About Once Upon A Time In America, want to add: [Quote] Leone originally envisaged two three-hour films, then a single 269-minute (4 hours and 29 minutes) version, but was convinced by distributors to shorten it to 229 minutes (3 hours and 49 minutes). The American distributors, The Ladd Company, further shortened it to 139 minutes (2 hours and 19 minutes), and rearranged the scenes into chronological order, without Leone's involvement. The US edit was a critical and commercial flop in the United States, and critics who had seen both versions harshly condemned the changes made. The original "European cut" has remained a critical favourite and frequently appears in lists of the greatest films of all time, especially in the gangster genre. [End Quote] Was lucky enough to first see the 2hr 19min edit as it was first released and was surprised to find only 5-6 people in the theater although it was its first week (Manhattan, NYC, 1984). I really loved even that cut. Later on I got to see the 3hr 49min version and loved it too. Didn't know till now that there is a 4hr 29min "European Version"...Will have to try and find it...
I've seen six of these and have three of them on DVD ("The Fall," "The Long Goodbye," and as of yesterday, "Once Upon a Time in America"). Would love to have them all!
Great choices! Some of these I never heard of, but I always recommend A FACE IN THE CROWD. I’m a huge fan of Andy Griffith. He’s an evil version of Sheriff Taylor. The same, just evil. I will definitely check out your recommendations. Very good job!
I watched this once with my parents. My Mom looked puzzled through much of it before leaving the room. She was disappointed because Andy G. wasn't funny in the way she expected. For me, his performance was a revelation.
I saw five of these on their initial release and another two later, so of course I would agree with your choice! A big warning about "Once Upon a Time in America". I saw it in London in its entirety, but apparently on its initial release in the States, they hacked it about and drastically shortened it to turn a film about memory and loyalty into a conventional gangster movie. James Woods was furious. See it then in its near four hour version as it's fantastic and avoid any truncated versions. I have it on DVD and also "The Fall", and "The Long Goodbye". As recommendations, try Oliver Stone's "Salvador" and Steve Soderberg's "King of the Hill", both excellent movies. BTW "Come and See" is available for free viewing on yt.
Not seen many on your list, so can't comment, but recently rewatched Runaway Train and it absolutely blew me away. The action scenes on the train - as it hurtles through beautiful, snowy scenery - were riveting. As were the performances of John P. Ryan and (believe it or not) Eric Roberts. The final scene is breathtakingly powerful.
I can agree that most of these films are "forgotten" except for Face in the Crowd and Once Upon a Time, both of which remain high on the list of anyone who has a passing knowledge of cinema. They're both high on the lists of film experts. On the other hand, anyone born before 2000 is likely to be unfamiliar with them all, so I can agree with the classification in that respect. Then again, there's a huge body of outstanding film unknown to that generation, and I'd then have to disagree with placing The Fall and Jesse James on the list of "masterpieces" in preference to a whole cavalcade of more deserving contenders.
I see where you're coming from, but I want to keep the lists varied in decades and genres, there will be more lists to come so I can't put all the good ones on the same list.
I have seen only a few of these. Once Upon a Time in America looks grandiose, The Long Goodbye looks fun. I wanted to see Sorcerer years ago and discovered a blu ray edition in a cash exchange shop and didn't hesitate to buy it. It's like Apocalypse Now in scale but too deliberate to be a masterpiece. There is one film that was forgotten by reviewers, film commentaries and the awards bodies, that I think deserves a place on this list, John Pierre Melville's 1969 film Army in the Shadows
Jean deFloret is such a virtue signal pick. there's better movies about the same sort of thing. at least shorter and more rewarding for the time spent.
I just made a video with My dinner with Andre on the list and Jules and Jim instead of Jules! so sorry but it's already in post, ill correct it in the next one. I shouted you out in the video twice though.
Watch it ASAP. It's full of great locations with the beautiest cinematography I've ever seen. Seems like a film for children, but it's a bit dark for that. Maybe that's why it hasn't been turned into a classic.
@Viral360Vibes Please do it! You gonna be dazzeld! Please, pay special attention in "Deep Blue" (huge influence in "Black Swan" movie) and "Tokyo Godfathers". Both are unkown masterpieces
@Viral360Vibes Great! By the way: Im I am a movie buff and your list is REALLY good! Pure movie quality. I just signed you channel. Congratulations for your great work 🙏🙏🙏
Odd list. Mishima is wondrous. As is Wings of Desire [but please destroy the remake!]. But I don’t think they’re lost. The Long Goodbye is also great. But A Face in the Crowd. Sorcerer. Heavens above. And Once Upon a Time in the West is streets ahead of….America.
I've seen most of these, too long ago. Sio I want to re-watch them with old eyes ready to see new things. My only reject is Wings of Desire. I regret wasting too much time seeing that pretentious and preposterous dull thing,
I think Mad Max has made a huge impact and has gotten it's flowers, I'll check out A boy and his dog and The player though, thanks for the reccomendations.
the title is a tag, a hook, TH-cam 101. These films aren't necessarily "forgotten", no. but some people may not go back and watch them especially younger people and some may have never heard of them at all. they may be "popular" to you, but they are not widely celebrated.
That's what I was going to write. Le Salaire de la peur directed by Henri-Georges Clouzot is one of the scariest movies I've ever seen. You should have mentioned that.

1. Once Upon a Time in America
The Black Stallion (1979) should be on this list.
it will be on part 3 actually!
A Face in the Crowd -- extremely relevant today.
agreed, definitely!
Sorcerer was fantastic! One of my favorite films, and also a favorite of Stephen King!
interesting fact, I didn't know that.
saw Mishima when first released. Wings of Desire, too. have both digitally on my laptop. I hold them in the same regard as Prospero's Books, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, and Arrival.
The Fall is a brilliant film! Stunning photography, and so very touching and charming.
yes! criminally under recognized.

I've seen a few of these, the rest are now on my "to watch" list 😉 thanks
you're welcome!
Interesting list . 'Sorcerer' sounds a lot like 'The wages of fear' but I haven't seen either.
Sorcerer is a remake of The Wages of Fear.
Good list, because none of these require a remake!😊
Facts!
I've seen six of these and have three of them on DVD ("The Fall," "The Long Goodbye," and as of yesterday, "Once Upon a Time in America"). Would love to have them all!
Once Upon A Time in America is far from forgotten. Like that you included Sorceror though.
The title is just a good hook, these titles aren't forgotten per se but they all deserve more love and attention.
Can't call films like the Long Goodbye, Come and See, Wings of Desire, and Once Upon a Time, forgotten. These are all standards at rep theaters.
True, the title has to have a good hook though, I'm sure your average viewer has never heard of most of them.
Great list for starting cinephiles!

thank you!
Speaking Parts, The Adjuster, Calendar and Exotica by Atom Egoyan-1989-1994. His best creative period.
thanks for the recommendations!
Excellent list❤.

@@Viral360Vibes Understood. And everyone has different tastes. No harm, no foul.
Once upon a time has always been in my top 10
I watched it right before I made the video, I was blown away.
I have seen only a few of these. Once Upon a Time in America looks grandiose, The Long Goodbye looks fun. I wanted to see Sorcerer years ago and discovered a blu ray edition in a cash exchange shop and didn't hesitate to buy it. It's like Apocalypse Now in scale but too deliberate to be a masterpiece.

thanks for the recommendation, we'll give Army in the Shadows a watch and maybe we'll make a deep dive video!
I’m glad to see that non American movies are included, these lists tend to be very American centered.
Agreed, we tried to mix it up😊😊
I would toss in "My Dinner With Andre", "Jean deFloret" & "Manon of the Spring". And "Jules"!
i'll keep them in mind for the next list, thank you
Jean deFloret is such a virtue signal pick. there's better movies about the same sort of thing. at least shorter and more rewarding for the time spent.

Never heard of the fall looks interesting, plus ebay uk has it, Thanks for the reccomendation
no doubt!👍🏾👍🏾
Watch it ASAP. It's full of great locations with the beautiest cinematography I've ever seen. Seems like a film for children, but it's a bit dark for that. Maybe that's why it hasn't been turned into a classic.
Satochi Kon is pure GENIUS! Got to watch all his movies!
I was just recently made aware of him, I might have to do a marathon!
@Viral360Vibes Please do it! You gonna be dazzeld! Please, pay special attention in "Deep Blue" (huge influence in "Black Swan" movie) and "Tokyo Godfathers". Both are unkown masterpieces
@@REEDRICHARDS2 will do thanks, might do a deep dive video on them after I watch.
@Viral360Vibes Great! By the way: Im I am a movie buff and your list is REALLY good! Pure movie quality. I just signed you channel. Congratulations for your great work 🙏🙏🙏
@@REEDRICHARDS2 thank you, I really appreciate that. it's good to know people notice.
I liked The Long Good Friday starting Bob Hoskins and Hellen Mirren and Pierce Brosnan.
I'll check it out and consider it for part 3, thank you for the recommendation.
Excellent, all
thanks for the comment and for watching
Thank You.
you're welcome

I can’t watch Once Upon A Time In America again. There’s a scene between Deniro and McGovern that’s too disturbing. The assault just goes on and on
It's been almost 70 years since "A Face in the Crowd".....It's time for a remake, staring DonOld tRump!!!!1
lol, that could work!
I've seen most of these, too long ago. Sio I want to re-watch them with old eyes ready to see new things. My only reject is Wings of Desire. I regret wasting too much time seeing that pretentious and preposterous dull thing,
Add 'Mad Max' or 'A boy and his Dog' , or 'The Player'.
I think Mad Max has made a huge impact and has gotten it's flowers, I'll check out A boy and his dog and The player though, thanks for the reccomendations.
Bravo!!!!!!
Seriously? These film are rather popular and not forgotten c'mon...
Basic people here who think they are soo artsy and niche....
the title is a tag, a hook, TH-cam 101. These films aren't necessarily "forgotten", no. but some people may not go back and watch them especially younger people and some may have never heard of them at all. they may be "popular" to you, but they are not widely celebrated.
Desis some are on Prime.
For those ten named, attention from hundreds of others gets buried. Thanks.
well, I cant make a list with hundreds of movies on it, there will be more installments. Can't put all the best movies in one video
Don’t grab the popcorn .. yuk!!
Sorcerer is a remake of a better French film, The Wages Of Fear. Otherwise, a very good list.
did not know that! thanks for that info. and thanks for the compliment!
Thanks for that, new info to me, Someone mentioned the Sorcerer earlier in the year may of been the original fuzz on youtube.
I thought the plot described for Sorcerer sounded familiar. Wages of Fear is great.
That's what I was going to write. Le Salaire de la peur directed by Henri-Georges Clouzot is one of the scariest movies I've ever seen. You should have mentioned that.
Agree, Fear is better. But both rewatchable.

Again, please learn to pronounce peoples names before you put your voice on video. It’s embarrassing. I liked three on your list.
sorry dude, it's an AI voice generated to read our scripts, it doesn't always get pronunciations right.
Besides the long goodbye, A face in the crowd and the sorcerer, this list is absolutely garbage.
please make your own list and post it so we can all see what true cinematic masterpieces are.
