Sky Captain is one of those movies that's in regular "I just want to be entertained" rotation in my house. I love just about everything about it, the music, the comic book sci-fi, the radioland style of characters, even the art deco style. Another great forgotten one is Titan A. E.
Sky Captain was taken from a comic book mini series I think it was like 6 comic books. I have them somewhere. It was called something else I just don't remember. The move "They live" was taken from a comic book anthology "Alien Encounters" It was a short story within one of the comic books. All from the 80s.
I love Sky Captain. I wish it had gotten more attention. The whole movie is beautifully done and a work of art. The anachronistic esthetic, art deco styling, wardrobe, coloration, it all works. On the other hand, I cannot say I remember much about the story.
Proud owner of the 'Sky Captain' DVD!!! It truly is a misunderstood masterpiece. Innovative and nostalgic, the public just wasn't ready for it because the general moviegoing public lacks imagination and a childhood sense of wonder. No one ever 'lets themselves go' at the movies and just get lost in the fantasy anymore. Cowboys & Aliens was also a GREAT film, as was 'Oz, The Great And Powerful'. Again, cases of no one wanting to 'get lost' in the experience. And ALL of Martin Scorsese's movies are instantly forgettable.
i agree completely, i've watched it a few times over the years... maybe if it had been marketed properly, so people knew it was NOT a comedy, it would have done better.
Cowboys & Aliens is one of my favourite movies. I've watched it repeatedly and watched it with my dad before he passed away. He thought it was awesome too.
Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. I still remember going to see that movie in 2005. It was a very ambitious film with elements of the classic Fleischer Superman serials
It's a masterpiece, and easily one of my favorite films of all time. Another fact that makes it stand out is that it was Scorseses first (and only?) film shot in 3D. And wow, was that a visual treat. It really drove home the potential of 3D as a story-telling device when not just used as a cheap gimmick, but handled by one of the greatest directors of all time.
I don't know what happened to Super 8. That was an excellent movie that I still watch again when I see it playing. But I think I'm the only one in my circle who thinks so.
Hugo, The Artist, and Sky Captain I'll never forget and I consider materpieces. I guess it was the asthetics or nostalgia factor of the 20's and 30's. I used to drink away wathching these in 2012.
The problem with the Pirates movies is people wanted to see Will Turner freed from the role of Davy Jones, so he could live with his wife and son. That’s the story everyone wanted to see.
Hugely honorable mention for “The Triplets of Belleville.” I legit remember as a kid, it was briefly the absolute talk of the town during Oscars season, because of how friggen weird it was and the lack of dialogue. And then Wall-E did something similar 5 years later, and everyone completely forgot about Belleville by then. I remember curiously checking it out when it started showing on Starz when I was 11 or 12. I was so confused, but mesmerized. I wasn’t especially into artsy movies at that point, but there was just something so special about it. But legit anyone I ask, even my friends from France or Canada, have zero recollection of the film. It’s such a shame, because it’s such a genuinely awesome work of art.
@@TheVassal lol yeah that’s fair. But I still distinctly remember it getting tons of attention during that Oscar season. I guess cuz there really wasn’t anything else quite like it at the time.
My dad had me watch that a little bit back when I was younger….now that I look back at it, it’s got great animation and the style is very unique to other films.
Loved "Cowboys & Aliens," "The Artist," and "Sky Captain & the World of Tomorrow." Especially that last one. It is a PERFECT homage to those grand adventure serials of the olden days, every single detail of every single scene curated with love and care.
Bohemian Rhapsody (2018) was a huge box office success which won several oscars, yet pretty much no one remembers the movie now aside from the live aid scene
I have most of these on DVD or BluRay. I have watch parties with my friends regularly. We love Sky Captain, and Cowboys and Aliens was a great scifi take. if a little goofy in parts. Fueling weapons with gold was hilarious, given Harrison's character's preoccupation with hoarding.
I have Super 8, Sky Captain and Cowboys and Aliens. All three are awesome to watch. Fun fact, the scene in sky captain where you see the shadows of the robots flying over the city and landing and their flaps retracting into their arms was taken from a very old superman cartoon short from the 1940s I think.
Sky Captain was a movie that I liked when I saw it in theaters (7/10) and then grew to love when rewatching a couple of times while reviewing the DVD (10/10). Repeated viewings made me realized that not only did it look like a 1930s serial, but was structured like one with cliffhangers every 15-20 minutes like an old serial would have. I reviewed over 300 DVDs in the mid-Aughts for a couple of major sites and Sky Captain was one of only a few movies that got a 10/10 movie score from me. (Sin City was another one, can't recall what else.) And some readers never let me live it down for when I didn't praise some movie they liked enough (because 6/10 is "hating it" to these droogs), some troll would sneer, "He gave Sky Captain a 10 so that proves he knows nothing." Pffft. The Artist was great, won Best Picture, then ceased to exist except on "Worst Oscar Winner" lists somewhere below Crash. Super 8 was two movies: Half wonderful story about kids making a movie; half boring Spielbergian alien plot. You could tell JJ Abrams really felt the kids story more than Spielberg's tired E.T. rehash. Elle Fanning was stunning and the fact she was only 12 years old(!!!) even more amazing, especially in the rehearsal scene.
Cowboys And Aliens was great. I loved the whole cowboys having to learn some tech to fight aliens. Also, seeing an alien movie set in another time period was a refreshing take on an old trope
Avatar should be on the list because of its financial success to cultural relevance ratio. It's fascinating how little impact those films have on pop culture despite their box office intake.
100% agree. me and some mates went to see that when it came out in 3D, got 'lit up' before hand and had a great time tripping out watching it at the time. Haven't seen it since and zero interest in the sequel. Now that i mention that, i have never met any one that has seen Avatar 2
Hugo is a charmingly amazing movie/adventure with a fantasy mood and a magical tone. I loved it! For me it's right up there with Stardust, another overlooked flick with an "otherworldly" aesthetic.
Brendan Frasier's Mummy 1 and 2 were miles better than Cruise's. I would still like to see the "Dark Universe' but let's forget that that Frazier's mummy 3 ever happened and go from there!
Three of my all time favourites are amongst this list, which I have seen several times each. Super 8, Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow and Hugo. They are all quite enthralling, in one way or another. I am so surprised that Super 8 and Sky Captain are amongst these, considering the nostalgia factor of both of them in one way or another, one based on the 70s/80s era, and the other on classic cinema.
If you’re gunna mention The Artist you should probably add Nomadland. That movie won best picture like 5 seconds ago and no one has talked about that movie anymore.
I've seen six of these movies in theaters and remember them all quite well, and I've even got four of them on DVDs to watch them multiple times. Sky Captain is one of my favorite films ever, I've probably watched it six or eight times by now, and there are lots of clever bonus items on the DVD as well.
Yeah, they lost me in what was probably intended as a tongue in cheek reference, when they go through some boxes and find the mechanical owl from the original film. They take one look at it, and then say something along the lines of "what a useless piece of crap" before tossing it into a corner. THAT was the exact moment when I went "F*** off, film!" (to quote the Critical Drinker)
the remake has a better story, but just did not leave a lasting impact. Throwing money and Big Bang Visuals at a movie does not make it better. Plus Harry Hamlin is strikingly handsome, and this other guy could be some dude working at Jiffy Lube..
@@npsavat6799 I remain frustrated that nobody has figured out how to retell any of these ancient Greek tales with modern tech. I refuse to believe that its because the stories themselves are bad.
Oz books have a special place in my heart, so of course I remember the movie. It was much closer to the source material than the Judy Garland film. It was also in the middle of the 3D movie era, and I remember the tornado scene making good use of the trend. I'm eager and nervous about whatever the Wicked film turns out to be.
I remember seeing the Mummy 2017 in theaters when I was using $5 Tuesday movies to cope with depression. I wish the Dark Universe could have worked out, but it just didn't work. Later, I was in a painting class, and the professor asked about it, and I just blurted out it sucks. I saw the disappointment melt across his face because he just bought the DVD and was looking forward to a movie night.
I love The Artist. It appeals to my interest in films from the earlier days of Hollywood. I'm happy that The Artist is now available on TH-cam so that more people can see it.
Young me was very excited for Sky Captain and disappointed when it came out. Watched it a few months ago on Max and it was much better the second go around
“Hugo” was actually the movie that my wife and I saw for our first date. We’re still together more than ten years later, and have the film on blu-ray, but probably haven’t rewatched it in years.
So forgotten it couldn't even be remembered for a list of forgotten movies. Conan the Barbarian 2011 with Jason Momoa. I was with a group of coworkers that claimed to like both Jason Momoa and the Conan films and yet they all drew a blank when I mentioned this movie. So completely forgotten.
This list is almost spot on. O watched all theses movies and cant remember how they starded , endend or even existed. Except for Hugo Cabret, wich is unforgetable for me.
God, I fucking loved Super 8, I've been remembering it at random but I could never remember the name so thanks for telling me so I can find it to watch it
I honestly think Sky Captain has always been a massively underappreciated and beautifully unique gem of a movie. Yes it's very silly but that's just part of what it's going for and personally I'm glad it exists just for how unique it is. It's just such an anomaly of a film and I love that!
Cowboys and Aliens, Pirates, Clash of the Titans (both versions), Sky Captain and The Mummy are all in my Blu-ray library. I love watching these movies.
I have never forgotten 'Sky Captain And The World Of Tomorrow', or 'Hugo', or 'Super 8'. They are all movies that grabbed me - they all contain something in short supply nowadays - imagination. That, and the ability to tell a good story. It's not difficult.
I remember watching Super 8. It wasn't bad, and it did have some of that Spielberg flair, but for me it didn't have the magic of ET or Close Encounters, which is kind of what I was looking for.
Of all the movies you "discuss" in this video, "Sky Captain And The World Of Tomorrow" is a particular favorite. It has some really fun situations and effects, and the three lead actors all provide outstanding performances, though I will admit Jude Law seems to be somewhat bored and distracted for most of the movie. Gweneth Paltrow and especially Angelina Jolie are both stellar, and the supporting cast does very admirable work.
Dude, remember Captain Sky is to be alone. See that movie on the thumb just putt a smile on my face. Such a cool and stylish movie. I remember the whole list (that's probably not a good thing), but Captain Sky is the criminally underrated of those ones.
SKY CAPTAIN AND THE WORLD OF TOMORROW was a textbook example of how not to make a CGI-heavy movie: The leads were equally unsympathetic, the Flying Legion gets wiped out the first half hour, and the plot trips over its own twists. I really wanted to love this movie, too, because Thirties retro-futurism is utterly my jam....
The remark on Pirates of the Caribbeans sequels is spot on: I often find myself confused if they are one movie or more, or recall what was it about in spite of the great actors
"Super 8," and "Oz the Great and Powerful" are among the movies we watch when we want a movie night. "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow" reminded me of "The Rocketeer" (an oldie for a list like this) for no good reason. I liked "Hugo," though I do not believe we own it so it is not our list of rotated movies. Otherwise a good list.
IMO the reason "Hugo" flopped (and so few people remember it) is because it's two films squashed into one. You find yourself watching a magical-realism child steampunk adventure film, and then suddenly you're in a homage to Georges Méliès. There's nothing wrong with either type of film, but ffs choose a lane, Marty. And it didn't help that Sacha Baron Cohen's character seemed to have dropped in from yet a third film (specifically a 70's era "Pink Panther" movie). Despite it's quality acting (for the most part), set design, costumes, and of course directing, it was the script that sunk Hugo, IMO.
Sky Captain just so unique even to this days. Aestetic of it so well done. And not just style, but cameramoviement, angles. Its just insane work for debut movie. So sad that Conran didnt make second movie.
Great list - I've seen most of these and own many of them - your commentary was spot on - I'm absolutely all about movies and rarely watch television. One thing I've noticed when talking about movies and mentioning Super 8, everyone says "you mean the Nicholas Cage snuff film" - though it was made a decade earlier, in conversations with all but the most devout movie buffs, it's interesting people remember 8mm even if nothing more than the title but don't know Super 8. I loved Super 8 personally. I always enjoy your commentary on the WhatCulture channel.
Identity Secret Window Detroit Red Eye Shutter Island Dominion: Prequel to the Exorcist The Gift The Machinist All great underrated films that should have received more attention upon release.
Scorsese's directed 26 movies. Only 6 of which were stone cold classics. Raging Bull, Taxi Driver, Goodfellas, Mean Streets, Casino and The King of Comedy. Some of the rest were pretty good, some were awful. Here's a challenge - find someone who claims to be a film buff or movie lover - that has also watched Marty's - "I'm staring death in the face and want to go to heaven" - Penance, 'Silence' all the way through... (people in the business or paid to watch or comment don't count)
I saw The Artist in theaters and I loved it! It was a great homage to the classic movies, but that dog Uggie was also memorable. A movie that I would add to this list is Nine because the previews made it look like a complete musical with a star studded cast. Although the musical numbers were great, it was the in-between scenes that were so boring that I fell asleep during them, and no one remembers this movie anyway
"Annie Hall", the movie that beat out the original Star Wars and "Close Encounters" is literally forgotten in most circles. I haven't heard anyone make any references to it in decades. Even the largely forgotten "Encounters" comes up an order of magnitude more frequently than does Annie.
Most of the films in your list is the reason I don't go to the Cinema to watch anything these days, Cowboys and Aliens excepted. One of the best films I've watched in decades.
Fun fact. Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow is a Superman movie Jude Law plays the mysterious flying hero. His love interest is a reporter and his other love interest is a warrior/ruler. Also the massive robots stealing the generators are directly based off the 1950s Superman cartoon episode. Although they were stealing money and jewelry

Cowboys and Aliens, Pirates, Clash of the Titans (both versions), Sky Captain and The Mummy are all in my Blu-ray library. I love watching these movies.
I have never forgotten 'Sky Captain And The World Of Tomorrow', or 'Hugo', or 'Super 8'. They are all movies that grabbed me - they all contain something in short supply nowadays - imagination. That, and the ability to tell a good story. It's not difficult.
i remember going to see the artist when it came out and it was *such* a crowd pleaser.
The dog 🐕🦺
@@lealmelisa loved that dog
I actually liked Super 8, The Artist, and Hugo. I'm sure I'll rewatch them at some point. All enjoyable movies for sure.
I'm going to disagree with you here. Sky Captain ABSOLUTELY changed the way films were made going forward.
"10 huge movies that were instantly forgotten" then lists 10 movies that are remembered for one reason or another, for better or for or worse.
It's almost as if the list is subjective.
@@sweiland75or as if the list is complete trash and bulshit.
Wait it's a what culture vid?
That makes sense
@@adriansennett2861 just like Arizona in 1864
@@w1-em4nq Sorry don't know much american history.
@@adriansennett2861so - why do you watch it...?
I remember watching Super 8. It wasn't bad, and it did have some of that Spielberg flair, but for me it didn't have the magic of ET or Close Encounters, which is kind of what I was looking for.
Cowboys and Aliens, Sky Captain, and Hugo - 3 excellent entertaining films which are always re-watchable. Fine films.
Sky Captain remains on my favorite movies list. It is a remarkable achievement in filmmaking.
Hugo is one of my favourite Scorcesse films.
The retreations of the Meiles's films being made was exceptional...
Some of this commentary is like, "You'd never expect a Steven Baldwin helmed Fictional Biopic to be forgotten so soon..."
Of all the movies you "discuss" in this video, "Sky Captain And The World Of Tomorrow" is a particular favorite. It has some really fun situations and effects, and the three lead actors all provide outstanding performances, though I will admit Jude Law seems to be somewhat bored and distracted for most of the movie. Gweneth Paltrow and especially Angelina Jolie are both stellar, and the supporting cast does very admirable work.
I'd LIKE the world to forget Clash of the Titans, but it's on basic cable on a weekly basis.
Dude, remember Captain Sky is to be alone. See that movie on the thumb just putt a smile on my face. Such a cool and stylish movie. I remember the whole list (that's probably not a good thing), but Captain Sky is the criminally underrated of those ones.
SKY CAPTAIN AND THE WORLD OF TOMORROW was a textbook example of how not to make a CGI-heavy movie: The leads were equally unsympathetic, the Flying Legion gets wiped out the first half hour, and the plot trips over its own twists.
I really wanted to love this movie, too, because Thirties retro-futurism is utterly my jam....
I liked many of these movies. Some like Cowboys & Aliens are among my favorites. I don’t think they’re genuinely forgotten movies.
*"SKY CAPTAIN! CALLING SKY CAPTAIN!"*
The remark on Pirates of the Caribbeans sequels is spot on: I often find myself confused if they are one movie or more, or recall what was it about in spite of the great actors
Amazing video what culture, fantastic job and I like some of those movies.
I'm gonna have to dig my "Sky-Captain" out and watch it again!
(we went to see the Mummy [2017], there wasn't many in there!)
🤔
The Artist and Sky Captain are two of my favourite movies.
"Super 8," and "Oz the Great and Powerful" are among the movies we watch when we want a movie night. "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow" reminded me of "The Rocketeer" (an oldie for a list like this) for no good reason. I liked "Hugo," though I do not believe we own it so it is not our list of rotated movies. Otherwise a good list.
Super 8 and Hugo are favorite films of mine.
IMO the reason "Hugo" flopped (and so few people remember it) is because it's two films squashed into one. You find yourself watching a magical-realism child steampunk adventure film, and then suddenly you're in a homage to Georges Méliès. There's nothing wrong with either type of film, but ffs choose a lane, Marty. And it didn't help that Sacha Baron Cohen's character seemed to have dropped in from yet a third film (specifically a 70's era "Pink Panther" movie).
Despite it's quality acting (for the most part), set design, costumes, and of course directing, it was the script that sunk Hugo, IMO.
Hugo is actually a really great movie! Had to watch it for a class and I was presently surprised!
Hugo is forgotten? It's so good I can't imagine people forget it
oh my. I was wondering what the heck Faraway Downs was. They should say that on the thumbnails lol
Sky Captain was an amazing movie that like it seems 90% of the world either forgot exists or never knew existed.
Sky Captain just so unique even to this days. Aestetic of it so well done. And not just style, but cameramoviement, angles. Its just insane work for debut movie.
So sad that Conran didnt make second movie.
Great list - I've seen most of these and own many of them - your commentary was spot on - I'm absolutely all about movies and rarely watch television. One thing I've noticed when talking about movies and mentioning Super 8, everyone says "you mean the Nicholas Cage snuff film" - though it was made a decade earlier, in conversations with all but the most devout movie buffs, it's interesting people remember 8mm even if nothing more than the title but don't know Super 8. I loved Super 8 personally. I always enjoy your commentary on the WhatCulture channel.

All great underrated films that should have received more attention upon release.
Scorsese's directed 26 movies. Only 6 of which were stone cold classics. Raging Bull, Taxi Driver, Goodfellas, Mean Streets, Casino and The King of Comedy.
Some of the rest were pretty good, some were awful.
Here's a challenge - find someone who claims to be a film buff or movie lover - that has also watched Marty's - "I'm staring death in the face and want to go to heaven" - Penance, 'Silence' all the way through... (people in the business or paid to watch or comment don't count)
I saw The Artist in theaters and I loved it! It was a great homage to the classic movies, but that dog Uggie was also memorable.
A movie that I would add to this list is Nine because the previews made it look like a complete musical with a star studded cast. Although the musical numbers were great, it was the in-between scenes that were so boring that I fell asleep during them, and no one remembers this movie anyway
Speak for yourself. I definitely remember and still love Super 8, The Artist, Cowboys and Aliens, and especially Sky Captain.
Hugo is a beautiful movie. As you said it is all about timing.
"Hugo" is a lovely movie, so sad that it's forgotten.
I watched Oz the Great and powerful for the first time with my kids. I didn't think it was bad at all.
I didn't remember most of these, but I LOVED Super 8
Incredible, I really forgot all these movies. And that's usually not an easy thing to happen!
"Annie Hall", the movie that beat out the original Star Wars and "Close Encounters" is literally forgotten in most circles. I haven't heard anyone make any references to it in decades. Even the largely forgotten "Encounters" comes up an order of magnitude more frequently than does Annie.
Most of the films in your list is the reason I don't go to the Cinema to watch anything these days, Cowboys and Aliens excepted. One of the best films I've watched in decades.
Ironic that Hugo, a great film about a great filmmaker who’s works are mostly lost and forgotten, has pretty much become forgotten.
Fun fact. Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow is a Superman movie Jude Law plays the mysterious flying hero. His love interest is a reporter and his other love interest is a warrior/ruler. Also the massive robots stealing the generators are directly based off the 1950s Superman cartoon episode. Although they were stealing money and jewelry
