NON HORROR MOVIES I RATE 10/10 | Spookyastronauts

[@shawnabloemer9564]

😭😭 Brokeback Mountain and Dancer in the Dark--I completely agree! I would also recommend Jake Gyllenhaal in Nightcrawler as perfection.

[@MsBluheart]

Really enjoyed hearing about your non horror favorites. I love many of these titles as well, particularly The Elephant Man , Brokeback Mountain and Requiem For a Dream. You reminded me about American Beauty! I need to rewatch that one. Another one from around that time I love is The Virgin Suicides.

[@shannonleigh10]

Hell yes! So many gems here. LOVE that you included Home Alone and Babe! 🙌 And I refuse to let Kevin Spacey now ruin American Beauty for me as well. It’s a perfect film I resonated so much with as a teen. My list would be: Pulp Fiction, American Beauty, Boogie Nights, Kill Bill, Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Apocalypse Now, The Departed, Fargo, Heathers, Parasite, Natural Born Killers, A Clockwork Orange, Pans Labyrinth, A Ghost Story, The Virgin Suicides, Blue Velvet, Brokeback Mountain, Requiem for a Dream, Dazed and Confused, Goodfellas, The Nightmare Before Christmas…and probably so many more! 😂

[@oziku1816]

You have great taste in movies!

[@sunnygreenings4840]

American Beauty and Boogie Nights are always on my top 10 (top 5 for Boogie Nights, which is operatic in scope and character while getting it just right about the 70s). All of the performances were on point. My hubby loves a Clockwork Orange more than I like it (it's a great accomplishment). The aesthetics and story were disturbing in a good way.

[@polarbearsrus6980]

I don't see Blue Velvet mentioned much but it was edgy!

[@vanessalaughtland4417]

I'm so glad you mentioned Dancer in the Dark - I never hear anyone talk about it! I've only ever seen it once but my god it broke me. I keep trying to mentally prepare myself to watch it again but like over 10 years later it's still not happened :') Yet weirdly I've watched Requiem for a Dream multiple times?? Why do I do this to myself haha The Elephant Man is another one I've been meaning to rewatch because oh my god it was so beautiful. Definitely up there with my favourites from Lynch, even after only one watch. For me some of my 9s and 10s are: - Some Like It Hot (my favourite comedy of all time) - It's a Wonderful Life (my favourite Christmas movie of all time) - The Breakfast Club - Girl, Interrupted - Pulp Fiction - Matilda - Clueless - The Lord of the Rings trilogy - There Will Be Blood - Deep Impact There are soooo many more though!

[@juliekrocova]

Such good picks. There's not enough appreciation for American Honey, that movie blew me away and really hit me, especially the first time around in a theatre. I like your horror content of course but I'm glad you also talk about movies from other genres as well here and there :) Also, American Beauty is one of those movies that made me fall in love with movies, not that I wouldn't love them before that but it really evoke something in me and I love that movie til this day, need to rewatch it though. That movie and Donnie Darko really made my high school experience :)

[@singlechica1991]

You had so many of my favorite movies on your list. Thora Birch's character in American Beauty was my favorite! I related with her so much and was so focused on her arch in the movie. The way you talk about films is so transparent and genuine! Great job again Emma :)

[@spookyastronauts]

Thanks Nicole

[@theballadofamixtape]

This is such a great list! Love how passionate you are about film. Here's 10 of my favourite non-horror flicks: 1. Mulholland Drive (2001) 2. The Big Lebowski (1998) 3. Jurassic Park (1993) 4. Brazil (1985) 5. Fight Club (1999) 6. Lost in Translation (2003) 7. Dead Mans Shoes (2004) 8. Amélie (2001) 9. Life Of Brian (1979) 10. Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

[@allthelittleworms]

YESSS!!! Jurassic Park will go down as one of the greatest movies in cinema history.

[@Lapaggel]

Amelie!!!! One of my favorites of all time!

[@nicolewashenberger4037]

A clockwork orange, spirited away, Goodfellas, American Beauty with the Thomas Newman soundtrack… so good. I can’t believe how much we have in common. You are not geeky!!! These movies are the same as mine, just about every single one is absolute perfection. And you really boosted my confidence by watching this Emma. I agree the point of cinema is to move you emotionally… it is a form of art! I am an artist as well, I draw, and I have never been able to draw something profound unless there is emotion behind it. I was shocked to hear Donnie Darko on this list, and Spirited away. It really is insane how every single thing you listed on here are my top favorite movies of all time. No wonder now I’ve seen nearly all your videos!! I don’t know how many of your comments you read Emma but I just wanted to say thank you. You are such an inspiration to me, I have always been kind of a nerdy girl and sort of just a loner, but watching your videos really inspires me. I’ve seen so many of the horror movies you’ve reviewed, and some of my favorites are Martyrs, Climax, Requiem for a Dream (thriller), Misery, and May. Im so glad you’ve kept up YouTubing, you really are a special presence on here, and I hope some day you will see my comments and give me a shout out! Thank you for all you do 😊 huge inspiration.

[@HannahTheHorrible]

Brokeback Mountain is also a novella. And it’s very very good as well

[@actfray]

My favorite Lars von Trier film is "Melancholia." It's so profound with a final shot that is both devastating and glorious. My all-time favorite film would have to be "Close Encounters of the Third Kind." I saw it when I was 16 and it filled me with a sense of wonder that has never been equaled.

[@sunnygreenings4840]

Love Melancholia--it doesn't get enough love! So good in every aspect.

[@spvvky]

This was a lot of fun to watch and told us the audience a lot more about you tbh. I also enjoy psychological movies a lot. For a long time my top four was A Clockwork Orange, Requiem for a Dream, American Beauty, Fight Club, and Princess Mononoke. Top two hasn't changed but the rest are scattered in my top 25ish now. Honestly it's hard for me to pick a top 5 but I know A Clockwork Orange will likely always be my number one. The layers, the music, the madness. It's all such a spiral. Thanks for sharing! If I may, an animated film I think you might enjoy because it's very slice of life and a drama (by Satoshi Kon) Millennium Actress. No pressure just think it might be your thing. I'd maybe even say it's the anime version of a honey film?

[@NanceDrew]

Requiem is something I just haven’t been able to rewatch but has stuck with me through the years. I watched a KZbin recap of it and I just couldn’t do it again, it’s so crazy. Loved it.

[@chriscze6153]

TAXI DRIVER. OMG. I am so glad you included this on your list. I was OBSESSED with this as a teenager. I think mostly because I think 70s Robert de Niro was an incredibly attractive man and he was just an amazing actor but this nihilistic way of seeing the world around you really opened my eyes a lot.

[@RavenHouseMystery]

Thanks for sharing your list of non-horror favorites, Emma. While these films are not in my top ten list, I agree that HOME ALONE, A CLOCKWORK ORANGE, TAXI DRIVER, THE TRUMAN SHOW and BABE are all excellent films as well. When Jim Carrey did not even get an Oscar nomination for "The Truman Show", I knew the Academy would never, ever give comedies their due respect. I'm going to try and give my top ten films in as many categories as I can while steering clear of horror, suspense, thrillers, science fiction and murder mysteries. So here we go (in order of film release): 1. CASABLANCA (1942) - Hollywood classic and probably the best love story ever. 2. THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN (1960) - my favorite western, though I know it's not the best western made. 3. THE DEVIL'S BRIGADE (1968) - my favorite war film. 4. DIRTY HARRY (1971) - as it's own film, this is about a detective who believes in justice, but the system of law keeps getting in the way. 5. 48 HOURS (1982) - best action/comedy ever. 6. E.T., THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL (1982) - what can I say? I was fifteen years old (close in age to Elliot's older brother), rode a dirt bike and I cried at the end. 7. THE UNTOUCHABLES (1987) - my favorite movie of all time. This is the one I would want to be stuck on a desert island with. 8. NOTTING HILL (1999) - best romantic comedy ever. 9. THE LORD OF THE RINGS TRILOGY (2001-2003) - the whole story told in a perfect way. 10. MYSTIC RIVER (2003) - best crime/drama and what a heartbreaking story. Honorable mentions list would go on forever, so I'll skip that. I realize that I do gravitate to films with the classic troupe: Rescue the girl, defeat the bad guy and save the world. That's true even in my favorite horror films, the villain doesn't always win. What can I say? I was a shy kid who wanted to be the "detective hero".

[@BoopSnoot69]

this is a GREAT list!! Requiem for a Dream is in my top movies of all time. I went in blind watching it on a whim a few years ago and it absolutely blew me away. I've seen it a lot. But it is a difficult rewatch. The Truman Show. Wow. This film is absolute perfection. It broke me! Jim Carrey is incredible. Ugh your taste in movies is fantaaaasticcccc.

[@Antip0dean]

Thank you Emma. I saw Fight Club and American Beauty as a double feature, upper eastside Manhattan in 1999. How do you EVER come close to the feeling of walking out of a cinema after an experience like that? The last time I got that excited was when I saw Un Chein Andalou and Eraserhead in Brisbane at Metro Arts Theatre. Now I live in Mandurah subsisting off torrenting.

[@mariaclaragarcia5290]

OMG you are amaziiiing! Can't believe you talked about Babe, it's one of my favourite movies of all time - and I'm 33 years old :) I also think it was ahead of its time, so beautiful and so funny! And the effects are awesome, still very realistic after all these years! Loved all of your list, but Babe was the cherry on top! I'm so silly about this movie, I have a 7 year old french bulldog, and he really looks like a litlle pig, so I always talk to him and imagine he would answer me with Babe's voice!

[@movielover828]

“Fight Club”, “A Clockwork Orange”, “Goodfellas”, “American Beauty” and some other films on your list are truly the best ones I’ve watched. Thanks for putting them on your list, Emma! 🙂👍🏻

[@ellagigg3625]

I watched Spirited Away as a child and it terrified me 😂 have never watched it since and I am now 21. Some of my 10/10 movies: Bridget Jones's Diary, War Horse, The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, Marley & Me, 1917, A Dogs Purpose, Paul, Game Night, Papillon and Shawshank Redemption.

[@jeanmont]

There is something about Spirited Away. A few years ago when covid struck and my anxiety was peaking I tried to watch it and I couldn't handle it. I'd seen it before and I have seen it since, but I remember that one time it really messed with my head for some odd reason.

[@werebaneceo]

Cool pics,also ive always considered home alone a horror film in so many ways from abandonment, a house of fears ,to a home invasion that only thwarted due to not only overcoming fear but using it against the intruders, only thing its missing is deaths, love your spooky channel

[@TheAnadromist]

Well I actually overlapped with you on two films. The Elephant Man and Taxi driver. And if I didn't file them under their directors they'd both be in the horror section for me. (Which I'm sure they wouldn't be for most people, but I organize my genres a little different than other folks.) Thanks Emma, it's swell to see what films mean something to you.

[@NewAzn]

Bro. I loved Babe. It was one of the few VHS tapes I owned as a kid and I wore it tf outtt (along with Home Alone, of course). I’m beyond pleased to see this get some recognition lmao. More talking animals pls

[@laurensvanulden4367]

If you're going for disturbing directors, but not necessarily horror, you should dig in to Michael Haneke. Funny games, Le pianiste, Caché, The white ribbon, Amour... if they don't hit you...

[@JeanLucPolier]

How is funny games not considered horror? 😅

[@colinwoods9601]

Cache is one of the most impressively directed movies I’ve ever seen. It’s a masterclass in various, subtle choices from Haneke that makes this thriller so effective.

[@alexandrabenedetti]

I love your perspective on film. I related so much to you when you were talking about watching movies to know about others experiences. I’ve just found your channel recently and have been obsessed with your recommendations and opinions!! I would love to see more videos by you on films that aren’t thriller or horror but I understand that’s not your intention with this channel! Just really happy for this video existing. Also, Florida project and American honey are some of my favorites as well. I cry every time to both of those lol. Perfect films. Honey films ❤️

Lars is my favourite filmmaker. I'm shocked you're not a bigger supporter of his. Dancer In The Dark is a film I only saw once, and I don't think I will watch it again. However, that takes nothing away from its brilliance. But seriously... how can you not love Breaking The Waves? Europa? I adore his work, and I'm so sad I didn't finish my masters thesis on von Trier.

[@GreetingsFromBlackwoodFarm]

Recently I watched Twin Peaks for the first time in my life. I know... I'm 4036 years old, almost 4037, and I had never seen it. What!?? But, I loved it. Was super excited to continue right away with The Return. Well... Never has it taken me so long to finish a season of anything.. I hated it with a passion. I don't know if you have a video somewhere where you talk about it, but I'd love to know what you thought of The Return. Will David Lynch be one of the directors featured in your Most Disturbing Directors series?

[@thatchillingeffect]

I have watched a lot of these, but a long time ago and just once and I think my taste in movies has grown uo with me, so now I want to rewatch them and see if there's a new perspective.

[@hales2718]

Dang every single movie you listed, I was like "me too!". Wonder if it's a horror girl thing, but I've never seen someone have the exact same taste as me. With the exception of Clockwork Orange, which is triggering for me personally. But I still love Kubrick. Great video!

[@jamiepaich]

Hi Emma! I'm totally in another realm at the moment, so before I forget, have you done a "Coming to VOD in June/July" yet, or an "Everything I Watched in....."? I couldn't find any in my searches, so before I forget..... have you, or anyone, done a mention or review of the Barbara Crampton (yes, it is hers 😌) film, "Sacrifice"? If so, I totally missed it. Just mentioning it cuz I've heard a ton of stuff on "Jakob's Wife", but nothing on "Sacrifice" which is a fun creepy movie. Thanks for what you do Emma!!!

Loved the list. I feel like you would love Less Than Zero - a late 80s movie about LA, rich kids and the drug scene. It stars Robert Downey Jr. And he is crazy brilliant in it! The excess of the 80s, fashion, and drugs are an amazing backdrop.

[@jeanmont]

Some good recommendations here. Goodfellas is always the first one that comes to mind when someone talks about movies that are a 10. I love it so much, though I do look away at times cause the violent scenes feel crazy realistic and it can be pretty disturbing. I've been wanting to rewatch Brokeback Mountain for the longest time, but I know it's gonna fuck me up. I remember it being incredibly good and devastatingly sad. Hopefully one of these days I'll feel grounded enough to handle it.

[@ivandksd]

Love Requiem for a Dream. It feels like a fairy tale that slowly turns into nightmare. No matter how many times I see it, it still is an emotional rollercoaster.

[@Charlie-pu9bx]

A Clockwork Orange is the film that made me fall in love with film. Out of curiosity I was reading an article about banned films, and ACO was on it. Because I was an edgy teenager I obviously had to buy it on DVD and it changed how I view films. It was the one that made me realise that films can be works of art and not just mindless entertainment (although I do like those types of films too!) and it was the film that introduced me to my favourite director of all time, Stanley Kubrick. I'm so glad you had this film on your list!

Honestly, I’ve seen many ‘extreme horror’ films, and Requiem for a Dream is still the most disturbing film I’ve ever seen. I really struggle to rewatch it- I actually have! It’s just so difficult- they’re all amazing but Ellen Burstyn in particular really blows my mind, probably my favourite performance ever put to film. Nice to see you loved Sound of Metal as much as I did too!

[@steveacfield6131]

So many great movies. Love your list. For me Schindler's List may very well be the greatest movie ever made, or at the very least, should be in anyone's top five. And not just because of how well it gets its message across. The lighting, the cinematography in general (watch how shadow is used. Watch the girl in red and why she was included...Steven Spielberg explains in a doco). and listen to how the actual survivors in the movie say it was even worse than what is portrayed. When I saw it we had several survivors come on stage and actually speak about the movie before it was screened. Total silence afterwards, even as people respectfully left the cinema you could hear a pin drop. It should be compulsory viewing. But, admirably, a movie most could only watch once. 10/10 and I give very few movies such a score. Oh, and it could very easily be classed as horror.

I still have to watch Brokeback mountain, but it is on my list. The father was so good and Anthony Hopkins amazing. I haven't watched American beauty in years; I think I have the vhs somewhere, watched it when I was very young. Loved loved Sound of metal and Riz Amhed, amazing. Donnie Darko so uniqueeeeee. The imposter was mind boggling. Haha the part about Babe :D..............Some of my favorites non horror are: Back to the future, The lord of the rings...Dear Zachary, which I disscovered thanks to you....I actually tend to give more 4.5 /9 than the whole ten.

[@patrickd1563]

You almost feel ashamed for Babe! Don't! Because I saw it recently for the first time(and this is coming from a 41 year old guy) and thought it was great. I wouldn't call it a kids movie , but a family movie. In this case a family movie that has besides a lot of entertainment, heart and some cleverness(just like you mentioned) also a bit of dark subtext(not really suited for the very young) and some good messaging.

Thanks so much for making this video! I love so many of these movies and it was great to hear your thoughts on them. The Florida Project is so perfect and underrated IMO. American Beauty was the first movie I considered to be perfect. Not only did it change the way I viewed film, but it also taught me to have a positive outlook on life. Obviously, any movie about a middle aged man wanting to have sex with a teenager isn't going to hold up. But I think it has more to offer than just that. Anyone can relate to wanting to break free from the confines of their own life. (P.S. the plastic bag scene made me cry as a teenager 😂)

Some of my 10s, Inside Out, Team America: World Police, Shawshank Redemption, Arival, Lord of the Rings Trilogy (extended) 12 Angry Men and for a Christmas one which I know isn't a perfect film but by God its 10 out of 10 Jingle all the Way!

[@theupwardspiral1580]

I just bought inside out on recommendation of my counselor and I bawled my eyes out hahahahaha

[@mjj1017]

i can totally relate to your thoughts on "fight club"... it is just something i wish there would exist more of. these thoughts put into these ideas.

[@davidbutler1622]

Thanks for the tip on The Florida Project. Loved it. Back in the day It’s the type of film youd watch by accident on a Friday night at 1am in the morning and then spend years trying to find out what it was called.

[@jasperfen3754]

My viewing habits have become very limited, and outside of horror science fiction and fantasy I have trouble finding things I like. On your list my favorite was definitely spirited away and Donnie Darko. Thanks for another video. (Also I definitely thought of Donnie Darko as a horror movie).

[@ajaygupta1173]

Hey Emma. Have u thought about discussing Michael Haeneke's work fir most disturbing directors? I think that guy is awesome n I love his filmography

[@spookyastronauts]

Yes!!! I love him, I’ll definitely include him at some point

[@Ultra-Collector]

Did you know The Florida project is based on a Doc? Exact same situation living behind Disney and the kids often sneak into the parking lot and watch the fireworks. It’s a great doc! Something you may find cool is that i actually own a bunch of the Galoob Micro Machines from the Home alone film! Ghost World is my favorite Thora Birch film.

[@divyenjoshi1168]

Amazing video as usual Emma.

I read all Pahlaniuk's books. By the story, and it's noticeable if you watch it with this in mind, Mara Singer is also him. He's all 3 characters. Tyler Durden's first appearance in the book is really weird. He's on a beach putting logs into the ground, it's too long to explain if you haven't read it. The movie got me to read all his books because I loved it so much. Short book, and the movie was a great adaptation (I actually like the movie better, which is rare). Rest of his books are cynical, like Fight Club, but those movie adaptations are terrible. I'm not a "I read the book" clown, just he became my favorite author because of I watched that movie, and Fight Club is probably his tamest/least crazy story, and they're all similar style. Everyone should read that guy. He's got one book about a guy who makes himself immune to venom, crashes cars to time travel, and keeps having kids with his mother in the past to become immortal. I dunno.

[@x0ShYgIrL0x]

I absolutely love Pahlaniuk books, he’s my favorite author and people are always surprised he’s the “Fight Club guy”. He’s got so many layers in his books that explore toxic masculinity, gender, sex...usually in a very visceral and gross manner but it’s just done so well!! Invisible Monster, Rant, and Choke are my top 3 books ever. I recommend Michael Crichton and Gillian Flynn for similar content, Crichton for the scifi with dark undertones and Flynn for the psychological thrillers if you’re looking for similar authors!

[@jzacrack1978]

@@x0ShYgIrL0x Nice! My favorite by him is Invisible Monsters, Survivor is a close second.

[@wandaaufderspringe2102]

I love A Clockwork Orange!! OMG and I love Studio Ghibli too!! My kids are such fans of My neighbor Totoro. Can I see your Ponyo tattoo!!?? (hm sorry. It's sounds weird or something) My youngest girl just loves this movie!! She has red hair and the way Ponyo acts in the movie, my hubby and I always say our daughter just IS Ponyo 🙈💗

[@mikesilva3868]

Loved clockwork orange too😎

[@mariaclaragarcia5290]

I call my little sister Ponyo every since I watched the movie! She's 30 now and she's still Ponyo :)

[@Aster_Risk]

I just saw Sound of Metal last month and it was really good. It definitely went in a different direction than I thought it might, which I think made the film better for me. Riz Ahmed just disappeared into that role. Also, I was fascinated by the whole thing with Paul Raci who played Joe. The back story behind his career and casting added even more enjoyment for me.

[@jumpedintheriverwhatdidise5499]

Good list! There's something I love about Spirited Away and can't after all these years put my finger on it. It just has this magical quality I can't explain

[@Elizabeth-wc8km]

"A Clockwork Orange" is terrific. Great use of music.

[@crystalshaw8744]

Babe is one of my all-time favorite movies. When the farmer sings, I Will Make A Way For You, I bawl. I also love at the end of the movie when he says that I'll do little pig, that'll do... smile

[@iwilder94]

I've probably mentioned this before, but Fight Club was the movie that made me love film too!

[@paulzenco6182]

I aprove of your taste in movies, great list Emma. Yeah, American Beauty is brilliant. Many of my favourite movies are on that list!

[@NanceDrew]

Top drama movie is The Single Man for me, I LOVE TOM FORD. Nocturnal Animals was great too, I thought of it when you mentioned Donnie, one of my faves as well.

[@valenfr01]

Brokeback Mountain holds such a special place in a heart! I watched it for the first time when i was 12 (yeah) and could not comprehend the sadness i was feeling. Sound of Metal and American Honey i would also say are 10/10s for me. My Life as a Zucchini (French Stop-Motion about a special group of kids), The Assistant (I HIGHLY suggest this one, i'd say it might be deserve entering the honey film list), Blackkklansman, Dog Day Afternoon (my favourite movie ever, perhaps?), Wet Hot American Summer (lol), The Shape of Water, My Own Private Idaho, 20th Century Women and Mad Max Fury Road!! (I take it back, this is my favourite movie ever). Honestly there are so so many more.

[@lilithacacia]

Requiem for a Dream is one of favorite movies. The soundtrack is absolutely beautiful. Some people can never watch it and can never watch it again. I regularly watch it and I cry at the end every time.

[@sunnygreenings4840]

So many of these movies are my top 10 list (I juggle them around depending....) Taxi driver is amazing, Clockwork Orange, American Beauty, Brokeback Mountain. At the top always Boogie Nights in an elite rotation. Emma--love Gyllenhaal here, too!

[@inkladizzable]

Awesome list! One I would definitely add is Harold and Maude. Have you ever seen this? It's amazing. American Movie is my favorite documentary. I highly suggest checking those films out if you haven't.

[@rockmusicforever90]

That's a nice Taxi Driver VHS. Great video I"m the same age as you and yet I've seen 6 of the movies on your list. Here's my Back to the future. Die Hard Batman Mask of the Phantasm Die hard with a Vengence Djanjo unchained Goodfellas Terminator 1 and 2 Robocop (1987) Darkman Sin City Wayne's world 1 and 2 Diacon IV Redline King Kong (1976) Total recall Logan

[@BoopSnoot69]

Kill Bill is also one of my FAVORITE movies.

[@WJames-vk2kp]

Shit, I left those off my list. I LOVED everything about those movies.

[@matt11708]

I liked both kill bill movies.

[@Animebishhh]

AMEN🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@LisaLoves]

Fantastic list. I need to check out Requiem for a dream. Kudos for the Kevin Spacey comment!

[@buncombeshinola2257]

i agree with several of these, and this was an extremely entertaining video. cheers!

[@Nickolanious]

I am so happy to see “Spirited Away” on your list! That movie shaped my childhood.

[@leomfm]

Every single time you say you are a Adam Sandler fan I get surprised 😂 every time
