I found Submarine in highschool, it's a movie that really touched me in a way i could never understand. The bleak depression of awkward adolescence is something that is unique and captured perfectly in this film.

10:34, I just want to point out that in the book Oliver actually follows through with poisoning Jordana’s dog even though it later dies by being ran over. Oliver is so much worse in the book, they toned him down a lot for the film.

Submarine is an amazing movie, not to mention its even better soundtrack. Kudos to Alex Turner, he did incredible.

Why did i think the thumbnail said sublime

A potential review of all of the Wimpy Kid books is something I never realized I needed

Submarine is such an underrated movie, thanks for giving it some more love!

This is the first time I’ve heard of and I’m already intrigued. Also the Wimpy Kid toons on Disney+ should’ve been a full tv series

Please do more of these kinds of videos. I love it when RU-vidrs talk about movie most people might not even hear of like your video of Tear Across the Dotted Line.

The sudden transition to Mark saying "not those ones" is golden

Wimpy Kid, Goosebumps and Captain Underpants probably were the things carrying kids reading skills in the late 2000s / 2010s

I find out this movie because of the soundtrack by Alex Turner (I'm an Arctic Monkeys fan). I can agree the soundtrack is absolutely phenomenal. The music gives off a sense of melancholic nostalgia, fitting for the themes of the film.

I first watched Submarine when I was around 14 or 15 and honestly it hit me so deep and I really felt understood during that time of my life. I’m also a huge fan of Alex Turner and the music was perfect. Everything about it is just so perfect for what it is

I loved Diary of a wimpy kid as a kid. Especially when Manny called Greg "Bababooey"

Wimpy Kid is without a doubt one of my favorite series of all time. I remember in Elementary school here in the states, I picked up Ugly Truth in the school library and I fell in love the style. From there I was begging my parents to get me the books. Then on that fateful christmas day back in 2012 I got every single book (1-7 and the Do it yourself book) and got the second movie on DVD. I was able to get every single book in the series so far since then. I am grateful I grew up with this series, they were always so entertaining with its plots and characters. And tho, I am little more critical with the movies since my childhood, I will say that they are incredibly nostalgic. Tho the new movies have failed to live up to the og trilogy, I still always have it as a part of me. I will say tho that The Long Haul is one of the worst movies I have ever seen, the tone is really irritating. And the animated ones, not being terrible, are just lifeless, Nickelodeon esque cash grabs with no real soul. My question is how come that test footage shown in 2020 was so good but the actual final product looks so stiff. I have legit seen garry's mod animations on youtube that look more high quality than the animated series on plus.

You can't hide it any longer mark. We know you have taken on the legacy, the legacy of the wimpy kid.

I’d have loved to have seen a cabin fever live action movie with the original cast with some ugly truth elements thrown in there. I’d have totally been on board with that decision.

This genre was definitely overdone, but the good ones were so damn good. The Way, Way Back is probably my favorite. It's got a few cheesy only-in-a-movie moments, but it's so earnest. You also get Steve Carrell playing against type as a serious piece of garbage. Edge of Seventeen, and Hailee Steinfeld's performance in it, is also really great and pretty similar to Submarine in terms of the main character's arc.

I unanimously adore Submarine from beginning to end. Life changing film for me. I need to check out the original book it was based from.

I work at a movie theater in the city, and we had a screening of the new diary of a wimpy kid movie with Jeff coming as well. Safe to say that he still has steam left in the tank for more books, but not enough when it comes to the movies.

Great video as someone who has such low esteem that they think every action they do is some narcissistic manipulative 4d chess move to be as selfish as possible without seeming like it i love these types of characters

If you still want to see more coming of age movies Mark. There exist Napoleon Dynamite, Rushmore, The Graduate, and the filmography of John Hughes which defined this genre of teenage flicks.

Honestly, Mark, you should make more videos about stuff you just like. Id love to see more stuff like this, it reminds me of that Curious George video you made ages ago.

This is genuinely a great way to introduce stuff to people click bait away i love it

Coming of Age films are one of my favourite types of film, I love to see how each film tackles growth and change. One of my favourites is the film Sing Street, it's an Irish film about a boy (Connor) with a poor family life trying to impress this girl (Raphina) by starting a band and discovering who he is and what's important to him throughout it. There are some truly powerful scenes in the film with Connor and his brother and Connor and Raphina with a soundtrack I personally love made with mostly original songs. I think if you enjoy coming of age films, Sing Street is something you should check out :)

My expectation to Submarine was pretty high but HOLY SHIT I was wrong, cuz this was Amazing

This film almost reminds me of FLCL (the first series) in a way. Except without all the wacky robot shenanigans. Its a similar look at a coming of age story and how people react to their world changing around them. Maybe in a slightly less passive way though but still the same general vibes are there. Plus it also has a great soundtrack too.

This movie had been on my radar for a while. A huge Arctic Monkeys/ Last Shadow Puppets fan, Alex Turner's soundtrack has always meant lots to me. When I finally turned 15, I finally checked out the film, the same age as Oliver... I love romance, the idea of being on an ethereal plane of existence... Im the kind of person whom pictures their life as a film, loves to read, and would totally give those books to my lovers! Also suffering with suicidal ideation - Honestly, this whole film just felt like a big ol' call out, I felt like Oliver and I were 80% the same person... Anyways, amazing someone mentioned this film!

was not expecting this to be so depressing and unfortunately relatable at times but- great video 👏👏

Submarine is my favourite movie! The cinematography, direction, acting and soundtrack are so well done!

Thank you LS Mark. For showing me both Tear Along The Dotted Line, and this. These two pieces of media are some of the most oddly relatable things I’ve ever watched, yet never knew existed, and I gotta give kudos to you for sharing these fine pieces of media to us, the viewers. This is the content I like to see, content that exposes the viewer to new and different things they’ve never experienced. It’s honestly just amazing.

I think it's nuts that Greg Heffley did all that.

Not even a single mention that Richard Ayode directed this film, that alone should be selling point.

As someone who has an estranged relationship with my father, The Last Straw goes so hard.

When you first described the movie, I thoguh you were boutta talk about that 20 years later fan fic 😂

I’ve cried so many times to the submarine soundtrack

Yes, Aqua Teen Hunger Force really does tackle the Wimpy Kid topics but in a more mature way.

"You're not going to find any zoo-wee-mama's here" Well do you want me to watch it or not?

So cool you talked about this movie! Definitely my favorite ever, it changed my life back when I found it in 2018, and to this day I still find it so beautiful and unique. Also, the soundtrack is like, the greatest thing ever made.

I love this film so much and it was so interesting learning your view. Please, please, please just do more of these videos where you gush about your favourite films I will watch every SINGLE ONE!

im surprised you didnt mention its directed by richard frickin ayoade

Richard Ayoade definitely knows how to write awkward, unlikeable characters who are nonetheless captivating. For all ten of you who haven't seen it, watch Garth Marenghi's Darkplace. Garth and Dean Lerner are like the worst outcome for someone like Oliver, where they've clearly never had that crucial moment of realisation at the right age, have stayed emotionally stunted well into adulthood and, worst of all, have somehow ended up with a platform and power over others. And all of this is just what you gleam from the little you see of them outside of their in-universe "characters". Incredible writing.

But does Rodrick kill a man with acid?

im so glad more people r talking about this movie! submarine is a wonderful film

been waiting for this video since yesterday and it drops the SECOND i sit down to eat? love you man

It's funny you mention this film as Submarine was literally a film I was studying for media studies last year, comparing it to Clueless. We were comparing the way these films pulled off the rom-com genre.

haven't watched submarine yet it sounds really good! i'll give it a watch

This is by far the best structured and emotional and well voice overed review so far. keep up the good work Lsmarkitable plushie. Looking foward to you talking about diary of a wimpy kid for 3 hours

I cant believe Mark did a full retrospective on a movie nobody really knew by just mentioning Diary of a Wimpy Kid

I really liked the part in Diary of a Wimpy Kid 4 when Greg said to Rowley, "I'm not the kind of fool who's going to sit and sing to you.".

While "Submarine" isn't my favorite movie, it's one that I respect a lot for looking at the coming of age film genre differently. It has such a unique tone that I still sometimes think about it every couple of years.

i’m so happy u made a vid about this

Verrrry clever Mark, disguising this as a diary of a wimpy kid video, and then, when we least expect it...BOOM, you talk about a niche, not well known movie that is only related to wimpy kid in theme, and, like you said at the end, you just used winpy kid as an excuse to lure us in and talk aboht thisnother movie you love. Well, I'LL HAVE YOU KNOW that Im definitely planning on checking out this movie now, and thank you for bringing more attention to it

This movie is basically a serial killer origin story

15:15 The most beautiful song ever written. Just listen to the raw emotion, the energy , the power. No song has ever had such an effect in my life.

this movie gives me pretentious letterboxd user vibes

Submarine is like my perfect movie. Just because it’s a good movie set in Wales

Amazed someone is reviewing this movie. It’s one of my favourites ever and no one ever talks about it. Thanks Mark 😊

Can’t wait for the “Every Diary of a Wimpy Kid movie ranked” video in January 😂

I loved this series as a kid, And I still love it now!!

Id never expect to see LS mark, diary of a wimpy kid, and Alex Turner all in the same thumbnail Edit: I forgot Submarine was a movie! I discovered it because some the soundtrack's songs are by Alex Turner

This is one of my favorite movies I saw this year and I love the Alex Turner soundtrack so much. The way I actually knew what songs those were 😭

I love this film - so glad it showed in my home page / subscriptions because it’s so underrated

this is my favourite movie and i'm so glad it hasn't been totally lost to time tysm mark xoxo

Do more videos like this. I love seeing you gush about random movies, fun stuff

8:13 "fucking hell you're a serial killer" I think that was the funniest fucking response ever!!!

Literally was shocked when I saw this on my recommended. Submarine has always been my favorite movie. So much so that when I worked at Regal I put it on my name tag as my favorite movie.

Mark clickbaited us into watching British Diary of a Wimpy Kid. Lol.

OH MY GOD THIS IS MY FAVORITE MOVIE IVE NEVER SEEN ANYONE TALK ABOUT IT EVER I LOVE YOU SM

I watched Submarine tonight as soon as I saw your video. Outstanding recommendation Mark. Thank you.

Never seen the movie never heard of it and I’m already wondering where I can watch it. Your words are powerful Mark you must use them carefully do not use them for evil

Was not expecting this being covered

The video isn’t what the title makes it seem like it’d be at all, but I don’t mind. It’s great to see Mark just talk about something he likes and wants to share, I think these types of videos are most fun when Mark is clearly interested in the subject, even when I’ve never heard of the movie before.

Can you please acknowledge more underrated unknown movies because they need more love and you have the right kind of attention that could help get these movies more love

Whole video I was trying to figure out where I'd seen the main character before. Now I realise he was in Tracy Beaker, Young Dracula and Being Human. 3 things I loved growing up. And the girl is Maria from SJA!

The sonic mega collection music works so well!!!

This has been one of my favorite movies ever for the past 10 years. Thank you for bringing more attention towards something I believe more people should watch

Did a part get cut out from the video? I remember him mentioning something about the scene where they "walk into the ocean" but it's not there anymore.

I could never have expected this video but i also feel that i have been waiting for it for years

Alex turners songs that played throughout the movie are genuine so good

Fantastic movie. Also as a random half-factoid I'm like 95% sure Ben Stiller had something to do with it getting made in the first place but I honestly don't remember exactly in what way he was involved.

0:30 “this is almost as good as the time a polar bear saved my life”

Fun fact one of the songs Alex wrote “piledriver waltz” lead to and was included in the next Arctic Monkeys album “suck it and see” which follows off similar themes and vibe as the movie

I'm a huge Arctic Monkeys fan and it was basically a rite of passage into "advanced fan" to watch this movie, but as a result I just glossed over the movie while watching it with friends as a teen. Mark makes a compelling case by contrasting it with freaking Wimpy Kid lmao. I'd be sure to give it a proper watch now as an adult.

This sounds like a better film than the one where a kid goes viral with a silly impact font meme and the family adopts a pig and it ends with a boat crashing into a swimming pool

I appreciate the fraction of Stuck On The Puzzle and Piledriver Waltz you played. Excellent taste, Mark

i love seeing submarine get talked about, such an underrated and beautiful film

I love Submarine and I was so curious to see WTF it had to do with DOAWK. Amazing

Damn, i gotta check out this film, its kinda like the message of Kendrick Lemar's album To Pimp A Butterfly thats about staying true to yourself and learning how to fully mature, especially during sad situations. Really good review

What crazy timing! I literally just watched Submarine for the first time last week!

I liked you talking about a more serious film. It shows you growing as a content creator and not just being the adult cartoon guy which kind of correlates to what you were saying about being more experimental with your franchises

Saw it in the One theater that was playing it years ago, enjoyed it. Thanks for reminding me of it.

When I try to remember what happened in Catcher in the Rye, all I can remember from it is the main character being bitched by a pimp in his hotel room. With only that to go off, I can see how he could be Greg.

I’ve been listening to the song “stuck on a puzzle” from this movie with the poster of the film being the exact same as the music photo and never knew it was a movie

This is absolutely amazing keep up the great work can’t wait to see more 🔥!

i’m a huge arctic monkeys fan so i watched this movie and absolutely fell in love. thank you alex turner for literally one of the best soundtracks ever

Your reviews are very impressive. Bravo.

i had no idea what this movie was and so when i was scrolling i genuinely thought the thumbnail was anne frank which makes the title too fuccing good

I didn’t know one of my favorite songs had a movie

Thank you for reminding me why I love submarine so much!
