. BEWARE.... TAKE CARE!
One that immediately comes to mind is the Korean horror film "A Tale of Two Sisters" (2003), which I watched immediately after seeing it the first time because there is so much intricacy and detail to unpack. It's actually my favorite movie.
I am going to butt in here for a bit second. :) I have to agree and highly recommend this movie. It has been a favorite of mine for well over a decade. It does have a Blu-ray. I did some checking and it seems there is a UK BD amaz. uk for about 10 pounds. I also found this (link below) Nova media edition which looks nice. Seems to be on sale but shipping might ruin it for the deal like it pretty much did for me. Also, I am not intending to push purchasing this on you so please don't take this that way. Hope you enjoy the movie when you get a chance to view it. m.novamnm.com/product/blu-ray-a-tale-of-two-sisters-full-slip/213/
I could watch every Miyazaki film on a loop, especially Howl’s Moving Castle and Princess Mononoke. Quite a few films by Wes Anderson would also make the list, most notably Grand Budapest Hotel and Life Aquatic, very special films to me. Pulp Fiction being my favorite film of all time makes the list easily. I could drop everything and watch Pulp Fiction at any time. But the film I’ve watched more than any other film would have to be Hot Rod starring Andy Samberg. I used to watch it three or four times a day when I was in middle school and early high school. Even now I could play it endlessly. Probably hasn’t aged super well, but to me it’s always been hilarious.
This is a very interesting comment, because you very nicely make a distinction between a "favorite" film and a "loop" film, and I really love this. You have very obviously put so much thought into this question! And you show a great range in taste that is very rich and varied and excellent. Well done my friend. Thank you for your great comment and cheers.
Hi Daisuke! Very interesting topic. Here are some of my favourites to watch on a loop. Once upon a time in the west, Psycho, Lost in Translation, Le Trou, Yojimbo, Big Sleep, Red Shoes, Castle of Cagliostro, and of course Big Trouble in Little China. I feel the 1980s was the best decade for these kind of movies that you can watch on a loop, generally between an hour and forty minutes to 2 hours long. If you like Kurt Russell I just saw a film called Used Cars. A raunchy comedy from the early 80s that not a lot of people have heard of. Thank you for these videos and farewell for now!
Oh yes, Kookaboo, my friend. You mention some great ones... LE TROU!! and CASTLE OF CAGLIOSTRO!!!!!!!! Wow!!!!!! I should have mentioned that one!! Once Upon A Time in the West! I was actually considering mentioning this one, but I think for me that in the end it is a film that I love so much but I wouldn't necessarily rewatch it immediately. I would probably need some time before watching it again, to let it all sink in. Still, this is a great choice! also, USED CARS!!!!!! Oh man!!! I haven't thought about this film in so long! But this is wonderful!!!!!!! How did you see it? Is it on blu ray?
Daisuke Beppu Hi Daisuke! There is a twilight time blu ray which is very expensive so I broke down and bought the DVD for less than $10. There is a shout factory release coming early next year I hear. If you do end up buying it make sure it has the audio commentary with Kurt Russell on it, it's almost as good as the movie. I love all of his commentaries on the John Carpenter films as well. You can tell he really loved making these movies.
@@kookaboo4759 Oh great! I didn't know about the Shout Factory planned release! Thank you for letting me know about that! This is very helpful for me, my friend.
Hi Daisuke! Talking about Once Upon A Time In The West, I recently have become interested in spaghetti westerns. I don't think I've heard you talk about them on your channel. I was wandering if you've seen any outside of the Sergio Leone films? Thanks for reading.
@@kookaboo4759 yes, I love spaghetti westerns, and yes the non-Leone ones as well! I haven't spoken about them yet, but one day I should. I am not an expert, but I love for example the films by Sergio Corbucci like Navajo Joe and the Mercenary. Do you have any favorites?
Awesome video man! I’m just starting to get into the Criterion Collection, I only have about twenty so far, so your videos have been very helpful/insightful
Hello Homiedogslice. Thank you for your kind comment. So, what are some of the titles in your collection that you like the best so far? Are there any films in particular that you are into to? There is no rush at all, but if you have a moment, and if you don't mind, I would love to hear a little bit about what kinds of films you are into. Best regards!
No it’s no problem at all, I’d love to let you know! I’ve always had a soft spot for film noir, psychological horror, and Sci-Fi in particular, but I’ve tried to have a pretty diverse level of films in my collection. (: My favorites in my collection currently are films like Brazil, Eraserhead, Ace In The Hole, Paths of Glory, Seconds, Repulsion, and On The Waterfront. I just recently ordered Stalker, Night of The Hunter, and Vampyr. I also ordered Picnic at Hanging Rock because of your strong recommendation. (:
@@Cawd217 OH WOW!!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!! Thank you for sharing with me and getting back to me so quickly! This is incredible. You know I am a fan of film noir but I am far from being an expert. So reading your comment makes me very happy. And you mention Brazil and Eraserhead and Ace in the Hole.... wow... Stalker... Wow!!! And Picnic at Hanging Rock! Thank you so much! I would LOVE to hear your thoughts on that one if/when you get a chance to see it! This is such a great comment!
Great choices! Some of my favorite films I make an event out of and only watch every year or two but theres some films that have a high rewatchability factor that I revisit a lot. Films that I've watched or can watch on a loop are the Master, Magnolia, Nashville, La Dolce Vita, the Thin Red Line, Rio Grande, the Misfits, Double indemnity, BeetleJuice, Trains, Planes & Automobiles, Creepshow, Tarantino, Hitchcock, Argento films and too many more to name
thank you! Oh by the way, I might have asked you this before but just in case I didn't: I am going to be making some videos about the Ingmar Bergman Box set. Do you mind if I refer to your unboxing video and leave a link to your video, in my description section? I think your video is really good to show us about what is inside the set. Also, if you don't mind, I'll also refer to your channel in general. Is that OK?
This is a wonderful video idea my friend. You described your love for each film perfectly! Loving all the videos. I hope you and your family have had a lovely holiday period.
I couldn’t have done it without friends like you. Thank you so much for subscribing at “6”, and for your kind support of this channel. It means a lot and your encouraging words are wonderful.
I love this idea! I will have to do it for my channel too. Some of the movies I watch on a loop is Reanimator, Society, Tampopo, True Stories, Tremors, the Lord of the Rings trilogy, Exorcist, The Protector with Tony Jaa, a number of Hayao Miyazaki films like Kiki’s Spirited away and Totoro, Beastmaster, and Yojimbo. That’s just a few as I didn’t want to list everything in my collection haha hope you’re doing well!
Daisuke Beppu thank you so much for the kind words! One thing I love about watching films is the connections between everything. I’ve always viewed it as a giant jigsaw puzzle where each piece is a movie, small sections of the puzzle are directors’ works, and the larger sections are entire genres. Some areas blend into each other and the more I watch the more I have a better idea how one thing influences the other. Hope you had an amazing Monday!
That is a tough question to answer. 100% agree with big trouble in Little China. I can watch most Zatoichi films over and over. Lastly the film I recall seeing before any other film and one I can watch over and over is Conan the Barbarian.
Zatoichi!!!! One of these days, hopefully early in 2019, I will get to the Zatoichi films. And, oh man, Conan the Barbarian!!! That soundtrack helped me through many rough patches in my life--such a rousing and inspiring score.
Hello again Daisuke. I am a new fan but you are absolutely brilliant. I don’t have many films I could watch right away again but many I would watch the next day. I enjoy a wide range but I find that a lot of films meant for younger audiences are the ones that lend themselves to immediate rewatch. For instance the BBC adaptation of the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe. I also never tire of the Wizard of Oz. And I wonder if you’ve seen Rango, as I find it to be a unique and beautiful film amongst its bretheran. When that came out over ten years ago I watched it almost every day for a month. Anyway thank you for the wonderful and sincere videos. Cheers!
Thank you so much Seamus M for your really lovely comment. You are so vey kind. And oh gosh, yes, I remember the BBC the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe!! And I have not seen Rango, so I thank you for your recommendation. Warmest regards and I hope this comment finds you well.
Excellent list, sir! Flight of the Navigator was mine in my younger days with my big sister making me watch Three Men and a Little Lady over and over! 😣 I used to even take the VHS versions of Aliens, Die Hard and Terminator on holiday with me so I could keep watching them! Totally with you on Wrath of Khan, best in the series. My current list is mostly John Carpenter! They Live, Prince of Darkness, Big Trouble in Little China, The Thing. Then Se7en, The Age of Adeline, Secretary and my guilty pleasure..... Captain America: The Winter Soldier! 😉 Best post credit quote ever! Glad I stuck around for it 😎
Oh gosh... Flight of the Navigator!!! I remember watching this as a kid in the theater! And THREE MEN AND A LITTLE LADY!!!!! I had such a movie crush on Nancy Travis in that film. I also saw this one in the theater! (I also saw THREE MEN AND A BABY in the theater as well!) Oh and you have the VHS versions of Aliens and Die Hard and the Terminator!!!!! My goodness, this is very impressive. You know, I haven't seen most of the Marvel films. I really want to, but I haven't had the time. But since you mention Captain America: The Winter Solder, I will try to watch the films. Thank you for giving me a push in the right direction! And I am totally with you about John Carpenter. I think I could have put in more Carpenter films on my own list. Escape from New York too. And Halloween, and Halloween 2 (though I know it's not a Carpenter-directed film). Also, I have recently really fallen in love with Village of the Damned and In the Mouth of Madness, thanks to the recent Scream Factory releases. What do you think of these films? And, thank you for catching the post-credit quote! Haha! I didn't think anyone would catch it, but you did!!! Well done!!!
@@DaisukeBeppu You don't seem old enough to have seen them in the theater! But Flight of the Navigator must have been so exciting for you back then? I remember being excited for the Invaders From Mars remake.... My excitement soon faded. Who didn't have a crush on the lovely Nancy Travis?! She is a beautiful woman! I'm watching her right now in the excellent Mr. Mercedes! Still as lovely as ever. She had a good role in The Kominsky Method recently as well. My favorite film of hers is Internal Affairs. I donated my VHS collection to my sister a few years ago, because I'm a very kind brother! 😒 I regret it now. My mom used to get mad at me for taking them instead of clothes because then we had to buy new clothes for me! Crazy times! Excellent! I hope you enjoy the Marvel style! Since I discovered your channel, I have shifted back towards more serious films so if I can can help shift you towards the more light films then we both win! 🤣 Escape From New York! I can't believe I forgot about it! I picked up the 4K version of Halloween a few weeks ago and was very impressed with it. I could watch it every day! I keep coming across people now who seem to think Halloween 2 is not a good movie. I don't agree! I enjoy it as a nice continuation of the first film. I will check out Village of the Damned, I avoided it because I heard it was worse than Ghosts of Mars, but your recommendation carries weight so I will try! I want the Scream Factory release of In The Mouth of Madness but it's so expensive to have it sent to the UK! I did pick up a cheap German import but the transfer wasn't so good. Cool! I always stay to the end because I appreciate all the work you put in to your videos. Also, I must say thank you ever so much for being so polite and respectful in all your videos! It's refreshing these days!
@@NexusEntertainment187 Thank you for the great comment! Oh gosh, you are too kind... haha! I was a little kid when Flight of the Navigator came out! As for your comment regarding Marvel, this is great. I want to get into these films more, especially because I think my kids would enjoy some of them. Have you seen the new Halloween film? I haven't seen it yet but I really want to. I hope it is a fun film! Oh thank you... by the way, you are in the UK? You know, when I was younger, I lived in Surrey for a few years. I used to live in Guildford for a time, and then in Woking. I went to school in a town called Cobham. I wonder where in the UK you are!
@@DaisukeBeppu It was the late 80's so I suppose it makes sense.... ;p Excellent! I hope you enjoy them and I'm absolutely sure your kids will! I singled out Winter Soldier because it has a bit more to it than others in the series. I did have a think about it last night and Civil War also stands out. The "origin story" films I don't find as good, but as a way to establish characters I can forgive them! I have pre-ordered the 4K Steelbook of the new Halloween and I'm thoroughly looking forward to it as well! It does look fun! Kind of like an action style horror! I do like Halloween Parts 4 and 5 because of the way they changed the style. Not to diminish my love of John Carpenters style! I did hear you say you lived in Surrey in one of your videos and was intrigued! It's interesting that you found your way to Tokyo, a place I must visit before I'm too old! I'm all the way up in Hull! Slower pace of life up here compared to down south! Ha! I must admit, I had not heard of Cobham! I've just looked it up and it's lovely! Looks very peaceful, just the way I like it! If I may ask, were you very young when you moved from the U.K?
I agree with another commenter who said that the 80s was the best decade for rewatchable films. Movies like The Goonies, Blade Runner, the Back to the Future trilogy, Indiana Jones trilogy, Star Wars films, This is Spinal Tap, etc., somehow never get old. Of course most films by Hitchcock as well, and for some reason, Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut in particular (but many of his other works as well)...whenever that film comes on TV, I get sucked in and can't stop watching it. All of your choices were interesting to me, but I regret to say I still haven't watched Clue - must remedy that soon! :)
I am very intrigued about your mentioning of Eyes Wide Shut! This is very interesting indeed. I should have mentioned The Goonies as well! I could watch that one over and over and over and never get tired of that one. I don't have a blu ray of that, but thanks to your comment, I think I need to buy it!
17:25 I love how you touch your glasses when the name "George A. Romero" comes back to you. :D Glad to hear somebody else favours the Extended Version too! I'm sometimes in the mood for the Argento Cut, because there is just more of the glorious Goblin score in that version, but I mostly stick with the Extended Cut. The Theatrical Cut really serves no purpose to me now, since it is very similar, but shorter than the Extended and if I decide to watch this movie, I want to be inside the universe as long as possible. If I remember correctly the Theatrical Cut doesn't even have the scene of the Zombie stepping on the crate and getting beheaded by the helicopter blades, while they stop for fuel. To me, this is now one of the most iconic moments of the film and I don't want to miss it. It also foreshadows the original ending which never was fully shot and only exists in test footage and behind the scenes shots by Tom Savini. It was planned that the last survivor (I think the girl), in a last desperate attempt to avoid becoming a Zombie, would jump into the helicopter blades. A much darker ending... I look forward to the upcoming 4K releases in Germany and the UK, both countries that banned this 'video nasty' back in the day and are now progressive enough to finally accept it as a piece of art.
Hello and thank you so much for your comment! And yes, Dawn of the Dead... it is such a great film and one that I have seen so many times since I was a young kid. And yes, with many different versions made officially available, it makes for an interesting viewing experience. Anyway, my friend, thank you again, and I hope you are well.
On a loop I could watch The Hidden Fortress. This to me is one of those movie that is so captivating, it draws you in and makes you feel like you're apart of its "world". This is why Akira Kurosawa is the greatest director of all time.
I finally got around to watching this. My girlfriend LOVES Clue. Now I have to watch it with her! All your other picks are soooo good. I think Notorious might be my favorite.
My very first thought was Clue. I did the exact same thing with the VHS tape I rented when I was a kid. I actually rented it so much that eventually the video store owner actually gave me the VHS because I rented it so much.
Hello again, .Soft Stone! It is nice to hear from you again. And I am so happy to hear about your love of the film CLUE. I absolutely adore this film and I have so many great memories as a kid renting the VHS tape from the rental store. It was such a great film! That is a great story about how the video store owner eventually gave you the VHS tape! That is so awesome!!
The Shining, Lethal Weapon films, The Big Lebowski, first 3 Indiana Jones films, Training Day, 2001, Rocky films, Lady and the Tramp, The Sopranos(TV-series), American Psycho, Whiplash, The Good, The Bad, The Ugly and the original Star Wars trilogy are some films that I rewatch constantly. When I was younger I rewatched films much more than I do now. There are some films that I watched too many times as a kid, so I don't have the urge to watch them anymore e.g Terminator 2, Demolition Man, Lord of the Rings films(although recently I've felt like watching them), I try to watch all my favorite films at least once a year or year and a half. I still have so many great revered films that I haven't seen yet, so I try to prioritize films I haven't seen yet, but sometimes I got a feeling that I need to watch something that I know is amazing, I call these comfort films. Harakiri is a film that I first watched spring last year, I've watched it 3 times now and it gets better every time, so that's a film I know that I will watch it at least twice a year. I think in a couple of years, when my film knowledge has grown quite a bit, I'll rewatch more films. Lastly, many of my favorite films are really slow and serious films, so they may not be the most rewatchable films, the quality doesn't always mean rewatchability.
Oh gosh, my friend, as always, you impress me to no end with your great comments. I love these films you mention. But I must say that I have only seen Whiplash once, but I think I will watch it again since you mentioned it. I am very impressed too that you mentioned Training Day. I think that is a really sharp thriller, with so many twists and turns. And, oh yes, you make a great point at the end there: "the quality doesn't always mean rewatchability". I agree with you 1000%. As always, such an astute and great point you make.
I guess I've never watched this video... so great to see the passion here. I've missed Picnic at Hanging Rock and looking forward to eventually seeing it. I'm hoping Criterion will put out a new restoration of it as they have been. One obvious one that I have restarted right after finishing on more than one occasion is Mulholland Drive. I have done it with Taxi Driver also. By the end of that film, the way the taxi is driving around during the credits, it just makes you want to go right back to the start. When I was young, I would restart films like Star Wars, Godzilla vs Gigan, The Never Ending Story, Spies Like Us, Superman
Such a good topic for conversation. Have watched many films over like this specially in my youth. Some stand out above others that still evoke the urge to view it again immediately. First to come to mind is Transformers The Movie, have the dialogue memorized for it I think lol. Raiders of the Lost Ark, Superman 2, Back to the Future. One that stands out from my teenage years is The Crow. Most recent one is Mad Max Fury Road, just love its story of a hero that's lost his way and finds it again by the end. Could go on and on talking about these films and what makes them re-watchable and in some cases important to me.
Oh wow... Transformers the Movie! I haven't seen this since I was a kid. And Raiders... Superman 2.... Back to the Future... classics. I am in particular very happy to hear Superman 2, which is my favorite. (By the way, have you seen the Richard Donner cut?)
Surprisingly I’ve never seen clue!!! Just hit Amazon for a copy! Even though TH-cam recs some videos that might be a little older it is absolutely still gold!
Dawn Of The Dead is like comfort food to me. If I'm down in the dumps it is like a warm blanket. Others with rewatchability are The Party, John Carpenter's The Thing, The Seven Samurai, Singing In The Rain, Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls, Svankmajer's Faust, Abbott And Costello Meet Frankenstein, Captain And Commander, Daisies...
Big Trouble in Little China!! an 80's classic. Carpenter was on a hell of a roll in that decade with The Thing, Escape from New York, They Live, The Fog, Starman, Prince of Darkness.....wow!

THIS IS SUCH A GREAT LIST!!! I LOVE IT!!! There are many titles that would be on my list too. Amazing... I am so glad to hear you have the Beatles Anthology on your loop list too.
Great list! Picnic at hanging rock is a movie that evokes such emotion in me that I have only ever seen it twice. I find the film so haunting. A new movie I have been watching on loop is Once upon a time in Hollywood. I was'nt a big fan when I first saw it in theaters. But for some reason every time I watched it the more I liked it. Now it's almost like hanging out with my friends every time I pop it in the blu ray player. Have you seen the film, if so what did you think?
Thank you so much... and yes, I have seen Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. While there are some issues I have, I like the film. I think I need to see it more to get a better handle on it though.
Mechagodzilla was my absolute favorite Godzila film when I was a kid. They would play a lot on weekend afternoons and I always got most excited for this one. Love those films. Of course I've come to appreciate the original as the all time classic since.
Great, great video my friend. My number 1 choice would be Big Trouble in Little China!!! It’s a perfect adventure movie. Some of my choices would be Aliens, Jurassic Park and T2. Take care
I’ve got a loop for you, beyond the black rainbow, Mandy, color out of space, the lighthouse and midsommar. You will have one hell of a psychedelic experience.
The Thing (82) and The Lion King (92) are two films that are very dear to me, and could watch those two a seemingly endless amount of times. I admire the craft a lot, the cast is a lot of fun, even though they could barely be more different. And then there are Return of the living Dead, Dawn of the Dead and the Raid, which are just a lot of fun.
Hello and wow, thank you so much for responding to this video about films on a loop! And those are wonderful choices you have made. Well done. Warmest regards and cheers.
Hello again, Daisuke! I know I'm late finding this video, but I felt compelled to mention the two things I have found myself watching right after finishing. It is not something I have ever found myself doing, except in these two cases. I apologize if you have already mentioned it before, but the film Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri had a profound emotional effect on me. I don't know what in particular about it got to me, but I had to watch it a again immediately after the end credits began to roll. I strongly recommend the film if you have not seen it. The other is not a film, but an episode of the show Castle Rock. Episode seven of season one, titled The Queen, unfortunately requires viewing the episodes before it in order to gain context. I cannot stress this enough, though.. This episode feels like a short film in and of itself and is certainly the best written, directed, acted, etc piece of any television show I have ever seen. It left me exhausted and an emotional wreck, and while I know that sounds dramatic, it was simply powerful. As always, I really enjoyed your video. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this lovely comment. I really appreciate it. I admit that I am not so good with watching very recent releases of films, and so I have not yet seen Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. Also I have not seen the show Castle Rock. I have heard a lot about both of these though. Thank you again my friend and I hope you are well.
Picnic at hanging rock's spell reminds me of a twilights zone episode where the viewer jumps into the movie shes watching and becomes a character. I always get the feeling the movie is going to engulf me. It truly is a film like no other. First time I watched it when I was a teenager marked me forever, something that also happened with another peter weir movie, dead poets society. but while dead poets society no longer has that pull over my middle age version, picnic still fascinates me. Its a magical movie because I've got trouble picking words to describe it as it leaves me with a feeling that I think Ive only experienced in movies in Luigi Bazzoni's Le orme
That is a great observation about this film! Yes, there is a kind of mysterious and almost magical quality about the film. And its mystery remains even after multiple views. Thank you so much for sharing this my friend. And as you mentioned Dead Poets Society... O Captain! my Captain!
Hi Daisuke - A very interesting question. My list would include Diva, L'incorrigible, Manhunter, Z, The Fearless Vampire Killers, Big Sleep, Le Pere Noel est une Ordure and Casablanca. I meant to ask who is your favorite actor to play Poirot all formats being equal.
Oh my dear friend. Thank you for this. What a lovely list. Incredible. Absolutely incredible. As for the actors playing Poirot.... hmmm... I know Albert Finney and Peter Ustinov, and I love both of them in different ways. I also love David Suchet as Poirot, in particular the adaptation of FIVE LITTLE PIGS, which could be my favorite David Suchet adaptation. I know that Alfred Molina also played Poirot, and I also know that John Malkovich is going to play Poirot in an upcoming BBC adaptation of the ABC Murders. I am not sure about that one but I remain open minded. Are you an Agatha Christie fan?
@@DaisukeBeppu More of Poirot fan really. I think David Suchet probably gave the "best" interpretation of the character, although I enjoy the others you mentioned. I wonder what Malkovich will do with this role. Did happen to watch the latest "Murder on the Orient Express" with Branagh?
@@benvanasse3397 I saw the Branagh film, and while I didn't hate the film, I thought it was just OK I suppose. I am not yet decided about how I feel regarding Branagh's interpretation of the character. It is not bad, and there are some scenes where Branagh is really excellent. But I don't know quite yet. I think I need to watch more adaptations by him before I can make a decision. What about you? Did you see it?
@@DaisukeBeppu I did just recently. I have to say I was disappointed by it. "Death on the Nile" has been announced, so we will get to see more from him. I am looking forward to Malkovich's interpretation (he can be so good when he wants to be).
Quite a selection of choices I must say. A lot of great choices. While I think my top 10 films would be films I could watch over and over, I could possibly see how some may not be as re-watchable in that after it’s over I can watch it again. I think the first six Star Wars films, which I consider to be one movie because of the story it tells, are films I love watching them and never get tired of watching any of those films, so I think any of them, particular he original Star Wars, Episode IV, are films I would never get tired of watching. Jaws is another film I love that I could watch over and over again, in fact the second time I attempted to watch Jaws, which was when I was 10 after I turned the film off just before the little boy was killed 4 years before when I tried to originally watch it when I was 6 as I was frightened because of the music, I made it through the film and immediately rewatched it, mainly to figure out why I was frightened of it years before as well as because it’s just that good of a film. The Dark Knight Trilogy, which I also view as one movie because of the story of Bruce Wayne it has, I could rewatch over and over again. I could just rewatch any of the three Batman films Nolan made and enjoy them over and over again as I did the first time I ever saw them. I think Lawrence of Arabia would also have to be on such a list for me, but I really would have to think about what my favorite films are and which films I could rewatch over and over with no problem. Thank you for this video Daisuke, it really got me thinking about which films I could just watch over and over and never get tired of.
Oh gosh, I knew you would say STAR WARS, my friend!!!! Excellent! I was thinking about mentioning the films, and in particular THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, but I didn't mention it. And now I am regretting that decision! Oh well, maybe next time. And the Dark Knight Trilogy! Awesome. This has a huge immediate rewatchability factor. You are on to something. And wow.... LAWRENCE OF ARABIA!!!!!! This is really, really impressive! I love the film, but I am not sure if I am able to watch it again immediately after it ends. So, I am very impressed with this.
Thank you Daisuke. I wasn’t sure about adding Lawrence of Arabia, due to its length, but if I had about 7-8 hours to myself, I could perhaps see myself watch Lawrence of Arabia twice if the mood struck me. Though, it’s usually a film I watch one time and then wait a while before watching it again. I will say, I’d love to watch Big Trouble in Little China again right after I finished watching it. It’s such a great film to watch from beginning to end, as is the Star Wars films or the Dark Knight films. It’s so entertaining and engaging.
What an excellent list! I've yet to see Notorious, but I highly anticipate it's blu-ray release on Criterion. I've recently watched Vertigo for the first time in probably 20 years and I'd go with that as my Hitchcock pick that I can watch in a loop. A really gorgeous film. But on the entertainment scale, I'd watch The Lady Vanishes on a loop- so much fun! Dawn of the Dead IS something I have watched over and over. I agree- the European cut is my least favorite as well. I went through a really obsessive period with this film when I was younger. I even met most of the cast, and George Romero himself, at local horror conventions years ago. I first saw this film when I was 7 years old, hah! Two films that I'd add on my list of loop watches, and indeed I have done this with these films: Baraka and Samsara. I played Baraka at a house party I hosted when I was 17. Everyone was expecting loud music and drinking, but instead, I had them all subdued watching that with the lights out! Samsara I saw when it was in theaters at the now torn down Sunshine Cinema in NYC. It was a life changing experience. I really do miss that theatre. I have a new film addition that I'd add onto my "loop" list, which I just watched last night for the first time. I proudly recieved my first Eclipse boxsets yesterday- Chantal Akerman in the 70's and Nikkatsu Noir. I have only watched the first disc of the Akerman set, "The New York Films" . I'd easily watch all 3 of the films on loop, but especially "News from Home" . It is, at least in my eyes, one of the most beautiful movies I had ever watched and now one of my favorites of all time. Since I live close to NYC, I always am fascinated with how it was decades ago, before I was alive. I'm especially interested in the 70's scene. Well, this movie is the closest thing to a time machine. The shots were so well composed, and that ending sequence? Even though I'm a 5 min drive to that film location in the end shot, it still took my breath away. The letters from her mother were simply beautiful. I was in a trance. After the film ended, I couldn't move for about 10 mins. I was feeling a multitude of emotions. I couldn't compose thoughts, and didn't want to speak to anyone. The New York Films reminded me somewhat of Brian Eno's visual work. In fact, I would LOVE an Eclipse set of Brian Eno's work!
This is such a rich comment! I must say that I really love that Akerman set as well. It is really a wealth of images and ideas. and it has a lot of lasting impact! You are so right about this set. Have you seen the film Jeanne Dielman 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles?
Great video and movie topic. My "loop" movies: Scott of the Antarctic Jurassic Park The Empire Strikes Back Henry V For me, the common theme is the music, which takes a great film and makes it work more like a symphony or album.
I have to say, the way you say "my dear, dear friends" makes me feel like you're actually saying it to me. You are a very warm person and I thank you for that. So, this is probably not going to be read by anyone, since the video is an "older" one, but I am obviously going to name 10 movies I could watch on a loop. Anything that makes you think about movies is time well spent. 1. Groundhog Day 2. Les Vacances de M. Hulot 3. Ben-Hur 4. Ready Player One 5. White Men Can't Jump 6. La La Land 7. Anchorman 8. Modern Times 9. Sunset Boulevard 10. Sherlock Jr. Again, this is for the 'on a loop' category. It would be very different for 'you can only watch 10 movies for the rest of your life, which would they be - category'. Thanks for entertaining. I hope you keep it up. You're a welcome and peaceful entity in a tumultuous (not sure on the spelling here) time.
Thank you so much for sharing this. It was a pleasure for me to read. Regarding your number one choice on your list... one of my favorite lines from that film is... "Wrestlemania!!!". Cheers my dear friend for this. I hope you are well. You are so kind!! Warmest regards.
Daisuke, I am an not sure of you have spoken about or answered this yet, but what did you think of Rian Johnson’s “Knives Out?” I ask because it is a film so indebted to Agatha Christie and “who-done-its” like “Clue.”
Thank you so much for asking this question, Egroj D. I admit that I have not yet seen the film yet (I am not good at all regarding watching recent films from the last couple years). I have heard many good things about the film, including how it works as a whodunnit in the tradition of Agatha Christie (I am a big fan of Christie mysteries). I will try to check it out. Thank you for this recommendation, and I hope you are well.
Big Trouble, all right! I can't believe I forgot that on my list below. What a fool I am!! You're right, the watchability is off the charts. One of my absolute favorites. Russell as Jack Burton is one of the most purely entertaining characters ever. Not a moment he's not spot on in his performance.
I'll have to check out most of these films because I have seen only Dawn of the Dead and Big Trouble. For me, the most "on a loop" movie would have to be The Fifth Element. The European sensibilities brought to a clichéd, Hollywood big budget action film created something wholly unique for me. This is most felt in the art direction and soundtrack. A lot of detail is put in on how the world of the movie operates. Also, Gary Oldman going ham is never a bad thing.
Thank you so much for this comment! Oh man, the FIFTH ELEMENT!!!! I haven't seen this in so long, but I want to see it now thanks to your comment. I loved this film so much!!!
Your tastes are so varied and interesting. As much as I like movies, I don't think there's any that'd I'd watch in a loop per se. At best, and thanks to commentary tracks, I'll watch a movie again right after with the commentary more so to get a better understanding of the movie. A good example is Nashville I finally watched on Christmas Eve. Good movie and performances, but what the heck was Altman and all trying to say? And with most Altman films, I come away more confused after listening to the commentary. LOL David Lynch is another one, but come away with a better appreciation for his craft and hidden details. And of course John Waters, that just makes his movies more fun and funnier when he talks over them. I think the only movie I ever watched back to back was Monty Python's And Now For Something Completely Different. I laughed so hard at the Blackmail bit, I stayed in the theater to watch it again and laughed just as hard again. Big Trouble In Little China....? You always fascinate me my friend! LOL
Haha! Thank you for this comment, DungeonStudio. Wow... Nashville on Christmas Eve! Complex and rich, and Barbara Harris is lovely. And you have a great point about the commentaries. This is very essential to modern-day film consumption, and so you are so right to mention these. I should point out that the commentary track to Big Trouble in Little China (with John Carpenter and Kurt Russell) is one of the best commentary tracks I have ever heard! It is so funny and warm.
I can watch a lot of movies on a loop, but it usually needs to be a comedy or something positive. Nothing with an extremely bleak ending and nothing too stressful or violent or especially where the characters have extremely bitter and hurtful personal relationships. Last summer I watched Roman Holiday and The Big Country multiple times in a row. Lately I’ve done that with Local Hero. Other comedies or dramas I like to watch multiple times in a row are The Green Man, I See a Dark Stranger, My Man Godfrey, The Lady Vanishes, Master and Commander, The Best Years of Our Lives, Spies of Warsaw, The Double Life of Veronique, The Wilderness Years (1981 tv series about Churchill in the 1930s) To Be or Not to Be (Lubitsch).Bringing Up Baby, Casablanca, The Third Man, I Know Where I’m Going.
What a great comment my friend. Thank you so much for this. By the way, I appreciate and understand your approach with respect to films that are not bleak or too stressful etc.
Daisuke Beppu My dear friend, If you haven’t watched the 1956 film The Green Man yet, I strongly advise that you check it out. It’s 80 minutes of sheer perfection. I love the stellar cast, I love the screenwriters Launder and Gilliat, and I love these Ealing Studios-style British comedies from the 1940s and 50s like Kind Hearts and Coronets, The Man in the White Suit, The Captain’s Paradise, Whiskey Galore, The Ladykillers, etc.
Hi Daisuke, I'm not so much a fan with watching films 'on a loop', but I'll happily rewatch it with an audio commentary track. Especially if it's the director, I find they can provide a new point of view and a deeper appreciation of the film while not requiring the full emotional investment of watching it again. Are there any criterion collection commentary tracks you would recommend?
Oh yes.. audio commentaries are great. I think that my favorites are the commentaries by Joseph McBride and by Tony Rayns. There is a particularly fantastic commentary with the film A BRIGHTER SUMMER DAY.
Hello again Daisuke. Another intereating video although this comment is not related to this topic. I wondered if you had ever heard or heard of a podcast called "WTF with Marc Maron"? Marc is a stand up comedian & actor and interviews people he likes. 2 episodes are uploaded a week. An actor called Topher Grace (That 70s Show, Interstellar, Black Klansman) was on this week and he told a story about being babysat by Chloe Sevigny which rang a bell because I remembered someone else saying that she was their babysitter and then I remembered it was you! Check a few episodes out if you get the chance - quite a few film related ones.
Hello, Paul! It is nice to talk with you as always. And your comment is wonderful. So, yes, I have heard of that podcast, but I have never listened to it with any sort of frequency. Perhaps I think I should now, since you mentioned it! Thank you so much! And I did not know that about Topher Grace! So, I am looking at his wikipedia page, and it looks like he was born in 1978, which makes him one year older than me. So, the timing fits! You know, I didn't realize that he also lived in Darien, CT, but now that I think about it, I do seem to recall someone had mentioned it to me some years back. Thank you so much for thinking of me!! And thank you for remembering that story I said about Chloe Sevigny! So, yes, I think I mentioned that I don't directly remember her or have any memories of her. But my mom did tell me that she did babysit me, and I do remember her mother Mrs. Sevigny who was such a lovely and warm person.
A great list. Picking 10 movies I could watch on loop is tricky as I love too much but I'll give it a shot. 10. Rear Window 9. Jaws 8. Clue (Love that movie too) 7. Pulp Fiction 6. Scream 1 5. Predator 4. Tenebre 3. Evil Dead 2 2. The Thing 1. Alien Honorable mentions: Day of the Dead, Army of Darkness, Die Hard, Robocop, Aliens, Spiderman (2002)
Hello my good friend Hope all is well. My first movie to ever rent on vhs was first blood . We watched it 4 times in a row. In the movie theater I used to always beg my brother to let us watch the movie again. He agreed once Popeye . Great list , be well
In this video you mention the unlikely chance you lose your collection in a fire etc. I was wondering, have you ever considered getting your collection insured?
Hello! So yes I have thought about it, but ultimately for me, as much as I love my collection, it is ultimately OK for me if it is lost. The most important thing for me is that my family would be safe, and so that is most important.
@@DaisukeBeppu Geez Daisuke, that's a great answer. I was wondering do you have an anime collection? Not that I want to make the channel about anime. I just love it as much or slightly more than criterion. And have you ever seen kemonozume directed by Masaaki Yuasa? I haven't but I'm trying to find a decently priced box set that I can get to America. I'm patient though.
Movies that I have watched on a loop: Speed (1994), Mortal Kombat (1995), Dumb and Dumber (1994), Bloodsport (1988), Ferris Buellers Day Off (1986), The Terminator (1984), Observe and Report (2009), Jackie Brown (1997), Rumble In the Bronx (1995), Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World (2010) ... the list could go on and on.
By the way, I forgot to say but I finally finished a brighter summer day for the second time and I realized how great the cinematography is. A very beautiful film. Now it won’t beat my favorite film Yi Yi but it’s very close
Ferris Bueller's Day Off Muriel's Wedding Grease Pee Wee's Big Adventure// I think I know the lines and next scene in all, yet I never tire of watching them again and again. They are all comedies, but none would make my list of all time best movies; that list would include likes of Lawrence of Arabia, Jaws, 2001, Psycho, etc. There's just something about these light and breezy comedies/dramadies that I liken to a favorite pop song or tune that we all love and have listened to hundreds and hundreds of times down through the years. But when we get more serious we listen to a fine jazz or classical piece, but less frequently,
Some of the films I have done this with are Freaks (1932), The Circus (1928), Memories of Murder (2003), Zodiac (2007), Fantastic Planet (1973), Primer (2004), Conan The Barbarian (1982).
Daisuke Beppu yes! I’ve been busy so I haven’t been commenting much but I’ve still been watching your videos! It’s been great watching your channel grow so much!
Daisuke, I'm curious after hearing you're thoughts on The Beatles Anthology, what are some other bands/ music artists you consider among you're favourites?
Thank you so much for your question. I like many kinds, but I have always also loved prog rock, which I picked up from my dad, who would also play Yes and King Crimson records in the house when I was a kid.
This might be a "basic" answer, but all of the Star Wars movies. I try to spread out rewatches of movies I really love to keep them fresh, but any Star Wars movie I can start again after it ends and still feel the same joy and emotion, and maybe even some new emotions or opinions. I'm also one of those fans who likes every single one, warts and all.
I love Star Wars too! I don't remember it all too well, but one of the first films I saw in the theater was Return of the Jedi. I grew up watching the films on these CBS/FOX VHS tapes, and I think I wore down those tapes from so many rewatches.
@@DaisukeBeppu I grew up with the VHS set that had the Leonard Maltin interview with George Lucas. That was one of my first awakenings to the “behind-the-scenes” magic of movies. I haven’t seen any of the OT on the big screen, but hopefully some day
I need help with Picnic at Hanging Rock. Just not a good movie to me. What am i missing? I agree with your first few sentences of your description but for me it never seems to go anywhere. Its a strange one for me
Hello and thank you for the question on this earlier video I made. I think its power comes from its mystery and how many of its elements are left unexplained. And when that happens, we are witness to how this sense of mystery and the unknown is affecting this community in a direct and tragic way. Of course, the film is not for everyone and so it is totally OK if you did not enjoy it my friend. Cheers and thank you so much for the comment. I hope you are well.
Thank you so much. Thumbs down are OK, as I don't mind at all and it is OK for people to express disapproval or not liking. It is a natural response and one that I too have to videos or films that I experience. So if ever you want to put a thumbs down on a video here, please feel free to do so. I don't mind! As for another video with this theme, that is a good idea...!
The only film i watched again straight after first view was EL TOPO. But only because of Jodorowskys audio commentary that revealed the film in a completely new light
Not on loop but there are hundreds of Indian movies i have seen multiple times and when i say multiple times i mean 150-200 times,which i now regret,lol.
My 10. UP (2009) 9. Django (1966) 8. Once upon a time in the west (1969) 7. Duck you sucker (1971) 6. A few dollars more 5. Toy story 4 4. The shining 3.Amadeus 2. Pulp fiction 1. The good the bad and the ugly
I strongly recommend "the return of the living dead" from the 1980's. Blade runner is another great one to watch! They used to have blade runner in criterion collection but no more.
Thank you for the video(s). Loop in our house from Ontario Canada. Some Like It Hot. Magnolia. Empire Strikes Back. Life Aquatic. The Matrix. The Princess Bride. Heat. Bruce Weber's Let's Get Lost...just off the top of my head. Peace.
In no particular order: Hard-Boiled (Woo, 1992) The 'Burbs (Dante, 1989) ¡Three Amigos! (Landis, 1986) 10.000 Dollari per un Massacro (Guerrieri, 1967) Phenomena (Argento, 1985) Mad Monkey Kung Fu (Chia-liang Liu, 1979) Blade Runner (R. Scott, 1982) Breathless (McBride, 1983) the remake? Yes, the ultra-cool remake! Big Trouble in Little China (Carpenter, 1986) Yes! And i'm not mentioning it just to please you! :) Lone Wolf and Cub: Babycart at the River Styx (Misumi, 1972) The Pink Panther Strikes Again (Edwards, 1976) Groundhog Day (Ramis, 1993) Seven Samurai (no joke, I've watched this thingy at least ten times in its entirety, and revisited chunks of this masterpiece a zillion times) Ghostbusters (Reitman, 1984) In the Mood for Love (Wong Kar-wai, 2000) Murder by Death (Moore, 1976) Death Rides a Horse (Petroni, 1967) La Passion de Jeanne D' Arc (Dreyer, 1928) My favorite movie of all time, 29 out of 30 times with Einhorn score! Pulp Fiction (Tarantino, 1994) Chinatown (Polanski, 1974) High Plains Drifter (Eastwood, 1973) Big Lebowski/Miller's Crossing (Coens, 1998, 1990) Summer Rental (C. Reiner, 1985)/The Great Outdoors (Deutch, 1988)/NL Vacation (Ramis, 1983) The Lost Boys (Schumacher, 1987) Rio Bravo (Hawks, 1959) Snake in the Eagle's Shadow (Yuen Woo-ping, 1978) Fist of the North Star (Ashida, 1986) not my favorite animated movie ever, but i can watch this one 'on repeat' Bloodsport (Arnold, 1988) The Dark Crystal (Oz/Henson, 1982) I know; this is a ridiculous(ly) long list! And believe me; there are many more movies I could mention here. I'm the king of 'the rewatch'. Many times, for me, it's like music. You put on a certain song you love when you are in a certain mood (or you want to get in a specific kind of mood). It's the same thing with movies for me. 1 out of 2 times i don't want to try out something completely new; i just want to be (or stay) in a certain mood that day. And then i'll be rewatching this kind of stuff. Most of the stuff in this list is kinda 'lighthearted'. But I can't watch Salo or Feu Follet all day (which are masterpieces by the way): it would destroy me! Greetings!
@@DaisukeBeppu Thank you for the compliment! Saw 'Big Trouble in Little China' for the first time on VHS when i was 9 or 10 years old at my nephew's house. He was mucht older than me and thought this movie was not 'suitable' for a young boy; he tried to make me leave the living room but i bravely persisted and finished the movie. Still love this movie. Most of the time I watch this movie in a double bill with '' The Golden Child' (with Murphy) because i think that is the only movie that comes close to it in terms of 'vibe' or 'tone'. It's such a unique movie. Keep up the good work!
Excellent choice! Are you a Christie fan as well? If so, do you have any favorite Suchet adaptations? I really love Five Little Pigs. But I also love his version of the ABC Murders. As for the TV series, I remember I was living in the UK at the time that the series debuted. I remember that my friends and I were so excited that day, and it was a great time. I recall that the episode was the Adventure of the Clapham Cook. And I was hooked. I admit that I am a bit lukewarm on some of the latter Suchet adaptations, such as the Murder on the Orient Express adaptation with Jessica Chastain, and when his Poirot became very religious. However, I was so happy with the adaptation of Curtain: Poirot's Last Case, and it was so lovely to see Poirot and Captain Hastings together again, one last time. Have you seen the Kenneth Branagh Murder on the Orient Express? I have seen it only once, and while I didn't hate Branagh as Poirot, I think I need another film or two before I can make a judgment about his Poirot. I admit that I thought the film was OK, but I prefer the Lumet version.
I'm a huge Christie fan. This includes all the Miss Marple material. Five Little Pigs is from The Definitive Collection and is excellent. I also like Sad Cypress and Cards On The Table. The ABC Murders is excellent. It is of course from The Movie Collection. A part of the appeal of the Poirot Classic Collection is Poirot with Hastings and Chief Inspector Japp. I've not seen the Branagh Murder On The Orient Express.
I've watched so many videos from you, that your glasses are starting to look small and normal by now 😂
DikkiSoosi 😆😆😆😆😆❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ haha!! Thank you! This made me laugh so loudly! Thank you for making my day.
I dont mean to be offtopic but does anyone know of a method to get back into an Instagram account??
I stupidly forgot my account password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me
@Jesus Adrien instablaster =)
@Deacon Braydon thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im trying it out now.
I see it takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

You are one of those distinct you-tubers that once I begin watching a video, I find myself watching the whole thing and many others, ignoring the length. I applaud you for your passionate attitude towards creating quality videos.
Hello, and thank you so much for this lovely comment. You are very kind to say this. I hope you are well and please have a great rest of your day. Cheers my friend.
I could listen to your videos on loop while doing other things. I hope you make a living doing something related to film. Your passion is contagious... Notorious is a masterpiece.
Bearded Jagger wow! This is one of the nicest comments I have received here! Thank you for such kindness. And yes, NOTORIOUS!!!!! It is so so great. Have a great weekend my friend.
Daisuke, my friend, I love this topic. I think we all have those favorite films that we never get tired of and can watch over and over. I could relate to your comment about watching a movie on VHS and then rewinding it and watching it again. What I do now with my favorites on Blu-Ray is I watch the film. Then I watch all the special features and then I watch the film again. I just love doing this.
Here’s my list of films that I watch on loop:
2001: A Space Odyssey
Throne of Blood
Alien
Blade Runner
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Blade Runner 2049
True Grit (2010)
Unforgiven (1990)
Fantastic Mr. Fox
The Silence of the Lambs
Jaws
Red River (1948)
King Kong (1933)
And the one film I can watch the most (my Big Trouble in Little China):
Master and Commander: Far Side of the World
I absolutely love this film by Peter Weir and I can’t get enough. I love the music and the cinematography. I love the acting and the characters. I love the sound effects. It’s seems like such a realistic depiction of life on a 19th century man-o-war. I keep hoping one day Peter Weir will make a sequel. If not I’ll continue to play this one on loop. Lol.
Preston my friend!
Thank you so much for this!
I must therefore now commit to watching again that great film Master and Commander: Far Side of the World! I really liked that film but I admit I have only seen it once. So to hear you talk about it makes me very excited indeed!
As for your list, I love it!! I am amazed that you have 2001 on the list! I am very impressed with this!
And you know, I also loved Unforgiven, but I admit that it's hard for me to watch on a loop because it is such an emotionally draining experience for me because of how the film transpires towards that intense climax.
And I know of your love for the film BLADE RUNNER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And you would put BLADE RUNNER 2049 on your loop list as well!!!! Brilliant!!!
Daisuke Beppu Let me know your feelings after watching MASTER AND COMMANDER: FAR SIDE OF THE WORLD again. For me it’s so exquisite. I love the music so much I even have the soundtrack. I really enjoy the interaction between Captain Jack Aubrey played by Russell Crowe and Dr. Stephen Maturin played by Paul Bettany. The two characters are so opposite in personality but yet when they are together they make music together, literally. One plays the violin and the other plays the cello. Those scenes of two friends playing together are just beautiful.
Also the film was nominated for 10 Oscars including Best Picture and won 2 for Best Cinematography and Best Sound Editing which was truly well deserved. When watching it again turn the sound way up so you can fully appreciate the sound. You can actually hear the creaking of the wood of the ship. And the sound effects during the storm as they round Cape Horn is truly a wonder. It makes the scene so intense and heart wrenching when one of the seaman falls into the sea.
I also think that the Captain represents both the military leader and the Priest. He’s the extroverted pragmatist, the politician and the spiritual leader. While the Doctor represents the scientist. He’s the introverted naturalist, the explorer, and the voice of reason. They constantly butt heads but in the end they can play beautifully together. What a great analogy for science and the humanities working together to interpret our world.
One more thing I forgot to add is I watched this film so many times that the plastic case broke. Haha. I had to buy a new plastic case to replace the old one.
Ok I can go on and on about this film. I’ll stop there. Lol.
On a loop I could watch GoodFellas, Once, Taxi Driver, Casablanca, Up, American Beauty, Trainspotting and La La Land without a moment's hesitation. Keep up the good work, Daisuke.
Dear Park Life, thank you so much for this great list! I think this is really great.
Casablanca is probably the only film I play on loop in the background of life.
Great video! The films I watch on loop are Inherent Vice, Phantom Thread, The Shining, Blue Velvet, The Ninth Gate, the original Indiana Jones trilogy, and the original Star Wars trilogy.
Oh gosh... thank you so much for this list you have! Amazing!! And I am incredibly impressed, especially with such "intense" films like Blue Velvet! To have a Lynch film on your "loop" list is so incredible. And I share your love and passion for the OT Star Wars and the three Indiana Jones films! Cheers to you!
The burbs, back to the future, taxi driver, lost boys, vertigo, the blues Brothers, a clock work orange. Casino, the game. Are just a few i can watch many more films over on loops. Thanks for your great videos!
Thank you so much for your great comment and films. Excellent!
Daisuke - As I mentioned I go back in time to view your videos and I cam across this one and it gave me great joy - I found myself nodding over and over as you revealed the films you could watch on a loop. I particularly agree with
Murder on the Orient Express
Notorious
Star Trek II
Picnic at Hanging Rock
Dawn of the Dead
Big Trouble in Little China
I would add -
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)
The Thing (John Carpenter - but also the original)
The Sound of Music ( I know all the lyrics)
The Martian
The Haunting (Robert Wise)
Hello Allen my dear friend, and thank you so much for this! Wow, what a great list you provide!
Of those films, I think the one that I have seen the least is The Martian (which I have seen only once). I liked it when I first saw it, but I haven't seen it since. Your comment has made me want to give it another re-watch, so thank you so much for that my friend. I hope you are well.
Thanks Daisuke - it’s interesting to think about all the things that go into making a film “loop” worthy - I think one of those factors in the case of The Martian is subject matter - the concept of man leaving earth to visit another planet is a fascinating one to me... obviously there are a lot of films that touch on that subject so other factors come into play to make this one I can watch on a loop. I also adored the book. Hope you’re having a great day my friend.
I knew it!! Jack Burton!!! I would've been very upset if this film was not mentioned here, but you as always do not disappoint!
Yes! Thank you so much my friend! Haha, Jack Burton!!!
I haven't been so enthralled by anyone talking film since watching Elwy Yost Saturday Night at the Movies on TVO, oh so many years ago. Thank you for your enthusiasm, knowledge, and passion
Dear mslizziela,
Wow, what a great compliment. I am really touched and honored! Thank you and it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance. I hope you are well and I hope to be able to talk to you again very soon.
Cheers, and once again, my deepest thanks and gratitude to you for your extremely kind words.
Thank you so much for sharing your personal and elaborate thoughts on the films that you must have seen countless times. I haven’t seen any of them (🙈) but I just added Murder on the Orient Express, Clue, Notorious, Picnic at Hanging Rock, and Seven Dials Mystery to my ever-growing watchlist. 🤗🇳🇱
Thank you so much for watching and commenting on this older video of mine. Yes, I look at the list now and I think I would not change it at all (I might add some more, but I would not take any away). Cheers my friend and I hope you are well.
Great comments. Always on the lookout for films I've missed, got quite a few
Thank you so much for your kind comment. I really appreciate it.
....had to wait for the rewinding to finish!
You make it sound like it was torture!😂😂😂
I don’t think it was torture. But it was a part of the VHS experience.
I would love a Criterion Dawn of The Dead release. Their release of Night of The Living Dead was phenomenal.
Hello Tyson Mindham, and that would be so brilliant if that could happen. I agree!
Interesting list, Daisuke. Some I have not seen but will have to. The first two back to back viewings I can recall are Pink Floyd's The Wall and A Clockwork Orange. I had rented them on VHS in the late 80s. I was awestruck by both and knowing I had to return them soon I put them on again. A wonderful experience.
Thank you so much for sharing your own "on a loop" films!! Much appreciated and I hope you are well.
Greetings Daisuke! I have been watching many of your videos lately because I find your observations very sound and you are overall just a very calm and interesting person in the film side of TH-cam.
There are various movies I can just watch over and over but I think there are 10 that I can think of off the top of my head, and I recommend checking out the ones you haven't heard of or haven't seen yet!
- Chungking Express
- The Departed
- Under the Silver Lake
- Jurassic Park
- Se7en
- Tazza: The Hidden Card
- Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
- The Good, The Bad, The Weird
- A Silent Voice
- Rear Window
Hello again Jacob, and thank you for this comment here as well. This is a great "on a loop" list!!!
This is an amazing question and list Daisuke, thank you to you and your friend for bringing up this discussion. I think it is so necessary for people to bring up how a film elicits a certain response for that individual. Another specific thing that I like to bring up is what I call the ‘movie drug’. This will make sense if you share this but, there are some films that give me such a level of enjoyment and bliss that is so unique to cinema, that only happens from watching certain films. I call it the ‘movie drug’ because it is something I as a cinephile am always searching for. That special feeling that is almost indescribable that I have only gotten from watching a specific film. Sometimes you can forget what it is like and not be as invested in watching films and discovering more at a quicker pace and start to lack slightly and sort of forget why you are watching films for. Then when you finally do get this, just extraordinarily wonderful feeling, it inspires you to devour films at a faster pace. Anyway this could come out like the ramblings of a mad man since I am trying to describe an indescribable feeling. Let me know if you understand what I mean. Also here’s my top 10 films I can watch in a loop:
10. Groundhog Day - This is a funny pick because of the plot of the film, but all the different details and outcomes I think just keep drawing me back.
9. American Movie - A really entertaining, inspiring and hilarious film with so many quotable lines.
8. For a Few Dollars More - My favourite of the man with no name trilogy. Unusual I know, I recognise that The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is the better film but I just love this one the most.
7. Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me - Such a fantastic film. My favourite Lynch film too. When I hear the word tragedy the only thing I think of is Laura Palmer in this film. Surprisingly the hard subject matter doesn’t lesson the rewatchability for me.
6. Pretty much all of Kubrick’s films - I would exclude; Fear and Desire, Killer’s Kiss and Spartacus.
5. Rashômon - I just love seeing the different character’s telling of the events again and again.
4. The 400 Blows - The whole Antoine Doinel collection as a whole is wonderful but this film stands so strongly on its own.
3. Seven Samurai - With a running time of 3hrs and 30mins it goes by so quickly in an amazingly pleasurable way.
2. Ed Wood - This film has an extreme amount of rewatch ability for me.
1. Tokyo Story - I have seen this six times in the past two months since the first viewing and I still don’t get bored. I am sure I will watch it many more times in the future.
INCREDIBLE!!!!!!! I love this description you give about a "movie drug". there is indeed this sense of euphoria that comes about upon watching certain kinds of films... and this can be so wholly personal and individualized, which is the most interesting thing. You sound like a film philosopher!
As for your list.... amazing... really amazing. Wow... if I could point out some titles that really popped out at me: TWIN PEAKS FIRE WALK WITH ME!!! I love this film. This is my favorite Lynch film, and I love the Twin Peaks universe. I could have easily put this one (or Eraserhead or Mulholland Dr.) on my own list. Garmonbozia... this is a formica table. Green is its color.
And ED WOOD!!!! Amazing!!!!!! I saw this in the theater when it was released. It was empty, and so there was just me and my mom. But it was so much fun and I love it!!! Oh man, Ed Wood! Pull the strings!
Dear Daisuke Beppu, I am so glad you know what I mean, thank you for the kind words and awesome quotes... Beware. Beware. Beware of the big, green dragon that sits on your door step... he eats little boys, puppy dog tails and big fat snails. BEWARE.... TAKE CARE!
One that immediately comes to mind is the Korean horror film "A Tale of Two Sisters" (2003), which I watched immediately after seeing it the first time because there is so much intricacy and detail to unpack. It's actually my favorite movie.
I haven't seen this, but if you mention it then it must be excellent!!
What is the best way to get this film? Is it on blu ray?
I am going to butt in here for a bit second. :)
I have to agree and highly recommend this movie. It has been a favorite of mine for well over a decade.
It does have a Blu-ray. I did some checking and it seems there is a UK BD amaz. uk for about 10 pounds. I also found this (link below) Nova media edition which looks nice. Seems to be on sale but shipping might ruin it for the deal like it pretty much did for me. Also, I am not intending to push purchasing this on you so please don't take this that way.
Hope you enjoy the movie when you get a chance to view it.

@@anillegibletombstone THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is wonderful!!!!
Thanks a lot for responding, Shahns. I hope Daisuke enjoys this one. He definitely needs to put his thinking cap on while watching it. :)
I could watch every Miyazaki film on a loop, especially Howl’s Moving Castle and Princess Mononoke.
Quite a few films by Wes Anderson would also make the list, most notably Grand Budapest Hotel and Life Aquatic, very special films to me.
Pulp Fiction being my favorite film of all time makes the list easily. I could drop everything and watch Pulp Fiction at any time.
But the film I’ve watched more than any other film would have to be Hot Rod starring Andy Samberg. I used to watch it three or four times a day when I was in middle school and early high school. Even now I could play it endlessly. Probably hasn’t aged super well, but to me it’s always been hilarious.
This is a very interesting comment, because you very nicely make a distinction between a "favorite" film and a "loop" film, and I really love this. You have very obviously put so much thought into this question! And you show a great range in taste that is very rich and varied and excellent. Well done my friend. Thank you for your great comment and cheers.
Hi Daisuke! Very interesting topic. Here are some of my favourites to watch on a loop.
Once upon a time in the west, Psycho, Lost in Translation, Le Trou, Yojimbo, Big Sleep, Red Shoes, Castle of Cagliostro, and of course Big Trouble in Little China. I feel the 1980s was the best decade for these kind of movies that you can watch on a loop, generally between an hour and forty minutes to 2 hours long. If you like Kurt Russell I just saw a film called Used Cars. A raunchy comedy from the early 80s that not a lot of people have heard of. Thank you for these videos and farewell for now!
Oh yes, Kookaboo, my friend. You mention some great ones... LE TROU!! and CASTLE OF CAGLIOSTRO!!!!!!!! Wow!!!!!! I should have mentioned that one!!
Once Upon A Time in the West! I was actually considering mentioning this one, but I think for me that in the end it is a film that I love so much but I wouldn't necessarily rewatch it immediately. I would probably need some time before watching it again, to let it all sink in. Still, this is a great choice! also, USED CARS!!!!!! Oh man!!! I haven't thought about this film in so long! But this is wonderful!!!!!!! How did you see it? Is it on blu ray?
Daisuke Beppu Hi Daisuke! There is a twilight time blu ray which is very expensive so I broke down and bought the DVD for less than $10. There is a shout factory release coming early next year I hear. If you do end up buying it make sure it has the audio commentary with Kurt Russell on it, it's almost as good as the movie. I love all of his commentaries on the John Carpenter films as well. You can tell he really loved making these movies.
@@kookaboo4759 Oh great! I didn't know about the Shout Factory planned release! Thank you for letting me know about that! This is very helpful for me, my friend.
Hi Daisuke! Talking about Once Upon A Time In The West, I recently have become interested in spaghetti westerns. I don't think I've heard you talk about them on your channel. I was wandering if you've seen any outside of the Sergio Leone films? Thanks for reading.
@@kookaboo4759 yes, I love spaghetti westerns, and yes the non-Leone ones as well! I haven't spoken about them yet, but one day I should. I am not an expert, but I love for example the films by Sergio Corbucci like Navajo Joe and the Mercenary.
Do you have any favorites?
Awesome video man! I’m just starting to get into the Criterion Collection, I only have about twenty so far, so your videos have been very helpful/insightful
Hello Homiedogslice. Thank you for your kind comment. So, what are some of the titles in your collection that you like the best so far? Are there any films in particular that you are into to? There is no rush at all, but if you have a moment, and if you don't mind, I would love to hear a little bit about what kinds of films you are into. Best regards!
No it’s no problem at all, I’d love to let you know! I’ve always had a soft spot for film noir, psychological horror, and Sci-Fi in particular, but I’ve tried to have a pretty diverse level of films in my collection. (: My favorites in my collection currently are films like Brazil, Eraserhead, Ace In The Hole, Paths of Glory, Seconds, Repulsion, and On The Waterfront. I just recently ordered Stalker, Night of The Hunter, and Vampyr. I also ordered Picnic at Hanging Rock because of your strong recommendation. (:
@@Cawd217 OH WOW!!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!! Thank you for sharing with me and getting back to me so quickly! This is incredible. You know I am a fan of film noir but I am far from being an expert. So reading your comment makes me very happy. And you mention Brazil and Eraserhead and Ace in the Hole.... wow... Stalker... Wow!!! And Picnic at Hanging Rock! Thank you so much! I would LOVE to hear your thoughts on that one if/when you get a chance to see it! This is such a great comment!
Great choices! Some of my favorite films I make an event out of and only watch every year or two but theres some films that have a high rewatchability factor that I revisit a lot. Films that I've watched or can watch on a loop are the Master, Magnolia, Nashville, La Dolce Vita, the Thin Red Line, Rio Grande, the Misfits, Double indemnity, BeetleJuice, Trains, Planes & Automobiles, Creepshow, Tarantino, Hitchcock, Argento films and too many more to name
thank you!
Oh by the way, I might have asked you this before but just in case I didn't: I am going to be making some videos about the Ingmar Bergman Box set. Do you mind if I refer to your unboxing video and leave a link to your video, in my description section? I think your video is really good to show us about what is inside the set. Also, if you don't mind, I'll also refer to your channel in general. Is that OK?
This is a wonderful video idea my friend. You described your love for each film perfectly! Loving all the videos. I hope you and your family have had a lovely holiday period.
My dear friend, thank you so much! And happy new year!!!
Daisuke! I just subscribed...6000... you will grow... All the best.
I couldn’t have done it without friends like you. Thank you so much for subscribing at “6”, and for your kind support of this channel. It means a lot and your encouraging words are wonderful.
I love this idea! I will have to do it for my channel too. Some of the movies I watch on a loop is Reanimator, Society, Tampopo, True Stories, Tremors, the Lord of the Rings trilogy, Exorcist, The Protector with Tony Jaa, a number of Hayao Miyazaki films like Kiki’s Spirited away and Totoro, Beastmaster, and Yojimbo. That’s just a few as I didn’t want to list everything in my collection haha hope you’re doing well!
Hello and thank you so much for this comment.
I must say that your list is really excellent... and Society!!
Daisuke Beppu thank you so much for the kind words! One thing I love about watching films is the connections between everything. I’ve always viewed it as a giant jigsaw puzzle where each piece is a movie, small sections of the puzzle are directors’ works, and the larger sections are entire genres. Some areas blend into each other and the more I watch the more I have a better idea how one thing influences the other. Hope you had an amazing Monday!
That is a tough question to answer. 100% agree with big trouble in Little China. I can watch most Zatoichi films over and over. Lastly the film I recall seeing before any other film and one I can watch over and over is Conan the Barbarian.
Zatoichi!!!! One of these days, hopefully early in 2019, I will get to the Zatoichi films.
And, oh man, Conan the Barbarian!!! That soundtrack helped me through many rough patches in my life--such a rousing and inspiring score.
Hello again Daisuke. I am a new fan but you are absolutely brilliant. I don’t have many films I could watch right away again but many I would watch the next day. I enjoy a wide range but I find that a lot of films meant for younger audiences are the ones that lend themselves to immediate rewatch. For instance the BBC adaptation of the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe. I also never tire of the Wizard of Oz. And I wonder if you’ve seen Rango, as I find it to be a unique and beautiful film amongst its bretheran. When that came out over ten years ago I watched it almost every day for a month. Anyway thank you for the wonderful and sincere videos. Cheers!
Thank you so much Seamus M for your really lovely comment. You are so vey kind.
And oh gosh, yes, I remember the BBC the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe!! And I have not seen Rango, so I thank you for your recommendation. Warmest regards and I hope this comment finds you well.
Excellent list, sir! Flight of the Navigator was mine in my younger days with my big sister making me watch Three Men and a Little Lady over and over! 😣 I used to even take the VHS versions of Aliens, Die Hard and Terminator on holiday with me so I could keep watching them! Totally with you on Wrath of Khan, best in the series.
My current list is mostly John Carpenter! They Live, Prince of Darkness, Big Trouble in Little China, The Thing. Then Se7en, The Age of Adeline, Secretary and my guilty pleasure..... Captain America: The Winter Soldier! 😉
Best post credit quote ever! Glad I stuck around for it 😎
Oh gosh... Flight of the Navigator!!! I remember watching this as a kid in the theater! And THREE MEN AND A LITTLE LADY!!!!! I had such a movie crush on Nancy Travis in that film. I also saw this one in the theater! (I also saw THREE MEN AND A BABY in the theater as well!) Oh and you have the VHS versions of Aliens and Die Hard and the Terminator!!!!! My goodness, this is very impressive.
You know, I haven't seen most of the Marvel films. I really want to, but I haven't had the time. But since you mention Captain America: The Winter Solder, I will try to watch the films. Thank you for giving me a push in the right direction!
And I am totally with you about John Carpenter. I think I could have put in more Carpenter films on my own list. Escape from New York too. And Halloween, and Halloween 2 (though I know it's not a Carpenter-directed film). Also, I have recently really fallen in love with Village of the Damned and In the Mouth of Madness, thanks to the recent Scream Factory releases. What do you think of these films?
And, thank you for catching the post-credit quote! Haha! I didn't think anyone would catch it, but you did!!! Well done!!!
@@DaisukeBeppu You don't seem old enough to have seen them in the theater! But Flight of the Navigator must have been so exciting for you back then? I remember being excited for the Invaders From Mars remake.... My excitement soon faded. Who didn't have a crush on the lovely Nancy Travis?! She is a beautiful woman! I'm watching her right now in the excellent Mr. Mercedes! Still as lovely as ever. She had a good role in The Kominsky Method recently as well. My favorite film of hers is Internal Affairs.
I donated my VHS collection to my sister a few years ago, because I'm a very kind brother! 😒 I regret it now. My mom used to get mad at me for taking them instead of clothes because then we had to buy new clothes for me! Crazy times!
Excellent! I hope you enjoy the Marvel style! Since I discovered your channel, I have shifted back towards more serious films so if I can can help shift you towards the more light films then we both win! 🤣
Escape From New York! I can't believe I forgot about it! I picked up the 4K version of Halloween a few weeks ago and was very impressed with it. I could watch it every day! I keep coming across people now who seem to think Halloween 2 is not a good movie. I don't agree! I enjoy it as a nice continuation of the first film. I will check out Village of the Damned, I avoided it because I heard it was worse than Ghosts of Mars, but your recommendation carries weight so I will try! I want the Scream Factory release of In The Mouth of Madness but it's so expensive to have it sent to the UK! I did pick up a cheap German import but the transfer wasn't so good.
Cool! I always stay to the end because I appreciate all the work you put in to your videos.
Also, I must say thank you ever so much for being so polite and respectful in all your videos! It's refreshing these days!
@@NexusEntertainment187 Thank you for the great comment! Oh gosh, you are too kind... haha! I was a little kid when Flight of the Navigator came out!
As for your comment regarding Marvel, this is great. I want to get into these films more, especially because I think my kids would enjoy some of them.
Have you seen the new Halloween film? I haven't seen it yet but I really want to. I hope it is a fun film!
Oh thank you... by the way, you are in the UK? You know, when I was younger, I lived in Surrey for a few years. I used to live in Guildford for a time, and then in Woking. I went to school in a town called Cobham. I wonder where in the UK you are!
@@DaisukeBeppu It was the late 80's so I suppose it makes sense.... ;p
Excellent! I hope you enjoy them and I'm absolutely sure your kids will! I singled out Winter Soldier because it has a bit more to it than others in the series. I did have a think about it last night and Civil War also stands out. The "origin story" films I don't find as good, but as a way to establish characters I can forgive them!
I have pre-ordered the 4K Steelbook of the new Halloween and I'm thoroughly looking forward to it as well! It does look fun! Kind of like an action style horror! I do like Halloween Parts 4 and 5 because of the way they changed the style. Not to diminish my love of John Carpenters style!
I did hear you say you lived in Surrey in one of your videos and was intrigued! It's interesting that you found your way to Tokyo, a place I must visit before I'm too old! I'm all the way up in Hull! Slower pace of life up here compared to down south! Ha! I must admit, I had not heard of Cobham! I've just looked it up and it's lovely! Looks very peaceful, just the way I like it! If I may ask, were you very young when you moved from the U.K?
I agree with another commenter who said that the 80s was the best decade for rewatchable films. Movies like The Goonies, Blade Runner, the Back to the Future trilogy, Indiana Jones trilogy, Star Wars films, This is Spinal Tap, etc., somehow never get old. Of course most films by Hitchcock as well, and for some reason, Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut in particular (but many of his other works as well)...whenever that film comes on TV, I get sucked in and can't stop watching it. All of your choices were interesting to me, but I regret to say I still haven't watched Clue - must remedy that soon! :)
I am very intrigued about your mentioning of Eyes Wide Shut! This is very interesting indeed.
I should have mentioned The Goonies as well! I could watch that one over and over and over and never get tired of that one. I don't have a blu ray of that, but thanks to your comment, I think I need to buy it!
I love videos with lists and recommendations. I always find new things to watch
Hello Abdo Esa, and thank you so much for your very kind words!
17:25 I love how you touch your glasses when the name "George A. Romero" comes back to you. :D
Glad to hear somebody else favours the Extended Version too! I'm sometimes in the mood for the Argento Cut, because there is just more of the glorious Goblin score in that version, but I mostly stick with the Extended Cut. The Theatrical Cut really serves no purpose to me now, since it is very similar, but shorter than the Extended and if I decide to watch this movie, I want to be inside the universe as long as possible. If I remember correctly the Theatrical Cut doesn't even have the scene of the Zombie stepping on the crate and getting beheaded by the helicopter blades, while they stop for fuel. To me, this is now one of the most iconic moments of the film and I don't want to miss it. It also foreshadows the original ending which never was fully shot and only exists in test footage and behind the scenes shots by Tom Savini. It was planned that the last survivor (I think the girl), in a last desperate attempt to avoid becoming a Zombie, would jump into the helicopter blades. A much darker ending... I look forward to the upcoming 4K releases in Germany and the UK, both countries that banned this 'video nasty' back in the day and are now progressive enough to finally accept it as a piece of art.
Hello and thank you so much for your comment!
And yes, Dawn of the Dead... it is such a great film and one that I have seen so many times since I was a young kid. And yes, with many different versions made officially available, it makes for an interesting viewing experience.
Anyway, my friend, thank you again, and I hope you are well.
On a loop I could watch The Hidden Fortress. This to me is one of those movie that is so captivating, it draws you in and makes you feel like you're apart of its "world". This is why Akira Kurosawa is the greatest director of all time.
That is a great film to have as your film to watch on a loop. That is really cool.
I finally got around to watching this. My girlfriend LOVES Clue. Now I have to watch it with her! All your other picks are soooo good. I think Notorious might be my favorite.
Hello and thank you very much for your comment here! Oh yes Clue is such a fun and funny film. Even now I never tire of it.
My very first thought was Clue. I did the exact same thing with the VHS tape I rented when I was a kid. I actually rented it so much that eventually the video store owner actually gave me the VHS because I rented it so much.
Hello again, .Soft Stone! It is nice to hear from you again. And I am so happy to hear about your love of the film CLUE. I absolutely adore this film and I have so many great memories as a kid renting the VHS tape from the rental store. It was such a great film!
That is a great story about how the video store owner eventually gave you the VHS tape! That is so awesome!!
The Shining, Lethal Weapon films, The Big Lebowski, first 3 Indiana Jones films, Training Day, 2001, Rocky films, Lady and the Tramp, The Sopranos(TV-series), American Psycho, Whiplash, The Good, The Bad, The Ugly and the original Star Wars trilogy are some films that I rewatch constantly. When I was younger I rewatched films much more than I do now. There are some films that I watched too many times as a kid, so I don't have the urge to watch them anymore e.g Terminator 2, Demolition Man, Lord of the Rings films(although recently I've felt like watching them), I try to watch all my favorite films at least once a year or year and a half. I still have so many great revered films that I haven't seen yet, so I try to prioritize films I haven't seen yet, but sometimes I got a feeling that I need to watch something that I know is amazing, I call these comfort films. Harakiri is a film that I first watched spring last year, I've watched it 3 times now and it gets better every time, so that's a film I know that I will watch it at least twice a year. I think in a couple of years, when my film knowledge has grown quite a bit, I'll rewatch more films. Lastly, many of my favorite films are really slow and serious films, so they may not be the most rewatchable films, the quality doesn't always mean rewatchability.
Oh gosh, my friend, as always, you impress me to no end with your great comments.
I love these films you mention. But I must say that I have only seen Whiplash once, but I think I will watch it again since you mentioned it.
I am very impressed too that you mentioned Training Day. I think that is a really sharp thriller, with so many twists and turns.
And, oh yes, you make a great point at the end there: "the quality doesn't always mean rewatchability". I agree with you 1000%. As always, such an astute and great point you make.
I guess I've never watched this video... so great to see the passion here. I've missed Picnic at Hanging Rock and looking forward to eventually seeing it. I'm hoping Criterion will put out a new restoration of it as they have been. One obvious one that I have restarted right after finishing on more than one occasion is Mulholland Drive. I have done it with Taxi Driver also. By the end of that film, the way the taxi is driving around during the credits, it just makes you want to go right back to the start. When I was young, I would restart films like Star Wars, Godzilla vs Gigan, The Never Ending Story, Spies Like Us, Superman
Thank you so much for this comment on this older video my dear friend! Great list!!! Spies Like Us!!!! Neverending Story!!!!
Such a good topic for conversation. Have watched many films over like this specially in my youth. Some stand out above others that still evoke the urge to view it again immediately. First to come to mind is Transformers The Movie, have the dialogue memorized for it I think lol. Raiders of the Lost Ark, Superman 2, Back to the Future. One that stands out from my teenage years is The Crow. Most recent one is Mad Max Fury Road, just love its story of a hero that's lost his way and finds it again by the end. Could go on and on talking about these films and what makes them re-watchable and in some cases important to me.
Oh wow... Transformers the Movie! I haven't seen this since I was a kid. And Raiders... Superman 2.... Back to the Future... classics. I am in particular very happy to hear Superman 2, which is my favorite. (By the way, have you seen the Richard Donner cut?)
@@DaisukeBeppu yea saw it a couple of years ago. Its good but for me the theatrical cut is my favorite. Donner's cut changes it up a lot to me.
Surprisingly I’ve never seen clue!!! Just hit Amazon for a copy! Even though TH-cam recs some videos that might be a little older it is absolutely still gold!
I can strongly recommend it my dear friend.
Dawn Of The Dead is like comfort food to me. If I'm down in the dumps it is like a warm blanket. Others with rewatchability are The Party, John Carpenter's The Thing, The Seven Samurai, Singing In The Rain, Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls, Svankmajer's Faust, Abbott And Costello Meet Frankenstein, Captain And Commander, Daisies...
Hello LastBankJob, and thank you!!! Great list... and I must say too that I love how you also have films like Daisies here too. Well done my friend.
I saw Murder on the Orient Express, on Amazon Prime. Loved it! I couldn’t recognise Albert Finney. Brilliant performance!
OH WONDERFUL!! I really love that film. The cast is top notch, and Albert Finney as Poirot is both a surprise and delight. Thank you so much for this!
Big Trouble in Little China!! an 80's classic. Carpenter was on a hell of a roll in that decade with The Thing, Escape from New York, They Live, The Fog, Starman, Prince of Darkness.....wow!

THIS IS SUCH A GREAT LIST!!! I LOVE IT!!! There are many titles that would be on my list too. Amazing... I am so glad to hear you have the Beatles Anthology on your loop list too.
Goodfellas, Breakfast Club, Jaws, Clerks (I've actually watched this 4 times in a row one day!), Drive.
Great list my friend!!
Great list! Picnic at hanging rock is a movie that evokes such emotion in me that I have only ever seen it twice. I find the film so haunting.
A new movie I have been watching on loop is Once upon a time in Hollywood. I was'nt a big fan when I first saw it in theaters. But for some reason every time I watched it the more I liked it. Now it's almost like hanging out with my friends every time I pop it in the blu ray player. Have you seen the film, if so what did you think?
Thank you so much... and yes, I have seen Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. While there are some issues I have, I like the film. I think I need to see it more to get a better handle on it though.
@@DaisukeBeppu great! what issues did you have with the film?
Mechagodzilla was my absolute favorite Godzila film when I was a kid. They would play a lot on weekend afternoons and I always got most excited for this one. Love those films.
Of course I've come to appreciate the original as the all time classic since.
Thank you so much. I love Mechagodzilla as well. What a classic villain of the series.
Great, great video my friend. My number 1 choice would be Big Trouble in Little China!!! It’s a perfect adventure movie.
Some of my choices would be Aliens, Jurassic Park and T2.
Take care
Awesome choices!!!! I saw Jurassic Park and T2 in the theaters! They were such thrilling films to watch!
I’ve got a loop for you, beyond the black rainbow, Mandy, color out of space, the lighthouse and midsommar. You will have one hell of a psychedelic experience.
Great list, Sean. Thank you so much.
The Thing (82) and The Lion King (92) are two films that are very dear to me, and could watch those two a seemingly endless amount of times.
I admire the craft a lot, the cast is a lot of fun, even though they could barely be more different.
And then there are Return of the living Dead, Dawn of the Dead and the Raid, which are just a lot of fun.
Hello and wow, thank you so much for responding to this video about films on a loop! And those are wonderful choices you have made. Well done. Warmest regards and cheers.
Hello again, Daisuke! I know I'm late finding this video, but I felt compelled to mention the two things I have found myself watching right after finishing. It is not something I have ever found myself doing, except in these two cases. I apologize if you have already mentioned it before, but the film Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri had a profound emotional effect on me. I don't know what in particular about it got to me, but I had to watch it a again immediately after the end credits began to roll. I strongly recommend the film if you have not seen it.
The other is not a film, but an episode of the show Castle Rock. Episode seven of season one, titled The Queen, unfortunately requires viewing the episodes before it in order to gain context. I cannot stress this enough, though.. This episode feels like a short film in and of itself and is certainly the best written, directed, acted, etc piece of any television show I have ever seen. It left me exhausted and an emotional wreck, and while I know that sounds dramatic, it was simply powerful.
As always, I really enjoyed your video. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this lovely comment. I really appreciate it.
I admit that I am not so good with watching very recent releases of films, and so I have not yet seen Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. Also I have not seen the show Castle Rock. I have heard a lot about both of these though.
Thank you again my friend and I hope you are well.
Picnic at hanging rock's spell reminds me of a twilights zone episode where the viewer jumps into the movie shes watching and becomes a character. I always get the feeling the movie is going to engulf me. It truly is a film like no other. First time I watched it when I was a teenager marked me forever, something that also happened with another peter weir movie, dead poets society. but while dead poets society no longer has that pull over my middle age version, picnic still fascinates me. Its a magical movie because I've got trouble picking words to describe it as it leaves me with a feeling that I think Ive only experienced in movies in Luigi Bazzoni's Le orme
That is a great observation about this film! Yes, there is a kind of mysterious and almost magical quality about the film. And its mystery remains even after multiple views. Thank you so much for sharing this my friend. And as you mentioned Dead Poets Society... O Captain! my Captain!
@@DaisukeBeppu carpe diem!!
Hi Daisuke - A very interesting question. My list would include Diva, L'incorrigible, Manhunter, Z, The Fearless Vampire Killers, Big Sleep, Le Pere Noel est une Ordure and Casablanca. I meant to ask who is your favorite actor to play Poirot all formats being equal.
Oh my dear friend. Thank you for this. What a lovely list. Incredible. Absolutely incredible.
As for the actors playing Poirot.... hmmm... I know Albert Finney and Peter Ustinov, and I love both of them in different ways. I also love David Suchet as Poirot, in particular the adaptation of FIVE LITTLE PIGS, which could be my favorite David Suchet adaptation.
I know that Alfred Molina also played Poirot, and I also know that John Malkovich is going to play Poirot in an upcoming BBC adaptation of the ABC Murders. I am not sure about that one but I remain open minded.
Are you an Agatha Christie fan?
@@DaisukeBeppu More of Poirot fan really. I think David Suchet probably gave the "best" interpretation of the character, although I enjoy the others you mentioned. I wonder what Malkovich will do with this role. Did happen to watch the latest "Murder on the Orient Express" with Branagh?
@@benvanasse3397 I saw the Branagh film, and while I didn't hate the film, I thought it was just OK I suppose. I am not yet decided about how I feel regarding Branagh's interpretation of the character. It is not bad, and there are some scenes where Branagh is really excellent. But I don't know quite yet. I think I need to watch more adaptations by him before I can make a decision.
What about you? Did you see it?
@@DaisukeBeppu I did just recently. I have to say I was disappointed by it. "Death on the Nile" has been announced, so we will get to see more from him. I am looking forward to Malkovich's interpretation (he can be so good when he wants to be).
Quite a selection of choices I must say. A lot of great choices. While I think my top 10 films would be films I could watch over and over, I could possibly see how some may not be as re-watchable in that after it’s over I can watch it again. I think the first six Star Wars films, which I consider to be one movie because of the story it tells, are films I love watching them and never get tired of watching any of those films, so I think any of them, particular he original Star Wars, Episode IV, are films I would never get tired of watching. Jaws is another film I love that I could watch over and over again, in fact the second time I attempted to watch Jaws, which was when I was 10 after I turned the film off just before the little boy was killed 4 years before when I tried to originally watch it when I was 6 as I was frightened because of the music, I made it through the film and immediately rewatched it, mainly to figure out why I was frightened of it years before as well as because it’s just that good of a film. The Dark Knight Trilogy, which I also view as one movie because of the story of Bruce Wayne it has, I could rewatch over and over again. I could just rewatch any of the three Batman films Nolan made and enjoy them over and over again as I did the first time I ever saw them. I think Lawrence of Arabia would also have to be on such a list for me, but I really would have to think about what my favorite films are and which films I could rewatch over and over with no problem. Thank you for this video Daisuke, it really got me thinking about which films I could just watch over and over and never get tired of.
Oh gosh, I knew you would say STAR WARS, my friend!!!! Excellent! I was thinking about mentioning the films, and in particular THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, but I didn't mention it. And now I am regretting that decision! Oh well, maybe next time. And the Dark Knight Trilogy! Awesome. This has a huge immediate rewatchability factor. You are on to something.
And wow.... LAWRENCE OF ARABIA!!!!!! This is really, really impressive! I love the film, but I am not sure if I am able to watch it again immediately after it ends. So, I am very impressed with this.
Thank you Daisuke. I wasn’t sure about adding Lawrence of Arabia, due to its length, but if I had about 7-8 hours to myself, I could perhaps see myself watch Lawrence of Arabia twice if the mood struck me. Though, it’s usually a film I watch one time and then wait a while before watching it again. I will say, I’d love to watch Big Trouble in Little China again right after I finished watching it. It’s such a great film to watch from beginning to end, as is the Star Wars films or the Dark Knight films. It’s so entertaining and engaging.
Hi Daisuke, thanks again for another video and you just made me want to see your last pick 😊.
Oh gosh! This makes me happy. If it means being able to get one more person to watch that great film, then I get so happy!! Thank you!!
What an excellent list! I've yet to see Notorious, but I highly anticipate it's blu-ray release on Criterion. I've recently watched Vertigo for the first time in probably 20 years and I'd go with that as my Hitchcock pick that I can watch in a loop. A really gorgeous film. But on the entertainment scale, I'd watch The Lady Vanishes on a loop- so much fun!
Dawn of the Dead IS something I have watched over and over. I agree- the European cut is my least favorite as well. I went through a really obsessive period with this film when I was younger. I even met most of the cast, and George Romero himself, at local horror conventions years ago. I first saw this film when I was 7 years old, hah!
Two films that I'd add on my list of loop watches, and indeed I have done this with these films: Baraka and Samsara. I played Baraka at a house party I hosted when I was 17. Everyone was expecting loud music and drinking, but instead, I had them all subdued watching that with the lights out! Samsara I saw when it was in theaters at the now torn down Sunshine Cinema in NYC. It was a life changing experience. I really do miss that theatre.
I have a new film addition that I'd add onto my "loop" list, which I just watched last night for the first time. I proudly recieved my first Eclipse boxsets yesterday- Chantal Akerman in the 70's and Nikkatsu Noir. I have only watched the first disc of the Akerman set, "The New York Films" . I'd easily watch all 3 of the films on loop, but especially "News from Home" . It is, at least in my eyes, one of the most beautiful movies I had ever watched and now one of my favorites of all time. Since I live close to NYC, I always am fascinated with how it was decades ago, before I was alive. I'm especially interested in the 70's scene. Well, this movie is the closest thing to a time machine. The shots were so well composed, and that ending sequence? Even though I'm a 5 min drive to that film location in the end shot, it still took my breath away. The letters from her mother were simply beautiful. I was in a trance. After the film ended, I couldn't move for about 10 mins. I was feeling a multitude of emotions. I couldn't compose thoughts, and didn't want to speak to anyone.
The New York Films reminded me somewhat of Brian Eno's visual work. In fact, I would LOVE an Eclipse set of Brian Eno's work!
This is such a rich comment!
I must say that I really love that Akerman set as well. It is really a wealth of images and ideas. and it has a lot of lasting impact! You are so right about this set. Have you seen the film Jeanne Dielman 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles?
Great video and movie topic.
My "loop" movies:
Scott of the Antarctic
Jurassic Park
The Empire Strikes Back
Henry V
For me, the common theme is the music, which takes a great film and makes it work more like a symphony or album.
Thank you so much and your comment about music and cinema is very excellent. "Like a symphony or album"--well said!
I have never "looped", but two films that come immediately come to mind, and I'm sure there would be numerous more, are Wise Blood and Fahrenheit 451.
Wise Blood!!!! Fahrenheit 451!!!!! What excellent, excellent choices!!! This is very impressive.
I have to say, the way you say "my dear, dear friends" makes me feel like you're actually saying it to me. You are a very warm person and I thank you for that.
So, this is probably not going to be read by anyone, since the video is an "older" one, but I am obviously going to name 10 movies I could watch on a loop. Anything that makes you think about movies is time well spent.
1. Groundhog Day
2. Les Vacances de M. Hulot
3. Ben-Hur
4. Ready Player One
5. White Men Can't Jump
6. La La Land
7. Anchorman
8. Modern Times
9. Sunset Boulevard
10. Sherlock Jr.
Again, this is for the 'on a loop' category. It would be very different for 'you can only watch 10 movies for the rest of your life, which would they be - category'.
Thanks for entertaining. I hope you keep it up. You're a welcome and peaceful entity in a tumultuous (not sure on the spelling here) time.
Thank you so much for sharing this. It was a pleasure for me to read.
Regarding your number one choice on your list... one of my favorite lines from that film is... "Wrestlemania!!!". Cheers my dear friend for this. I hope you are well. You are so kind!! Warmest regards.
I love the Beatles Anthology so much. Is the only Documentary I ended up crying at the end.
Thank you so much! Yes I really love the Anthology as well.
Daisuke, I am an not sure of you have spoken about or answered this yet, but what did you think of Rian Johnson’s “Knives Out?” I ask because it is a film so indebted to Agatha Christie and “who-done-its” like “Clue.”
Thank you so much for asking this question, Egroj D. I admit that I have not yet seen the film yet (I am not good at all regarding watching recent films from the last couple years). I have heard many good things about the film, including how it works as a whodunnit in the tradition of Agatha Christie (I am a big fan of Christie mysteries). I will try to check it out. Thank you for this recommendation, and I hope you are well.
@@DaisukeBeppu Thank you for the kind wishes. When you do check it out, please let us all know what you think!
Big Trouble, all right! I can't believe I forgot that on my list below. What a fool I am!! You're right, the watchability is off the charts. One of my absolute favorites. Russell as Jack Burton is one of the most purely entertaining characters ever. Not a moment he's not spot on in his performance.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! It's all in the reflexes.
I'll have to check out most of these films because I have seen only Dawn of the Dead and Big Trouble. For me, the most "on a loop" movie would have to be The Fifth Element. The European sensibilities brought to a clichéd, Hollywood big budget action film created something wholly unique for me. This is most felt in the art direction and soundtrack. A lot of detail is put in on how the world of the movie operates. Also, Gary Oldman going ham is never a bad thing.
Thank you so much for this comment! Oh man, the FIFTH ELEMENT!!!! I haven't seen this in so long, but I want to see it now thanks to your comment. I loved this film so much!!!
Excellent list of films!
Thank you so much!!
Memento by Christopher Nolan. I loved this movie back in the day. Still do.
benntura,
A great great choice!
Your tastes are so varied and interesting. As much as I like movies, I don't think there's any that'd I'd watch in a loop per se. At best, and thanks to commentary tracks, I'll watch a movie again right after with the commentary more so to get a better understanding of the movie. A good example is Nashville I finally watched on Christmas Eve. Good movie and performances, but what the heck was Altman and all trying to say?
And with most Altman films, I come away more confused after listening to the commentary. LOL David Lynch is another one, but come away with a better appreciation for his craft and hidden details. And of course John Waters, that just makes his movies more fun and funnier when he talks over them. I think the only movie I ever watched back to back was Monty Python's And Now For Something Completely Different. I laughed so hard at the Blackmail bit, I stayed in the theater to watch it again and laughed just as hard again. Big Trouble In Little China....?
You always fascinate me my friend! LOL
Haha! Thank you for this comment, DungeonStudio.
Wow... Nashville on Christmas Eve! Complex and rich, and Barbara Harris is lovely.
And you have a great point about the commentaries. This is very essential to modern-day film consumption, and so you are so right to mention these.
I should point out that the commentary track to Big Trouble in Little China (with John Carpenter and Kurt Russell) is one of the best commentary tracks I have ever heard! It is so funny and warm.
I can watch a lot of movies on a loop, but it usually needs to be a comedy or something positive. Nothing with an extremely bleak ending and nothing too stressful or violent or especially where the characters have extremely bitter and hurtful personal relationships. Last summer I watched Roman Holiday and The Big Country multiple times in a row. Lately I’ve done that with Local Hero. Other comedies or dramas I like to watch multiple times in a row are The Green Man, I See a Dark Stranger, My Man Godfrey, The Lady Vanishes, Master and Commander, The Best Years of Our Lives, Spies of Warsaw, The Double Life of Veronique, The Wilderness Years (1981 tv series about Churchill in the 1930s) To Be or Not to Be (Lubitsch).Bringing Up Baby, Casablanca, The Third Man, I Know Where I’m Going.
What a great comment my friend. Thank you so much for this. By the way, I appreciate and understand your approach with respect to films that are not bleak or too stressful etc.
Daisuke Beppu My dear friend, If you haven’t watched the 1956 film The Green Man yet, I strongly advise that you check it out. It’s 80 minutes of sheer perfection. I love the stellar cast, I love the screenwriters Launder and Gilliat, and I love these Ealing Studios-style British comedies from the 1940s and 50s like Kind Hearts and Coronets, The Man in the White Suit, The Captain’s Paradise, Whiskey Galore, The Ladykillers, etc.
Hi Daisuke, I'm not so much a fan with watching films 'on a loop', but I'll happily rewatch it with an audio commentary track. Especially if it's the director, I find they can provide a new point of view and a deeper appreciation of the film while not requiring the full emotional investment of watching it again. Are there any criterion collection commentary tracks you would recommend?
Oh yes.. audio commentaries are great.
I think that my favorites are the commentaries by Joseph McBride and by Tony Rayns. There is a particularly fantastic commentary with the film A BRIGHTER SUMMER DAY.
Hello again Daisuke. Another intereating video although this comment is not related to this topic. I wondered if you had ever heard or heard of a podcast called "WTF with Marc Maron"? Marc is a stand up comedian & actor and interviews people he likes. 2 episodes are uploaded a week. An actor called Topher Grace (That 70s Show, Interstellar, Black Klansman) was on this week and he told a story about being babysat by Chloe Sevigny which rang a bell because I remembered someone else saying that she was their babysitter and then I remembered it was you! Check a few episodes out if you get the chance - quite a few film related ones.
Hello, Paul! It is nice to talk with you as always. And your comment is wonderful.
So, yes, I have heard of that podcast, but I have never listened to it with any sort of frequency. Perhaps I think I should now, since you mentioned it! Thank you so much!
And I did not know that about Topher Grace! So, I am looking at his wikipedia page, and it looks like he was born in 1978, which makes him one year older than me. So, the timing fits! You know, I didn't realize that he also lived in Darien, CT, but now that I think about it, I do seem to recall someone had mentioned it to me some years back.
Thank you so much for thinking of me!! And thank you for remembering that story I said about Chloe Sevigny! So, yes, I think I mentioned that I don't directly remember her or have any memories of her. But my mom did tell me that she did babysit me, and I do remember her mother Mrs. Sevigny who was such a lovely and warm person.
A great list. Picking 10 movies I could watch on loop is tricky as I love too much but I'll give it a shot.
10. Rear Window
9. Jaws
8. Clue (Love that movie too)
7. Pulp Fiction
6. Scream 1
5. Predator
4. Tenebre
3. Evil Dead 2
2. The Thing
1. Alien
Honorable mentions: Day of the Dead, Army of Darkness, Die Hard, Robocop, Aliens, Spiderman (2002)
Hello and WOW, I love your list!!!! And the honorable mentions too!!!! Brilliant my friend.
@Daisuke Beppu Thank you very much. It was hard picking movies for this list but I got there in the end haha.
Hello my good friend
Hope all is well.
My first movie to ever rent on vhs was first blood . We watched it 4 times in a row. In the movie theater I used to always beg my brother to let us watch the movie again. He agreed once Popeye . Great list , be well
And thank you so much for sharing this with me!!!!! I hope you are well.
In this video you mention the unlikely chance you lose your collection in a fire etc. I was wondering, have you ever considered getting your collection insured?
Hello! So yes I have thought about it, but ultimately for me, as much as I love my collection, it is ultimately OK for me if it is lost. The most important thing for me is that my family would be safe, and so that is most important.
@@DaisukeBeppu Geez Daisuke, that's a great answer. I was wondering do you have an anime collection? Not that I want to make the channel about anime. I just love it as much or slightly more than criterion.
And have you ever seen kemonozume directed by Masaaki Yuasa? I haven't but I'm trying to find a decently priced box set that I can get to America. I'm patient though.
Apocalypse Now has always been my film i can watch over n over.
Hello Christopher and thank you so much. A very excellent choice!
Movies that I have watched on a loop: Speed (1994), Mortal Kombat (1995), Dumb and Dumber (1994), Bloodsport (1988), Ferris Buellers Day Off (1986), The Terminator (1984), Observe and Report (2009), Jackie Brown (1997), Rumble In the Bronx (1995), Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World (2010) ... the list could go on and on.
By the way, I forgot to say but I finally finished a brighter summer day for the second time and I realized how great the cinematography is. A very beautiful film. Now it won’t beat my favorite film Yi Yi but it’s very close
Thank you so much! I am so thrilled that you revisited the film my friend.
Murder on the Orient express is one of my all time favorite films.
FANTASTIC!!!! That is wonderful. This comment has made me very happy!
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Muriel's Wedding
Grease
Pee Wee's Big Adventure//
I think I know the lines and next scene in all, yet I never tire of watching them again and again. They are all comedies, but none would make my list of all time best movies; that list would include likes of Lawrence of Arabia, Jaws, 2001, Psycho, etc. There's just something about these light and breezy comedies/dramadies that I liken to a favorite pop song or tune that we all love and have listened to hundreds and hundreds of times down through the years. But when we get more serious we listen to a fine jazz or classical piece, but less frequently,
Thank you so much!!! By the way, I saw Ferris Bueller’s Day Off in the theater!
Some of the films I have done this with are
Freaks (1932), The Circus (1928), Memories of Murder (2003), Zodiac (2007), Fantastic Planet (1973), Primer (2004), Conan The Barbarian (1982).
Wow... thank you! I am so fascinated by your list!!
Singing In The Rain, Wonder Woman, Mean Girls, and The Birds (filmed in my area and grew up watching this)
That is a great list of choices, and that is very cool regarding The Birds and the location! Thank you and I hope you are having a nice week. Cheers.
Fantastic list!
Thank you my friend! I hope you are well. I still remember how you and I talked earlier this year about you having watched Seven Samurai!
Daisuke Beppu yes! I’ve been busy so I haven’t been commenting much but I’ve still been watching your videos! It’s been great watching your channel grow so much!
There are many films I''ve watched multiple times but The Cutting Edge is the only one I watched for a week straight when I was younger
With Moira Kelly and D.B. Sweeney!
@@DaisukeBeppu I may have had a slight crush on Moira Kelly at the time.
Daisuke, I'm curious after hearing you're thoughts on The Beatles Anthology, what are some other bands/ music artists you consider among you're favourites?
Thank you so much for your question. I like many kinds, but I have always also loved prog rock, which I picked up from my dad, who would also play Yes and King Crimson records in the house when I was a kid.
This might be a "basic" answer, but all of the Star Wars movies. I try to spread out rewatches of movies I really love to keep them fresh, but any Star Wars movie I can start again after it ends and still feel the same joy and emotion, and maybe even some new emotions or opinions. I'm also one of those fans who likes every single one, warts and all.
I love Star Wars too! I don't remember it all too well, but one of the first films I saw in the theater was Return of the Jedi. I grew up watching the films on these CBS/FOX VHS tapes, and I think I wore down those tapes from so many rewatches.
@@DaisukeBeppu I grew up with the VHS set that had the Leonard Maltin interview with George Lucas. That was one of my first awakenings to the “behind-the-scenes” magic of movies. I haven’t seen any of the OT on the big screen, but hopefully some day
I need help with Picnic at Hanging Rock. Just not a good movie to me. What am i missing? I agree with your first few sentences of your description but for me it never seems to go anywhere. Its a strange one for me
Hello and thank you for the question on this earlier video I made. I think its power comes from its mystery and how many of its elements are left unexplained. And when that happens, we are witness to how this sense of mystery and the unknown is affecting this community in a direct and tragic way. Of course, the film is not for everyone and so it is totally OK if you did not enjoy it my friend. Cheers and thank you so much for the comment. I hope you are well.
Omg! I love Big Trouble in Little China! I don't think god knows how many times I have watched it!
Me too! I love this film so much!!
What does "On a loop mean"?
It’s explained in the video my friend 😃👍
I wonder if you did another loop film top 10 now would it have changed?, and who gives this a thumbs down and why,
Thank you so much. Thumbs down are OK, as I don't mind at all and it is OK for people to express disapproval or not liking. It is a natural response and one that I too have to videos or films that I experience. So if ever you want to put a thumbs down on a video here, please feel free to do so. I don't mind!
As for another video with this theme, that is a good idea...!
The only film i watched again straight after first view was EL TOPO. But only because of Jodorowskys audio commentary that revealed the film in a completely new light
That is a great choice for a film on a loop!!!!
Every wes anderson film i can watch on a loop
That is great!
Not on loop but there are hundreds of Indian movies i have seen multiple times and when i say multiple times i mean 150-200 times,which i now regret,lol.
Amazing!!

I strongly recommend "the return of the living dead" from the 1980's. Blade runner is another great one to watch! They used to have blade runner in criterion collection but no more.
I love Return of the Living Dead too!! Thank you so much for this, Kevin The Great.
Thank you for the video(s). Loop in our house from Ontario Canada. Some Like It Hot. Magnolia. Empire Strikes Back. Life Aquatic. The Matrix. The Princess Bride. Heat. Bruce Weber's Let's Get Lost...just off the top of my head. Peace.

The Dark Crystal (Oz/Henson, 1982)
I know; this is a ridiculous(ly) long list! And believe me; there are many more movies I could mention here. I'm the king of 'the rewatch'. Many times, for me, it's like music. You put on a certain song you love when you are in a certain mood (or you want to get in a specific kind of mood). It's the same thing with movies for me. 1 out of 2 times i don't want to try out something completely new; i just want to be (or stay) in a certain mood that day. And then i'll be rewatching this kind of stuff. Most of the stuff in this list is kinda 'lighthearted'. But I can't watch Salo or Feu Follet all day (which are masterpieces by the way): it would destroy me! Greetings!
WOW!!!!! I LOVE THIS LIST MY FRIEND!!!
@@DaisukeBeppu Thank you for the compliment! Saw 'Big Trouble in Little China' for the first time on VHS when i was 9 or 10 years old at my nephew's house. He was mucht older than me and thought this movie was not 'suitable' for a young boy; he tried to make me leave the living room but i bravely persisted and finished the movie. Still love this movie. Most of the time I watch this movie in a double bill with '' The Golden Child' (with Murphy) because i think that is the only movie that comes close to it in terms of 'vibe' or 'tone'. It's such a unique movie. Keep up the good work!
Black rain by ridley scott
Hello and thank you so much for this. What a very interesting choice! Thank you very much for sharing that.
Batman Mask of the Phantasm for me
Yellow Submarine!
Yes! Great choice.
How many times have you seen Edward yangs a brighter summer day and Yi Yi
I have seen both films many times now. Maybe too many times to keep track.
Daisuke Beppu I have seen Yi Yi 3 times
Drive!
Tirez sur le pianiste!
Harvey!
and..
Dawn of the Dead!!!
..and, most certainly,
The General
Great choice!!
Requiem for a Dream, A Clockwork Orange
Excellent!
For me, David Suchet is Hercule Poirot.
Excellent choice! Are you a Christie fan as well? If so, do you have any favorite Suchet adaptations? I really love Five Little Pigs. But I also love his version of the ABC Murders. As for the TV series, I remember I was living in the UK at the time that the series debuted. I remember that my friends and I were so excited that day, and it was a great time. I recall that the episode was the Adventure of the Clapham Cook. And I was hooked.
I admit that I am a bit lukewarm on some of the latter Suchet adaptations, such as the Murder on the Orient Express adaptation with Jessica Chastain, and when his Poirot became very religious. However, I was so happy with the adaptation of Curtain: Poirot's Last Case, and it was so lovely to see Poirot and Captain Hastings together again, one last time.
Have you seen the Kenneth Branagh Murder on the Orient Express? I have seen it only once, and while I didn't hate Branagh as Poirot, I think I need another film or two before I can make a judgment about his Poirot. I admit that I thought the film was OK, but I prefer the Lumet version.
I'm a huge Christie fan. This includes all the Miss Marple material. Five Little Pigs is from The Definitive Collection and is excellent. I also like Sad Cypress and Cards On The Table. The ABC Murders is excellent. It is of course from The Movie Collection. A part of the appeal of the Poirot Classic Collection is Poirot with Hastings and Chief Inspector Japp. I've not seen the Branagh Murder On The Orient Express.
