WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THE ELVIS MOVIE REVIEW LMAOOO
finally, thank you! I literally screamed after his words
I LITERALLY CAME HERE TO COMMENT THIS OMG
So cute the way he said it lol
i was thinking the same thing lmao
LMFAOOOOOO I WAS SMILING MY TITS OFF
Normally I am a “Live and let live, like what you like, you don’t need to see anything you don’t want to see” type of gal.
But you should watch Casablanca. I only saw it for the first time about three years ago, long post-film degree. On a grey afternoon, get cosy and whack it on. It’s breathtaking.
Casablanca has the best smoking acting tied in first place with The Maltese Falcon.
I was a theatre kid that no one screwed with. I just had that energy. Saltburn is just fine
the day you watch casablanca you will never shut up about it again i can just feel it. this is your fate. you will love it and you have no choice in that matter
Casablanca is actually quite fun and easy!!
Thanks for the recs because i dont like watching movies tbh but these look and sound stimulating
I love how the comments basically transformed into a film recommendation page. So I guess here are my favourites I got to see 2023 :)
- Green Fried Tomatos
- Philadelphia
- Women Talking
- 12 Angry Men
- The Name of the Rose
- The Girl With the Dragen Tattoo
- Sleepless in Seattle
Even though I've read about 20 times less books than Jack this year, I watched more than twice as many films and that has to count for some kind of flex
I love that you enjoyed the menu because that is actually an S tier movie and more people need to jump on that train right now
not Jack in the Theatres!!!
You should watch the swedish film "A Man Called Ove". Of course the book is best, but the original movie adaptation is way better and captures Ove much much better than Tom Hank's portrayal.
Please recommend books like saltburn please
You should watch Casablanca!
Nooo ready player one is one of my favourite movies 😢
You're definitely mistaking The Wild for Madagascar.
I think you would really enjoy WHIPLASH with Miles Teller and J.K. Simmons
Glass Onions.. Blast, absolute blast... I agree with you 1000%
Movies I saw: Barbie and Ready Player One lol
Amazing movies Jack ❤
Important review for one want to take effort watching anything other than k-drama like me 😂
The house of gucci review😭😭
Do more people on here, parallel to how Jack mixed up Madagascar with The Wild, feel like we're continually sponsored by SurfSquare and SpaceShark? 🤔😝
I really wish you made a video with specific book recs like you did before 🥲♥️
Jack Edwards to movies is Emma Chamberlain to reading. It feels like it came out of nowhere but give them time because we might get some refreshing takes.
since u got ur degree
@@sanoja7846LMFAOOAAO
bro are you in every booktubers comments??? i swear i see you everywhere
@@zsujaz I like tuning in to booktubers.
emma chamberlain shares the most pseudointellectual takes and people eat it every damn time. i was 13 when i had much more valuable thoughts. like the things that she says literally are underneath the ground
Love that “one sentence” means one paragraph to you !! ❤ one sentence wouldn’t be enough
he's a literature major truly
One day I’ll watch Casablanca, but today is not that day…and neither is tomorrow.
I watched it four times already. And I loved every second of it 🥰
😂
It's a cliche to say this, but it's *so good*.
Casablanca is my favorite movie so you should watch it the day after tomorrow
It's my favourite movie too- just such a classic and exquisite masterpiece ✨

Jack I assume you didn’t as it wasn’t in this video, but are you going to the Eras tour, or were you gonna see the film in cinemas? Regards, a book lover fan of you and a Swiftieeeeee
thank you so much
Jack: "I do love the craft of storytelling."
Also Jack: "I'm never going to watch CASABLANCA."
yeah he'll come around eventually.
My thoughts exactly 😂 I believe in you, Jack!
I’m soooo curious as to what his perception is of this movie, especially after his comment about not watching it even on the 20 hour flight!
@@movingforwardLDTH judging by Jack's taste in film it's probably that it's "too old".
Eh, I also tend to not run towards movies considered "the best of all time", not bc they're old classics, but bc I'm pretty sure they aren't gonna suit the mood I'm in and if it's such a good movie according to others then I'd wanna wait until I WANT to watch it. They usually end up being a bit disappointing though lol
NOT THE NETFLIX AND CHILL JACK WHAT💀🤚🏾
fr 😭😭
Casablanca is not the overrated boring old movie that a lot of people seem to assume it is 😭 sometimes the thing that everyone says is a masterpiece is actually a masterpiece and this is one of those times!!!
Agreed
Yeah like that argument could be made for Citizen Kane (I say this as someone who likes Citizen Kane, it’s not that entertaining a movie) but Casablanca is just…actually great. It aged pretty well too.
Casablanca and citizen kane are two movies i watched for the first time this year- loved them both!!!
@@caloucalai Sometimes classics are classic for a reason! My husband and I have a new year’s eve tradition we started a couple years ago where we watch Casablanca and drink French 75s, 10/10 would recommend!
@@bibliophilecb Exactly! I found Citizen Kane hard to watch. (I've heard that if you know a lot about film history, which I don't, it becomes more interesting.) But Casablanca is a very accessible movie. I watched it for the first time was I was still a teen. Also, the script is so tightly written that it's used as the main example for how to build a script in Roger McKee's Story (my textbook when I took script-writing in college).
I love how almost all of these have more than one sentence
Remember when you told us the reviews would be one sentence each?
it must be so difficult carrying the weight of being correct every single time but u pull it off so effortlessly
One day boredom will win, you will watch casablanca and the next day I will receive a notification for a 30 minutes long video called "so guys, I watched casablanca and I'm so sorry", I am absolutely sure of this
Jack in the Movies??!!!?? There were fireworks, and I felt them at my core. So as a film student I think this is my time to shine. Here's some of my recs in one sentence!
- Big Fish (Tim Burton, 2003): the perfect movie with its cinematography, editing, plot and storytelling which are so engaging and touching.
- Persepolis (Marjane Satrapi, 2007): an animated film that is visually stunning and emotionally resonant.
- Life Itself (Dan Fogelman, 2018): the script is simple, the movie is beautiful and poignant.
- The Father (Florian Zeller, 2020): the story is brilliant and presented so delicately and delibaretly the film becomes alive and stays with you for a long time.
- 12 Angry Men (Sidney Lumet, 1957): a masterpiece that made me realize you can create miracles in a single room, to make a film or to challenge people’s prejudice.
- Green Book (Peter Farelly, 2018): a heartwarming and brutal story placed in a roadtrip plot with excuisite acting and editing.
these are really nice recs!!!
I watched the big fish shortly after losing a loved one and it destroyed me
I saw Big Fish and knew you were amazing
you should talk about movies more often!
The hold Casablanca has on people is so strong that people completely ignored Jack saying he didn't see Elvis because it was a Netflix and chill situation and commented on how he MUST see Casablanca 😂
Casablanca is better than any movie on this list it's utterly fantastic and honestly Jack would probably enjoy it
LOL YOUR ELVIS REVIEW 😂
Jack! Please, please, please, watch movies by Alfred Hitchcock!
Vertigo (1958), Psycho (1960), North by Northwest (1959) - ALL incredible movies!
I’d also recommend David Lynch’s Elephant Man (1980), Mulholland Drive (2001) & Blue Velvet (1986).
Go into these movies completely blind, it’s the only right way, I promise!
I have a perfect movie recommendation if you want to literally cry for days. The movie's called "Close."
It's a French/Dutch movie but it has subtitles. It's about friendship but takes some turns and I just could not stop crying. I cried the entire night I watched it.
my favorite movie of the year, and I just rewatched it last night going into the new year, and yep I bawled again lmao
@@GuacamoleInMyShoes mine too! I'm scared to rewatch it because I couldn't stop crying the last time🙈
@@keanancupido omg thats so relatable considering it took me almost a year just to watch it again, and I thought going in knowing what happens would make it less sad..... i was so wrong 😭
I have NEVER been so deeply impacted by a movie before. I had no idea of the plot going in and it was absolutely heart shattering. It took days to recover but a perfect 5⭐️ for me.
@@zoemarie1646 I agree it literally shattered me and I also took a couple of days to recover. I am still thinking about it months after I watched it. I'm so scared to watch it again 😭
I think it's ironic that the channel name is "Jack in the books." And everyone knows the relationship of books and movies.
It's bizarre to me to hear someone talk this way about Casablanca, because it seems to come from an assumption that it's some sort of dry intellectual movie, and that that's the reason critics love it. It's actually just a really good middle-of-the-road adventure melodrama movie that is totally accessible to anyone, but one which also just happens to be the most perfect movie of this kind ever made.
I don't know if you've seen the Dead Poets Society(it goes perfectly with Good Will Hunting for me) yet but i'm sure you'd love it
Yes, dead poets society has all the dark academia literary vibes that jack would love!!!
Also Mona Lisa Smile! I love that movie so much
Yes! I was thinking the same thing when he mentioned "Good Will Hunting". Also "School Ties" with Brendan Fraiser gives off a similar vibe as well.
Omg AMAZING MOVIE. I'm pretty sure he mentioned it in the dark academia video, if I'm not mistaken he read the book and said the movie was better, so you're right!
this is huge
Confirmed, top filmtuber watches top booktuber
obsessed with the fact that like none of these are one sentence
You should do a video comparing books to their movies and rate them
The fact that you had not ever watched “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” before is astounding, as is the fact that you had never watched “Good Will Hunting.” Happily, you had the correct opinions of both of them. 🙂
Hated saltburn, such a disappointment.
Jack... Really you should watch Casablanca, its really good.
i'm just gonna say this... this is the first video of you i've ever seen and i literally started loving you after like 10 seconds like idk how you did that but you somehow convinced me that you're the nicest person to ever live after like one sentence that's crazy
The Swedish movie adaptation of A Man Called Ove from 2015 is really really great! Haven't seen the American one yet, but I truly love the Swedish movie.
Jack, I’m begging you on my hands and knees to watch Shape of Water and Promising Young Woman (Emerald Fennel’s directorial debut), and review them
Promising young woman was one the greatest movies I've seen this year. Carey Mulligan deserved an Oscar one day. Del Torro's movies are among the greatest too, Pan's labirinth & The Shape of water especially.
YOU DID NOT WATCH THE BALLAD OF SONGBIRDS AND SNAKES!?
Old movies can be super fun, engaging, and above all have great scripts! I used to be scared of them - some are black and white even! 😂 - but it turns out they have fantastic characters and narrative and depth, which our CG world often (not always!!) sacrifices.
You should watch The Banshees of Inisherin
A wonderful film
Would honestly kill for more movie-related videos from you 🙏
Jack you need to watch the Swedish version of A Man Called Ove. It's waaay better than A Man Called Otto. It's closer to the book.
there was already a film of 'a man called ove'. It's really good and a more faithful adaptation of the book
I was hooked into this video by the idea of “one sentence” but your sentence is really long monologue
Okay but, Casablanca slaps.
Weirdly, "Get Out" is the only movie of Jordan Peele's I haven't seen, but I'm so darn hesitant because I didn't like the others. I've heard "Get Out" is his best one, so maybe I'll still check it out. It's just hard for me to see the hype around the other two. I still love hearing what Jack's thoughts and feelings are on movies though.
(And I agree that "Everything Everywhere All At Once" is a masterpiece. Such a wild ride, and fucked up in the best way possible.)
I've seen all his films and Get Out is definitely his best, you should give it a chance!
"Us" is definitely the weakest, but not liking Nope is crazy. Give Get Out a shot though, it's a blast and easier to love than Nope I think.
‘casablanca’ was one of those movies i put off for YEARS, thinking “one day i’ll watch, i have to” because it’s just one of those classics that keeps haunting you wherever you go, i would literally be reminded of it at least 5 times a year every single year. this year, they projected it during one of my classes (mandatory presence) and you know what? for a black & white film, it aged like the finest of wines. i’m not a big fan of b&w, i don’t know why that is, but ‘casablanca’ is so incredibly well made that i didn’t feel bored for a second 🫢
I agree with mostly everything but deeply, I mean passionately disagree with Jack's opinion on 'Of an Age'. I think the performances of two men was the highlight of the movie. They we so subtle and so brilliant in their acting.
Switching majors? :))
omg jack reviewing movies is something i didnt know i needed in my life!
Saltburn is the poor man's The Talented Mr. Ripley. Admittedly, Rosamund Pike was brilliant. All the actors were great, albeit Barry Keoghan was far too old for the role even if he was so good. Sadly the script was so 2 dimensional. Watch the Talented Mr Ripley and review your opinion.
If you enjoyed The Menu, you might like Hunger about a Thai street food cook who gets a chance to work with a celebrity chef at his restaurant. There is a chef-off later in the movie that is spectacular. And if you enjoy food-related movies in general and not just ones where snobby, entitled people get their, ahem, just desserts, Big Night with Stanley Tucci and Tony Shaloub is one of the best.
4:20 was perfect opportunity to say it made you “wail”
Since you liked Black swan, watch the japanese film Perfect Blue, Aronofsky might not want to acknowledge all the "influences" he got from Satoshi Kon but he got them, the film is dark and brilliant and sad. Hope you like it
Ok ok ok. Casablanca is FANTASTIC! I first watched it in high school and I loved it and have watched it multiple times since (I'm 34).
you should do another story graph update for 2023! just got into it again and rewatched your 2021 video
Triangle of Sadness and Black Swan 🖤 I finally just watched Saltburn and loved it!! I'm adding Emily, Good Will Hunting, Glass Onion and King Richard to my list. Thank you Jack!
King Richard is great. I'd watch that one first.
ready player one is one of the best books i’ve ever read and that adaptation did it SO dirty.
CORRECT
Ok, but now you have to watch "Us"!
Babe you didn't do a every book I read this year video last year, so please don't fail us this time! I love those videos 🥺
There are so many golden age films that don’t get mentioned as much as other classics, but anything with Dorris Day or Audrey Hepburn usually hits the mark.
I am so glad you made this video! I love how you describe and discuss things so to hear you talk about movies is a delight.
Babylon is so goood though, i know feels a lot but you have to understand the context of the that time , Hollywood was in transition from silent movies to talkies and the collapse you talk about at the end personally i think it was intentional, this is the type of movie most of us call " a love letter to cinema" because it shows the craziness in the beginning and how hollywood was at the time during that era and then the transition and how it affected the industry and everyone that works in the movies industry, for me the movie was really nostalgic of that era, and music was amazing , the fact that it didn't won best score at the oscars is a crime
AFTERSUN is an exquisite emotionally charged 💎 of a film. Highly recommended!!! 🧡🧡🧡
"Past Lives" is phenomenal and is my hands down favorite movie of the year. I still have to see "Poor Things". There is a Swedish movie called "A Man Called Ove" which is much better than the American remake. I will have to read Backman's book.
i think from your tastes you’d like Jojo Rabbit and Tick Tick Boom a lot. idk if you’re down for musicals but TTB is much more than that.
I love Tick Tick Boom so much 😭
@@GooKie18279 it’s my favorite movie of all time!! I’ve been a rent fan for years and jonathan’s stories have meant a lot to me so getting the TTB film was amazing.
Omg. I watched Black Swan in the theater 5 times, and wrote a paper on the use of color in this movie. Soooo fricking good.
Also, Past Lives took my breath away.
lol, this was def not one sentence per film
I love how the most replayed part of the video is the Elvis review cause we are all collectively squealing at the screen 🤠🤓
Bullet train was good
Why don't you want to watch Casablanca? Just wondering 🤔
And why do you think this movie is boring if you've never watched it…🤭
Bro, he’s referring to our tendency to constantly telling ourselves we’ll watch a classic film, but realistically we won’t see it anytime soon. It was a joke
Some people rave about films and watch them simply because they are “based on a true story”. But often true stories are dull - I want to be entertained. Oppenheimer was an example that was about two hours longer than it needed to be. The creation of the atom bomb may well be a critical point in human history but we don’t need a three hour borefest about it.
Godzilla Minus One, on the other hand - film of the year. Heart felt, exciting, and massively entertaining.
I think one day I'll watch Casablanca. The thing is, I'm a big Ingrid Bergman fan but not so big on Humphrey Bogart.
Casablanca is not Jack’s Roman Empire. Got it.
Maybe one day you can listen to the Casablanca soundtrack in the background one day. It's a whole mood❤
Bro, you need to start watching non-western movies as well. Dont restrict yourself your comfort zone. Is it like you are not willing to watch movies with subtitles?Get a mubi sub for a month atleast.
i mostly watch movies on aeroplanes (as i travel a lot) or at screenings i'm invited to, which is why most of the movies are western + english. i never watch movies in my free time, but if i did i'm sure there would be more!
@@jack_in_the_books I'm confused by this. Don't you want to be a screenwriter? How can you want to be one if you don't even enjoy the medium you're wanting to write for?
I really enjoyed Elvis but good to know you also had a good time jack 😂👍
Past Lives also smashed my heart into a thousand weeping pieces 💔 sooooo good
I could be wrong, but I don’t think Jack wants to watch Casablanca.
