The Greatest Lesbian Gangster Heist Movie Ever Made 

As of this writing, you can watch Bound with ads on Tubi (bit.ly/3ptpiGY) or Pluto TV (bit.ly/3pIAb87). If you can afford it, I’d recommend spending the $2.99 to watch it ad-free on RU-vid, Amazon Prime, Vudu, or Google Play. Enjoy!

You ever just watch a video that so thoroughly sells you on a movie you have to stop watching it because you don't want the spoilers

I love how the movie had no shame in making it a lesbian movie. They weren’t afraid to say it. I wish there was more lesbian movies like this. I also like how it didn’t feel like they were fetishizing the lesbians either, meaning making them lesbians for men to watch. Instead it felt genuine.

I love the use of the word lesbian in this video. People usually avoid saying it to say gay or queer or Sapphic but this movie is specifically lesbian and totally cool.

The Greatest RU-vid Title I Have Ever Seen

So the Wachowski´s have always liked short-haired women dressed in black. Also Joe Pantoliano.

DEAR GOD THAT'S A GREAT TITLE

a detail I liked was that Corky's lockpicks had earring hooks on them so she could make practical use of those piercings while on the clock

I have literally no idea how I’ve never heard of this.

I have been singing this movies praises for *years* , considering the success of their follow up movie I'm surprised more people don't know about this one.

9:06 Wait, is he literally "laundering" the money?

can we just give Jennifer Tilly some love RN.

YES I've been trying to get people to watch Bound for years.

"Lesbian Gangster Heist Movie" Is this a thing? Is there an entire subgenre I have to go watch all the movies in now? Edit: I know Jojo P6 exists but not in anime format and I wanted movies

I love "Bound"! And it is so underrated, thank you for bringing more attention to it. And your analysis opened my eyes to things I didn't even think of. Hope you enjoyed the holidays and happy new year!

I was literally just complaining last month after ‘happiest season’ how tired I was of f/f movies only ever being coming out stories or downers! Thank you so much for bringing this film to my attention!!!

Really, my cousin took me to everything, "gay" in the nineties. Never seen this one. Thank you, will share👍

One thing not mentioned here is how off the charts smart Violet was. She outfox the mafia, which leads to Corkys comment at the end about how they were alike. Violet was one smart cookie.

I feel cheated about not knowing this movie exists until now. Let alone a movie with Jennifer Tilly playing a wlw character????? I need to watch this movie ASAP

That chase scene near the end of the movie between Violet and Cesar is one of the best chase scenes outside of a horror movie I’ve ever seen and I still remember that moment 20 years later.

I wish the Waschowski's would've stuck to making great subversive genre movies like this for a bit longer. A slasher with a 'final boy', or a western where the damsel has to save the cowboy when his planned shoot-out goes awry. Could've been great.

This movie is prolly on the top 10 greatest lesbian movies. I love how it wasnt femxfem instead they brought in a masc lesbian who is also a switch. It was such a confident booster for me because im a masc and yet im a switch and sometimes i think my height will get in the way if im being topped. I feel like 79% of femxfem movies are just for guys with a wlw fetish and people can tell that it is for those type of people who see it as a fetish. Really glad this movie was made

OMG YESS!!! One of my all time favorite films! And possibly the first time I ever saw lesbians being portrayed on screen

Is there more than one lesbian ganster heist movie!?

Saw title: "This has to be Bound!" Sure enough!

This movie blew me away! SO GLAD I gave it a chance. The pacing, the tension, the humor, the cinematography, the performances... its amazing!

Literally the best movie ever made, really disappointing that after this one and the matrix they never really made anything that good again 😔

At first I was wondering why I had never heard of the movie before but I just realized I didn't get to the end of the "Top 10 Lesbian gangster heist movies" list.

The fact that I learned about the matrix in a film class and there was no mention of this movie... smh

For years I have coveted my love for this movie. It was one of those of shoot ones that most people hadn't seen, and if they had was over shadowed by the later works of it's creators. As someone who went on to love film, and genre I always came back to this film and was saddened that so few people saw it's brilliance and shared the love I felt for it. Just watching this video you've made has brought me so much joy. Knowing that someone else was able to see the the brilliance in the minutia and appreciate the aesthetics and legacy of this film. It makes me feel like I wasn't so alone all the those years ago.

Two years after, I finally watched this tonight. Thank you so much for your video, it was amazing!

I just watched this on your recommendation and it was amazing. Knowing your insights before I watched it made the experience better. Thanks!

My arm is FAMOUS now.

this analysis is soooo good. thank you so, so much for making it

This is such a perfect movie. There is NO weak link in this film. From the 2 main female leads to Joe P to Chris Merloni. One of my favorite characters was Mickey, I've never never heard of him..I never saw him in anything but that character was so captivating, he didn't fu*k around. The last 40 minutes has to be one of the best suspense filled moments in film history. I've introduced this film to people under protest and every single one of them thanked me for being so persistent. Again, the film is PERFECT. When The Matrix came out in 1998 I didn't see it based on the reviews, I saw it because the Warchaskis directed it. I didn't pay for a ticket to see the Matrix, I paid for a ticket to see the movie created by the4 directors of this amazing film. This is in my top 10 of all time. I think I'll put it on now! :)

How have I not seen this movie?! Thank you for the great video!

One of my favorite movies. So much to like - cast, dialogue, acting, set design, costumes, lighting, camera, music... All actors had great chemistry. Definitely deserves multiple viewings. Jennifer Tilly is to me the acting highlight of the movie, although everyone else was amazing too.

Impeccable insights! Not many recognise Bound for the milestone it really is. This analysis does just that, and so perfectly. Thanks for this.

oh god I got SO excited seeing this notification, I love Bound

Excellent video. You’ve opened gateways to me loving this movie even more

I completely forgot about this and am so excited to watch it tonight! Thank you!

My goal in life is too make the second greatest lesbian heist movie ever made

How do we not know this film!!!! Thanks for sharing

I saw the title and knew exactly what this would be about LOL I mean it's not exactly like that's a broad genre, but I'm just astonished anyone else knew about this movie. I remember watching Bound in college and only because I had a lot of film major friends

Lucy, The Best Woman Turning Into A USB Key Movie Ever Made

OK I'm immediately adding this to my watch list.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention! 🙏

I first saw part of this in '99 on network television. After the plot really got going, I turned it off and drove to Blockbuster Video and rented it (gawd, I miss Blockbuster so much). I absolutely loved it! I immediately bought it on VHS; then I got it on DVD; and I even went so far as to order the Blu-ray from overseas! I've watched it with all of my friends, and I just got through watching it with my 18-year-old daughter who loved it as much as I do.

going to see this in the cinemas today! been meaning to watch it since i first watched this video

Love this movie, and didn't know a lot of the history of film theory behind it. Excellent analysis. I learned a lot.

I NEED to watch this movie, thank you so much, I didn't know about this

Never heard of this movie at all, which I find odd and unsettling and more than a little disheartening. Anyway, it's $4.99 on Amazon Video right now.

great video!

I had this movie on vhs tape and watched it hundreds of times. I almost forgot it. Thanks for reminding me & this awesome analysis.

Love Bound. Saw it quite a few times back in the day. Not seen it in at least a decade though, will have to rewatch it.

I just watched the movie before seeing your video, it's a good 90s movie, the script is solid, but it doesn't feel as tense as it should feel for a heist film, now I'm gonna see your video

THANK YOU FOR INFORMING ME THAT THIS MOVIE EXISTS holy moly I had no idea I'm hype

Really nice video! Keep it up!

at the end of the nineties I was just starting to really love movies, I watched this in home video just after watching Matrix in a theater. Wow, brilliant.

I can't believe Bound will be 25 years old in 2021. Amazing film.

How have I never heard of this movie?? 3 minutes into the video and I have to pause to come back after I watch the full film. Also, 10/10 title btw - the algorithm is gonna eat it up haha

Thank you, This movie looks amazing!

Brilliant Video

Great video on a great movie, so pleased to see this in the sub box. Now do a video on the second-greatest!!! lol

Got this bad boy on dvd in 2000. Just looked interesting, then I saw who directed it, then I had to have it. No regrets.

I was obsessed with this movie for a time

How have I never heard of this? You’ve convinced me

I want to give this video 1000 thumps up. also must check out Bound right away.

I need to watch this movie!!! My gay heart can't live without it! 😂 How have I never heard of this?! It looks amazing!

"The Handmaiden" also is a lesbian heist. It came out a few years ago. You should check it out!

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who remembers Bound.

watching this movie with my bf (t4t relationship) changed me as a person. I'm worried that this is about to be my new hyperfixation because of how much I adore this movie.

This was an excellent movie great cinematography I noticed everything this whole review and commentary was on spot

i watched the first two minutes of this, bought the movie, watched it, and then finished watching this. this video is 100% accurate. just sayin'

Siskel & Ebert loved this film upon its release. It made their top 10 lists at the end of 1996. Without those guys, I doubt I would’ve ever seen it.

This movie rocked my world when i was like 15. Id never felt floored by a movie before

Saw this in the theater. Sooooo good.

It was good man! Boy, those girls were sneaky, but brilliant and very lucky!

I still watch that movie regularly. I love it

saw "lesbian" and came running. there really isn't enough lesbian movies for a lesbian audience

Ok so I've only seen the Matrix out of Lana and Lilly Wachowski's films (barring V for Vendetta if it counts), but this inspired me to finally get into their other work soon. Great content, as usual!

My favorite Wachowski movie

Damn shame movies like this aren't made anymore.

Hmm, dang. This movie looks quite awesome. Gotta check it out!

Watched it. Great movie!! Definitely one of the best ganster heist movies. Thinking about other lesbian movies if that what you would call them. What about the "The Handmaiden"

If The Handmaiden (2016) counts as a Gangster movie (a group of elite involved in underground activities, more Mafia-like), that movie would be a strong contender.

Thanx for reminding me that this great movie exists :)

Bound is iconic! Love love love

so like i know everyone's talking bout how great a title that is but man can we just get a round of applase for this like even though it's just a description i think that in those 8 words the title is both intresting, accurate, uncommon, original, and tells you alot about the film

Lol. I love Bound. I don't realize it was a Wachowski film.

fantastic movie. watched it again earlier this year.

Well I know what movie I'm watching tonight. I'm a mad fan of both the lead actors & had never even heard of the film.

I'm always amazed how few people know about this movie considering how many people know about the matrix.

have you made an analysis for this is england? would be nice

Okay, okay, imma hold you right there. I'm going to watch the movie first and then come right back

Haven’t watched this whole video but does “Set It Off” ever get a mention?

Thankyou

wtf I'm amazed I've never heard of this before!!

I can't believe I forgot about Jennifer Tilly for so long.
