Thank you for watching! :)

Love how right after Scorsese got on Letterboxd, Karsten deleted his old Mean Streets review 💀
Oh shit, was it ignorant af? Tag me in the reupload
what was it?
"As someone who knows a thing or two about the mean streets because he grew up on them, let me tell you: Mr. Scorsese, your movie stinks! 😏"
@@Arawn2020 Jesus…
@@Able406 it was "The streets sure were mean!" with 3 stars
In order to gain karskin’s approval you need to pick something that
1.) isn’t overly popular or too highly thought of
2.) isn’t assigned in film school (did he mention he went to film school)
3.) conversely, if Karst hasn’t heard of it that’s gonna lose you some points
4.) if your movies don’t relate to eachother, they’re “all over the place”
5.) if your movies relate too much of eachother, you’re “stuck” in the genre or decade they share
Yeah, that's the problem with this whole video concept, it can only be done as a joke or by someone with no self awareness
@@gyg_pa9381 exact! I love watching this guy, cuz he is one of the few movie youtubers that gives me regular cinephile content in an organized and quality manner. But a lot of his videos are either done in a persona as a joke, or he is actually this oblivious about himself and his opinions/values.
I genuinely think he is the kinda dude who has been in years of inter-therapy to stop himself from designating anyone who doesn't watch some random amount of movies from an arbitrary self-made list of films as: 'not real movie fans'
@@gaufkyeself I feel like I stay on imdb instead of moving to letterboxed for this reason, the whole social media for conephiles thing sounds fun but there seems to he a bit of a circle jerk going on there so I'll stick to rating the movies for myself so I don't forget what I watched.
That being said I did go there to see that list of movies scorsese reccomeded, so I have my next couple weeks of movies
Edit: that sounds more judgemental than intended, tbh I was just too lazy to move my long af watchlist from imdb
@@gaufkyeself He’s a boring guy who takes himself too seriously. He has no authority to dismiss anyone’s opinions or tastes considering his most popular video on his channel is a pretentious insight into a silly kid’s cartoon. I checked out his letterboxd and it’s just as formulaic as any other film school snob so I don’t know why he’s chastising others.
@@ontheturningawayI blocked his Letterboxd. His unfunny reviews are everywhere.
Unfortunate how no celebrities are brave enough to put hoodwinked in their top 4
cowards
Love to see a fellow hoodwanker in the wild ❤️
@@rileylannin2256 damn💀💀
you are right hahaha
Not even Shark Tale
I mean you gotta acknowledge the fact that people interpret the top 4 favorites thing differently. Some people see it as 4 movies they can never get bored of, or 4 life-changing movies.
true!!
Exactly! Mine are just four movies that I love. Some of those reasons are simply because they have a special memory associated with them
And some people change it to the best films they've watch per month.
I do both
yeah and I think that's on purpose. "top 4" is very vague, it can be interpreted in a ton of ways
Bro just because the movies picked don’t relate to each other doesn’t mean they are all over the place 😭
He said Keanu Reeves needs to branch out and immediately said his choices are all over the place. Makes no sense.
Me with The Godfather (juggernaut of a classic), Woman in the Dunes (foreign/ non-English classic), Thunder Road (recent indie, quirky movie) and Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (forgotten, low budget, campy Horror movie). 🤷♂
it's not that serious
Cinephiles will always look down on people with mainstream or “basic” taste. I’m steeped in classical music and see the same thing there: if your favorite piece is the Moonlight sonata or Clair De Lune or Rach’s 2nd Concerto, your opinion is considered invalid, even though those are all incredibly beautiful and reasonable to favor. The mature attitude is to ignore popularity completely and give everything a chance.
It's the definition of pretentiousness to take pride in liking demanding music or movies just to use it as a flex
It's the definition of authenticity when actually talented people recognize the value of accessible stuff, true artists can see artistic value everywhere
Marty passing up Karsten on Letterboxd in one day was symbolic. The cream always rises to the top and real cinema will always win.
“The cream always rises to the top” 😭
So, is this true? I see quite a lot of people commenting things like this but I tried looking up Martin Scorsese on Letterboxd and can’t tell which one is real, if any? Is this true, or you all just memeing lol?
@@claytonharbaugh308 it’s real his user is “mscorsese.” But I also am memeing about the significance though it’s just funny
@@claytonharbaugh308 Yes it is real, it was in the Letterboxd newsletter last week- it was in the subject line as well. His username is mscorsese
@@claytonharbaugh308 It's true, all of it
This is actually a nice break. Maybe the next video could be roasting popular users.
Love this ideaaa
Like schaffrillas and 24 frames of nick
I like Maria. She always gave thirsty reviews 😂
Last time i saw, she used Gregory Peck PP with rainbow background
People are allowed to have popular movies in their top 4. I mean, shit, they're usually popular for a reason. Pulp Fiction is fucking amazing.
Yeah but when they pick all four which are all so mainstream and widely known it just looks like they’ve never branched out to anything unique in their lives lol
@@katandra8819 What if Godfather 1, 2 and 3 are your top 3 favorite films of all time?
@@carlwagner2049 valid opinion and I suppose it probably applies to most of the population lol. I guess I just believe that sometimes genius and beauty can arise in the most unknown films and can deeply relate to the viewer, so developing your palette is quite important to having a richer life. idk godfather rules but watching brando’s lesser-known works can widen your perspective
@@katandra8819 I'll agree that there might be a movie out there made specifically for me that isn't very popular and if I watched it, it would become my new #1 (surpassing Pulp Fiction). The challenge is, of course, finding those hidden gems.

Bro’s logic be like: a person loves a universally loved movie = they don’t care about movies
Weyes Blood's top 4 really is intimidating. Girlie really said, "I love movies."
I was not able to read all the titles. Do you mind telling me?
Weyes Blood top 4 make me like her MORE.
I think she has the best top 4 tbh.
Possession being in the top 4 is kind of boring but at the same don't we all love Possession?
But her putting Paul Schader's Hardcore into her top 4 is something I didn't expect and I have to respect her for that.
@@QuestionsIAskMyself
1. Taking Off by Miloš Forman
2. Possession
3. Hardcore by Paul Schrader with George C. Scott.
4. Siberiade (her favorite film)
I LOOOOVE MOOOOVIES 🎶
Serpico makes total sense in Keanu’s top 4. It’s super 70s film bro, lived in young men’s head rent free for decades. It’s only lost that reputation recently
This is your snobbiest video yet, congrats
It's accepted wisdom that blocking @KarstenRunquist on letterboxd improves user experience 18% - 33%.
1. Fellowship
2. Two Towers
3. RotK
4. The Emoji Movie
That last pick is vile
IDC if it's ironic 💀
Respect for the trilogy tho
Based
Tolkien wishes he could have written a story as epic and emotionally impactful as The Emoji Movie
Revenge of the Ksiths is great
Minions, Shrek the Third, Blade Runner 2049, Cats
tf is wrong with liking films that "are freshmen year film school" ??? damn pretentious film students are annoying af
Just by the way he talks I can already tell he thinks his opinions are superior because he watches some obscure art house films watched by a total of 1000 people around the globe.
This is such a terminally online reading
How
Marty took his throne and this man cannot take it
Suffered through your smarminess because I was curious about all of their picks
Same
its almost like celebrities don't need to compensate for their lack of success by having quirky, obscure films as their top 4 of all time.
Peace n’ love, jus joking around 🤙
You said it
lmao right
lmao this guy sits on Letterboxd all day, what do we expect from pretentious film students
Lmao the Weyes Blood mention was very surprising but appreciated. One of the best songwriters of our generation
Ethan Hawk and Toni Collette having the most genuine lists and coming off as the most genuine people tracks
The fact that Nick Cage has Juliet of the Spirits on there redeems whatever unoriginality one might find in the others. It’s one of Fellini’s most challenging films and I think it just might be his best. It was his first color film and he knocked it out of the park. For whatever reason it’s extremely under-appreciated so I applaud Cage for giving it the respect it deserves.
I was thinking the exact same thing
"I feel like these are all movies Toni Collette could have been in, and would have been perfect in" you are actually so right
"we can do better than Jurassic Park." Can we?
Like, if you have to have a designated "blockbuster I watch constantly" pick, there aren't that many better options (except maybe one of the Indiana Jones, but I've always preferred JP personally)
Jaws.
I love how it's one of the movies that it's considered the best of all time but if it's not one of your personal favorites, you think the other guy doesn't like movies enough for a more unique answer. Let people enjoy good movies
But, according to Karsten, if JLaw put Jaws then her list is invalid because it’s too popular of a movie
😂😂
I didn’t like the approach u took particularly in this video, I understand that choosing films like The Godfather or Pulp Fiction as your favorite is pretty stereotypical and seems non genuine, but those films have the recognition that they have cuz of their quality or impact, for me it's totally valid, not everyone has to have a top 4 of movies that only snob ppl have seen.
My top 4 movies of 2023 I saw in theaters (It's been a wacky year):
1. Cocaine Bear
2. Across the Spiderverse
3. Beau is Afraid
4. Barbie
My top 4 comfort movies:
1. Howl's Moving Castle
2. Moonrise Kingdom
3. The Lost Boys
4. The Birdcage
My top 4 thought provoking movies:
1. Being John Malkovich
2. District 9
3. The Truman Show
4. Parasite
Respect for Cocaine Bear
Howl's is such a perfect comfort movie.
The sentiment in the film/anime community that your top 4 movies/shows can’t be ones that are overtly “popular” is something I will never understand. I’ve watched a decent amount of drama or art house films. And yet I would still put Star Wars and Lord of The Rings in my top 4.
It's a two-way street. Not everything that's popular is good, while being popular doesn't mean it isn't. There's classics I hate and others I love, same goes for anime, arthouse movies, silent films, budget horror movies and blockbusters.
i hate that you reduce liking a film to being in a spefici category of someone who watches films(like those daddy films,mommy films,bro film)they might just like that film and that is all
Sorry their picks aren't as pretentious as yours. Not everyone calculates their picks to make themselves look "sophisticated."
LOOL fr. He wants to be unique and acts like he is above these people, yet he has most of these movies at a 4.5 or 5
No you fail to understand. The most widespread and loved movies that millions all over the world love are wrong, this random 4 hour long movie about an exploration of depression is true cinema
this question is so hard because 4 movies i enjoy watching most / 4 movies i like most for their value (aesthetics, story, DP) / 4 movies that marked me most are so wildly different. thankfully no one will ever ask me
what are your 4 favourite movies?
^
^
name your top 4 movies right NOW
bruh, zero "romy amd michelle's high school reunion" in these top 4s is a definition of a failure as a society
This seems like a really bizarre take on people's 4 top movies, to be honest, to the point where I'm rethinking how much I like your other takes on film.
Mf it is a joke
It’s a fun jokey concept vid. Hope this helps
@@lilymaria2681 well seems like 75 people agree with me soooo
@@cecilabbott6092 jokes are funny
@@GuiltyUniverse I’m glad for you!
I’ve determined that the only applaudable top 4 list one can have must be slightly obscure to the casual viewer, off kilter to the avid watcher and challenging to the critic, OR must be a high quality shit post ranking that demands respect. Pure objective vs subjective discussion that is beautiful
I think it's so interesting what people choose in their "favorite 4" because even how they interpret that choice shows something about how they think.
Somehow, Karsten returned...
Please get to know me really well over 5 or 6 months and then roast me on a personal level
I think a Dad Top 4 would have either a movie with John Wayne or Clint Eastwood on Matt Damon’s top 4
This video gave me depression. But my favourite movie is Back To The Future so apparently I'm retarded
Don't sweat it kid mine is number one is Die Hard 2 dirty harry 3 lethal weapon 2 and last but not least commando so i just like action movies you like what you like everybody likes something so don't get depressed just watch what you want to watch and i watch what i want to if they going to roast us i let em because i just don't give a fuck anymore

don't mind that down there i just got this computer
I actually watched all of the movies from Cillian's top 4 with my dad
Mine are: aliens, nausicaa, memories of murder and hot fuzz :) I love so many movies though its nearly impossible to choose only four! Id love for people to reply with theirs cause i dont have letterbox- no judgement! Everyone has different taste and its interesting
Based. Memories Of Murder is probably the best movie of all time (even if Memento is my favourite). Its probably one of the most neutral looks at these flawed characters. Showing the detectives good hearts and determination to keep the city safe while also showing their sins like torturing and abusing suspects and being kind of jackasses. You are able to sympathise and support these good hearted characters while also not being blind to their unethical actions. I also like how it can be funny while not being out of place in this serious movie. Plus the tunnel scene is peak.
@@Something29292 you get it👌
Even tho I'm only crazy about memories of murder out of your 4, I still really like your picks because of the diversity. I don't get having to have all picks be related, like here doing the opposite is what makes your picks compelling.
@@FrogeFellaGood picks
Mine would be Memento, Memories Of Murder, The Green Mile, and Shawshank Redemption
All extremely goated picks. Much respect for Nausicaa. Princess Mononoke has been my personal number one ever since I saw it as a kid and probably always will be.
Aliens is great, Alien may be in my top 20. The Thing (1982), however, is probably my top horror film.
And more recently Once Upon a Time in Hollywood has become my go to comfort movie to watch and may have replaced Django Unchained as my fave of his.
There’s so many more I could mention that I’ll just leave it at that. There are a lot of amazing movies out there, and the ones I love most are pretty much always changing aside from a few constant locks. With a top 4-5 to me it’s more interesting as a showcase of variety where each is a unique experience that represents the taste and yours def gives me an understanding that we have common tastes lol.
I mean, when you put it how they don’t watch movies, I can see it make sense. Movies are their work, and maybe after being veterans of the field, you wanna branch out possibly. I can definitely see some of the celebs being cinephiles, but I totally understand some of themselves not wanting to watch movies after so long making them.
Well it's more so these were the movies THEY GREW UP WITH. Karsten is the kind of person who thinks your not as cool as him if you don't know an indie film he's seen and would call you out for not watching it
Jason momoa's list is unironicly all bangers
great video! made me think of my own top 4; would be Spider-man 2 (2004), The Nice Guys, Palm Springs, and The Social Network
My Top 10 Favorite Films of All Time
1. Good Will Hunting
2. The Nice Guys
3. American Psycho
4. Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl
5. The Thing
6. Nine Days
7. Evil Dead II
8. The Lighthouse
9. Schindler’s List
10. Before Sunrise
The Nice Guys at 2 ??! Bro
That’s awesome! My top 10 would probably be something like this:
1) Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse
2) The Incredibles
3) Ratatouille
4) Pulp Fiction
5) Spider-Man (2002)
6) Spider-Man 2 (2004)
7) The Matrix
8) Rocky
9) A Clockwork Orange
10) Catch Me If You Can
@@Shad0wxBr It hits for me visually, the comedy, the story, and the characters. I stand behind if there was no comedic elements in the film, the mystery would still be good.
@@onepresence9460 Love me some Sam Raimi
@@onepresence9460 great list, but across the spider verse > into the spider verse.
Love how he craps on people’s film preferences.
How can they not have 4 pretensious black and white movies where the dialog is written backwards and every sence is atleast 15 minutes long
LMFAOOOO
Let people live 😭
Pretentious
this channel in a nutshell
Scorsese now got the most followers on box
Fyi you cannot get better than Jurassic Park for Spielberg
Jaws
So true so true 😂
Do The Right Thing has massive rewatchability m8
Nic definitely just named some movies from the top of his head, definitelymovies he loves but probably not his all time favourites, otherwise The Cabinet of Dr Caligari would be on there
ethan hawke one is too fucking accurate xD
God this video is violently pretentious
this *channel*
We need more of these videos lol
you can’t put famous films in your top 4 anymore? you can’t put fight club and there will be blood? wtf lol
solid list by jason
My personal top four favorites would be:
1) Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse
2) The Incredibles
3) Ratatouille
4) Pulp Fiction
I’m curious and interested to see everyone’s top four list 😁
Nice! At this moment:
1) Hoop Dreams (favorite doc)
2) City of God (favorite international film)
3) City Lights (oldest favorite movie)
4) Aftersun (newest favorite movie)
1. Umbrellas of Cherbourg
2. Rushmore
3. Being John Malkovich
4. But I’m a cheerleader
With no particular order:
1) Before Sunrise
2) Coraline
3) Trick r Treat
4) Los insólitos peces gato
1. Still walking
2. Cure
3. The florida project
4. The sacred deer
it changes soo much but rn ( pls roast me or don't )
1. sing street
2. dead poets society
3. mononoke
4. either fantastic mr fox/the royal tenenbaums it's hard to pick one
one of my favorite singers (del water gap) was interviewed and he had a fire top 4
As someone who was scared s*itless as a kid by Jurassic Park & couldn't sleep at night, I can't agree it is a "cozy" & "comfort" movie.
Karsten would absolutely destroy me if he saw my top 4
Oh man same 😂
Your opinions on others Top 4 says more about you than your own Top 4
Good point! I don't know him enough if this was satirical or not, but if not, his top 4 is for sure extremely calculated in order to show off.
Bro hates on someone if they like a popular movie
3:30 In other words, he's literally you 😂😂😂.
insufferable
Karsten when celebrities are actually real people and like popular movies: 😡
Why dog on these people for not being niche enough? I mean, 2001 is frequntly in these top 4's because it's a great movie.
1) The Prince of Egypt.
2) Whiplash.
3) La mala educación.
4) The Castle of Cagliostro.
My top 4 changes everytime because I love movies way too much.
Hell yeah, cagliostro is so good. I'll take Mystery of Mamo over it any day but Mamo is objectively worse.
Bro is mad at nick cage just cause he has better taste then him
I think the entire concept of the four favorites is fun but using it as a judgement of actual taste in all of cinema is like asking someone the four things they do in a day and then telling them they have no life
Jeff Goldblum might as well slap Citizen Kane on his list😂
remember everyone, he looked at his phone in Killers of the Flower Moon 😮💨
i want karsten to roast my dad's letterboxd
Juliet of the Spirits is a masterpiece
Ye, Nick Cage wins by putting it on his list.
Love how he rips people for cliche favorites as he has Three Colors poster behind him 😂
I hate that you can only put 4 on letterboxd's top, but I understand the UX of it all. Mine's Arrival, Pacific Rim, Paterson and Bacurau. I'd love to be abke to put Apocalypse Now in there
maybe this is what i need.
Was really hoping one of these celebs would choose four movies where they were the star or director
this dude pisses me off
This man just said the worst opinions about top fours i have ever seen. Loved the video.
Donnie Darko, A Bronx Tale, Dinner Rush and Office Space
Btw whats wrong w Harold & Maude and 2001?
5:47 atleast he was in dune and he was great in it
What’s wrong with serpico being a favorite of Keanu reeves?
Seems like you've gotten a glow-up. Congratulations.
The French Connection, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Superman, Boyz N The Hood
I'm curious what everyone's top four here is! 🙂 At the moment mine would be:
No Country For Old Men | The Godfather | Boogie Nights | Goodfellas
La La Land, Hot Fuzz, Before Sunset, Across the Spider-Verse
Spirited Away, Fantastic Mr Fox, Batman Mask of the Phantasm, The Iron Giant
Taxi Driver / Beauty and The Beast (1946) / Bird With The Crystal Plumage / Shaun Of The Dead
Great list! Here’s mine:
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse | The Incredibles | Ratatoullie | Pulp Fiction
Grand Budapest, Lebowski, Lighthouse, Amadeus.
You seem fun at parties ngl
midnight cowboy is in my top four as well
rn in my life i'd say, Fresh, Princess bride, gaurdians of the galaxy 3, and superbad
Brendan Fraser and Darren Aronofsky have some neat ones
"We can do better than Jurassic Park." No. No sir we cannot.
Happy Halloween!
Who does this guy think he is 😭
I still need to watch Midnight Cowboy..
I‘ll just use this opportunity to say that Shark Tale is in my top 4.
1. phantom thread
2. blue velvet
3. the sound of music
4. nope
Wait, what is this Jurassic Park shade coming from Karsten??
Right off the bat with an L Jurassic Park take...big fan...
-Open Season 3
-Trolls World Tour
-Fantastica: A Boonie Bears Adveure
-Iriversable
You talk a lot of game for someone who looks like they just unlocked the facial hair expansion pack in life.
What does it mean if my top 4 currently are Barbie, Django: Unchained, Scott Pilgrim, and Bottoms?
