Great video. Hope you give vertigo another shot. It is my favorite movie of all time. It’s not the most fun movie ever like North by Northwest or something, but I think it is Hitchcock’s most personal and haunting movie.
Neighbors is a great "Dark Comedy" I love the "dirty coffee cup scene" in the kitchen where Belushi keeps switching it, thinking Akroyd won't notice. Classic underrated film.
So glad to hear some love for the Creature From The Black Lagoon trilogy. I always thought it was great that they made each movie different. That's pretty rare . Good stuff!
I saw "Neighbors" in the theatre also, always liked it! I understood the kind of comedy it was, teenager or not. Belushi & Akroyd were always good together.
Omega Man & Soylent Green with Charleton Heston are two of the best & prescient films of the 1970s. Westworld was very innovative, HBO had a series based on the movie, but it wasn't nearly as good. I like movies like Ishtar and 1941 which most people don't get. The underrated Spielberg produced I Want to Hold Your Hand truly captured the joy and lunacy of Beatlemania more than the recent Beatles '64. The Graduate & Easy Rider were the first movies to use prerecorded popular music incorporated in the soundtrack. Great presentation Joe, it really sparked the imagination!
Ironically, "Lawrence of Arabia" is probably my favorite movie ... definitely my favorite long film, cinematography etc. Like "Casablanca" I loved it when I first saw it and appreciate it more every time.
Joe, these are terrific responses! And thank you for the nice shoutout. Let me start off by saying how glad I am to hear your comments about Seconds. It's one of the most impressive discoveries I've made in the last 25 years. I never saw it when it played in theaters in 1966, but I picked it up as a blind buy at Border's bookstore, and it quickly became an enduring favorite. I also discovered Side Effects as a Big Lots blind buy and it was a pleasant surprise as well. I love Westworld, The Omega Man, Ben-Hur, Death Trap, The Creature From the Black Lagoon, etc. I do hope you give Vertigo a second chance. Chinatown is highly recommended, but I'm not a huge fan of Lawrence of Arabia. As for The Mummy (1999), I saw it once and thought it was OK, but it didn't grab me enough to want to see it again. Teenage Zombies and The Indestructible Man are great B-flick fun. We agree on Manhattan being impressive for its cinematography rather than its story. What I love about it most is Woody Allen's insistence on using B&W, which was a controversial choice in 1979. Sorry I can't agree with you on Tarantino, but I do like Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Great video!!
@@grey1951 Terrific comment, Mike! Amazing that we relate on so many of these titles. Feedback like yours is what makes doing this worthwhile. At times I feel like nobody's really watching, so why bother? This channel is so much smaller than my other main channel, and I STILL regularly contemplate moving these movie videos over there to get more eyes on them. Anyway, thanks!
@@MrCineMayo Just my 2 cents worth, Joe, but I hope you keep this channel as it is, because you have a lot to contribute when it comes to discussing films. I can understand why you would want more subs and more views. We all feel that way. But one thing you have to consider is that the movie collecting community, or whatever name we go by, is much smaller than the vinyl community. And not nearly as passionate and involved. You may have already noticed that a lot of the "physical media" channels are run by young guys who seem to be intent on selling something rather than giving thoughtful reviews and commentaries about films. Most of these channels are very popular, are loaded with bells and whistles, and get lots of subs and views. The channels that concentrate on thoughtful discussion generally have less subs and views, at least from what I can see. People like me, who don't have flashy intros and creative editing, who just talk in front of the webcam, don't get nearly as much attention and feedback. In the vinyl community, it's different. Your video has been up for 2 days, and you already have 333 views. Mine has been up 4 days with 136 views. From my viewpoint, you're doing pretty well. Now, it's probably not sensible to compare our two channels, because I've never been that active on RUclips, and I seem to be slowing down considerably. I started making videos in 2012 and it took me a lot of years to reach 1,000 subs, and my channel doesn't grow that much. But I have my own niche and get really thoughtful comments from mostly longtime followers. I check my channel stats all the time, because that's part of the RUclips experience. But I try to be realistic about all of it. Anyway, I like what your channel has to offer. I admire your ability to intelligently discuss both music and movies. I was in the vinyl community for about three weeks before I asked myself: "What the fuck am I doing here? I need to find something else to talk about!"
@@grey1951 Mike I really appreciate your thoughtful comment. You are right on the money when you described most "popular" movie channels with sporting fancy special effects, and how they're not as engaged in discussing the actual movies themselves (and especially not older movies, the ones you and I mostly like!). I follow one RUclipsr names Sue who remarked how her channel went nowhere when all she did was review films -- and then it took off once she focused more on weekly physical media shopping and stuff like that. I'm trying to incorporate more of the "physical media collecting" aspect of things, but I will still maintain talking about the actual MOVIES and doing my reviews (even if some manage just over 100 views, as DONOVAN'S BRAIN recently did). I guess I have become spoiled by my main successful music channel. The reason I have more views and subs than you do, I think, is because I had the advantage of luring regular members of my MeanMrMayo channel over here! But it does surprise me that movies don't seem to have a huger following with tons of interest -- I thought way more people loved movies and TV! Either way I'm not giving up nor stopping, though I need to step up my game and produce more content every week. This is not the first time I'm telling you, but I enjoy your channel and urge you never to give it up!!! In the end, as long as we have some dedicated followers who appreciate what we do, that's what truly matters.
Hi Joe, Great topic and video. I enjoyed this and I Love to hear the movies that other people Love. It would take me awhile to think of all my favorites and write them down in a list, but My Favorite movie of all time is the Original Fiddler On The Roof with the Actor Topol playing the Father. The Most incredible Movie I ever saw, American Grafitti Would be very high on my list also, In the top 5 for sure, and I Love all the Pink Panther movies with Peter Sellers, but there are so many more, I can't list them all
What a fun video really cool I believe it would take me quite a while to come up with a list. This was a lot of fun it would actually reminded me of when I took a filmmaking class in high school these are the type of discussions and or questions the teacher would come up with once in awhile. As always many blessings good health and much Heavenly love to you and all you love.
Chinatown is an absolute must. See that one soon. Also, the Columbo episode with Faye Dunaway makes oblique reference to her role in Chinatown. Lawrence of Arabia I can take or leave. It contains a very bizarre title sequence: an overhead outdoor shot straight down on the motorcycle that Peter O'Toole will soon ride to his death (the rest of the movie is told in flashback). In this title sequence the majestic Lawrence of Arabia theme is playing on the soundtrack. Plain fricking crazy. Vertigo, Mr. Mayo? 🥲 Mother's Day is a hoot. Beatrice Pons is just too good. I adore the scene where's she's flossing her teeth and giving her son the cold shoulder because he went too easy on the latest victim. Gordy Willis is my favorite American cinematographer. If you substitute classic foreign films for monster movies, you and I have similar tastes.
I like this video. Some other personal honorable mentions I might make would be: great movie poster, I always liked the blue-background poster for "All Through the Night" (1942). Best Long Movie: "The Great Escape." Movie I'm going to watch: Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Also, Corsair, a dramatic film with Thelma Todd. Films that I like, which at least the critics hated: The Three Amigos. I liked its homage to the silent era, and it is good light entertainment. Also, Magical Mystery Tour (it has 6 Beatles music videos, a Monty Pythonesque scene with Victor Spinetti, and the filler material isn't very long). Underrated films: The Marx Brothers' "Room Service" (1938) and Laurel & Hardy's "The Big Noise" (1944). Great soundtracks, for incidental music: Way Out West (1937).
For me personally if I did this myself, half of the movies on my list or maybe more would be animated films. I do wanna say since it is the season right now, for me my most over rated film is probably a Christmas Story, to me it's a total bore.

I can't do this quiz. I nod off during movies. Disqualified. This coming from someone who just tried to sit through Santa Claus Conquers The Martians.
I nod off too.

Did you fall asleep at the keyboard?
For me personally if I did this myself, half of the movies on my list or maybe more would be animated films. I do wanna say since it is the season right now, for me my most over rated film is probably a Christmas Story, to me it's a total bore.
I could have named that movie for "I should see this someday".
