With Bond, it’s best to start at the beginning with ‘Dr.No’ and go chronologically.
yes, indeed!
I think that is the best way to do it. Begin at the first movie & work through the timeline of theatrical release dates.
Agreed.
You get a good grasp on how the Bond movies developed and a few times there are a few things that connect the movies.
I would agree with this, but if there's too many, put up each bond actor on a poll and pick the top 2 or 3 until you get to Daniel Craig. Most of the movies don't have a single story arc that crosses movies, but all of Craig's do.
I think the "Must See" Bonds are:
Dr. No. The first movie and it explains so much of the world.
Goldfinger is the first Bond movie to employ the gadgets and one liner's the character becomes known for.
On Her Majesty's Secret Service is the fist one with a new Bond and has one of the only significant plot elements to move across multiple movies (apart from the main bad guy)
The Spy Who Loved me is probably the best of the Roger Moore era
Octopussy is better in my opinion, and has some great moments.
The Living Daylights is the first one with Timothy Dalton, and a great movie overall.
Goldeneye is the first one with Pierce Brosanan, and the only one of his I can match the name to the plot. I didn't really care for the rest of his run.
Daniel Craig should be seen in release order. Casino Royale is first, was the first novel, and it actually follows the novel really well.
@@BillTheScribe Absolutely not. Popcorn In Bed did this and she got lost. Her reactions to the later movies were terrible, just a series of "i don't get it" and missing references to the movies that she skipped.
It's like saying you're going to watch the MCU movies but only 2 each from Phase 1, Phase 2, and Phase 3, and then only 2 episodes from each of the live action streaming series.
Grandma in this is the actress who played Juno in Beetlejuice. The lady who helped them in the afterlife.
My favorite part of this movie is the aliens running around trolling people with the megaphone "Stop running away, we are your friends!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
"We come in peace" while shooting everybody.
It's great 😂
Mary, if you want to watch James Bond films, then I strongly recommend that you start with the oldest ones that star Sean Connery. Those films are the best for understanding the 1960’s genre of super spies, super villains and Secret Agents.
Agreed
Yeah. Plus Tom Jones does one of the early Bond theme songs!
Excellent starting point!
I'd say skip all the Connery once and just watch the pierce brosnan ones
Bond was the worst spy ever. Everybody knew who he was and what he was doing. The villains were the most incompetent. They never stayed to watch him die, giving him time to escape their clutches. Brosnan was one of the very few Bonds with real acting talent. Connery was a movie star, not an actor. Roger Moore was The Saint pretending to be Bond.
The absolute absurdity of this movie makes it so entertaining. Everyone does a great job acting, especially Jack Nicholson playing a couple different roles.
So much fun!
When Tim Burton told the studio he wanted to cast Jack Nicholson, he was told he could not kill Nicholson's character.
So he cast him in two roles, and killed both of the characters.
One of the original 50s sci-fi classics is Forbidden Planet staring a young Leslie Nielson.
And The Day the Earth Stood Still.
Indeed! There are references and homages to it in other scfi-fi, such as Babylon 5, (the “Great Machine” on Epsilon 3 is a direct reference.)
It was also one of , if not the, first movie that had a minidress/skirt in it. Very much ahead of its time, but scandelous at the time it was at theatres.
Both Forbidden Planet and The Day the Earth Stood Still are top tier movies - must watch!
Surely you can't be serious. 😂
The Martian-killer song "Indian Love Call" is a 1924 song from the Broadway Musical, "Rose-Marie". It was very popular for many years.
Slim Whitman performed the song in 1952, and it made him a huge star in Country music.
Mary not knowing if Godzilla is a dinosaur or a gorilla.... I.... I just can't...
We call it plumber's crack in American English Mary
In Germany we call it Klempner
Dekolleté = plumber's cleavage.
In the UK it's known as builder's bum, arse crack or bum crack.
At one point (hopefully still the case) on the DVD they had a "Martian" option for subtitle languages. It was just "Ack! Ack! Ack!"
There are a few decade-specific gags in this film that younger audiences would have no way of knowing about. One of which is about the yodeler, Slim Whitman. He was a singer but in the 1970s, cheap ads for his albums BLANKETED American independent television broadcasting, especially late at night when old sci-fi movies would be broadcast. They were famously godawful. You couldn't escape the ads and this was Tim Burton's revenge. GREAT reaction, Ms Mary, really enjoyed it.
Patient: "Doctor, I keep dreaming that I'm Tom Jones! The dreams won't stop! Does this happen to other people?"
Doctor: "Well, it's not unusual."
about the copyright, i follow a lot of reaction channels, and I have never ever watched a movie reaction BEFORE or, most importantly, INSTEAD of a movie.
if anything, movie reactions actually promote the movie, because if I don't kow the movie, I will go and watch it first before the reaction. you guys are giving these movies free advertising, and not acting as a replacement. i hope one day they see their mistake.
They won't. Even if they do see it that way. Corporations have to actively defend their copyright or else their claim to it is lessened in the eyes of the law in future instances. It's dumb
A silly movie. Even though everyone is dying. It still keeps you smiling.
Love the scene with them carrying the translator saying, don't run we are your friends, while blasting people at the same time. 😂
21:43 “artie dutie” was adorable 🤣
Thanks for all the great reactions, including this one! "Mars Attacks" was based on a series of bubblegum cards from 1962. Many of the more gory scenes in the movie are actually copied from the cards. There was a lot of outrage from children's parents over the cards, and sales were stopped. But when those children grew up (like me), we expressed enough interest that the entire set was re-released as a collectible, multiple times.
The yodeling was by a country singer named Slim Whitman. He holds a special niche in American culture because in the 1980s there were a series of tv commercials advertising his music, especially the yodeling. Every American viewer of the movie in the theater would have recognized his voice and laughed.
Funny I recognize his name but not the song. Maybe if I heard more of it.
"He's sold more records than the Beatles, or even Elvis!" 😂

Back in the early 1960’s, I collected the Mars Attacks! cards. They were very graphic and I’m surprised that my mom let me have them.
Look at our Mary growing up, recognizing actors and actresses by their names. She even mentioned Tim Burton so she knows his style.
But this movie was not Tim Burton’s style. For years, I never knew that this movie was directed by Tim Burton because it doesn’t even look him, his style is “dark and gothic” this movie wasn’t that
An enjoyable re-ack!-ack!-ackack!-tion.
I see what you did there
So many of the set piece scenes are storyboards from the Mats Attack playing cards of the sixties. As a little boy we had to sneak around to see the cards because they were so bloody. This comedy captures so much of the lunacy of our society that it’s still brilliant in its parity.
Pierce Brosnan:
"The November Man" (2014)
"Dante's Peak" (1997)
"The Thomas Crown Affair" (1999 remake)
"Survivor" (2015)
Pierce was great in Mrs. Doubtfire. He was more of a costar, but still...
FINALLY, somebody reacts to this overlooked classic.
Try Cinebinge. They're funny af.
Movie reactor 5350: "I don't know with which Bond movie to start...."
My crazy idea: Start with the FIRST one! ;-) ---- Dr. No (1962, with Sean Connery)
Thanks for the reaction to this one!
3:17 - "I really want to get into James Bond, but I have no clue where to start, so let me know." - Start with the first James Bond film, Dr. No (1962), starring Sean Connery.
9:40 - "How do you call that in English when you se your butt?" - When someone exposes their butt to someone else, intentionally, or unintentionally, it's call "mooning" them. Or if you want to call attention to it (maybe the person doesn't realize their pants are that low), you could say something like "Wow, there's a full moon out tonight." On the other hand, when you only see the top of the person's butt crack, that's usually referred to as a "coin slot". So a good joke might be "I guess the martians are going to have to pay a toll, there's the coin slot."
Around the same time this movie was released another great sci fi instant classic was also released - Independence Day. That movie had as many outstanding actors and began close to the way this one did - with many believing the aliens to be peaceful.
The War of the Worlds ,1898 H G Wells In the book it is the bacteria that finally kill the Martians There are several movies base on this story and one very famous radio broadcast
For years after watching this film with my young son, we would engage in conversations of ACK ACK ACK-ACK ACK!
So much trivia with this movie.
The story is based on a series of American bubblegum trading cards (Topps was the company) issued in the 1960s.
The Martians and most of the film scenes were duplicated directly from the cards.
Some of the depictions were renditions of iconic SciFi monsters.
Tim Burton wanted MORE name actors and NO CGI, however his budget was severely cut part the way through, so he had to use CGI and fewer big actors.
You should be able to recognize name actors who have appeared in other Tim Burton films.
Burton got Jack Nicholson because Nicholson played the Joker in Burton's "Batman".
Burton was allowed Jack Nicholson as long as Nicolson's character wasn't killed in the storyline; Burton responded by giving Nicholson TWO characters and killing BOTH.
Okay, that's a start. I leave it to others to add more trivia.
The "WIN" at the end is the same as in "Attack of the Killer Tomatos".
Hello Mary, if you try the James Bond movies start chronologically. Its fun to see the slight changes in the Bond Character through the 1960's through today. Also, the theme songs are really good! Things to remember about the Character of James Bond #1 Bond is an older middle aged spy past his prime. #2 Bonds has many flaws but uses his wit and creativity to get the job done. Very fun!
Happy to hear "Are tee Do tee" is still with us lol.
True confession: For several years, I would play this movie while I graded student work. Life just seemed to make more sense that way.
Another Martian invasion movie that may be useful as a reaction film for October (Halloween season) is the 1953 version of Invaders from Mars. Low budget with not much humor, but the paranoia and creepiness factors were probably more intense than responsible parents would expose there kids to. Fortunately, I had great parents, and the nightmares have never stopped!
I love this super silly spoof of sci-fi movies from the 1950’s. This was based on a series of bubble gum cards issued in the US.
Oh please react to the entire Bond franchise! Bond #1 "Dr. No" 1962.
I have to admit...already loved your reactions. Now, it's a new level of ❤ cause I watched T. Burton film this as an extra!
"Is he a Bond guy?" - I haven't laughed out loud like that in a long time. 😄
"Do the aliens have 2 sexes like we do?" Mary - "This was made in 1990???" Priceless reaction. Good to see you take this movie in stride as it was meant to.
When I first watched "Mars Attacks!" I didn't get the word that this was a comedy until Slim Whitman's warbling "Indian Love Call" turned Martian brains into "tomato soup.";) Since then, I'm in on the joke and wonder if Aliens really like Chuck Berry, as one comedian asserted.;)
Pam Grier:
"Jackie Brown" (1997)
"abductees" have a proclivity for fantasy and evidence supports the theory that fantasy-prone people engage in elaborate imaginings and often confuse fantasy with reality.
Just like core novel genre's, movie genres, abduction stories have core themes in most peoples minds, so the idea that when sifting through a bunch of them you find some with similarities isn't unusual.
And proof of the general theme of abductions just being common fantasy is that Users of the psychedelic drug DMT have often had similar psychedelic trips, while not actually being abducted.
8:42 "Do Martians have 2 sexes like we do?" - [😂🤣😂😂]
- "This film was made in the nineties!"
So..? Did anything change?
Where to start with James bond?
The beginning. Go through the theatrical films in order starting with Doctor No.
In my hometown we only had a summer cinema. That is a fancy way to say that there was a massive screen and projector (think about a car cinema), but with chairs, in the open air. And only two or three different films per year. Honestly, I have many fond memories of that place.
But one of the most memorable was the time when my mother brougth my brother and I, very young children, to watch the movie, because it was the one available AND the poster was drawn, so she thought it was about alien cartoons.
I vividly remember looking at her in the scene when the alient bites the fingers off and spits them into the fish tank and she looked back at me with the expression of "what have I done?"
By the way, this happened to us once again, with the Brotherhood of the Wolves, which starts with a very scary chase scene, and then we see the naked woman drown and with the neck torn, and my brother was very scared, so my mother said fuck it and we left. First and only time I have ever left a movie. We moved to another movie after explaining the situation to the person outside.
The other movie was even worse, becausae it was one of those stupid summer movies full of raunchy comedy. But we were so young that we did not get any of the dirty jokes, so at least we got that.
Grandma is played by Patricia Neal who starred in one of the first, best, and most influential alien encounter films, The Day the Earth Stood Still from 1951. It was directed by Robert Wise who is probably best known for editing Orson Welles' Citizen Kane (1941) and directing Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979). The film also has a wonderful, groundbreaking electronic score by Bernard Herrmann, who also scored Citizen Kane but he is probably known to you and most others for Psycho (1960). Welles and Herrmann collaborated on many projects including the infamous 1938 radio adaptation of H.G. Welles' Martian invasion story War of the Worlds.
Who's James Bond? That's Remington Steele.
It's a war of ackackholes vs ackackholes. Whoever loses--we win.
"Don't run away! We are your friends!"
There were two different lines of toys for this film. One had the retro-50s sci-fi look of the movie, and the other had a sleeker, more futuristic look. I assume the producers created designs for the movie in two different styles.
The Godzilla footage is from 'Godzilla vs Biollante' 1989.
Love the fact that Brosnan and Joe Don Baker (Jack Black's father) end up in Goldeneye and Tomorrow Never Dies.
we so appreciate the work it takes to get around copyright x thank you for another awesome reaction :)
This movie connects images from a Tops trading card series.
Mars Attacks is a science fiction-themed trading card series released in 1962 by Topps. The cards feature artwork by science fiction artists Wally Wood and Norman Saunders.
This movie was based on a series of trading cards from 1962. I believe as a kid you would buy a small pack of cards and it also came with a stick of chewing gum. The aliens look almost exactly like how they were on the cards.
They delayed the release of this movie for nearly a year because it's original release window was right next to Independence Day, which you have seen. Similar plot.
Really? I didn’t know it was based on anything… I thought it was just a parody of sci-fi movies from the 50s
@@nsasupporter7557 That's why it's good to have nerds like me around.
ah, the nostalgia. i watched this on repeat as a child. 😂
After struggling 24h with copyrights !
Glad you could get it online darling :D
Can't wait to watch this one :3
Take care ♥
Warner Brothers Attacks!
I was really excited to see this when it came out, but when I did finally watch it, I didn't know what to think of it...
For some unknown reason, I watched it a few more times over the next year, and on one of those viewings, it occurred to me that if I keep watching it, I might actually like it. And then I grew to love it over the next few times seeing it.
This film is one of the best casts in movie history. It's like they just went through Hollywood and asked for the top 40 people that would star in a film and lets make them a reporter or something. HAHA
Also, Bond, there is only one thing to do, watch all from the top. It's a commitment and will take time, but it's worth it to see the different era's of film making, the different Bond's styles and the difference in the stories themselves through the years. All of them are fun an entertaining in their own way.
One of my favorite movies is set in Belguim. "In Bruges" with Colin Farrel, Ralph Fienes & Brendan Gleason. It's a dark comedy.
Best yodeling in cinema, raising arizona. also the best movie for new parents.
Funfact: Arf arf arf was mostly used by Charles M Schulz with Peanuts. So now when I see that anywhere I instantly have to think about Snoopy..which gives me a real good feeling
"Let's gooo!" is an important part of the experience
Fun fact, there was a time when this was trying to be created. All the actors heard about it and helped make it ;)
The movie is surprisingly historically accurate for a movie. Those were some dark days.
Great TIm Burton film. Another one of his if you have not seen it is Sleepy Hollow.
You definitely won't get that lucky twice, the next kid will be a devil. As an older brother, I can confirm it
Slim Whitman is real, a big country star in the 1950s and 60s. I remember them hawking his songs on late night TV when I was a kid.
I suggest starting at the Beginning of the Bond franchise with “Dr. No”. You COULD start with the Daniel Craig ones with “Casino Royale”, but it would be cool if you did the whole franchise. It does seem daunting but it’s worth it.
And the other Casino Royale 😁
I was about to say both!
@@Temeraire101 I haven’t seen that one yet haha. I just know it’s supposed to be a comedy.
9:35 plumber's crack
I care about Belgium Fabrique Nationale Herstal makes some of my favorite products.
"Sounds like someone we've heard do speeches a few decades before."
As a german, I see what you did there😂😂😂.
OMG amazing that you got round to watching this crazy classic . Loved the reaction 😎
Hi Mary, glad you enjoyed this film. As regards Tom Jones, as you seemed to enjoy his singing have you heard "What`s New Pussycat". It was a song he sang as a theme tune for a 1965 comedy film. There are YT videos of him singing it to an audience full of his female fans. :)
Me and my friends literally greet each other with ack ack aaack since we saw this movie together. Love it still.
This is such an ACK ACK fun movie!
I saw an UFO as a kid, but the literally meaning of the acronym, something flying I could not understand. Was in Alojera, La Gomera, Canary Islands 1997 or 1998. Very remote place (you can check in google images). Was 17:00 Summer afternoon so was very sunny and blue sky. We were 5 kids we were tired of playing soccer so we sit outside my home. Sudenlly we all quiet and look at the sky and something very shiny and lime green was slowing falling to the ocean for a minute, suddenly stopped in the middle of the air and go up super fast and disappear in seconds.Then one kid said "I feel I have to go home" and all said "me too" and we never speak about it.
8:55 😅 I Love You, Mary …
Thanks for the laughter 🤭
Subscribed 4 Life ❤️
I like to point out that this alien invasion parody came out about half a year after Independence Day.
Congratulations on being a science fiction convert. Welcome to the club!
No-one would suspect that woman is a martian in "disguise." 🙃😉
"I want to get into James Bond, but I don't know where to start." - One channel I saw a ran some polls. They allowed subscribers to vote, then picked the top two Bond movies from all the different James Bonds. This way, they shortened the list and still got to sample all the Bonds. BTW, I love that the top comments are entirely Bond-related, and not this movie. LOL.
When doing James Bond start with Dr. No. There’s a spoof sixties movie called Casino Royal that is James Bond related but not officially canon. The end of this movie where the song is used to defeat the Martians a call back to a movie called Attack of the Killer Tomatoes. And yes the US congress being blown up by Martians is funny.
This is something akin to a cartoon in that it's funy and violent at the same time.
The producer and director were told "You can't kill off Jack Nicholson" - so they gave Jack TWO roles ... then 'killed off' BOTH of them!
i think the bond question is hard because everyone tells you to start with "their" bond
i personnally like everything from golden eye onwards, because for me that was the start of "modern" bond with pierce brosnan (who i also think is more fun then the current grimmy one)
Start your James Bond journey with the first and best Bond. Sean Connery in St. No (1963). From Ian Fleming 's book of the same title opportunities in 1958.
So very sorry I am so late, Mary! Hey, I care about Belgium because you and your family live there. "Byron" is Jim Brown. One of the most famous American football players of all time. Lost him last year, at the age of 87.
in the '50s there was a set of trading cards that this was losely based on.
Hadn't seen you in a while. Great reaction. You get better every time I watch! I hope the little one has your dimples...
"They came in peace." Bzzzzzt!
Welcome to silly, yet entertaining, over-the-top dark humor.
Enjoyed you enjoying this all-star oddity. :)
According to the Wiki both Brussels and Antwerp were destroyed during Independence Day. so some aliens care about Belgium
24:13 Aaaw, we care about Belgium. Well, the beers and the chocolate anyway 😀 Mmmm, Leffe...
Trust me, you'll be walking around the house saying "ACK ACK ACK" for days.
Good for you Mary!
Yes, Pierce Brosnan was one of the actors who played James Bond. If you’re interested in reacting to the James Bond movie series you should start with “Dr No” that was the first James Bond movie from 1962 starring Sean Connery, he was the original actor to play James Bond
James-Bond-wise I can recommend "Tomorrow Never Dies" and "The World is not Enough" with Pierce Brosnan.
About Tim Burton: I liked "Corpse Bride" and "Sweeney Todd" a lot.
The studio heads told the director that he could have Jack Nicholson but he shouldn't die as he was the star of the film; so Burton gave him two roles and killed him twice!
For the last twenty years I've been controlling a country in an online nation simulator game (yes, I'm 'that' cool ^.~) and we had great fun roleplaying a cheesy alien invasion like this throughout 2008 in my local 'world' - it was delightfully silly. ^_^
Goldeneye (Brosnan’s first Bond film) is a great place to start.
8:40 based humans
Awesome reaction of my favorite movie!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊
As with most things, start at the beginning: The first James Bond movie, Dr No.
Ack-ack, ack, ack, ack-ack! Great tribute to the alien invasion movies of the 50s and 60s. So many stars signed on to the project. The best use of Slim Whitman music ever. As far as Bond movies go; please start with DR NO. All the guys are great, each with their own style, but you need to see the man who gave the rest a base to work from. Take care of Alex
Lisa Marie is so good in this.
You should check out Pam Grier the mom in this in the movie Jackie Brown from Quentin Tarantino,She was a big star back in the early 70s blaxploitation era!
