Cinefix is that one channel that makes me realize just how few films I've watched

[@tiaanengelbrecht9378]

I always have a IMDb tab open when watching CineFix's lists. I just keep adding films to my watchlist as the video goes on. Currently have about 250 films that I still need to see and I couldn't be happier about it.

[@loganwendt778]

Honestly. I'm a cinephile, but I feel like I've only seen less than 20% percent of these movies

[@lazystonedmonk438]

Ralph Parker its the opposite for me. This channel is good for recap and recalling movies I’ve watched before. I am competing their movie lists though

[@TheTabaK23]

Tiaan Engelbrecht you’ve got the right idea

[@leomilmet854]

Me too!

[@thomasgrindol9124]

Please do a video on the best genre defining films. Films that truly capture the ideas and themes of the genre they’re in.

[@Advent3546]

Thomas Grindol I feel like with the Western and Sci-fi lists they'll take genre one by one. I am hoping for an action movie list soon.

[@brucebanana4486]

Thomas Grindol that would be really difficult for defining genre for each horror, scifi, western, musical, comedy, superhero,crime, etc.

[@reverendharrypowell2390]

Genre defining for horror: the exorcist

[@LucasBradley]

I'd argue Carnival of Souls as the most genre defining for horror. It is often cited as the most influential horror film in history...

[@vb2388]

Best Documentary Films should also be done..

I think the entertainment culture, especially in America, caused me to forget that films are an art medium. Those last movie clips were mesmerizing

[@jackfirmin5814]

yay you're right! love that comment...ah cinema is one of the greatest art forms there is (saying this as a painter), but we could push it further. ah how I love good movies, fantastic.

[@neutraltoxic]

stop watching american films that are mainstream enough to get tv adverts? theres tons of amazing american film that slips under radar every year

[@RabidArtists]

Mubi is pretty good, is kind of like FilmStruck when that was a thing. I'd say 70% of films in theater are commercialized and uninspired, those are the money makers and keep theaters open. CineFix does a pretty decent job covering a lot of great films. If you get the chance to go to a film festival near you, that's another place to see inspiring non-mainstream films :)

[@RabidArtists]

@Barbara Mulvaney good source for this is to look up legit filmmaker channels like Indie Mogul, Film Riot, Cinema Sins, etc, and see which films they suggest. Those are usually how I'm directed to the right ones to watch. Since you can't possibly watch everything, you need to find the 5% of gold mixed into the 95% of mediocrity. I work in film so it's easier when you're surrounded by it for sure, and my parents like really cheesy films so I ignore most of their suggestions haha. Hope u can find good sources!

[@j.2512]

art is entertainment and viceversa

Roundhay Garden Scene was so boring I walked out of the cinema

[@geotechms]

This honestly made me laugh. Thank you 👍

[@tubeuser2222]

This is hilarious because (to take your joke seriously) the movie would be over before you'd even stood up from your seat, so you'd literally have to become bored within one second of watching. Which is sadly the exact attention span we as a society have developed.

[@dirtthrower1998]

@@tubeuser2222 This is funny because you are explaining the joke within the sentence "Roundhay Garden Scene was so boring I walked out of the cinema" as a way to condemn our society on how our attention span has devolved to such low spans of time.

[@tubeuser2222]

@@dirtthrower1998 as a kid i used to plan snack and bathroom breaks to sync with the 20 mins of commercials they shoved down our throats every hour. Now i get pissed when youtube makes me sit thru a 15 second ad i cant skip. And a majority of ads are designed to fit a 5 second window. I hate ads as much as the next guy but our attention span in the mainstream is more rapid fire than ever.

[@pingunooty]

Dog star man is legitimately brilliant and awe inspiring, despite it being unwatchable

[@pingunooty]

@Long Change i wrote that years ago and was trying to justify putting dsm on this list while also trying to justify the haters. Dog star man is an interesting work of art, but not particularly watchable as a film, since it's basically just flashy imagery for 70 minutes

[@MytePro]

Enter the Void!!! I thought I died. Thank you so much for putting this where it belongs.

[@VonBlade]

KZbin comments : We want originality dammit! Cinefix : Here you go then, originality KZbin comments : Nooo. We meant originality we approve of, that conforms to our preconceptions.

[@krautgazer]

Most truthful comment in here.

[@Gravitynaut]

VonBlade You're not wrong. Story of film is in that comment tbh

[@louisnick5660]

VonBlade It’s hilarious how a fair majority people who are vocal about how they love a medium tend to sing the praises of a set catalogue of works. Lots of people like to brag about listening to classical music, but all they’ve really done is listened to part of the 5th Symphony and think that it makes them an expert.

[@strewtherrolson862]

I appreciate it when people think something special to me is total dog shit, it just makes it more special.

[@waldemarsalzkafer7089]

Louis Nick It seems very fitting that you don't even feel you have to mention who wrote that symphony.

[@Krimson5pride]

two kinds of people in the comment section 1. Amazed to see so many new and unheard movies. They are the amazing ones 2. People who are hurt to see so many movies exist out of their knowledge and they are claiming these lists to be absurd, crazy or pretentious, even mocking the way they always list movies no one ever heard of. And this is the annoying one

[@maskedathiest]

you forgot about the 3rd type. those who feel others are wrong for their own opinions. clearly there is no way to define original in film. hell the narrator said it himself. if that were the case, then the first time anyone did anything would be the most original of its kind. the problem is the definition of original. in this case anyway.

[@Krimson5pride]

True. I believe an original film is something that's groundbreaking and inspires a trend. Batman (1989) might not be a true adaption of Batman franchise, but it presented the superhero in an intriguing way that played a crucial role in the development of Batman: the animated series. If I have to pick the most original movie of all time, it would be Citizen Kane. You can see the movie has inspired even some of the modern directors like Martin Scorsese and Quentin Tarantino. (this is coming from a guy who watches movie for fun, so i m probably wrong, but that'[s my opinion)

[@720pgang8]

Or people who simply have differing opinions as to what should be on the list. Y'know, because people are allowed to have those. KZbin comments are for discussions, after all.

[@Krimson5pride]

How about a 4th category - people who fail to see the point of the comment. I can explain it to you, but then it is going to defeat the whole purpose of making it.

[@jackfirmin5814]

yeah but wouldn't it be great if people would be polite and shit? we forget that this internet is reality now, and we should be trying to act stable more or less.

[@TankTaur]

FRIENDLY REMINDER: If you say "that film is bad and pretentious", and you have not actually SEEN the film in question, then YOU are the one being pretentious! Don't make this mistake! Also, remember that nothing is original, so making a list like this is difficult, and the picks will be entirely subjective (like many lists like this one are anyway).

[@hd-xc2lz]

You forgot to mention the kneejerkiness of kneejerky Emperor's New Clothes analogy makers for the entirety of avant guard films.

[@LadyCaSh45]

i firsthand judged a few as pretentious then read your comment, absolutely right

[@SwerveNation]

What do you mean"nothing is original " ? There is alot of movies that's original with a story of its own. For example last year's Den of theives has original Shootout scenes,tense story build up,Character development. Its nothing like other movies.

[@expatphotographer8745]

"FRIENDLY REMINDER: If you say "that film is bad and pretentious", and you have not actually SEEN the film in question, then YOU are the one being pretentious!" False, and an example of not knowing what the word pretentious means, obviously. Pretentious: attempting to impress by affecting greater importance, talent, culture, etc., than is actually possessed. I don't see film X. Film X is said to be brilliant because patterns were made by scratching during processing. Saying I'm being pretentious is wrong. It is simply a fact that that claim is false. Saying film X is pretentious is true: that's the definition of the word pretentious.

[@defaultoandores626]

@@expatphotographer8745 Fine. Then you're a dickhead. Definition should apply now.

[@Gravitynaut]

I absolutely loved seeing two oft-neglected cinema giants, Satoshi Kon (Paprika) and Stan Brakhage get some due attention. However, I still am waiting for the day you finally namedrop Don Hertzfeldt and his wonderful animated short films, from the crude absurdity of Rejected to the ambitious Meaning of Life, his contemplative and experimental Bill trilogy (It's Such a Beautiful Day) and most recently, World of Tomorrow which contains more novel high concept science fiction ideas in 20 minutes than the past few years of Hollywood blockbusters put together.

CineFix undoubtedly makes the best lists on KZbin.

[@henrypatterson3021]

Please do a list of best Documentaries next!

[@allenrubinstein3696]

They need a series of documentary lists. Unfortunately, the avalanche of great docs that people never get to see (I average three or four per year out of hundreds barely released) makes it hard to make such lists meaningful. Maybe a list of most ENDURING documentaries would have to suffice. Or the most impactful docs - those that actually altered the scheme of the subject matter they tackled. Those would narrow things down.

[@dantebad]

No reason to do it. We all know Cinefix will put F for Fake in the 1st place.

[@jarreldoomis3502]

[@ErdTirdMans]

You've approached this topic with so much thoughtfulness and presented such compelling arguments that I am extremely excited to watch all of these films. I'm disappointed that most people will shrug this video recommendations off as another listicle, because this "list" was really a meta-analytical video essay in five parts. Fantastic.

"Perfect Blue"? Constantly shifting reality/gas-lighting to the point where the protagonist sees herself as a non-corporeal spirit. This spirit form seems to come to life at several points, having its own will. Not only is the protagonist suffering from a breakdown of reality, so is her attacker! The stalker takes on the victims persona from time to time... Even at the end, after the stalker is in Hospital, there are hints that our hero is not really living in our world.

I did some looking into Stan Brakhage, who directed Dog Star Man. I wasn't able to find anything about psychedelic use, and it wasn't that popular yet by 1964, so maybe he hadn't tried it. Brakhage was apparently a film studies teacher. Matt Stone and Trey Parker of South Park fame were his students!

[@RaySquirrel]

Ian Krasnow I went to CU Boulder where Brakhage taught. So they take every opportunity they can to shove Brackage in your face. He was also an actor in Matt Stone and Trey Parker’s first film, Cannibal: The Musical. Known as Alfred Packer: The Musical in Boulder.

[@James-nv1wf]

Perhaps some people don't expect a thesis on the title digging into every film ever made on the topic with narration of its entire premise. Occasionally less is more. Once a beautiful thing is described and dissected it often time looses something, something personal, bringing the subconscious into the conscious, taking that connection into the masses. An unknown lyric ironically at times sounds better than knowing the word, kinda thing.

[@DrRestezi]

Very pleased with this list--especially to see "Enter the Void" and "Dog Star Man" featured so prominently, as these are pure cinematic creations, utterly unique in their execution. Leos Carax is another French filmmaker criminally underrated and overlooked. I think that if one Hollywood film could make the cut it would be "Wizard of Oz" which I can't imagine seeing when it first came out. 2001: Space Odyssey probably deserved an honorable mention as did Sans Soleil by Chris Marker which really blew my mind. As did Road Warrior which I saw at a sneak preview weeks before it finally got a wide release. In truth this list could have 20 or 30 worthy candidates.

Sara Dickson I feel like I've been seeing this same comment on a lot of their uploads lately... maybe it's a sign the channels beginning to go a little too far ups it's own ass and needs to constantly be defended by fanboys.

[@znk0r]

What I'd like to see is the complainers come up with their top 5 list that pleases everyone.

[@harrisonfranks3079]

Pure crap. All these movies suck.

[@adjoures]

LOUIS LE PRINCE! thank you for recognizing him.

[@claudiarosier8951]

People should give a try to Stan Brakhage, I loved "window water baby moving". That guy is something else. Also, his children have said that he was obsessed with his films, they loved to participate in them because it was the few moments when he spent time with them. Not to mention he manipulated the film very manually, imagine! with paints and weird chemicals, it amazes me how long he lived considering this.

Haven't seen the whole video yet, but could you list all the movies showcased during the video inside the description box? It'd help a lot in my quest to become a true cinephile!

[@ArcanePath360]

I haven't done any research, but can you tell me how to be an expert without using effort to learn anything

[@TheTelepathicKid]

every single title of the picks (and the clips of everything else) is in white just above the bottom of the frame.

[@MrRenegadePhoenix]

I made a list of every film they ever included in a list if that helps: boxd.it/1coZ2

[@skylinefilms123]

The titles are in the description

[@jasonschuler2256]

skylinefilms123, Only the 5 movies picked for positions are included in the description. They're asking for ALL the movies shown in the video, which are not in the description. Please actually read the comment completely before replying.

[@srkrishnaswamy]

A fine analysis, great to know collectibles, thanks, gentleman!

[@TimmahDee]

Enter the Void is an amazing, crazy, movie. Love it! Glad its on this list.

[@bluewafflesgreenthumbz1349]

I hate to sound gatekeep-y, but to all the commentators complaing about this video being pretentious, please stick to Watchmojo and Stuccman, etc. Some people don't want to get too deep into analysing film, or if they do they want to stick to a relativity surface level reading, which is fine. Everyone gets different things out of movies, just don't complain when others want to delve a bit deeper. (God that sounded retentious)

[@LFC303606ACID]

I'm afraid they went too deep, up their own arses.

[@koletok4646]

what the fuck is stuccman

[@ziggyplayedguitar4201]

@@koletok4646 He's probably refering to Chris Stuckmann.

[@everythingisawesome2903]

Stuckmann is the literally the worst reviewer out there.

[@SwerveNation]

@@everythingisawesome2903 how? When he talks about the movie's story,character development, he is honest and doesnt ride the bandwagon for overhyped movies. He even admitted he was disappointed with glass he doesnt sugar coat anything.

[@AnyoneCanSee]

The first film of Roundhay was shot in my hometown of Leeds. The same guy shot this on Leeds Bridge. He invented film, then he got on a train and disappeared. Seriously no one knows what happened to him but he invented the medium of film and then was apparently murdered or abducted by aliens or who knows what. I'm not sure why this isn't more widely known.

You guys are truly doing the lords work please never stop

[@andrewlewis414]

I’m happy that you’ve given shoutouts for brilliant films. I think I saw a clip from Bergman’s Persona, Chris Marker’a La Jetee, Fellini’s 8 1/2... But I didn’t see anything referring to any of Alain Resnais and his film. From Last Year at Marienbad, Hiroshima Mon Amour...but specifically je t’aime, je t’aime. I’d love for you to bring him up, or one of his films, in another video. The guy deserves as much recognition than any other director.

[@noneofyourbusinesss93]

This is fascinating!

[@IvorPresents]

2001 was groundbreaking.

[@tuckertoden]

Finally someone doing list videos and doing it REALLY WELL. Thank you for not underestimating my intelligence or attention span!

[@arturosalas7270]

enter the void is such a work of art! definitely one of my favorites of all time

[@oldDNU]

Dog Star Man looks deeply annoying.

[@RaySquirrel]

Erik Dresner watch some of Brakhage’s work and give it a chance. Play some music while it’s on if you feel it works.

[@CorbCorbin]

RaySquirrel He influenced a generation of these film students, that would use stock footage, altered and cut, in odd ways, then mix it with images of naked women, dancing with strobes and other shapes and colors projected to a screen behind psychedelic bands. The original Pink Floyd lineup would have long jam sessions at discotheques in the last third of the 60s.

[@TorontoIam]

LOLLLLLLL

[@sdovas]

Check out his "The Act of Seeing With One's Own Eyes" for his deeply disturbing examination on the art of documentary. Eat a big meal beforehand.

[@Bryce_C.]

eduardo cardona it's so good u have to be stoned to enjoy it??? Sounds crap

[@wcarcass]

I missed Shinya Tsukamoto’s IRON MAN, and although mentioned I think Jodorowsky and Terry Gilliam movies should go in a category yet to be defined.

[@r0z3d]

This channel makes me love film so much

[@mattsmith9907]

I've been to Roundhay; around 15 miles from my home. Pretty cool to live so close to arguably, the birth of film.

[@jordanleach4937]

Please do a list on Best Musical Scores of All Time, how music enhances the emotion in a scene

[@jalves6494]

Under The Skin is the most terrifying, most unsettling movie ever made

[@1990kurder]

Wow,I did not expect this video to be so well done as it was.

[@BlueGlow26]

Great video! Some very cool films that I wish to watch

[@feihung87]

Enter the Void recognized. Faith in humanity restored. Thanks for that

[@br00talKidHxC]

i mean its a pretty regarded and mainstream film

[@feihung87]

Ricehugs I feel ya, just where I live in Indy I couldn't get any of my boys to peep. I bring up Gaspar Noe and their eyes glaze over. But hey, their loss. They weren't in the rave scene like I was so they are prolly are weary of the psychedelic aspect. It's one of my favorite films ever and I connect with all the visuals, so I was so happy to see it on this list.

[@jackfirmin5814]

yeah thats about it, "rave scene" "connect to visuals", gosh how I started to hate that the last years... and yeah xtc is the worst and most boring drug there ist.

[@everyvillainislemons7583]

Ricehugs You don’t sound like a pretentious person at all. I’m hoping that you’re joking right now.

[@Kagemusha08]

A few more original gems: Haxan-It's a documentary about witchcraft from 1929, which was already kind of unusual. But it has these insane recreations in it were it tries to capture the hysteria of the medieval religious beliefs and has a kind of self-aware, humorous quality to it at how absurd and ridiculous the shit that medieval folks believed in. Underground-Insane epic that tries to tell the story of the downfall of Yugoslavia through an surreal, comedic crime saga filled with Slavic polka, slapstick fight scenes and tons of sex and violence. I recommend seeing it very, very high.

[@JackOfen]

I think you mean Hexen or Häxan. Or at least write Heaxan. Because those words all are words for witches.

[@rodrigovalerosancho2234]

Haxan and Underground, two of my favourites. Good to see people with taste and knowledge.

[@pabloplato]

great list, very pleased to see a lot of films that have left a deep impression on my psyche show up on this list, as well as a few others i have not heard of before (must find The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie & Paprika!) thanks CineFix :)

[@THEROOK2007]

Great editing !

[@shneenbrunglesworth9526]

I don't think Roundhay Garden Scene should count

[@cinemaspire7258]

Michael Cole it's more a first example of film

[@jasonschuler2256]

Cinemaspire, I thought it was going to be an example of why "original" shouldn't just refer to new styles of filming, kind of like an argument to absurdity, but then they actually included it as the no. 5 spot. I agree that it shouldn't have been in the list.

[@shneenbrunglesworth9526]

gnarth d'arkanen I think original should refer to an idea. The idea of a motion picture was around before Roundhay Garden Scene and it was just a new medium. Plus, it shouldn't be considered a film. If I take a 3 second video it's not considered a movie.

[@HrabeSowir]

I don't think I'll ever see any of these films, but interesting video and fascinating debate nonetheless.

[@seletotsira2012]

Brilliant, awesome editing

[@euxider5239]

I appreciate this. I don’t want to mess with this list, I don’t want to put my two cents other than thank you for giving so many options of great film I want to see and or see again. Cheers!

[@jonathanalien3367]

I do think "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari" deserved mention - the first horror film AND the first cult film, certainly one of the first to eschew reality, (in favor of Expressionism), plus, a twist ending!

[@phoebexxlouise]

meshes of the afternooooooooon still my favourite short

[@williamkyburz]

Thanks for the list. There are a few you mentioned that I will put on my list to watch. Peace

[@matthewhiggins604]

I think all of the videos that were shown in between the Top 5 are worthy of taking a look at... I've only seen and recognized probably a fourth of them... probably less. I thoroughly enjoyed this video.
