It was legitimately wonderful to sit in a movie theater and watch something as slow and moody as The Green Knight. I was probably the only one in my theater who liked it though…

The mamma Mia movies are my favorite. Even if they're not theatrically perfect, it's literally impossible to be sad while watching those movies, which makes them perfect for my bad days

[@cd6229]

I’m sure you’ve seen it, but if you haven’t seen Jon Favereu’s (I hope I spelt that right) movie “Chef” it might make you more hungry than Tampopo. EDIT: If you have indeed seen it, watch it again.

[@LaughBoys]

Karsten’s infectious passion for cinema makes me realize I wasted my experience at film school playing flash games and chewing bubble gum. Whoops.

[@nicolefegan]

Ida was one of my favorite first-watches of the year, so glad you loved it too!!

[@rabbitsfoot33]

"it's the kind of movie i'd be obsessed with if i saw it as a teenager" i was obsessed with stoker when i saw it as a teenager. i couldn't have fully appreciated it then, but i loved how off-putting it was.

[@endureexistence]

I just wanted to say thank you for getting more invested in cinema as a whole. I actually started taking film studies as a class for highschool because I wanna learn more lol. love your videos!

[@candykiller98]

I was waiting for you're review of Annette cause I knew you'd be the only bigger youtuber to cover it. You said my thoughts exactly, this movie isn't very accessible but I think that works for it. Viewing it through the lense of these inaccessible celebrities. The movie feels like a dream a exciting, lulling, lovely dream. I've already watched it twice and have been rewatching scenes online in between my full viewings. I can't get enough of this movie I think it's my new comfort film.

[@freegadflyathome]

Best in Show is SOOO good! I watched Eighth Grade, Springer Breakers, and Clue. All rewatches, and Clue is the funniest movie of all time to me. I am rewatching The Sopranos for the first time in over ten years and it's a treat to say the least.

[@harveykeitelappreciator]

I watch these because you are cool and I like to see what films I might be into, so thank you for talking about carnival if souls because that film feels like it is exactly for me!! Thanks as always, Karsten

Temple of dooms one of the only ones where Jones is returning an artefact to a native people though I guess

You watched so much great stuff this month! Proud of you!

[@LostGarcons]

Karsten ! Love the videos as always ! I highly recommended Pulse the Original Japanese one form 2001. Its a fantastic film and is a hidden gem for sure !

[@berenicethegirl]

It hurt my feelings when you said the 1st Mamma Mia was stupid

[@gregcharles3240]

Fun fact, Karsten: Annette was written by Sparks ( Ron & Russell Mael), a band that traced its roots from the 1970s and is still making quality music to this day, even made the soundtrack for this film. If you want a more in-depth story of the band, I highly recommend watching The Sparks Brothers documentary from Edgar Wright.

[@sirene1976]

watched ugetsu this month as well and it’s now in my top 10

[@wariodedede]

I love and hate watching these videos lol. I love learning about so many great films from you, but then I have to put so many on my damn watchlist!

[@chipwatford7676]

Thanks to this video for introducing me to Carnival of Souls!

[@skunky_fink]

Man, I was so offended when I watched Temple of the Doom for the first time. I was like how tf can Steven Speilberg do this to me. But he got by love back when I watched Terminal and Lincoln lol

[@benjaminhertzog5951]

I am so glad Karsten loved Carnival of Souls! One of my favorite horror movies.

[@BlairCarlyle]

Everyone hates on Temple of Doom but I love it so much. It’s non stop action, it’s dark, it’s gritty, and it’s just so freakin cool. Definitely a bit problematic though in retrospect

[@salamandrao.6084]

finally someone is talking about stoker, i love that movie

[@pedrojoaquincastillocorona9735]

Karsten, could you please post where did you watch these movies? I live in Guatemala so... It gets difficult to find these kind of movies. Thank you
