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.
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 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!
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!
"...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!
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! 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.
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 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.
@@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.
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.
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!
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 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.
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!
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!
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.
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. Wish you all the best. @37:05 As soon as you said Boyhood, the music / song of its Honest Trailer played in my head. One of the best, and I rewatched loads of times
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.
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!!
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.
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!! This was kind of weirdly sad. I could track by the movies the years where I started really loving film and then the years where I started to no longer have the time to be as passionate about it. I love watching your videos because it’s really special to see someone so passionate and excited about storytelling. It a beautifully contagious feeling.
I was born in 1985. Was raised in Southern IL. Dan and I might as well be best friends as this list is composed of so many films that would be on my 40th birthday list (particularly Goldeneye and Glengarry Glen Ross). Happy Birthday Dan, and thank you for all of your hard work.
This was fantastic. I never comment Dan, but you are by far my favorite critical voice when it comes to movies. Happy birthday and thanks for all the great work!
Dan, this was a Lovely experience listening to you describing these films you fell in love with…excellent choices all of them…Thanks for trusting all of us to share this!
Happy birthday Dan! Growing up watching movie fights and everything put out by screen junkies really made a movie lover and I feel like I'll never lose that. You guys were the only ones talking about Sing Street and I am so happy to hear about it now. I think is the perfect coming of age story and I would have not discover it without you guys.
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.
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.

Similarly, albeit two years older. This video is a string of "ooooh *yes!* " moments one after the other. Happy birthday to all of us!

Being the same age as you, so many of these movies resonate with me. We grew up at a great time for movies.
Happy birthday Dan!
Growing up watching movie fights and everything put out by screen junkies really made a movie lover and I feel like I'll never lose that.
You guys were the only ones talking about Sing Street and I am so happy to hear about it now. I think is the perfect coming of age story and I would have not discover it without you guys.
Amazing video Dan! I watched Sing Street because of you, and now its one of my favorites! Thank You!
