Really good list, I do agree with the top five, I actually think Hereditary is the scariest movie thats come out in a very long time (maybe ever)/agree with the Ari Aster fanboying, and love seeing American Werewolf + Jeepers included, underrated horrors imo Surprised that Talk to Me isn't included though! That would easily make my top ten horrors, also would of thought you'd be including the Substance

Great job 👍

Love your list. Actually I'm surprised how many of the 25 I've seen, and most of them with you ;-). Definitely agree with The Sixth Sense being there, in fact it's on my Top 10 favourite movies of all time, as is The Others, which I watched with you and George when you were quite young. George was very young, as I remember it. We watched it with the lights off. He was sitting on the sofa next to me and I could tell he was shaking like a leaf. Or maybe he was still and it was me shaking like a leaf ;-). I'm still amazed it's only a 12A rating. The Shining: Yes! That's in my Top 10 and probably Top 5 of best movies ever. I had to check just now that Nicholson did indeed improvise the line, referencing Ed McMahon's catchphrase from The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, and it's true.

Shocked to see Scream at number 2, I thought it would be your number 1 for sure! Great list, I’ve seen most of these but interested in The Others!

This was great. I've got to get myself on Watchman, sounds right up my alley!

It doesn’t seem like those responsible for this film had any respect for the viewers or even the first movie.

Congrats 🎉

Very interesting answers. I hope you'll do another AMA sometime. I predicted your "worst film ever" would be the absolutely dreadful 'Flesh Gordon' (1974). I thought we'd watched it together as part of one of our deliberate 'bad movie' nights, but looking on your Letterboxd, I don't see it recorded as a film you've seen! Please tell me I didn't imagine it! Maybe you didn't count it as, in my mind anyway, we couldn't finish it? ;-).

I agree. Personally I can't stand 4, 5 and 6 where freddy became a parody of himself. If this was recut, it could be incredible. I would take out coach snider sequence with the s&m bar and his death (and any reference to it after), take out the exploding bird and take out the zombie dogs at the end. I think the story of 3 with the dark freddy of 2 would have been the best sequel

Good review man.

I struggled to draw anything profound out of The Substance. I left the viewing feeling like I'd just watched an elaborately produced bikini commercial. The film doesn't say anything particularly interesting about desire, age or femininity. I really detest films which shove lots of flesh down your throat, and then pretend to have some grand pretext for debauching your imagination. 'The Substance' is a very close cousin of the 'X/Maxxxine' movies, which combine absolutely irrational scenarios with a script that has been lifted from an 'Archie' comic. The fact that some of this film's most ardent critics are intelligent young women, really says something too. If you look at Rodin's famous sculpture of the aging beauty, it says infinitely more about women and ageing, than this cheap sex-ploitation film. Read a Charlotte Bronte novel, if you really want to understand womanhood.

amazing movie. so original

This movie had top tier body horror and satire, and possibly by design Dennis Quaid's character was the most repulsive part of this film.

does your passion for watching and reviewing movies ever inspire you to want to delve into movie-making yourself?

Absolutely classic

Which movie did you watch and expect to like, but actually hated? And vice verse?

There's a Radio 4 series called "I've Never Seen Star Wars", which brings celebs on to confess that they haven't seen or done something which most people have. The title comes from the show's producer and creator, Bill Dare, having never seen the Star Wars films. Are there movies which you really "should" have seen, or we'd expect you to have seen? Perhaps there are ones that you are even embarrassed not to have seen. If so, as well as confessing what they are, please explain why you have so far avoided them ;-)

I used to collect all "Nightmare on Elm Street" VHS tapes and I adore the movie...

The night house was written as a hellraiser movie.

One of the weakest ones of the series but The Bus Scene is cool and there are some spooky moments.

Leaving to help with the algorithm

You should post some youtube shorts, they're free adveritsements

Great to watch your reviews Jack after IKP told me about the channel. Great to hit this first milestone. Do you have any favourite movie quotes? I mostly don't like to quote from films, mostly.

Have you ever been interested?

Are there any movies you loved when you were younger, but you now realise are not as good as you thought? And how about the reverse? P.s. cool posters!

Question: Have you ever walked out of the cinema, part way though a movie? If not, have you ever been tempted to, or regretted later not having done so?! I walked out of Wolf Creek in 2005, as soon as the maniac started chopping off people's fingers... I waited outside, as my partner at the time wanted to carry on watching. She came out about 10 minutes later.

You often mention in your reviews that you've watched a movie multiple times. What's your record for the most re-watches of a movie, and why did you watch it so many times? I've seen The Shining about 6 times over the years, revisiting it with different people, and different stages in life; ditto 'Withnail and I', as there's always more to laugh at there IMO. Actually, guilty pleasure: I've seen Jack Black's Nacho Libre a similar number of times, for the same reason ;-)

Nuts that you're on a 100 videos soon too! I'd like to know which movie(s) were responsible for making you love film as much as you do

What if eimenem made a movie. Well he did. 6th mile. Watch it and do a review it.

Love your reviews mate and it's been such a pleasure to see you going from strength to strength in every sense. My question is: what is the worst (defined however you like) movie you've ever seen? You and I have seen some dreadful ones together, sometimes by design and sometimes by accident. I wonder if it's one of those, or another I've never even heard of perhaps.

I watched this when I was far too young: 22 years old ;-). I was going on a first date, and she asked if we could go and see the sequel at the cinema. I'd not seen the original, or anything like it before, so I rented the video, which had just been released, so I could prepare myself. I watched it alone at night and had to keep stopping it, as it was making me so anxious. The date didn't go well and she went off with my mate soon after. And now, all these decades later, you've triggered all this trauma in me again!!

Great review. "Iconic" is the right word for it, there's a reason Freddy is so deeply engrained in pop culture now. And it still holds up as a really fun scary watch

Great review man. Love the OG Nightmare

Ive never looked at that scene of him walking into the gang meeting as the same as The Dark Knight but your totally right! Great review 👍

Pretty much a agree with all points, also preferred the first half tone wise and thought the third act could have been stronger. Top review as always! T&T

1. Aliens 2. Alien 3. Romulus 4. Prometheus 5. Covenant 6. AVP 7. Resurrection 8. Alien 3 9. AVP: Requiem

Great ranking. I've only seen your top 4 but I think I'd rank them exactly the same, with the same difficulty between Romulus and Prometheus. I was excited to watch Covenant next but your review has really not sold it to me!

i thought it was pretty good! i was worried at the start of the film that it'd be a teen slasher with a coat of Alien paint, but i thought it managed to stay true to what made the original Alien films so good while still having its own ideas.

Great review and great film. Didn't try to do too much, and succeeded with everything it tried. Can't wait for the Allen ranking

What an amazing coincidence: I was going to suggest we watch this a couple of weeks ago! I saw it on TV, late at night, in the late '70s, not knowing what to expect and being very confused by the whole experience, and of course, shocked too. It's stayed with me and it's certainly a Must See movie. I'd like to say more, but can't as it's a Spoiler Free review ;-)

Great video! I respect the difficulty of narrowing things down to lists like this. I had the same experience in the cinema with Quiet Place. Maybe now I'll rewatch it and check out the second one

Great review man glad to hear its entertaining for the most part but shame that its slightly predictable with the character arcs i do want to check this out since i really enjoyed the previous 2 but do want to wait till streaming

I love this movie!

Totally agree! It wasn’t missable but it just wasn’t that exciting either 😕

Good ranking. Here’s mine imo: 5. Beyond Thunderdome 4. Furiosa 3. Fury Road 2. Mad Max (1979) 1. Mad Max 2

It was a big drop in quality from the first 2 for me, though not terrible. I agree that the first part in Barter town was much better. The kids were just bizarre with this peter pan environment, and I mostly just got bored for the rest of the film. The tone like you said was just off, and didn't suit the franchise.
