    The Matrix for me was groundbreaking story-wise. Saw it as a senior in H.S. at the theaters. But hasn’t aged well in all areas. Pretty much agree with your entire list…except for the Big Lebowski. I put certain movies into my “sleepy movie” category. These are movies that I’ve seen a million times, have likable characters, the themes never get too crazy, and has a sound mix that is very easy on the ears. Basically movies that I can put on and fall asleep to. I put The Shining in the same category. Even though it’s a classic horror with some genuinely terrifying scenes, something about the sound mix and the setting of the Overlook puts me at ease. Maybe I’m some kind of psychopath.
    Anyways, great video as always!

    I agree with you on Citizen Kane. I have the utmost respect for the acting, cinematography, and the amazing feat accomplished by then-24 year old Orson Welles in making this film. I am a HUGE old movie buff, so people who know me automatically assume I LOVE CK. They are shocked to find out I don’t. Out of Welles oeuvre, I much prefer The Magnificent Ambersons (even though that was butchered during editing).

    The one movie that I never understood was Risky Business. People consider it Tom Cruise’s breakout movie but I consider Top Gun (which came out a couple years later) to be his breakout movie. And the plot of the movie is also really weird.

      Losba I'm sure it's just as prevalent, but people are usually much less confrontational IRL because there's more consequences talking face to face vs being just another rando screaming on the internet. It takes too much time/effort for most to track down who the person actually is, so most people abuse the perceived sense of anonymity, not caring about their reputation

    I draw the line at the big Lebowski tho, I absolutely respect that it wasn't for you but the movie is infinitely rewatchable imo, so many great scenes and lines, it's an entire mood in itself, I really love it, maybe it's just for a certain kind of person

      I think The Grey is a good example of this. The trailers really made it out to be Liam Neeson kickin' some timber wolf ass. Whereas in the movie you never see any real wolf fight. I like it and own it but I never saw any hype trailers either.
      I look online and see reviews and opinions that it's horrible. But I know people don't go out of there way to praise movies online when they enjoy them versus how they will when they bash them.

      Luke Milbocker I was hyped with the teaser trailer, but then ignored every other trailer for that film and even avoided the Internet as a whole days before the premiere to have as little expectation as possible, but, in the end, I was utterly disappointed anyways cause they badly ripped off the original Star Wars movie and made dumb decisions along the way, sadly.

      I don't think anyone really cares about that movie anymore. Sure the visuals were amazing for its time, but that's the only thing it really had going for it. Everything else about it was incredibly dull and generic. It was little more than a long tech demo that showcased how far VFX have come.
      It lived and died by hype. Visuals aren't enough for a movie to be placed among the greatest movies *of all time*, when the technologies used to make them become obsolete so quickly

    • @agonleed3841
      @agonleed3841 Před 5 lety +18

      @@Darticus42 see...thatndoest really make sense. I mean..the reason it's considered the greatest of all times is for the reason that you stated..in it's time it was awesome.
      Of course people found things better as time went along...but those movies mostly have duplicates. Other movies that incorporates the same ideas within the same time.
      Matrix came with a plot and visuals that were great and no one else did it that way.
      Like...the ps1 is considered the greatest console of all time...even though ps2, 3 and Xbox 360 and one does what it did and better. That doesn't take away from the fact that in its time it was innovative, creative, unique. All that earned it it's title. And people..like me who honestly thought we could never get anything better than the quality that ps1 games got....i don't even play those games much anymore. I play them...but I can admit that we have better quality now. That I may play them in passing and from nostalgia...but...i .ca enjoy it for...the time it was created. A time when it was the greatest.
      There are boxers who could beat Ali today. And there are dancers who can outdance Michael Jackson and basketball players who can probably break down Jordan, but we still call those people the greatest. That's because in their time...they were. And they brought something then that no one saw before. A quality that was innovative, new, or unique. And everything afterwards seems to be built upon their ideas. And so...maybe if it weren't for them...we wouldn't have the quality of games, movies, fighters, players, etc...today.
      You need to understand what makes something the greatest of all time. It's found in the concept.
