Please, make a video about different types of dialogues in movies. It really interests me how certain movies have very natural dialogue, while others present a theatrical type of dialogue.

[@tlr9403]

Tarantino :)))))

[@1337megahacker]

and the complete opposite Aki Kaurismäki

[@filmjkk]

And Winding Refn with just staring.

[@NowYouSeeIt]

Interesting. Cause when I used to think black and white movies I always imagined the whole "well listen here see" type of talking. But you look at something like Citizen Kane and the dialogue is very natural. Welles even had actors talk over each other (another innovation he pioneered!). You've got movies like Gone Girl where they meet at that party and talk so sophisticated and elegant and witty that it's almost distracting. Nobody talks like that! The winner has to be the Coen Brothers in terms of realistic dialogue. The Big Lebowski has characters stuttering and mishearing other characters. But that also raises the question: is realistic dialogue always good? I also think a great character is one where you can hear one of their lines and instantly think of them ("shut your freakin gob ok?"). I mean, does any character in any cheezy rom com have memorable dialogue? Not really. But Patrick Bateman in American Psycho? Everything piece of dialogue he says is so infused in his character. I'm just babbling here, hope some of this actually makes sense!

[@Reionder]

+Now You See It Makes sense, yes. I think that could make a really cool video hahah

[@MrTokinedz]

We all know that the greatest movie of all time is Paul Blart: Mall Cop, no doubt.

[@phantomwhite7972]

Y U DU DIS???

[@aj_ono]

No no no, Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 was the single best piece of film ever created.

[@andrewb439]

Kevin James is the greatest actor of all time

[@CHE6yp]

It's like saying Paul Blart: Mall Cop is twice as good as Godfather: Part 1 if you watch it 4 times in a row. Which it is. If you watch Paul Blart: Mall Cop 7 times in a row it's better then Citizen Kane, The Godfather and Gone With The Wind combined.

[@TedWillingham]

[@cjua2803]

this is why I loved interstellar so much. It somehow put my faith back into humanity as we are, as far as we know, the only beings that can protect and move intelligent life and we have the beauty of morals and love even across the universe

[@yannickmiehle]

I think the movie was good-really good, but the visual effects were SOOOOOOOOO great that I think it portreied space better than any other movie before. Its eve-candy for me even if it is not 100% what we would see if we were in space.

[@cjua2803]

***** thats awesome, that actually was my favorite before interstellar. Call me a Nolan fanboy but he has an amazing track record and knows how to keep his quality consistant

[@JDBenavidez]

I could recognize the flaws from the reviews I read after I saw it, but I will forever be happy with have an emotional reaction while actually in the theater. It's great.

[@originaozz]

Yes! Yes! Yes! It's THE MOVIE that make me love movies. Before that I only watch rom-coms and superheroes movies (still do!), but in Inception, I'm introduce to a different world. After Inception, I try to watch movies with from genre, other greats I used to shove off because it looks difficult, and even smaller films. I just love Christopher Nolan and Inception for that discovery!

[@begula6763]

Interstellar is the only movie that has moved me. Twice. And I don't even have a daughter to begin with! The actors are so brilliant it makes me want to cry with them

[@phoenixdream]

Flash backs to studying film making at uni. Our lecturer made us watch Citizen Kane about 15 times. I agree. It's Princess Bride.

[@NickOwens]

That last point is one of the biggest reasons 'Midnight in Paris' is one of my favourite films. I don't at all think of it as the greatest film of all time, but it is the film that got me interested in the art of film in the first place, thus changing my life forever!

[@kevtb874]

I love that movie too. Underrated. One of the most chill, relaxing, comforting movies I can think of. I could watch that opening all day.

[@psycane8462]

Easily my top three, I watched it again last night and it is a movie that's both utterly gorgeous and creatively invigorating to me. I love it so much, glad I'm not the only one

[@RoyalDevin]

[@jaselemons41]

[@princessthyemis]

That is a great movie!!

[@Soggytent]

My favourite

[@kyrstinstoneking4165]

Fantastic movie

[@spikejoseph5482]

Guys the answer is simple, the best movie of all time is obviously "Cool Cat Saves The KIds". Daddy Derek created a truly legendary piece of cinematic history.

[@tiagov.s.2693]

Of course, it depicts the behavior of human kind in such a memorable way, also i'm still bummed that kid bully didn't win an oscar

[@spikejoseph5482]

Tiago V.S. "It'll be fat time for me" a classic line, on the level of "Rosebud" or "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn"

[@yPGzRicardo]

The part where he umped over the candy to save the kids is truly memorable. That movie is a masterpiece.

[@TheWeeCrafter]

"@SwagThug4Lyfe" I expect nothing less

[@MakoTheFrog]

do you think you could make a video analysis of how movies we have already seen can seem completely new and reveal new meaning when we are at different stages of emotional maturity in our lives?

[@maxmurfy8513]

mako no

[@CornerTalker]

I think he touches on "Viewer Theory" here a little. I went to see Rutger Hauer's "Hitcher" alone - by no means a great move. But I had been picked up by a crazy when hitching while young and had an emotional flashback in the theater. The first time I saw "Edward Scissorhands," my reaction was "meh... stereotypical Hollywood insider's cartoonish depiction of the world." Years later, I re-viewed it and then I thought, "Is Tim Burton mocking his fellow Hollywood insiders' views of American life?" That increased its value to me threefold.

[@tvbplays]

The Princess Bride is amazing. You want it to be the best film ever? ASSSSSS YOOOUUUU WISSSSHHHH.....

[@caro7ineee]

I watched The Princess Bride at the perfect time when I needed it most. I was in the middle of my final year of university exams and my friends and I all couldn't sleep so we watched it at 2am and I have never been more entertained or laughed so much at a movie. It really uplifted all of our spirits which is what we needed in a time when we were all bogged down by stress and exhaustion.

[@movieace1295]

You make great points therefore I have always had a distinction between greatest and favorite movie of all time. For example Ace Ventura didn't change anything in movies or is a particularly good made movie. But it is my favorite comedy of all time because it shaped my sense of humor and I love that character. He is so out of touch with reality and doesn't care how he behave among people, I've always admire that.

[@FlorianCalmer]

Jim Carrey is one of the greatest comedic actors ever. I feel like he's not recognized enough for that. Then again, most comedic actors are not...

[@movieace1295]

Florian Calmer Agree, he is not just my favorite comedic actor but my favorite actor.

[@crazedmartinez]

To me the greatest movies of all time is goodfellas ,wizard of oz. citizen Kane ,godfather 2 but not my favorites . My favorites are back to the future and dumb and dumber . Because they make me happy. I once watched back to the future 4 times in a row and loved it.i will never get sick of it.

[@givemorexp]

C'mon, man, at one point in 90's he was most expensive actor for hire in all holywood, that says something.

[@rockhero2274]

How about Escape from New York? Classic.

[@canadude6401]

yes! Original Escape from NY ! One of my faves. I think it was seriously underrated. The sets, characters, acting and general feel of it was done so well. I tirelessly searched for a VHS copy in the 90's, and I still have it. yes, I still have a VCR to play it. I've seen it over 10 times and it actually holds up very well to today's films. Kinda of nostalgic since the World Trade Centre was a key part of the film. "You are the Duke of New York, and A number one!"

[@toddfromgeico9728]

Pulp fiction has always been my favorite because of how different it was

[@liptontee5468]

[@dickpole2607]

[@linasayshush]

I think the greatest movie of all time and the best movie of all time are very different things. I agree that the greatest movie of all time very well could be Citizen Kane, for all the reasons you mentioned, but there are lots and lots of best movies of all time. For me, it's Spirited Away.

[@Torvaxx]

yeeeeees same favorite movie

[@wilhelmcooning]

Good call.

[@jjkmovies]

If I HAD to choose a Greatest Movie of All Time, it would be Lord of the Rings. And yes, I count all 3 as one movie. A close runner up would be The Shawshank Redemption.

[@ayaankhan7576]

I agree with you, sir!

[@mertinho]

3:50 I think that is the most important part. This question can only be answered subjectively. Most of my favorite movies are influenced by the themes they discuss (society, life, philosophy etc.) and therefore have a more special and intimate meaning for me than to someone who is rather connected to movies with astonishing cinematography or someone who is an avid Horror-movie watcher.

[@mertinho]

Oh, and BTW, I can't get over how ridiculous and simultaneously hilarious your Twitter handle is xD

[@humbertoduran8664]

TheMovieJoker Some movies can have psychlogical horror and can affect people deeply too.

[@emmadupuy5331]

My favorite (or at least one of my favorites) is Trainspotting. It's probably one of the greatest representations of addiction ever put into cinema. It's also uses narration perfectly (mostly used to tell what the character is thinking rather than explaining the entire plot). Back to the addiction part, even though it's about heroin addiction, it can resonate with anyone struggling with that sort of issue. The toilet scene basically explains everything. Or maybe I just have a thing for these grunge, underground, 90's films.

[@MrRainbowPug]

It's also one of the few movies that's as good, if not better than the book

[@djkurse9209]

Christane F. is the most realistic movie about addiction. It's a German movie from the 80s, it's actually hard to watch because of the realism

[@johnberk9315]

after I saw We Need to Talk About Kevin it kept coming back to my thoughts for weeks. Such a subtle, brilliant movie.

[@coolbrett]

To me a great film is when watching it is like an experience, and going on an emotional ride, and that can only be achieved when all the technicalities of how it was made are seamless or disappeare, and it makes you forget you're watching a movie.

[@bergonath8851]

Swag Thug 4 Life? Classy.

[@busessuck1]

Props for mentioning O Brother, every scene of that film is gold - one of my favourites alongside, Double Indemnity, The Good Bad and Ugly, The Shining, Running Scared, Breakdown and Bellville Rendevouz

[@dylankrejci9965]

I need to watch it again because I only saw it in my high school English class. feel like the context of how I was watching made me unfairly dislike it

[@MrXXpainkillerXX]

john carpenter's the thing, its the greatest (horror) movie of all time

[@yannickmiehle]

True, I loved this one... And I mostly dislike what the 'horror' genre has become. I cannot see any horror movies anymore because they feel just like turture porn or 'wait for the jumpscare' trash to me. The Thing had a greater impact on me than everything that came after it and its still one of my favorite movies to this day.

[@Amusia727]

Anime was a mistake.

[@MatiasAlric]

I started with anime (series) not long ago. Then I started watching Shinkai's movies, and then I passed to Hayao. That's where I am right now. I KINDA like Shinkai's movies a little more, they really grab my soul and play with it for months after watching them (specially "The children who chase lost voices" because I watched it at the precise moment in my life). They're like closer to reality than Hayao's, and therefore, easier for me to understand. But one of the best quotes i've heard in the past years comes from "Spirited away": "Nothing that happens is ever forgotten, even if you can't remember it." That just blew my mind.

[@mosulemanji]

I stumbled across your channel a month ago, and I really enjoyed your content. A particular movie you mentioned, 500 Days of Summer, was something I've always wanted to see! When you said it helped you with a bad relationship I had to give it a try. I've been off and on with someone, and ever aspect of Tom and Summer's relationship exemplified everything I've been through. The end of the movie made me realize there is hope, moving on is the best because someone else is out there waiting for me. I cried many times throughout the film, tears of happiness, sadness, remorse, guilt, enlightenment.. With that being said, I want to thank you for the advice in watching 500 Days of Summer. Thank you for the great content.

[@anirrelevantchild5516]

In all seriousness though stand by me is my favorite movie. I find myself reflecting on it everyday. Even reading the book it was based upon is like an extension of how friendships can make such an impact on your life. It's got incredible acting, plotline, score and soundtrack, and I even love the costumes not gonna lie. It's odd how the characters have such specifically bad circumstances yet a huge range of people can relate to it, even though it's about boys as a girl I can still relate to it. I feel like my life has changed since I saw it.

As soon as I glimpse a scene from Room even for a second, my eyes start watering and there are goosebumps all over my body. That's a movie that unexpectedly touched and influenced me so much I couldn't stop thinking about it for weeks and I started to see certain things differently.

[@williamshortfilm5818]

Could you make a video about the great WW2 movies, like the longest day, the great escape, saving private Ryan, letters from Iwo Jima, the thin red line, the bridge on the river Kwai, a bridge to far. If you do, please make sure not to put only american movies, but also french movies, like days of glory, "nuit et brouillard", is paris burning, the crime army. Maybe german movies, like downfall, are danish movies, like 9 april.

[@weirddood9917]

Ik im pretty late but wow. I have never agreed more. Whenever i watch a movie that in anyway affects me personally, it will automatically be put as my favorites. Sometimes, i dont even know why or how it affects me but it does. Heres an example. The movie bird box, a movie i never EVER thought would affect me, did. I had that movie in my head for literally a week,i sometimes got distracted thinking about the movie. There are so many other movies that are just such simple movies,yet, i will think about them for monthes. Btw, 500 days of summer is one of my favorites too! Also, this is literally one of the best channels i have ever encountered, thank you for expressing and teaching the art of movies and cinematography.

[@snow_blind_08]

Yeah, totally Princess Bride.

[@ohthewhomanity]

My favorite movie is Disney/Pixar's WALL-E, and I consider it "great" for several reasons--the artful communication of emotions and motives without dialogue, the animation that successfully imitates live-action-filming errors, the frank discussion of happiness vs. purpose vs. fulfillment, and personally, the pure optimism and idealism--the idea that if you give people the chance to step up and do good, they WILL; that it doesn't matter how far we fall, all it takes is one person to believe that the world is better than everyone else does, and we can make a comeback--deeply resonates with me.

[@june.bubbles]

HAHA I would never have guessed you would say The Princess Bride! It really is though.. XD

[@MattEyesOn]

I really appreciate the fact that you put 'Room" in here. Great movie

[@PauLtus_B]

I'm giving it to Inception for being the trigger that really got me into movies.

[@MarshmallowsMolly]

A Single Man is my favourite movie because every time I watch it, it's still new and perfect and it explores so many ideas that I'm interested in, thought about and hadn't thought about but now do. That's why it's my greatest movie

[@lichtfilme]

It's really an underappreciated poetic gem of a film

[@MarshmallowsMolly]

Phreaker1997 The Racist Movie?

[@Eliel20117]

Nick Herb yep

[@Drainojunkie]

Pretty dope, and in many ways it innovated in the same way that Citizen Kane did. Certainly a narrative ground-breaker in the way the stories mirror each other, but if I were making a list of desert island films I don't think it would come up until I got past my top 100. Still a damn good film though.

[@AEthridge13]

Hard Candy really stands out to me. Very simplistic concept, two people in a house. Very few 'action' scenes, but the overall tension of the movie and dialogue (in my experience watching it with others) holds the viewers attention.

[@javiereduardojuarez2107]

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder as they say.

[@alexbryer7892]

"O Brother, Where Art Thou?" is definitely in my top five. IMO, it's impossible to pick an absolute favorite. There are just too many good ones out there. Awesome video as always.

[@Frandelicious1337]

The greatest movie of all time? Don´t be silly, this is subjective. But objectively, its The Lord of the Rings trilogy.

[@troopieeeeee]

[@sleepypanda9928]

2 years ago I was in a rut in my life. Working 2 boring jobs, not really going anywhere, spending my free time daydreaming about doing something cool. I watched Ben Stiller's "Secret Life of Walter Mitty" (yes I'm aware it's a remake, and no I still haven't seen the original) and 2 hours later I booked a flight to travel Vietnam. I've been living and working in Nam for nearly 2 years and I've never been happier. Objectively, the movie is pretty average (Although it has some stunning visuals), but as you say in the video, "it was exactly the movie I needed to see at that time in my life" and it has completely changed the trajectory of my life for the better, so to me it's a great movie! Cheers Mr Stiller!

Thank you for putting 500 Days of Summer in it! I am so happy its being recognized still

What makes a movie great? Did I enjoy the move? [ ] Yes [ ] No

[@Ohaigh]

If you saw, for example, Hardcore Henry, and enjoyed it, it still doesn't make that movie great.

[@grindstone4910]

***** Cool opinion

[@Ohaigh]

+Grindstone Hardcore Henry is an enjoyable movie is what I'm saying. I enjoyed it very much, but that doesn't make it great. Pretty much what I just said.

[@jimzawacki3041]

See, this is why Anchorman is my favorite movie even though the movie itself is meh, but it's because it made me laugh harder than any film before or since.

[@TheDeadDive]

Mr Nobody is i think my alltime favorite movie. I can´t really tell why but it asks so many philosophical questions and also has a great but not to romantic lovestory that i can´t resist watching this masterpiece over and over again.

[@bobbygnosis]

Everyone is wrong. We all know the number one movie ever made. The Shining [1980]

[@_RichardOrtega]

The Big Lebowski is one of my all time favorites. I have many. But a movie that stuck with me because of what was going on in my life was Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Made me feel all sorts of ways.

[@ChickenGeorgeClooney]

How am I supposed to talk about the greatest movie of all time in only 140 Characters?

[@ReSp0nCeHD]

Watched "Blue is the warmest color" a week ago, i still think about it. I absolutly love this movie. It's so great.

[@seant2289]

Personally I don't have a favourite movie, it varies from genre to genre.

[@Arcsinner]

And one's mood

[@Kevin.A.S]

yea me 2

[@tlr9403]

exactly.... depends if im in the mob mood or the science fiction mood always changes

[@Noah-po2cr]

I am so happy you brought up my all time favourite movie: (500) days of summer, that movie changed my entire perspective on love, and what it means to love someone, since it presented a warped fantasy rather than a real truly loving relationship, and I think it was executed perfectly. It's rare when a movie creates an aspect of your personality, but I think 500 days of summer did that for me.

[@johnappleseed8369]

For me, it's Eraserhead

John Appleseed yeah, man, me too. And I'm not a hippie.

[@splashofsparks]

I gotta say, the movie that changed me the most was probably Raiders of the Lost Ark. I feel like I was trapped in a bubble before then - and see a guy's face get melted off was what I needed in my life.

[@txm100]

No Kubrick? :/

[@amandarose2007]

No, thankfully.

[@izabella7174]

The Dark Knight! I think about quotes from that movie at least once a week. I saw it many times back in high school when I started questioning the authority of people in power and it really stuck with me. The more time passes the more I see the ideas from that movie in real life, both in good and bad ways.

[@invalide]

It's obviously the bee movie

[@Keatingeatworld]

That line about movies (that good or not) being great because you needed them to help escape or understand a certain situation instantly reminded me of Stranger Than Fiction.

[@thomashall6733]

i love 21 jump street because it actually spoke to me. when i started high school, i had all these thoughts about what high school would be like. i imagined going to school football games, hanging out at the cool kids lunch table, having a hot cheerleader girlfriend, etc. etc. but to my surprise, i realized high school (at least my high school) was nothing like how the media portrays it. that's why i loved the first day of school scene where Channing tatum and Jonah Hill get their first look at how high school has changed. this scene alone makes them so relatable, and the movie only gets funnier.

[@peppTV]

Does anyone have a serious opinion about the movie "the tree of life" .?

[@TheJewishTr0ll]

It is an intriguing and spiritual experience and masterfully made

[@cinemaspire7258]

It's a visual beauty

[@cti190]

Super pretentious but it works really well.

[@crazedmartinez]

Pretentious artsy fartsy drivel .... And boring . Very very very boring . I don't have a.d.d I don't my intellectual films but That was a snoozer

[@1Howdy1]

For me it was a visual representation of white noise. It could have been great. Not sure what happened, but I think they got in the editing room and the B-roll of practical effects way over shadowed the movie and instead of taking a comprehensive view and cutting a little - they used every practical effect they had. For me, this just further hit the skids on an already slow plot. I'm sure they cut a lot of great dialog and acting to fit in the B-roll, taking away from the the plot and the overall theme - but the effects were awesome even if character development suffered. Made it a good, but not great, movie.

[@clintfischer1057]

At one time, your voice started shaking a really tiny little bit, and then i immediatly thought u would start to cry, and that i would start to cry too, and your were talking about emotions and stuff, and and and wow i just felt like absorbed by your video there. good job btw

[@DoubleNN]

Personally, I don't really like Citizen Kane, I mean it has nice cinematography, good dialogue and I'm sure it was revolutionary at the time, but there's nothing much to it, the story is downright boring and goes nowhere. Some rich guy who started a newspaper and became rich and had marriage troubles and was depressed? There's very little to enjoy about that. I thought that the 'rosebud' thing would lead to something bigger, initially I thought it could have been a gang related thing, or at least some small clue hinting at something much greater, no it was a sledge. I actually felt insulted watching it, this legendary movie with great characters, dialogue and cinematography, hailed by many to be the greatest movie of all time had a sledge as the main plot driving element? Not even one he had much personal attachment to, in fact it was one he neglected as an unwanted birthday present, symbolically showing that he preferred being with his parents than his new adopter. I found it boring.

[@Ekul876]

If his sledge was so unwanted, why did he keep it for so long and keep it in good condition? you might want to watch it again.

[@DoubleNN]

***** Could you explain that to me? I don't really want to waste that kind of time on something that will only bore me. I guess Kane had that empty feeling or whatever, anything from childhood would be worth maintaining?

[@Ekul876]

If I'm getting it right then the film essentially a mystery about the meaning of Rosebud and it is about the fact the only thing that Kane ever loved was a sled called Rosebud. Which is a tragedy that despite all his wealth and fame he never had someone that he loved as much as that sled, as it reminds him of youth where he was truly happy. He fills his mansion full of extravagant things as way to fill the void of never having someone to love and be loved by.

[@DoubleNN]

***** That's boring...
