@@firstname745 I collect movie tickets and boarding tickets from my travel, but I place them currently in a box. Any tip on where I can get something identical to Stuckmann's collection?
It’s so weird seeing Chris talk about these movies and how I remember him reviewing them when they came out. Being in late elementary school when I watched his Wrath of the Titans review and now watching this as a grad student, Chris has left an immense impact on me in regards to film appreciation and studying the art. Without him and his journey through these movies with me, I really don’t think I’d be the person I am today. I’ll be forever grateful for his impact, and I know I’m not the only one who feels this way.
My girlfriend surprised me when she showed me a memorabilia box that contained a movie ticket for Mirai. It was one of our first movie dates as a couple and I was legitimately touched. You are absolutely correct about them being time capsules!
Oh my gosh, all the nostalgia! I started collecting movie tickets when I was around 13 as well, but then they got ruined when I was 19 and after that I stopped collecting. Impressive you held on to those for over 20 years!
This was so cool! It was definitely a way different experience back in the day. I have very fond memories of going to the movies with my family that I will forever cherish. Unfortunately, we were pretty broke at the time and could only afford to go to a "$1 theater" which only played movies that were just released on VHS, but it was still such a treat for us and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Those were the days that you could sneak into a theater or sneak your friends in through the side door and get away with it! Lol! Ahhh, good times. Thank you for sharing.
Amazing video idea Chris. I normally don’t collect all movie tickets but I remember some great experiences seeing The Dark Knight, UP, Avatar, Avengers, Inside Out, Rogue One, LEGO Movie, IT, Infinity War, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Joker, Lighthouse, Jojo Rabbit, No Way Home, and Everything Everywhere all at Once.
Hero is awesome.lm little bit older but on the same page.l worked at Carmike in 99 with Star wars n The Mummy and The Matrix.If I saved all my tickets it would need an album.🙏
Dude thanks for the best idea ever! I just decided to look through my house and I found over 150 movie tickets going back to 2003. So glad I kept all of these.👍😁
I have been watching you for 6 years now and this ready one of my favorite videos of yours, really captures that feeling of looking back and reminiscing looking through old ticket stubs.
I started collecting tickets in 1980... they were just little stubs and didn't have the movie printed on them. I was 13 in 1981 and went to see "Raiders of the Lost Ark." That's when my obsession with movies started... and I moved to CA and went to film school as soon as I graduated. Kept collecting those stubs until about '92 and lost track of them in one of my many moves. I can remember seeing each of the Indiana Jones films for the first time... I worked in several movie theaters in high school, college, and beyond, so I often would see movies 5+ times... I can recall the feelings and atmosphere of many of those outings. Thanks for bringing us on the walk down memory lane!
I remember being in 5th grade and seeing movie stubs on a friend's dresser and thought, "Wow what a great idea to collect those!" So I did! I have such a huge collection now, my oldest being Dr. Dolittle from 1998 I believe. It was fun watching you relive your theater experiences and seeing someone else as excited to collect stubs as I am!!
This is amazing Chris! It's great to see other lovers of cinema collect tickets over the years. I kept a collection of tickets ever since I was young. Unfortunately, the first half of my collection got washed in the washer when I left my wallet in a pair of jeans. I had Phantom Menace, Jurassic Park III, The Mummy Returns, Star Trek Nemesis, The Matrix Reloaded, and more. Tickets like the memory of sitting in a theater auditorium is something that can't be replicated with watching a film on digital at home.
Dude, totally bringing back memories with this. I was a newlywed at the time you start off with here. My wife and I pretty much went to the movies every weekend back then and we saw most of these. Great times.
This is awesome man! Need to start collecting 🎟️ again I only carry 5 tickets, 1:X-Men Origins Wolverine 2:Avatar (2009) 3:The Dark Knight 4:Prince of persia 5:Terminator Salvation Seeing tickets from the early 2000s is nostalgic even if I was born in 98' still wished I was able to experience most of the movies you mentioned from the early 2000s!
This brought back a lot of memories for me from when I used to save movie tickets (before my local theater stopped printing them). I was inspired by my aunt who influenced my love of movies. She has a few of the tickets you showed here saved under a glass cover on her desk. This video was a lot of fun!
Love the fact that you took the time to make a really cool, kind of personal but fun video while in the middle of making your film. Really happy to see it man.
This made me cry. And made me wish I could have a 2 hour conversation with you. I saw so many of the same ones you listed, I lost all of my tickets because I have moved around so much over the years. Btw I found your channel because I was so ready for Toy Story 3 and I was seeking reviews. What a trip down memory lane. Now your making movies my guy. I'm so happy for you
you showing your Dark Knight tickets with the date and everything made me come to the realization that I somehow convinced my mom to take me to that movie when I was 8 lol
Great collection Chris! It’s great to see others that have collected movie tickets for 20+ years! The first ticket I held onto that began my hobby of collecting them was for Starship Troopers in ‘97… I was 10 years old lol
This is really special Chris, thank you for sharing. I had all mine taped to a board for years and have since lost them :/ These are cherished memories, glad you have them to look back on.
My Dad and I went to the movies every Saturday morning for decades. When he passed I found all of our ticket stubs. They are proudly displayed on the wall in my movie room now.
OMG....I'll be damned....I truly thought I was the ONLY person who saves his movie tickets !!!!! I started only back in the early 2000's but when I look back on them...the memories of each movie experience is as clear as yesterday! Wish I had thought of it years before...can only imagine all the schlock I've seen over the years along with the mega blockbusters!
really wish i saved all my movie tickets bro, me and my cousin used to go every week when i was a kid. So many great memories, because of him i fell in love with cinema.
19:55 for me I wish I'd seen Master and Commander in the threatre, the sound design even through the cheapest headphones I owned while watching it on a car Journey, is still one of the most immersive soundscapes I've ever witnessed in a movie. I can't imagine what it must have been like in the cinema.
I love special videos like these. My heart stopped for a second when I saw the Knockin on Heaven's Door ticket. The earliest one's I have saved might be from 2012 but I didn't start doing it consistently until around 2014/15.
Always wanted to do something like this but always thought there's no point because I never started before. Changed that mentality back in September when I saw No Time To Die, and I've been collecting all my tickets since then. Hope I can look back in a few years time and see an amazing collection that I have
Finally someone else who collects movie stubs!! Haven’t seen this until now. Started mine in 2008 right at beginning of high school. Love, love, LOVE to see the community around this!!
Pre-pandemic, my girlfriend and I would always take photos in the photo booth after a movie and we would both save the strips and write what movie we saw together on the back of the strip. I have only maybe 8-10 and since the photo booth opened back up again, I would love to start collecting them again.
I’m so happy you shared this. When I was a kid I had a diary and I used it for movie reviews. The two I can remember at the top of my head were Happy Feet and X-Men the Last Stand. I have saved movie and concert tickets for the longest time and I’m happy I’m not the only one. Watching you evolve into someone like me just loving movies into actually working on movies is inspirational. Don’t stop Chris!
Really cool to see that other people do this, too! I keep mine in a huge Geauga Lake (long-gone Northeast Ohio amusement park) beer stein that my brother gave me. It resides in a kitchen cupboard and I make it a practice to toss my stubs in as soon as I get home from the theater. The first one I have is either from Batman '89 or Batman Returns.
Seeing you become what you’ve wanted and getting all the tattoos is great. It’s sad your parents don’t agree with your new life but you now have your own family and kick ass fan base
It’s really cool to see a lot of the theaters I’ve frequented (Kent Plaza, Chapel Hill, Independence, etc.) on the tickets here! And a lot of them on my tickets. Cool stuff man!
One of my favorite things about having a movie ticket collection is just seeing how far back they go, like when you come across one that was from like 5 or 6 years ago and it just gives you that warm, fuzzy nostalgic feeling because it’s like “Wow, I can’t believe I saw *that* movie in the theater” Unfortunately I can no longer collect movie tickets because the theater I used to go to that handed out those tickets closed and the theater I go to now doesn’t do that sort of thing but it’s still fun looking back on the ones I did collect
I used to do this when I was young but... I just couldn't afford cinema a lot, so I kind of let it fall by the wayside. It really brings back that feeling though, awesome video Chris. :)
My first ticket I saved and still have is for Spider-Man, I was 4 years old. I lost my god damn child mind during that movie. I still remember, I was in head start. Just got out of class, and went to the theaters. I remember watching shred and seeing the first trailer for Spider-Man, start screaming lol most movie I see day one, opening night. Movies and theaters are a truly special experience that can be taken for granted. I’ve seen classics that have changed my life. Love your collection Chris!
I do everything digital when it comes to the theater experience now. It's just so convenient to get in and out. I buy online, walk straight up to get scanned, and grab my food. I do miss the momento of having a ticket stub though. I remember being a kid and having to make sure I had the ticket stub with me if I had to get up to use the restroom so I could be sure I could get back in -- even though nobody ever checked. I still have a ton left from when I was a kid. Jurassic Park is a big one for me. One of my all-time favorite movies and I remember every second of that entire experience with my mom and sister. Tickets are definitely a great way to keep a memory fresh and I regret not having more stubs saved.
Wow, The Time Machine?! I feel like nobody remembers that one. I remember seeing a trailer for it when I saw - I think - Cats & Dogs that summer. Funnily enough, that same year I took a sci-fi elective class at my junior high where our teacher one day showed us the original Time Machine and said, "They're coming out with a new version of it," but those are all I've heard of the movie. Also I'm so glad you've done this video! I don't see movies in the theater all that often (even pre-pandemic I didn't really) so I've never thought to keep my ticket stubs, although I think I still have the one for when I saw X-Men Origins: Wolverine during a college study abroad in Ireland.
I also love looking back at my old tickets and trying to remember which theater it was, what moment of my life it was, sometimes rediscovering movies I forgot I had even watched... anyhoo, loved watching you do the same and remember my own movie-going experience at the same time. Cheers
Going to the movies with someone who go just to past the time really sucks. That’s why I watch people like Chris to feel like I’m having a discussion with someone. So thank you Chris. I’ve learned so much from you.
Might be my favorite vid from you after following for yrs. Born in 87 & u remind me so much of me. Episode III was my 1st midnight showing. I kept AMC tickets on my fridge with a check on it if i liked it, or a X if i didn't
I thought I was the only weird one that for years collected movie tickets, I still have some but most of them are all blurry due to how old they are😅 but yeah I hate that theaters don't give out tickets anymore as often, at my local theater they give it to out but you gotta hand it back once entering, so it makes no sense to me.
Yeah I collect too. The ink doesn't hold up well. I hate that AMC doesn't print stubs like they used to. They'll print it on thin receipt paper if you ask though. It's not the same but I get it anyway.
I always thought I was the only one who did this! My earliest (and the moment I decided to keep these damn things) is from when I was a kid in November of 1988, "Oliver & Company," and my thousands of tickets now go up until the Top Gun Maverick pre-buys I have for Friday. I still print the digital stubs, too, so I can add them in. Nicely done, Chris! 🎬 🎞 🎥 EDIT (to make you 🤢) - I saw Phantom Menace in 1999, starting at midnight on opening day, THIRTEEN regrettable times in the theater, plus a 14th if you count that 3D re-release in 2012! Why did I do this to myself? I think it's because I got my license the week before the movie came out and, as I was the kid with the car, I became the defacto OG-Uber for the summer that was all about new Star Wars. Yes, it's a bad movie...but WOW did I immerse myself in it. Save your tix, folks, it's like a living time capsule.
I used to save mine, I think I still have a few from around 2012. But all of the theaters around me started printing them on receipts basically which for some reason made them feel less special, plus I buy them digitally on my phone sometimes, but I might start saving them again going forward. This inspired me.
I didn’t know the director of An American Tail: Fievel Goes West, We’re Back! A Dinosaur’s Story, Balto, and The Prince of Egypt is the great-grandson of the author of War of the Worlds, The Invisible Man, and The Time Machine 😳
My very first ticket I have is for The Amazing Spider-Man. Dang. Time flies. I kinda stopped collecting tickets but restarted with Sonic the Hedgehog 2.
I’ve been collecting movie ticket stubs since I was a kid, going back to maybe 2006/2007. A few years ago, my friend made me a shadow box to display them in and add more. It’s easily one of the best things she’s given me. It’s cool to see so many other people that collect their stubs.
It's amazing knowing that I'm not the only one who likes collecting tickets, and legit tho , i'm so so glad i'm not the only movie-loving nerd who keeps their tickets from like the 2000s, 2010s, and now
This made me feel equal parts happy and sad. Loved seeing (and reading the comments on this video from) a fellow movie lover who also collected their movie tickets. Felt very sad as all of my movie tickets were kept in my wallet as a kid and after years of collecting them when I was in high school so dickhead took my wallet and purposely destroyed my tickets (I had no money to steal). Broke my little nerd heart. My local theatre stopped giving out proper ticket stubs not long after (just flimsy paper receipts) so I stopped collecting.
AWESOME that you have a memento of Shyamalan’s “Signs” as it is a major inspiration which lead to you making your own film: “SHELBY OAKS”! Great trip through memory lane, and it’s influence on your craft.
I was waiting for this! 10:34 For anybody who is always praising the first movie to be the best. I have been studying 1-3 and I constantly re-watch them. Pirates of the Caribbean does not go downhill in writing after the first movie. That is your business to believe that opinion everyone else goes with. Dead man’s chest gave the characters more depth! Elizabeth and William barely have anything to work with in the first movie. William’s relationship with his father that was hinted in the first movie of his father‘s existence. Paid off wonderfully. William’s character had way more in depth now and you have something to truly care about him for. You get both perspectives when you understand their Reunion! Bootstrap didn’t want Will to become a pirate like him, he wanted him to have a free life from the pirate life. William had a hard time accepting he was half Pirate but when he accepted his life and his father… He has a new journey to stab the heart of Davy Jones to set his father free. And you’re implying William is better in the first movie just because he wanted to save the girl he loved? William in the second movie now has Elizabeth as a lover. And now a new journey to rescue his father someone else he cares about. And this became a difficult situation when bootstrap told Elizabeth at world‘s end. William has to make a decision. Either don’t kill Davy Jones so he can be with you. Or he does kill Davy Jones and set me free, but he won’t be able to be on land for 10 years. If I were him I wouldn’t pick me! :/ The emotional weight on William’s character gets better and better. Elizabeth in the first movie was just a damsel in distress girl. She wasn’t useless in the first movie but you get the point. In the second movie, Elizabeth learned to wield a sword and she used it in the battle. She pulled a gun to Beckett‘s head.. went on her own journey to save will. She has grown a lot since the first movie who was just an innocent girl! Elizabeth got better as a character in 2 and 3! As for Jack sparrow. He does not become a joke at all in all 3 movies. Jack sparrow is at his best in the second movie and in the third movie. There was a moment in dead men’s chest… Where Jack didn’t know what he truly wanted so the compass couldn’t locate what he desired. So when Elizabeth went on her journey and then found Jack.. Jack used her for his advantage! He took advantage of Elizabeth’s feelings by telling her if you want to save Will you have to want to find the chest of Davy Jones! In order to get will back.. That’s why Jack gave her the compass. Jack knew if he couldn’t figure what he wanted out he was going to get it out of Elizabeth. Since Elizabeth now wants to find the chest of Davy Jones to save will. This gives Jack the huge opportunity to find the chest to stab the heart in it. But instead he wants to control DavyJones before killing him. Jack sparrow is not stupid! When will was trying to stab the heart towards the end of the second movie. Jack knows just because Davy Jones is dead, does not mean the Kraken will be stopped as well. And you’re telling me Jack is dumb after part 1?? As for Beckett. He was a well executed villain who uses dialogue and negotiation to control people. The Reason why Beckett didn’t fire his cannons at worlds end. Was because it would be totally out of his character to use weapons. Beckett uses certain words to get through people and how to control them behind the scenes. Beckett at the end of the movie had nothing left to negotiate with. Davy Jones was dead, Jack sparrow is alive and well. Will Turner is now the new captain of the Flying Dutchman. Beckett had literally nothing to use against on people. He was caught in shocked and he decided to die.. Anyways I could defend the Gore Verbinski’s Trilogy all night. His trilogy is an underrated trilogy. It had great character writing and amazing detail of its depth. Also Will vs Davy Jones!!! 😈😈😈 when Will challenging Davy Jones. Davy Jones asks him how do you know about the key? Will replies and says, that's NOT part of the game is it? 😏 You can STILL walk away!! 😏 As for pirates 4/5 they are not even Canon they are filler movies. The story ended at worlds end! ☠️
Hello Chris. I really love your show "My Movie Ticket Collection" I also been collecting movie tickets and been meaning to put in an album. Thank you very much for sharing your experience.
The Phantom Menace and Revenge Of The Sith came out today 23 and 17 years ago. The Phantom Menace is not great, But Revenge Of The Sith is very good and is one of the best Star Wars movies.
@@nancykerrigan A lot of peoples first experience with Star Wars is the prequels. Empire is the best Star Wars Film of all time. Can't wait for Kenobi Friday.
you have no idea how happy this title made me!!! I have been collecting ticket stubs for my entire life and I loveee my tickets. even the ones I can't read anymore! my first one was oddly from The Passion of the Christ when I was a kid. I love my collection and I am so happy to see you have one too
I never thought of collecting movie tickets until my fiancee and I got together. She liked the idea of saving the memories and now we have a little collection of the films we've seen together over the years, in different places, even different countries, each with memories attached from those points in our relationship!
The 2 nearest movie theaters to me started doing like receipt-type tickets instead of the usual ones and I was genuinely sad. Definitely not as cool as the normal ones that's for sure. So I haven't been collecting them recently, but I do have a pretty large collection as well!
Hey Chris! First off, that video was extremely wholesome thank you for that. Also, could I ask how you save the tickets? Like is that just a photo album or...? because I have a collection I started a year ago and they are stacked up in an old DVD case but they have started to fade already due to them being sensor-printed on paper. Anyway, any tips would be greatly appreciated. 😊
Loved this video Chris!! I too keep my stubs, except mine are all in boxes and ziplock bags lol… I need to put them in a binder like you got. Also, loved the 500 Days of Summer shout out, that’s one of my all time favorite films! I’ve seen it an obscene amount of times. Take care and best of luck on your film Shelby Oaks!
I though all your friends were “social justice warriors” 😂 took me a minute to put two and two together. I’m an ex Mormon. I totally get the pain you went through and the trauma I’m sure you deal with still by choosing to leave and live your true life. Most people will never understand just how difficult it is to escape the grips of an intense religion like JW or LDS. You posting your story for the world to see is seriously heroic. Keep it up.
I’m a JW but I also love love love movies as well. I love both lol and I love your content. Thanks for being consistent and putting out videos. I will always watch them and enjoy them.
AvP is like a nostalgic “guilty pleasure” of mine even though I don’t feel an ounce of guilt for liking it. But when I tell people I like it I get weird looks, idk why.
Watched/followed Chris for years and enjoy his content but seeing he’s a Moonie just made me like him even more!😄I’ll be lookin for his Sailor Moon Cosmos review 🌙✨💗💙❤️💚🧡
Pathé, the biggest theatre chain in the Netherlands and the one closest to me, stopped giving out physical tickets when you make a reservation online, which I always do because it guarantees me the best spot in the theatre. They used to have these booths where you could either buy a ticket, or scan the your online code and it would print your ticket. I was building quite a nice collection but now I don’t get any tickets anymore and its such a shame because collections like those are so lovely and nostalgic to look at.
I immediately regret not keeping my movie tickets after seeing this video. Such a good idea to put in a memory book. Especially for us who love film.
I had the same thought.
Hey it’s never too late to start man, keep your future tickets starting now
SAME T SHIRT!
ME TOO 😫!!!
I've kept all of mine film tickets, be it paper or screenshots of digital ones.
I had one collection that spanned 5 years and lost it all in a move, devastating. This video just jumpstarted my grief. Thanks Chris
I feel your pain
Same
Hey it’s never too late to start collecting again
Happened to me too! RIP
Me too -_-
SO happy to know I'm not the only movie-loving nerd who keeps their tickets, because every film trip is an experience, regardless of good or bad. 🖤🎥✨

Such a sweet video to see in my notifications in the morning. Thanks for all the years of wonderful movie talk Chris 😊
I’m happy, this man is finally making a movie. It’s super unreal. Congrats, Chris! 😃

really wish i saved all my movie tickets bro, me and my cousin used to go every week when i was a kid. So many great memories, because of him i fell in love with cinema.
19:55 for me I wish I'd seen Master and Commander in the threatre, the sound design even through the cheapest headphones I owned while watching it on a car Journey, is still one of the most immersive soundscapes I've ever witnessed in a movie. I can't imagine what it must have been like in the cinema.
I love special videos like these. My heart stopped for a second when I saw the Knockin on Heaven's Door ticket. The earliest one's I have saved might be from 2012 but I didn't start doing it consistently until around 2014/15.
Always wanted to do something like this but always thought there's no point because I never started before. Changed that mentality back in September when I saw No Time To Die, and I've been collecting all my tickets since then. Hope I can look back in a few years time and see an amazing collection that I have
same.
Finally someone else who collects movie stubs!! Haven’t seen this until now. Started mine in 2008 right at beginning of high school. Love, love, LOVE to see the community around this!!
Pre-pandemic, my girlfriend and I would always take photos in the photo booth after a movie and we would both save the strips and write what movie we saw together on the back of the strip. I have only maybe 8-10 and since the photo booth opened back up again, I would love to start collecting them again.
That is such a cool idea 💡
What movies did you guys see?
I’m so happy you shared this. When I was a kid I had a diary and I used it for movie reviews. The two I can remember at the top of my head were Happy Feet and X-Men the Last Stand. I have saved movie and concert tickets for the longest time and I’m happy I’m not the only one. Watching you evolve into someone like me just loving movies into actually working on movies is inspirational. Don’t stop Chris!
Really cool to see that other people do this, too!
I keep mine in a huge Geauga Lake (long-gone Northeast Ohio amusement park) beer stein that my brother gave me. It resides in a kitchen cupboard and I make it a practice to toss my stubs in as soon as I get home from the theater. The first one I have is either from Batman '89 or Batman Returns.
8:08 so true! He is easily one of the most underrated directors. Doug Liman is another
I can’t stop thinking about the prices on those ticket stubs lol. Take me back to those times already
I love hearing you just talk about your history for your love of movies and seeing how far you've come it's so inspiring
Dredd in 3D was one of the greatest movie experience ever. Brilliant movie.
Seeing you become what you’ve wanted and getting all the tattoos is great. It’s sad your parents don’t agree with your new life but you now have your own family and kick ass fan base
It’s really cool to see a lot of the theaters I’ve frequented (Kent Plaza, Chapel Hill, Independence, etc.) on the tickets here! And a lot of them on my tickets. Cool stuff man!
One of my favorite things about having a movie ticket collection is just seeing how far back they go, like when you come across one that was from like 5 or 6 years ago and it just gives you that warm, fuzzy nostalgic feeling because it’s like “Wow, I can’t believe I saw *that* movie in the theater” Unfortunately I can no longer collect movie tickets because the theater I used to go to that handed out those tickets closed and the theater I go to now doesn’t do that sort of thing but it’s still fun looking back on the ones I did collect
I used to do this when I was young but... I just couldn't afford cinema a lot, so I kind of let it fall by the wayside. It really brings back that feeling though, awesome video Chris. :)
My first ticket I saved and still have is for Spider-Man, I was 4 years old. I lost my god damn child mind during that movie. I still remember, I was in head start. Just got out of class, and went to the theaters. I remember watching shred and seeing the first trailer for Spider-Man, start screaming lol most movie I see day one, opening night. Movies and theaters are a truly special experience that can be taken for granted. I’ve seen classics that have changed my life. Love your collection Chris!
I do everything digital when it comes to the theater experience now. It's just so convenient to get in and out. I buy online, walk straight up to get scanned, and grab my food. I do miss the momento of having a ticket stub though. I remember being a kid and having to make sure I had the ticket stub with me if I had to get up to use the restroom so I could be sure I could get back in -- even though nobody ever checked. I still have a ton left from when I was a kid. Jurassic Park is a big one for me. One of my all-time favorite movies and I remember every second of that entire experience with my mom and sister. Tickets are definitely a great way to keep a memory fresh and I regret not having more stubs saved.
you can ask them to print it for you, that’s what i do cause i like collecting stubs
Love to see continuous examples of your passion for film, Chris!
9:19 Saying “Cuba Gooding Jr is not in this one” then proceeding to laugh killed me 💀💀💀
I AM SO EXCITED TO SEE YOUR TICKET COLLECTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, The Time Machine?! I feel like nobody remembers that one. I remember seeing a trailer for it when I saw - I think - Cats & Dogs that summer. Funnily enough, that same year I took a sci-fi elective class at my junior high where our teacher one day showed us the original Time Machine and said, "They're coming out with a new version of it," but those are all I've heard of the movie. Also I'm so glad you've done this video! I don't see movies in the theater all that often (even pre-pandemic I didn't really) so I've never thought to keep my ticket stubs, although I think I still have the one for when I saw X-Men Origins: Wolverine during a college study abroad in Ireland.
I also love looking back at my old tickets and trying to remember which theater it was, what moment of my life it was, sometimes rediscovering movies I forgot I had even watched... anyhoo, loved watching you do the same and remember my own movie-going experience at the same time. Cheers
After watching this, I regret ever throwing away all movie tickets in the trash :(
Same
Going to the movies with someone who go just to past the time really sucks. That’s why I watch people like Chris to feel like I’m having a discussion with someone. So thank you Chris. I’ve learned so much from you.
Also I love hearing movie lovers talk about going a movie by themselves. I've had people think I'm so weird for seeing a movie on my own lol
Glad you collect your tickets as well, I try to show everyone my updated collection every year or so, every movie in theaters is an experience
Haha yes, I'm not alone! Turned 23 this year, so Ang Lee's Hulk was actually one of my earliest theater experiences I can remember!
Might be my favorite vid from you after following for yrs. Born in 87 & u remind me so much of me. Episode III was my 1st midnight showing. I kept AMC tickets on my fridge with a check on it if i liked it, or a X if i didn't
Almost at the 2 million mark, Chris! So happy with all you're doing, man.
just wanted to saying I’m loving this new era of your channel man.
I thought I was the only weird one that for years collected movie tickets, I still have some but most of them are all blurry due to how old they are😅 but yeah I hate that theaters don't give out tickets anymore as often, at my local theater they give it to out but you gotta hand it back once entering, so it makes no sense to me.
Yeah I collect too. The ink doesn't hold up well. I hate that AMC doesn't print stubs like they used to. They'll print it on thin receipt paper if you ask though. It's not the same but I get it anyway.
@@yeskev I miss the small square shaped amc tickets, they were thicker snd held up better. The thin rectangle shaped receipts suck
I was more excited than I expected to watch this video...so many random memories tied to movie tickets.
I always thought I was the only one who did this! My earliest (and the moment I decided to keep these damn things) is from when I was a kid in November of 1988, "Oliver & Company," and my thousands of tickets now go up until the Top Gun Maverick pre-buys I have for Friday. I still print the digital stubs, too, so I can add them in. Nicely done, Chris! 🎬 🎞 🎥
EDIT (to make you 🤢) - I saw Phantom Menace in 1999, starting at midnight on opening day, THIRTEEN regrettable times in the theater, plus a 14th if you count that 3D re-release in 2012! Why did I do this to myself? I think it's because I got my license the week before the movie came out and, as I was the kid with the car, I became the defacto OG-Uber for the summer that was all about new Star Wars. Yes, it's a bad movie...but WOW did I immerse myself in it.
Save your tix, folks, it's like a living time capsule.
I used to save mine, I think I still have a few from around 2012. But all of the theaters around me started printing them on receipts basically which for some reason made them feel less special, plus I buy them digitally on my phone sometimes, but I might start saving them again going forward. This inspired me.
I didn’t know the director of An American Tail: Fievel Goes West, We’re Back! A Dinosaur’s Story, Balto, and The Prince of Egypt is the great-grandson of the author of War of the Worlds, The Invisible Man, and The Time Machine 😳
I miss those orange recatangle AMC ticket stubs. Pure nostalgia
My very first ticket I have is for The Amazing Spider-Man. Dang. Time flies. I kinda stopped collecting tickets but restarted with Sonic the Hedgehog 2.
I wish I was able to get a physical ticket for Sonic 2.
I ordered mine’s online.
I’ve been collecting movie ticket stubs since I was a kid, going back to maybe 2006/2007. A few years ago, my friend made me a shadow box to display them in and add more. It’s easily one of the best things she’s given me. It’s cool to see so many other people that collect their stubs.
It's amazing knowing that I'm not the only one who likes collecting tickets, and legit tho , i'm so so glad i'm not the only movie-loving nerd who keeps their tickets from like the 2000s, 2010s, and now
Those light blue amc stubs bring back so many good memories!
This made me feel equal parts happy and sad.
Loved seeing (and reading the comments on this video from) a fellow movie lover who also collected their movie tickets.
Felt very sad as all of my movie tickets were kept in my wallet as a kid and after years of collecting them when I was in high school so dickhead took my wallet and purposely destroyed my tickets (I had no money to steal). Broke my little nerd heart. My local theatre stopped giving out proper ticket stubs not long after (just flimsy paper receipts) so I stopped collecting.
Maybe this is a sign you should start collecting or finding a way to remember the movie theater experiences you have again 🙂
:(
I used to collect tickets. I’ve still got them. My earliest one is for Copland from 1996 followed by There’s Something About Mary and Lethal Weapon 4.
AWESOME that you have a memento of Shyamalan’s “Signs” as it is a major inspiration which lead to you making your own film: “SHELBY OAKS”!
Great trip through memory lane, and it’s influence on your craft.
Damn this was really heartwarming. I just reminisced with you and felt all of this nostalgia. I love you man!
I was waiting for this! 10:34
For anybody who is always praising the first movie to be the best. I have been studying 1-3 and I constantly re-watch them. Pirates of the Caribbean does not go downhill in writing after the first movie. That is your business to believe that opinion everyone else goes with.
Dead man’s chest gave the characters more depth! Elizabeth and William barely have anything to work with in the first movie. William’s relationship with his father that was hinted in the first movie of his father‘s existence. Paid off wonderfully. William’s character had way more in depth now and you have something to truly care about him for. You get both perspectives when you understand their Reunion! Bootstrap didn’t want Will to become a pirate like him, he wanted him to have a free life from the pirate life. William had a hard time accepting he was half Pirate but when he accepted his life and his father… He has a new journey to stab the heart of Davy Jones to set his father free.
And you’re implying William is better in the first movie just because he wanted to save the girl he loved? William in the second movie now has Elizabeth as a lover. And now a new journey to rescue his father someone else he cares about. And this became a difficult situation when bootstrap told Elizabeth at world‘s end. William has to make a decision. Either don’t kill Davy Jones so he can be with you. Or he does kill Davy Jones and set me free, but he won’t be able to be on land for 10 years. If I were him I wouldn’t pick me! :/ The emotional weight on William’s character gets better and better.
Elizabeth in the first movie was just a damsel in distress girl. She wasn’t useless in the first movie but you get the point. In the second movie, Elizabeth learned to wield a sword and she used it in the battle. She pulled a gun to Beckett‘s head.. went on her own journey to save will.
She has grown a lot since the first movie who was just an innocent girl! Elizabeth got better as a character in 2 and 3!
As for Jack sparrow. He does not become a joke at all in all 3 movies.
Jack sparrow is at his best in the second movie and in the third movie. There was a moment in dead men’s chest… Where Jack didn’t know what he truly wanted so the compass couldn’t locate what he desired. So when Elizabeth went on her journey and then found Jack.. Jack used her for his advantage! He took advantage of Elizabeth’s feelings by telling her if you want to save Will you have to want to find the chest of Davy Jones! In order to get will back.. That’s why Jack gave her the compass. Jack knew if he couldn’t figure what he wanted out he was going to get it out of Elizabeth. Since Elizabeth now wants to find the chest of Davy Jones to save will. This gives Jack the huge opportunity to find the chest to stab the heart in it. But instead he wants to control DavyJones before killing him. Jack sparrow is not stupid! When will was trying to stab the heart towards the end of the second movie. Jack knows just because Davy Jones is dead, does not mean the Kraken will be stopped as well. And you’re telling me Jack is dumb after part 1??
As for Beckett. He was a well executed villain who uses dialogue and negotiation to control people. The Reason why Beckett didn’t fire his cannons at worlds end. Was because it would be totally out of his character to use weapons. Beckett uses certain words to get through people and how to control them behind the scenes. Beckett at the end of the movie had nothing left to negotiate with. Davy Jones was dead, Jack sparrow is alive and well. Will Turner is now the new captain of the Flying Dutchman. Beckett had literally nothing to use against on people. He was caught in shocked and he decided to die..
Anyways I could defend the Gore Verbinski’s Trilogy all night. His trilogy is an underrated trilogy. It had great character writing and amazing detail of its depth.
Also Will vs Davy Jones!!! 😈😈😈
when Will challenging Davy Jones.
Davy Jones asks him how do you know about the key?
Will replies and says, that's NOT part of the game is it? 😏 You can STILL walk away!! 😏
As for pirates 4/5 they are not even Canon they are filler movies. The story ended at worlds end! ☠️
Hello Chris. I really love your show "My Movie Ticket Collection" I also been collecting movie tickets and been meaning to put in an album. Thank you very much for sharing your experience.
The Phantom Menace and Revenge Of The Sith came out today 23 and 17 years ago. The Phantom Menace is not great, But Revenge Of The Sith is very good and is one of the best Star Wars movies.
Revenge of the Sith is the first and only SW film I've seen in theaters thus far.
@@nancykerrigan A lot of peoples first experience with Star Wars is the prequels. Empire is the best Star Wars Film of all time. Can't wait for Kenobi Friday.
you have no idea how happy this title made me!!! I have been collecting ticket stubs for my entire life and I loveee my tickets. even the ones I can't read anymore! my first one was oddly from The Passion of the Christ when I was a kid. I love my collection and I am so happy to see you have one too
Huge fan. Just watched this movie on Amazon called Emergency. Would really like to know what you think about it. Can you do a review?
James Mangold’ did one of my favourite westerns ever! 3:10 To Yuma, so underrated!
I never thought of collecting movie tickets until my fiancee and I got together. She liked the idea of saving the memories and now we have a little collection of the films we've seen together over the years, in different places, even different countries, each with memories attached from those points in our relationship!
The 2 nearest movie theaters to me started doing like receipt-type tickets instead of the usual ones and I was genuinely sad. Definitely not as cool as the normal ones that's for sure. So I haven't been collecting them recently, but I do have a pretty large collection as well!
AMC gives the receipt stubs too. Such a shame. I get them anyway though for the memories.
The Fountain is one of my favorites! Great idea for a video, Chris!
Hey Chris! First off, that video was extremely wholesome thank you for that. Also, could I ask how you save the tickets? Like is that just a photo album or...? because I have a collection I started a year ago and they are stacked up in an old DVD case but they have started to fade already due to them being sensor-printed on paper. Anyway, any tips would be greatly appreciated. 😊
I have the same question ! I want to know what kind of binder or album that is !
I don't know how he saves it, but if yours are fading, I guess you could take a picture and print that, so it survives a bit
Loved this video Chris!! I too keep my stubs, except mine are all in boxes and ziplock bags lol… I need to put them in a binder like you got. Also, loved the 500 Days of Summer shout out, that’s one of my all time favorite films! I’ve seen it an obscene amount of times. Take care and best of luck on your film Shelby Oaks!
I though all your friends were “social justice warriors” 😂 took me a minute to put two and two together. I’m an ex Mormon. I totally get the pain you went through and the trauma I’m sure you deal with still by choosing to leave and live your true life. Most people will never understand just how difficult it is to escape the grips of an intense religion like JW or LDS. You posting your story for the world to see is seriously heroic. Keep it up.
I’m a JW but I also love love love movies as well. I love both lol and I love your content. Thanks for being consistent and putting out videos. I will always watch them and enjoy them.
Where's your "the Northman" review?
This makes me wish I would have saved my movie tickets. Remembering those experiences and where you were at in life are priceless.
Will you review Top Gun Maverick?
This was a great video. I really enjoy these types of videos, and its one of the reasons youre one of, if not my favorite, film critic on youtube.
AvP is like a nostalgic “guilty pleasure” of mine even though I don’t feel an ounce of guilt for liking it. But when I tell people I like it I get weird looks, idk why.
Watched/followed Chris for years and enjoy his content but seeing he’s a Moonie just made me like him even more!😄I’ll be lookin for his Sailor Moon Cosmos review 🌙✨💗💙❤️💚🧡
It’s been known for a while that he’s a sailor moon fan
Pathé, the biggest theatre chain in the Netherlands and the one closest to me, stopped giving out physical tickets when you make a reservation online, which I always do because it guarantees me the best spot in the theatre. They used to have these booths where you could either buy a ticket, or scan the your online code and it would print your ticket. I was building quite a nice collection but now I don’t get any tickets anymore and its such a shame because collections like those are so lovely and nostalgic to look at.
