I am your fan sir. Nobody ever mentioned jean de florette and manon des sources in any YT video or anywhere. They are in my all time top 10 films ever made. You are classy. I love your videos. I am glad, fortunate and honoured to be your subscriber:)
I've been making canonical viewing lists since 1978 and have seen all or most of the ones on these you've featured. It has been an enriching journey but I've slowed down quite a bit now that I'm over 60. List pursuit is a young man's game, and it will take decades to cut a wide-enough swath through the canon to know what one is talking about. You're reminding us which films are important and why. I disagreed with some of your takes, even liking some of the Godard's you dissed, but I like your honesty. This was great.
The fact that you mentioned João Bénard da Costa, the second Portuguese Cinemathéque director's 1994 list to me is just 😍🥰😘 He is an amazing movie critic and its a pity that so few people know him
I was very happy to see Sidney Lumet's "Running On Empty" on Kurosawa's list. There was so much I learned about film structure from watching it over and over.
Definetely your most fun video yet, your love for the game comes off strong. I hope someday i have the repertory that would allow me to make a list of my own hahahah By the way, congratulations for the sponsorship! Wishing for more to come!
Thank you for including Paul Schrader’s “Canon Fodder” list. It is the outline I started using when the urge to list my favorite/greatest movies sweeps over me. It is an idiosyncratic, deeply personal list; creating a cinematic canon as an act of autobiography.
Fantastic video, as per usual you mix humor, your depth of film knowledge, and your understanding of all different types of film lover into a fascinating and unique type of video that genuinely deepens my understanding and love of cinema. Well done, yet again
Your work here just keeps getting better. You light a fire in my belly to watch more films, especially in the times where I feel like I'm in a lull or I'm distracted by other things in life that I care less about than cinema. Thank you for that.
You know, Moviewise, sometimes you make we feel like a 19th century slave lost in London Express filled with white business men to the brim. You remind of a late youtuber, Technoblade. Only he could tell when his next video was gonna drop. You are like those rains in summer. Completely unpredictable.
The brief clip of The Tulsa Luper Suitcases is brilliant: in a video listing lists, include a clip of a movie where the director lists all his prior movies all of which contain lists.
The Man Who Stole the Sun is so good. It's like every genre at once and it's somehow also cohesive. One of the fastest-feeling 2.5-hour-long movies ever.
Thank you!! Amazing video as always. Could you explain why in your opinion Mulholland Drive is a good movie? The only David Lynch's that actually speak to me are the Elephant Man and the Eraserhead :(
Any list with three John Ford's list highly with me. Which Ford movie do you consider his best? I love and respect The Searchers but I am in love with Stagecoach. To be honest I occasionally fool around with the Cavalry movies but I always return to my true love.
I'm really curious to know your thoughts about Indian movies. I'm guessing you haven't watched many, but if you could still make a video about it or include it in a brief video.
LAGAAN has long been outpaced by far more interesting, polished, thematically robust and less self-indulgent films. Even though it stars Amir Khan, its still a jewel of old Bollywood - which is no longer around anymore. It's a shame that Indian cinema - the literal biggest film industry in the world - is always the same old entries from "dusty old Western film critic's first time having fun watching Bollywood at a film festival" list (not aimed at you Moviewise, but the list builders). The cinema of India is virtually unknown, as is the cinema of Africa, much of the Latin Americas and hell even Australasia. It's time we had new lists made by critics with broader tastes than those raised on the narrative of the American movie canon and the European film festival greatest hits.
Good, thought provoking commentary. My 13 all time FAVORITE films are Dr. Mabuse the Gambler, Sunrise, either Rules of the Game or his The River (I go back and forth between these two) The Flowers of St. Francis, I Walked With a Zombie, Kiss Me Deadly, The Searchers, Vertigo, Touch of Evil, Shoot the Piano Player, Demy's Lola, Contempt and Goodfellas I'm a director myself and yes, film noir is my favorite genre and I have 4 on my list. Love early Godard but not a fan of Alphaville. Only like the scenes with Eddie and the machine, the pool and Akim Tamiroff. I find the movie cold and not exciting. I guess that was the world Godard was trying to portray but it does not make for good cinema IMO. And the last line "I love you" Couldn't Godard have come up with something a little more original? Have reservations about The Third Man too but that's another story.
Toronto Film festival so Cronenberg and Videodrome are essential. Probably not making the list put out by the Viennese film festival. Ah Yes henry II from the lion in winter. Thank you for the List of Lists.
My Neighbor totoro is just such a wholesome movie, that no matter how many Artistic masterpieces I watch with much more influence & credence I will still put totoro above those, same goes with Whisper of the heart! maybe it's just Joe Hisaishi's music, but man those movies make me feel like a child again.
You missed it ;) Pretty sure I spotted "Wild Strawberries" somewhere. As well as "Fanny and Alexander" on the Kurosawa's list. And I'm sure "Persona" might appear on at least one of those list
I would feel so listless without such lists. What about a list of all movies that appear in at least half of these top ten lists? Or a list of all the directors who have movies that appear in at least half of these lists? Yes lists are very important. As well as watching all the latest and spending time on sleeping, eating, exercising, maintaining relationships with family and friends, working, shopping etc etc a person has very little time per week to spend watching the classics from such lists. I hope to see a classic a week, quite ambitious but quite possible with such lists.
Bro bro bro. What South America, Central America, the Carribean, West Africa, North Africa, Central Africa, Southern Africa, East Africa, the Balkans, Eastern Europe, the Caucasus, the Baltic countries, the Middle East (disculding Iran), Central Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia, the Pacific Islands, Finland, Iceland, and Norway? A.k.a most of the world.
what a great video, congrats for your work. You can get some interesting points from all lists, i can´t understand the love for the Rule of the game when Renoir has other masterpieces much better than that but i suppose is more about context, french centralism in cinema is there. Most of them has sense and are good but holy smoke you can see how overrated is Goddard, probably you can make a list of the most overrated directors and this guy is the 1º for sure. If you are interested you could check some spanish list which are very accurate too, even recently we got a book called "Our Betters" about lists. Movies like "El Crack" by Jose Luis Garci or "Strange Voyage" by Fernando Fernan Gomez could make any list.
You really don’t like avant garde cinema. There is a wonderful world of wild creative movies out there, but I suppose in this case it comes down to how much you value the approach, more than how successfully they achieved their aims.
YES! Except, when you mentioned WatchMojo I thought I had wandered into an AI clone of the greatest movie channel on YT. Only a brief nightmare, though. Top form , this one MW.
I'm confused about something and maybe it's just a mistake I made, but the two films you mentioned, fugitive from the past and man who stole the sun, I cannot find on that 2015 busan list.
Not sure this was a good use of 37 minutes but some interesting points. I wouldn't know where to find even a 1/4 of these films to watch and I don't have the money to buy DVD's of movies sight unseen. I do have a few on the lists but many will have to remain unwatched.
She used the role to vent her grief over losing Spencer Tracy, you know. _"Spencer, the calla lillies are in bloom again ...and your wife is on the phone."_
A list of 50 movies that end completely differently than the movie leads you to expect from the beginning, let me introduce my pick... "Montenegro - Or Pigs and Pearls" Directed by Dušan Makavejev.
I'm just two mins into the video, but I'm so glad Moviewise has sponsor money!! Okay, back to list watching…
Same here!
yea! Now Director tier list plz
Yeah, that would great.
Yeah that would be awesome. Can’t wait to
too generic
Honestly my favourite UA-cam page, my favourite film essayist. Brother you are awesome
Would love to see a film you write
Oh my gosh, I loved this one. You've outdone yourself. But that Kurosawa list? Insanely tight.
Cinemateca Portuguesa represented in your video fills me with pride and joy.
I am your fan sir. Nobody ever mentioned jean de florette and manon des sources in any YT video or anywhere. They are in my all time top 10 films ever made. You are classy. I love your videos. I am glad, fortunate and honoured to be your subscriber:)

I was very happy to see Sidney Lumet's "Running On Empty" on Kurosawa's list. There was so much I learned about film structure from watching it over and over.
Kurosawa also was the only one to list La Strada
I love your video editing. Hilarious.
Definetely your most fun video yet, your love for the game comes off strong. I hope someday i have the repertory that would allow me to make a list of my own hahahah
By the way, congratulations for the sponsorship! Wishing for more to come!
"You just know this guy's favorite book is Catcher in the Rye."
Best line on UA-cam this week.
Thank you for including Paul Schrader’s “Canon Fodder” list. It is the outline I started using when the urge to list my favorite/greatest movies sweeps over me. It is an idiosyncratic, deeply personal list; creating a cinematic canon as an act of autobiography.
Fantastic video, as per usual you mix humor, your depth of film knowledge, and your understanding of all different types of film lover into a fascinating and unique type of video that genuinely deepens my understanding and love of cinema. Well done, yet again
lists are so much more fun when there's a handful of movies that make you do a double take, so glad you have this perspective
Your work here just keeps getting better. You light a fire in my belly to watch more films, especially in the times where I feel like I'm in a lull or I'm distracted by other things in life that I care less about than cinema. Thank you for that.
You are so entertaining and have a great narration voice. Keep up the great content.
This deserves to be on the best lists lists list!
Thanks for the amazing lists and discussion I got some great ideas from this. My seedbox is almost full now
What a coincidence! I just found Kurosawa's list yesterday and added 54 movies to my watchlist.
Loved this… but now I want your list!
This is the most brilliant idea for a movie list I'ver seen
You know, Moviewise, sometimes you make we feel like a 19th century slave lost in London Express filled with white business men to the brim. You remind of a late youtuber, Technoblade. Only he could tell when his next video was gonna drop. You are like those rains in summer. Completely unpredictable.
This list is currently on my number one spot of movie list lists.
I was actually watching Hamlet for the third time, than the unthinkable happened. A new Moviewise video. You and Ken are connected
Another excellent video. Keep it up.
These are great lists, thank you 🙏🏽
harold bloom mentioned, subscribed
I love lists, I see them as suggestions and recommendations. Definitely adding some of these to my watchlist.
I like adding them to an excel sheet so I can see how many days I spent watching movies
First! Also wow I never thought of a video concept like this before
I now can't watch any movie without analizing the blocking. Thank you for ruining my movie experience
😆
"Let's get to films instead of shit-posting. Good editing, though." I cracked up.
No way, did I spot Takeshi Kitanos Fireworks(hana bi) on Kurosawas list it's my favourite film
That's a stunning masterwork. When Kitano works, he fire-works. Always trying to get people to watch Hana-Bi.
I still think about the ending of that film. So good. Nice pfp too lol.
I love you List-wise, this video has inspired me to keep watching movies until the day I die
The brief clip of The Tulsa Luper Suitcases is brilliant: in a video listing lists, include a clip of a movie where the director lists all his prior movies all of which contain lists.
Truly one of the tierlists of the tierlists of all time
The Man Who Stole the Sun is so good. It's like every genre at once and it's somehow also cohesive. One of the fastest-feeling 2.5-hour-long movies ever.
Thank you!! Amazing video as always. Could you explain why in your opinion Mulholland Drive is a good movie? The only David Lynch's that actually speak to me are the Elephant Man and the Eraserhead :(
I have a list of my favourite videos and this one is on the list - live, love list!
This isn't a list of top Movies. It's a list of top Films. If it were movies it would be topped by Jaws, Star Wars, etc.
Any list with three John Ford's list highly with me.
Which Ford movie do you consider his best? I love and respect The Searchers but I am in love with Stagecoach. To be honest I occasionally fool around with the Cavalry movies but I always return to my true love.
great video man
I will be watching everything on that Kinema Junpo list. Thanks Moviewise, always informative and I walk away with something new to watch.
I'm really curious to know your thoughts about Indian movies. I'm guessing you haven't watched many, but if you could still make a video about it or include it in a brief video.
+1

One list to rule them all.
"Videodrome" being essential is a hill worth dying on. All hail the new lists!
Simply marvelous, darling! ❤
This makes me wonder about the list of best films by great directors not usually mentioned by lists.
Good, thought provoking commentary.
My 13 all time FAVORITE films are Dr. Mabuse the Gambler, Sunrise, either Rules of the Game or his The River (I go back and forth between these two) The Flowers of St. Francis, I Walked With a Zombie, Kiss Me Deadly, The Searchers, Vertigo, Touch of Evil, Shoot the Piano Player, Demy's Lola, Contempt and Goodfellas

Ah Yes henry II from the lion in winter.
Thank you for the List of Lists.
That was magic, thank you.
I’m here to beg for the 100 greatest movies featuring “Characters in confined spaces talking for hours” pleeeeeeease
I love you. I love your voice, your style, your content. Please continue to exist ad infinitum.
franz is my fav liszt XD
Was about to post this, but you took the words right out of my mouth.
Finally my boy has a sponsor
This video is an instant classic
Another banger by Moviewise b
Nice to see some love for Alphaville!
My Neighbor totoro is just such a wholesome movie, that no matter how many Artistic masterpieces I watch with much more influence & credence I will still put totoro above those, same goes with Whisper of the heart! maybe it's just Joe Hisaishi's music, but man those movies make me feel like a child again.
Videodrome! I rewatched it last year and it is a very well written film! The low-budget body horror pulls it down, otherwise it would be exceptional.
4:40 If you think the IMBd top 250 list is bad on that regard, then stay away from the Letterboxd top 250
Ugh, for real. Total garbage.
I haven't thoroughly looked over every list yet, but I'm surprised to see no mention of Busby Berkeley.
Kurosawa giving King of Comedy the love it deserves! ❤
I think Mother & Son was mentioned in The Story of Film by Mark Cousins.
Great video but something wrong with the sound your voice is louder on one side of my headphones. The music sounds the same on both sides.
Next: Moviewise tackles every edition of "1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die".
Don’t give me ideas!
I can't believe Bergman isn't mentioned in this video anywhere. Did I miss it?
I agree
You missed it ;) Pretty sure I spotted "Wild Strawberries" somewhere. As well as "Fanny and Alexander" on the Kurosawa's list. And I'm sure "Persona" might appear on at least one of those list
Moviewise what do you think about Robert Altman and John Cassavettes directing styles?
In a nutshell: love Altman, hate Cassavetes
I would feel so listless without such lists. What about a list of all movies that appear in at least half of these top ten lists? Or a list of all the directors who have movies that appear in at least half of these lists? Yes lists are very important. As well as watching all the latest and spending time on sleeping, eating, exercising, maintaining relationships with family and friends, working, shopping etc etc a person has very little time per week to spend watching the classics from such lists. I hope to see a classic a week, quite ambitious but quite possible with such lists.
Why the F you are so underated
Please talk about Brazilian movies! 🫶 love your videos.
Hey ! Have you seen Challengers, that just came out? I'm curious to hear your thoughts about it. Seems like oscar worthy directing to me.
Bro bro bro. What South America, Central America, the Carribean, West Africa, North Africa, Central Africa, Southern Africa, East Africa, the Balkans, Eastern Europe, the Caucasus, the Baltic countries, the Middle East (disculding Iran), Central Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia, the Pacific Islands, Finland, Iceland, and Norway? A.k.a most of the world.
What about them?
Great....more stuff to put on my letterboxd watchlist.
what a great video, congrats for your work.

You really don’t like avant garde cinema. There is a wonderful world of wild creative movies out there, but I suppose in this case it comes down to how much you value the approach, more than how successfully they achieved their aims.
The only list that is really respected is Sight & Sounds list.
. . . and three from Godard’s “snow job period”. . . made me laugh
[29:35] Is that a dagger in your pocket Lawrence, or are you just pleased to see us?
Mother and Son is great. Especially the car chase.
Chelsea Girls:Moviewise::Sideshow Bob:Rakes
Trying so hard to read it as you go through the film lists really fast. I actually saw Blue Velvet by David Lynch in the #2.
YES! Except, when you mentioned WatchMojo I thought I had wandered into an AI clone of the greatest movie channel on YT. Only a brief nightmare, though. Top form , this one MW.
I'm confused about something and maybe it's just a mistake I made, but the two films you mentioned, fugitive from the past and man who stole the sun, I cannot find on that 2015 busan list.
They’re in the Japanese list
@@Moviewise oh the kinema junpo? Damn I must have gotten mixed up while watching thank you!
OK, but where do we see these films now that there are no video rental shops and they're mostly not on Mubi, Canal+ or the BFI Player?
Not sure this was a good use of 37 minutes but some interesting points.
I wouldn't know where to find even a 1/4 of these films to watch and I don't have the money to buy DVD's of movies sight unseen. I do have a few on the lists but many will have to remain unwatched.
Ai ce falou!! That Skillshare money!!!!!!
Excellent.....
She used the role to vent her grief over losing Spencer Tracy, you know.
_"Spencer, the calla lillies are in bloom again ...and your wife is on the phone."_
Miyazaki will be so pleased.
Thank You.
Thanks for fucking up my watchlist again.
Still can't believe Lynch makes it into any of these lists.
Did I miss somtehing or Kurosawa's "Dreams" are nowhere to be found (except maybe Japan's list)??!
Please do a why its a classic on The Third Man
Get out... 7 Men from Now is absolutely cannon.
I want your comments on Stanley Kubrick!
A list of 50 movies that end completely differently than the movie leads you to expect from the beginning, let me introduce my pick...
"Montenegro - Or Pigs and Pearls"
Directed by Dušan Makavejev.
