I'd say he's more of a cinephile who has seen thousands of films, and knows what he's talking about. He's developed a very strong taste for films, and those are what stood out to him.
A great double feature with “who’s afraid of Virginia wolf” would be “Make Way for Tomorrow”. That’s on the understanding that one is a glutton for dark, dark melodrama-on-steroids emotions; you’ll be sick for weeks from emotional overload. But if you’re into that sort of thing, and like looking into emotional abysses, that’s the way to go. I suppose if that doesn’t finish you off, then “Requiem for a Dream” to top it all off.
You can see it in his filmography. He purposely takes on challenging roles in movies that aren’t necessarily destined for big box office. I believe he has stated he prefers roles that are challenging opposed to taking a big check for a blockbuster.
Tampopo is just phenomenal. It's one of those films that's best seen with a large audience, if nothing more than just to see their reaction to a particular scene. The whole movie is structured like a meal, with a main course and side dishes. Absolutely brilliant and hilarious.
It is superb and Jerry Lewis is brilliant in it. As a commentary on fame it cannot be equalled and it makes you realise that although people crave great fame etc., it is a poisoned chalice.
As a fan of Norton, and based on my perceptions of Edward as an actor and person, I'd expect nothing less than a list of heady and obscure titles. I think many actors/actresses (the good ones anyway), view cinematography through a different lens than your average movie buff.
Yay on Metropolis,Another great Fritz Lang film is M huge influence on Hitchcock pretty much 1st slasher or murder spree crime film.Think of Finchers Zodiac,M based on all the German Weimar serial killer epidemic Peter Kurtan,Fritz Harman.Interesting Peter Lorre plays 1st slasher also in 1st spy thriller original man who knew too much.
Edward Norton is my all time favorite actor, With Christian Bale following. He and Christian Bale bring so much life and realism to the characters that they play it's amazing. You really feel like they are the character that they are playing compared to some actors who are just reading lines
Kyle Hendrickson no need to trip, it's about what it represents, the human condition, curiosity, existentialism, human evolution etc. It's humanity in a nutshell for me
I can understand people not having heard of most of these movies,but having never heard of "Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf"? Wow. That flick is scorching hot. One of the most brutal movies you'll ever see.
The people posting their own favourite films below should go back and watch this this video again. Right at the start, he does not say that these are his five favourite films; he says these are five OF his favourite films. There is a difference. And it is clear (because he tells you) that he chose to mention them because we might not have seen them or heard of them. In other words, he is trying to tell us something we might find useful. In this spirit, I will list five films which are not literally my five all-time faves, but are suggestions you might want to check out. I would be grateful if future posters did the same. All but #5 are comedies or comedy-dramas. 1. A New Leaf 2. Let It Ride 3. The Wrong Box 4. Zero Effect 5. Diva
1. Persona (Ingmar Bergman) 2. Seven Samurai (Akira Kurosawa) 3. Casablanca (Michael Curtiz) 4. The Cook, the Thief, His Wife and Her Lover (Peter Greenaway) 5. Lawrence of Arabia (David Lean)
If you haven’t seen Barton Fink ... YOU NEED TO. Absolute masterpiece from the Coen brothers, that is criminally underrated. Definitely their most surreal and enigmatic film. It’s without question, one of my top 3 or 4 All Time Favorite Films
Oh.. wow..! Thanks for sharing.... 😊❤ I Love Edward Norton.... going to check out all of Ed's recommendations.... seen most of these movies... great movies... 😊❤
1) The Godfather 2) 2001 a space odyssey 3) There will be blood 4) Fightclub 5) Pulp Fiction 6) A Clockwork Orange 7) The Holy Mountain 8) Taxi Driver 9) No Country for Old Men 10) The seventh seal
Quite eclectic. The Holy Mountain, one of the most visual film openings ever. You're a true cinephile. The other people here are just fanboys and girls.
The Cruise really is a fantastic Doc. I never miss a chance to tell someone about this film. I guess I should not be shocked to hear Ed Norton talk about this film considering his friend, Bennet Miller, made it, but most people never heard of this film so its a pleasant surprise to hear him promote it.
He is an actor. It's understandable that he'd love to watch films. And if you watch a lot of films you might like odd ones,particularly if you and people you know are starring in everything contemporary and you want some escapism.
Jeffery Lebowski Well that just like.....your opinion man lol pretty good list, I thought Birdman was a great movie but I actually think Wiplash was the best nominee that year and Nightcrawler was the all around best film that year.
Mason Brown NCFOM is one of the most overrated films and un-fulfilling films I've ever seen. It just ended out of nowhere. It didn't feel like there was a payoff at the end... Birdman, however was awesome
What a great and totally original selection. I looked at this because of The King of Comedy and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, both of which I love, but I am definitely going to check out the other three. Fascinating!
1) Blade Runner 2) Silence of the lambs 3) 2001 A Space Odyssey 4) Psycho 5) A Clockwork Orange 6) Misery 7) 12 Angry Men 8) The Prestige 9) Come and See(Idi i smotri) 10) American Psycho
1. The Master (Paul Thomas Anderson) 2. Citizen Kane (Orson Welles) 3. 2001 - A Space Odyssey (Stanley Kubrick) 4. Magnolia (Paul Thomas Anderson) 5. Vertigo (Alfred Hitchcock) 6. One flew over the cuckoo's nest (Milos Forman) 7. Breathless (Jean-Luc Godard) 8. Clockwork Orange (Stanley Kubrick) 9. There will be blood (Paul Thomas Anderson) 10. In the mood for love (Wong Kar-wai) I had to keep writing after 5, so sue me
KarateNinjaDude Great to see someone put The Master as #1, it's a remarkable film. Not my favourite yet maybe, but some day it might become my number one.
KarateNinjaDude - You have damn fine taste! The Master was, well, masterful. Stunning performances across the board. I used to watch Cuckoo's Nest almost daily... And of course, Kubrick's films have never been dethroned as the greatest experiences cinema has to offer.
My Favorite Films (In no particular order.) Inception (2010) The Shawshank Redemption (1994) Drive (2011) Babel (2006) Interstellar (2014) There Will Be Blood (2007) Fargo (1996) No Country For Old (2007) Inside Llewyn Davis (2013) Watchmen (2009) Schindler's List (1993) 12 Years A Slave (2013) Skyfall (2012) Cloud Atlas (2012) Mad Max Fury Road (2015) The Prestige (2006) Saving Private Ryan (1998) Whiplash (2014) Terminator 2 (1991) Sicario (2015) Ex Machina (2015)
That's a near perfect list in my opinio n. I'm glad that there's an increasing appetite for Alejandro jodorowsky films even if its only for underground film buffs. What did you think of The Holy Mountain?
Entirely agree with The King Of Comedy. Ridiculously under-rated. De Niro is chilllingly brilliant. By far, Scorsese's most unappreciated film. I rate it just below Taxi Driver/Raging Bull.
Do you get the feeling these aren't his favorite movies but he either picked obscure films or a great director's (Scorsese) lesser known works so as to make himself seem hip or cool in the eyes of his cohorts? If Edward Norton was trapped on an island or something and he could take only 5 movies to watch over a period of several years, this would be his go-to list? I doubt it. The King of Comedy was not Scorsese's best work, not by a long shot and Scorsese will be the first to admit it.
But then again, this is what everyone thinks every time someone chooses an old film/not very known film/art-house film, etc. There's a huge difference between what you might think is the five best films, and what is your 5 favorite films. I for example, have the Russian film "Zerkalo" from 75 as one of my all time favorites, but I also have Scott Pilgrim vs the world on that same list. These are his PERSONAL OPINIONS, which is why we should take his word for it.
shouts out to anyone else reading all of these and bookmarking/downloading every movie they haven't heard of 1.The holy mountain 2. The cruise 3. Koyaanisqatsi 4.stroszek 5. it's such a beautiful day 6. mindgame (2004) none of these are in any order other than the holy mountain being the best
Par Ker The movie special to me because my dad had a "No R-Rated Movie rule" in my house (was 15-16 when the film came out) he decided to give it a chance and at that point he didn't care what movie I watched xD.
1. The Killing of a Chinese Bookie (Cassavetes) 2. Ran (Akira Kurosawa) 3. Scenes from a Marriage (Bergman) 4. Bitter Rice (Giuseppe De Santis) 5. Blood Simple (Coen Bros)
great list, mine is 1. Once Upon A Time In The West 2. Blade Runner 3. The Third Man 4. Apocalypse Now 5. The Shawshank Redemption and Seven Samurai happens to be my number 6
Never noticed your comment until now lmao Thats a wonderful list. The Third man is indeed amazing. And Sergio Leone is one of my favorite directors too. Having watched Once Upon a Time in America again and again this past couple of years, id have to say that probably would be my sixth favorite.
there are a great number of movies that I could watch over and over again without never ever getting tired .... but my heart goes first and foremost for ALL Edward Norton's filmography ....
well everyone else is commenting with their favorites so here we go 1. Eraserhead 2. No Country for Old Men' 3. Dead Alive 4. The Evil Dead 5. Fright Night
Mine may not be a so popular list. But 3 movies that stuck with me for the longest period of time we’re Donnie Darko, Good will hunting, and Call me By your Name.
Izzy Loves Movies American Psycho and Pans Labrnthy are super underrated and 2 of the best films I have seen. Christian Bale's performance is one of the best so far this centuary.
Good list. But replace one of the Hitchcock's with a Robert Altman and I'm really there. Maybe McCabe and Mrs. Miller or Nashville, perhaps, The Player or Short Cuts.
1. I saw the devil (korean) 2. Memento 3. Seven psychopaths 4. Love, sex and dhoka (bollywood) 5. Thirst (korean) 6. Shahid (bollywood) 7. Gangs of wasseypur (bollywood) 8. Shutter island 9. The sixth sense 10. Mother (korean)
+beefyb93 well there's plenty of classics I love, citizen cane, 12 angry men, the endlessly inventive works of buster Keaton. Most of the stuff Stanley Kubrick and Alfred Hitchcock did is pretty good. I don't get all the hype around Casablanca but it's still a good watch. I could go on for ages, and I'm 21 by the way.
Great list by a master actor!...Ok, here's 10 favorites: Citizen Kane, Tokyo Story, Vertigo, The Seven Samurai, The Seventh Seal-Hour of the Wolf, Breathless, 81/2, 2001 Space Odyssey, Journey to Italy-Stromboli-Bicycle Thieves, Andrei Rublev-Mirror, La Jetee-Sans Soleil, Le Samourai...More recent favorites include Burning, Poetry, Secret Sunshine, Shoplifters, A Brighter Summer Day, The Other Side of The Wind and Secrets and Lies...
I have five films that always seem to survive the revisions of my ever-changing top 10 list, probably because they mean the most to me personally: 1. The Apartment 2. Fanny and Alexander 3. The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp 4. McCabe & Mrs. Miller 5. Rear Window
I only have one that will never leave my top 10. In fact it will never leave my top 1 or 2, and that's The Good The Bad and the Ugly. Others that are currently there and will most likely remain: The Shining A Clockwork Orange Blade Runner Gone With the Wind Apocalypse Now Pulp Fiction Goodfellas Deliverance Aliens Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas The Lord of the Rings Trilogy Probably pretty pedestrian pics but I like what I like.
1. Dances With Wolves 2. Almost Famous 3. Boyhood 4. Memento 5. There will Be Blood 6. The Shawshank Redemption 7. Born on The 4th Of July 8. Do The Right Thing 9. Pulp Faction 10. The Pledge
I'm horrible at making lists like this, way too many amazing movies with their own unique quality that I'd tear my hair out to say which is better, but No Country for Old Men pops in my head as number one to me. It's themes of death, violence and fate, the acting with Mr. Bardem bringing the most ominous antagonist I've ever read to to the screen flawlessly and the fact it's my favorite directing bros adapting from one of my favorite authors ever makes it a perfect film imo.
Sometime ago I had heard that Ed Norton had said that "Ruggles of Red Gap" was one of his favorite films and I took the opportunity to record it from TCM. He's right - it became one of my all time favorite films and I watch it at least once a year. Aside from showcasing Charles Laughton's immense talent it also includes the famous recitation of Lincoln's Gettysburg Address by Laughton which then became forever associated with him. If you haven' t seen this wonderful movie I urge you to seek it out and enjoy it!
My top 20: 1)In the Mood for Love 2)Whiplash 3)Harakiri 4)The Shining 5) Oldboy 6) GoodFellas 7) Parasite 8) Spirited Away 9) High and Low 10) Brazil 11) Social Network 12) The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind 13) The 400 Blows 14) The Host 15) No Country for Old Men 16) Alien 17) The Thing 18) The Big Lebowski 19) Ikiru 20) 2001: A Space Oddyssey
Most people's lists they posted here are lists they had on the Internet. If they didn't have top movies lists on the Internet or on media, their lists would be completely different. This is my personal list of favourites that I can watch over and over again: 1) There Will be Blood 2) Whiplash 3) The Grand Budapest Hotel 4) The Truman Show / The Mask 5) Up in the Air / You've Got Mail / The Big Lebowski
In the same way that Edward Norton singles out 'King of Comedy' as one of Scorsese's underrated best, I'd single out 'Leaves of Grass' as one of Norton's underrated best. I understand what people see in his performances in AHX & Primal Fear, but to me he really takes flight with Leaves of Grass. It's exceptional work & my favourite of Ed Norton's--right up there with Birdman as the best work he's ever done.
@@supptk It is what it is. I mean, it's Ed Norton so Fight Club is very good. It's very good. But he has a little sandpile of performances that stop me in my tracks, & while FC is very good it's not in the little sandpile haha. IMO. I also thought he was a standout in a cast of standouts in Moonrise Kingdom.
I'd say he's more of a cinephile who has seen thousands of films, and knows what he's talking about. He's developed a very strong taste for films, and those are what stood out to him.
A great double feature with “who’s afraid of Virginia wolf” would be “Make Way for Tomorrow”. That’s on the understanding that one is a glutton for dark, dark melodrama-on-steroids emotions; you’ll be sick for weeks from emotional overload. But if you’re into that sort of thing, and like looking into emotional abysses, that’s the way to go. I suppose if that doesn’t finish you off, then “Requiem for a Dream” to top it all off.
Edward Norton is one of the greatest actor of all time
I agree. There is something compelling about him.
Very underrated actor but very remarkable performances.He's my number 1 favorite actor and no other actor is like him at all
No.
He is good, but not one of the greatest
Sophia’s Vlogs the greatest
I have to say, Edward Norton has quite a sublime taste when it comes to movies. Very sophisticated choices.
Or he's too far up his own a@@.
You can see it in his filmography. He purposely takes on challenging roles in movies that aren’t necessarily destined for big box office. I believe he has stated he prefers roles that are challenging opposed to taking a big check for a blockbuster.
@@AB-nk5wvPrecisely. I remember him stating that in interviews he did for 'The Incredible Hulk' and 'Sausage Party'.
The King of Comedy is definitely Scorsese’s most underrated movie. I also would put it in my top 5.
GOAT
But taxi driver still has best overall movie
Tampopo is just phenomenal. It's one of those films that's best seen with a large audience, if nothing more than just to see their reaction to a particular scene. The whole movie is structured like a meal, with a main course and side dishes. Absolutely brilliant and hilarious.
It's beautiful.
I absolutely fell in love with that film right from the start, dying of laughter and joy
It's a very good film but my second viewing was a let down. There is a freshness and novelty the first time but it can wear thin. Just my experience.
Edward Norton is a fantastic actor, one of the most underrated of our times
True, I have the same opinion. Brad Pitt is on of the best actors.
Who the fuck is underrating Norton?!!
King of Comedy is amazing, so glad he liked it
The greatest.
GOAT
Joker is made from this movie
Pretty much straight ripoff @trumpameri1638
Because I came here to see top fives of random strangers in the comment section.
Colin Finch Mostlythinkihave I refuse to add my top films nobody is interested in other ppls choices.
Also people who have only watched 20 movies in their lives
Lmk a few movies that are undervalued in y'alls eyes
Edward Norton is truly a phenomenal actor. He is still playing the character. He didn't broke the rules.
How could people choose top five favorite movies? I seriously cant!!! I love all my fave movies in different ways!!!
Exactly !!
Same here
yeah same!
Yeah i agree, i feel its a slap in the face of other movies
Agree 👍
1. The Emperor's New Groove
... That's it.
Love him. Will watch all just because he said to. Forever a fangirl.
What about 7 years later?
I thought I was alone with The King of Comedy. It's my second favourite Scorsese film. It's very underrated.
It is superb and Jerry Lewis is brilliant in it. As a commentary on fame it cannot be equalled and it makes you realise that although people crave great fame etc., it is a poisoned chalice.
As a fan of Norton, and based on my perceptions of Edward as an actor and person, I'd expect nothing less than a list of heady and obscure titles. I think many actors/actresses (the good ones anyway), view cinematography through a different lens than your average movie buff.
Thank God they do. BTW, these titles aren't all that obscure.
i know this, because tyler know this

Jack Johnson Wow. lol Way ahead of it's time, thinkin way out of the box.
yeah it is an amazing film, amazing.
How does American History X belong to this list of staggering originals
I can understand people not having heard of most of these movies,but having never heard of "Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf"?

EVERYTHING about Tampopo is wonderful
The Cruise really is a fantastic Doc. I never miss a chance to tell someone about this film. I guess I should not be shocked to hear Ed Norton talk about this film considering his friend, Bennet Miller, made it, but most people never heard of this film so its a pleasant surprise to hear him promote it.
I wish he could clone himself, so we could have his presence in film but also as a film show host.
He is an actor. It's understandable that he'd love to watch films. And if you watch a lot of films you might like odd ones,particularly if you and people you know are starring in everything contemporary and you want some escapism.

NCFOM is one of the most overrated films and un-fulfilling films I've ever seen. It just ended out of nowhere. It didn't feel like there was a payoff at the end...
Birdman, however was awesome
NewCanadianTurtle I guess its a very personal choice. I dont think Everyone can like that kind of movie
NewCanadianTurtle I thought the same thing the first time i watched it. You need to watch it about 100+ times to fully appreciate it.
What a great and totally original selection. I looked at this because of The King of Comedy and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, both of which I love, but I am definitely going to check out the other three. Fascinating!

Outstanding list. All five of your favorites are stunning films. El Topo is one of the most underappreciated westerns ever.
Entirely agree with The King Of Comedy. Ridiculously under-rated. De Niro is chilllingly brilliant. By far, Scorsese's most unappreciated film. I rate it just below Taxi Driver/Raging Bull.
I agree King of Comedy is criminally underrated.
De Niro is outta sight great as Pupkin!!
Its a top five Scorsese without a doubt.
genuinely great taste and some great recommendations and love what he says about each film, especially king of comedy.
Do you get the feeling these aren't his favorite movies but he either picked obscure films or a great director's (Scorsese) lesser known works so as to make himself seem hip or cool in the eyes of his cohorts? If Edward Norton was trapped on an island or something and he could take only 5 movies to watch over a period of several years, this would be his go-to list? I doubt it. The King of Comedy was not Scorsese's best work, not by a long shot and Scorsese will be the first to admit it.
But then again, this is what everyone thinks every time someone chooses an old film/not very known film/art-house film, etc. There's a huge difference between what you might think is the five best films, and what is your 5 favorite films. I for example, have the Russian film "Zerkalo" from 75 as one of my all time favorites, but I also have Scott Pilgrim vs the world on that same list. These are his PERSONAL OPINIONS, which is why we should take his word for it.
shouts out to anyone else reading all of these and bookmarking/downloading every movie they haven't heard of

lane good taste
Good list. But replace one of the Hitchcock's with a Robert Altman and I'm really there. Maybe McCabe and Mrs. Miller or Nashville, perhaps, The Player or Short Cuts.
These were Ed's 5 favorite movies back in April of 2010. His list changes every month.
Understandably so: 5 just isn't enough. See how he says "five OF my favourite" in the beginning? He's being honest about it.
1- LOTR Trilogy
2- Fight Club
3- American Beauty
4- Zodiac
5- American History X
1. I saw the devil (korean)
2. Memento
3. Seven psychopaths
4. Love, sex and dhoka (bollywood)
5. Thirst (korean)
6. Shahid (bollywood)
7. Gangs of wasseypur (bollywood)
8. Shutter island
9. The sixth sense
10. Mother (korean)
5. The worlds end
4. Frank
3. Anomalisa
2. It's such a beautiful day
1. Synecdoce New York
Good stuff
You like to be sad, don't you?
Seen any movies made before 2008? I kid.
+beefyb93 well there's plenty of classics I love, citizen cane, 12 angry men, the endlessly inventive works of buster Keaton. Most of the stuff Stanley Kubrick and Alfred Hitchcock did is pretty good. I don't get all the hype around Casablanca but it's still a good watch. I could go on for ages, and I'm 21 by the way.
+beefyb93 oh and Jean luc Godard his brilliant
1- 2001: A Space Odyssey
2- Enter The Void
3- Knight of Cups
4- Eraserhead
5- Boyhood
Alireza Ataie 2001 is a snoozefest
Literally all those are boring
@@wtfyoutube4873 are you one of those people that get bored if there is no fight scenes for 5 minutes?

2. Fanny and Alexander
3. The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp
4. McCabe & Mrs. Miller
5. Rear Window

I only heard of the rear window, your list is an eye opener, thanks for sharing.
mccabe and mrs miller is the greatest film ever made.
I only have one that will never leave my top 10. In fact it will never leave my top 1 or 2, and that's The Good The Bad and the Ugly. Others that are currently there and will most likely remain:
The Shining
A Clockwork Orange
Blade Runner
Gone With the Wind
Apocalypse Now
Pulp Fiction
Goodfellas
Deliverance
Aliens
Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas
The Lord of the Rings Trilogy
Probably pretty pedestrian pics but I like what I like.
Tampopo is an amazing film. I would recommend it to anyone.
I appreciate this video so much

I'm horrible at making lists like this, way too many amazing movies with their own unique quality that I'd tear my hair out to say which is better, but No Country for Old Men pops in my head as number one to me. It's themes of death, violence and fate, the acting with Mr. Bardem bringing the most ominous antagonist I've ever read to to the screen flawlessly and the fact it's my favorite directing bros adapting from one of my favorite authors ever makes it a perfect film imo.
1) Goodfellas
2) Catch Me If You Can
3) Departed
4) Saving Private Ryan
5) Dazed & Confused
Sometime ago I had heard that Ed Norton had said that "Ruggles of Red Gap" was one of his favorite films and I took the opportunity to record it from TCM. He's right - it became one of my all time favorite films and I watch it at least once a year. Aside from showcasing Charles Laughton's immense talent it also includes the famous recitation of Lincoln's Gettysburg Address by Laughton which then became forever associated with him. If you haven' t seen this wonderful movie I urge you to seek it out and enjoy it!
My top 20:
1)In the Mood for Love
2)Whiplash
3)Harakiri
4)The Shining
5) Oldboy
6) GoodFellas
7) Parasite
8) Spirited Away
9) High and Low
10) Brazil
11) Social Network
12) The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
13) The 400 Blows
14) The Host
15) No Country for Old Men
16) Alien
17) The Thing
18) The Big Lebowski
19) Ikiru
20) 2001: A Space Oddyssey
Very nice list
Tampopo has to be one of my all time favourite films.
I believe this is so true. I can’t get enough him❤💛💚💯
1) Fight club 2) apocalypse now 3) pulp fiction 4) clockwork orange 5) full metal jacket
Good list. Apocalypse Now and A Clockwork Orange are masterpieces!

4) The Truman Show / The Mask
5) Up in the Air / You've Got Mail / The Big Lebowski

1- Into The Wild
2- The Impossible
3- Rabbitproof fence
4- The Painted Veil

In the same way that Edward Norton singles out 'King of Comedy' as one of Scorsese's underrated best, I'd single out 'Leaves of Grass' as one of Norton's underrated best. I understand what people see in his performances in AHX & Primal Fear, but to me he really takes flight with Leaves of Grass. It's exceptional work & my favourite of Ed Norton's--right up there with Birdman as the best work he's ever done.
Won't you even consider Fight Club?
@@supptk It is what it is. I mean, it's Ed Norton so Fight Club is very good. It's very good. But he has a little sandpile of performances that stop me in my tracks, & while FC is very good it's not in the little sandpile haha. IMO. I also thought he was a standout in a cast of standouts in Moonrise Kingdom.
@@johnnydtractive Yeah ok I agree. Imma see Leaves of Grass and Moonrise Kingdom now. But I highly recommend Birdman. It was DAYUMN!
