Hey everybody! Thanks for watching this video on, "The Ultimate Horror, Comedy, Rock-Opera! Phantom of the Paradise". Today I'm writing a little love letter // recommendation to one of my favorite movies ever. Phantom of the Paradise has a little bit of something for everyone. It's a twisted, funny, scary, musical with one of the best soundtracks ever. Check it out if you haven't.

I couple of fun facts:
Daft Punk cite this movie as one of the inspirations for their Random Access Memories album.
Edgar Wright is apparently a huge fan of the movie and cast Paul Williams for a role in Baby Driver, because of this.
The late Kentaro Miura, creator of Berserk, based the design for Femto on the look of the Phantom of Paradise.
Del Toro also loves this movie to death. He post pictures of his little collection for the film on his twitter and it makes me happy that cool people appreciate this film.
My Chemical Romance also took inspiration, apparently. Some of the lyrics to Phantom's Theme are referenced in "Sleep" from The Black Parade, and Gerard Way did a really cool drawing of Winslow a while back!
I got into this movie around the same time as I started watching Rocky Horror. I never understood why one is so obscure and one is a legendary cult hit.
Same & same!!!
This is awesome!!!
It's actually because Rocky Horror and Phantom were shown together for a while back-to-back as a double feature on the midnight movies circuit. The audience found Rocky Horror more engaging, in terms of campy sing-along quality; but also because Phantom was shown second, and most people don't stick around for the second feature, so most audiences tended to clear out after Rocky Horror.

Not only that but there was the whole audience participation element that grew up around the movie where people brought their own props, rice, water guns, toast, etc. and developed lines that responded to what was happening on screen.
It became a whole thing that you wouldn't really want with Phantom because it's just a good movie without all that stuff.
@@ericisprobablyfullofshit7797 precisely, that's why I said they found it more engaging (as in they liked to engage with it in such a way); and as a side note, I read that apparently in...Winnipeg, or maybe Regina? Some Canadian city, there's actually a big cult following around Phantom of the Paradise, so that they even have an annual screening where people show up dressed as the Phantom and other characters from that movie as well.

Yeah, it's Winnipeg.
They love that movie there.
Even though I'm from the States I'm starting to think that Winnipeg might be my spiritual home. 🤭
it’s so interesting to think about how this inspired berserk’s griffith/femto’s look, so iconic
Oh, so it wasn’t only me who was thinking about Griffith XD
"...that will stay with you for a few days."
Or in my case 49 years. 😊
I saw this in the theater when I was 7 years old and I still love the hell out of this movie.
The movie that birthed the Daft Punk we know and love today. I love this movie
I love this movie, Beef is a beautiful creature and Winslow is an agent of chaos. I watched this with a group of friends, and every time Winslow runs in the film, we would die laughing
Thank you for appreciating this fantastic movie. It is one of my all-time favourites
The closing track "The Hell of it" has been one of my all time faves since I caught this on a VHS tape in the 80's
Dude nobody ever talks about this masterpeice!!! I love rocky horror and everything mabye even more but this movie is just so fucking amazing!!!
I saw this movie when it was in theaters and absolutely LOVED it. The performances are first-rate, and the songs are great (written by Paul Williams, duh, how could they be anything but). I watch it whenever I need a boost. So well done! So underrated.
I've never seen this but for some reason remembered the ads for it ("he sold his soul for rock n roll") yesterday, then this video came up purely by chance.
so thankful you made this video. my dad showed me it as a kid and i’ve been quietly obsessed my whole life. cheers!
I discovered this film 2 years ago, never heard of it. Once I saw some of the frenetic shots and heard the amazing music especially the "Phantoms' Theme" (one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard) I was hooked and ordered it on blu-ray.
I love Phantom Of The Paradise, such a great movie
I was born in 1984 and this is my earliest memory of me loving a movie. My parents said that when I was 2 I couldn’t help but be glued to the tv when this was on. Also that I would ask for them to put it on constantly. Through the years I still put it on. To this day it is my favorite movie of all time mainly for nostalgic reasons. Fantastic video BTW!
Absolutely going to watch this later!!
Always loved the whole “Swan”-“Satan” thing
This is my all time musical!!!!!!!! I love it so much!!!!! I was literally going through channels one night and came across this movie and fell in love!!!!
Same ,exactly like that.
Yesssss I’m here for any phantom of the paradise content😤 death records forever
from all the wonderful songs in this soundtrack, the one i like the most is The hell of it, absolutelly slaps and the lyrics relate nicely with the plot of the movie
Coincidentally, I watched this for the first time only a couple days before finding this channel. This film deserves more attention.
Absolutely love this movie! Definitely my 2nd favorite horror musical, just behind the original Wicker Man (yes I'm completely serious)
Wait a minute, Mr. Puttermen. . . And Paul also wrote Old Fashion Love Song by Three Dog Night.
Never heard of this before definitely will check it out
I saw PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE at the theatre when it was first released, and was totally gobsmacked! I’ve owned the VHS tape, I still have the DVD and the CD soundtrack. I’ve written about it in Scary Monsters magazine. For decades, I’ve said that if ROCKY HORROR didn’t exist, PHANTOM would have taken on a different life and filled the void. The look of the film, the sets, the colour scheme, the costumes (especially the mask!), the script, everything comes together in a way that films rarely do these days. Then, there’s the music: The best thing about the film is that Paul Williams wrote the music, and the worst thing about it is that Paul Williams wrote the music. Make of that what you will.
Thanks for the recommendation. Just saw it on Blu-ray. Loved it. Thank you! ❤️🦊🍍
Paul Williams and his sweet ass hair. How can you go wrong?
This film along with "Rosemary's Baby" tried to pull your coat to what the entertainment business is all about ! It's amazing that folks don't get it 👿 !
My favorite movie ever! Own the VHS and the phono record since I was 7. Def an hidden 💎
“oh this is too much, I guess you’re suppose to be the devil” 👹
I need to rewatch it sometime. Such a crazy movie.
will have to check it out! thanks for highlighting it
I just baught this on DVD. Its been at least 15 years since I've watched it in its entirety. LOVE IT!!! Your review is spot on. I couldn't agree more! Great job!👍
An underrated classic! I love this movie. When it comes to the original novel and most adaptations of it, I think Christine should either end up with Raoul or better yet, ditch both men and go on to have a fabulous career instead. But this movie? I'm like, "Winslow and Phoenix forever." Not only are they a genuinely sweet take on the Phantom/Christine pairing, they're presented as soulmates who are so in love they reincarnate throughout the ages to find each other again and again, which is a romance trope I absolutely adore.
I love this movie so much. I even got to tell Paul Williams at comic con ❤
I watched this movie back in the 90s as a kid several times. After looking back after 30 years and I do agree that this movie is a classic. I think this movie was 10 years ahead of its time because Rock wasn't as big during the Disco era.
Its interesting seeing this movie pick up traction recently. I don't like it as much as Rocky Horror Picture Show but its pretty good on its own
Carburetors man, that's what life is all about. - a guy about to do the best at karaoke
Yeah dude. I've loved this movie for years. Your review is spot-on.
Where is this movie streaming?
This should have been the cult musical from the 70s! Beats RHPS by a mile!
This movie tripped me the fuck out
paul also did bugsy malone the singing parts.
Thanks, I'll definitely check this put
Bless ya for giving this film some limelight. I agree with practically everything you said about it, especially that there's something for everyone in it. This has been one of my absolute favorite horror movies for a while and it's often overlooked in favor of RHPS (no shade towards that movie and it's fans).
Love love love this movie!!❤
My dear, you have presented a truly introduction to that beloved Galaxy Brain Paul Williams. Well done.
I heard about this movie and few years ago and it always sat in the back of my mind, but I didn't get around to watching it until a few weeks ago, and I am so glad I did because it's just one of those movies that hits so many beats that it feels like it was made specifically for me
I'm from Winnipeg and grew up in the 70's. Yup...seen that! I assume you know that Winnipeg is hosting the 50th anniversary event. 50?!? WOW!!!
ONE Correction... While Paul Williams did write the songs, the (mood) music score was written by George Aliceson Tipton, who is credited at the end of the movie. Mind you,I have heard that the wedding scene music was written by Paul. Bit of confusion with that.
I remember seeing Phantom... with my siblings, when it came out. After the end, I swore I'd NEVER see it again. It totally grossed me out. I must've gotten over it though since I've since seen it....I can't count how many times after.
This one was actually the first obvious Phantom adaptation that I saw, and it's what got me really into it! Still a favorite of mine!
If this film was as successful as Rocky Horror, it would’ve gotten a Broadway production (with a full soundtrack and new songs) and a remake based on the Broadway musical, similar to Hairspray.
Rocky Horror was initially a Broadway musical which helped it A LOT.
I wonder if Andrew Lloyd Webber would be pissed if this came out on Broadway though.
This is by far my favorite musical
This has been on my watch list since I found out about it
One of my faves, love the soundtrack. Paul Williams is great
My favorite movie hands down
it's not really horror but the thumbnail made me think of Hedwig and the Angry Inch, that was a wild ride of a film
thank you
One of my favorite movies of all time!
One of my favourite movies of all time.... Hell of a film worth repeat viewing for the love story, the banging music and the amazing acting ( mostly). Go and watch it right now !
ok the real hot take tho was calling sweeney todd a mediocre movie
I am not a fan of musicals whatsoever, but Phantom of the Paradise is my favorite musical, and one of my favorite films of all time. (fun fact, Daft Punk was also extremely inspired by the movie to make music)
Ok. Dawg!
It’s not my fault it wasn’t a hit in 1974. I saw it 5 or 6 times then.
It’s a movie inspired by/a variant of phantom of the opera right? Or am I dum
Any one see how this movie influenced "BERSERK" ?
The manga?
I prefer Rocky Horror Picture Show, but this one is really cool and solid too!
0:05 what was that movie
Please make a video about blackbear. BTW love you videos
Rocky is much better than phantom. That's why everyone has heard of Rocky. Phantom is ok, best part of it is Jessica Harper. Still prefer her doing Richard O'Brien tunes ala shock treatment.
I cannot wait to rent this! But I do find it odd that you should downcast capitalism. After all, you get paid by a less than fair corporation called RUclips. Don't you think it would be fair if many of your viewers were given to lesser channels? Or will you claim that you worked for those? (And you did, so they are rightly awarded to you.) And what about the money you make from this channel? Would it not be fair to give some, indeed most of that money to others who are less fortunate? Capitalism is FAR from perfect, but it is the best system so far- or would you prefer the system I formerly spoke of, known as socialism? Careful what you wish for friend- it can always get worse.
Regardless, I shall feed the capitalist machine by giving you a watch. You have good taste... in music.
Ugh...you've got lead with an indictment of capitalism. That's going to be a turn-off to a lot of viewers, but hey, you do you.
This movie is on Comet right now. Dear lord it sucks so bad
