Just when I thought Stuckmann couldn’t be a bigger movie nerd 😂

Chris, you gotta keep that Morbius ticket in mint condition, it'll go for one morbillion dollars in ten years when the trilogy is completed

I had one collection that spanned 5 years and lost it all in a move, devastating. This video just jumpstarted my grief. Thanks Chris

It’s so weird seeing Chris talk about these movies and how I remember him reviewing them when they came out. Being in late elementary school when I watched his Wrath of the Titans review and now watching this as a grad student, Chris has left an immense impact on me in regards to film appreciation and studying the art. Without him and his journey through these movies with me, I really don’t think I’d be the person I am today. I’ll be forever grateful for his impact, and I know I’m not the only one who feels this way.

I immediately regret not keeping my movie tickets after seeing this video. Such a good idea to put in a memory book. Especially for us who love film.

SO happy to know I'm not the only movie-loving nerd who keeps their tickets, because every film trip is an experience, regardless of good or bad. 🖤🎥✨

My girlfriend surprised me when she showed me a memorabilia box that contained a movie ticket for Mirai. It was one of our first movie dates as a couple and I was legitimately touched. You are absolutely correct about them being time capsules!

you showing your Dark Knight tickets with the date and everything made me come to the realization that I somehow convinced my mom to take me to that movie when I was 8 lol

Damn seeing how much a movie ticket was then compared to now is mind blowing

One of my favorite moments in any Chris video is burning the Nine Lives ticket. I haven't even seen the movie and I felt glad you did that.

Dude thanks for the best idea ever! I just decided to look through my house and I found over 150 movie tickets going back to 2003. So glad I kept all of these.👍😁

I remember stumbling across your channel in like 2011 or 2012 after searching for reviews of Skyfall, and immediately watching everything you ever made. Chris you’ve been with me on a weekly basis for about a decade now and I can 100% you have made my life better. Any time I’ve had tragedies in my life like a pet dying, family getting divorced, dealing with severe medical diagnosis, or getting laid off I’ve always gone to this channel to cope. Thank you for all that you do. You truly have no idea how much I value your work

I love the transition from "The dark knight's a pretty good movie in case you didn't know" to "oh paul blart mall cop... glad I saved that one"

After watching this, I regret ever throwing away all movie tickets in the trash :(

I can’t stop thinking about the prices on those ticket stubs lol. Take me back to those times already

Oh my gosh, all the nostalgia! I started collecting movie tickets when I was around 13 as well, but then they got ruined when I was 19 and after that I stopped collecting. Impressive you held on to those for over 20 years!

This is awesome man! Need to start collecting 🎟️ again I only carry 5 tickets, 1:X-Men Origins Wolverine 2:Avatar (2009) 3:The Dark Knight 4:Prince of persia 5:Terminator Salvation Seeing tickets from the early 2000s is nostalgic even if I was born in 98' still wished I was able to experience most of the movies you mentioned from the early 2000s!

This was so cool! It was definitely a way different experience back in the day. I have very fond memories of going to the movies with my family that I will forever cherish. Unfortunately, we were pretty broke at the time and could only afford to go to a "$1 theater" which only played movies that were just released on VHS, but it was still such a treat for us and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Those were the days that you could sneak into a theater or sneak your friends in through the side door and get away with it! Lol! Ahhh, good times. Thank you for sharing.

Honestly, this is one of my favorite videos that you've done in a while.

I have all my tickets since 2006. So lovely to look back at all the memories.

Amazing video idea Chris. I normally don’t collect all movie tickets but I remember some great experiences seeing The Dark Knight, UP, Avatar, Avengers, Inside Out, Rogue One, LEGO Movie, IT, Infinity War, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Joker, Lighthouse, Jojo Rabbit, No Way Home, and Everything Everywhere all at Once.

So jealous of some of the films you got to see in theatres, Chris. I too collect movie tickets and it’s cool to sometimes flip through the memories.

Pre-pandemic, my girlfriend and I would always take photos in the photo booth after a movie and we would both save the strips and write what movie we saw together on the back of the strip. I have only maybe 8-10 and since the photo booth opened back up again, I would love to start collecting them again.

I started collecting tickets in 1980... they were just little stubs and didn't have the movie printed on them. I was 13 in 1981 and went to see "Raiders of the Lost Ark." That's when my obsession with movies started... and I moved to CA and went to film school as soon as I graduated. Kept collecting those stubs until about '92 and lost track of them in one of my many moves. I can remember seeing each of the Indiana Jones films for the first time... I worked in several movie theaters in high school, college, and beyond, so I often would see movies 5+ times... I can recall the feelings and atmosphere of many of those outings. Thanks for bringing us on the walk down memory lane!

I remember being in 5th grade and seeing movie stubs on a friend's dresser and thought, "Wow what a great idea to collect those!" So I did! I have such a huge collection now, my oldest being Dr. Dolittle from 1998 I believe. It was fun watching you relive your theater experiences and seeing someone else as excited to collect stubs as I am!!

I’m happy, this man is finally making a movie. It’s super unreal. Congrats, Chris! 😃

Dredd in 3D was one of the greatest movie experience ever. Brilliant movie.

Your collection starts a couple months after I was born. This was actually really beautiful for me to watch. Thanks Chris!

I didn’t know the director of An American Tail: Fievel Goes West, We’re Back! A Dinosaur’s Story, Balto, and The Prince of Egypt is the great-grandson of the author of War of the Worlds, The Invisible Man, and The Time Machine 😳

19:55 for me I wish I'd seen Master and Commander in the threatre, the sound design even through the cheapest headphones I owned while watching it on a car Journey, is still one of the most immersive soundscapes I've ever witnessed in a movie. I can't imagine what it must have been like in the cinema.

OMG....I'll be damned....I truly thought I was the ONLY person who saves his movie tickets !!!!! I started only back in the early 2000's but when I look back on them...the memories of each movie experience is as clear as yesterday! Wish I had thought of it years before...can only imagine all the schlock I've seen over the years along with the mega blockbusters!

I have been watching you for 6 years now and this ready one of my favorite videos of yours, really captures that feeling of looking back and reminiscing looking through old ticket stubs.

Always wanted to do something like this but always thought there's no point because I never started before. Changed that mentality back in September when I saw No Time To Die, and I've been collecting all my tickets since then. Hope I can look back in a few years time and see an amazing collection that I have

This is amazing Chris! It's great to see other lovers of cinema collect tickets over the years. I kept a collection of tickets ever since I was young. Unfortunately, the first half of my collection got washed in the washer when I left my wallet in a pair of jeans. I had Phantom Menace, Jurassic Park III, The Mummy Returns, Star Trek Nemesis, The Matrix Reloaded, and more. Tickets like the memory of sitting in a theater auditorium is something that can't be replicated with watching a film on digital at home.

Dude, totally bringing back memories with this. I was a newlywed at the time you start off with here. My wife and I pretty much went to the movies every weekend back then and we saw most of these. Great times.

This brought back a lot of memories for me from when I used to save movie tickets (before my local theater stopped printing them). I was inspired by my aunt who influenced my love of movies. She has a few of the tickets you showed here saved under a glass cover on her desk. This video was a lot of fun!

I thought I was the only weird one that for years collected movie tickets, I still have some but most of them are all blurry due to how old they are😅 but yeah I hate that theaters don't give out tickets anymore as often, at my local theater they give it to out but you gotta hand it back once entering, so it makes no sense to me.

Such a sweet video to see in my notifications in the morning. Thanks for all the years of wonderful movie talk Chris 😊

Great collection Chris! It’s great to see others that have collected movie tickets for 20+ years! The first ticket I held onto that began my hobby of collecting them was for Starship Troopers in ‘97… I was 10 years old lol

This is really special Chris, thank you for sharing. I had all mine taped to a board for years and have since lost them :/ These are cherished memories, glad you have them to look back on.

9:19 Saying “Cuba Gooding Jr is not in this one” then proceeding to laugh killed me 💀💀💀

your love for cinema is contagious Chris! keep it up!

I love hearing you just talk about your history for your love of movies and seeing how far you've come it's so inspiring

Really cool to see that other people do this, too! I keep mine in a huge Geauga Lake (long-gone Northeast Ohio amusement park) beer stein that my brother gave me. It resides in a kitchen cupboard and I make it a practice to toss my stubs in as soon as I get home from the theater. The first one I have is either from Batman '89 or Batman Returns.

Your consistency and quality of content never disappoints! ❤

I’m so happy you shared this. When I was a kid I had a diary and I used it for movie reviews. The two I can remember at the top of my head were Happy Feet and X-Men the Last Stand. I have saved movie and concert tickets for the longest time and I’m happy I’m not the only one. Watching you evolve into someone like me just loving movies into actually working on movies is inspirational. Don’t stop Chris!

This is absolutely amazing. The stories to tell with your tickets make them hold even more sentimental value. Thank you for sharing Chris! I hope you get to place your own movie ticket in the book once it releases!

Love the fact that you took the time to make a really cool, kind of personal but fun video while in the middle of making your film. Really happy to see it man.

It’s really cool to see a lot of the theaters I’ve frequented (Kent Plaza, Chapel Hill, Independence, etc.) on the tickets here! And a lot of them on my tickets. Cool stuff man!

Love this kind of quick run through of films so much Chris! Please do more!

My Dad and I went to the movies every Saturday morning for decades. When he passed I found all of our ticket stubs. They are proudly displayed on the wall in my movie room now.

Also I love hearing movie lovers talk about going a movie by themselves. I've had people think I'm so weird for seeing a movie on my own lol

Wow, The Time Machine?! I feel like nobody remembers that one. I remember seeing a trailer for it when I saw - I think - Cats & Dogs that summer. Funnily enough, that same year I took a sci-fi elective class at my junior high where our teacher one day showed us the original Time Machine and said, "They're coming out with a new version of it," but those are all I've heard of the movie. Also I'm so glad you've done this video! I don't see movies in the theater all that often (even pre-pandemic I didn't really) so I've never thought to keep my ticket stubs, although I think I still have the one for when I saw X-Men Origins: Wolverine during a college study abroad in Ireland.

Thanks for always, bringing me interest in films. It was all just hobby of mine since I was kid but then when i saw your videos and making me think that there is more in seeing movies. that there's characters, the scores, everything a film is, and love and passion in making them.

One of my favorite things about having a movie ticket collection is just seeing how far back they go, like when you come across one that was from like 5 or 6 years ago and it just gives you that warm, fuzzy nostalgic feeling because it’s like “Wow, I can’t believe I saw *that* movie in the theater” Unfortunately I can no longer collect movie tickets because the theater I used to go to that handed out those tickets closed and the theater I go to now doesn’t do that sort of thing but it’s still fun looking back on the ones I did collect

Haha yes, I'm not alone! Turned 23 this year, so Ang Lee's Hulk was actually one of my earliest theater experiences I can remember!

I do everything digital when it comes to the theater experience now. It's just so convenient to get in and out. I buy online, walk straight up to get scanned, and grab my food. I do miss the momento of having a ticket stub though. I remember being a kid and having to make sure I had the ticket stub with me if I had to get up to use the restroom so I could be sure I could get back in -- even though nobody ever checked. I still have a ton left from when I was a kid. Jurassic Park is a big one for me. One of my all-time favorite movies and I remember every second of that entire experience with my mom and sister. Tickets are definitely a great way to keep a memory fresh and I regret not having more stubs saved.

This was a great video. I really enjoy these types of videos, and its one of the reasons youre one of, if not my favorite, film critic on youtube.

I also love looking back at my old tickets and trying to remember which theater it was, what moment of my life it was, sometimes rediscovering movies I forgot I had even watched... anyhoo, loved watching you do the same and remember my own movie-going experience at the same time. Cheers

Top gun?

I used to do this when I was young but... I just couldn't afford cinema a lot, so I kind of let it fall by the wayside. It really brings back that feeling though, awesome video Chris. :)

I’ve been collecting movie ticket stubs since I was a kid, going back to maybe 2006/2007. A few years ago, my friend made me a shadow box to display them in and add more. It’s easily one of the best things she’s given me. It’s cool to see so many other people that collect their stubs.

8:08 so true! He is easily one of the most underrated directors. Doug Liman is another

I always thought I was the only one who did this! My earliest (and the moment I decided to keep these damn things) is from when I was a kid in November of 1988, "Oliver & Company," and my thousands of tickets now go up until the Top Gun Maverick pre-buys I have for Friday. I still print the digital stubs, too, so I can add them in. Nicely done, Chris! 🎬 🎞 🎥 EDIT (to make you 🤢) - I saw Phantom Menace in 1999, starting at midnight on opening day, THIRTEEN regrettable times in the theater, plus a 14th if you count that 3D re-release in 2012! Why did I do this to myself? I think it's because I got my license the week before the movie came out and, as I was the kid with the car, I became the defacto OG-Uber for the summer that was all about new Star Wars. Yes, it's a bad movie...but WOW did I immerse myself in it. Save your tix, folks, it's like a living time capsule.

The Phantom Menace and Revenge Of The Sith came out today 23 and 17 years ago. The Phantom Menace is not great, But Revenge Of The Sith is very good and is one of the best Star Wars movies.

I love special videos like these. My heart stopped for a second when I saw the Knockin on Heaven's Door ticket. The earliest one's I have saved might be from 2012 but I didn't start doing it consistently until around 2014/15.

Luv these flashbacks and what a priceless collection and memories! GO 2 million Subs!!

This made me feel equal parts happy and sad. Loved seeing (and reading the comments on this video from) a fellow movie lover who also collected their movie tickets. Felt very sad as all of my movie tickets were kept in my wallet as a kid and after years of collecting them when I was in high school so dickhead took my wallet and purposely destroyed my tickets (I had no money to steal). Broke my little nerd heart. My local theatre stopped giving out proper ticket stubs not long after (just flimsy paper receipts) so I stopped collecting.

My very first ticket I have is for The Amazing Spider-Man. Dang. Time flies. I kinda stopped collecting tickets but restarted with Sonic the Hedgehog 2.

I absolutely loved this video! Great content Chris! I connected with some of your stories, especially the ones where your friends didn’t understand your excitement for films! Just looking back 04- 08 had some awesome films!

I loved this!! You're so close to 2M Chris, congratulations!!!

Almost at the 2 million mark, Chris! So happy with all you're doing, man.

Glad you collect your tickets as well, I try to show everyone my updated collection every year or so, every movie in theaters is an experience

Damn this was really heartwarming. I just reminisced with you and felt all of this nostalgia. I love you man!

It's amazing knowing that I'm not the only one who likes collecting tickets, and legit tho , i'm so so glad i'm not the only movie-loving nerd who keeps their tickets from like the 2000s, 2010s, and now

The 2 nearest movie theaters to me started doing like receipt-type tickets instead of the usual ones and I was genuinely sad. Definitely not as cool as the normal ones that's for sure. So I haven't been collecting them recently, but I do have a pretty large collection as well!

Finally someone else who collects movie stubs!! Haven’t seen this until now. Started mine in 2008 right at beginning of high school. Love, love, LOVE to see the community around this!!

What an insanely creative idea for a collection & video, Chris. Thanks for sharing with us

AWESOME that you have a memento of Shyamalan’s “Signs” as it is a major inspiration which lead to you making your own film: “SHELBY OAKS”! Great trip through memory lane, and it’s influence on your craft.

Where's your "the Northman" review?

Love to see continuous examples of your passion for film, Chris!

I was more excited than I expected to watch this video...so many random memories tied to movie tickets.

Hey Chris! First off, that video was extremely wholesome thank you for that. Also, could I ask how you save the tickets? Like is that just a photo album or...? because I have a collection I started a year ago and they are stacked up in an old DVD case but they have started to fade already due to them being sensor-printed on paper. Anyway, any tips would be greatly appreciated. 😊

Did you see Top Gun?!?

I’m glad I’m not the only one collecting movie tickets . Very cool.

Watched/followed Chris for years and enjoy his content but seeing he’s a Moonie just made me like him even more!😄I’ll be lookin for his Sailor Moon Cosmos review 🌙✨💗💙❤️💚🧡

I was waiting for this! 10:34 For anybody who is always praising the first movie to be the best. I have been studying 1-3 and I constantly re-watch them. Pirates of the Caribbean does not go downhill in writing after the first movie. That is your business to believe that opinion everyone else goes with. Dead man’s chest gave the characters more depth! Elizabeth and William barely have anything to work with in the first movie. William’s relationship with his father that was hinted in the first movie of his father‘s existence. Paid off wonderfully. William’s character had way more in depth now and you have something to truly care about him for. You get both perspectives when you understand their Reunion! Bootstrap didn’t want Will to become a pirate like him, he wanted him to have a free life from the pirate life. William had a hard time accepting he was half Pirate but when he accepted his life and his father… He has a new journey to stab the heart of Davy Jones to set his father free. And you’re implying William is better in the first movie just because he wanted to save the girl he loved? William in the second movie now has Elizabeth as a lover. And now a new journey to rescue his father someone else he cares about. And this became a difficult situation when bootstrap told Elizabeth at world‘s end. William has to make a decision. Either don’t kill Davy Jones so he can be with you. Or he does kill Davy Jones and set me free, but he won’t be able to be on land for 10 years. If I were him I wouldn’t pick me! :/ The emotional weight on William’s character gets better and better. Elizabeth in the first movie was just a damsel in distress girl. She wasn’t useless in the first movie but you get the point. In the second movie, Elizabeth learned to wield a sword and she used it in the battle. She pulled a gun to Beckett‘s head.. went on her own journey to save will. She has grown a lot since the first movie who was just an innocent girl! Elizabeth got better as a character in 2 and 3! As for Jack sparrow. He does not become a joke at all in all 3 movies. Jack sparrow is at his best in the second movie and in the third movie. There was a moment in dead men’s chest… Where Jack didn’t know what he truly wanted so the compass couldn’t locate what he desired. So when Elizabeth went on her journey and then found Jack.. Jack used her for his advantage! He took advantage of Elizabeth’s feelings by telling her if you want to save Will you have to want to find the chest of Davy Jones! In order to get will back.. That’s why Jack gave her the compass. Jack knew if he couldn’t figure what he wanted out he was going to get it out of Elizabeth. Since Elizabeth now wants to find the chest of Davy Jones to save will. This gives Jack the huge opportunity to find the chest to stab the heart in it. But instead he wants to control DavyJones before killing him. Jack sparrow is not stupid! When will was trying to stab the heart towards the end of the second movie. Jack knows just because Davy Jones is dead, does not mean the Kraken will be stopped as well. And you’re telling me Jack is dumb after part 1?? As for Beckett. He was a well executed villain who uses dialogue and negotiation to control people. The Reason why Beckett didn’t fire his cannons at worlds end. Was because it would be totally out of his character to use weapons. Beckett uses certain words to get through people and how to control them behind the scenes. Beckett at the end of the movie had nothing left to negotiate with. Davy Jones was dead, Jack sparrow is alive and well. Will Turner is now the new captain of the Flying Dutchman. Beckett had literally nothing to use against on people. He was caught in shocked and he decided to die.. Anyways I could defend the Gore Verbinski’s Trilogy all night. His trilogy is an underrated trilogy. It had great character writing and amazing detail of its depth. Also Will vs Davy Jones!!! 😈😈😈 when Will challenging Davy Jones. Davy Jones asks him how do you know about the key? Will replies and says, that's NOT part of the game is it? 😏 You can STILL walk away!! 😏 As for pirates 4/5 they are not even Canon they are filler movies. The story ended at worlds end! ☠️

You actually got me to start keeping my own collection. It’s been growing since 2017.

just wanted to saying I’m loving this new era of your channel man.

Huge fan. Just watched this movie on Amazon called Emergency. Would really like to know what you think about it. Can you do a review?

AvP is like a nostalgic “guilty pleasure” of mine even though I don’t feel an ounce of guilt for liking it. But when I tell people I like it I get weird looks, idk why.

Awesome video! I've been collecting all my movie tickets starting with Escape from LA in 1996. I've lost count of how many I have now, and I don't go to the movies nearly as much as I used to in previous decades, but it's nice to know there are other ticket collectors out there.

Loved seeing this. I have been collecting my movie tickets myself for 10 years, dating back as far as The Avengers. I have collected tickets for films both good and bad, and even if I don’t like a film, nothing beats slipping it into my folder.

Will you review Top Gun Maverick?

Where’s top gun review

I'm so glad you made this video! Very touching

Loved this video Chris!! I too keep my stubs, except mine are all in boxes and ziplock bags lol… I need to put them in a binder like you got. Also, loved the 500 Days of Summer shout out, that’s one of my all time favorite films! I’ve seen it an obscene amount of times. Take care and best of luck on your film Shelby Oaks!

I've always loved Bruce Almighty and I never thought about how much of a riot Jim Carry comedies must have been for theater-goers back then. I'd go back in time just to see an early screening of The Mask, Bruce Almighty, or Liar Liar with a group of people just to see their reactions.

I though all your friends were “social justice warriors” 😂 took me a minute to put two and two together. I’m an ex Mormon. I totally get the pain you went through and the trauma I’m sure you deal with still by choosing to leave and live your true life. Most people will never understand just how difficult it is to escape the grips of an intense religion like JW or LDS. You posting your story for the world to see is seriously heroic. Keep it up.

Love The Fountain. One of my favorite Aronofksy films. Glad to hear that you appreciate it as well.
