How do you like a movie it’s written by a transphobia

[@OldSchoolArchery]

Also I just want to add a big thank you for your videos for helping me feel more comfortable with being a horror enthusiast! I feel like there's always been a lot of judgement when I say what movies I like or books and watching your videos has made me feel a lot better and that there's absolutely nothing wrong with loving a bit of horror!

[@PossessedbyHorror]

absolutely not!! that makes me so happy to hear, who cares what everyone else thinks love what you love!

[@leeannalynn55]

Same with me!

[@henrykujak6535]

when i said Saw was art, my brother said i would become a serial killer

[@OldSchoolArchery]

@@henrykujak6535 there's something very impressive creatively when a film or show or book can make you feel completely uncomfortable even when you're sitting safely in your home!

[@morganelizabeth534]

I’m shocked you get that type of flack! I feel like the true crime/serial killer vibe is very common.

[@Uyuayoung]

I'm so happy to see The Emperor's new Groove on the list. I'm not so into animated movies myself but this movie calms me down so much, I could watch it every single day. It's a real comfort movie for me and I'm glad I'm not the only one

[@ohmybibi]

my mom would put on this movie for us growing up and as peruvian kids we were so happy seeing our culture depicted into a disney movie, still my comfort movie until this day 🤍

[@Uyuayoung]

@@ohmybibi Omg that is so sweet!!♡ So you’d say the depiction of your culture in the movie is quite accurate?

[@ohmybibi]

@@Uyuayoung i’m retrospect, yes and no. i think some things they could've made better, for example hiring peruvian voice actors and actually mentioning the fact that they're in peru haha. but other than that i think it's an ok film, some things they got right (the depictions of our villages for example) but i think if it got the same treatment films like coco and moana got, it's potential could've been met.

[@rickyrewind]

My number 1!!!

[@NatalieBelsha]

I forgot that this list included non horror and seeing this comment confused me at first

[@sky-sb5jp]

My top ten favs/comfort horrors are 1. Orphan 2. The Ritual 3. The Craft (if you’d consider it horror) 4. Scream 5. Jennifer’s Body 6. Rosemarys baby 7. It Follows 8. Psycho 9. The exorcist 10. Misery

[@cherrydeli4525]

i absolutely love the ritual and the exorcist too! i could literally watch them any day haha

[@lessismore8533]

Your brave if you consider the exorcist comfort. Lol it keeps ppl on the edge of their SEAT

[@treghitolo4037]

I absolutely love orphan, scream and misery too! But I absolutely hate it follows. I haven't watched any other movies mentioned in your list

[@lucasbaker9549]

[@77Creation]

8 out of 10 is a good list.

[@HosannaReign]

One thing I loved about Thirteen Ghosts is how the Director Never kept the ghosts in dark corners. They were brightly lit with beautifully done full makeup, right in your face! Not a lot of CGI went into the ghosts, just great acting! The people hanging in the cafeteria in The 6th Sense always makes me jump. They look into your flippin' soul! 👻

[@austinwiitanen]

I knew you had amazing taste but am SO GLAD that Thirteen is on your list! It's my second favorite film of all time and I think it's one of the absolute most under-appreciated movies of the 2000s. Even as a gay man this movie managed to relate and stay with me for years for countless different ways and is the film I feel defines my teenage experience the most. It's an absolute 10/10 film for me (not to mention gave us babies Nikki Reed, Evan Rachel Wood, and Vanessa Hudgens.)

[@twinkerbell9866]

thirteen is so underrated it breaks my heart. truly a movie that i adore and has stuck with me since my first ever viewing

[@ccap3211]

@@twinkerbell9866 same. I think teenagers today would still relate and enjoy it. Idk if I would recommend it to 13 year olds though. It definitely put ideas into my head that definitely shouldn’t have been there. Lol

[@franceskacostamagna1036]

It was co-written by Nikki Reed! Same director as Twilight as well (who was the other co-writer). As she was Nikki’s step mom at the time.

[@bby.kaylamarie]

[@adam-l74]

You’re Next and It Follows, I was obsessed with those two after my first viewings. The Shining, Halloween (78) and Demons are my top comfort films.

[@OldSchoolArchery]

Been so excited for this video since you said you would record! I love the longer ones you do!

[@kennedyhenderson5631]

You’re videos are so comforting for me ❤️

[@catnado]

Thank you so much for including where these are streaming! ♡ This list is fire!

[@karinagreen6878]

So rarely see love for Thirteen but it is one of those films that has stuck with me since I first watched it when I was also 13 (we must be pretty much the same age - there are a lot of overlaps in our favourite films and like you say, you tend to favour the era you grew up with). I have a lifelong love for Evan Rachel Wood and Nikki Reed because of this film. I remember watching it and simultaneously feeling like I wanted to be them but also feeling very unsettled by it all.

[@ccap3211]

Omg same. I loved it and thought they were so cool but it also freaked me out a bit. I was 13 as well. I don’t think it was a great influence on me. Lol

[@ohjordyn8312]

I also watched this when it came out when I was thirteen! I credit it with the reason I originally tried self harm so that’s not so great, but it was still a really great movie that I rewatch all the time.

[@Kenziepuff]

Congratulations on 200K! I've been watching you for years and you're one of my favorite reviewers. You deserve even more subs 😁

[@VolcanoGroupie]

LOVED Sunshine! Thx for including it in your list!

I’m so happy you did this video, I’ve been curious abt your favourite non-horror movies for a long time so this was so cool to see. Great video

[@angiebarry6950]

So pumped for this video!!! You have such good taste, since the year began almost every film I watched was one of your recommendations!!!

[@DanielNewm]

Amazing list! You mentioned so many of my favorites as well. You have excellent taste ;)

the sixth sense was the first movie to traumatize me as a kid cuz I watched it way too young and I haven't seen it since. I need to rewatch it!

[@stupidevie]

you are truly one of my favorite youtubers, every video is just wow..

[@marinlove999]

My boyfriend and I just watched "Last Night In Soho" and we were in love with the movie, such a creative storyline! I think this and "Ready or Not" are my favorite recommendations of yours. We also liked Triangle. Thank you, Sarah! :)

[@WoahLookAtThatFreak]

I really liked the first half of the movie but hated the second half, the ending especially was a bit disappointing

[@wildcardmeredith]

Found alot of good suggestions here. Thanks for the recomendations!

[@apenaro0813]

I just want to say thank you so much, your channel has opened my eyes to so many horror movies that I love so so much (Starry eyes and The loved ones specifically) and has made me fall in love even more with the genre, one of the best horror content creators out there

[@kallo.patrik]

Last Night In Soho was such an amazing ride i wish Edgar make more trippy movies like this

[@kaitnico3339]

I love coming to your channel for movie recommendations because we have such similar taste in movies! Whenever you recommend a movie I add it to my list because I know it will be good 👌

[@esoteric76]

Great list! Love the way you describe the reasons for why these movies mean so much to you. Regarding Snowpiercer, I hope you're watching the TV series because it takes the story in so many ways that the movie only hinted at (it's definitely worth your time!) Would love to hear your take on it!

[@sexyyredsection]

this is easily one of my favorite vids you’ve ever made! love hearing about your favs

[@NightOwlandtheMoon]

I enjoyed your list very much! Great video!

[@spitefultounge]

I am SO GLAD you made this video!!! Watching Sunshine and my mind has been totally blown - I don't know why I skipped it when it came out because the cast is amazing and the story is crazy good. The flashes - that effect is probably more unnerving than most horror films manage to achieve now. 10/10 recommendation

[@morganelizabeth534]

Over Covid in the last couple years I’ve finally watched all of the horror movies I was so afraid to watch when I was little: Silent Hill, The Ring, Jeepers Creepers, Hostel, the Hills Have Eyes 🙌🏼 it’s been a ride.

[@morganelizabeth534]

AND- the Hole!! It’s superior. Very underrated. I found it on a deep dive of the internet when I was in my master’s program- don’t know how. Not goofy at ALL. Obsessed. I watched it again a few months ago just for fun.

[@morganelizabeth534]

Okay THIRTEEN! Sorry I keep watching. I wrote an analysis on this in grad school.

[@morganelizabeth534]

Okay NO. I keep commenting & you keep doing this to me, I should just wait till the end but it’s a long video 😂 The Devil Wears Prada was my comfort movie throughout ALL of high school!! I can quote the entire thing, I watched it nearly every day after school. It has brought me so much joy.

Great list! I was also obsessed with all the YA dystopian books! Have you tried the Charlie Higson series “The Enemy”? Its a longer series about the zombie apocalypse with teens in London…so good! Excellent blend of pure horror and teen angst. Another books series to check out is the Scythe series by Neal Shusterman. Published in 2016 but reminded me why I love teen YA dystopias!

I still remember watching Interstellar with my dad the first time. We bought it and watched it in the bonus room. One part of the movie I realized I was sitting edge of my seat, I look over and he’d done the same thing. We both laughed and relaxed back. We don’t have a lot of memories so I take those little moments. Funny little memory, but it’s a special movie and so darned beautiful. Love your list and channel. 😊

I was also 13 when Thirteen came out and I was obsessed with it. I thought they were so cool. Looking back it probably wasn’t a great influence on me. I was definitely acting out in ways similar to the film. Did you know that it was based on real life experiences in Nikki Reed’s life?

I am so SO glad that you mentioned Shutter. It scared the hell out of me, but by the end I was in floods of tears, such a sad story. Just like The Eye and Dark Water, so much Asian horror is less about defeating a big bad beastie, and more about recognition of trauma and grief. Great video.

I think it's the generation gap, lol, because I consider myself a movie buff but the 2000s aren't my strongest era as my 2nd child was born in 2000, so I was a little busy.
