WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THE ELVIS MOVIE REVIEW LMAOOO
finally, thank you! I literally screamed after his words
I LITERALLY CAME HERE TO COMMENT THIS OMG
So cute the way he said it lol
i was thinking the same thing lmao
LMFAOOOOOO I WAS SMILING MY TITS OFF
Jack Edwards to movies is Emma Chamberlain to reading. It feels like it came out of nowhere but give them time because we might get some refreshing takes.
since u got ur degree
@@sanoja7846LMFAOOAAO
bro are you in every booktubers comments??? i swear i see you everywhere
@@zsujaz I like tuning in to booktubers.
emma chamberlain shares the most pseudointellectual takes and people eat it every damn time. i was 13 when i had much more valuable thoughts. like the things that she says literally are underneath the ground
One day I’ll watch Casablanca, but today is not that day…and neither is tomorrow.
I watched it four times already. And I loved every second of it 🥰
😂
It's a cliche to say this, but it's *so good*.
Casablanca is my favorite movie so you should watch it the day after tomorrow
It's my favourite movie too- just such a classic and exquisite masterpiece ✨
Love that “one sentence” means one paragraph to you !! ❤ one sentence wouldn’t be enough
he's a literature major truly

Jack I assume you didn’t as it wasn’t in this video, but are you going to the Eras tour, or were you gonna see the film in cinemas? Regards, a book lover fan of you and a Swiftieeeeee
thank you so much
Jack: "I do love the craft of storytelling."
Also Jack: "I'm never going to watch CASABLANCA."
yeah he'll come around eventually.
My thoughts exactly 😂 I believe in you, Jack!
I’m soooo curious as to what his perception is of this movie, especially after his comment about not watching it even on the 20 hour flight!
@@movingforwardLDTH judging by Jack's taste in film it's probably that it's "too old".
Eh, I also tend to not run towards movies considered "the best of all time", not bc they're old classics, but bc I'm pretty sure they aren't gonna suit the mood I'm in and if it's such a good movie according to others then I'd wanna wait until I WANT to watch it. They usually end up being a bit disappointing though lol
I love how almost all of these have more than one sentence
Casablanca is not the overrated boring old movie that a lot of people seem to assume it is 😭 sometimes the thing that everyone says is a masterpiece is actually a masterpiece and this is one of those times!!!
Agreed
Yeah like that argument could be made for Citizen Kane (I say this as someone who likes Citizen Kane, it’s not that entertaining a movie) but Casablanca is just…actually great. It aged pretty well too.
Casablanca and citizen kane are two movies i watched for the first time this year- loved them both!!!
@@caloucalai Sometimes classics are classic for a reason! My husband and I have a new year’s eve tradition we started a couple years ago where we watch Casablanca and drink French 75s, 10/10 would recommend!
@@bibliophilecb Exactly! I found Citizen Kane hard to watch. (I've heard that if you know a lot about film history, which I don't, it becomes more interesting.) But Casablanca is a very accessible movie. I watched it for the first time was I was still a teen. Also, the script is so tightly written that it's used as the main example for how to build a script in Roger McKee's Story (my textbook when I took script-writing in college).
Remember when you told us the reviews would be one sentence each?
it must be so difficult carrying the weight of being correct every single time but u pull it off so effortlessly
One day boredom will win, you will watch casablanca and the next day I will receive a notification for a 30 minutes long video called "so guys, I watched casablanca and I'm so sorry", I am absolutely sure of this
obsessed with the fact that like none of these are one sentence
Jack in the Movies??!!!?? There were fireworks, and I felt them at my core. So as a film student I think this is my time to shine. Here's some of my recs in one sentence!
- Big Fish (Tim Burton, 2003): the perfect movie with its cinematography, editing, plot and storytelling which are so engaging and touching.
- Persepolis (Marjane Satrapi, 2007): an animated film that is visually stunning and emotionally resonant.
- Life Itself (Dan Fogelman, 2018): the script is simple, the movie is beautiful and poignant.
- The Father (Florian Zeller, 2020): the story is brilliant and presented so delicately and delibaretly the film becomes alive and stays with you for a long time.
- 12 Angry Men (Sidney Lumet, 1957): a masterpiece that made me realize you can create miracles in a single room, to make a film or to challenge people’s prejudice.
- Green Book (Peter Farelly, 2018): a heartwarming and brutal story placed in a roadtrip plot with excuisite acting and editing.
these are really nice recs!!!
I watched the big fish shortly after losing a loved one and it destroyed me
I saw Big Fish and knew you were amazing
The hold Casablanca has on people is so strong that people completely ignored Jack saying he didn't see Elvis because it was a Netflix and chill situation and commented on how he MUST see Casablanca 😂
LOL YOUR ELVIS REVIEW 😂
you should talk about movies more often!
I am so glad you made this video! I love how you describe and discuss things so to hear you talk about movies is a delight.
4:20 was perfect opportunity to say it made you “wail”
omg jack reviewing movies is something i didnt know i needed in my life!
Would honestly kill for more movie-related videos from you 🙏
I have a perfect movie recommendation if you want to literally cry for days. The movie's called "Close."
It's a French/Dutch movie but it has subtitles. It's about friendship but takes some turns and I just could not stop crying. I cried the entire night I watched it.
my favorite movie of the year, and I just rewatched it last night going into the new year, and yep I bawled again lmao
@@GuacamoleInMyShoes mine too! I'm scared to rewatch it because I couldn't stop crying the last time🙈
@@keanancupido omg thats so relatable considering it took me almost a year just to watch it again, and I thought going in knowing what happens would make it less sad..... i was so wrong 😭
I have NEVER been so deeply impacted by a movie before. I had no idea of the plot going in and it was absolutely heart shattering. It took days to recover but a perfect 5⭐️ for me.
@@zoemarie1646 I agree it literally shattered me and I also took a couple of days to recover. I am still thinking about it months after I watched it. I'm so scared to watch it again 😭
Normally I am a “Live and let live, like what you like, you don’t need to see anything you don’t want to see” type of gal.
But you should watch Casablanca. I only saw it for the first time about three years ago, long post-film degree. On a grey afternoon, get cosy and whack it on. It’s breathtaking.
i'm just gonna say this... this is the first video of you i've ever seen and i literally started loving you after like 10 seconds like idk how you did that but you somehow convinced me that you're the nicest person to ever live after like one sentence that's crazy
Casablanca is better than any movie on this list it's utterly fantastic and honestly Jack would probably enjoy it
Love the way you review your films. Short and sweet. Great, look forward to your 2024 film reviews.
Babe you didn't do a every book I read this year video last year, so please don't fail us this time! I love those videos 🥺
Me need more of these videos from you Jack.. sublime!
I love your reviews!
Jack! Please, please, please, watch movies by Alfred Hitchcock!
Vertigo (1958), Psycho (1960), North by Northwest (1959) - ALL incredible movies!
I’d also recommend David Lynch’s Elephant Man (1980), Mulholland Drive (2001) & Blue Velvet (1986).
Go into these movies completely blind, it’s the only right way, I promise!
The Swedish movie adaptation of A Man Called Ove from 2015 is really really great! Haven't seen the American one yet, but I truly love the Swedish movie.
love the movie takes from u! would love to see more in the future
you should do another story graph update for 2023! just got into it again and rewatched your 2021 video
The fairy lights on the bookselves look so cute😍
The fact that you had not ever watched “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” before is astounding, as is the fact that you had never watched “Good Will Hunting.” Happily, you had the correct opinions of both of them. 🙂
‘casablanca’ was one of those movies i put off for YEARS, thinking “one day i’ll watch, i have to” because it’s just one of those classics that keeps haunting you wherever you go, i would literally be reminded of it at least 5 times a year every single year. this year, they projected it during one of my classes (mandatory presence) and you know what? for a black & white film, it aged like the finest of wines. i’m not a big fan of b&w, i don’t know why that is, but ‘casablanca’ is so incredibly well made that i didn’t feel bored for a second 🫢
Watching more movies was a big goal of mine for 2023 and I utterly failed! But this has motivated me to try again next year and I appreciate having a few ideas to add to my list!
You should do a video comparing books to their movies and rate them
It's bizarre to me to hear someone talk this way about Casablanca, because it seems to come from an assumption that it's some sort of dry intellectual movie, and that that's the reason critics love it. It's actually just a really good middle-of-the-road adventure melodrama movie that is totally accessible to anyone, but one which also just happens to be the most perfect movie of this kind ever made.
You got me interested in a few of these, thanks.
Oh my god! I loved that kafka citation for the girl with the pearl earring!! Loved the way you made it the complete antithesis of it's original meaning 😂😂
the good will hunting review is so real. ive seen it so many times and it will forever be my fav movie of all time
I kind of forget how good it is in between viewings and then it’s always a pleasant reminder when I watch it again
Casablanca has the best smoking acting tied in first place with The Maltese Falcon.
ready player one is one of the best books i’ve ever read and that adaptation did it SO dirty.
CORRECT
Triangle of Sadness and Black Swan 🖤 I finally just watched Saltburn and loved it!! I'm adding Emily, Good Will Hunting, Glass Onion and King Richard to my list. Thank you Jack!
King Richard is great. I'd watch that one first.
there was already a film of 'a man called ove'. It's really good and a more faithful adaptation of the book
We need a part 2 to this
this is huge
Confirmed, top filmtuber watches top booktuber
I don't know if you've seen the Dead Poets Society(it goes perfectly with Good Will Hunting for me) yet but i'm sure you'd love it
Yes, dead poets society has all the dark academia literary vibes that jack would love!!!
Also Mona Lisa Smile! I love that movie so much
Yes! I was thinking the same thing when he mentioned "Good Will Hunting". Also "School Ties" with Brendan Fraiser gives off a similar vibe as well.
Omg AMAZING MOVIE. I'm pretty sure he mentioned it in the dark academia video, if I'm not mistaken he read the book and said the movie was better, so you're right!
i was just like you with Casablanca... just like you.. but it is very heartwarminggg! don't let the hype overwhelm you!!
Thanks for the recs because i dont like watching movies tbh but these look and sound stimulating
Old movies can be super fun, engaging, and above all have great scripts! I used to be scared of them - some are black and white even! 😂 - but it turns out they have fantastic characters and narrative and depth, which our CG world often (not always!!) sacrifices.
Super Mario was a smile I needed for a dreadful year personally.
I thought the exact same thing about "everything everywhere all at once" but you formulated it better :D
I think it's ironic that the channel name is "Jack in the books." And everyone knows the relationship of books and movies.
wish I had seen this video earlier, would have got some good recommendations to watch over the weekend!
If you enjoyed The Menu, you might like Hunger about a Thai street food cook who gets a chance to work with a celebrity chef at his restaurant. There is a chef-off later in the movie that is spectacular. And if you enjoy food-related movies in general and not just ones where snobby, entitled people get their, ahem, just desserts, Big Night with Stanley Tucci and Tony Shaloub is one of the best.
Jack, I’m begging you on my hands and knees to watch Shape of Water and Promising Young Woman (Emerald Fennel’s directorial debut), and review them
Promising young woman was one the greatest movies I've seen this year. Carey Mulligan deserved an Oscar one day. Del Torro's movies are among the greatest too, Pan's labirinth & The Shape of water especially.
Thanks for reminding me that I still haven’t watched Glass Onion. Maybe this is the final push I need.
PS the shy delivery of that Elvis review absbsbbsns I’m not okay
Your description of EEAAO was accurate
Happy holidays jack take some well deserved time off 🎉😂
We need more‼️‼️
THE MOST REPLAYED BIT OF THE VIDEO IS SOOO FUNNY😭😭😭
I've watched good will hunting this year too and it's just soooo good!! So nice that you liked it too❤️
I was hooked into this video by the idea of “one sentence” but your sentence is really long monologue
Weirdly, "Get Out" is the only movie of Jordan Peele's I haven't seen, but I'm so darn hesitant because I didn't like the others. I've heard "Get Out" is his best one, so maybe I'll still check it out. It's just hard for me to see the hype around the other two. I still love hearing what Jack's thoughts and feelings are on movies though.
(And I agree that "Everything Everywhere All At Once" is a masterpiece. Such a wild ride, and fucked up in the best way possible.)
I've seen all his films and Get Out is definitely his best, you should give it a chance!
"Us" is definitely the weakest, but not liking Nope is crazy. Give Get Out a shot though, it's a blast and easier to love than Nope I think.
jack im gonna need u to talk more about movies because u speak at such a good pace for my adhd brain
Past Lives also smashed my heart into a thousand weeping pieces 💔 sooooo good
saltburn is literally my life rn, like everything in my life revolves around saltburn and barry keoghan
Ok ok ok. Casablanca is FANTASTIC! I first watched it in high school and I loved it and have watched it multiple times since (I'm 34).
Okay but, Casablanca slaps.
Amazing movies Jack ❤
Including Elvis after all is a vibe, hahahahaaa! Here for it.
Oh woah, Jack Edwards movietuber era, lets GO
The fact that you watched the goldfinch film before reading the book has just killed something inside me because it’s my favourite book ever but omg the film is a snoozefest
9:28 the way i burst out laughing during this part no wonder it's the most replayed part 😭😭😭 also yay i've found my 2024 watch list!
Wanting a charcuterie board of red white and royal blue is so real. Such a dumb yet fun and low-key emotional movie
yay we're back to jack randomly reminding us he went to durham
the of an age slander is crazyyyy
I love that you enjoyed the menu because that is actually an S tier movie and more people need to jump on that train right now
Jack... Really you should watch Casablanca, its really good.
No why was the outro so wholesomee
That’s way more than one sentence.
I came for the one sentences.
"I want a charcuterie board of this" perfect comment omg
you can still watch Anatomy of a Fall such a masterpiece
Girl with the pearl earring is one of my favourite quiet, contemplative films! Also beautifully shot. Go on, give it another go!
The book is so much better, with this one. I don't remember the movie, but I still think about the book. It was a 5 🌟 for me, I might read it again since it is set mostly in winter ❄️
Yes, I loved the film. it has the sense of quiet you need to paint. Particularly as Vermeer painted in such a meticulous style.
He did the reverse of what I aim to do next year lol
I would love for you to read Tove Janssons books. Her writing is stunning
I second this! The True Deceiver, The Listener and The Summer Book are my recs by her!
Omg. I watched Black Swan in the theater 5 times, and wrote a paper on the use of color in this movie. Soooo fricking good.
Also, Past Lives took my breath away.
The bullet train take hurt me to my core. I loved that movie
Since you liked Black swan, watch the japanese film Perfect Blue, Aronofsky might not want to acknowledge all the "influences" he got from Satoshi Kon but he got them, the film is dark and brilliant and sad. Hope you like it
What an adorable person omg 😂❤
If Jack Edwards ever watches Casablanca...we'll need to check in on him. Apparently that'll have been his lowest moment
I don’t consider myself a film buff but when you talked about Casablanca… man just watch it ok 😂😂
omg you have to see Poor Things!!
i'm really surprised at what you said about saltburn! i thought the writing was the worst thing about it
AFTERSUN is an exquisite emotionally charged 💎 of a film. Highly recommended!!! 🧡🧡🧡
There are so many golden age films that don’t get mentioned as much as other classics, but anything with Dorris Day or Audrey Hepburn usually hits the mark.
I am like that about Gone With The Wind...60 years of avoidance.
