I agree, but to be fair sometimes it's just that the movie version looks cooler. There have been many a time where I have seen the real version and the movie version and thought "wow the movie version is cooler"😂
@@darkmyroExactly. These types of films are meant to be entertaining, not educational. Go read a book or watch a documentary if you’re the type to get anal about attention to historical detail and preserving a sense of authenticity. Me? Make it flashy and badass, please.
What I love about "Really That Good", G.E.M.s and now That Movies Exists is the background and film making story that you include. It shows that a film is more than what is on the screen, more than actors and directors worked on it, and you can learn as much about a film by when it was made and vise versa.
When you mentioned the "background" for a second I thought you meant the sparkly out of focus background loop under these videos. I like the sparkles as well
"You're not my husband" Lifts up a sword. "This is my husband!" Proceeds to swing a giant sword at Richard. 10/10 moment! Love it! Now I want to see this movie!
Waves the sword around: "This is my husband, this is what I married!" "You're being ridiculous!" Points the sword at him: "My husband will protect me!" Well played ma'am, well played.
I'm sure the numbers will tell the story more than praise-filled comments, unfortunately, but for what it's worth, you are absolutely in your element making cozy, humorous, low-stakes mini-documentaries about films and film history, and it's always a joy to watch.
Ok, I watched the Snow White one first, the immediately clicked on this. This is fantastic. Cecil B Demille being like “shit that’s fantastic” with the sword cracked me up
This is going to be a great series, based on this one episode alone (which was not in my notifications despite being set to "All" even though the other two were, if that's of any use in fine-tuning things behind the curtain). A few thoughts: 1. The protagonists are Richard and Berengaria are the protagonists, yet somehow Saladin is the hero. That's a cool dynamic. 2. "I know the feel of a lance in my hand. I know what it is to see men go down before me." Context is absolutely necessary for that line . . . 3. "You are no longer the wife of the Lion King." Hence opening the way to Nala becoming the new queen . . .
Second comment. This was actually really, REALLY good. I'm 39 years old and never saw this movie, so learning how foundational it was to virtually everything we enjoy now is very satisfying. Great work, and I would love more stuff in this vein.
I realized while watching that so much of what Monty Python was parodying was stuff like this. Also it's fitting that so much of this is parodied in Robin Hood Men in Tights given the involvement of the Crusades in the classic Robin Hood story.
I'll say this was the best one of the 3 videos you released, due to a combination of the History behind the film, DeMille himself, the production, the way they portrayed Muslims and Saladin, etc. Great job, great job.
2/3rds in to the premier week and so far this is what I hoped for out of “this movie exists”: context, why this is interesting, why this is relates to other films, how this relates to now. Might even say these have exceeded expectations.
I almost never comment on videos, but this one really rips, Bob. Of the 3 pilot episodes, I found this one far and away the most interesting and engaging... Especially as it's the only film that seemed to have resonance that echoes forward into modern films. Cool stuff!
Im glad this was linked in the other videos because it didnt show up in my notifications. Its amazing how many shots of Helms Deep are reminiscent of this movie.
De Mille, Howard Hawks, and Busby Berkeley are probably the directors where I’m the worst offender of making references to them without having actually seen more than 60 minutes of their work.
One of my favorite aspects of your Schlocktober series was how you go in depth on movies I've never heard of, with solid analysis and a good touch of humor. I'm loving that direction for This Movie Exists and can't wait to watch more of these.
2:44 I'd like to hear more about "Madam Satan", please. 9:14 "You've got to EMOTE , dammit!" 22:02 And his sigil is a snake. Subtle, de Mille. 22:58 Funny thing about that: The real Saladin besieged the fortress of the REAL Assassins, who warned him to buzz off or they'll kill him, and he chose to parley with them. OK, I need to watch this whole movie ASAP. I'm positive TCM will play it eventually. Pretty, uh, progressive (for lack of a better word) to show Richard with flaws to overcome and Saladin as both honorable and sensible. Congrats on the new show, Bob! A fascinating look at Hollywood history and its inner-politics. Looking forward to more.
This really feels like a good In Bob We Trust episode from way back when, just focused on the one movie. This is a good thing and a compliment - it wasn't just entertaining, but informative in a historical sense!
@@chrislorusso433 And remember, friends, that's just ONE movie. There were plenty more fictional dead bodies De Mille stacked up like cordwood in his other films.
I love learning about half-forgotten masterpieces like this that still reverberate today. This episode is packed full of delightful gems. Though I loved them all, this is my favorite of the three pilots for sure.
I just realized the "3 pilot episodes of a variety of topics, thumbnail styles, and appeals" is exactly what Game/Film/Food/Style theory do for their launches. Neat how you were able to make use of that knowledgebase they built up over there
It's amazing sometimes looking at old movies like this that aren't great at times, but are surprisingly forward thinking, and clearly influenced works that were improvements on the same material.
I really enjoyed this! Both the format and the subject matter. (I haven't seen the other two pilots yet.) Diving into the Golden Age of Hollywood is always a treat for me, so this is exactly the type of thing I'd like to see more of.
"That's what people could do back then, or at least we think that's what people could do back then" That one topic in movies with historical backgrounds could be a series on its own. The difficulty is that you need not just someone will to watch old cinema, you need someone with historical background, and putting it all together. On top of all the usual difficulties of video production. Like these 3x pilots. More please.
Note for your thumbnails, keep in mind youtube throws timestamps onto the bottom right corner of the video, so any important text there gets covered up. Of the three videos you aired today, this was definitely my favorite and the most interesting. The deep dives alll the way back into Hollywood and good movies aren't covered much, meanwhile animated things that came out in the 90's have all been covered by Nostalgia Critic and the like at length.
22:12 And he did that again with 10 Commandments. Awesome! Finally watched this today. really good movie. Great melodrama, sweeping scope,cool action and it really sets the stage for historical fantasy movies today. I need to see more from this series.
This was a really damn interesting video and I've decided to like it because my Notifications didn't show it and I don't want it to get buried. I love my Golden Era Hollywood History content.
This one is my favorite of the three because it seems like you liked it the most and had the most enthusiasm in reviewing it. It reminded me of the G.E.M. Good Enough Movies series of vids.
I'm liking the new format. One thing I've always appreciated about Moviebob content is the variety. Every week is something different, which has kept it fresh for me for like 15 years. And just personally, the film/media history episodes are some of my favorites. I have rewatched the wonder woman 3-parter probably a dozen times. This new format seems well suited to that kind of episode.
Personally this is the best of the three episodes you released for this new series. I think part of it was because there seemed a much more positive attitude towards this one in how it was presented. I really liked how you pointed out things that are still being done today that started with this movie. To me that was the best part of this.
Aforementioned gen Z audience here and I have to say: My favorite video I’ve seen from this channel. And that is not low bar. Now I finally know what my Grandma was talking about when she said “I’m ready for my closeup Mr. Demille”
It's really nice being able to see the full context and history of movies like this where me and my xelenial sensibilities might miss a lot of cool or interesting things that I wouldn't know to look for. Make's this stuff a lot more fun!
I’ve watched all three of your pilots, and loved each of them! If I could only choose one genre, it’d be this one. Not enough people talking about the history of film from this perspective, and I love it.
One of the things I love about bob's reviews or essays is the history and background he puts in. I've known about DeMille, and have seen his pictures but never knew about a lot of his own background.
For what it's worth, I'd put my vote in for more stuff like this. Doesn't have to be 80+ years old content, but something that describes the evolution of cinema instead of "let's look at the bad movie" which the other two choices amount to.
My 11 year old son had to read "The Talisman" by Sir Walter Scott in school. He struggled with the difficult prose, so I drew a graphic novel to help him understand chapter by chapter. He liked it, so I tried to find a movie to celebrate finishing that book. I found this movie. Oddly enough my comic Berengaria looked a lot like Loretta Young!
What a great New Series, Bob! I wonder if you could do an episode on Thomas Ince? I'd heard that he cast POC actors in his silent films, unlike contemporary directors like DW Griffith. And he died mysteriously on William Randolph Hearst's yacht? Looking forward to the next installment.
I'm 2/3rds through these and saving the animated one for last to watch woth friends. This is everything I've loved from your longer form stuff. I want to see more going forward.
I don't usually comment ever, but I'm going to comment here and on the other two "This Movie Exists" vids because I REALLY LOVE Learning about movies I had no idea existed. For years now I kept thinking to myself "I wish Movie Bob did more vids like the Schlocktober stuff." I really hope this new direction is very successful because I for one want more.
I was not expecting to like this nearly as much as I did. It's not just presented well, it's an interesting topic I would never have thought to look into and that no one in my media circle was telling me about. I think you've hit a homerun with this series, Bob.
So the other two were undeniably interesting to learn about, but this movie I actually wanna check out after watching this video. Can't speak for anyone else of course, but I for one would love to see more videos like this one specifically. Side bar, but please don't stop making Really That Good. I don't mind if it's only one a year or something, I get they're not east to make, but so long as it continues I'll be content.
OK. I've watched all three This Exists movies and this one is the one I personally found most interesting, and it looks like the full movie is available for free on youtube, so that's neat. I'mma go do that for the next two hours. :D I like the show. It feels like a riff on Shlocktober, but as a guy who's not into horror/gore those were always just interesting notes, not movies I'd ever look up and watch. Classic gems that I just don't know about because they were made 50 years before I was born on the other hand...
I've watched all three now, and yeah - basically I love all your longer form deep dives into various films, their histories, productions and where they fit in the overall cultural canon of cinema. Be they really that good, good enough or just that they exist, I'm here for it!
Okay, of the three initial offerings, this one was my favourite. I'm a sucker for interesting Hollywood history - which is why the _Snow White_ one was my #2, even if Filmation isn't quite as high on my interest scale as DeMille.
I'm going to like this series, I can tell. One of my favorite things about Bob's videos is the amount of work he clearly puts into research in service of contextualizing his subjects both forward and backward in time. Love it!
So, I get a new show where Movie Bob gets to flex the extents of his movie knowledge and show off forgotten parts of film history? Sign me up.
"The stuff this movie gets wrong about medieval combat we're still getting wrong today." Preach brother.
I agree, but to be fair sometimes it's just that the movie version looks cooler. There have been many a time where I have seen the real version and the movie version and thought "wow the movie version is cooler"😂
@@darkmyroExactly. These types of films are meant to be entertaining, not educational. Go read a book or watch a documentary if you’re the type to get anal about attention to historical detail and preserving a sense of authenticity.
Me? Make it flashy and badass, please.
What I love about "Really That Good", G.E.M.s and now That Movies Exists is the background and film making story that you include. It shows that a film is more than what is on the screen, more than actors and directors worked on it, and you can learn as much about a film by when it was made and vise versa.
I have to agree with this, putting the film into the proper context makes all the difference.
Gotta agree with this! The historical context really make these videos!
I think that’s also a good way to bridge the gap if you’re not used to older movies and their quirks.
Same. That background information is what has always brought me back to Bob.
When you mentioned the "background" for a second I thought you meant the sparkly out of focus background loop under these videos. I like the sparkles as well
Damn, who would’ve guessed Cecil b. Demille’s Crusades movie would include a call for tolerance, like damn
"You're not my husband" Lifts up a sword. "This is my husband!" Proceeds to swing a giant sword at Richard.
10/10 moment! Love it! Now I want to see this movie!
Followed by "My husband will protect me!" was just top tier.
So much for "wielded by my arm and no other", huh? 😂
This scene is the best thing ever. Wonderful. Beautiful. I love it.
I want to marry a sword too.
#GiveBerengariaASword
Waves the sword around: "This is my husband, this is what I married!"
"You're being ridiculous!"
Points the sword at him: "My husband will protect me!"
Well played ma'am, well played.
So you're telling me that Cecil B Demille not only made a better Moses movie than Ridley Scott did, but a better Crusades movie too? ;)
Directors cut of Kingdom of Heaven kinda slaps. I cannot forgive Exodus though
"There is room in Asia to bury all of you." Okay, lines that go hard, hot damn. XD
no need to bury them after that burn
"never get involved in a land war in Asia"
I'm sure the numbers will tell the story more than praise-filled comments, unfortunately, but for what it's worth, you are absolutely in your element making cozy, humorous, low-stakes mini-documentaries about films and film history, and it's always a joy to watch.
👍👍
I wholeheartedly agree
Ok, I watched the Snow White one first, the immediately clicked on this. This is fantastic. Cecil B Demille being like “shit that’s fantastic” with the sword cracked me up
12:48 Oh Richard certainly knows the feeling of a lance in his hand and what it is to see men go down before him, alright. (Inevitable.)
And he had a taste for blondes...or rather Blondel.
As soon as I heard that line, I laughed and said “Phrasing!”
@@johnathonhaney8291 Well not just a Bard but a French Bard at that? He never stood a chance.
There's a reason why he had no heir...
@@arubinojr5670 Indeed...but can you blame him? French was the only language he knew (no joke, he never knew English).
This is going to be a great series, based on this one episode alone (which was not in my notifications despite being set to "All" even though the other two were, if that's of any use in fine-tuning things behind the curtain). A few thoughts:

That surprise "Oh you know this actor from a movie from the 80's." was a literal jaw drop for me.. Nice work on this one Bob!!
Algorithm, ALGORITHM
More movies from the 70s and farther need to be talked about.
And how!
I realized while watching that so much of what Monty Python was parodying was stuff like this. Also it's fitting that so much of this is parodied in Robin Hood Men in Tights given the involvement of the Crusades in the classic Robin Hood story.
Yep, I'm sold on this format. This is absolutely the kind of old film lore deep dive I look for. Keep it up.
Always a fan of a new Moviebob series. I loved G.E.M.s. I learned about a couple of flicks i genuinely love now.
I'll say this was the best one of the 3 videos you released, due to a combination of the History behind the film, DeMille himself, the production, the way they portrayed Muslims and Saladin, etc.
Great job, great job.
22:54 that look on his face is priceless.
“ oh shit, I was positive that you were going to say yes to that. Ummm…”
There’s this thing I like to say.
“Respect the Classics. You don’t have to like them, but you do have to respect them.”
2/3rds in to the premier week and so far this is what I hoped for out of “this movie exists”: context, why this is interesting, why this is relates to other films, how this relates to now. Might even say these have exceeded expectations.
I almost never comment on videos, but this one really rips, Bob.
Of the 3 pilot episodes, I found this one far and away the most interesting and engaging... Especially as it's the only film that seemed to have resonance that echoes forward into modern films. Cool stuff!
Not only am I glad you reminded me this film exists and how fun this is, I’m also thrilled you referenced Sabaton!
Im glad this was linked in the other videos because it didnt show up in my notifications.
Its amazing how many shots of Helms Deep are reminiscent of this movie.
Love this new direction Bob. Learning about old movies and the stories behind them is a lot of fun!
Commenting for the algorithm, love these first three videos, hope they do well!
Yup, three for three, all of these make me glad to know those movies existed and ONE of them I wanna track down and watch now! Keep these up, Bob!
Cripes, man, I am loving 'This Movie Exists' series. It's taking a second for me to watch these first three, but this is great. Love it.
I remember seeing this movie as a kid, but I do NOT remember it sounding so awesome. Thank you, Bob. I'm on my way to find it now.
Oh my god this movie fucking rules. Thank you for showing me this, Bob.
De Mille, Howard Hawks, and Busby Berkeley are probably the directors where I’m the worst offender of making references to them without having actually seen more than 60 minutes of their work.
Hawks' _The Big Sleep_ is a legitimate classic, highly recommended.
@@digitaljanus Nice. I've heard of it, I'll check it out.
Berengaria: You can save him, Saladin!
Me: ...Yeah, I think he's got this, you can just chill, Saladin.
One of my favorite aspects of your Schlocktober series was how you go in depth on movies I've never heard of, with solid analysis and a good touch of humor. I'm loving that direction for This Movie Exists and can't wait to watch more of these.

Yeah, I'm here for Bob to do a deep dive on all of DeMille's movies if he wants.
This really feels like a good In Bob We Trust episode from way back when, just focused on the one movie. This is a good thing and a compliment - it wasn't just entertaining, but informative in a historical sense!
I know Mr. DeVille from Blazing Saddles.
“I must’ve killed more men than Cecil B DeVille.”
And after seeing the shot of the flaming oil being poured on the guys climbing the ladder, I now know what the line really means.
@@chrislorusso433 And remember, friends, that's just ONE movie. There were plenty more fictional dead bodies De Mille stacked up like cordwood in his other films.

Watched all three videos. Enjoyed all three videos. This one is probably my favorite, though.
Here as requested, Bob. Looking forward to the new format and some views on much older content.

I think I got about 5 ad breaks at least while watching this but it's FASCINATING hearing the history encapsulated in this one movie
"That's what people could do back then, or at least we think that's what people could do back then"
That one topic in movies with historical backgrounds could be a series on its own. The difficulty is that you need not just someone will to watch old cinema, you need someone with historical background, and putting it all together. On top of all the usual difficulties of video production.
Like these 3x pilots. More please.
This series is more informative and entertaining than the "History of Motion Picture" class I took in college. Cheers!

Love the extra trivia, can't think of any other film TH-camr who does it this well.
Commenting to help boost this, Bob, but also: holy shit, this movie seems actually rad.
I liked all three, Bob! But I think this one came out the best.
This one is my favorite of the three because it seems like you liked it the most and had the most enthusiasm in reviewing it. It reminded me of the G.E.M. Good Enough Movies series of vids.

I like this format, feels like an expansion of the schlocktober to cover more genres
YES this is exactly the vibe I was getting.
“It’s your cousin, Marvin Sabaton….”
Heh. Bob knows the audience.
Personally this is the best of the three episodes you released for this new series. I think part of it was because there seemed a much more positive attitude towards this one in how it was presented. I really liked how you pointed out things that are still being done today that started with this movie. To me that was the best part of this.
Great memories of watching this on Sunday mornings with my gran.
Great movie.
Love your variety. Go BOB!
Safe topics for TH-cam = Bob running in the opposite direction
This is why your channel rocks, Bob
You are always doing something different
I’d say “this movie exists” was a successful launch. Liked all three choices. Hope to see more soon
Loving all of the new stuff!
Aforementioned gen Z audience here and I have to say: My favorite video I’ve seen from this channel. And that is not low bar. Now I finally know what my Grandma was talking about when she said “I’m ready for my closeup Mr. Demille”
I love the historical context. Each one of these feels like a history lesson about a very specific era or niche movement in cinema.
It's really nice being able to see the full context and history of movies like this where me and my xelenial sensibilities might miss a lot of cool or interesting things that I wouldn't know to look for. Make's this stuff a lot more fun!
Really solid foundation for a film history series, Bob.
Great stuff!
I’ve watched all three of your pilots, and loved each of them! If I could only choose one genre, it’d be this one. Not enough people talking about the history of film from this perspective, and I love it.
Watched and enjoyed all 3 "This Movie Exists". This one was my favorite of the 3.
Good luck Bob with this new series. I've watched two now and saving Ginger for last!
One of the things I love about bob's reviews or essays is the history and background he puts in. I've known about DeMille, and have seen his pictures but never knew about a lot of his own background.
Of the three films in your pilot day, this looks to be the most awesome and worth tracking down.
That was one of my favorite Caddyshack scenes! The music even sounds like a Cecil B. DeMille film...LOL
For what it's worth, I'd put my vote in for more stuff like this. Doesn't have to be 80+ years old content, but something that describes the evolution of cinema instead of "let's look at the bad movie" which the other two choices amount to.
Loved it. You don’t get much stuff about this era of Hollywood on here. Bravo.

This is everything I've loved from your longer form stuff. I want to see more going forward.
Excellent work Bob, really enjoyed this one.
I think this is my favorite of the new ones because it really contextualizes why movies are the way they are today.
I don't usually comment ever, but I'm going to comment here and on the other two "This Movie Exists" vids because I REALLY LOVE Learning about movies I had no idea existed. For years now I kept thinking to myself "I wish Movie Bob did more vids like the Schlocktober stuff." I really hope this new direction is very successful because I for one want more.

Still one of my favorite channels on TH-cam. Very few creators know as much about movies as Bob, and even fewer put as much work into their videos.
Two episodes into this new series, and I'm already learning so much about film that I'm so glad to know. Definitely keep this new show going!
Cecil B. DeMille's films are masterclasses and I'm glad to see you looking at eras of film history many others ignore.
I'm really enjoying this new series.
All three are great, but this is my favourite. 10/10; a phenomenal return to form.
Great work Bobby.
So the other two were undeniably interesting to learn about, but this movie I actually wanna check out after watching this video. Can't speak for anyone else of course, but I for one would love to see more videos like this one specifically.
Side bar, but please don't stop making Really That Good. I don't mind if it's only one a year or something, I get they're not east to make, but so long as it continues I'll be content.
Wow, this was not what I expected for the time frame. Props to the production team, and love the new show.
OK. I've watched all three This Exists movies and this one is the one I personally found most interesting, and it looks like the full movie is available for free on youtube, so that's neat. I'mma go do that for the next two hours. :D
I like the show. It feels like a riff on Shlocktober, but as a guy who's not into horror/gore those were always just interesting notes, not movies I'd ever look up and watch. Classic gems that I just don't know about because they were made 50 years before I was born on the other hand...
Got notifications for all 3, here first and then I'll check out the other two.
The selections for the pilot are quite entertaining, and I can't wait for future episodes!
Heck yeah, Bob. I love the Big Picture and its siblings, so longer content with more detail, in that same style is perfect. Keep 'em coming.
I've watched all three now, and yeah - basically I love all your longer form deep dives into various films, their histories, productions and where they fit in the overall cultural canon of cinema. Be they really that good, good enough or just that they exist, I'm here for it!
I really enjoyed this one. The extra tidbits about the actors, the breakdown, the backstory. Well done, Bob.
Enjoying the new show! I hope you guys do an episode on the 7 Faces of Dr Lao. Now that’s a movie that exists.
7 Faces of Doctor Lao is a favorite, both the book (the Circus of Doctor Lao) and the movie. Would be perfect for TME.
Okay, of the three initial offerings, this one was my favourite. I'm a sucker for interesting Hollywood history - which is why the _Snow White_ one was my #2, even if Filmation isn't quite as high on my interest scale as DeMille.
I'm going to like this series, I can tell. One of my favorite things about Bob's videos is the amount of work he clearly puts into research in service of contextualizing his subjects both forward and backward in time. Love it!
