Indian movies are on German TV all the time and are enjoyed by mom's of all colors and creeds. But I understand that this isn't a big market. That being said, when Shah Rukh Khan visited Berlin recently, he attracted a huge crowd and media attention. So I'd say Indian movies are fairly popular in Germany.
I'm from India and this is shocking. On one hand I'm utterly embarrassed because bollywood is an absolute shit-show but on the other hand I'm glad people in Europe enjoy it and can appreciate something that comes from India
@@amj.composerYeah just shut up. This whole Bollywood is completely shit narrative is driven by politically motivated morons who think Bollywood isn't politically aligned with the saffron Nazis in the power. Bollywood does good movies too but people want to watch masala trash like Salaar, Animal and other shit. Bollywood has no option but to make those shitty masala movies or sell the good ones to streaming services.
Idk how Patrick didn’t think about this sooner, but why not make a video about Irish cinema? This could be something he would be more familiar with, and it would be a perfect opportunity to showcase his mom and her experience in that field.

For the guy asking about runtimes of Bollywood movies- I feel like they’re getting shorter. Recently I was considering seeing John Wick 4 or watching a Bollywood movie and to my surprise both movies I was considering were shorter than it
Hey Patrick. As someone from the UK I thought I’d tell you that as far as my experience goes, Bollywood and Indian media in general has always been pretty popular here through my lifetime. Shows led by British-Indian actors like Goodness Gracious Me and The Kumars are considered comedy classics. And then there are British movies like East is East, starring Om Puri, Bend It Like Beckham and Bride & Prejudice, directed by the wonderful Gurinder Chadha, and of course Slumdog Millionaire, which were all critically well-received and successful at the box office, and helped weave a positive portrayal of Indian culture into the mainstream consciousness. As for Indian media directly, we have several Indian television networks here with soaps and movies playing all the time. Vidhaata is playing right now as I type this comment. And in my local cinema today there is a showing for the movie Zara Hatke Zara Bachke. So I don’t know about Europe as a whole, but from firsthand experience as a white person in the UK, Indian entertainment has been easily accessible to me through TV and movies for as long as I can remember. Love your videos btw! Your Bollywood one is one of your best yet. Edit: oh also, knowing of your love of The OC, I was wondering if you’d ever do a video looking into more teen dramas of that era, like Greek and One Tree Hill? And I always thought it was interesting how Kevin Williamson revitalised the slasher genre with Scream and IKWYDLS, and then also revitalised the teen drama genre with Dawson’s Creek. That dude had a good late-90s.
Eight Movies to Summarize American Cinema. We've got to encompass eras and genres in this. #1 - Silent Era, I think perhaps Safety Last! is the most quintessential of the silent comedy features, though I think if we want to emulate Siddhant's list it should be films that were popular at the time, so part of me wants to go with The Big Parade. But, let's combine both into *Charlie Chaplin's The Kid* #2 - Pre-Code/Early Talkies, I want to incorporate transitional periods as prominently as the main eras themselves (and with the number of films I think it works out well). So, for a film to bridge the gap not just from Silents to Talkies but also from the Pre-Code to Code, I think *Cecil B. Demille's Sign of the Cross* works wonders for this point, despite it being less famous than some of the others on this list. A period epic made by the old master of style over substance that put the zealots into a fit! #3 - Code Era, Essentially cramming all of Old Hollywood into one film is a near impossible task, and I want to do a cop-out like Gone with the Wind or Citizen Kane, just one of the already most famous films ever made, but I think nothing encapsulates the era quite like *The Best Years of Our Lives*, a post-war drama about soldiers trying to return to their life at home, merging the era's lust for war films with a lot of the tender dramas that remain popular from that era. #4 - Birth of New Hollywood - For this era, while The Graduate would probably be better, especially since it was more popular then, I want to instead put *Bonnie and Clyde*, because the film itself does feel like a mix of the old and new. While it's plot is reminiscient of a classic noir/crime movie, it revolutionized the form of American Cinema, and changed the way these movies were made! #5 - New Hollywood - What defined New Hollywood? Its emphasis on realism over the idealized worlds of Old Hollywood? Perhaps the newfound freedom to show more kinds of stories, free from censorship? Maybe the birth of the blockbuster and a new kind of monoculture surrounding it? For this, two movies come to mind, and while The Exorcist is tempting, I think I really gotta choose *Jaws*. It's THE Summer Blockbuster. #6 - Rise of the Indie - look. It's gotta be *Pulp Fiction*. What else could it be? I don't even like the movie that much, but no other movie is so emblematic of the 90s Indie Film Movement. #7 - The Digital Era - I'm picking *Avatar* here to represent the advancement of digital effects, as well as represent the modern state of the Blockbuster, where you throw actors onto a soundstage, say their lines to no one, and then CG the rest of the film around them. Also considered *The Avengers (2012)*, as Marvel has been so dominant, but I think Avatar might somehow have more staying power than that film. I could be wrong. #8 - Wild Card - I had an extra slot to just kinda throw in a film to represent something that's been missing, and I feel like this list needs a musical. And, of the unrepresented decades (50s, 80s, 2010s), the 1950s has the greatest musicals. And I feel like the obvious choice has to be Singin' in the Rain. I mean, Babylon did it too! It's the perfect cap-off to a list of movies, a movie about movies. tl;dr: 1. The Kid 2. The Sign of the Cross 3. The Best Years of Our Lives 4. Bonnie and Clyde 5. Jaws 6. Pulp Fiction 7. Avatar 8. Singin' in the Rain Edit: Already regretting not including an animated film on here. Fuck Pre-Code, swap The Sign of the Cross with Snow White.

In my defense, i did it in 5 minutes. I'd try to list Chile but i can only think of Neruda

Its cool to hear that you're entertaining the idea of doing this again sometime with other countries. Really would be cool with any of those mentioned. If you do Japan, I definitely have seen a lot and would make recommendations, but I'm sure a lot of fans can. If I could suggest a place that wasn't brought up, I really dig what I've seen of the Taiwan New Wave movement: Brighter Summer Day is a standout that might make a good introduction, as I can't imagine someone not finding something interesting or moving in it.
Nah, unpopular opinion here, but East Asian cinema already has enough hype honestly (if not seriously overhyped at times), it would just be re-stating what most film critics already said. - I appreciated him choosing India because there exists such a strong stereotype in the west against Indian Films, and Indian People. We really don't need to hear more about japan, chinese, or korean film. I want to hear about other countries, regions, and cultures that white people don't worship
I would love if you made a deep dive in movies from Brazil and other South American countries, I may be biased (because I’m Brazilian) but Brazilian cinema may be one of the best in the world, it’s very diverse and interesting
8 Movies for American Cinema (In Chronological Order): The Wizard of Oz (1939) 12 Angry Men (1957) Psycho (1960) 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) The Godfather (1972) Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) Full Metal Jacket (1987) Pulp Fiction (1994) I was up in the air between full metal jacket and saving private ryan, but went with full metal jacket because the Nazis are the bad guys in raiders and there wasn't anything about Vietnam. Also a toss up between Wizard of Oz, Casablanca, and It's a Wonderful Life. I went with Wizard of Oz for the musical representation as well as the tone of the other two overlapping with 12 Angry Men. Honorable Mentions: Legally Blonde, The Grand Budapest Hotel, The Good The Bad and The Ugly (Notably a Spaghetti Western, not Hollywood), The Sound of Music
I tune in for further info on your India trip, and I get an Orange Cassidy AEW reference as well as a Buster Keaton mention. You must be my twin brother.
Patrick would maybe like T20 cricket. It's shorter and more vibrant with cheerleaders and stuff like that. Also, explore Caribbean cinema maybe? Like outside of Cuba and Jamaica. They're prolific compared to other islands.
Just for fun here’s 8 Canadian movies to get you aquainted with out film history (coming from a guy still trying to fully dive into it); Goin Down the Road Meatballs Videodrome Strange Brew Last Night Fubar Stories We Tell Mommy The list is missing proper indigenous representation, but like I said I’m still trying to become more aquainted with Canada’s film history
A good list! Could add Atanarjuat the Fast Runner, the first big indigenous-made feature. Blood Quantum or Angry Inuk for something more modern. Definitely need some Quebecois representation (or maybe Quebec needs its own list. On that note, maybe indigenous films do too). I'm very unfamiliar with Francophone cinema but Mon Oncle Antoine usually gets held up as a landmark film. The Decline of the American Empire is another. You have a Don McKellar, an Ivan Reitman, a Sarah Polley, and a David Cronenberg, excellent. But no Atom Egoyan. I don't even know which one I would pick: it's probably between Exotica and The Sweet Hereafter. Not sure if there should be a Guy Maddin film on there too. Paring down to eight is such a challenge! I feel like Black Christmas (1974) needs representation too--that also gets some Bob Clark recognition in there--definitely need something to showcase the best of Canuxploitation.
Intro to American Cinema in 8 - 1. Chaplin's The Kid 2. Casablanca 3. The Wizard of Oz 4. The Great Escape 5. Jaws 6. When Harry Met Sally 7. Beauty and the Beast 8. Almost Famous
patrick, i paused the video at the 8 american movies to make my own list, and the very first three i thought of were Sherlock Jr, Citizen Kane and Singin' in the Rain. so it isn't original but you picked eight correct movies!
Nice to hear you wanna explore regional/world cinema it's a nice change of pace as opposed to the usual videos about Hollywood or superhero blockbusters! (Not that your videos about those things are bad, the opposite actually)
I totally was going to ask about the dance routine but I figured that's what would be everyone's question! I wanted to know how long that took to learn!
@14:20 that's a great way to look at things. unlike some other youtubers who've made it big just solely on their bollywood reaction content and indian audiences but don't put in any effort to learn the correct pronunciation.
8 Movies to Introduce People to American Cinema (tried my best to pick different genres & decades as much as possible) 1. Stagecoach 2. Pinocchio 3. Vertigo 4. The Godfather 5. Terminator 6. Fantastic Mr. Fox 7. The Tree of Life 8. The Avengers
19:48 Hi MrTwelvePips, I hope you get to see this and would be interested in the itinerary you come up with. One place I would suggest would be Yakushima Island which inspired Princess Mononoke. It’s beautiful and whilst not directly film industry related I don’t think you’d regret it. Kagoshima in general is lovely, and as you’d be down that way, island hop, beach about and surf.
The 8 Movies: White Heat Casablanca Singin' in the Rain The Godfather Jaws Ghostbusters Terminator 2 Ray The Dark Knight I don't love all the movies here but they reveal a lot about all eras of Hollywood except the current one.
The only sci-fi-ish Bollywood movies I can think of are Koi... Milgaya, which is like a really weird India ET, and Baar Baar Dekho, which is a love story with time travel. I would recommend the latter above the former, but that's just my take.
24:26 Not all cricket matches take that long. T20 Cricket, the shorter format, usually wraps in 3.5-4 hrs. And those points you made about Baseball being the most cinematic sport (in an earlier video), applies even more for Cricket.
On the topic of spirituality/religion in Bollywood, it's there, but religion is just so ingrained in Indian culture that it isn't really the focus. But there are some religious tropes that come up in Bollywood that always make me laugh whenever they come up. For example, there is this one sholk (hope I spelled that right) "Om Jai Jagdish Hare" that a character will sing on screen to show that they are sanskari (meaning virtued/traditional). Simran does that in DDLJ. Another is random divine intervention, where the conflict is solved because god literally steps in to fix things. See the ending of Hum Aapke Hain Kaun or Mujhse Dosti Karoge (this one is especially funny). It's always done in an over the top ridiculous way, like Krishna telling a dog to deliver a not or knocking sindur onto Rani Mukerji's head.
I’m not an American but my would be: 1. The Godfather 2. The Shawshank Redemption 3. Back to the future 4. Star Wars Part 4 5. The Judge 6. No strings attached 7. Home Alone 8. The Avengers I wished to capture all the types and genres of movies here. Heavily biased towards my taste of my American cinema. But yeah, this is it.
On the subject of Japanese Cinema, I went to Japan a few years ago and I got to go on a tour of TOHO studios, which is the biggest film studio in Japan where the Godzilla movies and many of Akira Kurosawa's movies were made. They even had the prop of the oxygen destroyer that killed Godzilla in the original film on display.
Here’s your 8 American Essential Films The Wizard of Oz Citizen Kane It’s a Wonderful Life Casablanca The Searchers The Godfather Star Wars (1977) Titanic
About that car with the XXX logo, I wonder if it's like here in Peru, where a pop culture decal (like the Thundercats logo, Batsymbol, etc.) may mean they have some sort protection by a local mafia.
BTW, each 'half' of a cricket match is called an innings like in baseball and you've never had an iced coffee? Shot of espresso, milk with a scoop of ice cream for sweetness. Awesome on a hot day.
If I had to pick 8 movies for somebody to be introduced to Hollywood movies, I would probably try to suggest the following: 1. A Trip To The Moon (for the silent era) 2. Citizen Kane 3. Jaws 4. Star Wars 5. Back to the Future 6. Jurassic Park 7. Lord of the Rings Trilogy 8. The Avengers trilogy I realize that this list is focused mostly on the big movie from the early silent era to nowadays. These are movies that I think were huge cultural milestones for general pop culture and how movies had evolved. I didn't include animation in this despite it also being a revolutionary cinematic artform.
8 American films is a tough task but I’d probably go with somthing like; City Lights Casablanca Psycho Jaws The Breakfast Club Pulp Fiction The Matrix Spider-Man
The list of American movies id show as an intro Merrily we go to hell Wizard of oz It’s a wonderful life The searchers The graduate The princess bride Jurassic park Blakkklansman Trying to cover a wide range of topics, great American directors and cultural touchstones and movies I actually like. If I got a dozen id add Trip to the moon The thing Friday Coraline And even then id beg them to watch it happened one night and citizen Kane on their own
I was so excited to see Patrick reply to my comment. I also want to thank everyone who gave their input on what their list would be. I realized I forgot to make a list of my own. Mine would be 1. The General (because Buster Keaton is the GOAT). 2. Snow White (the birth of feature animation in America). 3. Citizen Kane (nuf said). 4. Singing in the Rain (you got to have a musical on this list and this one has the bonus of showing a transitional moment in Hollywood history). 5. Psycho (not only inspired modern horror, but the marketing was revolutionary for the time). 6. The Godfather (nuf said). 7. Batman 89 (while Superman was the first modern superhero movie, I would argue Batmania was bigger than Star Wars mania at the time; also Danny Elfman). 8. Attack of the Clones (I know this one sounds crazy, but hear me out: it's the first mainstream digital Blockbuster; while I recognize the merits of film over digital, the switch to digital lead to the digital cinema home market which I would argue had done more to democratize individual filmakers than anything else. If film had stayed the norm, RUclips videos would probably still look like they came out in 2007).
cricket is a far superior game to baseball because you get to drop the ball on the deck when bowling. This adds a dimension that's not in baseball. great work in the video!!
In Japan you can visit the grave of Ozu like Mark Cousins in The Story of Film docuseries. Btw - have you seen his docs and would like your take. Plenty of African, Middle Eastern, Euro and US films in his work. Cheers from Tasmania.

Also, my picks for 20th Century American Film Canon for N00bs: 1910s and 1920s I won’t include, because I haven’t watched anything from those decades (that I’m aware of). 1930s: The Wizard of Oz 1940s: Fantasia 1950s: Gentlemen Prefer Blondes 1960s: Planet of the Apes 1970s: Star Wars: A New Hope 1980s: Back to the Future & Batman 1990s: Jumanji
1) The Great Dictator 2) Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs 3) High Noon 4) Signing in the Rain {so people get a history of American Silent Film era} 5) Star Wars: New Hope 6) Halloween 7) Jurassic Park 8) Iron Man
You want to see more films from different corners of the world? Get yourself invited to the International Film Festival Rotterdam at the end of January! Two weeks packed with all kinds of films from every continent. I volunteer there and would love to greet you at one of our venues!
my only opinion is East Asian film has enough hype - I don't need to hear what western critics have already said. Explore cinema that doesn't get much recognition or hype in the west, like Indian Cinema for one is quite refreshing.
8 films for an intro to American Cinema? The General Gold Diggers of 1933 Best Years of Our Lives The Killing The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance Dawn of the Dead Do the Right Thing The Big Lebowski
In terms of Indian film viewing, Japan’s presence has been increasing in this past decade or so. RRR became the highest grossing Indian film EVER by a margin over here! Theaters has been eager to pick up indian blockbusters and a lot of them even offer “masala showings” allowing customers to cheer like concerts… i theorize the reason why Indian cinema is successful here is because of the audience figures heavily skewing towards female, and they tend to spend way more money in theaters than male audiences Edit: Patrick, your pronunciation of Iwate prefecture is not wrong! If you need some fan assisting your Ghibli/Japan trip, I could be your guide
Oh setting a delayed fire is really easy you just need to [COMMUNITY STANDARDS VIOLATION] then leave it there and make sure no one saw you. Also it doesn’t have to be a coconut, but it helps if it is.

Just for fun here’s 8 Canadian movies to get you aquainted with out film history (coming from a guy still trying to fully dive into it);
Goin Down the Road
Meatballs
Videodrome
Strange Brew
Last Night
Fubar
Stories We Tell
Mommy
The list is missing proper indigenous representation, but like I said I’m still trying to become more aquainted with Canada’s film history
A good list! Could add Atanarjuat the Fast Runner, the first big indigenous-made feature. Blood Quantum or Angry Inuk for something more modern.
Definitely need some Quebecois representation (or maybe Quebec needs its own list. On that note, maybe indigenous films do too). I'm very unfamiliar with Francophone cinema but Mon Oncle Antoine usually gets held up as a landmark film. The Decline of the American Empire is another.
You have a Don McKellar, an Ivan Reitman, a Sarah Polley, and a David Cronenberg, excellent. But no Atom Egoyan. I don't even know which one I would pick: it's probably between Exotica and The Sweet Hereafter. Not sure if there should be a Guy Maddin film on there too.
Paring down to eight is such a challenge! I feel like Black Christmas (1974) needs representation too--that also gets some Bob Clark recognition in there--definitely need something to showcase the best of Canuxploitation.
Been a long time viewer and this is the first I'm hearing of the newfound success of Breaking Bad Jr.

3. The Wizard of Oz
4. The Great Escape
5. Jaws
6. When Harry Met Sally
7. Beauty and the Beast
8. Almost Famous
patrick, i paused the video at the 8 american movies to make my own list, and the very first three i thought of were Sherlock Jr, Citizen Kane and Singin' in the Rain. so it isn't original but you picked eight correct movies!
Nice to hear you wanna explore regional/world cinema it's a nice change of pace as opposed to the usual videos about Hollywood or superhero blockbusters! (Not that your videos about those things are bad, the opposite actually)
I totally was going to ask about the dance routine but I figured that's what would be everyone's question! I wanted to know how long that took to learn!
@14:20 that's a great way to look at things. unlike some other youtubers who've made it big just solely on their bollywood reaction content and indian audiences but don't put in any effort to learn the correct pronunciation.
21:00 Japanese Cinema video confirmed! Sorta. Glad to hear its going to happen eventually. I expected it.
love to see you do a video on Japanese, and Chinese cinema too...
My list
1. The kid
2. The wizard of oz
3. 2001: a space odyssey
4. Star wars
5. The exorcist
6. The godfather
7. Jurassic Park
8. Home alone
8 Movies to Introduce People to American Cinema (tried my best to pick different genres & decades as much as possible)
1. Stagecoach
2. Pinocchio
3. Vertigo
4. The Godfather
5. Terminator
6. Fantastic Mr. Fox
7. The Tree of Life
8. The Avengers
That taxi XXX thing is absolutely hilarious and I had no idea Breaking Bad Jr existed either until I watched this
19:48 Hi MrTwelvePips, I hope you get to see this and would be interested in the itinerary you come up with. One place I would suggest would be Yakushima Island which inspired Princess Mononoke. It’s beautiful and whilst not directly film industry related I don’t think you’d regret it. Kagoshima in general is lovely, and as you’d be down that way, island hop, beach about and surf.
Patrick really went in on that British guy lmao
The 8 Movies:
White Heat
Casablanca
Singin' in the Rain
The Godfather
Jaws
Ghostbusters
Terminator 2
Ray
The Dark Knight
I don't love all the movies here but they reveal a lot about all eras of Hollywood except the current one.
The only sci-fi-ish Bollywood movies I can think of are Koi... Milgaya, which is like a really weird India ET, and Baar Baar Dekho, which is a love story with time travel. I would recommend the latter above the former, but that's just my take.
Krish series, Raone, Action replay and Attack are other few I can think about too. It’s not a very explored genre Ig
24:26 Not all cricket matches take that long. T20 Cricket, the shorter format, usually wraps in 3.5-4 hrs.
And those points you made about Baseball being the most cinematic sport (in an earlier video), applies even more for Cricket.
On the topic of spirituality/religion in Bollywood, it's there, but religion is just so ingrained in Indian culture that it isn't really the focus. But there are some religious tropes that come up in Bollywood that always make me laugh whenever they come up. For example, there is this one sholk (hope I spelled that right) "Om Jai Jagdish Hare" that a character will sing on screen to show that they are sanskari (meaning virtued/traditional). Simran does that in DDLJ. Another is random divine intervention, where the conflict is solved because god literally steps in to fix things. See the ending of Hum Aapke Hain Kaun or Mujhse Dosti Karoge (this one is especially funny). It's always done in an over the top ridiculous way, like Krishna telling a dog to deliver a not or knocking sindur onto Rani Mukerji's head.
31:50 As an Australian...We do?
I’m not an American but my would be:
1. The Godfather
2. The Shawshank Redemption
3. Back to the future
4. Star Wars Part 4
5. The Judge
6. No strings attached
7. Home Alone
8. The Avengers
I wished to capture all the types and genres of movies here. Heavily biased towards my taste of my American cinema. But yeah, this is it.
Do check out the Bengali art snob movies from the last 70 years. I think you d be in for a surprise, contrasted with the Bollywood hits you watched.
On the subject of Japanese Cinema, I went to Japan a few years ago and I got to go on a tour of TOHO studios, which is the biggest film studio in Japan where the Godzilla movies and many of Akira Kurosawa's movies were made. They even had the prop of the oxygen destroyer that killed Godzilla in the original film on display.
23:30 I think that could also apply to America.
John Locke from Lost would say, "Anyone who watches TV knows how to rig a delayed fuse. Use a cigarette."
Three sci if films I know are ‘The krish trilogy’ ‘Mark Anthony’ And ‘Enthiran’
Here’s your 8 American Essential Films
The Wizard of Oz
Citizen Kane
It’s a Wonderful Life
Casablanca
The Searchers
The Godfather
Star Wars (1977)
Titanic
About that car with the XXX logo, I wonder if it's like here in Peru, where a pop culture decal (like the Thundercats logo, Batsymbol, etc.) may mean they have some sort protection by a local mafia.
No
sounds like a Patreon stretch goal. Flying Siddhant's father over to meet Patricks Partents.
Speed Racer 8x
You can always do Better Call Saul Jr
BTW, each 'half' of a cricket match is called an innings like in baseball and you've never had an iced coffee? Shot of espresso, milk with a scoop of ice cream for sweetness. Awesome on a hot day.
El Camino Jr?
If I had to pick 8 movies for somebody to be introduced to Hollywood movies, I would probably try to suggest the following:
1. A Trip To The Moon (for the silent era)
2. Citizen Kane
3. Jaws
4. Star Wars
5. Back to the Future
6. Jurassic Park
7. Lord of the Rings Trilogy
8. The Avengers trilogy
I realize that this list is focused mostly on the big movie from the early silent era to nowadays. These are movies that I think were huge cultural milestones for general pop culture and how movies had evolved. I didn't include animation in this despite it also being a revolutionary cinematic artform.
8 American films is a tough task but I’d probably go with somthing like;
City Lights
Casablanca
Psycho
Jaws
The Breakfast Club
Pulp Fiction
The Matrix
Spider-Man
17:52
The list of American movies id show as an intro
Merrily we go to hell
Wizard of oz
It’s a wonderful life
The searchers
The graduate
The princess bride
Jurassic park
Blakkklansman
Trying to cover a wide range of topics, great American directors and cultural touchstones and movies I actually like. If I got a dozen id add
Trip to the moon
The thing
Friday
Coraline
And even then id beg them to watch it happened one night and citizen Kane on their own
I was so excited to see Patrick reply to my comment. I also want to thank everyone who gave their input on what their list would be. I realized I forgot to make a list of my own. Mine would be
1. The General (because Buster Keaton is the GOAT).
2. Snow White (the birth of feature animation in America).
3. Citizen Kane (nuf said).
4. Singing in the Rain (you got to have a musical on this list and this one has the bonus of showing a transitional moment in Hollywood history).
5. Psycho (not only inspired modern horror, but the marketing was revolutionary for the time).
6. The Godfather (nuf said).
7. Batman 89 (while Superman was the first modern superhero movie, I would argue Batmania was bigger than Star Wars mania at the time; also Danny Elfman).
8. Attack of the Clones (I know this one sounds crazy, but hear me out: it's the first mainstream digital Blockbuster; while I recognize the merits of film over digital, the switch to digital lead to the digital cinema home market which I would argue had done more to democratize individual filmakers than anything else. If film had stayed the norm, RUclips videos would probably still look like they came out in 2007).
I you gotta include _Jaws._
cricket is a far superior game to baseball because you get to drop the ball on the deck when bowling. This adds a dimension that's not in baseball.
great work in the video!!
Cold coffee isn't a thing outside India? Coffee is too bitter for me so I prefer the sweetness of cold coffee on a summer day (i live in the UK)
Emma, is there a list of patreon goals somewhere? I can't find it. Do you have to be a patron?
In Japan you can visit the grave of Ozu like Mark Cousins in The Story of Film docuseries. Btw - have you seen his docs and would like your take. Plenty of African, Middle Eastern, Euro and US films in his work. Cheers from Tasmania.
I’m in this!!! At 5:11!!
Eight films to encapsulate American cinema:
Revenge of the Ninja
Ninja III: The Domination
Miami Connection
American Ninja II: The Confrontation
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
3 Ninjas
Ninja Assassin
Ninja: Shadow of a Tear
“I Went To Japan To Learn About Toho”
Have you seen 12th Fail? Great film.
Also, my picks for 20th Century American Film Canon for N00bs:
1910s and 1920s I won’t include, because I haven’t watched anything from those decades (that I’m aware of).
1930s: The Wizard of Oz
1940s: Fantasia
1950s: Gentlemen Prefer Blondes
1960s: Planet of the Apes
1970s: Star Wars: A New Hope
1980s: Back to the Future & Batman
1990s: Jumanji
1) The Great Dictator 2) Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs 3) High Noon 4) Signing in the Rain {so people get a history of American Silent Film era} 5) Star Wars: New Hope 6) Halloween 7) Jurassic Park 8) Iron Man
LISTEN. I just love the Doors movie and never hear anyone talk about it. If Emma wants to talk about Kilms I wanna hear about it
Emma and Nobbles Kilm Theatre?!
You want to see more films from different corners of the world? Get yourself invited to the International Film Festival Rotterdam at the end of January! Two weeks packed with all kinds of films from every continent. I volunteer there and would love to greet you at one of our venues!
COLD COFFEE LOVE YESSSS
Oppenheimer will be 3 hrs long too
Satyajit Ray’s movie inspiring ET always felt unlikely to me. Spielberg was far too young to have even known what that script was.
did the bollywood video spark a desire to start a channel or new travel/food vlog miniseries?
my only opinion is East Asian film has enough hype - I don't need to hear what western critics have already said. Explore cinema that doesn't get much recognition or hype in the west, like Indian Cinema for one is quite refreshing.
That look when Patrick says "tax write-off"... lol!
Like when a child finds a stray twenty dollar bill on the sidewalk
20:07 For me, it would have to be Studio Ghibli.
I was not expecting to hear my username in this video.
8 films for an intro to American Cinema?
The General
Gold Diggers of 1933
Best Years of Our Lives
The Killing
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
Dawn of the Dead
Do the Right Thing
The Big Lebowski
Please visit AVM studio in Chennai
Better Call Saul Jr.
In terms of Indian film viewing, Japan’s presence has been increasing in this past decade or so. RRR became the highest grossing Indian film EVER by a margin over here!
Theaters has been eager to pick up indian blockbusters and a lot of them even offer “masala showings” allowing customers to cheer like concerts… i theorize the reason why Indian cinema is successful here is because of the audience figures heavily skewing towards female, and they tend to spend way more money in theaters than male audiences
Edit: Patrick, your pronunciation of Iwate prefecture is not wrong! If you need some fan assisting your Ghibli/Japan trip, I could be your guide
Better call Saul Jr.
❤❤ ❤
10:30
The Wizard of Oz
Citizen Kane
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
Jaws
The Breakfast Club

Also, Chicken Tikka masala is not desi food.
It is
@@TingTong2568 Chicken Tikka is a type of barbecue chicken. It is not supposed to have a gravy.
Oh setting a delayed fire is really easy you just need to [COMMUNITY STANDARDS VIOLATION] then leave it there and make sure no one saw you. Also it doesn’t have to be a coconut, but it helps if it is.
Maltese falcon
Modern Times
Citizen Kane
The Searchers
Psycho
Taxi Driver
Raiders of the Lost Arc
Titanic
Get Out
Sherlock Jr gang iktr
Patrick pronounces a lot of stuff wrong still. He says Tamil and Telugu with a hard T.
“Baseball…a better game”
Truer words have not been spoken 🇺🇸
E.T.? Really?
I was also surprised by that choice, given that Patrick is such a big 'Home Alone' fan, I thought 'Home Alone' would easily make the cut.
You need a Spielberg movie on there and that was one of highest grossing and influential films
