One of the most overlooked actors of his generation. That face just screams movie star, i just think he looks so cool and is so talented in front of a camera
Can recommend his some movie? I'm new:)
Totally agree. Underrated actor with a beautiful range.
@@Suj765 Animal Kingdom, The Gift, Warrior, Master Gardener
Yeah I at least look into any movie I see he’s doing.
Movies stars used to look like Cary Grant. He looks like your average unshaven white male let’s be serious
"If you like being uncomfortable and disturbed" say no more.
My kinda film lover!
❤
"Man Bites Dog" really needs at least a Blu-ray update.
YES. I was holding off on buying the DVD for so long waiting for the blu ray release. But said "fuck it" last week b/c it's not happening anytime soon
"CIIIINEMAAAA"
FACTS!
Bonjour ma petite madame,bla bla bla et LA LA MEME hahaha has got to be one of the most funniest scene ever.
So does The Killer....from Criterion, i know its been released elsewhere
He was great in Schrader's Master Gardener. Definitely one of the most underrated films of 2022. Why are so many of Schrader's films so underrated? I mean, I know they tend to do well critically but they become way too forgotten to time & he's made some masterpieces.
"I love films that make me feel, or make other people feel, uncomfortable." 🙌🏼
i much preferred him in Master Baiter
Most of Schrader's films are very similar. That's a big reason why. I understand what he is trying to explore, but it's not everyone's cup of tea to watch that type of character over and over.
Seriously. People don't give him enough credit for the variety both in his style and in character. Show someone that doesn't know Scharder Mishima, Light of Day, and Auto Focus, and there's no way they'd know they're from the same person
He's made 23 movies, and only like 4 of those could be classified as the journaling guy in his room movie (5 if you want to count mishima), with 3 of those being in the last several years. And the pickpocket ending is something he's only done three times. I don't know why some people like to pigeonhole him so much
@The56567878 Don't forget Light Sleeper. Love that one, too.
Edgerton is the type of actor that has consistency to everything he does. In almost all features i have seen Joel in he always brings his game to the big screen. Some actors you can see that their heart is not in it but not with Joel. Even if the feature ona whole might not work for me i can always rely on Joel giving me something good. I think my favorite so far is his own feature THE GIFT. A psychological thriller drama.
Great actor, seems like a genuinely good dude. Check out his movie The Stranger, if you haven't.
Both him and Sean Harris are phenomenal in The Stranger... I found that movie out of luck and it blew my mind. I felt sick afterwards.
Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung are two of the greatest things to happen in live action movies. They're what introduced me to martial arts movies and Jackie Chan Adventures was how I first discovered Jackie Chan and Cannon ball Run.
Love it that he got The Wages of Fear!!! Such an intense film!!!
Knowing that Joel said Man Bites Dog is a disturbing film makes me wants to see it now. And he got a bunch of free movies!!! Jealous!!!!
I wonder what he thinks of Sorcerer
As a Belgian, Man Bites Dog is one of the few truly fantastic movies our tiny country can be sincerely proud of - of course there's the Dardenne brothers and Chantal Akerman, but this is on another level of shocking cinema. Some other underappreciated Belgian films in the genre: Calvaire (aka 'The Ordeal'), Patrick, Brussels by Night, and Bullhead.
It was a film ahead of it's time in 1992...the ultimate abundance of "reality TV" hadn't really happened yet...and the movie seems kind of prescient now. I remember reading about it in Film Threat magazine back in the day when it came out and it was one of the first instances of "I'm surprised that Criterion is doing an edition of that movie" that I had.
@@KClouisville Yeah, looking back at it, its prescience was amazing in a way.
@@wilsonsecaur1015hell yeah dude I love Sorcerer!!!
Great actor and writer/director!
Joel Edgerton and Ruth Negga in "Loving". Such powerful performances!
So good!
As a New Zealander I did smile that Mr “I want to see true stories of the south” Jeff Nichols put an Australian in that role facing off a New Zealander as the sheriff.
But zero complaints, just that thing where you’re used to seeing actors in local roles using their real accents and suddenly they’re taken out of that context.
One scene was filmed at old Richmond Dragway. I’ve lived near and was raised in that area since the 70’s.
Thank you Joel for your work in “Warrior”. A modern classic.
Should be in the collection. Not kidding. I think it’s the best sports film released in my lifetime.
@@syncretismistruth2023 unfortunately. I get why. It’s a very mainstream film. I feel like it’s one that is much more thoughtful and emotional than most. Very artfully crafted I’d argue too.
That movie is so damn good
He absolutely nailed his comparison of Jackie Chan to Keaton and Chaplin. Such a unique talent.
Tarantino loved Man Bites Dog as well, great picks, Joel.
Friedkin's Sorcerer is even tenser than it's predecessor.
Yeah, as a Belgian, it's one of the few truly fantastic movies our tiny country can be sincerely proud of - of course there's the Dardenne brothers and Chantal Akerman, but this is on another level of disturbing cinema. Some other underappreciated Belgian films in the genre: Calvaire (aka 'The Ordeal'), Patrick, Brussels by Night, and Bullhead.
The bridge crossing in Sorcerer could’ve been a film just by itself, along with the downed-tree scene.
I would also mention Ex Drummer, a true bastard of a film. @@R.B.564
@davidgoodfellow2257Inglorious Basterds isn't that tense a movie, plenty of comedy and silliness and over the top parts. Only tense scene is the first one
William Friedkin seriously doesn’t get enough credit as a director - The French Connection changed modern day cinema
Met this bloke when I worked hospo in Bondi junction. We had a lot of Aussie artists and actors come through and he was the most normal of them. Regular guy, paid an interest in one of my coworkers who has worked as an extra on Gatsby, looked like he wasn't getting enough sleep. Wish him well.
First saw him in Star Wars, favorite work is The Gift, his directorial movie. He's rarely had a bad movie.
He was also phenomenal in Warrior with Tom Hardy and Nick Nolte. Just 3 incredible performances right there.
@@riseofazraela great great movie
"Man Bites Dog," appreciator. Respect.
WAGES OF FEAR!! One of my favorites. Some scenes in that one are purely nail-biting!!
Definitely. All of the tension without most of the bells and whistles. Streamlined thriller
@@jcole4517 Yup, it doesn't even seem like a lavish production -- there are a few visual FX but they're hardly noticeable. That scene on the switchback with the cabled platform can still give me chills!
Watching this video evokes a very poignant feeling. I haven't bought a DVD or Blu Ray in a long time. I haven't looked at the stats but I keep hearing that physical media is slowly disappearing and the rise of Netflix and streaming services means that so many great movies out there may never be accessible eventually, you are simply told to watch what the curators at Netflix and other streaming services tell you to watch. There's something really comforting about watching someone standing in a little closet full of DVDs and browsing through them. Listening to the rattle of the disc in the case, the crinkling of the shrink wrap when he turns the DVD over in his hands, the shuffling of feet on the floor is really quite delightful.
Yes, good stuff, but all that shuffling makes it really difficult to hear what he's saying!
"Here's a film you really should watch, it's scçrrrraccetty chhhrz, just amazing!"
Holds up the box, with his hand covering it, it's the size of a postage stamp, can't read it. Very frustrating, cause I would really like to check out his faves. Sorry, I'm grumpy today....
Australian Legend 🇦🇺🫡
Joel probably saw BENNY'S VIDEO on SBS in the 90s like I did.
That movie screened a few times on Australian TV.
Shout to des mangan
@@ry8102Des was absolutely one of the most influential people in my life.
The Saturday Cult Movie was monumental and I will never understand why it isn't still going today.
@@ry8102 ❤ Those were the days….
What a humble guy, gotta love him
!!!!!Man Bites Dog!!!! what a classic.
"Mit liv som hund" is like the swedish version of "400 blows" . Saw it at 12 and had also huge affect on me. 6 years later I saw 400 Blows and it touched me exactly the same way.
The Hero (aka Nayak) by Satyajit Ray is excellent. When I watched the dream sequence for the first time, I was surprised it was from such an old movie.
The stranger was one of my favorite movies of 2022, I saw it back to back and saw it again the next day
It Comes at Night
MASSIVELY underrated post-apocalyptic movie!!!
More like it sucks
I turned it off lmao
Never even finished it
@@Njbear7453 don't even bother it sucks ass
@@randomreviews4278Nah, It Comes at Night was good.
An Aussie picking up Ray's stuff ....extraordinary.
Edge! Fuckin' love this Aussie. He elevates every flick he's in. You made it to the Criterion closet! Cheers, mate.
I truly loved his performance in Warrior.
Can I just say respect to Joel for taking a Satyajit Ray film just because he hasn't seen it yet, and can I also say he will be blown away because it is my favourite film from Ray's filmography, even more than the Apu trilogy
Decent Swedish pronunciation too - bonuses all round.
Really hope he directs more, really loved The Gift and Boy Erased
Great picks from a great actor.
He was really great in Master Gardener, I hope he continues to get great roles
Great guest for the closet, and some great picks. Likes the edgy stuff, Haneke and MAN BITES DOG are top pics in that area.
I love Joel. So talented definitely deserves more leading roles in major productions.
Such a quality actor! Brilliant director as well. The Gift is such a good film, really went under the radar.
One of the most charming guests to have appeared on this series, and what an excellent choice of films, I shall buy Man Bites Dog on his recommendation. Loved his film Boy Erased, have it in my collection.
Love the My Life As A Dog shoutout.
That was a good one. Thank you.
Man Bites Dog 4K coming when??
A wonderful cyclical moment. I watched the Safdie Brothers episode and watched one of their recommendations My Life As A Dog and now Joel Edgerton does too whilst also picking up Uncut Gems
Saw you at my climbing gym in Chicago about a year ago!
I first saw him in kinky boots. He was such a simple charming guy trying to save the family business. A few years later I saw him in warrior and I knew that he was going to be epic and anything he played both humble or fierce.
"I love films that make people feel uncomfortable." This point of view continues to elude me. "If you like feeling uncomfortable and disturbed..." yes, please, I'll get in line for that.
@criterioncollection Hooray for fixing the Lynch-audio issue! The audio and video qualities are as excellent as ever.📽✌
What lynch audio issue? Explain
@@landondonovanify Sure. The previous few picks had some background noise issues which were referred to as Lynch noise, as they sounded like sounds from David Lynch's movies. 📽
@@flyingasuka😎
Excellent taste
What a legend. Mr. Edgerton is a force!
Love the Cache call out. Definitely need a 4K or at least blu ray update.
Thx for the invite Joel... I wanna come to your house and watch this film with you. 👍👌
Loved The Gift. Good actor
One of my favorite actors, and he’s written screenplays for several productions (such as 2008’s The Square, terrific film) and directed two solid feature films, as well.
Been in more movies I’ve enjoyed in recent years than I can instantly recall, Master Gardener being one but certainly those Jeff Nichols’ films he starred in, among others. This is one actor whose opinion I’d definitely take very seriously.
Another vote for the Wages of Fear. 🚛
Howdy Joel✊💫
Joel and Nash as DIRECTOR ( everyone really) from GRINGO was awesome..
Looks like a lot of fun..
I found FELON to be a moving performance ( Maybe one of his most impressive!)
A Cache release would be great!
Love his work
My kind of choices!
Nice picks from an excellent actor-director - I just noticed that there's a whole shelf in there that starts above his head, that I've never seen anyone pick from - and below, is there a whole other shelf beneath the range of the camera? And how much higher do the shelves go, beyond range of the camera? Are they infinite? It feels like they might be lol
He's cute ❤️
I love how Joel always pours his heart and soul into acting/directing, and always delivers a stellar performance on screen. Especially loved his role as Sam Carter (The Thing)~
He was a great part of the Gatsby. Being a Father is one of the greatest gifts.
He needs to be on a Scorsese film. I ❤ his work.
In the stranger this fella was absolutely incredible
Joel Egerton in The Stranger, amazing performance!
The Gift, which Egerton directed and co-starred in is such an underrated psychological horror film. It ends on such a horrific note but also such a perfect note that makes you think about the choices that were made by the lead character and how it snowballed.
Brilliant as an actor, a director, and a writer.
He's known for sure, but i think Edgerton is still such a slept on actor for how consistently he delivers to anything he's in. The range he gives his work in front and behind the camera is super impressive.
Brilliant...
He just grabbed "Nayak" (Hero) by Satyajit Ray @0:47
to the videomakers of this videos: please titles of the movies in view WHEN MENTIONED BY THE GUEST, and possibly DVD covers too
He was incredible in BRIGHT. Still hoping they make a sequel with him
I served this dude a sandwich once and he shook my hand. He’s solid.
The King, I hadn't seen a film with such an intimate portrayal of medieval bro's before, his own acting, and his direction of the other actors was with such a fine touch, whatever he say's about being intimidated, he shouldn't be, he's a proper film guy!
The late and dearest William Friedkin was here 😢
Master Gardener release otw?
Legit should be one of the biggest movie stars, honestly. Versatile and excellent. Good director too!
It Comes At Night is a very underappreciated apocalyptic thriller, and he was excellent in it.
I love how he expresses his admiration for movies that make one feel uncomfortable then moments later chooses a Haneke film. Right on the nose 😆
Thankful to this day that every film class I took had us watch The bicycle thief
Gran actor y director 👏
Honest, intelligent guy. Refreshing to see picks not based on any "agenda", just curiosity and great filmmaking, which is as it should be.
Very nice. If he likes films that make people uncomfortable I am surprised he didn't take a copy of Shoah.
Midnight Train. Can’t beat an actor who plays under the radar
So when is The Gift gonna be on the Criterion Collection?
what a great actor
After he mentioned Man Bites Dog I was expected a Bad Boy Bubby shout out. Nope. Then I came to find out it's not apart of the Criterion family. Hopefully one day.
He was awesome in The Gift🤘🤘🤘
An Edgerton sounds like someone who is really good at showing restraint at the point of climax.
are there any joel edgerton movies in the criterion collection?
If not, I nominate Animal Kingdom
One of the best working actors in the world.
I wish I could go in there and select the movies I’m having trouble finding to watch
Uncle Owen himself
I am from Northampton, and when I watched Kinky Boots I was sure the lead was also from Northampton!
Mr Edgerton nailed that role and the accent. I am a straight guy and I don't really have any feel-good films in my collection apart from this one... which is a film essentially about a transvestite.
Masterful casting and performances all round from Joel Edgerton, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Sarah-Jane Potts who is so cute it hurts!! 👍🏻🇬🇧
Even if he’s stating that his knowledge of film history is limited, you can tell that he’s learned from those encyclopedic individuals, and has an intuitive understanding and sense of taste. Could’ve fooled me. Very very good picks
My favorite Falstaff
Underrated actor, criminally so. Just look at his work in GATSBY, for example. All-star cast and yet he steals every scene.
if I had the money these stars have I'd go online or to a store and order criterion's entire collection in one go, yet, these stars are surprised at seeing most of these titles, and never say "I already have all of these", they seem to miss titles super well known (imagine not having wages of fear!) , and this guy is not like he's 20, he's 49!! I don't get it
He’s a work dog and so is his brother.
Where’d he get his jacket?
Absolutely fantastic in Black Mass (2015)
Loved Joel since smoking aces “cinnamon roll?”
