Haven't really seen much footage of this guy in real life. He always plays such intimidating characters that its almost uncanny seeing him be all chill and soft-spoken.
Probably one of most intimidating actors ever. Intimidating on screen but super friendly in real life. There is something unique, mysterious and sometimes damn scary about his acting.
I once resided in the same Brooklyn neighborhood he did (and perhaps still does). All of the local shop proprietors/employees I knew who had encountered or had spoken with Mr. Shannon said the same thing about him: He was down-to-earth, very nice, easygoing, and nothing like some of the characters he's most famous for.
He has that old Hollywood feel to him. Like he could’ve played a man of the law in a 40s noir film, or been a successful character actor in the 1950s that had an underrated 60s run. What an actor
Funny you mention this. Have you seen The Boardwalk Empire series? He plays a very intimidating and motivated law man during the 1920s in the first season, and he couldn’t be anymore perfect for it!
Funny thought: he could play an outlaw of the 40s who becomes a man of the law in the 50s and the movie jumps back and forth between decades to see how he got from one to the other. I think that'd be a damn good movie Jeff Nichols could make.
Damn, imagine if he starred in a season of True Detective set in the 40s. One of my favorite actors ever.... Take Shelter is an incredible performance. Perhaps his best.
he was good in it but i thought it was funny that it was basically a copy-paste of one of the Iceman documentaries with nothing new added, kinda like 'My Friend Dahmer'
"God bless, God for making Peter Sellers." -Michael Shannon It's great to see everyone from all generations coming into the Criterion closet and seeing their tastes. The beauty of it all is knowing they're the ones who understand you when majority of people don't, especially when it comes to film history. Excellent picks!
Michael Shannon is a certified 🐐 . "Take Shelter" was like driving a bulldozer into my brain and excavating my soul. Truly worthy of boundless recognition and praise.
I wonder if Michael Shannon's intense performances of characters barely suppressing a dangerous rage and even a slight physical resemblance reminded Herzog of his work with Klaus Kinski. And then finding out that Michael, unlike Klaus, is NOT a psychopath off camera, would be the cherry on top.
Holy hell, I never saw that quote. Coming from one of the greatest directors of our generation that’s…wild. Herzog and Shannon would be an incredible team.
Such a genuine man, doesn’t put on airs or come across as egotistical whatsoever. They don’t make em like Shannon anymore. Love his love of great cinema and trying something new
Michael Shannon is like that wise uncle that's done it all and been through it all, a little off, a little out there, but always dropping gems. Would love to sit and have a beer with this man!
Gosh he seems like such a wonderful man. So talented yet seems so humble. The way he speaks so delicately and carefully about these films just makes him that much more awesome to me.
He's one of those actors where I will check out any movie that he's in simply because he's in it. He usually has solid choices and his performances are always on point. I have to say, his choices and videos were very close to mine. Being there is one of my favorite funny movies with Peter Sellers
"Seconds" is an often overlooked work of inarguable genius and I feel very happy for Mr. Shannon's discovery there. (With the great James Wong Howe behind the lense, you're always in for something special).
I can't explain it but there's something very genuine and down to earth feeling about him choosing a horse-drawn carriage over an internal combustion engine car. 😊
The Elephant Man is one of those movies that every time I revisit it years after my last viewing it blows me away even more. I mean, there's whole scenes where he either doesn't speak, or just barely speaks in whispers, and using only his eyes to act has 100 percent of your attention in an iron grip that's not letting you go until that scene is over. Unreal.
Michael Shannon is one of the greatest actors working today, and perhaps the greatest that is currently still underrated. Seriously. This guy deserves to win a couple more Oscars, I'll definitely be praying for him any time he pops up in a movie. I mean he basically steals Nocturnal Animals and that cast was already stacked, Revolutionary Road gave me chills. He elevated a comic book film with Man of Steel into legend status imho. Give this man his flowers while he's still here!
LOVE Michael. When he’s on screen he just dominates it. “MIDNIGHT SPECIAL” , great movie and you can’t take your eyes off him. Btw, his comments about John Hurt..couldn’t agree more. Superb choices off the shelf 👍
Joel Edgerton rocked it in Midnight Special, then again in Loving. Shannon was aces in Nichols’ first two films, but both he and Edgerton were upstaged by that young man playing Alton.
Great actor and, from what I hear, a great dude! I have friends in the industry who've worked with him and he's very well-liked... another great addition to the Closet collection.
I full on gasped at seeing that he finally did a criterion closet video. He will go down in history as one of the best actors - every time he absolutely aces it.
I feel lucky to exist in a time when I get to watch Michael Shannon perform. I've seen a lot of his picks, and I'll be sure to see the others I haven't, because this man puts on some resonant and profound performances and I have to see where that inspiration comes from!
He's just chillin'. He's enthusiastic, but he doesn't just grab every other movie off the shelf and toss it in his bag... he's choosy, not greedy, and that's great.
His joy is OUR joy. He has an appreciation for the classics and I love that he likes black-and-white film photography. This man is a treasure and there are some films of Shannon's that I am dying to see in the Collection someday!
Five Easy Pieces is my favourite Nicholson performance... Shiver ran down my spine when he picked that! It's a performance, and a time, I think of quite often even now, 20 odd years since watching it for the first time. I have an old copy of it on DVD but I really want the bluray cover as a poster. That performance alone elevated Nicholson on another level above the likes of Pacino and Deniro.
Shannon's performance in Take Shelter is one of the very best I've seen in the last 25 years. Every tick, wince, shrug, or blink so beautifully nuanced and accurately conveying his emotions that it's an astounding portrayl of a man questioning his own sanity.
Shannon is a stud! Love some of the roles he's played, especially in 'Take Shelter' and 'The Iceman.' It's always interesting to listen to some of the actors you respect give some of their insights into film and filmmaking! Also, you can tell Shannon is someone who has a tragic sense of the world and man's role in it! He'd be great to kick-back with, have some good homemade beers, and discuss everything under-the-sun!
This man is everything he said nice about these movies and or actors times 10. Its sad he doesn't realize how good he is. His performance in pearl harbor and BUG were enough to warn anyone what this man is capable of. His demeanor is that of bored because he can be anything at anytime he wants. A true masterpiece and also i forgot because i cant bring myself to watch it again. If you watch REVOLUTIONARY ROAD, you will understand how he needs very little screen time to leave such a massive impact. Deranged, intriguing, thought provoking.
I actually just finished two nights ago "Take Shelter" Really solid acting by Shannon. Highly reccomend. Gave me great Bug vibes as well as Stir of Echo's. Shannon is one of my favorite actors.
*Years ago I saw a pretty crappy comedy film called 'Lets go to prison' but one character in the film called 'Leonard' REALLY stood out and I told my friends 'this actor is going to be huge'
Such an amazing Actor. When I saw him in Bug I just knew his star was on the rise.....also love him in Nocturnal Animals. Really anything he does turns to gold, even a comic character like Zod.
Apparently he ad-libbed the line "I am not eating ONE IOTA of shit!" in KNIVES OUT. Apparently Chris Evans' cracking up isn't acting, it's him actually losing it to Shannon's delivery both on and off camera.
Yes he kind of became typecast after Man of Steel and Iceman. He was funny in The Night Before that Seth Rogan comedy. Shannon played a cool pot dealer. He had some decent screen time in that he was significant to the overall plot.
This needed to be way longer! Don't think I've ever gotten to see MS in everyday life situation. Loved listening to him talk, a real pleasure & honour. Thank-you.
Shannon has excellent taste. "Five Easy Pieces" in particular is a film that touched me to my core. It'd be fun to hang out with this great American actor and talk about these titles.
Such a talented actor, Take Shelter is an excellent movie of his. His portrayal of General Zod was intimidating, I can’t believe he was in Groundhog Day
What a perfect talent. Relatable as hell, and humble as ever, Michael Shannon needs the recognition he deserves. One of the next greats who is already magnificent.
One-of-a-kind of charisma. Every time Michael Shannon is on screen, I notice how my attention is focused on him. He would have been perfect In many great films of the past.
I'm not shocked to see his preferences for Ashby and Rafelson. He's always struck me as an actor whose spirit belonged in the '70s. He would have been a God back then.
Being There is one of the greatest films of all time. All of Michael's picks are my faves. Awesome actor and down to earth guy. One day I hope another actor will say, "Thank God for making Michael Shannon."
"This makes up for all the Christmases where I didn't get much of anything"
Love this guy
🥲
That one kinda hurt to hear, but it was nice knowing he had it in him to appreciate where he is
His mom married 5 times probably a stressful childhood
that was incredibly sad.
@@aylemarshland5609 damn she ran through ☠️
Haven't really seen much footage of this guy in real life. He always plays such intimidating characters that its almost uncanny seeing him be all chill and soft-spoken.
If you really wanna delight, look up the stir crazy interview with him and Josh Horowitz - the man is UNHINGED
Most artists, artists,are shy
He was great in Knives Out, really. He had a somewhat smallish role in the film but was simply stellar.
There were flashes of this personality in "Knives out".
@@hossbeki9266 And yet Hollywood loves their hook ups and sex parties. Must be all the drugs and alcohol.
He sounds like he's in character for a yet to be released film.
“In the Movie Closet” is yet another incredible vehicle for Shannon’s intense presence on screen. 10/10
Live action Trevor from GTA V.
He's playing an over the hill surfer in a belated follow up to Point break.
@@MatiProbably only steven ogg himself could be live action trevor
Yeah, like a nice guy who's dangerous, no?
Probably one of most intimidating actors ever. Intimidating on screen but super friendly in real life. There is something unique, mysterious and sometimes damn scary about his acting.
His comic chops are completely underused. He was a surprise kick in the pants in THEY CAME TOGETHER.
“I WILL FIND HIM!”
- Sting
No, wait… - Michael Shannon
I once resided in the same Brooklyn neighborhood he did (and perhaps still does). All of the local shop proprietors/employees I knew who had encountered or had spoken with Mr. Shannon said the same thing about him: He was down-to-earth, very nice, easygoing, and nothing like some of the characters he's most famous for.
Classic & one of the few old school Alpha Males; love him.
M.Shannon was really good in the night before that movie with Seth Rogan where he played a cool pot dealer on Christmas Eve.
He has that old Hollywood feel to him. Like he could’ve played a man of the law in a 40s noir film, or been a successful character actor in the 1950s that had an underrated 60s run. What an actor
Boris Karloff.

Yeah The 1st G Man for J. Edgar Hoover 👊🤨
The way he slides the dvds into the bag, its like Michael Shannon is stealing the dvds☺
How sympathetic he is. I loved "The Iceman"
I was pleasantly surprised at how good that was. He even managed to out-menace Robert Davi, no small feat.
he was good in it but i thought it was funny that it was basically a copy-paste of one of the Iceman documentaries with nothing new added, kinda like 'My Friend Dahmer'
"God bless, God for making Peter Sellers." -Michael Shannon
It's great to see everyone from all generations coming into the Criterion closet and seeing their tastes. The beauty of it all is knowing they're the ones who understand you when majority of people don't, especially when it comes to film history.
Excellent picks!
That was... .....Absolutely Beautifully Stated.. .
Yes Ben..... One of my favorite films.
That's my favorite criterion closet quote yet.
Michael Shannon is so underrated. One of the few guys I will pick up a DVD just because he is in the film.
“they’re the ones who understand you when majority of people don’t” i don’t follow. you feel these celebrities understand you?
Michael Shannon is a certified 🐐 . "Take Shelter" was like driving a bulldozer into my brain and excavating my soul. Truly worthy of boundless recognition and praise.
Agreed, awesome movie
One of my favorite performances of all time.
Absolute gem of a film
Agreed. Love Take Shelter. Did Criterion release it?
iii was juuust thinking about that film three days ago
"God bless God for making Peter Sellers" is one of the best quotes ever 🤣
It didn't really work well for Sellers
@@marknewbold2583 "If you ask me to play myself, I will not know what to do. I do not know who or what I am" - Peter Sellers
@@Yavin4Michael Shannon will always be Agent Van Alden for me. Absolutely love that show-My favourite series of all time next to The Wire.
*unless you are his family
Werner Herzog called Michael Shannon the greatest of his generation....that's a heck of an endorsement and it is well deserved.
Oh yes, you should watch "My son, my son, what have ye done" !!
I bought the dvd and it was great !!
he’s a very lucky boy 👍
I wonder if Michael Shannon's intense performances of characters barely suppressing a dangerous rage and even a slight physical resemblance reminded Herzog of his work with Klaus Kinski. And then finding out that Michael, unlike Klaus, is NOT a psychopath off camera, would be the cherry on top.
Holy hell, I never saw that quote.
Coming from one of the greatest directors of our generation that’s…wild.
Herzog and Shannon would be an incredible team.
@@John-mf1sz
So, I repeat : watch "My son, my son, what have ye done"
Such a genuine man, doesn’t put on airs or come across as egotistical whatsoever. They don’t make em like Shannon anymore. Love his love of great cinema and trying something new
... something new, as long as it's in English language, made in the last few decades in the USA.
bro this guy is the king of putting on an air, it's like his whole thing
@@FredBloggsTheThird Yeah he totally skipped over early-twentieth-century Latvian films
He is a genuine psycho who wants 80 million people death, all right.
They don’t make ‘em like this actor anymore. Well said.
I love how often David Lynch films are spoken of or picked. Absolute art.
"I'm such a lucky boy."
The most calming and soothing thing I've ever seen. Shannon is a gift to humanity
One of the best actors on the planet.
And Only Seems to get Better as time goes on.. 👏👏👏
😁 📣 My day is made!
Love his reaction to finding 'Being There'
Nothing but respect for his roles in movies. And him picking the elephant man just makes him more respectable.
Game recognize game.
Hurt's eyes in The Elephant Man convey everything - it's a stunning performance.
how can you not love this guy? so insanely genuine
Michael Shannon is like that wise uncle that's done it all and been through it all, a little off, a little out there, but always dropping gems. Would love to sit and have a beer with this man!
Michael Shannon in Revolutionary Road...One of the great performances.
This might be my favorite closet video yet. Dude is just so genuine
Gosh he seems like such a wonderful man. So talented yet seems so humble. The way he speaks so delicately and carefully about these films just makes him that much more awesome to me.
Wishing death on millions of people is a trait of wonderful people?
He's one of those actors where I will check out any movie that he's in simply because he's in it. He usually has solid choices and his performances are always on point. I have to say, his choices and videos were very close to mine. Being there is one of my favorite funny movies with Peter Sellers
God bless God 😏
Down by Law
Being John Malkovich
Seconds
The Elephant Man
Being There
Five Easy Pieces
America Lost and Found: The BBS Story
😎
Thanks for the titles.
*returned the single copy of Five Easy Pieces because it's in BBS
Thank you!
Thank you!
"Seconds" is an often overlooked work of inarguable genius and I feel very happy for Mr. Shannon's discovery there. (With the great James Wong Howe behind the lense, you're always in for something special).
Michael Shannon is just a presence that we can´t ignore, for our good!
God bless him.
"God bless.. God, for making Peter Sellers".. hahah.. this was one of my favourite Closet videos
I cant explain it but there’s something very genuine and down to earth feeling about him choosing the DVDs over the blu-rays
Yeah I was screaming through the screen! Really tells you about a person.
He probably doesn’t own a Blu-ray player
He probably doesn't know what Blu-ray is.
Hello

I feel exactly same about John Hurt in The Elephant Man! I was CRYING watching that movie. It was incredible performance and movie!

Oof I love Michael Shannon but Man of Steel was fucking garbage. He and Henry were the only good part of that shitshow of a movie.
@I'm Fishdogpigsquirrel you are 100% right but he was so perfect as General Zod.
@@KevinGriffin-b2s They had perfect everything. They just fucked up when they hired Snyder.
Man of steel?? Legend??? 🤣🤣🤣
@@kyorikusagami84Nah it's a good movie
Holy joy and passion! His natural enthusiasm for those selections, says it all. Add to my shopping list!!
Hadn’t thought about till now but Shannon would be PERFECT in a Lynch project. Sad we’ve never seen that collaboration
Well, he did star in a project *produced* by Lynch and directed by Herzog :)
Who is this generations Lynch anyway?
@@RunningOnFull yes!! I love my son, my son 😂 just rewatched it a week ago

So modest too.

Loved him in Boardwalk Empire. Especially the first two seasons he really shined.

One of the greatest actor's in our generation. He's the genuine article.
'Elephant Man'. The movie you see once and never forget.
Five Easy Pieces is my favourite Nicholson performance... Shiver ran down my spine when he picked that! It's a performance, and a time, I think of quite often even now, 20 odd years since watching it for the first time. I have an old copy of it on DVD but I really want the bluray cover as a poster. That performance alone elevated Nicholson on another level above the likes of Pacino and Deniro.
Five Easy Pieces is a really great performance from him for sure, but I think my favorite of his is in The King of Marvin Gardens
Five Easy Pieces is one of my favorite films. Also love Jack in
"The Last Detail"
I loved Michael Shannon in The Iceman and Take Shelter.
Shannon's performance in Take Shelter is one of the very best I've seen in the last 25 years. Every tick, wince, shrug, or blink so beautifully nuanced and accurately conveying his emotions that it's an astounding portrayl of a man questioning his own sanity.
Five Easy Pieces. What a beautiful film.
Shannon is a stud! Love some of the roles he's played, especially in 'Take Shelter' and 'The Iceman.' It's always interesting to listen to some of the actors you respect give some of their insights into film and filmmaking! Also, you can tell Shannon is someone who has a tragic sense of the world and man's role in it! He'd be great to kick-back with, have some good homemade beers, and discuss everything under-the-sun!
I love Michael Shannon I could just listen to him talk all day
I love how Michael Shannon is so intimidating in every one of his movies but in real life he seems like the most approachable person ever
Michael is obviously a fantastic actor but i love how genuine he comes across in this. It's very endearing.
