40 Years, 40 Movies: My Life in Film
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 авг 2024
- I turn 40 today, and instead of spiraling into an existential crisis, I'm naming a movie (or two) from each year of my life that has special meaning to me. And also spiraling into an existential crisis.

Happy birthday. You made me care about box office. I never miss an episode of Charts with Dan. More life to you.
The literal best.
Same!
40 years, 40 films, 40+ minute video! Happy birthday, Dan!
What an amazing list. This would be very similar to my own. The fact that you took your love for film and have adapted it into a career is inspiring. Happy 40 Dan.
Completely agree. I need to figure out how to do this as well.
Happy Birthday Dan! I love you and all the passion and positivity you bring to the world and storytelling enthusiasts! I discovered you on Movie Fights close to a decade ago, and you were my fav person to watch back then even though I was a teenager who wasn't experienced enough in film and its history for a lot of your takes back then. But regardless, you pulled me in with your energy and enthusiasm.
My heart swells when you close out your videos with the little thumping over your heart. I may not really know you, and you definitely don't know who I am, but this 26 year old dubs thee her favourite "geriatric millennial".
Happy Birthday!
Thanks so much for the very kind words and for watching for so many years!
I loved this video, Dan. Your enthusiasm for film is so contagious. I wrote down about 5 movies from this list that I haven't seen yet and am looking forward to watching them someday.
Happy birthday, Schmoedown/ Screen Junkies/ Fandom GOAT! Thank you for the years of movie nerd content 🎬🎞📽📼
"...it sparked a curiosity in me that I still have to this day." Cut to Jessica Rabbit saying, "I'm not bad, I'm just drawn this way." Nice editing there. But seriously, I'm only 1 year younger than you, Dan, and I'm still kinda surprised how many movies you chose I would choose too for the same reasons. Happy Birthday!
Similarly, albeit two years older. This video is a string of "ooooh *yes!* " moments one after the other. Happy birthday to all of us!
Well done, Dan. There are only 3 that you mentioned that I haven't seen, but probably 5-6 that I've seen BECAUSE you recommended them over the years. You continue to be my favorite movie critic. Happy Birthday!
Happy birthday fellow Capricorn! 🎉
Happy Birthday Dan! Thanks for all the videos, best wishes from Sweden.
Happy Birthday! It’s important to celebrate and acknowledge the milestone birthdays, but every other year you can be 21 and ‘some’ months if you want. The forties are a good decade, though.
Happy Birthday, Dan. Like most of us here I met you at SJ. From all the many great people there, to me you were the heart of the channel. Loved everytime you were on MovieFights, always bringing great picks and great arguments. I think the work you do covering the various facets of the entertainment business is remarkable, especially on the box office. In an age of so much desinformation and confusion, we have to support those committed with facts and context, who elevates the discourse and helps record history in a more intelligent way. Adding Dick Tracy, Shattered Glass and That Thing You Do to my watchlist, and cueing in Glengarry Glen Ross. Thanks, man!
Happy Birthday to Dan, the nicest movie pundit on RUclips.
Happy Birthday!! Thanks for this present!
Happy Birthday Dan!
And as always thank you so very much for the videos.
Happy Birthday Dan!!! Always appreciate your work both before and after debuting with your channel. You always come away with an honest and thoughtful love of movies that’s infectious. Your list now makes me want to check out some of the films highlighted there for 2023 and beyond.
Happy Birthday Dan! Life is definitely short a few months after I turned 40 I was diagnosed for Testicular Cancer. I had successful surgery and have the all clear so definitely take care of yourself!
I have few movies I've never seen off your list that I will definitely be checking out soon.
Glad for your healing ❤️
@@heatheraggus7501 Thanks! A close friend of mine was diagnosed with Breast Cancer 5 years ago so we are both I. Agreement that the PSA's to do self exams likely saved both our lives, or limited the spread.
I LOVE Shattered Glass! It's such an underrated movie that nobody ever talks about! As a journalist myself, I've always been a fan of it. My high school journalism teacher showed it to us in class, and one of my journalism professors showed it to my class in college. Happy Birthday Dan!
heeeey!!! Happy Birthday Dan!!!!!!!!!! I wish you a lifetime of hapiness!!! I hope you accomplish all your projects for this year!!! Keep entertaining us with your movie reviews and thanks for sharing this movie love experience with us!!! God bless you!!! Enjoy your day, movie fights champ!
Happy BIRTHDAY 🥳..thanks for all the knowledge 🤪
Happy Birthday Dan! I love how you talk about movies.
Happy Birthday Dan! Enjoy your day!
You’ve inspired me. I turn 50 this year and so I think I’ll do a list of 50 on my podcast 👍🏻
Happy Birthday dude, thanks for the videos over the years
Happy Birthday, fellow '83 baby!
This is hands down one of my favorite videos of yours Dan, just wanna wish you a Happy Birthday! Really appreciate every charts with Dan video you do, they’re fucking great! 🍾🎂🎉🎊🎈🎁 Hope you had an awesome day
As an '82 baby, our lists would overlap significantly! Makes me all the happier your channel is out there. A very happy birthday to you and I wish you the best for the year ahead.
Happy birthday brother. I turn 31 this Sunday. I loved this exercise and you've inspired me to take time this weekend to do my own retrospective. We share a lot of the same films that impacted us. Alot of it can come down to them hitting just at the right time.
My family brought me to see There Will Be Blood on my 16th birthday. That's a prime example. They were very confused and perhaps concerned that was how I wanted to spend my day but it definitely was a turning point on how I viewed film.
Happy birthday Mr.Murrell , from🇸🇦🫶🏻
Happy birthday Dan!!!
I'm only a few months younger than you and I love that almost all the movies you picked between '83 and '94 are the same ones I would have picked. My earliest memory of watching a movie in the theater was Who Framed Roger Rabbit
Great movies for a milestone bday. Happy birthday Dan 🎉🎉
Happy birthday. Great idea for a video
Happy Birthday to my fave RUclipsr and the Best Media Reviewer in the world!!!
Happy birthday, Dan!
Aye, happy birthday Dan!!! Best film guy on RUclips🎉
Happy Birthday Dan!!
This is my favorite video of yours of all time. Been with you since ScreenJunkies and came over when you started this channel.
I was born in 1984 and we could nearly copy and paste all the films you love until 1996.
There are a few years where I had another big impact on me: (Casino, moonlights, Batman Begins, Inception, EEAO)
Overall though, I will literally use the first half of this video to show my son when he comes of age to see what made his dad fall in love with film.
I follow a number of critics (some you’ve podcasted with) but I 100% share film DNA the most with you.
Keep up the work.
I tell people “I loved movies before it, but Jurassic Park is truly the film that sparked the fire for me”.
❤
Happy Birthday, Dan!
Happy birthday. Never knew you and I were so close in age. I also turn 40 this year. I have also been a movie fan my whole life but funny how we think differently about the movies that impacted us the most. You have lots of critically acclaimed movies in the last 20 years and I would have not so critically acclaimed movies. That just says a lot about you have an critic minded film fan and me as a what I enjoy no matter how dumb it may be fan. I think alot of people will agree with you if they have seen the movies. I am excited to discover so many of these films that I’ve never seen from your list. Great job as always and I’ll be watching you til we’re eighty for sure (sounds like a stalker. Not that kind of watching)
Happy Birthday Dan! My 40th is tomorrow. Hope youve been having a great day!
Happy birthday! I turn 40 in a few months and agree with much of this list. Jurassic Park was life-changing. I watched the show Movie Magic every week to see how these movies were being made.
Happy birthday Dan!!! As someone whose never met you in person, You've still been able to supply me with laughs, great insight, and genuine optimism. I hope you and Mara have a wonderful day!!
Botanicus!!
@@heatheraggus7501 #owlnation as well
Happy birthday Dan! 🎂 🥳 wishing you all the best bro
Happy Birthday Dan! 🎉
I'm five years older than you but these movies are all the most impactful for me, too. The 90's were a golden age where indie cinema met blockbuster productions, animation, and a beautiful mix of edgy but sincere storytelling. We were lucky to grow up then. Extra points for mentioning "Shattered Glass," a staple of the journalism class I tought in the early OOs
Happy Birthday Dan, Wishing You All The Love, Happiness, Peace & Prosperity in Your Life Ahead. I Pray You Get More & More Success Every Year & Keep Loving Movies Till The End. Once Again Wish You Amazing Happy Birthday.
First of all, Happy birthday Dan. Secondly, I hope you realize that you are the best movie RUclipsr to ever Grace the platform. I could listen for hours and I have listen to you talk about movies. Don’t ever stop doing what you love Dan the man.
The alien appearing in the alleyway covers me with goosebumps every time I see it.
Happy Birthday Dan!! What a cool idea for a video…. 26 doesn’t quite have the same ring for this year
Happy, happy birthday and thank you so much Dan! This list made me realize how many movies you have actually been responsible for making me watch and I will appreciate it forever! You have indirectly affected my life in so many ways. Thank you!
Happy Birthday Dan! This list is great, thank you for sharing. Also I cannot believe you picked That Thing you Do for one of your fave movies. It’s such an underrated movie, it’s sweet and without any malice, plus the song will stay with you forever. “You are my biggest fan” lol
Happy birthday, fellow Earth sign ❤️ Great video concept. I'm excited to dig into this!
Edit: Ferris Bueller over Aliens? I adore Ferris, but Aliens is so incredible ❤️ Both had big impacts on me, so I would tie them if I did my own video.
Dan really does have peak Earth sign energy 😂
Happy Birthday!!! Dan!
Happy birthday Dan!!!!
Happy birthday, Dan! I got my wife to watch Shattered Glass yesterday and she loved it. Thanks for reminding us what a great film it is!
Dan this made me watch “GlennGarry Glenn Ross” for the first time. Wow. The fact that Jack Lemon didn’t win an Oscar let alone be nominated is absolutely mind boggling. Hope you had an amazing birthday!
Happy Birthday Legend! 🎉

Happy Birthday Dan
So in a month from now. I'll be turning 42. And yes I have seen alot of these movies myself. I would have to say T2 is definitely my favorite when I turned 10 back in 1991.
Happy Birthday Dan the man
Happy Birthday Dan!
Happy Birthday Dan!! 🎂
Happy Birthday Dan!!!!
Happy birthday Dan!
Great video Dan. As someone who turned 40 last year, we pretty much grew up together and nearly every film on this list is what I would also have on mine. The biggest difference would be 1995 - Goldeneye and Toy Story are great, but since this is about films that made an impact then Apollo 13 is the movie that [the very next day] got me to pick out every book I could find in the library about space and space exploration and put me on a path to a career as a planetary scientist.
Great idea. I'm also a big movie addict, and I'll be turning 40 in a year. Your video is inspiring and I'll be following your lead and make my own 40-movie DNA. Happy Birthday Dan
Happy Birthday Dan🎂🎉
This is an awesome idea for a video, might have to steal it for my 30th down the road in September haha! Happy Birthday!!
Happy Birthday, Dan!! Welcome to the 40 club (I just joined in December).
Happy birthday Dan!!! You’re still very young dear don’t let growing older get you down.
19:07 this movie FUCKED ME UP as a kid! That ending still stays with me all these years later.
I just turned 40, too (a couple weeks ago)! I largely agree/had similar experiences with the impact the films (especially 80's to early 90's) had on your life, love, and curiosity of film making .
Great video! Fellow ‘83 kid here and I totally appreciate this video and your channel
YOU HAD ME WHEN YU SAID "THAT THING YOU DO". ONE OF MY FAVORITE FILMS
Happy 40th, Dan!
imagine how genx, i swear people forget about us, felt about return of the jedi when it was released. happy birthday, your millennial you.
The happiest of happy birthdays to you Dan! I'll be turning 40 this year too. Wishing you all the best. Love your content!
Best of the best. Happy Birthday Dan! My spiritual brother for love of movies.
Thank you for mentioning signs. That truly is one of my favs and most influential movies of my life as well!
Great video, Dan! It’s so interesting to see your life through movies. I love these picks! And happiest 40th birthday. You’re not only a great film reviewer, but also a really nice guy. I met you at a live Schmoedown, and you were so friendly and even let me hold the belt. I’ll never forget that. I look forward to a new year of seeing more of your great content. 😊
Happy 40th Birthday Dan
HAPPY BIRTHDAY 40TH DAN!!! love watching ur videos :) bring it on! hope you will continue been on youtube for the next 40 years :)
Wow! This was so fun and insightful and interesting and unexpected and even challenging. You asked, so I'll say that I'm almost 13 years (12 years, 11 months and a few days if I want to be weirdly precise 😃 ) older than you. Even so, there was some overlap (Toy Story, Ferris Bueller, Back to the Future, Lord of the Rings), but for different reasons. Probably because I was at a different stage in life.....and I never 'felt' movies like you did/do. In fact I didn't think about them with much depth (with a few exceptions), until I discovered your channel because of your Artemis Fowl review. Now I rarely miss a video. And I tell my friends I have a 'movie guy' or 'my movie guy says'. ( we watched Glass Onion based on your recommendation.) Something else I tell my friends on their birthdays is "I'm glad you got born today". Let me say that to you a day late. "I'm glad you got born (yesterday)." Happy Birthday. Happy New Year and many many more of both of those!
Dan, you are such a gift to cinephiles everywhere. Happy Birthday man, I’m such a fan ❤
Being the same age as you, so many of these movies resonate with me. We grew up at a great time for movies.
Dan, I’m 364 days older than you as my 41st is tomorrow. Happy birthday, and great picks! Cheers.
Happy Birthday old man! I'm right there behind you in July. 83 really was the year of greats! Hope you had a great day, a wonderful year, and decades more to enjoy the art form of film.
Happy Birthday! I always liked the quote “40 is the old age of youth and 50 is the youth of old age”. 👍🏻
Happy Birthday. I was also born in 1983.
Happy birthday! Don't believe the hype, your forties will be awesome. I just passed the halfway mark and I'm loving it.
Really enjoyed this video. As it happens, I was born ten years before you. So many of your picks were films that I got to see when they first opened, whereas you had to catch up with them much later on. I was very big on "Ghostbusters" and "Roger Rabbit" at the time, though I've developed different favorites since then, so my list would include less kid-friendly stuff.
I also took time in 2013 to get caught up on 1973 films. That was a pretty extraordinary year, although I'm sure that it had its share of bad films as well!
Here's a few of my lifetime favorites:
1973 - Serpico. Al Pacino is a New York cop trying to NOT take money from everyone offering. The other cops don't like this.
1977 - Star Wars: A New Hope. It couldn't be anything else.
1978 - Superman. Christopher Reeve will always be my Superman, no matter how good the new guys are.
1981 - Raiders Of The Lost Ark. I was only eight when this movie first came out, too young for all the violence. Instead, I had friends over for my birthday later on and we watched it together. They had all seen it already, and we had a blast.
1985 - Back To The Future. So somebody sat down and figured out all the ins and outs of this story, and that person is called a "screenwriter". Minute for minute, one of the most entertaining movies I've ever seen.
1986 - The Fly. Along with the original "Terminator" movie, I developed an affection for the "tragic sci-fi romance" (a sub-sub-genre with only a few films to its name). There's something about a doomed couple trapped in an unimaginable predicament that appeals to me.
1989 - Roger & Me. Michael Moore's first film really shook up my idea of what a documentary could be.
1990 - Goodfellas. Still my number-one favorite film of all time.
1992 - Reservoir Dogs. Quentin Tarantino has enjoyed his status as one my all-time favorite filmmakers ever since, and one of the few directors whose every single movie I've seen in a theater.
1995 - Seven. Seeing this on opening weekend was a devastating experience. I couldn't move from my seat even after the credits were finished. Probably the most memorable cinema event of my life.
2000 - Time Code. This odd ensemble comedy has been an obsession of mine ever since I went to see it three times. Must be seen on the largest screen you can find, since it's essentially four movies running simultaneously.
2005 - Batman Begins. At 32, I didn't expect to like a comic book movie this much. But it was the Batman movie I had waited all my life to see without realizing it. Finally, the story was about Bruce Wayne first and foremost.
2006 - United 93. Paul Greengrass' docudrama about the hijackings is noteworthy for its complete lack of "extra stuff"...unnecessary dramatizations of the characters' lives, just intense focus on the dire situation at hand. One of the greatest films ever made, IMO.
2010 - Inception. My jaw was hanging open during some of the sequences. "Who thinks up stuff like this?" I thought several times.
2016 - Captain America: Civil War. My favorite MCU movie. The interpersonal conflict between the heroes was quite the nail-biter...Definitely the most compelling, dramatically speaking.
2020 - I'm pleased to see that you liked "Promising Young Woman" as much as I did.
2022 - Ditto "Tár".
Happy Birthday, Champ!
Happy Birthday Dan! I’ve been a fan of yours since the screen junkie days and I’ll also be turning 40 next week. Thanks for adding to my movie lover experience with all that you do.
