I love your eyes, my darling friend,
Their play, so passionate and brightening,
When a sudden stare up you send,
And like heaven-blown lightning,
It’d take in all from end to end.
But there’s more that I admire:
Your eyes when they’re downcast,
In bursts of love-inspired fire,
And through the eyelash goes fast
A somber, dull call of desire…

Jacob's Ladder - when the chiropractor explains how we can see our personal demons as angels - just by shifting our perspective we can choose not to be afraid - is probably the single most influential thing I've watched/heard in a movie

[@thebundleart]

I can see the passion and the effort that you put in your video and in general in the list, while simultaneously focusing on movies from 21st century. I can understand that it is a more "personal" list than for example "the 100 best movies of all times" and I really admire it, although most of the movies that you used would not ever in my list. But, you have directors like Angelopoulos, Miyazaki, Kubrick who are my most beloved ones, so thanks again for this video!

[@kaleem9652]

Now I have to watch all of these. The love and care you put into this is amazing. You got yourself a new subscriber

[@zonaaaa]

This is a beautifully done edit and transition. I loved the various parts where he transitioned from one movie to another. This is truly a collection of some underappreciated, aesthetically pleasing and thought provoking movies and some of them being famous because how great they are. Amazing work Bruce!

[@guchikura]

A stellar list, brilliantly presented. It makes it so clear that cinema, when passionately made, makes us see and think so much further than the surface of a form.

[@Chillin_n_Killin]

The whole video is utterly stunning, but that transition from Luke to Landscape is something else 🔥

Thank you!!!

[@Jass.Marttz]

I come from Instagram and I do not regret it at all, the edition of this is magnificent, it shows how much you love cinema, you earned a like. ❤️✨

[@BruceTetsuya]

Welcome from Instagram :)

[@skylofttheshadowcast4636]

This is so beautifully made, and has definitely given me a few films to add to my watch list. And I was so happy to see Maborosi at number 1, I've never met anyone else who loves that film as much as I do. It might be my number 1 too, although Stalker and Kiki's Delivery Service are pretty close.

[@Gwalen]

Honestly, I’ve never heard of Maborosi or Kore-eda before seeing this video, but I decided to give it a try. And yeah. It was the most impactful thing I’ve ever watched. Just in the first 5 to 10 minutes I could already tell that this will be so unlike anything else I’ve seen before, and how much I’ll love it. It’s just this way of presenting the story, the wide angle shots from far away, amazingly slow pace, lack of dialogue, it’s all just so masterfully done.

[@natoferreira6280]

"Life is not a competition". With that in mind I must say: this is the best movie list I have ever seen so far. Beautifully done, a masterful edition and don't even get me started on the score.

[@Physics_Dude]

I love the title "100 Films That Changed My Life" instead of the regular boring top 20. Your list allowed us to peek into your soul. Having both Interstellar and Arrival on your list tells me we have something in common. Interstellar's docking scene was so damn gooooood!

[@Physics_Dude]

@@AndreasIreland - Well, not sure what you are into. I can offer up a few from a few that are not mainstream. These three films are from my favorite filmmakers: Another Earth (sci-fi), The East (drama), and I Origins (kind of sci-fi, romance, drama). Mike Cahill, Brit Marling, and Zal Batmanglij all met at Georgetown and collaborated on several projects after graduation. The series The OA is another from them.

[@marcogeorgoussis5531]

I haven't seen many of these but burning is one of my favourite films ever, glad you included it on your list. I'll definitely be coming back to this to check some of these out.

A fantastic list, and ofc because i see my favourites in there, but also becuz ur not afraid of including the obvious right alongside more obscure, as well as foreign movies, just a very diverse but also very relatable list. I mean its not hard at all to see why these changed your life, no words needed, just an excellently edited video.

Well, I've occasionally thought of myself as a bit of a student of film. After seeing your display of films, I can now place myself as maybe having taken Film 101 and registering for Film 102. I'm impressed that I can list having seen more of "your" films than I can count on my fingers, but not many more. Kudos to the greatest of all action/drama films, Kurosawa's "Seven Samurai" at #2.

Tree of life is simply the most beautiful movie i have ever seen. True visual poetry.havent seen the japanese/asian films , because i have a lot of catching up to do.

[@anunusualironiccircumstanc2108]

Force Awakens? At 21. Oh God. I recall not seeing any of Scorsese’ filmography apart from Silence which is probably my least favourite that I’ve seen from him. It was refreshing to see a good amount of foreign film in there, especially Kuroasawa. There also seemed like a good portion of your choices were relationship based.

[@mickhoran]

Exactly this, good list except for the Force Awakens being so high. Makes no sense as it’s objectively a garbage movie like all of the sequels. I like the Kurosawa and Tarkovsky love though

I rhink that was what these videos mean. 100 favourite movies. It just makes for a much better title to write " Chnaged my life" bcoz ppl are looking for change their lives and they click.

[@chip42971]

i’ve only seen a couple of the movies in this video but they for sure changed my life. I carry the experience of seeing them with me every day. Of course not always in my mind, but always with me somehow. That qualifies as changing a life, doesn’t it? also the title is “100 movies that changed MY life”, not “100 movies that will change YOUR life”. Everyone experiences movies differently with different perspectives so a movie can be life changing for one person and not for another, but i think that’s pretty amazing

@@garyb2392 - You said, "So I’m assuming the person is young." You sound like a geriatric with his stick up his ass. "OK, Boomer" is a pejorative aimed at people stuck in the past thinking their world was better. So listen up, Boomer: most of the best films came out in the 2000s. The older films were misogynist, had racist tropes, had primarily white men in all production decisions, and did NOT reflect the art of humanity. Is that better, gramps? You asked for "More than two words together." So there you go! What a great slaying of the paper dragon (you).

Seeing No Country For Old Men on this list made me happy. Hands down the best movie i've ever watched

[@JonathanRobinson11]

Thank you. Really moving. Also, I need to watch a lot of these.

Fight club?

[@nikhilsoren3107]

Good list but mostly English cinema....as Indian mine will be completely filled with Indian movies so can't blame you ....

[@gtf5392]

Whoa. I am humbled that you included ‘Still Walking’ on your list. Hirokazu Koreeda is my favorite director and ‘I Wish’ is my favorite film, but Still Walking is my 2nd favorite.

Thank you for sharing this with me!!

This guy’s easily impressed.

Of course the movies that changed your life most are Japanese movies, being a Japanese yourself.

[@nathanakpe4897]

Japanese movies have always been good along with french movies so what is your point

[@RhiannonSenpai]

@@nathanakpe4897 I disagree Japanese movies haven't always been good, especially not Japanese movies of the last 20 years. A big complaint about Japanese live action movies but especially Japanese live action TV shows is that they're too melodramatic or feature overacting that can lean towards cringe. That's why a lot of Asians and Westerners that like Asian media prefer Korean live action movies & TV show, their acting is more natural, closer to Americans and Europeans.

Very good list, I add also Mr Nobody!! What a movie!!! It changed my life

[@JackWoodYoutuber]

Thank you for this, this was an amazing watch and has really inspired me to get back into watching movies

[@rupakkafle7518]

Spirited Away is overrated.

[@MrFredstt]

Father with Anthony Hopkins was a movie that really moved me. Makes you think of the reality of growing old and what that entails and the problems that come with it

[@Tamer22249]

Thank you, man, for this legendary list❤

[@CaptNaptastic]

I love this list. Lots of foreign films. Usually I see people’s list of favorite films and it’s mostly of only their home country’s films. This is a list of someone that really loves cinema. Love this list. Gonna check out a lot of these.

One of the most creative movie lists I've ever seen
