American Movie - A very brief look back

[@mbrooks1488]

RIP Mike! World's Best Friend!

[@TheMagik007]

I watch this movie every year during Deer Hunting Season in Wisconsin with my brother. Priceless. "Does everyone have brown gloves?"

[@davidhatred1583]

did you find that cathartic mike?

[@wiseauserious8750]

I would literally pay thousands of dollars to Chris Smith and Sarah price for the hours and hours of footage that was unused sitting in a vault somewhere

[@wiseauserious8750]

@@davidhatred1583 pretty damn cathartic

[@rockyBalboa6699]

@@wiseauserious8750 It's probably all thrown away. Those nitrate films don't last longer unless kept in a rented vault.

[@iscream2232]

My favorite documentary ever. I watch it every year around Thanksgiving

[@leejohanson6162]

Same here

[@jmcbastard9665]

I really like the idea of making "American Movie" a Thanksgiving tradition. I'm gonna start this year.

[@lyletuck]

R.I.P., Mike. F cancer, man.

[@jamiemark]

The world needs a 2020 update sir.

[@wiseauserious8750]

You should check out the handful of interviews on KZbin with mark, he's just as fascinating now as he was then

[@shreddykrueger3776]

Mike is dead

[@josephlawson9950]

In memory of mike that was wicked man

[@kendrasdreams]

Oh my god something RECENT with Mark and Mike! Thank you so much. I gotta ask the question that people have been asking for years...whats going on with Scare Me??? Are they planning on any type of filmmaking in the future? Either way great to see em!!!

[@cthulhuhandluke8026]

Mike needs his own channel

[@GothicFantasyGuild]

Just watched American Movie the other day, cool to see them here pretty recently

[@davidhatred1583]

hope all the guys are doing good! now in the process of making my own film fenland. keep an eye out over the next ten years!

[@JtMills]

Haha, sweet. I just got a copy of "Coven" on VHS. Would love to see more updates like this.

[@YesOkayButWhy]

RIP Mike. But whoah, sounds like he had an amazing life! He was certainly an amazing guy.

[@LovBoat]

This, king of Kong and Darkon are my fav docs of all time!

[@RobbieSkyeHamilton]

That Herzog shirt!

[@wiseauserious8750]

I would pay thousands of dollars to listen to Werner Herzog recite every Mark line in American movie

[@slapshot1x]

Mike and his wife Kate came to grand rapids a few years ago and we filmed at the sazarac and in kentwood.

[@donaldblackamericanhighlan2079]

Chris Penney Are they still active

[@happyclam1266]

I'm glad Mike has Kate and Kate has Mike. Thank you for this warm little video.

[@julesgray810]

[@BronBarry]

I absolutely love this! Thank you for posting.

[@richardlafleur2864]

For the love of god give this movie the Criterion treatment

[@immortaluglyfish2724]

Something about seeing Mark with a grey beard made me sad

[@CommentReader]

I didn't know they went to grand rapids, I wonder where exactly they were filmed at in that city, I used to live there but I can't recognize where they're at

[@deanb9323]

I recognized Alterra! this is awesome.

[@cinebevare]

Feels good to see them

[@umbertojr]

Thank you for making this!

[@Davesky19]

I’ve never seen him mention that he was in Todd Solondz’ Storytelling, in a segment that was kind of a parody of American Movie.

[@wiseauserious8750]

What?? Now I've got to investigate

[@Davesky19]

@@wiseauserious8750 He was Paul Giamatti’s roommate. Giamatti’s character was making a documentary in the style of American Movie. He even called it American Scoobie.

Looove this movie! So unintentionally funny!!!

[@Amy_Penney1234]

Such a fun weekend. Wear shoes next time! Lol

0:42 For a film student, he sure missed the point of the film.

[@otterblue5351]

Love your username.

[@NerdySabbath]

Idk what is about that guy that made me annoyed, I get the vibe he feels hes above the type of people AM is about. It's like film students have the self delusion & ego of Mark, but minus all the charisma & confidence that makes him compelling

[@HiGlowie]

I love that Mike Shank has a cute girlfriend.

[@m_c_8656]

awesome!

[@HeroQuestFans]

coven... covid... it was a warning! j/k, hope you all are safe

[@Spectrumpicture]

So funny to imagine Mike hanging out with Korn. I just imagine they're in some dungeon and Mike goes: "wanna drink thum thodas?"

[@Frisbinator]

Those guys did not age well, they look horrible. Holy cow. Also , that movie was cringe , especially when they made him repeat his line from American Movie, whose idiotic idea was that? I know these people are idols to you all but, come the hell on…
