These were really long one sentences Jack 🤣🤣

WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THE ELVIS MOVIE REVIEW LMAOOO

Jack Edwards to movies is Emma Chamberlain to reading. It feels like it came out of nowhere but give them time because we might get some refreshing takes.

One day I’ll watch Casablanca, but today is not that day…and neither is tomorrow.

Love that “one sentence” means one paragraph to you !! ❤ one sentence wouldn’t be enough

NOT THE NETFLIX AND CHILL JACK WHAT💀🤚🏾

Jack: "I do love the craft of storytelling." Also Jack: "I'm never going to watch CASABLANCA."

I love how almost all of these have more than one sentence

Casablanca is not the overrated boring old movie that a lot of people seem to assume it is 😭 sometimes the thing that everyone says is a masterpiece is actually a masterpiece and this is one of those times!!!

Remember when you told us the reviews would be one sentence each?

it must be so difficult carrying the weight of being correct every single time but u pull it off so effortlessly

One day boredom will win, you will watch casablanca and the next day I will receive a notification for a 30 minutes long video called "so guys, I watched casablanca and I'm so sorry", I am absolutely sure of this

obsessed with the fact that like none of these are one sentence

Jack in the Movies??!!!?? There were fireworks, and I felt them at my core. So as a film student I think this is my time to shine. Here's some of my recs in one sentence! - Big Fish (Tim Burton, 2003): the perfect movie with its cinematography, editing, plot and storytelling which are so engaging and touching. - Persepolis (Marjane Satrapi, 2007): an animated film that is visually stunning and emotionally resonant. - Life Itself (Dan Fogelman, 2018): the script is simple, the movie is beautiful and poignant. - The Father (Florian Zeller, 2020): the story is brilliant and presented so delicately and delibaretly the film becomes alive and stays with you for a long time. - 12 Angry Men (Sidney Lumet, 1957): a masterpiece that made me realize you can create miracles in a single room, to make a film or to challenge people’s prejudice. - Green Book (Peter Farelly, 2018): a heartwarming and brutal story placed in a roadtrip plot with excuisite acting and editing.

The hold Casablanca has on people is so strong that people completely ignored Jack saying he didn't see Elvis because it was a Netflix and chill situation and commented on how he MUST see Casablanca 😂

LOL YOUR ELVIS REVIEW 😂

you should talk about movies more often!

I am so glad you made this video! I love how you describe and discuss things so to hear you talk about movies is a delight.

4:20 was perfect opportunity to say it made you “wail”

omg jack reviewing movies is something i didnt know i needed in my life!

Would honestly kill for more movie-related videos from you 🙏

I have a perfect movie recommendation if you want to literally cry for days. The movie's called "Close." It's a French/Dutch movie but it has subtitles. It's about friendship but takes some turns and I just could not stop crying. I cried the entire night I watched it.

Normally I am a “Live and let live, like what you like, you don’t need to see anything you don’t want to see” type of gal. But you should watch Casablanca. I only saw it for the first time about three years ago, long post-film degree. On a grey afternoon, get cosy and whack it on. It’s breathtaking.

i'm just gonna say this... this is the first video of you i've ever seen and i literally started loving you after like 10 seconds like idk how you did that but you somehow convinced me that you're the nicest person to ever live after like one sentence that's crazy

Casablanca is better than any movie on this list it's utterly fantastic and honestly Jack would probably enjoy it

Love the way you review your films. Short and sweet. Great, look forward to your 2024 film reviews.

Babe you didn't do a every book I read this year video last year, so please don't fail us this time! I love those videos 🥺

Me need more of these videos from you Jack.. sublime!

I love your reviews!

Jack! Please, please, please, watch movies by Alfred Hitchcock! Vertigo (1958), Psycho (1960), North by Northwest (1959) - ALL incredible movies! I’d also recommend David Lynch’s Elephant Man (1980), Mulholland Drive (2001) & Blue Velvet (1986). Go into these movies completely blind, it’s the only right way, I promise!

The Swedish movie adaptation of A Man Called Ove from 2015 is really really great! Haven't seen the American one yet, but I truly love the Swedish movie.

love the movie takes from u! would love to see more in the future

you should do another story graph update for 2023! just got into it again and rewatched your 2021 video

The fairy lights on the bookselves look so cute😍

The fact that you had not ever watched “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” before is astounding, as is the fact that you had never watched “Good Will Hunting.” Happily, you had the correct opinions of both of them. 🙂

‘casablanca’ was one of those movies i put off for YEARS, thinking “one day i’ll watch, i have to” because it’s just one of those classics that keeps haunting you wherever you go, i would literally be reminded of it at least 5 times a year every single year. this year, they projected it during one of my classes (mandatory presence) and you know what? for a black & white film, it aged like the finest of wines. i’m not a big fan of b&w, i don’t know why that is, but ‘casablanca’ is so incredibly well made that i didn’t feel bored for a second 🫢

Watching more movies was a big goal of mine for 2023 and I utterly failed! But this has motivated me to try again next year and I appreciate having a few ideas to add to my list!

You should do a video comparing books to their movies and rate them

It's bizarre to me to hear someone talk this way about Casablanca, because it seems to come from an assumption that it's some sort of dry intellectual movie, and that that's the reason critics love it. It's actually just a really good middle-of-the-road adventure melodrama movie that is totally accessible to anyone, but one which also just happens to be the most perfect movie of this kind ever made.

You got me interested in a few of these, thanks.

Oh my god! I loved that kafka citation for the girl with the pearl earring!! Loved the way you made it the complete antithesis of it's original meaning 😂😂

the good will hunting review is so real. ive seen it so many times and it will forever be my fav movie of all time

Casablanca has the best smoking acting tied in first place with The Maltese Falcon.

ready player one is one of the best books i’ve ever read and that adaptation did it SO dirty.

Triangle of Sadness and Black Swan 🖤 I finally just watched Saltburn and loved it!! I'm adding Emily, Good Will Hunting, Glass Onion and King Richard to my list. Thank you Jack!

there was already a film of 'a man called ove'. It's really good and a more faithful adaptation of the book

We need a part 2 to this

this is huge

I don't know if you've seen the Dead Poets Society(it goes perfectly with Good Will Hunting for me) yet but i'm sure you'd love it

i was just like you with Casablanca... just like you.. but it is very heartwarminggg! don't let the hype overwhelm you!!

Thanks for the recs because i dont like watching movies tbh but these look and sound stimulating

Old movies can be super fun, engaging, and above all have great scripts! I used to be scared of them - some are black and white even! 😂 - but it turns out they have fantastic characters and narrative and depth, which our CG world often (not always!!) sacrifices.

Super Mario was a smile I needed for a dreadful year personally.

I thought the exact same thing about "everything everywhere all at once" but you formulated it better :D

I think it's ironic that the channel name is "Jack in the books." And everyone knows the relationship of books and movies.

wish I had seen this video earlier, would have got some good recommendations to watch over the weekend!

If you enjoyed The Menu, you might like Hunger about a Thai street food cook who gets a chance to work with a celebrity chef at his restaurant. There is a chef-off later in the movie that is spectacular. And if you enjoy food-related movies in general and not just ones where snobby, entitled people get their, ahem, just desserts, Big Night with Stanley Tucci and Tony Shaloub is one of the best.

Jack, I’m begging you on my hands and knees to watch Shape of Water and Promising Young Woman (Emerald Fennel’s directorial debut), and review them

Thanks for reminding me that I still haven’t watched Glass Onion. Maybe this is the final push I need. PS the shy delivery of that Elvis review absbsbbsns I’m not okay

Your description of EEAAO was accurate

Happy holidays jack take some well deserved time off 🎉😂

We need more‼️‼️

THE MOST REPLAYED BIT OF THE VIDEO IS SOOO FUNNY😭😭😭

I've watched good will hunting this year too and it's just soooo good!! So nice that you liked it too❤️

I was hooked into this video by the idea of “one sentence” but your sentence is really long monologue

Weirdly, "Get Out" is the only movie of Jordan Peele's I haven't seen, but I'm so darn hesitant because I didn't like the others. I've heard "Get Out" is his best one, so maybe I'll still check it out. It's just hard for me to see the hype around the other two. I still love hearing what Jack's thoughts and feelings are on movies though. (And I agree that "Everything Everywhere All At Once" is a masterpiece. Such a wild ride, and fucked up in the best way possible.)

jack im gonna need u to talk more about movies because u speak at such a good pace for my adhd brain

Past Lives also smashed my heart into a thousand weeping pieces 💔 sooooo good

saltburn is literally my life rn, like everything in my life revolves around saltburn and barry keoghan

Ok ok ok. Casablanca is FANTASTIC! I first watched it in high school and I loved it and have watched it multiple times since (I'm 34).

Okay but, Casablanca slaps.

Amazing movies Jack ❤

Including Elvis after all is a vibe, hahahahaaa! Here for it.

Oh woah, Jack Edwards movietuber era, lets GO

The fact that you watched the goldfinch film before reading the book has just killed something inside me because it’s my favourite book ever but omg the film is a snoozefest

9:28 the way i burst out laughing during this part no wonder it's the most replayed part 😭😭😭 also yay i've found my 2024 watch list!

Wanting a charcuterie board of red white and royal blue is so real. Such a dumb yet fun and low-key emotional movie

yay we're back to jack randomly reminding us he went to durham

the of an age slander is crazyyyy

I love that you enjoyed the menu because that is actually an S tier movie and more people need to jump on that train right now

Jack... Really you should watch Casablanca, its really good.

No why was the outro so wholesomee

That’s way more than one sentence. I came for the one sentences.

"I want a charcuterie board of this" perfect comment omg

you can still watch Anatomy of a Fall such a masterpiece

Girl with the pearl earring is one of my favourite quiet, contemplative films! Also beautifully shot. Go on, give it another go!

He did the reverse of what I aim to do next year lol

I would love for you to read Tove Janssons books. Her writing is stunning

Omg. I watched Black Swan in the theater 5 times, and wrote a paper on the use of color in this movie. Soooo fricking good. Also, Past Lives took my breath away.

The bullet train take hurt me to my core. I loved that movie

Since you liked Black swan, watch the japanese film Perfect Blue, Aronofsky might not want to acknowledge all the "influences" he got from Satoshi Kon but he got them, the film is dark and brilliant and sad. Hope you like it

What an adorable person omg 😂❤

If Jack Edwards ever watches Casablanca...we'll need to check in on him. Apparently that'll have been his lowest moment

I don’t consider myself a film buff but when you talked about Casablanca… man just watch it ok 😂😂

omg you have to see Poor Things!!

i'm really surprised at what you said about saltburn! i thought the writing was the worst thing about it

AFTERSUN is an exquisite emotionally charged 💎 of a film. Highly recommended!!! 🧡🧡🧡

There are so many golden age films that don’t get mentioned as much as other classics, but anything with Dorris Day or Audrey Hepburn usually hits the mark.

I am like that about Gone With The Wind...60 years of avoidance.
