I've never seen this movie, but you make me curious to see it. Very clever intro, by the way. The history is so interesting. Not sure I would be able to see some of the Vietnam act...but thanks for the great review! 😊
It is definitely a tough film, but I think it’s worth watching. I’m so glad you enjoyed the intro!
Wow, I need to watch this!
Let me know what you think!
Very interesting!
New channel? Looks promising. A couple of things though (with most respect): the content and editting looks good, the script is good, but your reading of it... let's just say it reminded me of the first text to speach modules from windows xp 😂. You seem a little stiff, and like it was all done in one uninterrupted sitting regardless of result. Take your time, edit out the mistakes, do vocal warm up exercises before recording. Don't make it look like a kid reading his presentation in front of the class. Look at the camera in segments where your face is visible. A good example for me is the Technology Connections channel. And (although not everyone likes it) think about adding a soft background music with VERY LOW VOLUME (don't make a tiktok of it). Keept it up! 👍
Thanks for the constructive criticism. Yes, my delivery is pretty weak, and is one of the reasons why I make these videos; to improve my speaking. I've got a LONG way to go, but believe it or not, it used to be a lot worse!
Love the dandelion ~ lit up in that shot ~ so pretty. Great review, so detailed and entertaining. Thank you!
Thank you!
I have never seen this movie so I guess I've been living under a rock. 🤣The worst mom - that alone would make me curious enough to want to see it. Wow, didn't know that about Sinatra. 🙄 Thank you for such an entertaining and thorough review!
Watch the original with Sinatra and Lansbury. The remake with Denzel Washington is not as good, imo.
I completely agree. As I watch these top 100 Films I find myself gravitating toward older movies in general.
What an excellent and entertaining review! So captivating ~ thank you! 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
Whoa!! These connections are nuts!
I almost couldn't believe when I was first reading about it. A great example of truth being stranger than fiction!
The sidekick! 😂
I didn't know the ending before watching it, but was warned I wouldn't like it. Even prepared, I wasn't ready. 😳
When I watched it, I didn't know about the ending, AND wasn't warned about it. I was truly shocked.
Very cool - need to watch it now- thanks
Let me know what you think!
I've never seen The French Connection, but I appreciate your thorough review of The Top 100 Films. Intriguing and entertaining review! Thank you.😊
You’re welcome!
You must live under a rock
@@phillipscott7198 That's funny ~ just not that big on moves in the past. My husband is, though.
I haven't seen it, but now I want to see it after this review. Thank you.
Let me know what you think!
Spellbinding
Ooh, good word! I’ll try to use that in a sentence today
This movie ughhhhhh…. The ending! I liked the movie overall though and still is worth the watch.
Yup, I get it!
I am definitely going to watch this ~ thanks for such a great review. The history is so interesting! 🧡
Let me know what you think!
@@thetop100films Will do.
I never realized there was a MASH movie, I've only seen the show! Nice.
The movie is definitely darker, but still a fun watch.
Very interesting! I'll have to watch it. Also, LOVE your mug! link?
Thank you, I designed it myself! thefoundersflag.com/products/texas-wildflower-flag-white-glossy-mug-2
Wow! That's a lot of devices...I have no clue how many we have, but I don't think it's that many. 😊 Great review - thanks!
😊 Excellent review - very interesting analogy ~ will have to check out the movie. BTW, I like your coffee mug ~ where did you get it? Nope, no guess on the next one. LOL
Thank you! I created this mug. You can find it here: thefoundersflag.com/products/texas-wildflower-flag-white-glossy-mug-2
@@thetop100films Cool ~ thanks!

Awesome movie, and great review.
Wow what a great review! I have seen Ben Hur, but now I want to watch it again. I really enjoyed the analogy. I have no idea what the next movie will be. Lol. Thanks.
