Complete Blu-Ray Collection 2021!

after over a month of delays it is finally time for my epic 2021 blu-ray collection video in the year 2020 i was stuck at home for most of the year so i bought a bunch of new movies likewise people generously sent a bunch of movies to me in my fan mail so my collection has expanded a good bit since last year and last year's video was about three hours long so buckle up this is gonna be a long video so let's get started [Music] hi my name is sean and i love to talk about movies way too much and this is the video every year where i do that the most as we go into this i'm going to keep a running tally of the number of blu-rays that i own i'm bad with math so if you're up for the challenge count along with me and we'll see who's right at the end of the video as a point of reference i'm going to count each collection as one blu-ray so even though this is the dark knight trilogy for me this is one collection so it is one blu-ray for my count if that's not how you count them you can count it the proper way and at the end of this video you can let me know what that number is enough with the introductions you came here for my collection let's get started with the numbers and first up is eight mile the eminem movie with brittany murphy in it this is what i received in my fan mail i had seen it when it first came out in the theaters but i hadn't watched it since then so it's kind of an interesting story especially if you're familiar with eminem's career it's not fully autobiographical semi-autobiographical you kind of got to get a flavor for his life who he was and as someone that like brittany murphy was this huge star for a bunch of my formative using when it came to falling in love with movies seeing her and it's a little bit sad because she did die before i believe she even turned 30 years old so uh a movie that brings it back a lot of memories even though it's not one that i've actually seen all that many times next up we have 10 cloverfield lane a just a really solid paranoia thriller that ties into the cloverfield franchise interesting little franchise because they're all such different movies but they have kind of this behind the scenes mythology that ties them together some people don't like the end of this movie i was totally fine with where they took it towards the end so a movie that works for me on all the different levels and i i believe the guy that directed this one is working on a new predator movie which because this is so good actually has me a little bit optimistic then we have 10 things i hate about you a 90s high school version of the taming of the shrew and this is my personal favorite high school movie people ask me what time what's your favorite high school comedy it's this one right here it's 90s high school stuff i was in high school in the late 90s i have fond memories of going to go see it while um visiting my sister when she was in college and it's it's a great little cast it has both heath ledger and joseph gordon levitt in it in lead roles so you have joker and the batman batman joker and robin of sorts kind of robin in this one so really nice solid piece of 90s nostalgia for him then we have 21 and 22 jump street solid solid comedies from lord and miller that's just jam-packed with their energy they're these directors that just bring so much to the table and then jonah hill and channing tatum were so willing to go along with it and see how bananas and bonkers they could go with it they took what should be a really bad idea for one of these revival reboot deals and somehow made something fresh and funny out of it while the same time having nice little callbacks to the original series 21 bridges the uh chadwick boseman thriller from a couple years back and um i really enjoyed the movie it uh just solid simple little kind of police thriller not like the biggest flashy film but one that i i enjoyed enough but one that in light of his his tragic passing kind of says because he didn't have all that many movies all the ones that he did make now stand out so much more because there are those little pieces to remember him by and that represented something different about what interested in him and so he had several biographical films which we'll get to one of those in just a second and then kind of in the middle of all of it you also have 21 bridges move this right along to the movie 42 also starring chadwick boseman very cool um story about jackie robinson the uh of the baseball player and deals with of course racism and what it was like at that time so just has built all these kind of obstacles that he has to overcome while being a sports movie and a movie that has a great performance also from harrison ford in it doing something different from his usual leading man swagger he plays an old man in it and so you get to see him actually kind of act but this is was my introduction to to chas chadwick boseman he done other things but this was the one where i went to go see it and it's like oh who's this guy i want to see this guy more stuff what stood out to me is just how good of a relationship that he had with his wife it was just so natural and organic and it didn't feel like a movie couple they just felt like real people even though he's playing this larger-than-life character in the history of baseball and they were so normal and i loved that about the film and his performances and we have 47 meters down my wife loves bad shark movies and therefore i have to watch a lot of bad shark movies and i i get i guess you call them guilty pleasure but the 47 meters down franchise for me it's just a goofy set of these shark movies of people being trapped underwater there's some lapses in logic in them but they're they're good enough at kind of having this claustrophobic vibe to them while watching or watching a movie where you're just waiting for people to die then we have 300 the movie that really put zack snyder on the map now he did dawn of the dead before this which was a hit people loved it but 300 was like a smash hit that really got people talking open doors for him to kind of do whatever he wanted and it's one of the most pure testosterone film filled films of all time where you combined this very simplistic plot with the fantastic zack snyder aesthetic that captures the graphic novel so well and then also you have this ethic and worldview of the spartans that just meshes perfectly for this brutal very specific type of film that i absolutely love every time i watch this one i'm like why don't i watch this movie all of the time when that leads us to 300 rise of the empire a movie that's enjoyable enough it's nice to have a little bit more 300 type stuff it functions both as a prequel a mid quill because it takes place part of it side by side with the original film and then also a sequel to 300 but it's not about the spartans it's about the athenians and part of the formula that made 300 so good was that spartan world view that brotherhood amongst them that all of them knew that they were going to die and they were totally fine with that and leonidas would die for his people and he would they would die for him all of them without a second guess and the athenians aren't nearly as cool as that so when you have the brutal aesthetic it's still fun to see all the carnage but without the athenians it's not quite the same thing and also the simplicity of the plot of the original one is also why it worked and the sequel because it's a sequel prequel mid quote is a little much more complicated there's a lot more going on so it kind of has a lot of diminishing returns well it's nice to have a little bit more 300 action we have 500 days of summer and so this was mark webb's first from the movie that he did before he did the amazing spider-man films and he's great with these little character studies so when you watch amazing spider-man 22 i've said this many times but the interactions between the two leagues andrew garfield and the snow are fantastic and i would love it if he did a spiritual sequel to 500 days of summer did another one of those types of movies that's about kind of like a couple and even get andrew garfield stone and i would love to see that movie because 500 days of summer is so good and it's just about this relationship and it's a little bit offbeat a little bit quirky in the way the story's told but uh very engaging from beginning to end and then we have 1917 this is a fantastic war film which at first glance it could seem like it's a movie that works entirely based off the gimmick because it's done as one of these single shot movies but it finds a way to use that to its advantage just pull you into this event and the brutality of it the types of frustrations conflict that would happen and so just an incredible achievement that they were able to make it work as this single take movie but beyond that it's also just a solid engaging war film on its own terms that will bring us to the a's first up with the ace is abominable i just really like this movie this movie is very popular in my house right now my baby loves it she's very in to music and is very responsive to the music inside of films like she'll go uh oh anytime scary music plays and she'll start clapping when it's heroic music it's pretty cool the way babies pick things up but even before she'd seen this movie i really dug it just when i first saw it in the theater and um it tells a compelling enough kind of journey story but also has great use of music all throughout the film and sound design in very cool kind of ways then we have the alfred hitchcock collection with five of kind of his essential films i don't talk about alfred hitchcock a ton on my channel because i'm not as much of the classics guy my strong suit the thing i'm good at is talking about modern big gigantic franchises but that doesn't mean that i have not seen alfred hitchcock's um films before and i haven't seen all of them but i've seen all of the classic kind of ones and that's essentially what is in this set right here if you're wondering my favorite of the bunch north by northwest is the one that i normally go to it's a little bit more spy spy thriller type kind of stuff with it um but uh you know of course we also have psycho in here vertigo rear window and the birds birds is the one to me that's the the the oddity of the one the one that i'm not doesn't attract me here as much as the other ones vertigo is another really cool one in there but i i'm not i'm not as strong with that type of thing to have as interesting of insights as some people other people who are smarter than me would have then we have american assassin something more in line with my intelligence level and pay grade it's actually adaptation of a book that uh i really dug the book but both of them kind of they work better when they're like a training movie or training book rather than when it gets into the main plot of it both of them kind of slow down once they get past the training phase of it but um you know kind of in a certain sense a bit of a forgettable action revenge spy-ish thriller type movie but at the same time like a very well-made one and you got michael keaton in there and dylan o'brien so they're very watchable actors and so see i like these types of movies for me this is stuff that's just really easy to turn on watch and have a good time with we have american hustle this one came out in the middle of that little phase where david o'russell was just like on a hot streak and he was just kind of putting out these oscar bait movies they were just doing fantastic with critics being uh they were both doing well with critics getting awards and making a lot of money so we started getting these just wild crazy star-studded guests and this is certainly be one of the examples of that and so just like a fun kind of movie about this scheme that was going on there's like a real life story so so pretty cool interesting and always fun to see a ton of those actors together then we have air force one kind of uh die hard on air force one is essentially what it is where gary oldman is this terrorist that takes over air force one harrison ford plays a president that has a military background and basically the president has to fight the terrorists and save the day there's a great piece of 90s cinema that um another star-studded cast this is actually what i watched election night back in november when uh everyone else is worried about who's going to win others my guys looking to be my guy i was like i'm going to pick my president right here harrison ford battling gary oldman daryson air force one that's my president moving right along we have the alien anthology this is a fantastic fantastic set right here um where for every single movie in here there's a like feature length documentary about its making and even like on alien 3 i like the features about the making of the movie way more than the movie itself because it goes through the whole history of all these other potential options everything that went on wrong behind the scenes like you know you start to understand why the movie turned out the way it did and why david fincher won't talk about it why he didn't participate in this great stuff like if you like behind the scenes stuff you've got to get like the full anthology deal for the alien movies i love this set right here every time i watch the movies i stop and i watch all the special features for the movies it's very cool stuff and some of my franchises i plunk them all together so then moving right along we all have um sort of prometheus in this little section right here which is not alphabetical but it fits in with based off alien franchise throughout together so we have the avp double pack right here that's both of the alien vs predator movies and for each of the movies it has the unrated cuts so some people asked me like hey dude is there an unready to cut these movies i wish there was an unrated cut of the first one there is there's an underrated cut that has a little bit more violence of the first one it's like cgi blood it doesn't really change it doesn't really make it better but there is an unrated cut um on the two pack that i have that gets a little bit more that blood that you think you need in a alien vs predator movie i'm kind of a defender of the first alien burst predator movie it's not great or anything like that but i think it's a nice um piece of fan fiction for the two franchises the second one no no no no no no no no no we have prometheus once again these are out of order because it's part of the franchise and some of the franchises i plunk together it's totally random doesn't make a lot of sense but hey okay it's my collection it's how my brain works i got prometheus after decades of fan fiction and mediocre movies ridley scott returned to the franchise to do a kind of prequel to the original alien and um i don't really like it it's it's a well shot and has some great actors in it but the story i don't like it i think it's too complicated the mythology is too complex is i just um i've watched it i watch about like every three years every time hoping am i going to see something different this time and i don't and then i've watched by now of several kind of reviews of it that really articulate like okay i'm not alone in this this movie's bananas in all the wrong ways slightly better but only slightly better alien covenant a little bit more to the point has more of the stuff that i like but even when it's the stuff i like it feels like it's copying the other movies it's just kind of hey if we do a cover of alien and we do a cover of aliens maybe people like that more and i did but at the same time as soon as it becomes a prometheus sequel i was like oh more of this stuff and pretentious and so really frustrating that um the direction that mr scott decided to take all of them we got aladdin the original one from back in the day i grew up with this one i saw in the theater i was a target age when this game i believe in the fifth grade when this one dropped and so i had the cassette they actually had the cassette tape with the original lyrics to arabian nights with kind of offensive and um so i this i have such fond memories of watching this movie singing along to all the songs and now i have kids that dig it too but the version that they dig actually even more is the remake uh i went into this one pretty skeptical guy richie didn't seem like a good fit i just i dug the movie i really dug it and then i took it home and i didn't think my wife would like it and then she liked it even more than i did my kids love it so this has been on police for my baby picks what movies she falls in love with so this one was on loop in my house for a couple of months a couple of months back elita even though this is still in the wrapper it's because i bought like a digital copy of through voodoo so we actually re-watch this one pretty frequently it's one of our like go to late at night time if we're in the mood for like sci-fi action this is the one we put on and uh a movie that james cameron was deciding whether he's going to do either this movie or avatar back 15 years ago obviously he didn't avatar but he still wrote the script for this movie and i like this one more than avatar it's more interesting it has its flaws it has its problems but i'd much rather see a lead or two rather than avatar two and elita sets up a sequel in a world with more stories a lot better than avatar did anyway we'll get to avatar in just a little bit just one of the things that makes this movie so good is the lead character elita is one of the most likable protagonists in the last couple years but in an odd way not in any of the normal ways it's like she's just so innocent while being also awesome this is a great mix and the actress that i'm i'm not sure that i've seen her too many other things did a great job with it so i hope i don't think it's gonna happen but i hope we get a sequel to this one and we have american psycho there's only been a few movies that i've walked out of one of them was american psycho now i have gone back to watching since then it wasn't inherently just that i didn't like the movie it's that i went to go see american psycho when i was in the theater with a girl that i went on a date with from youth group church youth group that is not a good idea uh american psycho is not the best movie to take a girl that you just met at church that you're trying to impress now to be fair she was the one that wanted to go see it but around the time that they had the the threesome with the prostitutes that that was what we uh we we left a really interesting movie especially in light of the fame that christian bale's had over the last 20 years seeing a young christian bale in this bonkers movie where he's a serial killer pretty wild and fun stuff so um and kind of trippy you don't know what's real you don't know what's not so so pretty pretty cool stuff then we have american ultra this is one i received my family i haven't watched yet it's been on my radar actually since i first saw the trailer for it but i haven't watched the movie yet unfortunately along those same lines another one a mother's part up here another i received in my fan mail i haven't gotten around to watching it unfortunately hopefully soon armageddon i love this movie i talk about taco bell movies on my channel it's kind of my phrase that i use for guilty pleasures but i don't feel guilty about the movies that i like so i call them taco bell movies they're movies you know are stupid they're dumb but they're incredibly entertaining so they're the fast food of cinema and for me one of the great taco bell movies of all time is armageddon amazing cast just getting to have dumb fun saving the earth with this bonkers plotline about oil drillers being sent into space to blow up an asteroid before it destroys the earth with all of michael bay's cheese fantastic fantastic stuff while being incredibly stupid we have angel has fallen this one's a fun one for me because i actually got to interview the director uh this is the first time i ever got to do a formal interview as a movie critic person and he um was mel gibson's stunt double on lethal weapon two this is pretty cool and it wasn't like a five minute junket it was like a 15 minute interview we talked about his career the movie and everything like that so very fond memories the movie itself is a little bit like the fugitive except with mike bannon as the lead inside of the has fallen franchise so it's a little bit generic but generic in a way that i like it my type of generic action movie we got the angry birds movie my kids love these the first one a little bit thin on plot no shortage of energy yeah it's aiming to entertain children and i can tell you as someone with children it successfully does it second one i actually liked a little bit more because the plot was a little bit more to the point and like this rescue mission and spy stuff so i engaged with that a little bit more than kind of the first one just kind of seemed like a little bit all over the place it was just trying to set up gags second one more clear objective some kind of character arc some reveals seemed like i was trying a little bit more to have traditional elements that make for an engaging and entertaining film annabelle the first one is actually directed by the um visionary director of mortal kombat annihilation i actually watched mortal kombat annihilation just a couple days ago and it is so unbelievably bad as a big studio film i don't know how the guy was allowed to direct more things but you can tell he didn't get that much better because this is not a good movie either it just feels like if you put this creepy doll up on the screen won't that creep people up no it requires a little bit more to it than that so one of my least favorite of the movies within the conjuring universe then we have the annabelle creation the second annabelle film huge huge huge huge increase in quality and um kind of tells the origin of the annabelle dog has a couple of these girls that you actually care about this family and this whole backstory interesting stuff happening and it's from the director who went on to direct shazam so you have a guy that knows a little bit more what he's doing as you kind of go into it so especially after how bad the first one was this was such a pleasant surprise to kind of kind of come full circle or not full circle but a big comeback pendulum swinging quality on this one brings us to annabelle comes home the third of the annabelle movies and another solid one um that it was interesting about the annabelle trilogy itself is that they're all different they're not really none of them are really like any of the other ones and so this one's in the conjuring universe but it's kind of the more the tamest it's like about a babysitter and there's some it's a little bit not light-hearted that'd be the wrong phrase for it but lighter compared to what the other ones do maybe a little bit more fun as best you can be fun because it's dealing with these high schoolers and what kind of goes down with them and doesn't have quite as many super disturbing stuff so like a nice little addition to the trilogy as well as the conjuring franchise as a whole and it has the warrants in it just a little bit because it takes place at their home so it's a nice little touch any given sunday now this is one that i actually saw in the theater when it first came out and if i'm not mistaken it was the first time i ever saw um a man's privates in a movie theater before so that was quite the experience oh i don't know if i lost sound there but um my i might have just lost sound because my computer went just why would my computer go to sleep isn't plugged in should be huh not sure what that was about anyway so that was a nice little experience like being the team like whoa they're in a gym and that is a fully naked man but uh just in general um it's kind of a sports movie dealing with not just the winning of the game side to it so kind of a little bit more layers to it i haven't watched it in a while i haven't rewatched it since i got the blu-ray but it's one that's on my mind because especially has a great cast to it so i need to re-explore that one then we have apocalypse now that i don't know if i missed something but it should have a sleeve for this because it's just kind of open and wild i don't know why it's like that that is very well but apocalypse now the final cut multi-disk extravaganza version that has like two versions of the film making of documented everything about the insane production that was this film and everything that went into it and um so one one of these movies that's just iconic mesmerizing and what's interesting is that george lucas wanted to make this movie like it was one of his passion projects was to make this movie and so you just wish that you could see that alternate reality like what would george lucas have done with apocalypse now along those same lines um like what would that movie have been like and what would have career turned into if he didn't get locked into star wars and if he had been the guy that had kind of been this other path that had made this happen but you know this is kind of one of those movies that i haven't seen as many times as some other people like i don't i don't get wrapped up in these types of films as much but every time i watch them they're they're just interesting to just watch such autumn takes on a genre and we have aquaman steel book now i i've you know talked about the aqua win movies and dcu movies quite a bit i had a lot of fun with this one it's campy it's goofy um so you know certainly i got a digital code right here let me pull that one out save that for later um but i i have a lot of fun with it it's certainly goofy i understand why some people can't get into it but the cheesiness is kind of what i enjoy especially when the dcu cert movies that are like super serious to have other ones that are as corny as that one is unapologetically i i think that's kind of endearing we have the a team a movie that i never like as much as i think i should because it's a big action movie with you know cash like bradley cooper and liam neeson teaming up to shoot machine guns i watched the a team back in the day growing up so i'm like the target audience for whatever reason i'm just never quite connected with it as much as i probably should or for whatever reason and i can't pinpoint it i have a specific reason just kind of the way the universe has played out for me but um i try and watch it every few years to try and win me over and then we have the massive epic version of avatar with um multiple versions of the movie deleted scenes um a thousand discs in it because the movie is so unbelievably long so avatar is a weird one to me because i love james cameron's movies and of his actual movies this is my least favorite of the bunch he did piranha too he is the director that's not really a james cameron movie that's a roger corman movie then he did terminator and since then of the movies since then where he really wrote it was in control avatar is my least favorite but it's the one that made a bazillion dollars i'm also resentful of the movie because i love james cameron so much but he got sucked off and thrown onto pandori and he hasn't left yet that's just frustrating to me because there's even if you know his four avatar sequels turn out to be fantastic the opportunity costs of all the things that james cameron could have done in that 30-year block between when titanic came out and when we're going to get the last of his avatar movies there's so many things he could have done but instead he got like prowls of announcer whatever happened that he decided to make a thousand avatar movies it's frustrating to me because because i love his movies so much that i i just wish that perhaps he could have gone in a different direction with it but that will bring us to the bees at the beginning of the bees is baby driver edgar wright's movie from just a few years back that's just a really fun bank robber driver movie with a great style to it because it's so music based from the character himself being into music but then the way it's edited is tied to the music very cool stuff star-studded cast everything about it is cool cool is a movie a word that you would want to use to describe baby driver back to the future trilogy these are some of my favorite movies of all time uh even some of my earliest memories are of being at someone's house and being seeing back to the future stuff for the first time be like what's this movie i gotta check this one out i remember when parts two and three came out in the theater being excited for them seeing the first one and it was the first time that i'd ever the situation of the movie comes out sue comes out and the trailer for three ran at the end of back to the future too and like so excited you're one of the old this is going to be amazing i can't wait to check that one out so such fond memories great movies and then there are multiple different blu-ray sets of these ones that just are just jam-packed with special features that's almost to the degree that's frustrating because they keep coming out with new special features like here's the test footage here's the stuff with eric stoltz before they recast them with michael j fox all that kind of stuff that um but there's so much stuff to cover bad boys trilogy now um i i went into this one that came out a year ago like i don't know long delayed sequel no michael bay that's probably not going to be very good and then i thought it was the best one of the bunch i've never been the biggest bad boys fan but the you know the second was just such obnoxious over-the-top uh michael bay action movie stuff that kind of fun and i remember seeing in the theater the first one is ta leone and it's it's oh it's like a more restrained michael bay because he didn't have you know the budget and all the ability to do whatever you want to do like is now um is it's kind of because the third one is one of the better ones and it's over so much time it's become a trilogy that i'm more interested in now than i ever was before which i would not have expected that bad santa um i haven't watched this one too many times like a really trashy uh christmas movie about it's a despicable this guy played by billy bob thornton he's great at playing those types of rules so it's really funny but in it like a way that you know you want to take a shower after you watch the movie and we're about to get to the batman section we're gonna have all of these batman movies right here um whether they fit in if the dark knight is in the batman section so first off we and i put them i believe in release order but i don't you know i don't know how dates work so it's probably not actually in a proper order so batman the movie from 1966 i grew up watching the old batman 66 so there's a lot of nostalgia for these ones for me and um you know the movie itself it really is just a feature-length version of the tv show but excuse me apparently i shouldn't drink this carbonated beverage between letters because then i start burping while talking about batman but anyway yeah anyway moving along we have the batman anthology of that set of films that continuity starting in 1989 that's one of the one of the first movies i remember seeing in the theater was batman 1989 and that was a pivotal movie for me because it kind of started my my fandom my love of movies i collected all the cards the trading cards related to it i actually have them right over there i still have them i've shown them a bunch of videos before and all the full set for both batman and batman returns i remember i remember when all these movies came out batman returns was one of the first movies i remember the anticipation the build up to it coming out when batman and rob batman forever came out i was still a defender of even as got campy and goofy but it was a little bit more restrained uh jim carrey was on the top of the world when it came out so everyone loved that then i remember being in high school by the time batman and robin came out and being like oh no they tell rollers or why is he on ice skates why do you have a credit card what is this and so i was that it was able to grow up with the movies of being a seven-year-old when batman came out and then being a high schooler in me like it was uh one of the first times i remember being disappointed in the theater be like oh no movies can be bad this isn't good another important one for me at the time batman the animated series for the most part tv shows are at the very end of this one but because this one was batman i put it in this all my batman stuff together so batman the animated series the this is my favorite animated show of all time at least the first three seasons there's the original run and then they took a break and they came back with a new title and they packaged it all together and that it's kind of a different series it was called the new adventures of batman and robin or something like that it was called batman the animated series when it first ran but that original run is my favorite animated show of all time and i think it holds up the storytelling is mature the it's actual orchestrated music which is incredible that they did that and so it's very stylized just an incredible achievement that it's a thing that actually exists that they allowed for a children's show this is amazing and when it came out i was the perfect h i was that like 10 years old when it debuted their target audience and then as i've grown up i've been able to show it to my kids and grown up with it so then we have batman mask of the phantasm the movie version of batman the animated series i was one of the 10 people that actually saw this movie in the theater when it came out opening weekend my sister and i went to go see it movie wasn't a big hit or anything like that a lot it was kind of forgotten uh by a lot of people and then as times past people like that's a great batman movie that it's a really good version of the character that was actually released in theaters that just because it was the version of a tv show it just didn't do all that well when it came out but it's actually really good then we have batman mystery of the batwoman this was actually my introduction to batwoman was this animated feature came out quite a few years after the original run of batman mitchells but it's in continuity with all of that and they did several movies throughout the years this was the last of them and of them i think this was my least favorite of the bunch they kind of changed the style as time passed and i don't think they changed it for the better we have batman beyond the return a return of the joker one of the things was cool about that bruce tim the dean pauldini batman animate series universe that they created is that it ran for about 15 years or 13 years or something like that they're kind of even still going back to it little ways and they had all these kind of offshoots that they did one of them was batman beyond where the version from batman the animate series they had him as this old man in this techno punk futuristic world with a new batman and when they made a movie it was actually very serious and dark like where this movie goes that it's even though it originally debuted as kind of like a show for kids it is anything but just a show for kids then we are movies and tv shows for kids then we have the dark knight trilogy i've done tons of videos on them fantastic set of films of course christopher nolan's one of my favorite directors of all time batman's one of my favorite characters of all time and i i i um saw memento in the theater and loved it and jumped forward three years and found out that guy was going to be doing batman and what mind blown and so and then of course the movies lived up to that anticipation and excitement of course as they're highly praised and regarded um you know i a lot of people just kind of really highlight the dark knight it's the great one i love batman begins as well and my issues with the the dark knight rises but um you know obviously fantastic movies and the there's a ton of great features on them i i like the features on batman begins the most it seemed like they went into stuff that was most interesting especially like um christian bale's transformation he had lost 50 60 pounds for the machinist right before he did batman begins so he's like 120 pounds like six one six to 120 pounds and then he gained 100 pounds to do batman begins but they gave too much weight so they didn't lose weight a bunch i love all that stuff and they're talking about the fighting system that he's interesting interesting stuff batman v superman dawn of justice ultimate edition i have i've always been a defender of this movie i've always been positive even the theatrical version when i first saw it was like i dig this and then you know as people kind of pointed some stuff i was like okay there are some flaws here okay i i like batman and superman so seeing them punch each other in the face and okay that's okay but there's flaws here and then the ultimate edition fixed some of those flaws um but i think it's an ambitious film that's flawed and i get why some people don't like it think it's too grim uh there's a group of people that i think give it enough credit for the things that it does well there's a bunch of things that i just don't think there's like some of the the way that batman has written the alfred and bruce wayne dialogue of course the warehouse sequence there's a lot of really good things in this movie there's a lot of things in this movie so there's a lot of things that might not work and don't work or don't come together gotcha i understand but i wish people would give it more credit maybe once we get zack snyder's justice league a month from now six weeks from now one i don't know i don't know what the date is i'm i'm in 2020 2021 my brain is fried all the time i don't know when when we are what's going on pretty soon we're getting zack snyder's justice league and i'm i'm wondering how when we see kind of more his completed vision how his trilogy of dc films properly done at least according to his vision how they'll sit sometimes when you see how things something's completed it elevates the previous films or other times it highlights the flaws we shall see and then we have a batman ninja i haven't watched this one yet unfortunately so it's i have it it's right here um people ask me about it from time to time i haven't actually clicked play on it we have batman family matters yeah i've got kids so lego is huge in my household they play the lego games they play with lego we watched lego masters and so when you combine lego superheroes you know anytime i see these movies on sale at best buy i buy them because i know my kids will like them and they'll watch them so the the ones that are not the theatrical ones i don't i enjoy as much because i was another production value but they're actually all pretty clever in the way that they're put together moving right along we've got the beverly hills cop trilogy now i've actually watched all these movies and written a ranking for them i was ready to put it out for when coming to america was gonna debut in december and then i watched them wrote all the notes and then it got pushed back four months or something like that so i think the movie comes out in two weeks or something like that once again i don't know what the date is so i have that video is coming and if you're watching this future it already happened but um i i love the original one and i think both the sequels are pretty flawed in their own ways and each of them have something about them that's still kind of endearing a lot of people just really poo poo on the third one and i get that rewatching it maybe i was going in knowing how much everyone hated and how much i but as i was watching it i realized i watched it a ton of times i was remembering so much more of it than i was thinking i was going to when i when i first pushed play on it so um but the original comedy action buddy film classic the other ones are not that no i don't i don't think even three's dreadful though okey-dokey then we have big trouble in little china a one of these quirky john carpenter movies that is such a cult classic it's designed to be a cult classic it's got you know kurt russell as the action hero but there's all this weird mythology martial arts stuff and a bunch of stuff that influenced the mortal kombat games like i you know i i played the mortal kombat games before i watched this movie and so then when i watched this i was like oh they they pulled characters blatantly like in the way they're visualized everything blatantly out of this movie and just plopped them into the mortal kombat games and so if you like john carmen if you like kurt russell this one is one you you've got to check out and birds of prey now right you might be thinking we've already had a couple of these as to why i don't have my dceu movies all clumped together in one batch the way i do did with aliens in the way that i'm going to do with some other franchises it's because i clumped my batman movies together so since batman is clumped together then i couldn't put batman with dc that's one of the actual big reasons it gets complicated when you do this stuff anyway maybe i should just do alphabetical birds of prey i dug it i know a lot of people hated it a lot of people had problems with it i liked kind of the chaotic story structure out of order with harley quinn as this unreliable narrator practical stunt work i don't know people were angry at it i i wasn't blade trilogy i actually like all these movies the third one is bad it is a bad movie and so um it's tricky for me whenever i do kind of some like worst comic book movies of all time i'll throw blade trinity in there because it's fun to crap on the movie but in reality it's like a that's that's maybe an actual guilty pleasure for me of like i know this is bad but it's a really fun bad it's a loop around kind of bad you see like a prototype of um deadpool in ryan reynolds hannibal king but beyond that just um a great distinct comic book franchise it's different from everything else it was also kind of cutting edge when it came out with the franchise because rated r it was heavily influenced by like asian martial arts films but it's also a horror film but it's a comic book movie total genre blender and um yeah awesome and they had a different director on each of them made them have a distinct flavor to it now that led to problems with the third one but there was a lot of problems with the third one yeah like guillermo del toro did the second one so anyway blade runner the final cut i've said it many times before i'm not a big blade runner fan um people always think i'm going to be i always think i should be but it's a little bit too metaphoric and allegorical for me philosophical excuse me that uh diet coke is coming back up again um these bees are bringing out the burps but um even like the way it ends in there's you know basically a character just reciting poetry as they die i'm just not wired for that so there's interesting ideas a fantastic cast amazing production design but it the ridley scott's brain is different from migraine 2049 actually i liked a lot more because it tackled a lot of the same themes and ideas but packaged it just in a way that was just concrete enough that it resonated with me a lot more had a little bit more emotion to it so i really dug that and we have the neil blumkemp collection like a whole booklet of his movies and i haven't seen any of them i've seen zero neil blum camp movies um i bought this wanting to watch them and i'm just always so busy with rankings i have to do and all sorts of stuff movies i'm watching for videos that i'm doing that watching through his movies just randomly it just hasn't i haven't had the window to do it yet and he hasn't put out a movie in since elysium which i don't even remember when that came out or since chappie which i don't even remember when that came out but it was years ago and so he hasn't had a big movie since i've had this and since he's since i've been the ranking guy so i've been waiting for him to put out a movie so i have a really good reason to finally watch these and do a proper ranking of them in bohemian rap city a good crowd pleaser of a pseudo tale of freddie mercury where they kind of make everything up to just make it a crowd pleaser and play queen music uh you know it's fun enough i was pretty frustrated by it because it just felt like they took this very interesting real life story just squished it into the formula of crowd pleaser bio pic template that frustrated me but it is a crowd please it's fun it's not it's not bad i was confused when it got nominated for oscars and maybe that's what kind of lends me towards my contrarian perspective on it we got a couple of movies uh bond cop bad cop one and two canadian films i haven't watched them yet i got them in my fan mail a couple months back and um i just haven't gotten around to watching that i got a lot of fan mail and i don't know it's tricky for me because i always want to check out these new things different things for and send them all kinds of stuff more uh classic films but because i'm trying to watch things for rankings then i just get so backlogged at times and it's especially in 2020 2021 where movies are so weird and in flux and schedules changing i know it's just really thrown me off my game and made it tricky for me to cover some stuff this is leading us to a big gigantic chunk here the bond chunk that is super frustrating for me so as individual not even individual there's so much in here so got the pierce brosnan mini collection right here of blue rays those are the bond movies that got me into bond movies because they're the ones that you know came out when i was of age to be able to see them in theaters because uh was it licensed to kill came out when i was seven so i couldn't see that one i wasn't going to see him student theater but by the time golden i came out i was like perfect age and then of course nintendo 64 was my high school um every time i'd go to a small group youth group for church we would play goldeneye on some of the nintendo 64 at the house we were at it was such fond memories of that one and then we got our actual these are all kinds of wacky order our daniel craig movies all as individual ones but kind of some pretty crappy like this my casino royale is destroyed it's literally from half price books i bought it used it's like destroyed and so in our collection here in my family someone sent me the four case so i'm pretty excited to actually when i watch them leading up to no time to die watch them in pristine non-wacky um version of it so i'm pretty excited about that one to see the what like what they look like on my new tv with a proper player and then i have the standalone for license to kill i really dig this movie um one of my favorite bond films i really timothy dalton or because goldeneye came out the one was most recent when it came out that was like on tnt tbs all those stan channels on loop that i was most into it was most like golden i would be licensed to kill and so just naturally someone kind of getting into the franchise watched that one all the time and then after all these individual ones and collections i also bought very recently the james bond collection that has dr know through um uh spectre which is frustrating because i already owned a bunch of these ones and it even just bought the pierce brosnan collection but i was trying to figure out um how to watch the sean connery in the roger moore films what was the most economical way to be able to watch those ones because sometimes they're on streaming services sometimes they're not and i was like okay i just got to get the collection it's even though i already own a bunch of these movies bought the collection so that i'd have all of them and that was it's just price-wise the way to do it so so frustrating but that means also a nice collection and so probably by next year i'll whittle this down but i wanted to tell my frustrating story about why i have a bazillion james bond blu-rays in this video so it's part of the way that one worked out so then we have the born identity collection and this was kind of funny i bought this this collection of the the blu-rays came out as jason bourne was coming out so it's right i think i think this is the case um that so this in it has a sleeve to put your blu-ray for jason bourne but it didn't come with jason bourne um because the movie was just coming out in theaters it's so um basically i put my pulled my my blu-ray out of my steel book that i have of this one to put into this collection which is designed to have all of them in it but i do then separately have the jason bourne steel book and so that's my my collection even though the collection came out before you could buy this one there's maybe a little bit too many details on that one with bridesmaids i really dig this movie it's uh paul feig kristen wig film and the one that kind of launched a couple of different career careers in both uh melissa mccarthy as well as rebel wilson started and kristen wiig as a movie star took off because of this film paul feig became kind of big time director guy i think it's really funny i think it's heartfelt uh and it just kind of does everything right now i think it's critically quotable rewatchable all of those things oh did we lose audio i don't know why is it doing this my computer it's causing me trouble it's plugged in so it's not supposed to cut out but it is so i don't know if i have it plugged in wrong because i'm a dummy or what but here we go bumblebee the transformers movie just a few years back i thoroughly enjoyed it it's e.t with transformers in the 80s all kinds of fun and uh it has cool action it has much more of a character based story i totally dug it okay we're like a thousand hours into this this deal and i'm only through the bees i might need to speed up a little bit moving forward kicking off our seas is captain underpants you might be wondering where's captain america he's in the m's for mcu they've got their whole section that is in chronological order captain underpants dreamworks movie based off the writings of dave pilkey something like that dave pokey right my kids love dave pilkey but not captain underpants actually his dog man books they have all of them every single one of the guys books but the other thing that actually has gotten movies captain underpants that um they watch quite a bit they it's more clever than you'd expect considering it is entirely poopy pants type humor but um yeah there you have it then we have cars classic pixar franchise but also kind of known for if you're not if you're one of the age that grew up with it if you didn't grow up with cars you normally think it's one of the weaker franchises inside of pixar and i would agree with that the first one the first one's pretty good but also seems a bit shallow compared to some of the other ones the other two not so good we have casino in 4k people ask me all the time if i'll ever rank the martin scorsese films i don't know it's just tough because he's got 50 years worth of movies is like 25 films a lot of them are three hours long that's 75 hours of movies i have to watch to do the ranking and unlike with marvel or dc where i would get a bunch of videos out of it whether all the different sub things i can do with those ones it's not the case with martin scorsese it's really just one video and i don't know how it would do so um maybe some i want some day i want to do find some way to do something with martin square scissors because you guys asked about all the time of course he's an iconic legend just trying to find a way to be able to justify how much time it will take that i can't spend on something else but so some people in through my fan mail have sent me a bunch of his movies i haven't seen casino yet so i can't offer my thoughts on this one the other ones as we go through this i can offer my thoughts on them when i have seen them if catwoman the iconic classic let's try to we'll even go with that one yeah it's infamously one of the worst superhero movies of all time that abandons the actual interesting character of selena kyle in replaces her with a lady that works at a makeup company that's run by an evil make-up company lady woman it's just a terrible concept for a movie that's executed just as bad then we got a pair of charlie's angels movies that were kind of in a way iconic as they were just big gigantic hit films while everyone knew they were ridiculous but they were a fun kind of ridiculous with the rights cast at the right time mick g at the right point time in his career they're just very lively basically live action cartoons as adaptation of the 70s tv show and um they're dumb fun i don't think i watched either one of those ones in the theater when they came out um i'd kind of seen little things here and there i don't think i had fully watched them in their entirety until i i did um for my ranking of the charlie's angels movies um whenever the new one came out actually my buddy griffin who do i podcast with i just happened to be in california right before those movies were going to come out and so he had been sent the studio sent him the movies he's like you can just have these i'm not going to watch them so he gave it to me and that's how i was able to watch him which is was kind of cool you have chef it's uh john's favorite film and he's done a bunch of these smaller he goes back and forth between big franchise like the biggest franchises there are and then these smaller films he's actually really good at the smaller stuff too and so um he did this one after he done kind of a couple of big blockbusters that weren't received as well and it's a really nice little heartfelt film that feels a little bit like him processing his own failures the plot of it seems a lot like it's um um the movie's an allegory for his own career then we have the chucky child's play movies these ones weren't ones that i had watched as much growing up back in the day i'd seen little things here on t t tbs on cable and i remember the specific sequences from like switching through the channels they freaked me out as a kid that they weren't ones that i had grown up watching as much like the friday the 13th films or the original halloween and so this is a franchise i've enjoyed more since starting my youtube channel my buddy cody leach is a huge fan of them so he kind of pushed me to get into them a little bit and then i've ranked them uh one or two times i don't i don't even remember um but um it's just ones that especially the um anyway i i i've had fun with them and even the remake i i dug it enough because it was it i think it works on its own terms as its own thing and it's almost hurt by the fact that it's a remake and if they just released it as a movie that was an homage to the original one like yeah we're absolutely heavily influenced by child's play it's similar but a little bit different i think it might have been received better by a lot of people we got christmas story the classic christmas story one of the ones i watched all the time growing up and so many quotable memorable lines but my wife didn't grow up watching it and her family's never even seen it i think i don't think her mom's ever seen which is interesting the way we all have the different movies that are part of our family tradition that we watch every christmas and it's different for every family likewise christmas vacation my wife hates the vacation movies because she thinks that clark is kind of a scummy guy because he's always like staring at other women so she hates these movies but i grew up watching the vacation movies in particular this one and so normally every christmas i watch this one on my own after she goes to bed i have christopher robin the winnie the pooh live action adaptation of sorts that's kind of the hook treatment where he's grown or christopher robin has grown up and has to rediscover his childhood love um interesting little film that captures a lot of the magical winnie the pooh but at the same time i think kind of exposes some of the maybe the fault of it i don't know if that's the right word but when you try to extend it that the pacing that type of humor for a feature length that's actual feature length i think you start to feel it a little bit this cinderella a great little adaptation of cinderella that finds a way to be true to the classic animated film while really adapting it doing something different with it makes its own distinct mark it's a very elegant direction from kenneth brennan got coco the pixar film from just a few years back and every time i do my pixar ranking people in the comments section are furious because i have this at like number 13 14 15 on there and they're like how dare you it's a great movie i agree i gave like a b plus and i stand by that and my wife loves it that's why i think my wife said this is her favorite of the the pixar films my kids get into it so i've seen it a bunch of times and i stand by everything i said my original which i'm almost positive i gave it a b plus very fond of this movie pixar's just really competitive there's a lot of great movies in that franchise we got cold pursuit this is an interesting one because it's um liam neeson doing what liam neeson does his typical type of movies but it also tongue-in-cheek it's like making fun of the movies while absolutely just being one of those movies collateral i've actually never seen this movie um i've been meaning to i constantly want to put it on and then it just hasn't happened yet but i hear great things about it and it's you know a turn for tom cruise doing something different but i haven't watched it then we got the commuter uh one of the more generic of the liam neeson actually throws i like those movies they're all watchable for me this one in particular is forgettable because it's essentially him remaking his own deal as the non-stop it's the exact same bag of tricks same director same concept he's a guy on a train or he's a guy in a vehicle that has to figure something out before it's too late and you know non-stop was it was a plane this one it's like a commuter train same exact deal it's a weird that they did that like i'd love to know the story about why did you guys do the same movie twice i don't i don't get it we've got conair fantastic 90s action movie cheese i love this movie um so many fond memories of watching it back in the day that um of the classic trilogy of nick cage 90s action movies this is the one that i've rewatched the most it's unbelievably stupid and that's what makes it so much fun because it knows that it's stupid it takes this ridiculous premise it just goes for it and is so much fun and they are conjuring one and two i i i think just some of the best horror movies of all time james one is great with the fran uh with with the genre and the these are the two best movies in the conjuring franchise and it's because james wants such a good director captures the time period so well the lead characters feel like actual people not movie characters because they based off of real people that were out there that are ghost under exorcist people so i just great practical work big fan of the two main conjuring films they have cop land it's actually james mangle director of logan he did uh this 90s cop drama was fantastic cast with uh stallone in the lead back in the day i saw this one in the theater because i'm a big stallone fan i was right as i was getting into films and was able to start go saying r-rated movies on my own right around when this one came out and so i've always been a fan of copland and then just as james mangold has become james mangle the guy that directed logan and ford versus ferrari this has become kind of an even more interesting film because it's such a great cast and it feels like the forgotten james man gold movie but it's it's it's all the stuff that he's been good at all these years but he did it 24 years ago or something like that got cowboys versus aliens the john favreau movie that caused him to reevaluate things and go off and make the movie chef but um a movie that it stars it has uh indiana jones harrison ford himself and daniel craig james bond teaming up to battle aliens as cowboys and it's from the director of iron man not nearly as fun as you would think it would be it's it's like the movie that feels like it has all the right pieces and something's just missing it's classic example of that like you're not sure like why is this uh not better than it is it's one of those movies then we got crawl a real nice little creature feature that on paper is just a generic people step stuck in a house with a you know gator trying to kill him in the middle of a storm with water rising but it does everything right it's not trying to be you know the fantastic cinema just a movie that knows what it is and delivers everything that you want from the premise then we have crazy rich asians a really good romantic dramedy that can be funny at times it's romantic you like the characters and the conflict in it feels earned it doesn't feel like one of these ones where they just kind of come up with this contrived gimmick for the plot of the movie the drama the conflict comes from actual cultural differences and so it's just a very rewarding film to watch they have crazy stupid love another one that's um a movie that was like the right cast at the right time with steve carrill as his movie career was starting to launch ryan gosling and emma stone as they were kind of becoming these familiar faces everybody knew and just another romantic dramedy with a bunch of kind of classic little elements to it that uh moving around we got you we're only to the seas and we're already reaching the point time where my brain is getting frightened i start like mumbling over words and stuff like that crouching tiger hidden dragon this movie came out right i was a perfect frame of mind to just appreciate this when it came out because i was a huge fan of asian cinema in the late 90s i had a jackie chan fan web page and i was like huge into chao young fats john woo hong kong movies better tomorrow the killer hard-boiled and actually in the intro of my this video right here there's a shot of chao young fat kind of going downstairs shooting a gun that's from hard boiled um and peter asked that's uh people know what all the other clips are they're not sure what that one is it's from hard boiled and then right as i was into that stuff and then uh you and wu ping would you did the matrix and they did this this movie comes out and michelle yo had been a bond girl a few years right before this and she was in super cop it was a jackie chan movie and this movie comes out and it like pulled you and whooping and asian cinema and chao young fat michelle yo all together and there was an oscar contender and that was really cool because there's a genre that i was getting into but it's kind of like um it felt like you know oh jackie chan just kicks people to face he's a lot of fun and then all those things kind of gave me this prestige cinnamon that's that's pretty cool it was right as i was also getting into prestige cinnamon paying attention stuff that wasn't just jackie chan kicking people in the face and hitting them with a refrigerator and then asian cinnamon is like prestige an oscar contender while also having all the cool kicking people in the face stuff so um a movie that kind of is a very important place in my life and in my love for movies they have the curse of la yorono the rona like the i know it's kind of a weird addition to the conjuring franchise because they didn't really announce it as a conjuring movie but it is in the conjuring franchise it has like explicit connections to the franchise but they didn't market it as part of the conjuring universe it's weird weird weird the way they did it but um it's not the worst of the bunch kind of forgettable kind of dull especially the first half gets a little bit better when um was it raymond cruz whenever his character shows up adds some nice dry humor into the mix but it's kind of came out at that point time where the franchise was starting to feel like all right haven't we done this before haven't we done this sort of thing and doesn't add much new to the franchise or the genre itself which brings us to our d's we got daredevil the directors cut much better film if you see the director's cut of it the there's actually 30 minutes of like plot that they cut out and character development that kind of built out the mythology of what was going on and so kind of weird choice but you know that's what they were trying to figure out how to do comic book movies back in the day i've never thought this movie was as bad as people claim it is it's flawed but it very much you have to remember that it took a long time for studios to figure out how do you translate these comic book characters to the big screen there's a lot of goofy stuff that they tried that didn't work all that well and this movie has a lot of that stuff in it but if you move away from just a playground sequence and bullseye having an actual bullseye in his head if you pull those out i think it has more to offer than most people give a credit card then we have date night these steve carell tina fey little adventure rom-com that they did that has a great cameo from mark wahlberg and i forgot about this until a couple weeks back until i did a video with my wife on rom comes but it uh it is a early in her career wonder woman gal garat or godot whatever one it is is in this movie in a small little part which is it's just nice to see uh one of these now big a-listers that everybody knows back when just trying to make her name in hollywood and she's got this small little part it's a fun movie not as good as it necessarily should be not as fun as you would think steve girl tina fey would be but it is a nice little film that death wish the remake um i like these types of movies so i enjoy it it doesn't kind of live up to the original classic one but it is better than most all of the death wish sequels to the franchise but a lot of people didn't like it because it's just like it's a movie not for present day because it is just like a guy out for revenge shooting people which is not the flavor that most people enjoy these days then we have demolition man great 90s stallone and a film that actually in light of where culture's at right now almost feels like prophetic of like how goofy certain stuff is in current society in um the way we are with trying to sensitivity and things that sometimes just feels like i think we're going a little bit too far and missing the point and this movie almost feels like it saw that in advance and is commenting on it so it's but it was back in the day a real solid film that was funny has a young sandra bullock in it stallone in his prime and cool action fun setup and can be quite funny at times and you almost can reinterpret it in light of present society then we have the this despicable me trilogy of films you know they're all kind of goofy fun low brow humor but it works well enough uh i have kids so they're always in the mood for minions to do goofy stuff but i i've never been bananas about but they're all they're films that i feel like work better for set pieces rather than the full plot i'm always like oh the minions themselves are so cute and funny oh this joke was great this was really good but the plots themselves i'm just not terribly invested in uh detective picachu the pokemon movie from a few years back a real fun little adventure that manages to translate pokemon into real life my kids are obsessed with pokemon so also it gets played a lot in my household and as they're discovering that actors have multiple roles they're like wait the guy that's in that deadpool movie we're not allowed to watch he's the voice of pikachu that's a lot of fun i do know it's pikachu but it's more fun to say picachu so that it's one that's um because of the where my kids are at this one is is a lot of fun for us there's a die hard collection that does not have live free or die hard i don't own that fifth abomination that i don't like to acknowledge exist these four films are all i think very solid action movies even two and four they're for what they are i have a lot of fun with them and then one of course is the greatest action movie of all time of just the straight action movie genre and then the third one is a great follow-up to the original film so i love those four films then we got django unchained um quinn tarantino's first stab at westerns and just a very cool film with great characters great dialogue every single thing that you want from a queen tarantino western you get it in this film moving right along to dr sleep i've said it before i like dr sleep more than i like the shining shiny's a little bit too more alex too allegorical metaphoric for me and be like did you like the symbolism no i didn't get it that's that i appreciate the talent that goes into it but i didn't get it doctor's sleep power is a little bit more straightforward and it plays out almost like you know the x-men as a horror film mutant's hero in villain mutants as a horror film so i really dug it and also tackles kind of its themes on alcoholism and stuff that was in the shining book but not as clear in the movie it brings them front and center a lot more in this and kind of family legacy a lot of stuff resonates with me because of my own history with alcoholism my dad died from drinking and so there's things in this movie that just hit me on a very deep emotional level while also just the aesthetic of the film the nature of it a little bit more in line with with who i am you have do little the classic follow-up to um um robert downey jr's time is tony stark he found a character just as intriguing and just as no uh unfortunately robert downey jr's follow up to end the game was uh i don't know what your words you want to use not good i'll just say that it has some moments it has cute animals that's why i bought it because i have kids and they love cute animals and i went to go see with my daughter and we had fun with it i found it on sale unfortunately uh not the follow-up that i'm sure he was hoping it would be and we have don john movie starring uh joseph gordon-levitt and scarlett johansson i haven't gotten around to watching this one yet i was sent this one in my fan mail and so it's been on my radar like basically what happens i get this movie fan mail and so i take them downstairs like a big stack of them um and whenever i can i try and watch through one of them but i've got i got so many last try you guys were so gracious and so generous last year in in sending me movies i just haven't been able to watch all of them yet so this is one of the ones that i haven't gotten to then we have don't breathe actually this is one that i did receive in fan mail and a very cool self-contained little horror thriller it's the type of movie like when i think about what's a movie that i would make movies like this is what comes to mind not specifically the concept of it but the nature of trying to find kind of this fun concept of people there's a smaller film that's what i think i would do well that has some sort of gimmick to it of like what are the thrills where's the excitement coming from and just nicely constructed that right as you think that the the premise is getting stretched thin right at that moment it has this twist that you're like oh that's what's going on here this is just the right thing to kind of add this new dynamic to it just nicely constructed and that's the sort of thing i want to hear then we have dragon the bruce lee story this is actually the last movie i watched as of the time of shooting this video watch this one yesterday i grew up i saw this one when it was out in the theater and was i think i saw this before i'd seen any bruce lee movies actually and i imagine that probably would be the case but i've always liked martial arts films and movies where people get punched and kicked in the face and this is like a really solid film it's a romanticized version of his life it turns real life things that happen to him and changes the details to make them much more fantastical for the purpose of a movie and um so you get all the beats that you want in a biopic even not really true he had some questionable stuff in his life the movie of course leaves that stuff out but if you just watch it as a you know a fictionalized version of bruce lee it's it's a pretty cool little film with a great score the score transcends the film itself in fact the score for this movie was used for trailers for 10 years after this movie came out this was like forrest gump the first harry potter they used the score from this film and so it takes this movie that's like you know i would give like a solid you know i think it's a solid film but when you throw this great score on it it elevates all these sequences of when he he has these setbacks and these victories and this awesome score happens it just lifts everything up in a way that is really quite cool then we have dread one of these movies that when people ask me what's a movie that you think would be really you want a sequel to this is one that comes to mind or a follow-up netflix amazon prime tv show because you don't need to be a big blockbuster even this movie is pretty self-contained and the nature of dread in the mythology lends itself to um uh um like i said my brain's fried we're not even a third of the way through so we're almost a third of the way through we're almost through the first row my brain it's shot unfortunately lends itself to episodic weekly television or episodic as in just multiple plotlines so anyway that's one that comes to mind just a real cool nice world building great character stylized action thumbs up from sean got dunkirk christopher nolan's world war ii film i had to stop i think it was 1917's world war one this one's world war ii which which one was this one um and people compare the two movies i get it because they're both world war movies released within a few years of each other with kind of a gimmick in how the story is told but they're very different in what their gimmick is what they're trying to do and they're totally different wars so i don't know which one i prefer over the other i think that both of them are very good i like what both of them were going for some people criticized dunkirk for being shallow with the characters you're not investing the characters so why would you be invested movie i disagree with that i think it's um that's not my experience with it that's i what it's going for is kind of like let's put you in put you on the beach let's put you in the plane let's put you on the boat i think it does that well and cuts between it so you feel the presence of the film so i i really don't we've made it to the ease and are going to kick them off with edge of tomorrow or live die repeat if you want a goofy name or if you want the title before they changed it the first time all you need is kill whatever title you want to go with great sci-fi time loop movie with emily blunt and tom cruise anyway whatever title it gets it's it's a fun movie the trailers totally botched the job of selling people on the film so it didn't do nearly as well at the back office it should have everyone that saw that was like well that was way better than the trailers like that was fun it moved at a nice pace and i dug it we have elektra the spin-off from daredevil and one of the most bland mediocre comic book movies of all time uh having watched it a couple times in the last few years it's not a movie that does things that are embarrassing like catwoman but for that reason it's not nearly as memorable as catwoman catwoman is bad but it's so bad it loops around and is good like you can talk about things like catwoman she's battling an evil makeup woman and there's this basketball sequence there's weird things that are like distinct they're so bad they're worth talking about with this one it's just like yeah it's a it's a pretty serious forgettable little comic book movie there's like assassins in it but it's just turn what what was it about there's like a family that her neighbors or something just forgettable and that's one of the worst things a movie can be is totally forgettable movies that are not forgettable elf i love this movie maybe my favorite christmas movie all the time every time i watch it i laugh out loud and i saw in the theater 17 years ago 18 years ago loved it then watched it two months ago back in december loved it then and sometimes in the middle of the years my kids are like let's watch elf right now and i'm normally like yes we should do that that is a great life choice so funny in a movie directed by john favreau which it's not like it's kind of for you forget that he directed it because he's so known for all these other things that he did but the one that really put him on the map as director guy was health there you have emma the period piece adaptation uh was a jane austen book that came out last year i am i'm so far from the target audience for this one this was someone sent me this in the family i was able to watch it and my wife loved it had a ton of fun watching it but for me people ask me all the time is there a genre you don't like and i don't like to say yes to that but like these period piece stories about you know women trying to find their spouse and um i just can't connect with them i just can't do it it's not like oh that was bad because i'm watching like oh yeah this is accomplishing what it's going for i am just so far from the target audience that i just can't resonate with it it's funny because my wife is loves that stuff and she puts it on all the time i'm just not that person it is not for me but ones that you might not know that i really dig enchanted i have always thoroughly enjoyed this movie just a fun spin on these disney princess stories that sets it in live action in new york city and it both is a celebration of these disney princess tropes while turning them on their head and celebrating them also it's like all of it combined together and amy adams is just perfect for it james marsden is perfect as this prince charming um patrick dempsey the great real world guy that's cynical but not actually cynical just all the pieces come together i really dig this one we have the equalizer two the second one for i think i got the first one on digital but i don't have a disc for it but i have for the the second one um you know i dig this genre and so if i anytime i find these types of movies cheap i buy because i'm always like randomly at nighttime like yeah i want to watch denzel washington beat guys up and so then i'll put in you know that's when i'll put this one in so um i don't think it was as good as the first one and the first was already a little bit on the generic side but they serve their purpose they they deliver the the payoff of denzel washington taking out the bad guys that you want we have aragon my wife's read the books and promises me that they're really good my experience is just the movies and i have actually fond nostalgic memories of this movie because back when we were newlyweds we went on a cruise and on the cruise they had like a movie channel and a music video channel and they would just loop like these five movies and they'd loop these 15 music videos or 10 music videos whatever they were and so you're on this trip for a boat for a week and so you got five movies so we watched aragon like five days earlier it wasn't a lot of options and then all the songs that were on that playlist those music videos those are also ones i'm nostalgic for so that's my thoughts on airgun but it's it's basically star wars with dragons but really blah supposedly the book is actually good the movie did not capture the magic then we have our our evil dead movies i was an insanely big fan of army of darkness back in the 90s i won halloween attached the chainsaw to my hand and went as ash i quoted the movies this is back in the 90s where you couldn't like down like video clips were tough to get so i had all the audio clips that are now would be memes and stuff like that that people would use and i just had those like the audio files saved on my computer and would listen to them and just love love love those movies and then as time passed actually evil dead 2 kind of became my favorite and but i even had i used to have the dvd that was the necronomicon actual like book of the dead version of the original film it was so cool and our house got broken into and it got stolen it was like this super fancy collector's version of it and it got stolen so um that was sad and you know that's the big reason it was sad it's because i lost that the x mahina i haven't seen it yet i've had it for a while now it's been on my radar even got on 4k so i'm watching pristine i haven't watched it yet and i hear only nothing but great things about it everything about it makes it seem like one that i'd be into but i have not watched it yet that brings us to our expendables trilogy i've always had fun with these ones some people always were disappointed by all of them i was disappointed by none of them because i kind of went in expecting them to be what they were which is they're they're intentionally just 80s action movies and i think some people went in wanting them to be modern day with the sophistication of modern day blockbusters with these 80s and 90s action heroes brought to the sophistication of modern blockbusters that's not what they are they're very basic 80s 90s action movies with an ensemble of guys from this movie so it doesn't it's not trying to transcend the nostalgia that was originally there so i get why some people would feel like it the idea of all these guys coming together is not matched by the script and the plot of the movies but i don't think it was ever really trying to do that i i kind of get the disappointment but um they're you know the third one they have the new batch of people and some people don't like that about it but i don't know they worked well enough for me i also have fond memories because the second movie when it came out van damme was the villain in it or is the villainous and the local alamo drafthouse did this thing called the van damme and they did a five movie van damme marathon and my wife and i went to go to it and like between the movies like before they showed lionheart they had a heart eating contest and then we got to see expendables 2 like five days or something before it came out to you so it's just a really cool experience so i i i enjoy all the expendables movies for for what they are okay we have made it through the first row up here all the movies on the top row argon you have unlocked your first medal if you have made it thus far type down below in the comment section red apple this is the red apple row that is what you get if you type that there we know that you have made it one-third the way through my magnum opus thank you so much for tuning in thus far and hopefully you're up for the challenge and can make it all the way to the end you can learn the next two secret code words as we've got three shelves also one more thing before we move on to row number two according to my count row number one had a 132 blu-rays now remember according to my count i'm counting one collection as one blu-ray one blu-ray set one collection is what i'm counting it as so my james bond collection that like 24 movies in it according to my account that is one movie not 24 movies and according to my count row number one 132 blu-rays let's move on to our x in row number two and we've got fantastic beasts and where to find them the kick off to the fantastic beasts franchise and it's uh if it had been a stand-alone movie i think it would have worked nicely i think people responded better to it because it would have just been another story in the wizarding world there's some cute fun creatures in it but that they wanted to turn it into this big massive epic thing where there were retconning stuff in the sequels and stuff i think they burned a lot of people doing that and they stretched out their best story potential that they had and i think they hurt themselves doing that but uh the fantastic four double feature of the ones from what 15 years ago they're fine forgettable products of their time as i mentioned before when we talked about daredevil it took a long time for these producers and directors to figure out how do you take these kind of goofy hand-drawn comic book characters make them live action and be able to be fun but also serious and these are one of those experiments that you had to have these experiments to that had mixed results to get to what what did work we got a steel book of fan four stick the josh drank movie one of the famous troubled productions of all time where studio interference and whatever else went on behind the scenes just shot the movie in the foot and so what you get is just this bizarre thing that um like you can see elements that are really good but as a whole it's like what is this thing this this does not work and you can also tell like at some point down the production just fell apart then we have the eight pack fast and furious box set and then hobbs in shaw the other the fast and furious spin-off movie once again my fast and furious movies all plumped together these are great taco bell movies they're dumb and they know it and they're having fun with it it's a weird franchise because it started as a street racing heist franchise and then eventually they turned into like spy movies which is weird but somehow it kind of works in its own weird way i the weirder they've gotten the more i kind of dug it like when they went to fast five and became big gigantic ridiculous movies that know their big ridiculous movies and it was also like let's bring everyone from all the movies together that's when i really got into the franchise was it with fast five like the first four was like okay fun car movies i'll see them in the theater cool but then when we started like getting real bonkers i'm on board a few good men this is actually my this is the first 4k blu-ray i i bought this is actually the first one ever right here um and uh a few good men is outside of you know mission impossible and stuff like that the of the dramatic tom cruise movies this is my personal favorite aaron sorkin script rob reiner directed it it's famous for jack nicholson's performance center you can't handle the truth but tom cruise is great in it it all the characters are nice fleshed out courtroom drama film so my favorite courtroom drama movie uh favorite tom cruise drama as well and my first 4k blu-ray yeah fight club in the steelbook nice fun packaging right here the movie that if you're my age it was the movie like it's designed for kind of directionless post-high school dudes trying to figure out what things is about dealing with the consequences of a generation where divorce had become the norm and that's what the movie was about and i was like you know 18 right is the 17 when the movie came out and so it like we watched this movie constantly in the early zeros and we do fight clubs because we didn't fully understand it at the time what the movie's about and bare knuckle punch each other in the face it was it's just a lot of fun to hurt my friends or in this it actually played out they would hurt me because they would beat me up fighting with my family i really dug this movie it's like a sports um sports movie of sports comedy of sorts but all of it done with by subverting the cliches it sets up the trope but it does something different with it every time every time you think it's about to like okay these are the mean girls it's not really that and it finds something clever to do with them that's actually satisfying not just like tricked you and you're like okay well i don't like this now every time it tricks you and it does something even better than the cliche that you're expecting we got the final destination series right here now i remember when the first one came out actually first couple came out because they were um it was one of those horror franchises that i would ride around when i was 20 years old when it came out and the guys behind it had worked on the x5's big under the x-files so they were just very memorable kind of films at that point in time that we all kind of talked about as a horror films from my generation and as they kept on going i kind of didn't check them out until the i did a ranking on them a couple years back and then i watched through all of them you know fun enough it's a fun concept because they're all these elaborate death sequences so even when they're bad they're bad in a fun way it's always the concept lends itself to schlock values so you start getting the later movies and they're some not good but they're dumb fun at least they're not boring bad finding nemo i've said it many times before my favorite of the pixar films and i think it's because it's a movie about parenting and i saw it after my son was born and so you interpret the film differently in life you interpret all films differently in in depending on your phase of life so you resonate with different themes and different characters and so if you grew up watching finding nemo as a child you probably resonate with nemo a little bit more but when you watch it as a parent you recognize these things that you know i've never had a child get lost in the ocean it doesn't work well with humans but all those ideas about letting go it's it's powerful stuff yeah we got the firm back in the early 90s tom cruise did a number of these f titled dramas that were right as i was starting to be interested in more adult uh dramatic type films and so i remember seeing like when we do car trips when i was growing up my mom would listen to audiobooks and so normally john grisham once is based off a john grisham book and so like all these fond memories of my childhood are of the movie movies like the firm and the client and stuff like that but you know tom cruise being this one so it's one of the ones that stands out the most to me and uh but between this one and a few good men i like a few good men a good bit more first man damien chazelle um one of these guys that just has such a distinct style with his up-and-comers that when you see these three kind of big studio films whiplash la la land first man they feel like they're very different films because one of them is about jazz drumming one of them is about trying to make it in hollywood as a musician or actor and then one of them was about trying to make it to the moon but as soon as you step back for a second you realize they're all about people obsessed with greatness and i didn't like first man in and of itself but as a piece in this puzzle of this trilogy of movies about greatness i think it's a it's a really nice addition in that sense and i like the other two more but the idea that he's exploring this concept of these people that are just obsessed with being the best it's neat when a director does that and tackles it with such different stories and stuff like that then we have first reformed i haven't watched this one yet i got in my fan mail a long time ago just because they nature the subject matter drama and anything kind of religious that i have to really be in the right mindset to process the promise i haven't been able to check it out yet i believe it was sent to me by i believe jackson sent it i mean he's the guy that actually sent me the sean chandler funko pop that you see right there and so i i feel bad that i haven't been able to watch it yet but i honestly i i haven't you have jackie chan's first strike so there's a series of these jackie chan movies that were sent to me all in my family which are greatly appreciated because uh my son's old enough that i can watch them with him now and so all these movies that meant so much to me i've said it so many times before i don't i might have said in this video i had a jackie chan fan web page back in the early 90s that was kind of my start till that eventually led to this and so jackie chan and his movies that were they were repackaging as hong kong movies for hollywood were huge for me back in the late 90s and making me who i am today in the career that i currently have and one of those was first strike and so there's a um you know having it on blue rain being able to kind of show it to my son like this great ladder sequence in it where he especially these ones where he did the prop foo where he would use the surroundings to beat people up being able to show that to my kids it's a lot of fun see my kids the flash the lego movie that they did for once again my kids love these movies i don't really have much to say about it they're they're nice additions to be able to put on and i my kids always have fun with them they have david kronberg's the fly one of the classic 80s body horror films and i i grew up on jurassic park and independence day jeff goldblum because those are movies are so huge during my formative years and so as i got older and then saw david cronenberg's the fly um jeff goldblum it's just interesting to see different people with different i know it's i don't know interestingly i don't know if it's interesting anyone else the following david um david i was thinking of david copeland christopher nolan's first film this was a fun one because basically my it's a criterion collection it's like the fancy everything christopher nolan approved version of it and my workout buddies got this for me for my birthday this last year my birthday's in november but they actually only gave this to me about two weeks ago when you combine covet and everything else i saw each of them individually but whichever one had the movie to give to me didn't line up until just a couple weeks back it was like two months after my birthday but basically i did my christopher nolan um reviews last summer leading up to tenet and i talked about and following that the audio was very bad and my buddy who actually on the technical side of things knows movies better than me he's like yeah actually with that movie they didn't remaster the criterion version it cleans all that up it's actually you can hear it great it's like oh i watched like the crappy digital one he's like man you got to check out the proper one and so then months later he actually was able to bought me as um for my birthday which is really cool and and consider speaking of jackie chan once again the foreigner and this is from director martin campbell who did green lantern which was not well received but he also did casino royale goldeneye and the mask azores he's done a bunch of movies that i thoroughly thoroughly enjoy and then he did a jackie chan movie with pierce brosnan and also it's like a it's um it's like a thriller of sorts more than a martial arts film and just a nice turn for jackie chan was more serious he's not he's kind of the lead but appears brazen is also the lead so this kind of co-leads with two very different plot lines for each of them so very interesting dynamics to it forgetting sarah marshall this is a movie i bought it when blockbuster was going business as you can see from the sticker right there i don't remember if i'd seen it before and i just wanted to check it out um i'm not i'm not there's it has some memorable things some things i like in it but it's not one that i'm a gigantic fan of for christmases not a great movie but a movie that we watch almost every christmas it's kind of mean-spirited not very christmas-me for being a christmas movie but i enjoy vince vaughn and reese witherspoon and the supporting cast all around them including john favreau acting in it um is a lot of fun for me um like i said not not the most christmasy of spirited movies but one that nonetheless for whatever reason i i enjoy then we have our friday the 13th collection these were the slasher movies that i watched back in the day they showed up on tbs tnt i've referenced them frequently in here because those are the cable channels that just showed like the archive of old movies so whenever a new james bond movie would come out they would play them and then they also had friday the 13th movies on loop those are the ones i watched the most and i saw them out of order and i remember like six and three and eight and different sequences from all of them and then later finally watched them in order and got understand the actual continuity of all of it but so jason is my favorite of the slashers just because he's the one that i kind of grew up with the most while we were doing this i was like wanted to make sure that my head wasn't going too high up up top so right while i was filming just decided to do this stuff i normally do this before i start filming but because my brain is fried i just did it right here and while talking friday the 13th jason's kills people and then i did this that's these videos they go on so long and your brain can only take so much frozen too for whatever reason i don't have a copy of frozen but i actually do own a copy of frozen but frozen movies are in such heavy rotation in my home and have been for seven years now that they get lost quickly but frozen two in 4k both these movies like i said are in loop on my house hold the soundtrack has been on loop in my household for years all the kids have gone through the frozen face and are in the frozen face and um so frozen huge part of my house the fugitive fantastic harrison ford thriller from the early 90s and has the tommy tommy lee jones performance that really kind of launched him into the a-list he's been acting a long time and he'd done a lot of stuff and he got claim and all sorts of things and then he did this one got the oscar for his performance his marshall gerard and just kind of took him to this whole other level and started getting like men in black and stuff like that and but the movie as a whole everything about it is excellent the score the direction from andrew davis of course harrison ford is great love love love the future kicking off rg's is galaxy quest one of the great comedies of all time i i grew up as a star trek fan and i grew up going to star trek conventions and this movie is a celebration of star trek it's a celebration of fan culture while also sending up star trek so it's a love letter while being like poking fun at it but all while being front coming from a place of love rather than any sort of mean spirit and so i of course came out of the right of the gate love this one saw in the theater and everything like that but my wife didn't grow up on star trek and she also loves this movie thinks it's a fantastic comedy as the person that never went to a star trek convention never dressed up as a vulcan at one of these deals and so it's just a great movie in and of itself while also as a star trek fan has all these other layers to it there's also a great documentary about it from the screen junkies people on the making of it it was also really good i went to go see in the theater they did a fandom event for and i saw it with my sister that was fun because my sister was a person i went to the star trek conventions with we have game night great little um comedy about a game night that turns into this big wild adventure is it real what's real what's not real fantastic cast that's a lot of fun with jason bateman and rachel mick adams and a bunch of other people like kyle chandler showing up in the mix but what kind of makes elevates this one is that it's directed with way more style than you'd expect like it has like a the way it transitions between scenes the way the action is shot all of it much better than you would expect from a comedy while it's funny while the actors are great with the humor also it handles the action and everything i said then we have the gentleman the guy richie movie from a year ago that was returning to kind of his roots of british underground crime movie and after like a decade of kind of these big mainstream films and then he had a decade before that just like missteps and misfires it was like a such a refreshing return to what made me love guy ritchie 20 years ago snatch came out right as i was getting into um cinema and it was like the super cool movie loved it and then he had like a decade of stuff was like what happened to guy ritchie like lock stock snatch these are amazing and then then he's you know did aladdin which i dug as we talked about in this video already but it wasn't it's not the guy that did snatch and then he did the gentleman and he showed me he still got it i watched it actually just a couple weeks ago with my wife and i was like i really dig this movie he has still got it we have get out great horror thriller twilight zoney social commentary film from jordan peel that just kind of kind of gets everything right it balances multiple genres with humor darkness commentary all of it kind of pulls together in a way that um few people can balance that much stuff so well then we have get smart i grew up watching the original get smart you know back on nick at night back in the day and then i i hadn't watched the office prior to this movie coming out so i just went to go see get smart because it was get smart and watched and i was like this is really good this steve gorilla guy is funny and my wife and i went home afterwards like he has a tv show right called the office and so we checked out the office and that became our favorite that's like the sitcom of our marriage like that's the by far the tv show that we've rewatched the most but like not even there's not even a close second i mean it's the office seasons one through four and all of it goes back to like the specific summer we were moving we had no furniture of like a sitting on a laptop watching the office on uh inflatable mattress like all these distinct memories and it goes back to when get smart came out the movie itself you're kind of forgettable kind of enjoyable respectful enough without being you know fantastic it's got you know the rock in it before he really became the rock but for me what's most important is it got me to watch the office and we have ghostbusters i grew up on the first two ghostbuster movies as well as the animated show so the original film is just fantastic great one of the great i don't know if not sci-fi maybe kind of sci-fi because it's technology to it kind of horror kind of comedy a lot of different genres blended together it does it so well sequel not not so no doesn't i don't think it's aged nearly as well but the original always will be a classic and my copy of it is this fun little uh booklet style opener for it that has um some behind the scenes stuff so and a little note from ivan reitman so pretty cool oh yeah i forgot to mention this and my get smart is a blockbuster previously used so one of the relics of that thing we used to go to called blockbuster ghost rider 2-pack collection the first one you can chalk it up to being when an early comic book movie before they'd figured out how to do comic book movies right the second one they just who knows what they were thinking on that one david goyer actually wrote the script for the second one that's a guy that did dark knight man of steel blade and then whatever the second ghostwriter was that he literally broke like and then ghost rider piece fire that's gold yeah that's that's a great little nugget right there cool there we have the girl with the dragon tattoo i hadn't seen this one until just a few months back and when i was doing my david fincher raking and i really dug it a very interesting story that's not what you think it's going to be like has all these layers twists turns different directions that it takes and then by the end of it satisfying david fincher of course very talented director stylized director so i i really dug it and we have glass one of the most frustrating disappointing films of all time and it's in particular frustrating because it does a lot of things really well delivers a bunch of the things i wanted it to fantastic world-class performance from james mcavoy we get an update on david dunn and what he's up to kind of like you get to learn about like the superhero stuff he's been doing the last 20 years and then that third act just you subverted my expectations m knight you twist gave me that twist but the twist was not more satisfying than what the rest of the movie had been promising and what you do with david dunn how dare you how dare you m knight how dare you do that to david nomeo and juliet i've never seen it um my sister-in-law bought it when we visited them back like eight years ago and then they took it she brought it home and realized that she had a dvd player not a blu-ray player she didn't know there's a difference and so then i don't know like actually this it has a dv i don't know what the reason was for some reason they couldn't watch it or something like that and so they just gave it to us and we've never watched it so i have it but it's it's just there do we have the godfather trilogy set what is that what's the fourth this one this is the special feature supplemental material so so the four discs set in jumbo fashion uh obviously one and two two of the great movies of all time and then the third one i don't it's like a movie that's it's so goofy in its flaws because it i it i watched it for the first time just last year when i did my godfather ranking and so i went in having heard it was bad or by by far the worst not bad it's tough to describe exactly the way its reputation but you know it did a lot of the stuff right that the first two did it just had more glaring mistakes in particular the casting of his daughter in a prominent role and this weird incest plot line that really was like what are we doing here but in other ways i thought it had some a nice little send-off for michael and kind of playing out what if the first two movies would happen what would that do to this family this character in light of where this one's ended and so i thought it worked in a lot of ways in that regard but obviously the first two much better i haven't watched the new redux new titley one that came out last year i'd only since i've only seen godfather part three once checking out the new version i just wouldn't even see enough of the differences and in my mind i don't think you can fix it with a new cut because it's just a miscast role that is just so prominent in the story i just don't think you can resolve that issue and maybe it would be a little bit better but i wouldn't notice it because i don't know the movie well enough to be able to comment on it but one it keeps going but one and two are actually great so i for me i like the first one a lot more than the second one so the second one's of course great film not putting the second one down some people say like this might be even better than the first one i i think distinctly for me i've always felt the first one it's just like a really nice perfectly constructed film that manages to like make you notice these little details and then pays them off and you're like what whatever happened with that and then you know this last scene happens like oh the movie didn't forget the movie just did a good job of making the audience notice things and not forget them and it didn't assume the audience is stupid so i just the first one just you know obviously obviously one of the greats one of the classics a lot of people like the second one even more i'm not in that category anyway godzilla 2014 i've always dug it um a lot of the criticisms people make against brian granston's not in enough of it he's in 35 minutes of it that's that's not that's not too small of a section so i i never felt that complaint the one about godzilla not showing up until the end and then they keep cutting away from all the action those are legit i watched the movie like three weeks back those are legit there's there's some odd choices that they made with them and they tried to correct them in certain ways with godzilla king of the monsters and then it made new mistakes in of itself so both of them i think are a ton of fun it's just like you know godzilla destroying stuff movies love them in that regard but they're they also make just such strange little mistakes my wife loves both of these movies she i guess monsters destroying cities or her things so she she actually act the way the world universe works out like of guys that she has crushed actually she has crushes on tom welling from smallville he's not in these movies kyle chandler of this movie kyle kyle chandler star this movie that goes back to the 90s she had a crush on him and then aaron taylor johnson is the other one was for me it's still fruit like random i get the kyle chandler he's a chandler of course she's into kyle chandler aaron taylor johnson for whatever reason she's thinks he's super duper cute and i just always struck me as odd and random that she's into him but he's the star of this movie so the two of her three guys that she has a crush on star in these movies so maybe that's the reason she's actually a gigantic fan of the franchise then we have gone girl another david fincher thriller one great little genre film one of the best uses of an unreliable narrator i can think of in any movie and a movie that manages to have its big twist like 40 of the way through the film but the movie doesn't feel like it loses steam that is incredible that's an amazing achievement so um big fan of that one good the bad in the ugly these spaghetti westerns the man with no name trilogy sergio looney and clint eastwood those are like my favorite westerns that's the style that um probably because of back to the future too it's actually directly tied to back to the future too that back to the future too made me go uh what's what is that movie with who's that oh it's clint eastwood what movie is that that biff is watching and it made me want to check it out and that was my introduction to clint eastwood in a lot of ways and that it made me like westerns because of that so but of course good the bad and the ugly legendary i've always been partial to a fistful of dollars good time i haven't watched it yet another one i received in fan mail i haven't gotten around to i'm trying to think of what some of it's because i'm thinking of trying to do something with the uh robert pattinson movies when the batman comes out so i've kind of been holding off to see if like covers some of that stuff when the batman comes up but i haven't gotten to it yet then we have the greatest showman a movie that my wife absolutely loves like she would she told when we first watched she was like it was okay and then every week for six weeks she took a different friend to go see it and she listened to soundtrack on loop and at the end of that she was like okay i love this movie it's one of my favorite movies and we went to go see hugh jackman on during his live tour back in um 2019 it was awesome and it was he really is he is the greatest showman hugh jackman is the greatest showman such a classy guy so talented so fun so relatable while being you know the a-list movie guy so uh awesome awesome deal then we have this greenland blu-ray one that just came out uh on blu-ray a couple weeks back and actually this one's i had this one's distinctly pretty cool for me because um the studio sent this disc to me this is the first time a movie studio sent me a copy of their blu-ray and like hey can you just mention this on your channel we'd love it if you would do that and i was like yes i will take your free movie and talk about it on my channel if you want to do that but actually i dug this movie i was a little bit late to the party a little bit uh last year when it came out because it was 20 20. it was a weird year for the way things came out but it's i like gerard butler i i've never been on the cynical gerard butler sucks train at all i've always enjoyed his stuff even his generic stuff i've been down for it it's from rick roman wall the guy that directed angel has fallen apparently they really their buddies actually buddy since they like to do movies together and um this is a much better movie than angel has fallen it's um it's basically deep impact except following this family and it just does it really well um and it doesn't treat the characters like total cartoons that you have people that are mean-spirited and you have people that are gracious and kind of the full spectrum of people you'd have if like a big rock was about to hit the earth and kill everybody so i i really dug greenland then we have gremlins one and two the cheapy two pack version of it the original gremlins deserves a better version for me to own than this one but this is what i got but um yeah original classic amblin movie at that time period with fun creatures memorable score that um this i remember seeing the second one in the theater and even watching the theater being like as a kid it was like nine or whatever being like what is this is weird and i didn't re-watch it until i did this creature feature 31 on 31 last year and that's when i bought this and watched it 30 years later and once again was like this is weird what joe dante what were you thinking man this is such a weird direction to take all this stuff so um you know original classic i i'm not one that i i'm i'm not a huge gremlins person the way some people are of kind of those classic 80s movies it's not one that i go back to as much but still have fun with it and um what i was we did show it to our kids when we were watching was trying to trying to skip certain scenes which would be too scary but um it's one of the movies gremlins the original was original was one of the movies responsible for creating the pg-13 rating so it's but it's only pg so i can show it to my kids and says um you know they're cute creatures so they got into it a good bit and they like horror a lot more than my wife does then we have the guardian a a solid andrew davis um quite a thriller um but i don't know that's not the right word for it but about these i don't know what i don't know what do you even call them but rescue ships that are in danger guys that come out of helicopters with uh ashton kutcher and kevin costner i like the andrew davis the dr as a director and so this movie is um the first movie my wife and i watched after we got married so it's always gonna be one of those memorable movies for me uh that uh that was the i don't know what other people do that on their wedding night but we watched the guardian is what we did um and then the next day the first movie we saw in the theater was rocky balboa the sixth rocky movie but anyway so i always remember this movie i have fond thoughts of it because uh it's a pretty good day in my life kicking off our h's is hacksaw ridge the mel gibson directed film from just a few years ago mel gibson is obviously a complicated figure because of his behavior a little bit over 10 years ago we can all agree bad bad bad stuff but he's also this incredible talent that's directed some great movies and was a fun movie star uh at a certain point in time and so he doesn't crank out movies but whenever he directs something they're all memorable interesting films hacksaw ridge being his war film that he did has andrew garfield in the lead and like his movie most of his movies a very very good film then we have our halloween films so for me i i didn't grow up watching all the halloween films i saw the first two especially the first one because it was john carpenter film big john carpenter fan so watched that one quite a bit back in the day and then random ones kind of here and there like you know h2o came out when i was a high school and so that one kind of stuck out to me a little bit more but it wasn't till i had this channel and ranked the movies i watched through all of them and there's a lot of high and low points in this franchise and because it also they did so many movies at so many different points tonight it's kind of fun because you know like paul rudd showing up in one of them and stuff like that that just kind of makes it interesting so we got the one from a couple years back right here i really dug a couple significant missteps but that aside um dug the film and then a 4k of the original one um right there we got the hangover one of the just a fresh pleasant surprise back when it came out and it's like when you look at it now when you've got ed helms a lot of fame from the office and has been in a bunch of movies of course bradley cooper a-list movie star now director guy zach galivinakis all these things make you think you forget that a lot of that fame for them came out of being the stars of the hangover when it came out bradley cooper had been working for 10 years and i knew him from alias but he was like the side guy in in comedies and then the hangover is really what project took him to that next level same with zach galifianakis he'd been in stuff for years and that's the movie where he started getting a lot lot more stuff but still a really funny movie reputation tarnished a little bit by the far inferior or much inferior sequels you got the hannibal lecter collection with manhunter silence lambs and hannibal i did a ranking of these movies actually just last week and the clarice show debuted also just a week or two back and it's kind of funny because they did this clarisse show that the most interesting character that made the makes the franchises hannibal lecter and in clarisse they're not allowed to say the name hannibal which is what are you doing what do you what who is your show supposed to appeal to but silence lambs is just one of the best serial killer horror films of all time uh hannibal i do not enjoy and i've never liked that movie i saw it in the theater opening night so excited because i was such a big fan of silence and lambs didn't like it then didn't like it when i rewatched it last year manhunter is an interesting little prototype for doing a hannibal lecter movie it's it's interesting especially in light of how successful the later version of the character was happening a very weird m night movie filled with some unintentionally hilarious sequences from beginning to end uh right in the middle that section where m night was just you don't know what was going on with him with these movies and these ideas and but uh it's it's another one of his wacky ideas happy death day to you i this director guy this is christopher landon um he's kind of now made this little mini career out of combining some high concept time loop freaky friday with the slasher genre and i think they're all a lot of fun happy death day to you is a little bit lighter on the slasher side of thing and it leans more into the time loop character development multiverse side of things still just a ton of fun got happy feet one and two just um it was interesting primarily because they're from george miller what did he do right before he did mad max fury road happy feet these movies that my kids get a gigantic kick out of not the ones that i go to all that often i'd much rather match a mad max movie but my kids would rather watch a penguin movie got the herald and kumar set right here i haven't watched any of these yet another one i received in fan mail um i i almost actually almost watched some of them a couple weeks back and i remember i went with something else it was like literally a set of movies and it was in the stack but i didn't end up watching so it's actually interesting because obviously john cho and um uh cal pen blanked on his name he's in clarisse and so i've been thinking about like why is calpin like everyone knows who kalpan is he's been around for a while but he keeps like getting these weird roles where he's the side character on clarisse and he was a side character on designated survivor like i don't understand his career um whereas you know john cho was the lead in searching a few years but obviously he was on star trek but i have not watched these movies yet and it's interesting where their careers have kind of taken them since doing that one all right then we got our harry potter stack right here and honestly i don't think we bought any of these i think we stole them from our friends the worthens i think we borrowed them the worthens used the digital codes and so they had the digital copies on their computers and then we had uh you know we kept the actual discs themselves but i don't think we bought any of these that's uh the way that it worked out my wife's huge harry potter fan my kids are huge harry potter fans they haven't seen all the movies yet but they're you know listening to the audio books that's actually how my kids go to bed is listening to the jim dale audiobooks of the the first three harry potter um books and it's for about a year now that's what they've done and so we're slowly showing them the movies as kind of whenever that's the right time so they can kind of appreciate them and have a sense of like when can i watch the next one um and so we've had to like hit the brakes a lot we were having to get the point time where there's bigger reveals twists and turns and stuff like that i i'm not as big of a fan as the rest of my family but you know of course they're classic great films the hateful eight the other quentin tarantino western i'm not a as big of a fan of this one um i can appreciate what he was going for for me for the amount of plot it has it's an hour too long it feels kind of like a a reservoir dogs kind of movie and that movie was 100 minutes this is like 200 minutes it's a it's a long movie and apparently there's an even extended version on netflix where it's broken up into four episodes i'd be interested to maybe check that out whenever i watch through them next to see if it plays out a little bit better when it is broken up into chunks rather than just one long film but of course great characters great dialogue just is a bit bit much for me or a bit too much in the length for me the heat paul feig's follow-up to bridesmaids and i actually never liked this one as much as i would think i would because you know cop movie buddy cop movie you think i'd like because i'm a big fan of bridesmaids and then even sandra bullock in it and uh i didn't i don't think it worked as well even like spy big fan of spy heat is i've never connected with as much the hitman's bodyguard in a certain sense kind of a forgettable buddy action movie about these hit men on the road um we're not gonna guess agent protecting hitman on the road both and talented two wildly charismatic guys with big mouths so but kind of generic besides that the script is generic the leads are what make it interesting why this movie is memorable for me is that it was the first press screening i was ever invited to that um obviously i do this full time now so i've been invited to many many of them since then but this is the first time i was on the press list that i showed up and i was like i am sean chandler and they went head right in actually they went give me your phone put it in a ziploc bag and then they went head right on in and most of the time they don't steal my phone for whatever reason the hitman's bodyguard like that's the one where they stole my phone not these marvel movies or anything like that no no hitman's bodyguard they didn't want the leaks to get out for the hitman's bodyguard now we got home alone one and two for home alone we've got our steel book fancy case steel right here very nice oh we got a digital code in there let's pull that out to save that for later of course christmas classics i was the perfect age for these movies when they came out some in the theater loved them then have watched them every christmas since and um yeah macaulay culkin one of the best child actors of all time we have hook another one i saw in the theater actually we collect we were into kind of kind of collecting at the time we went to collector's shows i don't know what they were called that was a long time ago so i and still have unopened hook toys in my garage in a big gigantic plastic tub that um i need to look up if they're worth anything and it's tough because they're almost certainly not as worth 30 years worth of saving them so to me they are worth more than they are to the open market but i haven't been in my garage in a tub unopened hook toys from way back in the day oh yeah it's a stephen spielberg you know peter pan movie and robin williams is such a fun choice to play a grown-up peter pan of course because he's you know so high energy and can have that youthfulness to him then we have the host one that i haven't i haven't checked this one out yet just a couple months back um in my fan mail someone sent me several of bong's director of parasites movies and so i was able to check snow piercer but i didn't check this one out yet um from that list once again i get a lot of movies and so sometimes it's tough i watch them and even in these lists and stuff i've talked about a bunch of the movies but um i only pointed out when i haven't talked next i don't have a nugget to add to the conversation then we have how the grinch stole christmas of course the christmas classic my daughter the baby got really into the grinch this past year so she watched the illumination version of it 20 times in november and december so it was nice when i could watch the classic version of it not the illumination whatever you would call that that they made out of it then we have the how to train your dragon trilogy fantastic set of films i was a little bit late to the party because when i first came out it was like 28 29 i didn't rush out to go see movies like that at the time just on my own jumped forward about five years and my son got really into them and they watch all of the rescue writers and the netflix shows and stuff like that so hiccup toothless these characters are on my tv all the time but just a really good solid set of films great score that are exciting as adventures but also very personal stories as as family tells then we have hulk the ang lee version a movie that has is just such a big disappointment because after crouching tiger hidden dragon they're like oh that guy's going to direct a hulk movie he's like that's incredible and that's going to be amazing what could go wrong well apparently a lot can go wrong recurring theme in here talking about how they're trying to figure out how do you translate comic books to the big screen they went with literal for this movie and so they literally used like the comic panel style editing and transitions and stuff and it's interesting but it's not good beyond that the script weird direction to take some of it a little bit too much like let's lean let's be very on the nose with this anger thing the theme that we're going with here so unfortunately didn't work then we have the hunger games catching fire apparently this is the only hunger games movie i have on blu-ray and it is my favorite of the hunger games films the first one frustrated me because they um it was like oh cool they were able to kill all the other kids but they survived i was like that's not very satisfying because their other kids aren't the villains the people making them do this are the villains but you didn't see like you don't get to the point time where you're starting to tear down the the bad guys and the second one where you start to get that you get the hunger games plus you get a little bit of the redemptive side to it not redemptive justice side to it uh and then the ones after that seemed like they kind of brought it to a weird bittersweet conclusion it was like okay i wish i'm not crazy about this either but don't hungry games thoughts those were mine h's we've made it to i with independence day with this sleeve on it right here where it's a totally generic version of the blu-ray but with this sleeve to sell more copies from best buy another just movie i have so many fond memories of i was the perfect age when it came out being like 13 14 and watching the world get blown to pieces whoa those discs fell over behind me near and dear to my heart and then we have independent day resurgence which is um has all the dumb of the original but none of the the charm of it really i don't hate it as much as a lot of people do but it is not a worthy follow-up and it's not like the first one was like like a super brain movie it was sophisticated and they still managed to to miss the mark entirely then we have inception one of my favorite movies of all time just a fantastic movie with such a great concept directed so well that you only someone like nolan could have that level of depth of thought and then package it in such a mainstream way that's that's the brilliance of it those burps again it's there's so many layers to what it's trying to do with these dreams and the storytelling but it's so mainstream and enjoyable and that's that's when you can balance both of those things you've got something special then we have this collector's set for the indiana jones complete adventure with all the different movies and everything like that of course some of my favorite movies of all time um the original trilogy from the 80s just the best adventure films of all time and then king of the christmas school also came out obviously not as good i think it has more merit than some people give it credit for but still obviously um a flawed continuation inglorious bastards quentin tarantino's world war ii revisionist history that has just some fantastic characters these amazing sequences that have such distinct tension to them where there's not big action happening but just through the dialogue and the way that he directs it you just feel the tension growing real cool stuff now we have inside out pixar film that does an amazing job of tackling cognitive development in developmental phases in a way that children can understand to a certain extent and and some i was an education major so i even kind of studied some of this stuff just a little bit at least had some classes that touched on it and so i i've always just loved what they were able to do with this movie and um have something that children could just enjoy for the wacky characters and the humor but it also has some depth to it and hopefully can help them understand themselves a little bit better we have iron giant the brad bird film that kind of put him on the map wasn't a big hit but showed all these people out there like this guy really knows what he's doing and so then pixar was like let's grab that guy let's give him let him do something and they did this little movie called the incredibles but which apparently i don't own either one of the incredibles movies on blu-ray oh i'm just now noticing that as we're talking but uh uh just a very cool film that a little bit of a boy in his dog story a little bit that e.t kind of formula except this gigantic robot military following him and you know heartfelt robot voiced by vin diesel but neat little film and cool cool animation for it too iron mask a movie that if you look at the cover of it you can see it's got arnold schwarzenegger and jackie chan which was like this would be amazing little film they're in like 15 minutes of the movie these other characters are actually the stars and it's a sequel to some other films i think it's like a russian production and i don't know very weird blend of like british colonial stuff with asian cinema but it's a russian production uh whatever it was it wasn't good isn't it romantic this actually was good it's a rom-com that's sending up rom-coms it's making fun of them while being a love letter to them one of those types of films i've mentioned several of those before and i just think this girl gets swept away in this where she finds herself in a rom-com and one of the big standouts here is actually other hemsworth right here liam hemsworth really funny in this movie quite beguiling actually is playing essentially a stereotype of himself as this handsome guy that's dumb and shallow but he's like get that type of character from a rom-com so it works out really nicely then we have our it's i think i'm missing my copy of it chapter two i think i have a copy of that maybe i don't sometimes i think i have things i don't remember how i watch things so i assume i own them and sometimes i don't but anyway we got the blu-ray of the mini-series from back 30 years ago now i didn't grow up watching it so for me i bought this whenever these movies came out to to check them out and i appreciated elements of it but i think like you grew up watching this i think you you have fonder thoughts of it watching it for the first time in your late 30s after having watched this one it feels pretty dated it chapter one i just thought was great i just thought it did everything right the scares the aesthetic the dynamic of the kids just um a really solid horror movie but also coming of age story that balanced all of it really nicely so i i really dug that one and then we have it's a wonderful life in this very cool um steel book fashion it's what i haven't seen so i did a christmas video with my buddy griffin and i said i've never seen it's a wonderful life so someone watched that video and they went we got to fix that and sent this to me so i got this in january so i'm i'm my plan is potentially to do a my first time watching reaction video next december and watch it you know next december for the first time so i'm pretty excited about that but yeah i got this very cool version of it too so i'm excited it's jay time and we've got jackie brown quinn tarantino's follow-up to pulp fiction and uh it's a i don't it's a bit of an interesting film because it's not what you expected from a follow-up to pulp fiction and of quentin tarantino's films it's the one that's based explicitly off someone else's writings and so it it's just different has a different vibe to it's very quinn tarantino still it's got the dialogue the characters and stuff like that but the story and things like that are elmore leonard's in nature so uh an interesting addition i don't think it necessarily works as well as maybe it should or could compare to his quintendo's other work but i appreciate its existence you have jack reach actually just got this one fan mail a few weeks back but this was the first team up between mr cruz and christopher mcquarrie who's gone on to become the go-to mission impossible because he's done the last two and he's doing the next two and it started with jack reacher now these are based off of novels with a lead character is supposed to be like six five tom cruise is about a foot shorter than that so some people had issues with that casting and they're not wrong but this movie taken on its own terms with out evaluating it as an adaptation um is it like a solid little adventure thriller film tom cruise of course is always fun to watch on screen and macquarie is a great writer director person we have the jack ryan five movie collectors set i i kind of grew up watching clear and present danger quite a bit back in the day i mean i saw in the theater everything that's always been my favorite of these movies and made me really enjoy the jack ryan character but just a solid set of thriller spy thriller movies where our lead character is willing to get on on the action but he's not actually a man of action which is an interesting dynamic to do that with the character and since the franchise has been around for the books have been around you know since the 80s and they've been making movies since 1989 with the hump for the red cross the hunt for the red october and we have a tv show now and a kind of a spin-off movie of sorts coming in a few months like you've seen the franchise tackled from a bunch of different directions from directions from a bunch of different creators and so it's um one that i always just enjoy whenever we get a new addition to it to see what they'll what they'll do with it then we have the jaws movies and of course the original jaws is one of these classic films and there's no shortage of special features on here the story of the making of the movie is almost as interesting as the movie itself because there were so many production issues and you had a young steven spielberg who was this unproven commodity and this is the movie that made him the legend and um so i got a little opening sleeve can do that sort of stuff so love love that movie and then actually this is a packaging of two three and four that came out just this past fall the transfers are pretty terrible especially on the third one in particular i don't know if the trans the movie's just always been like this but watching this blu-ray on my my new 4k tv i mean there's scenes it just looks like the whole movie's snowing there's just speckles all over the whole thing you just see all this nasty gross grain is i i don't know if that's always been there like i checked checked out some clips on youtube and they're not there it's like just watching the blu-ray on 4k tv it just brings out all the worst of the transfer so um yay we got joker i really dug it all right some people had their issues with the movie or thought it was just taxi driver with a joker skin and that's kind of true but as a movie itself i think it's just an interesting tragedy of watching this character find his confidence by turning into a monster that uh the is the right dynamics of you you want him to succeed but not like this and so it turns into this tragedy while having this other side that's um sense of victory in the worst nastiest way possible then we have john wick and then john wick chapter two i thought that was three for a second joke chapter two and then john wick three parabellum obviously some of the best straight up action movies of this past decade that kind of created this uh key renaissance bringing him back into the mainstream he kind of dwindled off and was doing kind of smaller things and hadn't been anything that people really talked about and out of the blue john wick comes out and he became like this top level action guy but just really for this one franchise and all of them have fantastic action stunt work and they kept finding ways to up the ante and everything like that so though very very cool we got juliet naked this is a really cool little smaller um rom-con of sorts a little bit of a drama but like for adults um it's not in an evening but because naked's on the dot you might think it's like juliet naked is referring to an album that it's like the acoustic version of an album and that this guy right here made that this guy is obsessed with and just interesting little characters and um fun actors that you know i guess rose byrne does movies like this a lot but there's other two guys in there that feel a little bit different it's a nice little character name is really dug it that just has a i don't know it's just a um it gets a movie that's not trying to play the lowest common denominator or the broadest audience but just trying to tell that storyline so i i really dug dug this movie sort of my wife of course we're all so big my wife's a big fan of rose byrne and chris o'dowd so am i i guess and so putting them together in a movie like this is just fun and chris o'dowd is a less likable version of himself while still having all of his positive fun quirky qualities to him and then ethan hawk just falls into the mix great we got uh jumanji the original one and then the third one and we have the the other one but for whatever reason it's the disc is missing that once it's been watched a lot in our house so the original one was directed by joe johnston great director that uh i wish we would get more more stuff from him with robin williams and then they did the the revival one that i thought was a terrible idea just looked terrible the set photo looked terrible it seemed like a stupid idea and then i heard buzz was actually good for my set friends that hurt saw it early i went to go see it i loved it and then my kids saw it and my wife saw it and they loved it too and so it's been on we watched it like 1000 times we actually watched it for new year for this last year we tried it there's like a timed it out if you start at this exact time then right at midnight you could scream jumanji and so we tried to scream jumanji right at the end of 2020 so 2021 would be better didn't work out great because 2021 is just as crazy as 2020 and at the end of january my wife got covered and then last week there was this snowmageddon where texas our house lost power and water for a week and that's why this video would have come out a month ago but then my wife got sick and then the snow and it's just kept delaying it so apparently our jumanji trick didn't work anyway jumanji the next level came out i was really disappointed by it i didn't think it was nearly as good and felt like it i don't just rehashing without capturing the magic got the jungle book another john favreau film and a movie that's a solid adventure but revolutionary with what they did with the computer graphics that there's this one boy in it that's the real actor and everything else is computers and it's jungles but they filmed it like in a studio in california mind-blowing incredible what they can do these days okay we got a thousand jurassic park movies jurassic park one of my favorite movies of all time a perfect age when he came out with 11 12 years old i've loved it loved it then loved it ever since we got the lost world i i've never been crazy about this one even when i saw it first time in the theater was like that was that was good but definitely not the original film like that something's something's missing a little bit in this story's just not nearly as good third one i've always thought was a dud just a movie that it's got the dinosaurs it's got sam neil but it's missing a good story it's just a bare bones like what's the most basic jurassic park story that you can tell that's what this one is and we got jurassic world i have always had a ton of fun with this one um is it worthy of the original nah it's pretty dumb it's a pretty dumb movie but if you're gonna do a dumb jurassic park movie this is the way to do it chris pratt on a motorcycle with velociraptors amazing amazing stuff and and then the follow-up jurassic world fallen kingdom i dug it enough in the theater i was like oh cool dinosaurs but i had a little bit of a bad taste in my mouth when i was like i'm not sure about this one and then as time passed just that bad taste is what i remember that it they they picked like two different plot lines that was like three different actually there was like what they do with the island and the dinosaurs and like i don't like that at all and then leading to this totally unrelated kind of plot line of sorts about this these arms dealers like i don't know about this and then the implications about what it's the daughter niece granddaughter character with the implications of all of that is like what i what are we doing here and so this is an example of a movie i think i gave like a b minus or something in my original review and i'd probably go a lot lower with it now leading us to a movie that also i did i gave an even lower review to this one but i would give a much lower review now just justice league joss whedon's justice league or warner brothers and joss whedon's justice league not zack snyder's one of the now that everything we know now one of the grossest movies ever released because how was so mishandled by warner brothers and then the the treatment of zack snyder while he was still working on it and then after he left everything you hear makes you go i don't i don't like that that exists that's that's not good those aren't the stories you want to hear and we're just weeks away from finally seeing his version of it and it's just fascinating because this is a one hour and 59 minute long movie with 59 seconds his is four hours long and apparently one hour of this was reshoots so that means we're gonna get a four hour movie of this movie that's actually three hours that we've never seen before that's interesting i i love that something like that is existing but this one in and of itself like it's actually like i don't need to go back and watch the special features where everyone's like oh it's so cool to work on this movie where it's all crap like they've all come out now been like oh what a disaster and so they have special features where they're trying to talk positive about this movie that was not positive for any of them they have justice league apocalypse war i i i rented this one a couple weeks after it came out just like okay yeah one of these new uh dc animated movies and i loved it um you know it's not like there's a great cinema or anything like that but it's like experience of it's like a very dark rated r animated dc version of infinity war and end game where it's just like you know the heroes lose and post-apocalyptic and then they have to re-team to try and win but like you're you're like watching people get ripped to shreds and stuff bananas and i watch it i dug it so much i actually watched this whole continuity the content we started with uh flashpoint paradox which actually really dug and then it ended with this one that's the whole continuity and some of the random ones in the middle i'd seen them but i hadn't watched the whole continuity it made me rewatch all of them and i did a ranking for the whole deal but so i i really dug this very violent movie we've made it to the caves we're somewhere around the halfway point visually it's the halfway point but also on this top row we have our light rose so it messes up it's tough to pick the exact halfway point but as for the cubicles of sorts this is the halfway point and we have got the karate kid one of my favorite movies of all time and it's having a big revival obviously because of cobra kai and so it's been kind of fun that a whole new generation of people is discovering this movie that meant so much to me for my whole life now because of a tv show and it's such a weird follow-up that somehow works so well they have the remake from 10 years ago a lot of people don't like this movie i've i've never minded it it's it's never bugged me and um i um maybe a little bit too beat by beat following the the original one while only like there's gigantic changes in a certain sense but i don't know i just i i've never maybe it's because i'm a jackie chan fan and so that i could just combining jackie chan and karate kid just worked for me but um you know other people hate it i guess the kid who would be king a solid little family adventure film that came out a couple years back don't have too much to say about it it was one that was fun to watch with my kids and um we own it we got kill bill one and two i remember when these came out i was actually kind of a little bit disappointed because i was such a big fan of asian cinema and such a big fan of quentin tarantino and um at the time i don't know what i wanted or what i was expecting but it didn't quite deliver it um for whatever reason that i had to like rediscovered over the last few like oh these these are better than i give them credit for what what was i expecting like what what what what i i was the target audience what was wrong with me but um you know re-watching them over the last few years kind of re-found kind of that passion for them especially the first one first i've always liked the first one more than the second maybe it's because the second one just feels like it so anti-climactic that that kind of killed some of the the vibe for me that's what i remembered being like that was that's where the title came from that was that was how you how you ended that little section oh i don't okay i i would have done something a little bit flashier and more interesting but queen tarantino he's smarter than me then we got king kong in 4k the peter jackson won from 15 years ago some people think this is part of the current monster verse it's not it's its own little standalone king kong movie um so i this is one that um i always felt it was a little bit bloated a little bit too long but once you get into the meat of it this is fantastic it's amazing stuff like the can have the heartfelt moments of course as you get to the end of it heartbreaking in a certain sense but the action is so good that fight with the t-rex just amazing amazing stuff we got our two kingsman movies the original one in steelbook form right there and then the sequel i the first one i really dug like most people did amazing stylistic distinct flavor to it the second one i just felt like they chose the wrong path to go down that they they brought back characters that died and then killed off people that survived right like in the first beginning it's just like i i do not understand these decisions and it just i don't know kind of just really hurt the whole experience for me got knives out great fun little who done it and i had the pleasure of getting to see this one two months before it came out at fantastic fest 2019 and ryan johnson was at the film festival because he wrote it and it was weird because he was literally just walking around for for two days at this film festival and you just like turned around like i was ryan johnson right there and um the internet hates him and he's the devil and he ruined star wars and stuff like that and and i totally get get the frustration that his choices with writing and maybe some of the comments he's made stuff like that but the same time when you see him he's just a guy right there that's kind of smiling being friendly and talking with people humanizes him a little bit more than the the internet likes to but anyways is a movie i i really dug it was just a real fun whodunit like you it earns the moments and everything like that got krampus i bought this one a couple years back so i was supposed to do a podcast where i was talking about christmas horror movies and then we swapped it i think for gremlins so i haven't watched krampus yet i need to check that one out one of these christmases then we got kung fu panda a movie franchise i didn't watch any of them until last year and then as soon as i did i was like why did i watch these sooner these are like family animated movies like targeted towards someone like me so i i really dug the whole frantic great characters that take a ridiculous premise and find a way to like have very human emotion to it same same with like how to train your dragon similar kind of concept of like these big fun adventures with over-the-top stories but very grounded human emotions to them and character arcs oh with starts with lady and the this is what actually my buddy andy gave to me guess he got a collection or a subscription like monthly disney movies and for whatever reason they started sending like classic disney movies that he didn't want so he just gave them to me so so now i have some classic disney movies because saying i don't know what i want these for so i'm not quite sure what you subscribed for or what the the ones that he did want were but now i have a few of these ones that he didn't want got la la land the second movie in damien chazelle's movies about people pursuing greatness i maybe it's some people declared it to me like the greatest musical digital code right there greatest musical in 50 years that is maybe oversold to me before i saw it i was like that's a solid movie i don't know about the greatest musical in 50 years so because of that the expectations were set here and it's like okay it's not quite up here for me but obviously it's still a solid film got leap my daughter really dug this one she's into obviously the story about a little girl dancing stuff like that she's the target audience so she really dug it uh i tolerated it then we have leather face i haven't watched it yet planning on doing a texas chainsaw massacre ranking one of these days it was supposed to happen last year and then i changed it up and it did a 31 on 31 it was creature features instead so i couldn't do that one the same time supposedly there's another texas chainsaw massacre movie coming out in sometime this year next year so maybe i'll do it then um and potentially if that's not gonna happen that's too far down the line maybe it'll be my october ranking will be the leatherface uh the texas chainsaw massacre movies it's kind of interesting because those movies were shot around here but then i haven't i haven't seen any of them but so a guy named uh some meat sabite has sent them to me in my fan mail so i have most all of the movies all ready to go once that ranking happens it will happen one of these days just not yet now we've got our movie or let's do this the other way around our lego movies the theatrical ones that franchise the original lego movie from lord miller such a fresh exciting clever spin seemed like a dumb idea turned out to be really good just a great little movie then we got the lego batman movie which once again was like what are you gonna do with batman with this somehow also really good in a solid batman movie lego ninjago a little bit more niche my son really dug it because he's actually into the tv show and has the toys and everything or lego lego sets for ninjago um but they tried to take the lego movie formula and wrap it around this tv show i just don't think it worked all that well and lego movie two movie i was i was a little bit not as hot on when i first watched it having seen it now 1 000 times because of my both my kids and my baby and having listened to the soundtrack two thousand times um literally is on loop for the whole year of 2019 and then once again the last six months because of the baby i come to actually like the second one more than the first one but maybe that's just because of my kids sometimes your kids make you go crazy we got the leprechaun set um i bought this to do a ranking of the leprechaun movies back a couple years back tried to watched one two three and then no i'm not doing this life is too short i don't like these movies this is not a franchise for me and i like my rankings to have that positivity to them that's the trying angle i try to take on things and so then i just it just wouldn't have been that it would have been me crapping on a franchise that p probably the people who clicked on it want like the franchise i'm not that person lethal weapon this the definitive buddy cop franchise for me the definitive buddy cop movies are numbers one and two of this franchise just great chemistry between the two leads and then just kind of does all the cliches of those movies but does them so well they're so fun so love those movies um i only have like the generic multi-pack for them but i don't know if there's a better version of it out there the lighthouse another one i saw at fantastic fest 2019 was the secret screen i didn't even know i was watching i went they're like sign up for the secret screen was okay sat down and then the director of it walked out i haven't seen the witch so i didn't even know who the guy was like okay cool this guy what does that mean they're like they heard murmurs people are so excited and then this movie played night like i had no context going into it and so um i was kind of like kind of like a modern day kubrick of certain sort of senses of um kind of like the shining in a different formula to it but isolation people kind of going a little bit crazy on the place uh very metaphoric allegorical not necessarily my wavelength but certainly could acknowledge the the talent that went into it then we have limitless another one of my uh acquisitions from blockbuster before as it was shutting down around here nice solid little uh thriller it's based off of a book i haven't read the book or anything like that but interesting little little movie about like these pills that make you super smart it actually turned into a tv show a few years back and i checked that out too and and i dug it enough got the lion king this is my favorite animated movie of all time but this diamond edition of the film is a big problem on my shelves because it's a for whatever reason it's in a dvd case so it's too tall blu-ray cases are a little bit shorter than dvd cases and so on my shelves i have my lion king on there but it sticks out above the other ones which is really frustrating we got uh lion king 2019 this is another one i got from uh griffin my buddy griffin that i believe when i was in california was like hey i hated this movie you want it sure i'll take it so now i have it we have london has fallen the second movie in the has fallen franchise i think a lot of it seemed like a lot of people like really disliked this movie i didn't have any issues with it i mean like great cinema or anything like that but it what i want to see is gerard butler shooting guys in the face and it does that and there's like a single take action sequence that was really well done so i got what i wanted out of london it has fallen so sometimes i get confused with ones like that like what do these other people want from this you have lone survivor one i've had this for like years now and haven't watched it yet it says peterburg mark wahlberg there's all these things about it that it's like i'm the prime candidate to watch but for whatever reason it just hasn't happened yet then we have the long shot fun little kind of political uh rom-com of sorts with this odd couple there just is like so much energy to it that's it's unexpected pairing that somehow works and while it's very political it manages to to balance it we're a lot excuse me so much of uh hollywood political um when they tackle paddle talks it's so one-sided and this one balances and that's very much was uh appreciated we have a looper the ryan johnson film that led to him getting star wars the last jedi but it's a time travel film with uh hitman out to get himself emily blunt's thrown in the mix and just a very dark film but a really solid film and even there's some amazing little sequences and it's just horrifying i mean it's not a horror film but like there's this sequence where there's this guy desperately trying to return something in time while he's being tortured but in a different time point in time in the timeline and it's just this horrifying sequence as his body parts are disappearing like as much people in a crap on ryan jackson like the last jedi you can't watch that sequence and not realize this guy's got a lot of talent then we have the lorax i've seen this movie way too many times because kids like the music and the bright colors and everything so having it came at one of those points in time that it's a movie that all of my kids have gone through a lorax phase so i've i've seen it a ton it's i guess fine lively enough of things for them to watch on loop i don't hate that that's one of the ones that they watch on loop i don't love it either then we have the lord of the rings and the hobbit trilogies all six movies in this one little set right here it is the theatrical version so i do not have the extended cuts of these ones i have the normal versions of it and uh i'm not the biggest lord of the rings fan so for me the theatrical versions that's the right right amount well right amount for lord of the rings still too much when it comes to the hobbit but you know when people like have you watched the extended cuts of lord of the rings yeah it's three extra hours okay that's that feels like probably too much for for my interest in the franchise but um i appreciate your zeal for the franchise final one of our l's love and monsters this was my favorite movie of last year came out of nowhere i hadn't seen a trailer for it didn't know anything about it didn't know what to expect put it on my wife was sitting next to me i assumed she wouldn't like it and then we both just loved it it's just a solid film that uh did everything that we wanted it to do so love and monsters a uh a movie if you haven't checked it out i highly recommend it just um it channels the characters and story so well it pays everything off in a way that was so satisfying that brings us to m and i believe m is my biggest set of movies because i use mcu as a category so right there you've got over 20 movies plus all the other m's that i would have first of which is machete started off as just a trailer in grindhouse and then they went people responded so well to the idea of a machete movie starring danny trejo that they decided to turn it into an actual feature to film intentionally attentional schlock fest that i don't know if it's good but there is some fun carnage in it we got madagascar my kids enjoy these movies a little bit i don't know two very low brow low hanging fruit for my taste but they're certainly energetic and puts a grin on my kids faces so fair enough then we have the original mad max now i i grew up watching the original trilogy of films not so much not so much this one right here but these two right here i watched all of the time back in the day always road warrior has been my favorite of the bunch and then thunder dome just it kind of loses a little bit of the the vibe something so i'm just not not quite right with the the whole whole ordeal even the parts that seem like they should at the beginning he's got his you know thunder dome and stuff still not doesn't have that magic and we got fury road which did recapture the magic plus gave it way more money so it's just an incredible production while being faithful to the vibe of the road warrior but also being in its own thing and um so a lot of you are are younger than me and so you didn't grow up on the mel gibson ones and so fury road's the one that you know but for me i have that special place in my heart with the original ones but uh they just did a it's incredible how good fury road turned out to be after literally a 30-year break then we got the magnificent seven remake from antoine fuqua i [Music] i dig this movie like a very fun modern western blockbuster we don't get a lot of westerns these days and so having one that has such a star-studded cast where you have denzel washington chris pratt vincent d'onofrio and more while you know having a budget and then antoine fuqua knows how to handle action so it's just a real real fun movie for me you got major league i've always dug this movie just a solid baseball comedy um fun cast charlie sheen is one of our leads in there that uh yeah if you if you haven't seen it you like baseball movies definitely want to check that one out brings us to man of steel so all the ones that i've organized and stuff man of steel not with the superman movies okay i i don't know why batman got his own section but superman didn't apparently i i don't know making that what you will i've always uh in i've dug this movie but i've i've grown in my fondness each time i watched it first time watch was like okay i got a lot of that i'm confused by a lot of it like what were they why did they do this why'd they do that and then every time i watched i understood zack snyder's vision just a little bit more where he was going with it and hopefully now that we're just about on the corner gonna get that third film in the trilogy maybe it'll kind of complete that vision and um you know we'll we'll see what comes of that but uh you know i as a big superman fan seeing a zack snyderified version pretty cool mary poppins returns this one was fun because i went to go see with my daughter and so very fond memories of this one and um you know emily blunt is such a fun person to continue the franchise and so it really captures the vibe while being a modern version and it doesn't feel like it's just trying to rely on nostalgia but has all the nostalgia that you want in it then we have the couple of matrixes one of them the generic version the other one this fun steel book right here one of the great sci-fi action movies of all time i was actually pretty critical of it when i first saw it because i was like this is just like ripping off it's a little bit the terminator plus a little bit of this anime that i just saw and i didn't get like that's right that's what makes it brilliant it takes all these things mixes them together and it works and it's its own thing that's the brilliance of it i didn't get that but uh uh soon enough a little bit after it came out around the time it came out on dvd that's what i was like it clicked for me i loved it ever since then we have the maze runner double feature so i don't have the third one but i have the first two i didn't read the books i didn't watch these when they first came out but i checked them out when the third one came out and um i i kind of had fun with them but i was kind of like okay that it just kind of to me felt like generic y-a-type movies that i'd seen a lot of the other movies in the genre before i saw this one so these these ones didn't really pop to me all that much that brings us to our mcu section and my nose at this point in time will probably be killing me here henceforth i've talked about the mcmovies ad nauseam on my channel so i don't need to go through my specifics so we'll just kind of go pretty quickly through these and kind of show you which versions i have of each of the movies so i have this best buy version of iron man steel book for the incredible hulk nice very cool looking one didn't come with a digital code though that was a little bit frustrating then we have the 4k of the incredible hulk that i believe i received through my fan mail and i've been trying to slowly future proof as well so whenever i see one of these movies now whenever i buy them i buy the 4k version of future proof uh so some of them i have two versions of them because i have that 4k thrown in the mix too then once again the best buy iron man 2. and it was the best buy basically did a version when infinity war came out so whichever ones i didn't have on blu-ray whenever infinity was coming out i did a road to infinity war series that's where i bought a bunch of these so they'll have the similar slip cover the best buy one for thor actually had two for thor somewhere around here i have a second copy of thor that's the old version from when it first came out got the old version of captain america the first avenger um and you can see this one's actually pretty beat up because i've had it for for ten years now one of the first blu-rays that that i own then likewise a nine-year-old one for the avengers but as well the 4k i believe received through fan mail and so uh still have them both in the collection probably by next year the blu-ray will be cycled out of this stack moving right along another one of the best buy versions for iron man 3 but i have the old original version of thor the dark world and i had to rush out to get this one actually fun fact this is the only mcu movie i didn't see in the theater i skipped over this one as a busy time in my life but also it just seemed like forgettable as it turns out i was right so luckily the one that i skipped out was probably the one that was least important and interesting to see in the theater but i do have my original version of it then we have captain america the winter soldier the original release version guardians of the galaxy uh this is this oh this one actually has the blu-ray 3d 3d blu-ray plus 3d fun fun then age of ultron with the 4k and the regular one ant-man best buy version captain america civil war best buy version as you can see there's a bunch of these that uh when i went into the infinity war one i i did not have them on 4k all right blue red blu-ray most of these i still don't have one on 4k but i um i didn't buy blu-rays for several years um because so busy in life prior to starting this channel and then when i first started this channel i just have a lot of money um because i was underemployed and so i was delivering paint and this channel is my side hustle i was trying to make it work trying to make it work trying to make it work so i didn't have extra money and then going after thor thor ragnarok came out i started to make enough money from this channel that i could actually use the money i was making the channel i start buying blu-rays that's the reason why all of these ones for the marvel movies why did i buy them when it was that infinity war because that's when i started actually have disposable income again to be able to start wearing blu-rays and started to really expand my collection and the first uh collection video i did on my channel uh back from 2016 i believe it was had my dvds included in it too so it was um you know to drop those eventually but anyway i'm getting sidetracked doctor strange this is the original release version of it but that's also that would have come out right right on one of my skill on my channel then we have guardians galaxy vol 2 original release version so these ones are gonna i think stop being the best by version they're just i bought them when they came out essentially for all the rest of these spider-man homecoming thor ragnarok one of the movies that changed my life when this one came out uh was i when i had my ranking of the mc movies after this one came out is my first video that cracked a hundred thousand first to crack two hundred thousand first to correct three hundred thousand and it changed the trajectory of my life and then doubling down on that three months later black panther came out and put out the two videos my mcu villains ranking vimsu heroes rank the first time i ever did that and those two videos are still the two most viewed videos on my channel in um they turned three years old a week ago and those videos changed my life they're the reason that my channel took off and why i'm able to do this full-time and then okay also got the 4k on this one a bunch of these ones were i believe from some neat sent them to me the 4ks on my channel so once again next year probably cycle out the non 4k versions of them as i'm future proofing and all that fun stuff infinity war ant-man and the wasp and then we get to the point time where well nope nope captain marvel i i didn't start future proof i don't i'm not worried about that we're getting that one on on the 4k uh then for end game however i got the fancy one i i rushed out to right one blessed by blessed blind best buy open to try and get the a slick version of it so i got the fancy steelbook for this bad boy right here a bunch of discs in there got that 4k and everything so this one i end game was a movie i was like i gotta get the good version as you can tell from my collection thus far i'm not the guy that's normally like i'm going to get the collector's version end game that's a collector's edition one and then 4k for spider-man far from home that is my mcu collection right there my set of mcu versions what versions do i have of them and also why m's are such a large letter there's also just a lot of movies that start with them like megamind one that i got in my fan mail actually i hadn't seen this one before i don't believe and i was doing my uh dreamworks ranking so finally checked it out an interesting movie because superhero movies are kind of this top genre so movie is a little bit ahead of the curve on stuff like that we got memento really important movie in my love for films right as i was starting to discover movies that were smaller indie films and not just movies where things explode and people kick each other and punch each other in the face memento came out and one of my buddies like you gotta see this movie it's backwards i was like what does that mean he goes just go watch the movie you know what i mean so he took me to go see memento and uh it was one of those movies that made me realize movies can be awesome without needing a bunch of explosions yep men in black a huge movie i you know i once one of those target age movies for me uh came out when i was only one sneeze do i get more yeah i've been talking what for four hours straight three hours i don't know i've been talking a long time and i'm surprised my nose has held up in my you can hear it in my voice a little bit that i'm losing it to some extent but we're only at the end we got a lot of letters left men in black such a huge one for me um everyone watched this movie everyone loved it everyone talked about it and it's pretty wild because you know i you know will smith's obvious why he was like the leading man for stuff like this but tommy lee jones was like people he was just as funny and it was such a weird pairing it was perfect also probably also kind of why men in black international just doesn't really work because it doesn't feel like this oddball that's trying to do something wild and crazy just felt like what's the safest thing that we could do oh two people from thor ragnarok and i love chris hemsworth he's so fun charismatic charming all that fun stuff but that just it just feels like such a safe version of this wild wacky and weird franchise moving right along we got missing link i've actually never watched this movie i don't think i've actually seen any leica films so people have spent time doing like a ranking i don't think i've watched any of them so one of these i need to i need to just do it um buy all of them watch all of them but bought it because it was cheap and i meant to watch it and it just hasn't happened that brings us to our mission impossible movies so for the original set of three i've got this collect this next collector study i think the extreme blu-ray trilogy that's the one that i have it's the genericist version that you can have those ones and then i've got just the original release of ghost protocol love that movie and then we've got mission impossible rogue nation original release when it came out that's the one that i bought and then this one came out uh after my channel had come out so i got the fancy steel book version of this one is it where do we have the 4k in here no it's blu-rays and dvd unfortunately i didn't future proof wasn't thinking ahead on that one one of the great franchises out there that it's 25 years old and it's on the top still and fallout might be the best of the bunch it's the sixth movie so um tom cruise when you think of just great movie stars his name of course comes to list he is a great actor but when you think just movie star he knows how to entertain the audiences then we have mr peabody and sherman i i love this movie my family loves it everybody loves this movie and it's a one of these films that didn't do that great at the box it wasn't like a bomb or anything but it kind of came and went there's like time travel chaotic energy it's so good but it seems like one that not enough people talk about got missed out fire i was at the perfect maybe wrong stage of life when this one came out a perfect age wrong stage of life it's a movie about divorce and it might be the first movie that my family went to go see after my parents got divorced like timing on that one because it's such a great movie so fun and funny but it is about divorce and my parents have just gotten divorced so bad timing there moana uh the last decade of disney movies mostly just rock solid really good set of films moana being another great movie in that set of films uh some people liked it more than i did i'm not as i didn't love it i thought it was really good but i didn't love it the way some people did even other people in my household much like the movie coco they like it more than me and mortal kombat maybe the greatest comic book movie of all time i rewatched it uh just a couple weeks back in anticipation for the new one coming out gonna do a ranking maybe a couple rankings related to that and it is still a nice piece of 90s cheese it knows exactly what it is and delivers what the audience wants you have a money ball and aaron sorkin's script telling the story it's a baseball movie but not really about baseball it's about how you make a team in baseball just a really fun way to do that so um i love a good aaron sorkin script and so just a real solid film then we have the mummy the brendan fraser mummy from over 20 years ago i i've never been as big of a fan of this franchise as you would think i would because i'm such a adventure movie fan prime age for when it came out for whatever reason i've never loved them but i've always had fun with them i'm not even sure if i saw this one in the theater and i don't know why i wouldn't have gone to go see it in the theater but i did go see the the second one in theater remember that when i saw the scorpion king but for whatever reason i i think i missed that one in the theater which is weird we got murder on the orient express i um a nice kenneth kenneth branagh who done it obviously based off the agatha christie book uh solid cast i enjoyed it um maybe because i i knew enough i knew the ending before i saw it it didn't hit me as hard as maybe i would have hoped it would have but solid version then we have my little pony this movie was not as annoying as i thought it was going to be maybe it's because i went to go see with my daughter so it's just a real fun memory of you know daddy-daughter date type deal but uh i i kind of dug it and then it's gone through several phases in our home of where they've gotten back into my little pony and so then they sometimes they obsess over it watch this movie a lot and other times it takes six months and they don't watch it but uh this one has been shown up in my home many times and had many phases now on to and we've got napoleon dynamite one of the quirkiest and most i don't one of the oddest comedies of all time that should not have been such a mainstream hit but somehow managed to find some something that connected with a lot of people i was working with teenagers at the time and middle schools in particular and this movie was everything at the time quoted non-stop and uh put so many smiles on so many faces then we have national treasure two not number one but number two i think we own the first one but once again things go missing in my household a lot another one of our blockbuster picks i like both of those movies solid set of movies baffling that we didn't get a third one while he was still on the peak and uh he spent the last decade trying to like pay off his debts or something like that doing all these directive video things and now he's doing these like these niche horror films why did we not get national treasure three back in the day i don't i don't understand what am i missing here both of them were big hits and i'm sure would have been big paydays for him then we have newsies one of my wife's movies um i don't i've never watched it my sister loved it back in the day my wife loves it these days it's a christian bale musical with bill pullman as well but not my thing but um wife and sister dig it then we have the nice guys shane black movie from just a few years back that a lot of people really dug that film loved it and i i've seen it a couple of times now and for whatever reason it's just not quite the right movie for me um i think i understand why other people like it but for whatever reason just didn't hit click specifically with me brings us to a nightmare on elm street the box set dealio um with uh the original film through new nightmare and i um so i had seen the original many many times and then one through three or two and three as well many times in particular three but i never seen four five and six um until i bought this set to do my ranking and everything like that and um there's a good reason i watch those ones they're not nearly as good as one and three and so but it's kind of interesting to see then um new nightmare is kind of this prototype for what he kind of was doing scream trying to do this meta stuff with it that was perfected with scream but um the original one i've seen many many times we have nightcrawler very cool little thriller that just a clever idea with a transformative performance from jake gyllenhaal it's creepy to watch him turn into this just sleazy character they have non-stop of these lamination liam neeson thrillers he did a bunch of them with his one director and i mentioned the commuter earlier this is nonstop is the one that's like it's like the same movie but one's on a plane and one's on a compute commuter train this one is the the first one i think it's a little bit better uh both of them are a little kind of as they go along get more and more ridiculous and um get you by the time you get to the third actor like i don't think it makes any sense however this works but okie dokie um but i i like of the two that one a good bit more because it's the first one then we have the notebook i this movie came out right as i was in my lovey-dovey phase of life and met my wife so this was one of our our movies that was like pivotal to our dating use and then where we were living at the time when we were newlyweds was like an hour away from some of the shooting locations for this film so we'd go like on you know date afternoons out to the islands and stuff where they they shot some or edisto island where they shot some of this stuff so this is pretty fun nice little movie so it's kind of important to us and then you know obviously rachel mcadams and ryan gosling have gone and have big gigantic careers over the last 15 years but i also read the book um i wouldn't normally read a nicholas sparks book but because the movie was so important to the two of us i decided to actually read the notebook and in this case the movie is actually much better it uh it's interesting because this it the movie basically takes what is like two pages in the the book the the book is basically about like the what if these people got back together and so then you know the book only has like a few pages talking about the summer where they first met and then his time in war and stuff like that and the movie spent like 45 minutes on it and so it feels much more like this epic love story when you see it in the context of the movie whereas it's about like and then it's a book ended with the story of them aging so it's just like epic we can't corny at the same time the book is just about like what if these people had this um this fling and got back together this very different vibe telling the same story anyway the none um very dull movie in the conjuring universe and baffling baffling choice that uh they cast via ferminga's sister who looks just like her as the lead in this so i was watching this and i i was waiting the whole time for them to be like and this is actually young warren whatever the lady's first name is from the the main conjuring movies but it's not it's not tied to them the character's not tied her at all they just for whatever reason cast her younger sister who looks just like a younger version of her so i was i was actively confused watching the movie as to what they were implying and they weren't applying anything they just cast cast the lead actress from the main conjuring movies her sister as this character and it's set in the past and doesn't mean anything time for the o's we'll kick it off with oblivion and uh for me a pretty disappointing little tom cruise sci-fi flick it's from the director of tron and apparently mr cruz and the director got along because now he's the guy that's doing top gun maverick i i i thought it was just very kind of dull for all its big ideas tom cruise in the lead twist turns it didn't didn't pay off all that well for me unfortunately then we have our oceans trilogy and collection fancy version of it where it where uh it the set comes with paradise and a deck of cards so pretty cool and then just kind of i'm sure the generic version of the movies but nice nice packaging first one ocean's 11 the the remake are really fun heist movie cool cast everything about it kind of cool and the sequels not quite as good didn't live up to it but uh that original one nothing will take away from the fact that that is a cool fun heist movie got office space classic office comedy shot here in austin the mike judge the director of it writer director i think he wrote it all right did i lie did i make that up director what does this say yeah uh written and directed by mike judge uh he's a texas boy to king of the hill which is obviously texas based and then he did this comedy and so you i just watch it and it just feels familiar because late 90s that was my formative ground of growing up years so it just reminds me of so much stuff and it's really funny and quotable too olympus has fallen die hard in the white house with gerard butler i'm sold antoine fuqua is great with the genre so um i i just really dig this movie just watching gerard butler this out of its little slot watching gerard butler kill a bunch of terrorists in the white house that works for me once upon a time in hollywood quentin tarantino's last movie that he did i really dug it it's like a hangout movie in hollywood in the late 60s and then it's his revisionist history is you go to the third act this bananas violent and everything you want from a uh quentin tarantino third act uh but i i really dug it only the brave another one from the director of um oblivion as well as tron legacy and um obviously enough i don't have a ton of his movies but both of them are in o's and o is not a one of the letters where the fewest movies but two of them are from the same director haven't watched this one yet though so that's why i'm talking about the director and not really saying anything about him what uh over the hedge i have very nostalgic memories of this one because it came out the summer 2016 and i was interning at a church and we did uh we're on a retreat and we're supposed to go to a texas beach and so we did like this two-hour drive to go to the beach from this camp in the middle of 90 minutes whatever it was camp in the middle of texas drive to the beach and then started raining so the beaches were closed or what it wasn't gonna be fun so we ended up going to the movies and we went to go see over the hedge and uh it's it's a fun enough little film probably forgettable throw away in for most people but for me i have fond memories because that was a really neat summer for me it's the summer i got engaged and so all this kind of neat stuff and then saw this movie on the trip and we've made it to p and we'll kick p off you can tell i'm tired and uh my brain is gone bananas because i said and that brings us to pee and i just started giggling like i was five years old fun times i'm about to take a break because we're about to finish row number two but pacific rim guillermo del toro kaiju big gigantic robot movie nothing much to say about it it is fun to watch gigantic robots punch monsters in the face and guillermo del toro is a great director for this sort of thing um second one pacific rim uprising a lot of people were very critical of this film i never fully understood why because in my mind it's a it's a goofy concept obviously del toro is the better director but it's a silly concept from the get-go about robots and like it's not high cinema or anything like that so i got robots punching each other punching monsters and stuff like that i got what i wanted out of this one so i didn't have issues with it but um that's just me i'm i know there's people that are a little more purist with the kaiju genre that i'm not that i i just see big monsters and big robots punching each other this is awesome but that's my simplistic mind pagemaster now we bought this one i never seen it we bought it because it has um mccoy colkin our kids love him from home alone one and two and then it's you know dragons monstery that's on my finger got a little piece of plastic on my finger um so it seemed like something our kids would enjoy and we just never watched it so one of these days we need to like put it on just because to see how they respond to it before they get too old work then we have parasite i mentioned earlier someone sent me several of bong's movies one of them was parasite and then he sent sent me as well as the host and snow piercer and so i i've watched parasite i've watched snow pierce i haven't watched the host yet but uh this is another one i was able to see at fantastic fest this is actually it was a double feature at fantastic fest where i saw parasite and then i saw knives out and that's what closed out the the film festival it's pretty cool because it turned out to be the best picture winner for the year and the knives out which was people really dug and what's cool about thing at a film festival especially fantastic fest it's all at this one movie theater so i was just standing outside and this black suv drives up blacked out windows door opens guy gets out of it i don't know who the guy is but because he's getting one of these black suvs with the tinted windows i was like i bet that's someone that's going to be important and i saw the guy and i was i just um was like okay what movies are showing tonight okay parasite oh that's that's probably the director of parasite i didn't know the guy's name didn't know what he looked like but i was like i'm guessing that guy's related to the movie parasite and then parasite played walked up and it was bong i didn't know what he looked like at the time that's bomb right there and so i saw him get out of his vehicle but that's what's pretty cool at these film festivals that they're just people how does big gigantic movie star big director person the director of the best picture winner for 2019 how does he go to a movie theater rides in a car he says it's not interesting that's not a great insight but you forget they're real people and how's he going like he's not a big famous person at the time people didn't recognize him in the us because he hadn't won best picture yet and parasite hadn't come out yet so he just got it no one kind of noticed like when um actors that are recognized get out of their vehicle people kind of swarm to him and stuff like that but because where he was at his career at that moment he could just get out and kind of walk around no one no one really recognized him and then you know like i mentioned before with ryan johnson he was there for days and so there was always kind of people going around to be like hey can i get a picture can i talk with you but uh at other times he was just kind of there and there wasn't a lot of people around him and it's that humanizing of these people that seem like he's bigger than life personally i was pretty cool anyway parasite i i dug it um i wouldn't have given the best picture that's not the one i would have picked i'd give it a very positive review but i wasn't i the final 10 minutes where it kind of really goes with i i didn't dig that as much and i didn't feel the final twists and stuff were earned it seemed like confusing messaging um because i it i don't know maybe it's what i'm missing something it didn't seem like these people weren't mistreated to earn what happens at the end of the film enough so i struck me as odd way to end the film you got the patriot nice little roland emmerich revolutionary war mel gibson film that has heath ledger in and jason isaac i i i dug this movie it's like a braveheart came out when i was in middle school which was one of those early rated r movies i got to see a best picture winner that was yeah loved it throughout my high school years and then this was kind of you know obviously totally different character and everything but another mel gibson period piece violent war epic and not as good as braveheart but for me another solid one but and as it's about the revolutionary war so it has a little bit more like yeah america type vibe to it naturally as well then we have the peanuts movie that i what a great little um adaptation for the modern era so true to the characters and the humor and everything but computer animation that's following the style of the classic cartoons and cartoons and animated pieces so really dug that movie and my kids watch it all the time [Music] that brings us to that brings us to let's get a drink time if i don't finish this quick enough you'll probably also get burp time soon but we're almost to break time we're four movies away from a break five moves away from a break pet cemetery uh this is one i didn't i didn't watch the original film until this came out and so i think i watched this one first because i didn't want it to be i didn't want to review this one biased based off the other one or maybe i watched the original one a week before this one i think that's what happened i think i watched the original week before i saw this one and so i didn't have i i just watched it mostly it's kind of its own thing and i thought they made just enough changes for it to work a little bit generic but at the same time finding some real creepy type ideas because the central idea of what kind of the plotline of this graveyard and everything inherently pretty creepy and i thought they found some new stuff to do with it so i i dug it enough and we have pinocchio my buddy andy once again along with lady and the got pinocchio and he didn't want pinocchio so he's like hey do you want pinocchio and i was like i will take pinocchio i've got kids we'll check it out and um yeah so now i have pinocchio then that brings us to final three movies on row number two pitch perfect one two and three i pitch perfect one is like on loop in my household it's up played all the time uh when we first watched it was when it came out we got it from redbox and i don't remember if i fell asleep in the middle of it or made it to the end or what but i remember that night i kept waking up and pitch perfect was always playing i was like what time is it midnight okay i fell asleep early was i guess my wife wanted to finish the movie or something two in the morning why is my wife still watching pitchfork four in the morning why is my wife still watching her six in the morning and my wife was still watching pitch perfect i don't know if she stayed up all night she watched the movie like four times in a row and the next day i was like did you love this movie or something like no it's just it's kind of something on in the background that was a lie turns out she's a huge anna kendrick fan and anything with singing and someone that she enjoys turns into one her favorite so she this movie was like played for a year straight in my house she loved it and she even when the second movie came out she was still in denial she's like didn't even go see it in the future like no i'm not that big of a fan she was she was it was it was a lie third one however no this we've never rewatched this one we saw it in the theater bought it because it was cheap and i wanted i'm a com enough of a completionist that i have it but um third one is not third one not on the same level of the other ones even the second it's not on the same level as the first one but it's kind of mirrors the aesthetic enough that it's kind of like more of the same third one's like what it's like a action movie and they're breaking onto a boat what is going on here i thought this is weird anyway that brings us to the end of row number two row number two for me had 224 movies so if you combine that with row number one as is literally almost a hundred more movies in row two versus row one um combining with row number one we are at 356 movies thus far now i know why this is so unbelievably long but also our secret word if you finished row number two which is even longer than row number one congratulations secret word tangerine row number one was red apple if you finish row number two comment down below you are a tangerine level accomplishment unlocked i don't even know what i'm saying at this point in time thank you guys so much for watching i really do appreciate it especially videos like this that i put take so long to film i mean i think we are over four hours of filming and me talking so that you care enough to stick around that is remarkable and it's time to go to row number three and row three begins with our planet of the apes films got the original plan of the apes this is kind of one of these best buy repackagings but you know just planet of the apes one of the classic sci-fi movies of sorts one of the classic twist endings for a film and the beginning of a franchise that's still going all these years later we've got dawn of the planet of the apes now when i heard about this movie the concept of it i was so cynical and i was like ugh that sounds terrible like just a bad idea for a reboot remake whatever it is and so i didn't see it in the theater and i didn't think the trailers looked very good and i didn't get it then it it came out i don't know if it was red box wet but i rented it watched it by myself i loved it i mean i loved it i was like that was incredible i mean i went in cynicals and he was like i guess i'll give it a shot now and i was like wow that that was so much better than what i imagined it could even possibly be and what i missed and what they didn't sell very well in the trailers is that uh james franco isn't the star caesar is andy circus is and he's he's he's probably my favorite movie character of the last decade that that you think it's about the humans so many of these blockbusters they make the mistake of making about the humans and it wasn't it was about caesar they kind of led to them able to make this great trilogy of films in the second one continues that path where you go into it and i was so excited for the second one and it lived up to my anticipation loved loved it um and of course you know reeves is now going to be doing the batman movie but um what he did with these ones of being able to have the blockbuster action but like tragic drama to it so good and then for war for the planet apes i've got the um got the steel book version of its beautiful little packaging for it but such a great set of films and legitimately i thought they sounded terrible terrible when they were first announced we got point break catherine bigelow keanu reeves patrick swayze classic little 90s action film and the movie that led to the fast and the furious because fast and furious the original one is almost like a beat for beat really make a point break just replacing extreme sport surfers with drag racers and it's the same movie beyond them then we have a trilogy of pokemon films that i received in my fan mail a few months back and that was a lot of fun because it was for my kids someone new my kids like pokemon and so they sent me pokemon movies for my kids and so then they've put this one in a bunch of times and um not my thing at all so i don't have anything to say about them but it's just fun to both the moment of like wow someone got something for my kids that's really cool and then of course it's just fun to see my kids having fun with pokemon something that i don't understand but they do then we have this very cool version of the criterion collection version of police story i mean very like awesome packaging stuff for this one and um so another one i received in my fan mail and the original the first police story is one of my top three favorite jackie chan movies and probably has my favorite fight choreography from him it's a little bit more vicious than a lot of his stuff it's not the prop foo it was like him at his prime he tried to make it in hollywood and it had a bad experience and he went back to hong kong and he did the police story just really awesome stuff there's this fight at this mall and it's just vicious and i love love love what you did you get more that in police story too but i like the first one even more so uh once again someone the guy got me a bunch of jackie chan movies to try and get me to do uh jackie chan ranking and hopefully i can now i don't think they would work on my main channel but i started a second channel sean chandler plus so that i can talk about more things and have a place to cover stuff that i haven't been able to do on the main show because i just wouldn't do well and i wanted to have a second channel where i don't have to worry about algorithms and what will won't work i can just talk about whatever i want that i'm falling apart that brings us to the predator movies first off we got a triple feature of predator predator 2 and predators the original film as i've always i've said many times on my channel uh perfect sci-fi action film builds the tension just right predator 2 never been a big fan of it actually um always been one that i feel like i should like more than i do with the cast the aesthetic of everything this never clicks for me and predators i think is a nice follow-up that i think is under-appreciated i think it works better than people give it credit for it's actually written by robert rodriguez at least the first draft of it was it was like old script that they brought back out that it's a bit safe of a concept for a predator sequel but i don't think it's a bad thing like oh no you gave me a predator movie with elements that i enjoy i mean like why why complain about something like that and then we have the predator from a couple years back and pretty big disappointing film especially because i uh left my wife and newborn baby in the hospital to go see that movie baby was a day old there wasn't anything weird or any about like you know they were sleeping family was there and everything like that but new predator movie i covered and everything i gotta go see it she's like totally fine go go watch it and then i was like oh well that wasn't good that was not good at all and that's the movie i left him in the hospital for fun times now moving along we got the prestige christopher nolan film about a pair of illusionists in competition a lot of people love this movie one of their favorite nolan films and love the twist and everything at the end i have uh i've never been as big of a fan of it i mean it's a very well made film has his craft to it great you know well thought out like big idea about illusionist what if you took the format of a magic trick and made a movie out of it all that's very cool i think it's the two lead characters that heard it for me that um i just can never get into it as much as because i just don't can't root for those two characters then we have primal fever this is one that i own i've had own it for a long time bought it i'm not i don't even remember if i've seen the movie i remember the big twists at the end of it but i don't know if that's because i've seen the movie or just because i knew what the twist was but had this for a long time it's just kind of been sitting on my shelf and i've been meaning to watch because i like this type of movie i like the actors but i think this was the movie that really put edward norton on the map um that going back 25 years ago now that um even before american history x before fight club i think that's the one where people like who was this guy he was the up-and-comer guy at the time then we have the prince collection and this is a pretty cool one because it came in my fan mail and basically someone's a fan of my channel but they're a big fan of prince and they wanted to share with me the things they were passionate about and so then they sent me the a a picture of prince actually right over there sent me a prince funko pop that's right up there on my shelves and as well as this collection and then the soundtrack for batman 1989 which prince did the soundtrack for it it's really cool um that someone wanted to share what they were passionate with about with me and i hadn't seen these movies before so it was also pretty cool in that regard of like introducing me to something new so i that was a really really neat little moment and we have a princess bride of course classic family adventure films quotable memorable such a also just like a a vibe that's so unique to this film that um there's no other movie like the princess bride but um it's the 30th anniversary blu-ray edition which doesn't mean much of anything a couple like tacked on special features but it's the 30th anniversary edition then we have the prince of egypt i hadn't seen this one until just a few months back when i was doing my um dreamworks ranking so i watched all through all the dreamworks animation films and so finally watched this one for the first time and some people like my their mind was blown by that i was like i mean it came out when i was like 17 years old or something like that so it's just not there's no reason that i would have watched this when i was in high school or in my early 20s and so it just didn't wasn't one that i grew up with so i hadn't seen it till then but it's a very well made film has managed to be pretty engaging while being a um very serious film that's for the families then we have prisoners i haven't seen it i got it my fan mail i will be watching this one later this year uh i would have watched it last year and i think that's what the person knew that i was prepping for my danny villeneuve ranking for when um dune was supposed to come out and then it was delayed a year so frustrating i plan to watch it someone even sent it to me which is very thoughtful they're like oh i know he's gonna be watching this he hadn't seen it send it to me and then the movie got deleted so that's the reason i haven't watched this one it would it would have happened what last november or something like that and so yeah i'm going to watch all his movies do do a ranking on them is the plan it's interesting because i'm not sure if i'll just do the hollywood ones or his foreign language ones as well i'm not quite sure we'll see what happens uh but uh it is coming it is coming in the future then we have the psycho series all four movies in one collection i i bought these a while back planning on doing a ranking of the psycho movies and then it just hasn't happened it's been sitting on my shelf waiting to happen because it's simple it's only four movies it's not like when it's epic franchise or like 10 movies or anything like that obviously the first one is the classic and i don't i don't know anything about two three and four it just hasn't happened yet and so hopefully maybe this year will be the year where i watch the psycho movies and write them and pulp fiction one of my favorite movies of all time i actually had some people surprised that i was a big of a fan of it um because obviously normally kind of the big franchise and pulp fiction's not that indeed underground crime film but that's almost kind of what makes it it's it's different from what i'm normally into and it's if you're born when i was born this movie was huge because it was this indie film that was mainstream and like for my parents it was this revival for the career for john travolta so there's a lot of kind of these interesting little dynamics that play into why movies are so important for you but tarantino back in the day if you if you weren't kind of around during the 90s when he on his rise to fame it's so is very different perception from what he is now because now he's this guy that he's just been established for 25 years but he was this guy that kind of came out of nowhere making these small little indie films that he wrote on himself and then he became so famous that they started buying his other script and he'd already sold some scripts it's just a very interesting path to where just like this movie nerd became this a-list director so um anyway getting into story time i need to stop doing that because i need to finish this this is a long video there punisher this is a cool one because it's a european uh blu-ray release it really says this in the us you can even see it's you know or r18 plus and on this it it has like a work work unrated work cut of the movie that's not refined at all like it's it is legitimately like the work print version alternate cut of the movie and then as i can interview with dolph lundgren and it's legitimately him at a gym and just someone with a video camera like filming him in the gym is very cool street level stuff so i appreciate that about this version of the original punisher movie yeah punisher war zone i you know um it's a movie with its flaws but it's also it is a pretty good adaptation of what they're going for with that batch of punisher comics that they're trying to adapt these gareth in his ultra violent ones it is that it's i don't think the budget was big enough to have as much action as it needed to have so there's some big stretches where it's just very talky for a punisher movie but it's good enough then we have a couple of the purge movies i guess the first two purge movies first one um kind of a waste of the premise turns like this great premise about like what if crime is illegal into a home invasion film which is an odd choice and they fixed that with the second one and they made it like let's spend some time out in the purge while crime is legal with frank grillo in the lead it's so easy for me this is the best of the purge movies and uh um not great cinema but like a nice like fun premise to do that type of movie action horror thrills all of it kind of combined just enough commentary in it to feel like interesting without feeling heavy-handed or like come on now what are you thinking what are you doing doing all this preaching in a movie like this which brings us to our r's and we kick it off with ragamuffin now i actually got this one just i don't know not one one of my last uh fan mails i haven't had it too long if you're unfamiliar basically you probably are basically the story of rich mullins who very famous christian songwriter that lived a very interesting life and died tragically far too young in a car accident and so really interesting guy that i've been one that i want to check out i just haven't had time and i've only had a little bit of time but um um he um had a lot of connections to um native americans and charity work and even though he was very famous as a songwriter always lived a very humble humble life it was just so interesting because he's someone that didn't the fame didn't in any way kind of go to his head or anything like that and it like there's all these songs that churches across the world sing and continue to sing to this day some of them and just a very humble person just trying to serve others then we have the raid duology a couple of the best action movies of the last decade the first one very simple premise same plot basically is dread um one of them being sci-fi action the other one being martial arts extravaganza and then the second one kind of like ups the scale scope and size of the story but both of them just having these mind-blowing action sequences that are just vicious brutal inventive and awesome we have ralph breaks the internet huge disappointment for me i love wreck-it ralph he was very excited about this movie and even the first half of this movie i was totally digging it and those at times being like this might be better than the first one and i really don't like the second half of this movie it really the last forty percent of the movie it gets to a point time where it kind of resolves the plotline was like okay that was weird that was quick where are we going with this and then it introduces a new plot line and it goes in this whole direction that i just as soon as that happens it killed the movie for me all right now we come to our rambo movies and all but one of them are 4ks and i did a review series and for whatever reason the way the universe played out we got 4ks for everything except this one and um like best buy had a sale and so even got great prices on i believe four of these ones and then the sale for the second one was on the blu-ray not the 4k unfortunately so we got first blood great movie that you forget how good of just a thriller it is it's not this over-the-top 80s action movie like the next two in the franchise really solid movie about the treatment of veterans and excellent second one over the top 80s stallone vehicle written by james cameron one of the fun facts about that one but um such an iconic film doesn't age nearly as well as first blood but one of those movies that was pivotal for turning rambo or stallone into the legend that he is we got rambo 3 that was one of the of kind of classic era action movies pre cgi but of like just practical machine guns explosions one of the biggest action movies of all time it was following up this massive hit that was the second one and so it kind of gets lost in the mix like it's not that it's a forgotten film because the second was so iconic and the first one's so good third one is kind of the one that was like didn't do as well as they were hoping because it was so expensive and then the conflict it was tied to was resolved by the time the movie came out was bit of an oopsie and that like really bad timing and then historically speaking basically rambo was helping the taliban oops so um but at the same time because it was so big budget it's like kind of the peak in a sense of an era of action movies then 20 years later we got rambo and it's just a real nice brutal vicious return to the franchise that could have been a fantastic bookend to end things if they just left it there because the first one is about him wandering on the road and this one i want to say too much resolves that like as for where the first one starts and this one ends bookends and then they decided to do one more which i i like these kinds of like dark revenge flicks but it feels like a just a really puts a bad taste in your mouth as an epilogue to these four films that were resolved so well with this one and then it's like and then this happened also and you're like i don't know that i like that being the epilogue to it this doesn't it doesn't add anything to the character by giving us this little snippet as stallone's ultra violent take on taken except with cartels instead of european sex traffickers um i can have some fun with it there's especially the you know the carnage of the last 30 minutes of the movie it's certainly very satisfying for people who like that kind of thing like me but that's part of the franchise that's a weird weird way to end things then we have rampage it's actually a video game movie but it's much more a rock vehicle fun carnage nothing much to it total taco bell movie of just if you want to watch the rock and a bunch of gigantic creatures destroying cities we have this movie so you can have that adventure ready or not i'm really enjoy samara weaving in these types of movies and it's another one of these types of movies that's uh fun to watch it's uh basically people hunting her in a mansion her trying to not die got like adam brody they're actually really fun cast like adam brody andy mcdowell in there and some others that familiar faces just real nice quirky nature to it i don't didn't love it as much as i was hoping i would i was thinking i was gonna like love it i was like really liked it instead of fully loving it there's a couple things i just wish they'd done a little bit different but still solid though got ready player one i loved the book i liked the movie it felt like the dumbed-down version of it it was for me one of the i'm not normally the person that's read the book before i've seen the movie and so this for me was like ah the bunk was better i was that guy for ready player one so um uh there's things i wonder if i'd seen the movie first how much more i would have enjoyed it but having read the book everything just felt like the dumb down version then we got red one and two the dual pack version of it the first one's like a fun uh old old um actors doing an action movie one more time just kind of has some fun with that concept and it has a carl urban and it kind of is an antagonist to them of sorts there's an antagonist to them and so just a nice solid film the second one i think i've seen it but even if i have i've even forgotten that i've seen it that's which is not a good sign i think i watched it last year it's actually based off of a dc comic and i'm gonna do it ranking of all the dc movies and i tried to do it last year so i think i even watched red two last year but i don't remember that's that's a bad sign that's not the best thing then we have red sparrow i haven't finished this movie i um um bought it because it was cheap i don't remember did i do i don't remember the exact order but i bought it because it was cheap i think and then go went to watch it and i was hoping for one thing and it wasn't quite that it's like the first 40 minutes is very very rapey it just kind of like brutal in a way that wasn't you know i heard from other people if you can get past the first 45 minutes it has some really neat espionage stuff and the weaponization of sex and that's what's going with it but just watching the rapey first bit of it was in the dehumanization of these characters to prepare them for the weaponization of sex was just not for me reign of fire another one of our blockbuster picks if you don't know this is a early christian bill pre-batman christian bale with matthew mcconaughey battling dragons from rob bowman who was one of the big directors with the x-files as my wife likes dragons so it's one of those early movies that we're both into together watching christian bale and a crazy matthew mcconaughey battling dragons um we we've been meaning to re-watch this one for a while it just hasn't happened and it might be fun it's maybe a little bit too stark for our kids but um maybe they would like it because it's about dragons i'm not sure then we got reservoir dogs the original quentin tarantino film and um pretty remarkable how good he was right out of the gate just the dialogue his characters his ability to have a take a familiar plot line you just have a unique spin on it to where it's like it's literally kind of a remake of this movie called uh i believe city on fire it's a hong kong film and he remade that but he was like what if you didn't even show the heist in the heist he did and it it's totally unlike the movie that it's kind of remaking in just such an interesting way and that's that's what quint tarantino is so good at everything he does is familiar but totally tarantino and we have the revenant i haven't watched it another one i got in fan mail that the the guy keeps uh some i believe some neat sent to me because ask me i haven't been able to watch it yet like you said there's a there's a lot of movies that i'm watching for other things um so hopefully in the near future i can check that one out or when we have a new dicaprio film i can do some sort of dicaprio video but i haven't seen it yet unfortunately and i don't even remember why i didn't watch it when it first hit theaters we have uh rise of the guardians watched this one last year for the first time uh tied to that dreamworks ranking that i did pretty fun little concept i i guess i enjoyed it enough not one that um there's some things that i enjoyed some of the specific characters a little bit more than i liked the product as a whole road to el dorado i was pretty disappointed by this one because i didn't i don't i like that really dug the animation style to it another one of these dreamworks one side of that ranking i just mentioned and i like the characters quite a bit but excuse me i like the animation quite a bit but the characters i did not like they're just too selfish too much causing their own destruction that i was like i'm not on board with this one we have robin hood the classic uh disney animation one another one for my buddy andy i guess this is the third of the three movies where he got them in the mail forgot to cancel a subscription and then gave them to me which i appreciate but um once again if you don't want lady in the but no kyo and robin hood what i don't know what he was subscribed for i need to ask him one of these days you know robinhood prince of thieves the extended version i love this movie this is my favorite version of robin hood it came out when i was like 10 years old i was the perfect age to be like oh i get to watch a pg-13 movie and it's robin hood and i didn't know anything about accents to know that kevin costner was dropping his accent or anything like that and then even beyond that a great alan rickman that was probably my introduction to alan rickman because i wouldn't have seen die hard when i was 10 or hadn't seen die hard when i was 10. therefore him as the sheriff of nottingham that was kind of where i first saw him and then you know of course went on to realize he was a fantastic actor and one of the great action movies the villains of all time but also one of the great whatever genre you would call the swashbuckler villains of all time they have robocop not uh not the original one but the remake this is i actually i better than some people give it credit for it certainly generic doesn't live up to the original bad idea to try and remake verhoeven actually does have some fresh ideas in it but the the movie as a whole kind of loses it it's it feels to me like it's a movie that was designed to be 30 minutes longer than it was and maybe in editing they they chopped it back but the first half i felt like it established up it's a really cool stuff and as soon as it becomes robocop it rushes through everything and loses all the cool stuff then we got the rocketeer uh i saw this one in the theater bank in the day and absolutely loved it and that was the summer or is the next summer maybe i went to disney world and so they had like a rocketeer actor stunt show type deal and so i got my picture taken with this guy with the helm and everything like that so i have such fond memories of this one but it's it's uh based on actual comic books so it's a comic book movie but um just a real fun joe johnston throwback to 30s 40s um it has like an indiana jones vibe to it but while not being anything like indiana jones but that throwback to that time period the technology and the aesthetics and the type of exciting action adventure so a really cool little little flick then we have rocket man um there's kind of a i like this one a lot more than rap city this is what i wanted bohemian rhapsody to be kind of this artistic version of a biopic and this is had this artistic flair to it that matched the creativity of the creator whereas i didn't feel like that's what they did with um uh bulimia rhapsody sorry i was looking at what i was doing next and so forgot what i was doing now then we have my rocky movies so for the main original series i've got this version of them whatever one was available when creed 2 came out and then got the creed 2 as soon as it came out this is actually my second copy of cream i scratched up my first copy that's why this one is in plastic because actually i have the digital copy from my previous version but i wanted a disk of it on my shelves with my other rocky movies so now i have it um but yeah just just the normal versions on these ones obviously one of my absolute favorite movie franchises of all time then we have role models i i guess i've seen it one or two times kind of random throwaway comedy from like 12 years ago another one of these blockbuster ones that i bought and because it's a blockbuster one in the case of this one it's in a dvd case and so it's too tall so it uglifies my shelves by sticking up at the top but uh kind of paul rudd well everyone knew what he was but he was more of a side actor with transitioning to be a lead guy now he's of course in the marvel and everything like that but uh i'm rambling and that was actually my camera cut off because it had been 30 minutes that's why i said cut there that was a weird thing to do my brain wasn't quick enough to be able to say something more intellectual than that then we've got rumble in the bronx another one from that fan mail with a guy who sent me all the jackie chan movies and this one in particular is fun because this was the movie that brought him over to the us uh it was actually a hong kong movie that they re-adapted cut it recut it put out in the u.s and introduced a bunch of people like me in the late 90s to jackie chan and which was so pivotal for me and transformative for me in a lot of ways and now it's one that i can show to my kids and this is kind of like peak him doing the prop foo where he's running around hitting guys with refrigerators and arcade machines and stuff like this was perfect to show my um my son um then we have run all night one of the better liam neeson thrillers there's just a real solid little um drama about these old-time criminals with a long history and then their sons get into a bit of a mess and it's just like it's got drama drama tragedy to it and some cool liam neeson action at the same time and right in the middle of that time bunch of them we're all about he's like a deadbeat dad but he has a set of skills and he's a hard drink right in the middle all of that stuff so um a fun one and then we've got the rush hour trilogy and these are the ones that brought jackie chan to the mainstream rumble it they basically what happened was if you don't know this um with rumble and bronx they started adapting his dubbing his hong kong movies for the us and they did super cop operation condor and they did that for a couple of years and they did a little bit of money mildly profitable won me over and then they teamed him up with chris tucker and they did this movie called rush hour and it became a big hit it's kind of you know you know chris tucker had was it was like two they found like the perfect mix for a buddy cop movie that combined two audiences they had great chemistry they were funny and you had chris tucker's fast talking jackie chance fast fists and it just worked it was the right movie at the right time and so then it became a big hit and then the second one was an even bigger hit and it took a little bit too long to do the third one so it didn't quite make it as big of a splash but um very cool package for the trilogies what i need to rank these ones one of these days i really need to to rank these ones it's actually kind of one of those ones where i was waiting a little bit so i could watch them with my kids so now we are at that point time where that could happen but we haven't watched them yet and we've made it to s's there actually might be more s's than there were m's we got star trek and star wars in there and a ton of other things as well so a lot of s's and then we make it to the final stretch of this whole deal right off the bat we've got the sandlot i am the sandlot generation came out when i was 10 11 years old i was the target audience for this one so it's always had a special place in my heart because everyone went to go see this movie everyone was quoting it and then it became kind of this kind of family classic that to this day people still talk about at least people my age still quoted maybe i don't know if other people do saving private ryan steven spielberg's classic world war ii war film about the war itself and of course you know it you know the whole movie is of course famous but that opening sequence uh is the one that's kind of the most memorable for being i mean just capturing the destruction that was uh uh storming enormity then we have the saw collection one through seven i didn't watch any of these movies until i had this channel i'm not you know the idea watching people getting tortured isn't really my thing and so i hadn't seen any of them and then jigsaw came out and so did a ranking of them bought this at that point in time maybe maybe about it then i don't remember about it a year ago but um there's actually more merit to the franchise there's a lot of just watching people getting tortured but there's a little bit some intrigue to the way the mythology ties together and parallel storylines and stuff like that and then i would have done an updated ranking with my current style insights and everything like that had it written in everything watched all the movies and then 2020 yet and so the book of saw got delayed a whole year and so i have to i've already i've written an updated version of it but enough times past that i'm going to want to watch them again so it's even more my current thoughts and it's also like doing a ranking based off notes you wrote a year ago isn't the same thing as based off of i watched it wrote a lot of notes a week ago a month ago so i just need to anyway but it's the generic just this case oh look what we got here we've got digital codes in there the generic kind of version of the song movies the cheapest one you could buy there's actually a bunch of cheap ones for it then we got schindler's list um very recently got sent the 4k in my fan mail which is greatly appreciated and then i had kind of the generic blu-ray one for it but you know one of the i guess the to the other side of steven spielberg's world war ii uh content of one is the war film one is just the tragedy of the reality of the holocaust and that's what you know schindler's list is that movie that just puts you there and it tears your heart out as you kind of see it but tries to add a bit of a bit of an uplifting vibe in a certain sense of the lives that were saved but also just seeing the the reality of just the horrible uh time in human history they have scott pilgrim versus the world one of the most unique films ever made from edgar wright that is based off these graphic novels and then it has a video game aesthetic to wait the way it's done and the way the fights are done you've never seen anything like it it's also very music based such a unique fun experience and way to do a movie the secret life of pets too i didn't like the first one very much i liked the second one a little bit more just kind of maybe the characters the change of the storyline whatever maybe it's just that by the time the second one came out i had kids that i could go take to go see in the theater it's just a fun memory for me and my kids but i like this one more than the first one we have seven one of the great serial killer movies of all time part what makes it interesting is that it's um [Music] if you just look at it on paper it's the cliches it's the tropes of there's a serial killer with a gimmick and the cops have only got so long to catch him and you've got the jaded guy on the verge of retirement and the cocky up-and-comer that they're partnered together it's like it's all the tropes but it's executed perfectly i don't have one of the fancy releases just kind of the generic whatever the cheapy one was like i said i normally buy a lot of the the cheaper ones then we have the seventh samurai and this is cool it's the criterion collection one another one i got my fan mail and they sent me like the super sweet version of it and if you don't i mean booklet everything i mean it is awesome and if you don't know um it's from kira kurosawa and he heavily influenced the american westerns where basically they adapted his samurai movies into western so magnificent seven is the seven samurai and then a fist full of dollars the spaghetti western the italian one starring from sergio alone clint eastwood is yojimbo and so so much of what we think of as westerns and stuff came from his samurai movies seven samurai being one of the most iconic ones of the bunch and then kirikou sarah also heavily heavily heavily influenced a guy named george lucas when he created some space sword movies that he did a couple decades after akira kurosawa did these iconic films in the 50s and 60s and so this is a very cool collection that uh you know pristine transfer of um the seven samurai and you know i they're not ones that i rewatch a lot because they're just aesthetically very different but we're watching them as movie critic guy now because i'd seen yo jimbo and sam and samurai way back in the day and i was watching them as kind of young movie fan guys like oh these inspired these westerns and they inspired star wars and appreciated them in one sense for that but then when you watching re-watching them or watching it um as movie critic guy and you start to realize when you watch as many movies i do the patterns and how much cinema changed in these techniques and stuff and storytelling that became so commonplace that were familiar to us now but at the time stories like that hadn't been told before and it goes back to what akira kurosawa was doing back in the the 50s then we have shadow another one i received in my fan mail uh checked it out a few months back i was i hoped i was going to do a video about it but the timing of when it came out and when i watched it i'm gonna watch it right um in december and i was taking a break and so i took a week off from doing videos and then in the middle of my break they did the disney investor day and i brought me out of it and i was just swamped for like six weeks straight and then this last month has been bananas for me so i was able to check it out and um just a a movie that the big thought was like i've never seen a movie that looks like this like the way that it uses colors and the framing of the shots and everything was just so distinct in uni like just when you think of movies that look cool look interesting that that was like immediately what i thought i thought about as i was watching it then we have a shaft the continuation from a couple years back a bunch of people hated it i i kind of had fun with it so it's a weird continuation because it's like the original was like a blaxploitation film second they're the one that came out not there's actually second and third ones back in the 72 but then they did the remake 20 years ago with samuel l jackson in it that was mostly like a straight adapt uh it was a modern day crime thriller film but it like it had humor to it but it was like it was a cop or you know shaft movie at its core is what it was with samuel jackson and then this one is like a straight up comedy like almost sending up the whole franchise it's a weird addition i had fun with it maybe it's kind of like samuel l jackson's it just has energy to it that was it was fun but um i i guess i can see why a lot of people don't like it then we have uh shanghai noon shane heights i think this is the last of our jackie chan films in the bunch between rush hour and shanghai noon i actually liked shanghai noon more probably because i like westerns and i like owen wilson and so it's just a fun little spin on doing doing the buddy thing with jackie chan and putting him in an environment i hadn't seen him before so i had a lot of fun with that i didn't like shanghai nights all that much i didn't think it adding to the mix them going to england i didn't think helped them out too much didn't add much to the mix but the first one shanghai noon i just really enjoyed the chemistry between these two leads it's funny it also has a young walton goggins as one of the villains in it as maybe the first thing i remembered him from i had seen him in the next karate kid before that but usually random guy in the background but i remembered him from this one he was just you know this goofy villain in it and just popped stuck out to me from from this film then we have shawshank redemption this is my favorite stephen king adaptation people not not some at times people forget to think of it don't think of it as a stephen king adaptation because it's not his normal genre but still based off something that he wrote fantastic film that is so satisfying when you get to the end of it then we have shazam in 4k just a great um i was just thinking to myself i didn't have any cues did i i was thinking as i was talking this is this is where my brain is at right now uh occasionally i lose my train of thought i was going through it and i got to it as i was talking it was like i had no cues anyway back to shazam i said do i not own a quiet place why don't i own a quiet place huh that's weird i thought i did own a quiet place interesting back to shazam i thought it was a lot of fun it seemed like the big as a superhero movie with zachary levi perfect as this child superhero but it's also a movie that has a ton of heart like it's about families and adopted families it just works really well you have sherlock holmes a game of shadows the second of the guy ritchie sherlock holmes homes i i dug the first one enough when i first saw it i've never been a big fan of this one for whatever reason it feels like it it lost what makes sherlock holmes interesting at least for me and kind of got gets lost in the style over the substance a bit but um anyway i own it then we have these shrek movies i hadn't watched these until this last year i you know i've seen things here and there it's not like i was totally foreign to the shrek films but i hadn't sat and watched them from beginning to end until last year this is a lot of fun and there's some cleverness especially in the first two loses it of course in the the third one and fourth one's kind of lose some of the charm but um yeah i uh knew to this one and whenever i ranked them last year that was that was my first time i'd watched them and you know bought this in have sicario one and two first one being one of danny villeneuve's films is a great really intense tense thriller that's dark and you know people were rooting for do things that we are not rooting for them to do yeah the second one i um that takes the guy that does some really bad stuff in the first one makes him our lead character which is an interesting way to do things but i dug it um i i hadn't been as much on the sicario train when the first one came out to like um be disappointed by the second apparently some some people were more disappointed in it than i was yes signs i've always i've always loved this movie as big fan when it first came out highly entertaining i i never had issues with the ending of the movie and the water and all that stuff that that never bugged me um and i just thought it was a great m night little film about faith and redemption family and has one of the great jump scares of all time it's not even a jump scare it's just you're watching the movie and the alien walks out on this tv broadcast and you just like the characters it's just done so well uh we have sing um illumination film plays in my household a lot kids love it because cute animals singing that's what kids love so i've seen that one movie way more times than i would like same street another one i got in my fan mail i had heard great things about it so that watched it um and um i mean i liked it but maybe it's because it was hyped up a little bit too much for me that i whatever it was that other people watched it it was like yeah so uplifting so i just didn't feel some of that as much as other people did when they watched it so unfortunately i wish i had a more insightful take for for for people i don't know what i was saying right now but um i mean i didn't dislike it but i'd heard so i people said it was like their favorite movie of the year and stuff like that and then i checked it out and i wanted to have that experience but that's not was it wasn't my take with him and we have snatch i mentioned this one a couple times in here before another big one for me when it first came out because it was kind of indie different type of film from what i was used to with people big explosions and people punching each other and face and then you have this guy named guy richie with his super dynamic style of directing and i i loved guy ritchie's first two movies so much and he just went off the rails for a while there for me and um that's why one of the reasons why gentlemen was such a pleasant surprise going back to kind of what i loved about these movies but like a more mature version of it but if you haven't seen snatch and lock stock into smoking barrels if you like kind of underground oh not it's like it's it's not it's not really like tarantino but like in a certain sense influenced by tarantino but very british and hyper kinetic um directing style editing to it but it's like tarantino in that it's still kind of criminal underground very snappy dialogue characters that pop that's where it's a lot like tarantino snow piercer the first the first the thirst server the third of our films from bong and um one that i hadn't seen until you guys sent it to me in my fan mail so i checked it out and i um pretty neat little film of it's it's tough to like even explain what makes it interesting because on the one hand it's like yeah this is it's like a revolution on a train and it's a post-apocalyptic future where the only people left are people on this train and there's all these little twists turns reveals all throughout the film that are interesting satisfying frustrating and it's a movie that just kind of when you watch it experience it it's uh a unique film because it there's not a point of reference to oh it's like this except it's nothing like that it's even as i described the plot that doesn't really help you understand what the movie is watching and if you don't know it's also a stars chris evans in a very non-captain america role the social network david fincher film about facebook on paper shouldn't be interesting but with an aaron sorkin script and david fincher directing it he just turns ownership creation lawsuits into this incredibly fascinating character study and um a very cool film i think i had that at number one on my david fincher ranking you have source code interesting kind of time loopy type movie about this train and trying to figure out what's going on and um with jake gyllenhaal hopping in in i don't know tough to describe exactly because it's it's kind of like some other things but it's also very different from them but um if you like kind of sci-fi kind of time-loopy type ones worth checking out here we have speed another one of our blockbuster selections great 90s action thriller some people described it as die hard on a bus that's a stupid way to describe this movie it is nothing like die hard it's just not what it is it's an action movie and it has kind of a hero in an isolated location but it's nothing like die hard it's much more this thriller with really snappy dialogue partially because joss whedon rewrote this dialogue for the movie and right now joss whedon is just not having a good month or not having a good year for pr type stuff but the guy could write snappy dialogue and so you have this great little concept for a thriller and it's the star making role for sandra bullock she'd been in stuff she's in demolition man and some other things but this is the one where she was like front and center in where she be started to become that a-lister another ones that sort of stab just establishing keanu reeves as a leading man just a but yeah great 90s action thriller that brings us to our spider-man collection so for the raimi films i've got this set for the trilogy uh yeah i've talked about spider-man movies to great length the so important for the genre that the raimi films were and um you know the first two are great third one flawed plot some of that's the studio some of that maybe remy stuck with the franchise a little bit too long needed to maybe do something else to kind of get a refresher whatever but for whatever reason the third one did come out all that strong but the the first first two some of the best and most important films of the genre then we have the amazing spider-man films that um i think the first one it's a movie that doesn't make any naturally big mistakes for me but it it lacks much of a distinct flavor to it and there's some just you know it seems like the the history of where it came from of they were working on spider-man 4 and the last second changed their mind and shifted over to this one and but they didn't click they haven't necessarily a full vision for what they wanted to be when they just wanted another spider-man movie by a date and so it's proficient it's slick enough in the way that it's done without necessarily finding a unique space i think that's why a lot of people criticize it because it just feels like spider-man but a little bit darker and uh but i think the two leads in it with emma stone and andrew garfield i think they're great on screen and have such a nice chemistry and they come off like real people even though they're in the movie with spiders powers and stuff like that they feel like real people and the score is great to it second one however i this is the mess it is there's some great moments between once again or two leads but the plot you can just feel the studio wanted to do one thing the director wanted to do the other thing they shot both movies and then they tried to edit those mess together and what we got was kind of a mess unfortunately as much as there's great moments in here the product as a whole not so much however spider-man into the spider-verse great it just a guy when i first heard they were doing an animated movie with miles brown i was like okay that's cool that they're gonna give miles morales a movie i'm not familiar with the character so this be a nice introduction and then they put out a trailer where they made it clear like multiverse i was like i don't know if that's a good idea where are we going with this and then they're like wait is that a talking pig um what what are we doing and i watched the movie and it's just it's so good the anim as as a spider-man movie as a miles morales movie as a multi-verse movie and just as a piece of animation itself it works on all of them it has something to say about peter parker but peter parker's not the lead character it has a unique story because it's miles morales it has a unique story because it's multiverse and it makes sense that it's doing multiverse gives you just enough backstory at our villain for you to actually care about him just such a cool movie that that it exists and is able to do what it does then we have split m night wasn't on the best track record when i went to go see this movie and i was like i dug them it was like a solid little thriller and then it does that final scene and reveals what the movie was and my mind was blown and what's even crazier about it is that the movie had premiered three months earlier at fantastic fest and m knight showed it to the festival and one of my buddies was there and he tweeted out like you guys are not gonna believe the twist for this movie and the twist didn't leak like we were able to be in that theater we've got that find something mind's blown and finally i could interpret that uh tweet from my buddy or facebook update for my tweet for months earlier that is pretty cool what m knight pulled off with that one then we have spy one of my favorite paul feig movies just like it's a melissa mccarthy vehicle but it's it does so many things great it is one of the best roles from jason statham who is playing the his type cast his usual role except the guy's an idiot and so it's so funny because he plays it with his all of his usual swagger and bravado but the guy's an incompetent idiot and it's so funny rose byron is kind of our villain in here and she's so mean and condescending so it's so funny i don't know it's one of my like i said one of my favorite paul feed movies and i like a lot of people hate his stuff uh i'm not one of those people so i i really dug that movie and even though it's r crass maybe because rose baron is maybe because my wife finds the jason statham stuff so funny but she actually really likes this movie too and i didn't even know that at first it's always a surprise to discover what my wife really likes but it was like i came home and she was watching it was like wait why are you watching spicy i just wanted to watch it and then like two months later she's like hey let's watch spy again and we discovered spy's one of her favorite movies she does it's like she doesn't even know what she loves and what she doesn't she has to discover it was stars born really dug this movie i um i hadn't seen the previous versions to it so for me this was the first time seeing the story didn't know it was going and uh it kind of deals with um the destructive power of addiction and stuff like that and i you know struggled with alcohol as myself was actually in recovery when i started this channel um you know i didn't have a job three days a week i was going to these three hour recovery sessions and then during the day would put out a few youtube videos that's what was going on when i started this channel this movie kind of touches on some of that stuff and just a lot of the right themes touch the right right point buttons and everything for me to like i think the phrase i used when i reviewed it was it touches on the full spectrum of emotions and the human experience like you have these moments of victory it's this underdog story it's a love story and it's a tragedy all wrapped up in one and that'll bring us to the star trek section of our list kicking things off there's actually one that i was sent in my fan mail very much appreciate because i'm a lifelong star trek fan and someone sent me a bunch of the star trek movies so this is the original cast first six movies that they did on blu-ray whoa the disc is trying to take me out so just kind of the classic versions movies in there um and i was able to actually do because i got these ones it made me go i want to watch these again so i did a ranking of them again i ranked them before but it was like it was literally the first ranking i ever did for my channel the style was totally different then i did a second one with my sister so the style is totally different my normal ones so i did another one that matched my actual style of my movies and i had uh this one of star trek two of the original ones it's the only one i had was was this is right here and uh it's the director's cut adds a little bit more to it my favorite of the star trek movies then i had this set going back i i this is actually still debatable to me but it's at the star trek next generation movies on blu-ray and my memory of where this came from was the office manager of the church i worked at good friend of mine out of the blue one they said hey here's your star trek movies and gave them back to me like yeah we finally watched them i know it's been a long time here's your movies i was like thanks are you sure these are mine this was three four years ago this happened i don't remember buying these before i don't remember loaning these to her my memories of this start with her returning it to me so i st i still kind of to this day believe i have someone else's copies of star trek movies so anyway it's got a slip cover kind of neat to it small little cases special features and everything so actually a nice little set to have i'm not just not sure that it's actually mine moving right along we have the new trilogy of films star trek 2009 actually a really important film for me a true story true story with that job of the church i just referenced um there's kind of some the way i i started there's an intern working half time 20 hours a week and then there's drama at the church the worst church drama i've ever kind of intersected with and i was debating whether i should take the job or not when they offered me to to go full time and one true story it was literally the right trailer at the right time trailer for star trek 2009 uh for whatever reason stirred the right emotions in me and i decided to to take the job there's obviously a lot more to it than that obviously a lot of conversations with the wife obviously years that led up to that moment of my life and i've been working for thought to it but in a certain sense the trailer for star trek 2009 did kind of tie into my like the story of me um ended up taking that job and i was there for um seven eight years um so it was a major part of my life and it's a movie i got to see um before it came out one of the early movies that i got into a press screening back in the day my buddy vincent took me to go got passes or something so i saw it like two weeks before it actually came out which was now that happens all the time but at the time it wasn't didn't happen all the time so it was very cool star trek into darkness i um when this one came out i was so worried about spoilers back to that church job working at that church and um the movie came out and you know they probably did midnight screenings but you know i didn't go to a midnight screen because i'd work the next day but i was at work and i was just so worried i was actually going to stumble on a spoiler on the internet because i you know watched all the movie news movie talk amc movie talking with john campbell and all those shows and i was just so worried i was going to see a spoiler so i left work to go watch the movie i was like i just took off and left work and i don't know if i told them what i was doing i just left work the only i think the only time i've ever done that just like oh i'm worried about spoilers i'm going to watch a movie it's going to go see it and it turned out there were some things that were in the movie that could have been spoiled as time has passed i've kind of soured on this movie a good bit and i enjoyed it enough when i first saw it i think jj makes these roller coaster rides that you enjoy i i've gotten frustrated with this one star trek beyond another important one for my channel because i watched it and then i ranked the movies this was my channel less than a month old and i ranked the star trek movies and little did i know i was going to be the ranking guy that's how my channel's grown is my rankings and star trek came out and ranked them and that started this little in a certain way what led to this channel becoming a career for me so always a movie that will have a special place in my heart be important to me uh of them i some people thought it was the best when they first saw it and loved it and it was like corrected the mistakes of the first two i i was always like it's good i have some issues with it and kind of always had some issues with it all right that brings us to star wars for our star wars the complete saga the first six movies basically the story of me buying this one was when they announced the disney acquisition i didn't have these on blu-ray and so i went out and bought this that day like i think that day i was like star wars i'm i'm in love with star wars we're gonna get more star wars so i went to best buy and i bought the this slick set right here and so it's it's almost a decade old decade old with kids and stuff like that it's had some it's got some dyno damage uh to it but a really cool little set that to have for for the movies it doesn't have the original versions of four five and six but uh which i don't know why i'm telling you that let me tell you what these movies don't have which of course you probably knew that because they have been released so anyway my mind is gone you guys actually know better how far we are into this better than i do because i'm uh i i'm filming uh telling you right now i think i started this six hours ago started filming so i've been talking like six hours straight that messes with your brain then we got the force awakens i've got this kind of openy bookie version of it i dug it when it came out i thought it was weird that the star trek guy did star wars as well i never it never bothered me that it was very much an homage [Music] i don't know if you lost my audio there i don't it never bothered me that it was very much a new hopi um you know there's some flaws in that there's reasons that it's not that holds it back from being like a great movie for me but i understand why they did it that there was a lot of frustrations with the prequels let's do something familiar even at the time it came out a new hope like 35 years old so it that never bugged me now the last jedi when i first saw it was the first movie ever was like i can't i can't give this a score i gotta see it a second time so i saw it a second time and was pretty frustrated by it and years later still pretty frustrated by it i there's there is a lot of talent that goes into aspects of this film there's parts of it that are just gorgeously shot i do not like the choices that ryan johnson made the direction that he took things and there's also some stuff where you know people criticize the force awakens for being too much like a new hope and so then they and then people criticized the risky choices they made with the last jedi and so then a section of the internet's like what you you wanted it to be different and you did something different now you're criticizing it for being different like well right but there's also a lot of stuff that's very familiar inside of the last jedi the basic setup there's a lot of empire strikes back in that of they're on the run from our dark side being on the punt like that's the base being destroyed that's the same stuff that's empire strikes back while our hero's being trained so it is very familiar it's still also copying the movie from the original trilogy but then also deconstructing the hero of my childhood and i don't like it i've got ryze skywalker in 4k the first of my star wars movies in 4k they tried to course correct the mistakes of the last jedi um i like the plot directions of this one i i guess better than the last jedi but it's a kind of a train wreck of a movie of them like trying to hodgepodge together a fix so last jedi executed its bad ideas better rises skywalker has slightly better ideas plenty of bad ideas in there too but executed like a i mean just feels like a duct tape together like we gotta fix this people were so mad about the last movie what can we do about it and they didn't come up with a great answer to them we got rogue one i really dug it a nice little addition to the franchise doing something a little bit different um with it great third act if not the third act i think elevates the movie a lot because it ends on such a high note it is a of the disney era movies that third act is probably my favorite act of all the disney era ones it's just so good how that movie ends um that it makes up for kind of a weak first two acts then we have solo i'm fine with it some people hate solo think it's pointless they're kind of right about it being pointless but i don't think it's devoid of charm there's things in it that i really don't like the what is it sjw7 or what orlando's robot not a fan of the robot and injecting modern day freedom liberty politics into star wars that's so on the notes like people like well star wars has always had allusions to different wars and what who do you think the empire right right that's not the same thing as this robot what they're what they're that's this there's allegory illusions and then there's just very on the nose let's repeat 21st century talking points out of a robot's mouth except about robot like come on come on and it does and even with where they go with that and then they put the robot in the millennium falcon so this freedom-based robot is now a slave to the millennium falcon forever they didn't even think through it anyway but i like the movie there's step brothers really fun funny comedy from will ferrell john c reilly of the uh adam mckay will ferrell movies this is my second favorite of the bunch talladega knights is my number one then step brothers i've never been as much of a ron burgundy fan as as other people storks uh haven't been up check this one out yet got in my fan mail um you know it's obviously one a little bit more for my kids than for me i don't even remember when it came out not not too long ago um so don't know much about it but it's not too terribly old but i i just don't know much about it they have straight out of compton haven't been able to check out check this one out yeah another one i got in my fan mail and i've been waiting for maybe a context for like a biopic um musical biopic kind of top five or ranking some of these ones uh but it just it just hasn't happened yet and i missed it when it was in theaters so fortunately a hole in movies i've watched we have street fighter i actually saw this movie opening weekend in the theaters i played both street fighter and mortal kombat a ton back in the early 90s and mid 90s as well so you know prime audience to go see this one in the theater so i have a lot of nostalgia for this very campy goofy bad movie i actually rewatched it uh just a few weeks ago because i'm hopefully going to do a video game movie ranking when the new mortal kombat comes out so i've actually watched this recently and it is um just as campy and bad as i remember there's some there's some fun to it it is a nice it's so purely 90s cheese that there's something fun about that but it's not good we have stuber i've been on a dave batista kumal nanjiani both of them been digging both of them for several years now so throwing them together in a buddy movie i i dug it i had fun with it pretty generic it's pretty familiar in a lot of ways my type of familiar and the two leads are really what sell the movie entirely for me i i've i had a lot of fun with it actually i think it was it came out um it's one of the movies my wife and i went to go see it tried to and we took the baby hoping the baby would sleep through it and then the baby didn't sleep through it so i watched the movie while my wife walked through the halls with the baby she was hoping she'd be able to no it didn't work out got super bad um one of the the genre the get to the party where you so they can do drugs and each other movies i'm not a big fan of this genre i i mean i'm amused by the movie laugh at it some people love this movie it's a genre i just never can get into that wasn't what my high school years were like obviously talk a lot about my time as a youth pastor this one came out let me see right before i was a youth pastor and so i guess i was in bible college to be a youth pastor like you know just not my world i i can't have fun with them but i they're movies that i always i don't know issues with some of the worldview and the morality of some of what goes on what they're romanticizing in these movies about teenagers doing drugs in each other and you're like these actions actually have consequences that the filmmaker is not thinking through the ramifications at all i think even in modern times with discussions about what goes on at college parties with the level of drinking they're suddenly realized wait a minute there's some questionable morality to all of this then we have super eight j.j abrams original story that's an homage to all of the um amblin films et and all that stuff and it actually if you're a fan of stranger things this and you haven't seen this one you gotta check this one out it's a bit of a prototype for what became very popular over the last five years with both stranger things and the it movies or especially the first one it's that sort of stuff of that aesthetic 80s nostalgia tween early teenagers that act like tween early teenagers a lot of the same stuff that you see in stranger things here's movie version of it about five years earlier then we have the extended cut steelbook for suicide squad and very cool packaging for a very frustrating movie that was not nearly as good as it should have been and um even though this is the extended cut it is not david ayers cut hopefully i'm hoping that snyder cut does well enough that they let david air finish his version of suicide squad because it by all accounts like he you know this movie one of the things people say about is oh that uses the soundtrack for character development and david ayers said on twitter like no that's none of that's from my my cut of the movie my cut had was about the score we didn't have any pop songs rock songs in it and that's they took the movie from him after the response to the trailer and deadpool and batman v superman they took the movie from him recut it to be like the trailer and maybe his version is better i don't know maybe someday we'll find out there's sweet home alabama this is one that is very uh tied to my marriage when my my wife and i first got married we kind of lived in a shady apartment in a bad part of town and so it was kind of terrifying to live there so my wife would put on sweet home alabama to help go to sleep as her like comfort movie while she was in a very uncomfortable place with all the scary violent crime around us and that's the place where we got robbed so fun times we have the sword in the stone the disney animated movie someone gave this to us i've seen it before it's been a long time so it's one that i haven't watched in a very long time so i don't remember if i like it or not but i own the blu-ray four which brings us to the end of our s's all right real quick before we start our t's i added them up we had 55 s's but we had 57 m's but keep in mind m's had mcu in it so it was a little bit of a cheat there on that one of just purely actual s titles looks like s's would win by a lot which brings us to our t's kicking things off a bunch of taken movies i both have how the way the universe worked out i have both all three of them as individual films as i well as a collection of them so i need to clean that out by next year but um i i put on taken movies a lot more than most people so i wanted to also make sure i had digital copies and i didn't have digital copies of all of them so but now i have two copies of all of them on disk and digital copies of all of them and some of them on dvd as well so i'm covered on my taken i really dig the original one like most most people it's one of these action movies that if you when you watch it there's so many corny elements but it delivers so well on the thing that it has to deliver on that satisfying element of brian mills taking out sex traffickers work so well on that level sequel's not nearly as good the director olivier megatron as i call him ruins them with through the editing still the second one i actually put on in the background when i'm going to bed sometimes just because i'm in the mood for i don't know what but so i put it on got taxi driver another one of the martin scorsese movies that people have sent me in the mail trying to get me to do a martin scorsese ranking all right checked this one out i rewatched this one um uh last year and hadn't watched it in a little bit and it's it really is an interesting little character study of watching this guy kind of descend and we've seen obviously with joker a very modern version of it but it seems like the sort of stuff that kind of so many movies have been influenced by but going back to the original one is interesting especially when you're like robert de niro and you think of so much of his career and watching him as this guy and getting mohawk going crazy and shooting up pimps and stuff like that um interesting little little watch uh after in light i don't know i said i'm losing it a little bit maybe i should have taken a break before i went into my my what letter are we on t's see right now right in front of you i'm losing i am travis brickel dick rickle i'm i can't even talk anymore i am him and who knows what i'm going to do tonight i'm going to put contraptions under my shirt i should i should uh i'm just going to keep going i'm going to pull myself back together you're watching me descend into madness right here in front of you and this one comes first we got our original teenage mutant ninja turtles trilogy another one i was the perfect age for it i remember going to go see the original one opening weekend and it played at a theater like across town i remember what theater it was the theater's not even open anymore i don't even think the building exists as it was at that point time and then the second one came out and they softened everything but i didn't notice at times still just look toca and razer this is amazing third one i've always hated it i've always thought it was a bad movie even as a dumb kid maybe i said uh batman and robin was the first time i was disappointed maybe it's actually ninja turtles three that's probably the actual first time i was like what is this how did how did they get this so wrong why is this so wrong and then re-watching it back in november and did a ninja turtle ranking rewatch and i was like this is so off how did they get this so wrong teenage mutant ninja turtles out of the shadows the second one in the michael they produced not directed franchise and um a movie that it's an odd one because it gets a bunch of things right does some good casting like stephen amell's casey jones but then gets it wrong at the same time like stephen amell makes so much sense as casey jones the actual writing and performance and everything just is off and wrong and the whole movie feels like that just something is off and not quite sure why like what how are you so close but so far at the same time we got teen titans go to the movies shouldn't be one that i enjoy but i really dug this movie and it's hype it's like chaotic it's noisy it's obnoxious but the reality is when i saw this one in the theater i was laughing out loud and it didn't feel like one that i should have been laughing out loud at and it was so random but so funny at the same time and a one that was a fond memory because it might be the first movie i took both of my kids to as a at a press screening that might be i don't i remember i actually did a vlog about it when we went to go see this one so it's a real fond memory and then my kids actually like teen titans go i try not just too obnoxious i don't want them to watch it too much but at the same time it's it's a fun in other sense brings us to my terminator anthology set i've got this version right here opens up like this so nice nice set terminator movies are frustrating because there's so many different versions of them and they don't all have the same special features which is kind of annoying so i've got that one and then someone sent me the director's cut of terminator salvation this set has the theatrical version so someone sent me the director's cut which was greatly appreciated not dramatically different but just a little bit more thrown in a couple more character moments couple r-rated elements that they wanted to be pg-13 for terminator goofy thoughts like that but um for salvation there is a director's cut that kind of fills in some of those gaps we have terminator genesis bizarre movie i don't i kind of glad that it exists because it's so weird it's such an odd concept and at the same time not good in other senses so you have terminator dark fate in 4k a lot of people hate this movie i i dug it and i've rewatched it i thought maybe maybe the only reason i liked it when i first watched it because i i saw it at a press screen that had gabrielle luna at it the guy that plays the the terminator in the film and so he was there with his family and did an interview in the room and everything with robert he was really cool and then the next day i got to interview him at a press junket the only time i've ever done a press jacket so it's a very cool experience for me so i thought maybe that's what like okay i was just swayed by all that but i rewatched it i stand by my i think that they had some interesting ideas there's some things i can criticize here and there about some stuff that they did but in general i think they found an interesting concept especially with the idea of sarah and where her where she's at and some people compared it to alien 3 the movie i hate the most in the world and i get where they're coming from but i disagree entirely with them i think i don't think it is actually like that one and we got a couple more texas chainsaw massacre movies once again gifts from some neat that i will be ranking them eventually he knows that he's been trying to get me to watch him and rank him it's coming it is going to happen he sent me several of the movies but i i haven't checked any i haven't seen i've never seen a texas translator movie and i've been to several filming locations for this one because they're right here around austin where i live and i used to deliver paint and so my routes took me to two specific shooting locations for the move so i've been where the movie was shot but i have not been to specifically i haven't seen the actual movie itself and is that right okay yeah that's the jessica b one then we've got the two the thing movies actually there's three the thing movies but the two that are kind of connected to each other then there's one from 1950s john carpenter's the thing now i've seen this movie several times over the decades but i hadn't when i first watched that i wasn't as crazy about it as i was other john carpenter movies and then when i rewatched it this last year for my creature feature when i was like finally like clicked like i got it like what people loved and the paranoia and everything very cool and i'd never seen the prequel continuation one that they did about 10 years ago until i was doing that creature feature ranking and really dug it uh well that was overstating i i i thought it was an interesting companion that touched on all the stuff that you like about the original one and found it actually fit in nicely with it the cgi looks terrible kind of hurts it a little bit it holds it back wish they'd gone with the practical and apparently they shot practical stuff and then they put a cgi skin on top of it because producers are sometimes stupid and studio heads are stupid from time to time but i i thought it was um it an okay continuation it was solid enough um that a couple of weird decisions held it back we have this means wore a mcg action rom-com movie of sorts about two styles two spies competing for reese witherspoon's affection with reese witherspoon tom hardy and chris pine and a lot of people hated this movie i had fun with it i thought i thought that there was enough fun in the cast and mcgee's dyn like he's so energetic with the way he does movies that i had some fun with it but it's not nearly as good as a movie with that cast when that premise should be and there's just like they just missed the mark on some of the most obvious things that you needed to get right with them we have three kings one of the early david o russell films great cast i haven't been able to check this one out yet so can't comment on it we got uh tinkerbell and the legend of the neverbeast haven't seen it one of those ones my daughter watches this part's fun going real quick we got toy story two and three i'm sure we own one but sometimes they go missing in our house obviously some of the great animated films of all time and um one of the great franchises of all time there's not a weak film in it and they found a way to keep touching on the same nostalgia while having something new to offer in each of the movies it brings us to our transformers movies we got the first one and we have revenge of the fallen this one from half price books and um i don't know i maybe it's other people seem to like really hate the second one and thought it was a disaster maybe it's because i i thought the first one was just kind of a goofy blockbuster that i wasn't as offended by the second one as other people seem to be but uh in re-watching it i guess i understand a little bit more there was like a writer strike that was happening so they'd rush the script so if you watch it there's stuff where like the plot just stuff just happens but um anyway it's a michael bay transformers movie that stuff's just happening is kind of that's what they are by definition then we have total recall the um paul verhoeven arnold schwarzenegger film based off the writings of philip k dick and just a great banana's paul verhoeven movie it's like combines arnold at his peak with insane over-the-top paul verhoeven direction and clever philip k dick ideas and you put it all together you just get a great sci-fi action movie that when they tried to remake it 10 years ago it just missed all everything that made it unique and interesting was just gone and but yeah the original one if you haven't seen it you gotta go check it out um such a such a great little memorable iconic film then we have the steelbook for the town ben affleck directed film and starring uh ben affleck i haven't watched this one yet it's another one i got in my fan mail i've been thinking about doing a ben affleck director ranking since um kind of very acclaimed director and i haven't seen i'm slowing down i'm in the middle of my thoughts lost it um once again we are in this final stretch where my brain is turned into mush and so from time to time i lose my train of thought and i need to focus again ben affleck has directed a bunch of great movies and then that last one he did wasn't wasn't as well received but uh and i haven't watched that one or this one and so he's like a great director obviously super famous actor guy and i need to to check them out so whenever his next movie comes out i'm sure i'll rank the the ben affleck films at that point time but it hasn't happened yet so i haven't seen the town yet we have the true just one of them we got the transporter the first one in the series luke basson written this it's like at some point in time luke bassan decided to take it some time off from directing movies and he became like a content mill we just cranked out these high concept action thrillers one of them is taken and one of them is the transporter and this was like a so for me i remember jason statham from lock stock and two smoking barrels and snatched that was my starting point where he's the funny guy he's like the funny wisecracker not the action guy and it took a long time for my perception of him to change like over a decade i just thought of him as the funny guy more so than the action guy but the transporter was where he that really started that transition and become punch guys in the face person and we have trained him sean in uh busan in the steel book very nice fancy case um zombie movie that i guess a sequel came out last year i didn't i didn't check it out so i didn't have uh thoughts on it on that one and we have a tremors four pack last year tremor seven came out to netflix so i checked it out i actually really dug it and it put me in a tremors mood so i bought this one and watched one through four and i've also watched five so i think there's only one more i need to watch and i've written notes so i could do a tremors ranking one of these days but it hasn't got one more i need to watch and i think it's on one i think it's on netflix so just need to do it and put that video like right as i'm saying all this i'm realizing like i'm really close to having these tremors ranking and i just didn't finish it we have twister the best movie about twisters ever made and a ridiculous mid 90s disaster film with all the cheese cornyness that you want a ton of fun i remember when it came out and like it made a ton of ton of movie it has money but not as well remembered despite how much money made probably because it is a bit of a pretty schlocky little concept and film in general all right we have made it to our final little stretch here i'm gonna do u and w together since there's not a ton of either one of these letters but first uncut gems a total change of pace for adam sandler and a movie that reminds us that he can really act the movie's um certainly not his usual comedy and it's not definitely not a mainstream film particular with where it ends and the legendary number of f-bombs dropped in the film but if you like kind of darker films the tragic kind of charactery things you want to see something different from adam sandler that is one worth checking out we've got two of the underworld movies the first one and the is it the second one is the second one yes second one germa what was the title of the third one the first and second underworld movies uh movies that gave us len weissman who for a little while was kind of a big deal and then doesn't i don't know what he's been up to as of recently but um kind of fun vampire versus werewolf movies kind of nice mythology to them bit of that post matrix aesthetic to them with everyone's wearing black leather a lot of slo-mo type stuff but you know kind of fun schlocky concept and execution we have unstoppable another film brought to you by blockbuster going out of business a tony scott little thriller with denzel washington and chris pine about in a train that is on the loose that they have to stop there's just a very effective little thriller it seems like a concept is like why why did tony scott tackle that one but it's when you watch you're like that was that was a good movie that that worked for what it was going for then we have up and one of the pixar pixar film highly praised some people have it not top tier of pixar films for me the the movie as a whole never lives up to the first 10 minutes because the first 10 minutes is just a master class and visual storytelling were they able to tell this entire couple's love story in life without any words which is incredible and the rest of the movie has some very cool stuff but for me wasn't as as good as the rest of the movie of upgrade uh le 1l's film that came out about six months before venom and does a lot of the same stuff that venom does with a voice inside of a guy's head to kind of take over to an extent with um logan marshall green who looks like tom hardy and those are the two guys that were in these similar type movies and i think this movie does the premise a lot better it's a movie i described like well crafted really nicely written that at certain points in time you're like oh is this where the story is going really and every time you're about to get frustrated by it it has a twist a turn that does something just different enough that you're like oh oh all right all right you outsmarted me you were more clever than i was nice and we have us the second film from jordan peel big disappointment for me i know some people love it and the messaging the symbolism of it all and the imagery and how artistically i like the home invasion stuff when i got into the third act and it's just got pretentious and preposterous to me it raised way as it it gave us answers it raised more questions for me that um kind of soured me on the whole thing this is not working for me and really made the movie not work because there's just no logic to it to hold the plot together it was like okay i get what you're doing with your themes but even there i think there was some problems and whatever the message that was trying to communicate then we got varsity blues movie about high school football in texas and it was actually filmed right here in austin and so i remember when they were doing the casting calls for it and everything and then it came out when i was in high school so as someone in central texas like this movie was huge when it first came out and as the years passed it's the same plotline as friday night lights kind of another tv show that was filmed right here in austin part of it was filmed right one mile that way uh from where i am at and then two miles that way for a car dealership the stadium that's in the opening credits is one mile that way the car dealership in the pilot is about actually like three miles that way um anyway but uh yeah varsity blues a movie that i i have fond memories because it does remind me so much of high school even the soundtrack is such the music of my upperclassmen years in so many ways brings us to venom we just talked about upgrade and then we have venom a movie that i don't think it's a good movie but it's an enjoyable movie and it's a movie that i wanted a sequel to it even though i had so many issues with it it's a very a strange film that has like it works in an odd way that um won me over while not convincing me that it was good i don't know it's tough to describe especially like the first 40 minutes or something before venom actually shows up was like what do we want what are we doing here and then tom hardy and venom stuff is so fun that it won me over we got walk the line i haven't watched this one yet big james man gold fan and i've owned it for a while but haven't watched i was gonna do a james man gold ranking and then that with ford vs ferrari and then but there's so many other things coming it just didn't end up happening i couldn't get it watched so can't really talk about it wally another example from pixar just great visual storytelling the first 45 minutes is basically a silent film and everything is understandable the lead character is endearing and cute and you unders like you you just get what it's going for and there's this massive twist where 40 minutes into it takes you in a different direction entirely and it works somehow it's coherent well having a very jarring twist we got warcraft um a movie that i've only seen it once and i i don't i thought it was an odd experience that it it kind of has a bunch of stuff that seems like it should be better than it is and there's a lot in there but it doesn't fully gel for me actually watch it pretty near in the future for that video game ranking that i keep talking about we got the way back this one was a big deal for me because it's from the director of warrior um which is one of my favorite movies of the past decade which i guess would be right here in this would it interesting enough it would have been the previous movie in this list so these movies will be right next to each other i do own it i just don't know where my copy of it went i guess i loaned it out to someone and never got it back so warrior one of my favorite movies the last decade would be right before the way back so it's the director of warrior returning to the sports drama genre with ben affleck making a very personal film as he struggled extensively with uh alcohol over the last five years and he did the movie a little bit as you know a coping mechanism kind of communicate what was going on in his heart and that's what the central plot of the movie is this guy on his way back and dealing with tragedy in his past and using alcohol to cope with it and then the plot of the movie the other coping mechanism and as someone that's been through rehab and alcohols and all of it uh he hit a bunch of solid notes for me uh it wasn't quite as good as i was hoping it would be because i wanted it to be like this a plus movie it wasn't quite that but it was like a a minus b plus type film first oh really dug it and it's one that uh because for the personal nature of it i couldn't my wife hasn't even seen it yet i've been wanting to watch it with her but she didn't want to go to the press screen she just didn't know how she'd respond in light of the plot of the film and so we haven't watched it yet and i've been it's both i've kind of really wanted to and she's wants to in theory but there's never a moment where she wants to experience that then we have wedding crashers um you know funny movie from back 15 years ago inherit nature of it makes it a little bit tricky womanizers that you take advantage of women at parties isn't one that i'm like yeah i resonate with that that is not a plotline that i really resonate with it makes it tough for me to like root for those characters falling in love and stuff like that but um i like the two leeds and vince vaughn and rachel mcgowan oh i guess all all the leads um actually it wasn't bradley cooper one of the the douchebag guy in it yeah i'm pretty sure uh pre super famous bradley cooper is one of the douche bags that i haven't watched in a while but like the whole cast is pretty phenomenal because you have um you know christopher walken and so many different jane seymour and so a lot of different people we have the wizard of oz classic film that everybody should watch at some point in time and someone sent it to me and my fan was that was fun because i got to watch it with my daughter and she's really into movies like this so that was a fun little experience someone sent him was like oh i've got it and my daughter had been wanting to watch it so i got to watch it with her that was cool then we have whiplash another one of these damien chazelle movies about the pursuit of greatness movies that shouldn't be very interesting because it's about jazz drummers it's really just really only got like these two main characters to it and it's so good and it's a you know the third act is literally just a drum solo and it's so good and it's so satisfying in a way that only a a world-class director could find a way to communicate what is being communicated in that final sequence without needing to say anything and be engaged as you're just watching a guy do this for 10 minutes straight and you're like wow this is so engaging it's amazing and if who framed roger rabbit uh movie that's uh yeah i watched a ton growing i've watched it a long time i was both traumatized by it but watched it all the time traumatized by it because of the dip and watching doom kill these tunes traumatizing but then i also watched it all the time so i don't know i don't know how that works with a wolf of wall street people another one of that morton scorsese films people sent me i haven't watched all this movie yet i've watched half of this movie and um i don't remember i just it's a long movie and i started late and i was like what was i thinking started so late at night but i haven't finished it yet i i was engaged and i enjoyed enough what i watched but um i don't know i've just never been a scorsese guy now it's not a criticism i'm not throwing shade but like people love scorsese and i'm just not one of them and so i've watched about half of it maybe it's like three hours maybe i watched an hour of it something like that but it didn't quite i mean i really really really need to finish it then we have wreck-it ralph in a crush destroyed case disc is scratched up it has seen a lot of action in our household beloved film my daughter uh the the baby daughter really loved that movie last night and she called it row row because she couldn't your kids can't say full name and then we put on either one of the wreck-it ralph films for her belong most mostly this one uh thankfully so i watched this one a ton a ton of time last year with with the baby that wanted to watch railroad we should watch it two times in a day we'd finish it row row row row row and we'd start it over again and that brings us to our x through z's this is my final section that is of the alphabet and then there's one more cubby with like assorted packs and uh season sets so x is it's my x-men movie collection so these are mostly steel books so they're pretty cool i've talked about the movies extensively so i'll just show you my cases so the first x-men movie this one is actually a pretty big movie because it came out right after i graduated high school and one of the movies that kicked off the modern era of comic book movies blade kind of set the path of like more serious tone and then this one was a hit movie but not like a mega hit and then two years later was spider-man which was the mega hit but a really important movie for the genre that the genre that changed my life and then we got uh the second one or whoa wait a minute what is going on here who forgot the alphabet there's the second one right there fancy steelbook third one in fancy steelbook as you can see then we have just a normal version of x-men origins wolverine i remember i remember be sitting in the theater being like oh this is not good just being so disappointed with what i was watching i back in the day i loved the weapon x story and i love origin story so naturally.com if you've got origins in the title of your movie i should be like i'm gonna love this and unfortunately no i do not love that movie then we have x-men first class a movie that i actively thought looked bad much like with uh um rise of the plan of the apes same with first class i was like that does not look good that is not going to be a good movie that's not a good idea for a movie and i went to go see it i was like that was a good movie that was a good that was such a nice one and as time has passed it just keeps creeping up my x-men ranking because it's so distinct love the eric and chuck dynamic between the two of them so i really dig that movie and we got the wolverine james mangolds prototype for logan that does a lot of stuff right and then kind of loses a little bit as you move into that third act gets a little bit cartoonish in a way that just because it's so different doesn't feel like it fits and we have the rogue cut edition of x-men days of future past basically the same movie but it adds a little bit in so it's a nice touch it's you know if you haven't seen either version and i don't think it really matters which one you pick if you're a rogue fan certainly pick the rogue cut if you don't know who rogue is this move once you're not going to be like oh it's so much better now that we have the rogue scene in it but if you are a rogue fan this would be the one that you want to check out brings us to deadpool in a nice steel book case fancy fancy and it's a solid enjoyable uh such a fresh refreshing movie for the genre because it was for adults so unashamedly for adults and such a great backstory of you know ryan reynolds played the character in x-men origins wolverine but it was such a terrible version with what they did with it and that but he fell in love with the character and they it was just this passion project for years and then the movie turned out to actually be good speaking of movies that turned out good this is not one of them x-men apocalypse a big disappointment especially after days of future past was so good and then apocalypse was so blah and just what what are we doing with this i don't understand why this movie is so blah then we have logan that's what makes this franchise so interesting is it's so up and down as to the quality of them logan one of the best comic book movies of all time and such a mature film so different and they they give them a chance to make this story about death and regret and it worked it was such a great send-off we have deadpool 2. i i think it's a flawed but fun film i think they they did two-year turnaround i mean it was two years and three months from the first one to the second one and i think if they had done a three-year turnaround it would have been as good as the first one but because they did that two-year turnaround i don't think they had enough time on the script so it just felt like they threw everything in there and um and then you have x-men dark phoenix a movie that had a very troubled production and then they they let simon kinberg direct it he'd written a ton of these movies and they're like hey look you've done it down let's let you direct it and it's it's not great to give some someone that big as their first director of them and apparently there's issues with it came out right around when captain marvel was coming out and so they wanted to use the scroll and they couldn't because captain marvel was using the scroll and there was apparently commonalities with like captain america civil war they had all these issues where they did these massive reshoots and it's just you know unfortunately the x-men franchise did not end on a high note speaking of a high note i really dug the movie yesterday this is one of these movies that uh as soon as i watched it in the theater i went i bet that's a movie my wife and i are going to put on a lot later tonight and that has become true even though it's not open it's because we wadded off voodoo with a disc plus digital so as soon as we could get it we bought the disc plus digital so we could watch the digital version and they mailed us the the copy um two weeks later when it came in because they do this goofy stuff they put the digital version out two weeks before the discs and stuff frustrating that they do things like that but anyway we we um i said we we i'm tired and i laughed that we we uh i really dig this but really this lead guy i've only seen him i guess in this an intent he's a small part in tenet this guy needs to be more stuff um just real nice on-screen presence likable guy brings us to our z's final letter of the alphabet after our magnum opus we are so close to the end finish line on this deal we have zathru or the jonathan favreau directed kind of follow-up to jumanji the it's not a sequel to jumanji but the book zathura is a follow-up to the book jumanji they're kind of in the same world the same idea of a game coming to life and so that is the follow-up to the book and so in that sense it's like a cousin to jumanji and set in space has some nice things in it i think it's it's a little bit it doesn't because it's it's them set in this house that's falling into space you don't get the full potential of we're doing jumanji in space because you're in a house and so you occasionally have these shots that are big vast stuff but it it's not really a space movie so it's kind of an odd one that i think they shot themselves in the foot a little bit here's a fun one that some guy some they sent me in my fan mail recently zombieland steelbook very cool little version of it um and for a super fun movie and this is what led to deadpool that they they did zombieland and when you watch it and realize that the deadpool script had been they'd had it for like five six years before they made the movie they did zombieland and then ryan rounds like these guys are awesome that's perfect for this meta thing that i want to do for deadpool and so when you watch zombieland in the light of deadpool you realize that it is kind of like this prototype for deadpool and has a lot of the same self-referential highly energetic and when you combine that with ryan reynolds and the character of deadpool it just really works but and of itself like a great new different spin on zombie movies that it's an oversaturated market where we see so many of them that are all kind of in the same type of zombie movie and then you get this that is just so fun and our final letter of the alphabet would be z for zodiac and uh the david fincher movie about the actual zodiac killer that is just a really compelling study of serial killers this real life story the obsession of certain people for stories whether a journalist or a cop and also just the dysfunctionality of the police of the complications that we have jurisdictions and things like that all the rules that sometimes can make it really difficult for them to work together the rules are there for a reason but the rules also have consequences and that finishes our alphabet but there is one more section to get to i walked out in the hallway to ask request that my wife make some dinner for me so i can eat right now so i'm starving because i've been shooting so long the baby heard my voice and she wanted to come up and see me real quick all right i got i'll be right i'll be done real soon even though it's your bedtime now because this has taken so it's an enormously long time to film but i'll see you real soon we'll be almost done almost done but i gotta go we're almost done and that brings us to the final section the other stuff the multi-packs the ones for a set of for an actor a director and a couple of season sets that i have first one up is going to be el mariachi and desperado maybe i should just put this in the movie section somewhere for el moracio or desperado but anyway basically robert rodriguez's um first two films in his story about the mariachi i loved desperado back in the day it was just such a dynamically directed action film i don't remember i believe i probably would have seen it before i saw john woo's hong kong work and so it was just one of the ones that like when i saw it i was like this is amazing and then realizing what influence robert rodriguez but like hollywood just did not direct action like that and so just loved love loved that watched desperate all the time back in the day and we've got the cornetto trilogy another one that i probably should plunk this one in for kineto trilogy but um edgar wright's um trilogy of simon pegg nick frost films they're all different genres but all really funny and i gonna do an edgar wright ranking this year i actually started watching these and prep for it so i watched baby driver and i watched uh hot fuzz and then they pushed back uh last night in soho or another night in seoul the next right movies got pushed back six months so i stopped working on that one but frustrating things about 20 20 21 tough to prep for rankings when you don't know when movies are actually going to come out and then we have a multi-pack of three movies body lines edge of darkness and pride and glory i've seen edge of darkness is a martin campbell uh very dark thriller about this guy that's kind of trying to figure out why his daughter died and what happened to her and it is a dark little bleak bleak film then we have a double pack of blood sport and time cop probably my two favorite van damn films uh one of them being classic tournament fighter blood sport now this is the first rated r movie ever so i was bloodsport still love it one of the movies i've rewatched the most in my life like when i just went put something on in the background at night time i put on bloodsport then time comp is you know van van damme action sci-fi film actually really good it's a 90s cheese that's not your thing it's not going to win you over but like you know van damme doing time travel that that's you know speaking the language of my heart and then we have a triple pack of friday the third or freddy and jason movies of the remake of each one and then freddie versus jason and so basically this was at the time the only way to get the freddy frustration on blu-ray i believe was this was the multi-background like a lot of money and i don't think i had this one so i already have that separate one for that one but anyway and here's one from some neat who i've mentioned multiple times throughout this video he sent me a lot of movies in my fan mail and uh so i actually actually fun fact back in the 90s i had a movie review website the jackie chan one but i also had a movie review page that was associated with the jackie chan fan page and one of the movies i reviewed totally forgotten movie mercury rising one of my very first movie reviews was mercury rising and then i hadn't seen the jackal ever before before he sent this to me so i watched that one for the first time so it's about talking about the this jackal himself um and it was kind of interesting just to see bruce willis is a villain in a movie like that and then we have this four film multi-pack right here this is like the most random set of movies you can imagine um they're not even from the same decade like executive decision is like a thriller a little bit of you know plane gets taken over guys have to get on to it and a ninja assassin it's a ninja movie and then blood like i don't know what that i don't know what's the through line i'm sure it's the same studio but what's the through line to put these four movies together sometimes i'm fascinated by stuff like that then we have this triple pack uh this one i do know what the through line is they are dc films that are not in the main dc comics universe all of them based up them so uh i i've i haven't seen constantine yet i've never actually never seen that film and but i will seen it by later this year hopefully when suicide squad comes out i'm gonna rank all the dc movies and as of last year i watched v for vendetta in prep 4 i wrote some notes and everything like that and i've seen it one or two times before and then very soon i'll be watching watchmen because i'm doing a zack snyder ranking but you know i've read the watch but comic book i don't probably read it every five years or so and have for the last i think i've read it four times so sometime in the early zeros i first read i might actually time for me to read it one more time maybe i should do that right before i watch it um as one of my homework assignments i've got my copy right over there on that shelf then that brings us to the final of our morton square cessy uh fan mail things i think i said wolf was but it's actually i forgot the three pack they sent me so i think of six of his movies they've been sent to me so whenever this ranking happens some point in time it'll happen um i've got three of them lined up for me the tricky part is like i keep mentioning doing the dc ranking and there's more dc movies than there are martin scorsese movies but there's a few things related to this first off if i do watch all those dc movies i get a lot of videos out of that there's a lot of things i can cover they're just prime content for me if i watch all these martin scorsese movies it's just the ranking or i could do individual reviews and i i'm just i'm not that prestige guy like i don't do retro reviews of 40 year old dramas that's not what i do and so then it's really just that ranking it's one video i get a ton ton of dc content out of out of watching all those movies and then beyond that it's it's a little bit it's like tiring to watch 20 10 movies straight 20 movies straight 25 movies straight from a single director who has kind of a single vision and voice that that's a lot to do in a time frame that you have to do to do a ranking it just makes it tough to watch all of them so you know he's one of the legends so i need to do it i plan on doing it i have the movies to do it now but i haven't done any of that so anyway i've seen the departed before i have never seen the uh aviator but i've seen good fellows and i've seen departed and um you know people ask me all the time like what do we love about i've never been that scorchy guy so i've seen them one or two times i've seen departed once because i saw it right when it first came out and i've seen good fellows a couple of times over the years but yeah i just i just haven't watched them as much to have deep insight and then i've got several let me switch this up just a little bit final set for when it comes to movies my sequal collection i just got in a cigal mood sometime during quarantine so i ordered this one and it's got uh under siege under siege too hard to kill nico it's called nico that's how you know it's the european version because in america it's called above the law so it says nico above the law here it's in the u.s it's just called above the law european called nico then his executive decision so i've got two copies of executive decision in this final little section here but i i'm uh i like i'm a big cigal fan they're ridiculous they're stupid but i love them and that's our last of the uh movies in here actually um under siege is his best film easily under siege two is written by matt reeves the guy that's doing the batman which is fun that he just happened to have written under siege too a lot of people hate that one i've always been a defender and then i'm also a big fan of hard to kill particles may be the one that i put on the most from there the literal final little bit we have these final right here are season sets for tv shows we've got arrow season two now season one not season three it's season two and that's the only one i have the blu-ray set for i guess i must have found it on sale or something like that so arrow season two one of the best seasons of air one of my favorite seasons blu-ray set there and then justified season one the it's based originally off of writings uh from elmore leonard who also did like jackie brown and a number of other things but uh it's worked started off and then it kind of turned into this great modern day western with timothy oliphant walton goggins i i've never finished the show i think like i've seen three or four seasons and it's one of those ones that i i just always i always dug it but it felt like one i wanted to watch in a fairly concise period of time and i just always it's a it's a lot to watch one show um in that amount of time and we have seasons one and two of person of interest great little show from jonathan nolan christopher nolan's brother it is a cbs procedural but it has a great nolan-esque kind of big idea about what if there's a computer that can kind of predict crimes and then you've got um jim caviezel in the lead on it just a real great little role for him so i i really dug this show if you like action tv shows with a nolini touch to it person of interest and that brings us to our final collection our final blu-ray in here the final season of smallville so i own a bunch i think all the other seasons of smallville on dvd because they predate when blu-ray technology was existed but by the time we got to the final season it was blu-ray so it was one of the first blu-rays i i sense i've ever bought was the final season of smallville to have all of the seasons of smallville so that's the one that i have and um small was one of those shows that started strong a lot of people liked it and it kind of lost it a little bit for a couple seasons there and so some people just abandoned it but i thought it really picked up for the last two seasons when it's it really transitioned to metropolis it was like proto superman and it abandoned the high school crap melodrama and some plot lines were just stretched too thin and they did something different by the time you got to the final little bit and so i really dug how it ended i wish i wish we'd gotten more actual superman in the finale that was like supposed to be the big payoff and you like kind of got superman i also always wished that they had taken a year off after the show was done and come back a year later and done a movie called metropolis and done a smallville superman movie tom welling as superman and we never really got that that's disappointing to me that that i would have loved to have seen that but that brings us to the end of our movies if you made it this far comment down below secret word final one watermelon row number one red apple row number two tangerine but if you are someone that completed the entire thing made it all the way to the end comment join that special club the watermelon club thank you so much for watching now we got to add this up i got to do a little bit of math i'll be right back to give you that final number all right i just did a little bit of math and it told me that row 3 had 186 blu-rays one final time as a reminder on this one i am not counting the number of discs the number of movies one item one set is one 186 on row 3 which meant for a total of 674 blu-rays in my collection if you were lost i actually have purchased a few more since i did this but they're not on the shelves quite right so it's actually more like 680 or 690 if all my movies which none of them were missing or anything like that but there you have it my magnum opus for the year 2021 the this is the longest shoot i have ever done and now all my blue rays are over there plus these ones right here and i have to put them back on the shelves so thank you so much for watching tuning in for this entire extravaganza and keep talking movies too much
