      Wait no that doesn't make any sense.
      Movies don't pick, they're not sentient. This doesn't even sound like some philosophical idea, it's just nonsense.
      Maybe James means when you think about your favorite movies the best one "sticks with you" which I kinda understand. But in truth it's more like which one do you stick to more?
      So this saying is not very clever.

      This is part of what made the golden era of the Simpsons so great, they referenced timeless classics instead of whatever was popular at the time. They also integrated them so well you could still enjoy the joke even if you didn't know the reference.

    I don't necessarily have one favorite film, but King Kong is probably the most important film to me creatively. Saw it at just the right age, got me into sculpture, stop motion, Ray Harryhausen's work, special effects, and an appreciate for the art of filmmaking. Simply a magical film.

    There is no other internet personality I have stuck with for so long, I have been watching you for over 10 years now. I think this is because not only do you have variety in the content you create, gaming, films, books etc but your tastes are so similar to mine. There are so many films in this list that would be in my top 50, 3 out of your top 5 are also in mine. These are some of the reasons why you've always been such an inspiration of mine, would love to meet you one day. Cheers James.

      I don't even think that's the reason. I don't play games, and I'm not that big of a movie guy... But neither one of those factors prevent me to enjoy thoroughly everything this guy does. I'd guess that we all keep coming back to James because it's crystal clear, for all of us, that everything he makes is absolutely driven by the love he has for what he does. Anyway, that would be my theory.

    • @ruekurei88
      @ruekurei88 7 лет назад +12

      I agree, in some parts it doesn't hold up though. But the thing with films today I can always know when something is CG, it's not the look really, it's the animation. The stilted animation of the animatronics actually work in JP's favour whereas animators go too overboard when they animate creatures sometimes.

    • @Beastofdestruct
      @Beastofdestruct 7 лет назад +9

      '...still better than most effects you see today..."

    One thing I love about these sorts of lists is being able to see how diverse we all are. You get to see where you are similar but also different to others and that's really interesting to me. For example, I love North by Northwest and Rear Window and I was happy to see them both in this top 25 but I was also quite surprised to see Sword in the Stone on here, which I rarely hear mentioned, and am honestly not all that fond of. It's fascinating to see how someone else views cinema, how they've been influenced by it, their tastes and all that.

      +Jordan Shaw, Grown Ups 2 is da best movie I've evr sen in ma lyfe. Its a cultural phenomenon that changes the way you see reality while also being an entertaining movie for the whole family. Adam Sandler is a comedic genius whose films rival those of Orson Welles and Stanley Kubrick. Sure critics thought it was low brow and panned it but only because they didn't understand the subtle nuances of Sandler's auteur style. Fuck The Godfather, fuck Star Wars, fuck Pulp Fiction; Grown Ups 2 is the best movie of all time.

    I could see comparisons between you're comment about how CGI in Terminator 2 was the latest technology when it was released and The Wizard Of Oz. When I watch The Wizard Of Oz I have this strange feeling of almost being transported back in time and being amazed with colour film being the latest technology when it was made in the thirties,a technology that is taken for granted today by filmgoers.

    I think T2 jumped ahead, and then JP took it another level - so I say both of them should share in the overall jump. One really proved a photoreal thing could be done, and then the other showed it could be done with things that look like living creatures.

    Thanks for sharing your favorite films with us, James. They are all classics and some I need to get reacquainted with. Also, I know just what you mean about "Jaws" being a "dad film". My dad loves to go fishing as well.

    I think this is a particularly solid list. I watch "top" lists a lot and some seem like they're built for the audience, but this one seems genuine. Glad Alien was at least a runner-up.

    You're wrong about the advances of special effects. 'The Abyss' and 'Terminator 2' were huge leaps. 'The Matrix' was a huge leap. 'Spiderman' was a huge leap. 'The Lord Of The Rings' was a huge leap. 'Jurassic Park' was just the biggest because it doesn't get bigger than dinosaurs, unless you depict seas, mountains and skys as characters as more than background.
    That was a very interesting mini-analysis of the confrontations between Batman and Joker in 'Batman'. I never noticed them.

    I like that you picked "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" as your #1 pick. It may not be my favorite but certainly one of my favorite comedies and you described its philosophical tone perfectly. And I totally agree with your favorite scene, the Jonathan Winters rampage! May be the funniest scene ever in all of filmdom!
