Hearing Del Toro talk about horror, suspense and Gothic movies is like attending a master class on film…thanks TCM, glad you’re still here!
agreed.
Me too!😊
Agreed, some of the most brilliant people don't seem to be able to explain their process or their artform with any clarity. It's kind of odd, but Del Toro ain't got that problem.
For sure
he has such a mastery of language
Guillermo Del Toro is as much of a film fan as he is a film director, which one can easily tell from his work. Fantastic picks from a fantastic filmmaker for this October.
1. 0:05 Suspicion
2. 1:19 Freaks
3. 2:17 Jane Eyre
4. 3:31 I Walked with a Zombie
5. 4:21 Black Sabbath
Thank you!

Guillermo is a scholar of horror. You can tell how much he adores the genre. What a master. Thank you, TCM.
Wow not a lot of people claim Suspicion as one of their favorite Hitchcock films! Glad Guillermo is one of them!
I prefer Hitchocks Notorious. Cary's intentions are questionable. Claude Rains performance is so nuanced.
😅I prefer The Lady Vanished. 39 Steps and Secret Agent over his Hollywood films. They
should be given more recognition.
I am an unabashed Anglophile. so sue me.
Couldn't have picked a more perfect person to make the choices for the month of All Hallow's Eve (and to talk about them with his love of cinema and knowledge of the art and craft of it). Del Toro is an international treasure. ❤☮🌎
Guillermo Del Toro's love for film is so palpable it just leaps off the screen and supercharges your curiosity about all of these gems. And they are all gems!
My father introduced me to Suspicion...Cary Grant was versatile actor...loved watching him build a character on screen
It’s been many years since I saw it. Never dawned on me he might really kill her.
Indeed he was. My favorite Cary Grant films are Arsenic and Old Lace, Charade, Notorious, North by Northwest, and Only Angels Have Wings.
@@samanthab1923 in the novel upon which the movie is based, the heroine realises that he means to murder her (for her money) but willingly accepts her fate, as she loves him. If you do a Wikipedia search about the film you'll read that the Hollywood studio forced Hitchcock to change his original ending...
I’d just love Guillermo to do a bookshelf tour! I want to know what he reads.
Agreed! I was tempted to pause the video just to read the titles on his bookshelf.
Man I love listening to Guillermo talk about cinema.
This guy is legit brilliant and deeply, deeply articulate. Love him.
I hope Del Toro will do a documentary like A Personal Journey with Martin Scorsese one day
As Del Toro was recommending Jane Eyre, I was wishing he had just gone ahead and recommended I Walked With a Zombie, so I was delighted a minute later when he did just that. Those Val Lewton films are favorites of mine, and I Walked with a Zombie is a somewhat neglected gem (probably because the title is terrible). While you're at it, fire up Cat People and The Seventh Victim if you've never seen them.
If only we got to see del Toro's version of The Hobbit!
I suffer daily knowing it almost happened then didn't. FUUUUUCK!!!
Ikr, would have loved to see a half macabre take on some of the spider woods etc. Like picture a hairy spider with part of it's web sticking some drained human remains to parts of it's abdomen.
Oof don't rub it in. The pain is still too deep
I love this praise for 1944's "Jane Eyre," but I would also single out Peggy Ann Garner, one of the most underrated child actresses, who gives a standout performance as the child Jane.
Del Toro talks about films the way a painter describes a canvas of painting;
An absolute artist.
I watched a Freaks & Eraserhead double feature 40+ yrs ago. Films not to be forgotten
It's great having these amazing film makers make picks for TCM. Del Toro is perfect for October!
I wish it was his top 20 picks! I could listen to him talk about movies all day.
del Toro's analysis of Freaks and Browning here is brilliant and so concise! best explainer of what drives Browning and makes his work so unsettling and compelling.
I wish I could get a list of everything he has on his bookshelf!
I remember watching Black Sabbath as a kid and (particularly A Drop of Water) scared the crap out of me. Subsequent viewings reveal the tricks but it’s still a great watch.
I could watch an entire series of GDT reccomendations! Just amazing.
I hope you guys make this a regular series, with del Toro just talking about films that he wants to talk about..
The witch in the first story of Black Sabbath haunted my Nightmares for years until in my adulthood finally seeing the film and realizing where that ghastly grin came from. I never remember ever seeing the fil. In my youth.
Wow! I could have watched hours upon hours of Guillermo Del Toro suggesting and also talking about the movies that he loves. I love him. I met him twice and he was such an amazing sweet guy. He is one of my favorite directors of this time. Thank you for having him on. 🖤🦇🖤⚰️🖤💀🖤
I met him 3 times
@@gentlesoft6627 sweetest man, right???
Currently partaking in a little challenge - 31 days of horror. Going to watch a horror flick each day leading up to Halloween. Definitely going to include these on some days! I need to catch up on some old classics
I could listen to this man all day
Let's have him do spooky books next.
No thanks. It looks as though he’s a fan of Stephen King.
@@fishtolizard3930 So people who like even one Stephen King book aren't allowed to talk about horror literature? Give me a fucking break 😂
I like hearing Del Toro talk about films that it encourages us to watch them or go back to these classics and see them with new eyes. I feel the same listening to Martin Scorsese.
How great would it be to spend a weekend with del Toro at his house, just eating, talking, and watching movies? I am inviting myself, but I promise to wash all the dishes.
I watched Black Sabbath when I was a bit too young, The Ring terrified me for months afterwards.
Aah, I can listen to Del Toro talk masterfully about movies all day! ❤ yes, bookshelf tour, too! So inspiring! Freaks is a must see! Glad it made his picks
PLEASE GOD let him make his Frankenstein
Love the way he describes these excellent films, it's exactly my taste! 😄
Thank you for this commentary. I've marked all of the suggestions to be recorded. And thank you, UA-cam TV!!
Of course Del Toro likes Bava... I bet he likes Argento as well. He is a master of horror, someone said he could have directed The Hobbit and if that's true we REALLY missed out. Especially with riddles in the dark scene from the book that was masterfully done in the 1977 cartoon. That with the orcs, wolves, and spiders... man that would have been something!
Now we also need Guillermo del Tory's picks.
Id love to have a tour of his movie collection, as I'd with scorsese, and other true film lovers, who also have the money and connections to have incredible collections that we never see
My favorite director
Love this guy. Guilhermo is so cool and his films are amazing. Pan's Labirinth is just extraordinary!
Yup, that film is his true masterpiece. I don’t think he’ll ever top that.
Pan’s Labyrinth is one of my favorite movies of all-time.
I definitely appreciate his appreciation for the golden age gothic Hollywood films like Jane Eyre (1944) and Suspicion. I always loved the atmosphere of those films.
“Orson Welles is the perfect Rochester” and he was only 28 during the movie and was only two years older than Joan Fontaine.
I tried watching that version of Jane Eyre a few years ago, but didn't care for the pairing of Welles and Fontaine. Since del Toro recommends the film as one of his favorites, though, I'll have to give it another shot.
Hot damn, I thought Black Sabbath was completely forgotten, good for you, GdT. And Joan Fontaine, hubba hubba.
I love to hear you speak. Your eloquence ties together all the things I enjoy…you are a great story teller and director. I’ve seen all your movies and most of your productions. Looking forward to your next endeavor.
I love it when directors are fans too!
Marione Bava, I love you Guillermo
There's a lot of Mario Bava classics available for free on streaming right now! Salud Profe!
BLACK SABBATH 👌🙏💯
Black Sabbath is a masterpiece. So long as it is the Italian cut.
Thanks for the tip!
Great picks! So much respect for del Toro.
Thanks for the recommendations Deadman!
Fabulous selections !
Well done, GDT and TCM! Well done!
Wonderful picks!
This is such a great video, thank you so much for this ❤
I ADORE GDT AND HALLOWEEN! A match made in the barrier between the dead and the living!
SUSPICION SCORE IS DELICIOUS!!
Very interesting and inspiring. I had never heard of this movie by Tourneur, so this is one for the to-watch-list. Thank you for sharing.
Abhorring normality because it masks terrible things is such a great concept. It elegantly explains feelings I've had that I never understood.
Abhorring tho, not absorbing.
@@tothelighthouse9843 indeed. Autocorrected what was no doubt an atrocious spelling mistake on my part. Thank you.
That concept also has the added bonus of being generally untrue
Cabinet of curiosities…just started watching this…wow it’s great!!
Great picks!
This is fabulous. I love hearing these recommendations from Del Toro. I love the variety of his picks. I have been wanting to watch "I Walked With a Zombie" for some time. I see it all the time on TCM.
It's terrific and beautiful!
Magnificent picks, Maestro
What a list! I'm going to make a point of looking for each of these. Most of them, I've seen, but they're worth revisiting. Other than maybe Scorsese, I don't think there's a director so knowledgeable about the history of film, and astute in his judgement. I've heard he wants to do a book/documentary about filmmaking technique by interviewing some other directors, and I would pay through the nose for such a thing. I hope that project is advancing.
Looking forward to seeing this 🎥🎞🎬
Great piece!
Thank you Guillermo!
Gracias señor.
I really enjoyed that, and now I am going to watch them Thankyou GDT
I've only seen Shadow of a Doubt because of Guillermo del Toro's masterclass in Toronto. I have never seen a Hitchcock in its entirety before this. Thanks for popping my cherry, Guillermo!
Wow, you hadn't seen any Hitchcocks before then? You have a lot of treasures to see! My personal favorites are Psycho and The Birds, but he's made plenty of other films that deserve the title of classics. Have fun!
@@denisesudell2538 I've seen the Psycho remake
@@tinlunlau1 I haven't seen that, but I hear it's terrible. You really should see Anthony Perkins's portrayal of Norman Bates. It's unforgettable. He gives the character so many layers.
@@denisesudell2538 Christopher Doyle's cinematography was the real star of the Psycho remake.
@@tinlunlau1 I'll have to take your word for it.
Excellent choices I really loved Black Sabbath. I definitely have to watch it again. Thank you for the review. Also, I need to watch freaks again I don’t believe I saw it from beginning to end.
I just have to say one of my favorite films from you is Crimson Peak, you are very talented. Love your films.
I watched to the end on the edge of my seat, praying for a third "dissimilar" in just 6 minutes
I love GDT so much. He’s like my brother from another mother fr.💕
3 of Hitch's best.
I have Shadow of a Doubt in the top 5 of the master.
Just saw Black Sabbath, really solid anthology film with great visuals and atmosphere
Legendary...
wow, that's amazing
Love Guillermo
In the version of Black Sabbath I saw, The Ring is first, Wurdulak was third.
I love him.
4:45 yeah Mario Bava was very talented at making the most of what he had. Black Sunday is a super cheap movie but Bava shot everything to make it look like it cost millions
I miss TCM.
Yes, I wish it was available in a streaming service. I kept cable for years just for TCM, but finally realized that I wasn't watching it enough to justify the cost. I miss some of the special features I can't get anywhere else.
cool!
Seeing. The Birds..on the big screen tomorrow...
Freaks ♥️😍♥️
Only, damned Souls appropriate, please!
Charlotte Brontë, not Charles. Charlotte Brontë wrote Jane Eyre.
What a tragedy that Todd Browning's career (and life) was sidelined secondary to his making the amazing film Freaks. Such injustice. One can only imagine what could've been...
More, more! 100 more!
Alv es el de Up 😳
are these films free to watch ? and where do we watch them?
On DVD perhaps? But all these films are so old they have certainly become public domain. I'm sure you can find them for streaming somewhere online.
I recently watched Jane Eyre on UA-cam.
This video is essentially an ad for the cable channel Turner Classic Movies, which is showing the films in October. TCM or its parent company owns the rights to the films. They are definitely not in the public domain, although you may be able to find them streaming somewhere.
Did he say The Ring? It’s obviously not any modern movie, can someone help me with who was in it so I can find it?
The Ring, also called "The Drop Of Water," is the third act of Mario Bava's 1963 film, Black Sabbath. What Guillermo was referring to was a film that basically consists of three short films in one, with Boris Karloff introducing all three and starring in one as well. It's a classic, and I definitely recommend it.
Thank you so much for the answer, this was very helpful!
🥰🥰🥰
1:42 he says "Pulp-ish" not "hopish" (which isn't a word), the subs are wrong. I'm still yet to find a youtube channel with accurate subs
Interesting, I walked with a zombie (Vaudou/Voodoo) in France, is inspired by Jane Eyre story...
Wow, that's interesting! Can you explain how?
@@denisesudell2538 Strange GDT don't mention the link of those films he's listing but he knows what he's doing and it's ours to guess..; well i could tell but it's a spoiler sorry... watch them both, same day or night.., great experience,there aren't many gothic romance/drama after all and here are some of the bests, i highly recommend The lost moment too if you don't know. Slts
Suspicion
Freaks
Jane Eyere
I walked w a Zombie
Black Sabbath
"Joan Fontaine - the perfect Jane." Oh, no! Guillermo! Have you never read the danged book?! Jane is supposed to be mousy, plain, kind of odd. Joan Fontaine was a great beauty! I love that movie, but the whole thing is so horribly miscast that I watch it despite its casting, not because of it!
Totally agree.
Could not disagree more. Joan Fontaine was very attractive, even beautiful, but by the Hollywood standards of the day, glamour-wise she was no Hedy Lamarr, Rita Hayworth or Gene Tierney. And to not like Orson Welles as the original incarnation of Mr Rochester ??? Words fail.
I agree with you about disliking the casting. The one time I tried to watch the film, I thought Welles and Fontaine were horribly mismatched. Welles's acting style was so much more naturalistic than Fontaine's -- she was too affected for my taste. I actually turned the movie off. Given del Toro's recommendation, though, I'm willing to give it another shot.
If only he made The Hobbit .....
What about modern horror lol
shouldn’t one have directed at least one watchable film to suggest them?
