I love this. This should be a recurring series.

You should really be doing more of these tier lists / reviews. The way you talked about each film here felt very organic and for someone like me who's just started getting into world cinema, this felt very informative and enjoyable.

Please do every criterion. That would be awesome.

Great video. I love Walkabout and also disike Godard, especially Weekend. Please keep going through the spine numbers!

I hardly agree with the ratings (my taste is too popular), but tht was a wonderful idea and video. Totally worth it.

I liked this. I don’t know about criterion specifically but I enjoy the ranking of movies and discussing them

Would love to see this as an ongoing series. + as an identical twin, I totally agree. I don't get why it's so hard for writer just to write twins as separate people & not just a plot devive/ joke characters

Please do more.

This may sound nuts... but what if you did a tier list for all the John Ford movies you watched?

"A Night to Remember" - dry, "Beauty and the Beast" - wear a suit, operatic. Some of most woeful reviews I've seen in ages.

Where's part 2? 😢

As a twin, I think that you missed the mark on Dead Ringers. You seem to have focused too much on thinking that the horror of Dead Ringers comes from the fact that the twins in the film are connected, but I don't think that that's ever presented in a horrific way. For me the main turning point of the film is when Bev falls in love with Claire and begins to detach himself from Elliot, causing Elliot to truly face how insecure he is. I see it more as nihilistic and less of a horror film.

My boyfriend has the 12 angry men criterion collection and it’s super cool. Great video!

"potty humour"....... "I know fascism bad" this reviewer completely ignores historical contexts, or deliberately reduces his readings of films to fit some simplistic explanations for very compelling works of art that challenge the viewer, that challenge and resist interpretation. Reducing Pasolini to "an abuser who was murdered" and then implying that he deserved this fate? This man should probably do something else like sports commentary. Rubbish

I was with you until you said Robocop is Meh. I don't think I can trust you anymore.

For me it’s harder to access 7 Samurai especially when I first started. My family has a troubled and difficult history with Japan especially their military because we lost so many family members to Japanese military war atrocities. Japanese military to me never meant things like honor and sacrifice but bloodshed, seppuku, a practice I can never understand, and Japanese war atrocities through all of ww2, aggression against my country for hundreds of years. A katana is an equivalent to the Nanking massacre for me . I also personally don’t agree with Mifune’s acting being good. I found him very overacty but especially the way Japanese acting is in Kurosawa’s fifties films. It feels super one act to me particularly when they shout. The way they bark and behave makes me think of how Japanese soldiers would’ve been in china. Shouting and jeering and looking at Chinese women before they rape them. But that may be my bias too. I understand why a lot of people love it ofc and I acknowledge its impact on films like Star Wars. I’ve seen a lot of Japanese films in the last year or so including 90 percent of Kurosawa and Ozu’s work. I love Ozu and Kore-Eda. I like kuroneko. But I have a difficult vibe seeing samurai and the Japanese in war in general. Even though Ran and Kagemusha are my favorite Kurosawa films, even then the way Kurosawa depicts blood gives me tremors of Japanese bloodiness. The way Lady Kaede’s blood spurts out. Did it really have to be done that way? Sure it’s style but it just conveys the fact that the Japanese are bloody to me. Certainly no less than white european war traditions throughout history. But I just have a difficult experience with Japanese in particular because it comes close to my history.
