i feel like he could start crying at any given moment
PsychedelicPanzershrek But like only one stifled sob with an almost straight face, a few tears. Nothing too overt...
No that's Emma Watson.
Hahahhaha
Why? Ramona dumped him again?
Hes high
He talks about and holds the movies like he's an old wine connoisseur
Benny Duncan Good movies age like fine wine though lol
just wot?
Benny Duncan how else are you supposed to?
I do too. My movies are life.
AHHHH THE FRENCH
He's been working on that moustache for 6 years now.
Or here's a thought. He shaves and it grows back.
tkregrett That's not as funny a thought though, thus no reason to post it. Imagine scrolling through the comments and seeing someone say, "I bet he shaves that moustache and it keeps growing back."
+tkregrett Do you have any friends?
+aenteralus Ha! Love the "humdrum logic" quote. I believe I'll borrow that one for a near future engagement. 👍👍!!
+brian0918 HAHAHAHA - brilliant comment. I've seen 9 years olds manlier than this guy.
I like how he says "the little kid shit his pants" as a way of persuading us to watch Good Morning.
TXDRMST "The kid shits his pants...it's really cute"
It worked, that sounds funny as fuck
It made me fart..
Well it sold me on it, didn't it for you? Nah it actually didn't sell anyone on it.
Yeah, he had me up til that point.
Michael Cera should make a youtube chanel talking about movies
Yeps he should 😎😆
He absolutely should.
I'd subscribe to that lol
oh man hahahahahahahhahaha melon
Wish he would. He's really articulate and clearly knows what he's talking about.
Michael Cera guaranteeing his friends a fun time watching a movie and all of them thinking its off sounds like a really Michael Cera thing to do
I portrayed Michael Cera as Mark Lindsay; he was one of the members of this Sentimental/Radical 60s teen rock group called Paul Revere and the Raiders. I did it as a form of a reenactment about what was going on with the Batman TV series and children's CBS Saturday morning cartoon series, on and off the set.
Its almost like he's still in Superbad
I've had the same theory about Klaus Kinski and Aguirre.
startervisions Best comment of the day.
@@PinkFloydrulez who?
@@ThisIsGoogle The guy who drunk to much alcohol and behaved like a complete maniac offstage.
I think he still is
I feel like Michael Cera never intended to act but ended up in the wrong place at the wrong time and was to awkward to tell them he wasn't an actor so just filmed stuff anyway and now he let it go too far and cant back out
+success that sounds exactly like something michael cera would do, in a movie.
Original man ☺️
+success Nice copy bro. ;)
Fuck you
Now you've said that i have mentally gave him that backstory and will assume that is 100% what happened
This guy doesn't age.
Much like a great film
asdfghjkl9260 He's only 27. What would you expect?
Abou Diaby I want Cera and Jonah Hill to trade bodies but keep their personalities
+asdfghjkl9260 Yeah, no matter how much time passes he still looks creepy as fuck...
hes 28
A little Michael Cera never hurts
Sokka2Me It always hurts me...
Clay3613 Aww, poor you.
Clay3613 Use more LUBE!
Thats what she said
That's the only size they come in.
He knows his shit
Yeah, such a cool dude

No
Thanks for the annotations. Much appreciated.
His voice just can't get anymore soothing.
like how your head can't get any more giant. holy fuck that thing is big.
I didn't realise Michael Cera had so many interesting things to say. I've always thought of him as that awkward comedy actor. Mind blown!
He must be Jesse Eisenberg's adopted brother.
Onmysheet Michael Cera > Jesse Eisenberg
Jonah Adams Eisenberg is got all the screen though,
thats why its called acting
+Dork Born wym you met him ON. Did you work on movie
just the fact that michael cera exists is the funniest thing in the world for me
U r very insecure
Bet he has the uncut version of “Les Cousins Dangereoux” somewhere in there
TL;DR:
1. "Good Morning" directed by Yasujiro Ozo
2. "Close-Up" by Abbas Kiarostami
3. The Allan King Collection (esp. "A Married Couple")
4. "Tootsie" by Sidney Pollack
Paul Dylan 5. Straight Time
Paul Dylan Ozu, not Ozo...
Paul Dylan thumbs d for ozo
Paul Dylan How very Reddit of you.
"And i just wanted to find a collection that matched my shirt perfectly" :)
....wait....Michael Cera's a really thoughtful and sensitive connoisseur of film?
What?
In other news, Leonardo DiCaprio survived Titanic.
If you were intelligent enough to catch on...this was all a joke. He improved the whole thing and the things he said about the movies arent actually true in any way.
FishAntsPlantsAndDave are you making a joke? That's 100% not true. Everything he was saying about Close Up was dead serious, and it seems that he's giving his genuine thoughts about all the films.
he's just a geek in general
why wouldn't he be?
He still dresses like he’s still in Superbad
LMFAO that's his style man
baby gap
🤣🤣🤣
that’s because he wore that exact same top whilst on the Superbad press tour in 2007 lmao
@@dee.2848 Top? He’s not a female, at least call it a shirt for his sake.
Sometimes when I watch these closet videos, I feel like the people selecting movies are just posturing. Cera seems like the real deal though. He’s not using vague adjectives to describe the films in a pretentious attempt to sound informed like so many of the other visitors. He is actually making me want to watch some of these. I just added Good Morning to my list.
“A good film should be two sides of a good argument.” Brilliant quote. Going in my notebook.
Only two?
@@maryvallettakeith6146 i think its idiomatic
Beautiful Ozu color film!
These videos need to be longer.
They do tho
definitely
+TemporaryFamineShip 15 mins plus of unboxing/makeup tips/watch me play something and all we get of something this great is 5 mins??
Not gonna lie that matching shirt joke at 3:32 was very subtle and humorous.
Yeah it was perfect
He couldn't believe it himself
Chris Wolff y
It wasnt subtle at all, he mentioned it out loud
That's like the dictionary definition of unsubtle ffs
This UA-cam channel has had me hitting ‘add to watchlist’ on IMDB app so many times
Watching him talk about films makes me think he's an absolute pleasant person to work with. You know he studies and dissects his roles and comprehends what is meant to be relayed beyond what his personal roles are.
this guy doesnt even try to ACT in movies he's just himself lmao
I'd like to see Daniel Radcliffe make a trip to the Criterion closet. He's a pretty intelligent guy with a lot of knowledge for film and theatre.
Stephen why doesn't he use it
Dev Arya lmao
@@devarya8963 lmao

I want Michael Cera to read me bedtime stories. The way he speaks is surprisingly calming.
Yes that would be splendid cat in the hat.?

tbh he has an amazing ASMR voice
I wish he would drop an asmr channel
Ikr
Ikr - I'm not into ASMR, but _damn_ I could fall asleep to that voice easily.
That was my first thought.
I dont like asmr but damn u right id like that
Someday, I want to have my own video where I'm picking out movies for a Criterion profile.
lol
+FlyingOverTr0ut I swear, mine would be, like, 3 hours.
what would you choose??? always curious about peoples picks

Um, if I were to do a closet video today with five slots, I think I'd go with Berlin Alexanderplatz, Kagemusha, The Element of Crime, Weekend (Godard's), and Medium Cool.
fun fact time! according to edgar wright in the #2 commentary (wright/pope) for Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, Michael Cera was "absolutely obsessed with akira kurosawa during the whole shoot" and Wright bought him a Kagemusha poster as a wrap gift. funny that I was just watching this video earlier today. i just had to come back and mention it after hearing about it. The bit starts about 1:14:13
ozu, kiarostami, allan king, and pollack. he's got some good taste and knows his stuff. respect!!!
Close-up doesn't have any of the beautiful cinematography, lighting, and locations present in that other films by Kiarostami
PleasantGuitar
does it need to? it's a classic film that subverts the idea of what is real and what is fiction.
Still all his films do that and the others ones aren't annoying to watch like Close-Up which seems like a failed film to me. The directors other films have engaging sections that examine real life Iranians, Close Up never allows you to get a real feel for this impersonator character, I think it was a better idea on paper than in reality.
It probably would've been better material for a comedic take.
PleasantGuitar
what about "certified copy" or "taste of cherry"?
+thevoid99 I just watched certified copy! So good! Kinda reminds me of Before Sunset/Sunrise/Midnight :D
He really had some genuine things to say about these. He just went up a notch in my book.
I love this man so much, I don't know what he's up to these days but I wish him the best. Thanks for making my childhood the best
I'm going to just pretend that I'm one of those movies Michael is holding and calling beautiful
Michael Cera has a great vibe, seems very fun to hang out with
i always read rumors its quite the opposite, kinda hard to see him in a negative light
didn't know he's an actor until the intro
tom0900060 I didn’t even know he was alive
tom0900060 Psycho_Maniac13 yall need to watch more movies
tom0900060 you ever watch ‘super bad’? He’s the star in the movie.
Definitely my favorite movie.
Call me, we can talk more about it
He doesn't even know you exist until now
didn't know about intros until the comment
I have watched a few of these now and this one is by far my favourite. He seems to be the only one that is aware there is an audience so he makes sure we know exactly what he is talking about and is not just muttering to himself.
paul dano does a good job too
"Hello, my name is Michael Cera. I'm an actor...I'm with ICM talent."
Philip Brubaker still as awkward as ever
And I'm in love with my cousin
I have never ever heard any actor introduce himself with his talent management
I thought that was very humble
@@everyvillainislemons7583 How is that awkward?
He chose Ozu. He chose Kiarostami. I love him.
in your "about", you should perhaps also write the names of the movies and their directors - the picks. and you could even provide links of the DVDs on criterion. makes life easier.
Agree. Monetize this ish, take our money!
4:00 I love how he just casually references Bergman's Scenes From A Marriage.
How is he so amazing? That outro was the stuff of legends. This was beyond precious and should have it's own criterion collection!
Michael Cera likes Abbas Kiarostami. Now I've seen it all...
This just in: actor likes watching movies. Tune in next week for athletes who like sports
@@paulschultz7955 So I guess you wouldn't find it surprising if, let's say, Ludacris liked Sergei Parajanov, or if Dwayne Johnson has seen all the films by Vsevolod Pudovkin.
@@Dreamcatcher9000 I don't think I would, seeing as I don't know them personally.
@@paulschultz7955 Don’t think The Rock likes intelectual shit, you don’t need to know them personally, just look at the work he chooses to do and then gets mad when he doesn’t get his money back on the box office or gets nominated for the Razzies. You know, he’s clearly an actor that cares about quality over spectacle.
And no, don’t try to keep this conversation alive, just wanted to counter your argument by something more logical when it comes to very famous people.
I never knew him and Jessie Eisenberg were two different people until now
Itzz Myk3 ahaha same
The difference is that Jessie Eisenberg is an asshole and Michael Cera is an ageless sweet little egg.
Just make a remake of that movie Twins (so Jesse can be the brains who’s an asshole and Michael can be a brawny simpleton with a heart of gold)
I hate watching these videos, because I really wish I had this collection.
they have all these at the library
lol @ the shirt matching the DVD case. Michael Cera literally can't go 5 minutes without having an awkward quirky moment.
I really love his passion with films. It's beautiful.
You damn well know he's got every Wes Anderson criterion in there somewhere.
I think he should play in one of his movies.
Michal Sz definitely!! It could be such a cool movie :-)
@@michasz4297 yea man would love to see Wes Anderson get him together with Jason Schwartzman and Owen Brothers and Ed Norton and Bill Murray... that's a team that will deliver some comedy gold
I'm thinking him and Jason as the leads, with the others as the main supporting roles... could be about anything... and they'll find a way to make the story funny
he was going to be in Wes Anderson's upcoming film "Asteroid City" but seems to have dropped out :(
His first movie choice was Good Morning, and he knew a lot more about Ozu than expected. I think I'm getting a man-crush for Michael Cera now.
I love him so much, and his neediness is so endearing. He had very thoughtful things he chose to say about each film, and as a movie lover I was so pleased to see his appreciation for film and the process that goes into making each one and dividing a storyline.
You're the only woman I ever know of to have said "His neediness is so endearing," in any context!
I could watch him talking about film all day.
This feels like a scene from one of those shows like Parks and Rec where it seems natural, a tad uncomfy, and there’s like weird pauses 😂
I feel like he could play a young Daniel Johnston
That's sooo perfect ,he even has some fitting good music skills if u listen to his music album
I've come back to this video a lot over the years. It really calms me down somehow.
Yea it sucks when recommending a movie only to have your friends not enjoy it as much as you did. That's why I keep a little list of movies that are easy enough to follow that everyone will enjoy. Great picks.
uii I would love to see that list, it's hard to find gems that please everybody
I love being able to see what these big name actors are into watching, it's cool seeing how passionate they are about what they do and what inspires them.
Michael Cera exemplifies the best of being a Canadian - polite, unassuming, and very knowledgeable.
I love these videos you can really tell they’re talking about something that they really love. Theses videos are so genuine and makes me feel like I’m having a conversation with these actors and directors. KEEP IT UP
Never let the fact that a favorite shirt is way too small stop you from wearing it.
jaybone23 maybe Cera is just swole asf
@@dustinhaney7434 Yeah, shirts just can't contain his bulging form
he doesn’t have any shirts that aren’t from baby gap
I'm so glad this video was recommended to me. My life feels brighter after watching it.
Truly humble person. love these segments and wish they would do more often
this is the calmest one of these i've seen
i love the feeling of being, like, closed up in little library type-corridors like this. it makes me feel adventurous lol
Great take on Ozu's 'Good Morning'. Couldn't have said it any better myself.
Need a Ozu blu ray ser
jayricofilms Not one of my favorite Ozu films but it's nice to see someone pick up something else than Tokyo Story of his every time. Ozu made so many great movies.
+jayricofilms I watched Ozu's 'Late Spring' recently and it really gives an insight into women's Japanese culture in the 40's. Despite it being a relatively antiquated film, the script resembles qualities of a modern nature. The aesthetics are simple and pleasing; a great watch for a lazy Sunday.
+jayricofilms Agree! My favorite film by Ozu, possibly because it is so far apart from his other films which all dwells around the same theme.
This is by far one of the best closet picks. So calming and accurate
What a charming, soothing voice. I could listen to him talk all day, about any topic. He really needs to narrate an audiobook or something, with a voice like that.
I don’t this that often but...
“Hello, I’m Michael Cera, I’m an actor”
That was cute ahahaha, dude, we all know you are an actor.
Opening with his self-tape slate 😂 ‘hey i’m Michael Cera and I’m with ICM talent’. Legend
i cant believe he picked close up, love you cera
thanks to Michael Cera and Paul Dano's reccomendations i gave Good Morning by Yasujiro Ozu a shot and was blown out of the water, that movie had me laughing like no other and it was really wholesome and sweet, and the way the shots are composed are beautiful plus the soundtrack is such an earworm, if you haven't seen it, treat yourself to this delightful movie!
It’s great that he is serious about the craft of film-making in general. In addition to his talent, his appreciation deepens his creativity. 👍
There's way too many cringy people in the comments. Maybe UA-cam should get rid of the comment section also.
Guys like Michael Cera with underdog aura are so adorable even if it seems like they wouldn’t fight for you 😩
He seems so innocent and kindhearted it’s amazing. It makes me like him even more.
Hi Michael Cera, a huge and huge amount of thanks to you for suggesting "Close-Up". I would have missed one of the master pieces. This film just took its place in my heart. Thanks a lot
Bring him back. Love this guy
The visible thought process of him realizing that the collection matched his shirt was heart warming
Not a massive fan of Cera as an actor, but have a lot of respect for him for being so passionate about movies. You can see he truly appreciates the art form, so props to him for the passion.
big up on the Straight Time mention at the end...great and (still) a very underrated film.
so stoked to see him on Season 3 of Twin Peaks
Lol I didn't realize this is where the "Call me" clip comes from.
What a great actor, he never leaves character
I love Cera in the new Twin Peaks. Couldn't stop laughing.
Michael Cera has such wonderful taste.
Good Morning is one of my favorites. Tokyo Story and Autumn Afternoon are also terrific, but I think Good Morning doesn't get enough attention. Great pick.
This video was so relaxing honestly.
Yooo Michael Cera knows his shit. Not only did he choose Ozu and Kiarostami, he knew Good Morning is a remake of another one of Ozu's films.
You need to do more of these videos :D
Honestly, at first I thought he was being sarcastic, but then it became clear he knows too much about these movies to not mean what he's saying.
this is the most beautiful video ever
Michael is fucking adorable and that is THE MOST Michael Cera shirt I've ever seen. If SNL had someone play Michael Cera that'd be the shirt they'd pick.
Straight Time with Dustin Hoffman deserves to be in the collection. Great film that not a lot of people know about!
Agreed. STRAIGHT TIME is an incredibly underrated film.
Michael Cera has surprisingly good taste. Ozu and Kiarostami.
this is now my new fave channel
Cera, you are awesome. I thoroughly enjoyed this Closet Picks. Thank you :)
Michael Cera is so badass
Damn he really knows his stuff about film. I feel like most actors have no way near this kind of appreciation.
It's crazy Micheal Cera does the best closet picks and it sounds like he really loves it
his voice is so comforting
