Doug Liman Picks His Favorite Shots From The Instigators, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, & More | My Best Shots

[@harshgorasia6501]

that story about Edge of Tomorrow was unbelievable, wasn't expecting Liman to be that candid and then reworking it by re-shooting Tom Cruise's shots was ingenious as that scene is super memorable and important in establishing Cruise's character. love this series

[@dejabu24]

Thanks Doug Liman for making Bourne identity one of my fav movies ( and trilogy) ever , that movie change the spy thriller genre

[@PnoMate]

not at all lol

[@aidilmubarock5394]

​@@PnoMateJust look at mi and james bond action scenes after bourne came out

[@izzy_thump]

Wish Tony Scott was still alive to do one of these.

Same

[@asac_onvenient]

Great movies- all around, must have seen Edge of tomorrow 4 times in theater

[@maartenn2217]

I absolutely love how he picks his favourites!

EDGE OF TOMORROW = MASTERPIECE

[@__mads__]

This was amazing. I wasn’t expecting much. Maybe a Vanity Fair -style overview. For something that could have been a short, fluffy, get to know you sort of piece, I found this incredibly candid and insightful. I especially loved his bit about Brendan Gleeson’s attitude. It wasn’t so much of a judgement about Gleeson, but a recognization of the circumstances that made him that way. I haven’t seen any of the other director interviews you’ve done, but I will right now.

[@FrancisXLord]

It may be an unpopular opinion but I think Doug Liman made the best Bourne movie. It is the only one I ever rewatch these days, frankly the sequels made my eyes tired.

[@ReverendMeat51]

Same. Are we out of touch or is it the kids who are wrong?

[@FrancisXLord]

@@ReverendMeat51 I think shaky-cam was a fad that seems to have largely died out through overuse.

[@rohan6781]

Supremacy was the best I see the argument tho. If you listen to the directors commentary doug seems really passionate about the movie.

[@DAS_k1ishEe]

I feel like Doug Liman needs a hug after watching this. He has the Michael Bay naivety to film making without his horrible lazyness into everything not happening in front of the camera. Doug just wants to make movies that do not suck and he seems incredibly aware when he fails to do so.

[@jennyzarate7086]

Mr & mrs. Smith is one of my favorite movies!! They have the best chemistry, it was perfect for them. Greetings from Bolivia 🇧🇴 🇧🇴🇧🇴

Terrible movie but those 2 had chemistry because they were involved.

[@jennyzarate7086]

@@FlyingTigersKMT JLo and Ben Affleck were involved during Gigli and there was no chemistry there.

[@FlyingTigersKMT]

@@jennyzarate7086 Ben Affleck and JLo are not on the level of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in acting skills. Besides... I wouldn't really expect anyone to have any chemistry with JLo... being the queen bitch herself. Ben probably was sick of her shit by then.

[@lydia1634]

Mr. and Mrs. Smith as a thriller would have made it so boring...but Angelina Jolie playing it that way makes it funnier.

[@georgeabrahams4076]

Nah, this is why the show is so much better than the film, is a romantic dramedy, but the tone, atmosphere and look is more of a thriller. So the emotional punch hits harder, the comedy lands better and of course, the romance is more real

[@grukoin2789]

​@@georgeabrahams4076 hard disagree on the show being better than the movie

[@georgeabrahams4076]

@@grukoin2789 in the show, they actually have a much more interesting relationship. The concept works the best when both know they are spies and both are send to be a couple. Than the whole: "she doesn't know I'm a spy"

[@danielmacharia4600]

New favorite series on this channel, keep it up

[@travisspaulding5835]

I love that he takes very little credit. Like all his favorite shots were basically an accident

[@erakfishfishfish]

That scene in Swingers is one of the most painful scenes to watch in any movie. His choice to do it as a oner with a non-moving camera was the right choice.

[@NickGranville]

Impressive career he’s had. Wow

[@Buff_Cupcake]

Very cool trivia around Edge of Tomorrow. Gleeson kinda went down in my estimations here - moaning about the credibility of the movie he is starring in while also happily taking the paycheck associated with it.

[@JoshuaCasper]

thanks for this video.

[@nones100]

As much as love Edge of Tomorrow or Bourne or Mr and Mrs Smith or American Made or Go! Or any other of his other movies he hasn't made a movie as rewatchable as Swingers which is a masterpiece. He's so money and he doesn't even know it

[@AgentPigeon182]

Hey where’s the podcast???

Shame not to see Go on here, I definitely have a favorite shot from that one. Great movie

William Fichtner nude talking to Scott Wolf kills me, specifically the shot from behind Fichtner as he adjusts his stance. It’s hilarious.

What about back in the day when you used to do homemade movies and DIY costumes

[@apocbible]

IPhone brilliant

[@AndrewNiccol]

I'm shocked he decided Mr. and Mrs. Smith should be a comedy after weeks of filming. Should it be decided in the script stage?

[@WitheredBonnie1987]

They don’t make homemade movies anymore like they use to

[@COEYRN]

That? Was a million dollar set Yikes! What kinda car do you drive😅

[@redkf]

What's ligman

[@frankunodostres473]

wait why does this guy talk like he didn't know what he was doing lmao 4:27 how can that be the moment you said "I know the movie now" in the middle of the shoot, AFTER having a complete script, 2 of the biggest movie stars in the world and millions of dollars of budget at your disposal? :D I thought directors know what kind of film they are making before you start shooting it

[@FramesPerSecond]

He’s known for having to reshoot large portions of his films because he feels like changing it out of no where. Does r always work. Edge of Tomorrow was lucky that it worked.

[@AndSendMe]

He keeps thinking because he wants the film to be the best it can be. Planning ahead and sticking to the plan means you know what you are doing but it may stop you from improving on the plan as your understanding grows---and how can it not as you work on something. I might also gently suggest that for that matter he is not known to be the best planner in the world. But badly planned movies happen all the time and often it's not the director's fault. Being able to pull a good movie out of that mess is a very valuable skill, even if you are part of the cause sometimes.

[@erakfishfishfish]

Annie Hall was originally a murder mystery. It was only during editing that Woody Allen dropped that plot completely and turned it into a romantic comedy.,

[@roykentseyebrows4196]

Yeah, this is why studios stopped trusting Liman with big budgets: Three weeks into shooting and THEN you realize you're making a comedy?

[@lizardkingno2]

They don't? he directed two big budget movies this year alone. has 4 projects in development as director and some more as a producer
