G'day to you, I thank you for this,I am a 74 year Old Gentile, but have known Jewish People all my life,1955 was the first time, my Mother and Grand mother used to clean the local Rabbis House and I would go with them, I would get Beautiful Almond Cakes from the Rabbis Wife,I moved to Australia in the 60s and found that a lot of my Friends turned out to be of that Faith, I was invited to a Hanukkah one year where I met Several Beautiful Old Folk who all had numbers tattooed on their arm, I was so in awe of these folk ,what they went through, thank you once more for this my Friend! Perth West Aust.
Sounds like I'm in the right place! I studied the Yiddish language films of Joseph Green at university (in UK). I can't 100% confirm this, but I think they may be some of the only film images we have of Kasimierz in Poland before the Shoah. Yidl Mitn Fidl is still one of the most heart warming films I've ever seen ❤️
I'm not Jewish. But I love watching movies as windows to other culture and widen up my perspective. Also, among my favorite films are "Schindler's List", "Au Revoir Les Enfants", and "A Serious Man".. all revolving around Jewish topics.
Hello, a middle aged gay goy here who has always been drawn to Judaism. Here are three controversial picks for your consideration: Eyes Wide Open (2009); The Rabbi's Cat and, of course, Yentl. Please don't be offended by my picks, I love all the traditional favourites too!
I would love to watch your review of "A Price Above Rubies" with Rene Zellweger. I am particularly interested in the concept of art within and outside the Jewish culture. Thank you for your videos!
Are you going to do a piece about Crossing Delancey? It's one of my favourite movies of all time. I'm not Jewish, but I'd seriously consider it if I could have such a Bubbie to love me!!
Ideas of films to review 1. Chaim potack's the chosen 2. Menasha 3. A stranger amongst us (they all ask in different ways what it is to be a jew) And ofcourse the films where the clips come from (the jazz singer also has a color version and fiddler on the roof has a black and white version called grena felda)
OMG!!! The Chosen is coming up real soon! And here's a video about Jazz singer I put together for this past Yom Kippur. ruclips.net/video/PFb1KUdibnQ/видео.html
I LOVE Hester Street. Carol Kane is perfect in this role. Other films you should look for are "Yidl Mitn Fiddl" with Molly Picon. Look for "Mottel Mit Dem Paysl", and the Yiddish film "Tevye." Look for "A Brievele der Mamen." These are wonderful films. Do a compare/contrast between Tevye and "Fiddler on the Roof." I guarantee you that the movie "Tevye" will win hands-down, and if you want me to explain that point by point, please ask. (P.S. Hershel Bernardi plays Tzeitel's son in "Tevye." Tzeitel is widowed ... Bernardi must be 12 years old.) Good luck with your project. I look forward to hearing more.
It would be very interesting if you were to explain/analyze this movie: "Gentleman's Agreement" (1947) starring Gregory Peck. IMDB- A reporter pretends to be Jewish in order to cover a story on anti-Semitism, and personally discovers the true depths of bigotry and hatred.
Great! (although I will now receive חזרה בתשובה/Hazara be tshuva/repentance rabbinical ads and I'm an atheist jew). 2 movies I suggest: The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz and Shttl Thank you and עם ישראל חי !
Goy Boy here; Hebrew Hammer is still funny and A Serious Man is fantastic. Personally, when I think of Jewish movies my mind goes to A Serious Man, Borat, Girlfriends (1978), Munich, The Believer (2001) & Kenny vs Spenny. I honestly wouldn't have thought of Schindler's List as a Jewish movie, I think of Holocaust movies and Jewish movies as separate genres (even though they're obviously very intertwined. That's probably because I'm an outsider looking in.) Edit: also Uncut Gems is great.
I saw the Jewish hammer and loved it. Being a Jew who is NOT a Zionist I will stop watching your episode as soon as you mention Exodus or other Zionist films.

Blazing Saddles,
What About Bob,
Duck Soup:
Who else could make movies like that?

Please do Crossing Delancy.
Yesss! It's on the list
I loooove this idea !

I actually just watched Yentl for the first time this week! I can see why you like it... I will eventually get to these films too. Welcome 💛
I would love to watch your review of "A Price Above Rubies" with Rene Zellweger. I am particularly interested in the concept of art within and outside the Jewish culture. Thank you for your videos!
It's on the list! Art x Jewishness is def a topic worth exploring
Oliver ! Fagin is such a strong Jewish character. Reviewing the situation is a Jewish banger of a song.
Are you going to do a piece about Crossing Delancey? It's one of my favourite movies of all time. I'm not Jewish, but I'd seriously consider it if I could have such a Bubbie to love me!!
It's on the list! 📜
Great video
0:43 As an actor in Agent Emes, I appreciate this reference
There isn't enough kosher jewish movies
Woahhhh! A legend! Do tell what part .... please
@_yiddishkeit all I can say is that I was in one of them
Agent Emes, iykyk 🙌🏽🔥 but in my mind the most iconic Jewish movie of my childhood was the Disney Channel original movie Full Court Miracle
Only OG know! Just re watched the talking head episode for the new year. Also will check out the movie.

So, just Hollywood 2?
Not just Hollywood, but all types of movies about being Jewish
