Film history, movies, directing, writing, editing and everything else that goes into this wonderful art form. Oh yeah, and bad jokes. You've been warned.
@@TonisFilmClub Sure :) As a starter pack, I would suggest: - Kumbalangi Nights (Prime Video) - Ee.Ma.Yau (Prime Video) - Sudani from Nigeria (Netflix) - Joji (Prime Video) - Jallikattu (Prime Video) - Guppy (Prime Video) - The Great Indian Kitchen (Prime Video) These are some of the best Malayalam movies from the 2000s, but if you dive deeper into the 70s, 80s, and 90s, you can find some great classics like "Kummatty," which Martin Scorsese praised in his Instagram post two years ago, and many more great films:-)
@@TonisFilmClub do the glasses that all the most famous characters have, where you can see the dark glasses and you can't see their eyes, do they have the Crystal green polarized color of the lenses, or the classic grey?
Thank you! Which ones peaked your interest? And happy to hear - it would be super fun to go through the lists as I don't fully really remember which movies are in them.
Fabulous video! One of the best you have made so far, and it was nice to be able to contribute to it. It was interesting to hear your approach to watching movies, especially because I find my own habits being quite opposite. I avoid even minor spoilers like the plague and never watch trailers, wanting to go in as blind as possible. Lots of great movie recommendations, and yes, your lists would be an interesting topic for a future video. If you make a second video, which you really should, I recommend any of the three movies mentioned below, which have in common that they were created by the magical Czech mastermind Karel Zeman. His movies blend live action and animation to stunning effect. - Journey To the Beginning of Time (1955) is a fantastical story which utilises stop motion to bring dinosaurs to life long almost 40 years before Jurassic Park. - Invention for Destruction (1958) merges hand drawn sets and props with clean live action footage in a story inspired by Jules Verne. - The Fabulous Baron Munchausen (1962) uses both animation and love action to create a tale of great comedic effect and beautifully unique visuals. All of Karel Zeman’s work has his distinct and magically charming touch. In his 1949 short film Inspiration (which may be the most visually beautiful movie that I have ever seen) he animates using glass. I know a community post might pop up to ask for suggestions, but I just had to mention this here too! Great video! ⭐️
Well, now that we've broken the ice, you should feel more than welcome to type your comments. And I will be especially looking forward to your recommendation next time around!
I'd love to hear your thoughts if you end up checking some of them out, and even more so if you have any recommendations. Something tells me you'd have some good ones :D
If you like Undercover Blues, you could check out the The Thin Man movies or Witness For The Prosecution or The Secret of My Success or Innerspace or V.I. Warshawski...
Regarding the use of English in India, it's actually the second most spoken language after Hindi. Many people in the northern plains of India speak a mixture of Hindi, Urdu, and English. Of course, the reason for this linguistic blend is rooted in our colonial history. 😅 I am glad that you mentioned watching "Pather Panchali," as well which is also one of my favorites. It's actually made in Bengali, another major language in India. India has 22 official languages and thousands of dialects and smaller languages, each with its own film industry. While the Hindi film industry, commonly known as "Bollywood," is the largest, films from South India are gaining popularity. For instance, the recent success of "RRR," originally made in Telugu, has brought attention to the "Tollywood" industry. Similarly, there are vibrant film industries in Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, Bengali, Marathi, Assamese, and many other languages. Unfortunately, films like "Udaan" don't always do well at the box office, which is why they often fly under the radar for international audiences. However, I'm glad you included it in your video, and it's wonderful to see it recognized among your favorite films of all time!
Thanks for taking the time to make this video and put thought into what you said about everyone’s movies (especially the lookalikes🤣). You’re dedication to your community sets you apart from other RU-vidrs. And you flattered me hard with that shoutout so thanks for that too😁
In Undercover Blues, their last name is Blue. But in both that and Miami Blues and Biloxi Blues and Varsity Blues, "Blues" means "having the blues" (the negative aspects of something).
I'm definitely doing this again so make sure to subscribe - that way you won't miss the community post asking for recommendations. And a HUGE thank you to everyone who suggested movies this time around. I had a blast ❤ In the mood for more?

Wouldn't it be absolutely wonderful if the Cannes Film Festival and the Oscars gave out a yearly award to filmmakers who specialize in innovative movies in Alice-Guy-Blache's name?
There are a number of websites which stream nearly any show and movie ever made for free. A few years ago I was on one of those sites watching "1917" and I can't recall the text verbatim but on screen were several watermarks each stating something like "FOR OSCAR CONSIDERATION." The only time I've ever seen that but it made me wonder how that particular copy of the film made its way online and frankly, how all of those units of entertainment end up online.
I gotta ask man, how do you bring such a passion for cinema into real life? I don’t have anything to do with it but have spent years and years and years learning about cinema and watching film’s - I am way too poor to make one, and live on an Island with not the best reputation for art, i have the money to fly somewhere else, but yeah idk - idk how to get involved in filmmaking at all.
Trust me - I get it. I think you've already checked the first and most important box - having the passion for it. Then, as long as you have a phone and internet connection - you can make something and put it out for the world to see. Things can happen!
5:00 between this, and the girl’s face darkening as she spoke have reaaaaally made me want to watch this, I probably will the next time it’s cold indoors.
@@TonisFilmClub Yeah, I’m pretty set on this one, and I have a lot of free time- I’m actually in a homeless shelter rn, so outside of thing’s I want to do, nothing but free time, but it’s nice as hell out which is uncommon where I live, It’s raining and 15 degrees on Sunday, so this is when I’m going to- talking about it after is simply an agreeable bonus, I’d love to- and a thank you- for introducing me; I’ll definitely come back with my opinion- I can’t wait to to see it 🤟🏻
West of the Tracks and Evolution of a Filipino Family are two 10 hr film’s I watched - obviously Satantango as well - I’d rewatch all 3 - The Cure for Insomnia is 87 hours but, as far as I know- not all that good
Good point! Between those and The Cure of Insomnia, it can be slightly tricky what is technically considered a movie. There is one called "Logistics" which is 857 hours long but it is an art project. For the purpose of this video I narrowed it down to a movie in the traditional sense - with a narrative. I will check out the first two you mentioned!
A lullaby to the sorrowful mystery is an 8 hr film by the same director as the Filipino Family one which I would recommend over it- there is genuinely always the “pretentious and boring” criticism, but seriously I loooved that one I never had the faith in Cure for Insomnia to watch it to know about the narrative structure - I kind of checked it out and quickly said na
I really enjoyed "Alice Guy Blaché: Lost Visionary of the Cinema" - a book I read when I did a video about her. It has a lot of really interesting bits about the early days of cinema, and even before it.
@@TonisFilmClub I was watching / rewatching a lot of cinema before cinema was cinema stuff (so the book recommendation is perfect, I know Alice Guy Blaché), as well as archived film’s - found Pussy’s Breakfast which tbh was just aesthetically nice - and went on to try and find every pre 1910 film involving cats and breakfast, ideally both, there are unsurprisingly not many left, I found about 16 titles such as Kiero’s Cat that are entirely lost, and 5 film’s not including the one you used (albeit Mme Koehler in it is in both Pussy’s Breakfast and The little girl and her cat as far as I know) - anyway 💀 that’s how I found your channel
Finally someone who gives One Week the appreciation it deserves. Imo it deserves to be named in the same sentence as Sherlock Jr. and The General when it comes to Keaton's all-time greatest films. If anyone wants some more recommendations: Pretty much anything by Fritz Lang, FW Murnau and Victor Sjöström.
I love me some wayfarers, however I don’t like the arms because they’re so wide and obnoxious looking. I like the route other brands have have done when creating their own wayfarer with more slender and refined look, particularly in the arms.
Its called a tear stick. It only makes your eyes watery. Its why the tears arent running down her face. Like rubbing vicks underneath your eyes then wiping off.
Studies indeed showed that piracy doesn’t harm sales. And it makes sense to me: if I can’t see a series then I won’t be bothered to pay 10€/month (or more for fuck’s sake) to see it, not even knowing whether I’ll like it; but if I can see some of it for free I might grow affectionate with it, or generally I might start to think that it is worth the money. (There was one study in particular that came to this conclusion called “Estimating displacement rates of copyrighted content in the EU” commissioned by the EU itself, I wanted to link it but RU-vid really despises links in the comments and probably thinks I’m a spam bot)
Precisely! Interesting to see if this will change now that a lot of the streaming services are joining together to offer bundles. Maybe we will have 2-3 major “bundle teams” against each other? Thanks for mentioning that study, will check it out!
If this continues, then in the year 2050 there will be these little things called “theaters” where you can get early-access views of the latest TikTok movies.
Loved the avatar bit at the end lol. Might be genius marketing but I honestly can’t imagine a rougher experience than watching the entirety of mean girls on TikTok :)
Watching a movie on tiktok was a whole new cinematic experience. In the mood for some more film club?
