Why Pirates of the Caribbean is the Most UNDERRATED Trilogy (Video Essay) 

Man this trilogy was amazing, it’s a shame they never made a 4th or a 5th

I will defend this trilogy with my life, and I like 2&3 even more than the first one

I am a firm believer that we will never get an adventure like this again, not especially with current hollywood and disney

This triology felt like the last hurrah before Hollywood embraced lazy CGI and formulaic blockbusters.

This triology is amazing. Just watched at worlds end again. The constant backstabbing and plot twists is so good, but by the end, even though every character betrays every other character at some point, they all end up aligning in the end. Its just super pleasing to watch.

Honestly this trilogy ranks up there with Indiana Jones and Back To The Future in terms of being a straight up gift to humanity. The layers of meaning, the character arcs, the overlapping themes, the music, cinematography.... chef's kiss all night long. I think a lot of people have trouble with 2 and 3 because it gets pretty deep into dialogue/story and the writer's deep investment in the characters. When they released I was hardcore into the fandom so for me they were a joyride and still are.

I think one thing you missed: Jack Sparrow is the main character, but it’s Elizabeth’s story. You hinted at it with her character arc, but it is her story that comes full circle. It’s a great thing about the trilogy and shows where you can have a protagonist be the main character but another to serve as the viewers’/readers’ point of reference

I really don't get why the sequels got such a harsh/lukewarm reception from a critical perspective. The characters were advanced, the effects were fantastic, the story was gripping and had high stakes, and the music was amazing. What more could you want?

Will and Elizabeth having their final goodbye at worlds end. REALLY MAKES ME CRY! 😭💙💙🖤

i just watched the first 3, boy I'll tell ya.. one of the best movie trilogies of ALL TIME

When I was a child, I remember being incredibly confused about the fact that they were making more movies after the 3rd one. The 3rd movie had such a solid and bittersweet ending. The newer movies just undermine everything that happens in the 3rd one.

the kraken is actually half practical, which really makes you feel the impact. all the destruction is also 100% practical, and if I remember correctly, the kraken mouth is half practical, but they cgi over it because it actually looked unrealistic ironically enough

I dont understand why is so hard for the world to see the magnificence of this trilogy. This is my infance movie saga, such as Star Wars, Jurassic Park or Harry Potter were for other people. And indeed is so underrated.

I used to dislike At Worlds end, but it is now one of my most favourite movies of all time.

Will and Elizabeth had such chemistry. That final scene on the beach has more soul in it than 99.9% of all romances ever shot on camera.

As someone who has been a champion of these movies for quite literally near my entire life, it is so rewarding and validating after all these years to FINALLY see Dead Man's Chest and At World's End get the recognition they deserve as truly great sequels in a wholly satisfying trilogy. Great video!

After Johnny won the trial, a local cinema did a POTC screening for a week. During the scene where Jack arrives with his ship with the help of the crabs, everyone was cheering.😂

Even if people didn't like the 2 and 3rd, you can't deny how good the music is between all the films

I knew the moment Davy jones was introduced, no villain they introduced after him would be better than him.

Jack being in the exact same spot in the end adds a touch of believability to the movies in my opinion. we often see character arcs in fantasy movies where the heroes become kings, emperors, generals, great magicians who save the world, and get through such big changes, while Jack no matter the great story and adventures it's back at square one, as if he could have had countless adventures before the curse of the black pearl ending up where it was anyway.

Something else to mention about this is that we had not one, but two fantastic villains by the 3rd movie. Lord Beckett was incredibly intimidating, not because he looked deformed or was explicitly violent like Davy Jones, but because of how far he was willing to go to uphold the good name of the trading company, justifying every bad action he ever took in the name of "good business". His death scene is and always will be one of the most glorious pieces of cinematography to have ever been created.

I cannot get over how amazing the CGI in this film is. It's something I never appreciated enough as a kid, but it's stunningly good, especially on Davy Jones. For a film so old now, with modern titles not even holding a candle to it, it really makes you think what the fck went wrong

I think Dead Man's Chest is frustratingly close to being among the best movie sequels, but is pulled down by the cannibal island sequence which is not only unimportant to the plot but also contains the movie's most cartoonish moments. I think the rest of the film is fantastic though. At World's End is more uneven, but there's so much to love about it as well.

I've always loved these three films, they hold up so well now too. I see new things every time I watch one of them too.

Well, you sold me. This trilogy is truly EPIC! I’m still not as big of a fan of Dead Man’s Chest and At World’s End, but you’ve convinced me that it’s a near-perfect swashbuckling adventure!

The 3rd one is so overhated and has the best finale action set piece of the trilogy

12:00 the purgatory stuff really has the ability to stick because of its uniqueness. From the first time I saw it the year of release, until today it’s always been one of the first things I think about when discussing POtC

Davy Jones CGI is still one of the best to this date.

I rewatch the trilogy each year its SO GOOD the villains are insanely well written and well acted the plot and the effects are beautiful the world is massive

This trilogy, the 6 Star wars films that were made, and the 3 films peter Jackson made about Tolkien's books are some of my favorite movies of all time

Great video! I love POTC so much thanks for making this. Someone may have already mentioned but just wanted to bring up that Hans Zimmer didn’t join POTC until Dead Man’s Chest. Curse of the Black Pearl and Jack’s theme we’re composed by Klaus Badelt👍

Idc what anyone says, dead mans chest is one of the best movies of all time

The original trilogy were perfectly sound and fit together like a jigsaw puzzle and with every rewatching each year gives a sweet taste of fruity nectar like finely aged wine

Just watched the trilogy and is definitely one of the best of all time. Curse of back pearl is a masterpiece while the others are brilliant sequels that delve deeper into the lore and characters. Thanks for the video, really enjoyed watching 👍

No one can change my mind, At Worlds End is perfection. The visuals, story, everything is amazing. Not to mention the score 1000/10, thank you Hans

This comment is for every viewer!!! (Part 1) For anybody who is always praising the first movie to be the best. I have been studying 1-3 and I constantly re-watch them. Pirates of the Caribbean does not go downhill in writing after the first movie. That is your business to believe that opinion everyone else goes with. Dead man’s chest gave the characters more depth! Elizabeth and William barely have anything to work with in the first movie. William’s relationship with his father that was hinted in the first movie of his father‘s existence. Paid off wonderfully. William’s character had way more in depth now and you have something to truly care about him for. You get both perspectives when you understand their Reunion! Bootstrap didn’t want Will to become a pirate like him, he wanted him to have a free life from the pirate life. William had a hard time accepting he was half Pirate but when he accepted his life and his father… He has a new journey to stab the heart of Davy Jones to set his father free. And you’re implying William is better in the first movie just because he wanted to save the girl he loved? William in the second movie now has Elizabeth as a lover. And now a new journey to rescue his father someone else he cares about. And this became a difficult situation when bootstrap told Elizabeth at world‘s end. William has to make a decision. Either don’t kill Davy Jones so he can be with you. Or he does kill Davy Jones and set me free, but he won’t be able to be on land for 10 years. If I were him I wouldn’t pick me! 😕 The emotional weight on William’s character gets better and better. Elizabeth in the first movie was just a damsel in distress girl. She wasn’t useless in the first movie but you get the point. In the second movie, Elizabeth learned to wield a sword and she used it in the battle. She pulled a gun to Beckett‘s head.. went on her own journey to save will. She has grown a lot since the first movie who was just an innocent girl! Elizabeth got better as a character in 2 and 3! As for Jack sparrow. He does not become a joke at all in all 3 movies. Jack sparrow is at his best in the second movie and in the third movie. There was a moment in dead men’s chest… Where Jack didn’t know what he truly wanted so the compass couldn’t locate what he desired. So when Elizabeth went on her journey and then found Jack.. Jack used her for his advantage! He took advantage of Elizabeth’s feelings by telling her if you want to save Will you have to want to find the chest of Davy Jones! In order to get will back.. That’s why Jack gave her the compass. Jack knew if he couldn’t figure what he wanted out he was going to get it out of Elizabeth. Since Elizabeth now wants to find the chest of Davy Jones to save will. This gives Jack the huge opportunity to find the chest to stab the heart in it. But instead he wants to control DavyJones before killing him. Jack sparrow is not stupid! When will was trying to stab the heart towards the end of the second movie. Jack knows just because Davy Jones is dead, does not mean the Kraken will be stopped as well. And you’re telling me Jack is dumb after part 1?? As for Beckett. He was a well executed villain who uses dialogue and negotiation to control people. The Reason why Beckett didn’t fire his cannons at worlds end. Was because it would be totally out of his character to use weapons. Beckett uses certain words to get through people and how to control them behind the scenes. Beckett at the end of the movie had nothing left to negotiate with. Davy Jones was dead, Jack sparrow is alive and well. Will Turner is now the new captain of the Flying Dutchman. Beckett had literally nothing to use against on people. He was caught in shocked and he decided to die.. Anyways I could defend the Gore Verbinski’s Trilogy all night. His trilogy is an underrated trilogy. It had great character writing and amazing detail of its depth. Also Will vs Davy Jones!!! 😈😈😈 when Will challenging Davy Jones. Davy Jones asks him how do you know about the key? Will replies and says, that's NOT part of the game is it? 😏 You can STILL walk away!! 😏 As for pirates 4/5 they are not even Canon they are filler movies. The story ended at worlds end! ☠️ (Part 2) Dead man’s chest has a very simple plot.. Jack sparrow is the master at controlling peoples hearts to get what he wants and out of a situation. He screwed over Will so Jack can save himself… But it worked in his favor for his reunion to meet his father.. William even told Jack you screwed me over but because of you I was reunited with my father after such a long time.. Elizabeth was caught in Jack’s illusion of trusting him to get Will back that had nothing to do with him which was a lie. Will being on Davy Jones ship had everything to do with Jack lol. Jack left on good terms with Elizabeth and William in the first movie. Elizabeth had every right to believe Jack…. It was Jack who took advantage of her feelings to find the chest by telling her if you want to find will you need to find the chest of Davy Jones! But it was an illusion so Jack can get closer to find the chest of Davy Jones to control him. But to also go back and save will after Jack got what he wanted. If people don’t understand these movies that’s their problem. But I understand every movie! That’s why I rank 2>3>1 ☠️☠️☠️ (Part 3) I’m sorry to break it to you but the curse of the Black Pearl is my least favorite in the trilogy. I rewatch the trilogy every few months. And to me I just don’t find it as deep or as interesting compared to dead man’s chest or at worlds end. Curse of the Black Pearl is still a well written amazing film. It’s just I’d rather choose having William struggle on trying to save his father from Davy Jones along side using very clever strategy and dialogue during the dice liar game on Davy Jones to get key from him.. VS William in the first movie who just wants to save Elizabeth…. I love darker storytelling and when steaks are becoming higher! Dead man’s chest gave me everything.. Elizabeth was a useful damsel in stress female lead in the first movie. But I would rather choose her character development in the second movie compared to her in the first movie. Elizabeth pulled a gun on Beckett’s face. She went on her own journey to save William. Who also taught her how to defend herself with swords. And that paid off well at the end of the movie! Her development is miles better in (Dead mens chest) compared to herself in the first movie who just takes the fall for William to protect him from Barbosa. Jack sparrow’s dialog and clever intelligence grew (MORE) in (dead men’s chest) and (at worlds end) and you cannot convince me otherwise. If people think he became a joke after the first movie that sounds like a (YOU PROBLEM) Jack sparrow is pretty intelligent in the second movie on being a master at manipulation and taking advantage of people around him to get himself out of a situation in order to save his life and possibly everyone else’s. He just knows how to play the game like that….. You can’t trust Jack sparrow on making the right decisions because he’s supposed to be ahead of the game on everyone’s perspective on him. If Jack was easy to follow with answers he wouldn’t be Jack sparrow lol. Not to mention what’s with this opinion on people saying Jack sparrow was someone you should not mess with?? Jack sparrow literally wants you to mess with him so he can use that to his advantage to pull you in under his string, for you to doubt him in order to rise up above everyone else. You were caught in his illusion the entire time so he can be superior at the end of the situation and screw you over. If Jack sparrow was someone to NOT mess with, just like Davy Jones.. Then you wouldn’t be caught in Jack sparrow’s illusion on being the worst pirate in the world.. No seriously if Jack had the same fear approach as Davy Jones…. Then all you would have to do were to look at Jack sparrow for a few seconds and be so scared of him, Everyone would just run away.. literally what’s the fun in that for Jack Sparrow?! If he was someone to not mess like people claim. Then (WHY) do people keep on assisting 100% on messing with Jack Sparrow?? Please answer that man lol. That literally makes no sense… You have to mess with Jack sparrow to be caught in his illusion of doubtfulness so he can be the superior person in the situation and also getting out of a dangerous situation. He literally pulls you in as a fool because people were messing with them. Like come on?! 😂

Just realised, theirs absolutely no reason for will and Elizabeth not to be together. He can only go on land once every ten years? Okay. Why doesn’t she, oh, I don’t know.. GET ON THE SHiP!!!

The first movie came out when I was 8. I can’t believe it’s still going on 20 years later.

When they started filming pirates 2&3 the script hadnt even been written. They worked with an incomplete script for so much of it and to still come out with such high quality sequals is a monumentous feat.

best films ever

Excellent video essay. Jack, especially, is full of comedy and chaos, and is totally watchable as a lovable character.

I didn't even realize the 2nd and 3rd movies were somewhat unpopular? I don't know, it seemed obvious to me that they were all amazing, I didn't think they would even need to be defended.

As a life long fan of the POTC trilogy I wanted to thank you for making this

I mean, if there ever was a Pirate that could sail a ship through a dessert, it would be Captain Jack Sparrow

One thing I really loved about these movies is that it blurs the lines between the "good guys" and the "bad guys". Each character is not motivated by "good" or "evil" but rather have their own motivations and goals. You can see this with each alliance that is formed. They agree to an alliance not to help each other out, but because the offer on the table will help each party involved achieve their own goal. The other way an alliance is formed is because someone has leverage over someone else. No one is really loyal to anyone else. Many characters change their alliances throughout the trilogy. Ironically the only loyal character(Gibbs) constantly gets screwed over. In the final battle it doesn't really feel like a "good vs evil" battle. It's a lot messier than that. It feels more like two nations have a conflict with each other. Both sides have a reason to take out the other. You are not really sure who is in the right, who is in the wrong, or if that really matters anymore. In a way that makes it feel like a real life conflict. This is my favorite movie trilogy. I own them on Blu-Ray and they all have uncompressed audio. Sounds incredible!

Alternative title: potc trilogy is incredibly successful, and loved by basicly EVERYONE, SO ABVIOUSLY IT IS NOT "UNDERRATED".

I believe the main reason why the trilogy gets no respect. Is because we are living in a world where everyone wants every movie to be a masterpiece and every moment has to shine every five seconds. And if there is just ONE SCENE that feels like filler or drags. It’s automatically going to get an F? 😭 I just don’t understand what people want in movies anymore… you can still skip a couple scenes in a movie if you generally just do not care about them. Even if a scene has a purpose and it’s well executed.. if you honestly just don’t care about what is going on, you can skip it and STILL come out saying the movie is still a masterpiece! People believe movies have to deliver literally everything in every moment for it to be a great film. And that’s TOTAL BS LOL. Dead Mens Chest has a very dumb filler island scene with Jack and Will. Yet the movie is still a masterpiece of clever writing. But people claim this whole movie is bad just because of that island scene.. it’s like how picky can you be?? In the (DARK KNIGHT. I honestly dislike The final act for joker, trying to get those people on both of those boats to convince them to blow each other up. I rather have another Batman and joker dual… I just don’t like the boat scene because it’s just boring as hell for me XD. Yet the Dark Knight is still a masterpiece film. :p I highly suggest to watch this video!! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CWMCrDGEKDY.html

The Elizabeth & Will cameo at the end of film 4 or 5 or whatever IS HOW YOU DO A CAMEO! I wasn’t expecting it & it was Wonderful ❤❤❤

The 4th movie was an alright stand alone when you isolate it from the first three imo, but for the 5th one the only good thing that came out of it was that Will and Elizabeth got reunited (by questionable means). Even thought I love Davy Jones as a villain, idk how to feel about the possibility of him coming back, it just feels too unauthentic unfortunately

This trilogy is so underrated. Wish more people could see the original “making of” videos that came with the DVD’s. Specially with 2 & 3. Not sure if they are still available somewhere. The practical effects with full size ships and the actors trying to withstand all of it. It’s amazing to watch and it shows in the movies. These were expensive movies as well because of them and that’s probably why they still stand the test of time. Great video essay, I am obviously biased, but great movies!

Amazing video essay, always loved these movies. You definitely deserve more than 700 subscribers

This video was perfect! You really pointed out the important points which make these movies/this story so great!

5:02 beautiful job to whoever edited this

The performances from Johnny Depp, Geoffrey Rush, and Bill Nighy are especially worthy of praise. I think a lot of people underestimate how tough it is to give such wonky performances and how close they're actually getting to stepping over the line and completely destroying any sense of reality or seriousness WITHOUT actually crossing that line (in the initial trilogy, at the very least). If they had dialed it up just a little bit, I honestly believe the whole entire trilogy could just crumble before or eyes, but they maintained it at the perfect level. But it's not just them who have over-the-top roles, you obbiously have pretty much the whole crew if the Black Pearl, alongside people like Tia Dalma.

POTC has always been my favorite and i actually got to watch the second one in theaters when i was really young and the scene where Davy Jones was playing the organ and when Will tried to get the key scared the living daylights out of me but it made me want to watch them again as i got older and for at least 3 of my birthdays all i did was watch those movies. Sometimes ill watch the first one and as soon as it ends I restart it and ive watched all 3 at least 100 times in my life and I still get so excited watching them and this video gives me the same feels and I want to watch this video on repeat and send it to all my friends. Especially my best friend that hates POTC because of how often I watch it. Im definitely gonna share it with a few friends i know will enjoy it and ill definitely be back to watch this again and again ❤

The Pirates of the Caribbean theme is not from Hans Zimmer, but from Klaus Badelt. 😉

So glad I'm not alone in this opinion, the whole trilogy blows me away. Cinematography, score, humor, plot and characters are all top notch.

I got absolutely hooked on POTC when they came out. I remember couontless times rewatching all 3 on dvd when our cable would go out or when i was just bored. The DVD's provide some really great additional content and behind the scenes.

I’ve watched this trilogy over a hundred times. I remember watching dead man’s chest in theatres the day it came out. Always wanted to be like Will and go on these crazy adventures. The fourth movie was a huge blow; and I knew the road they were going was going to destroy my childhood. Star Wars, Halo, and this, people just don’t know when to end a good series

Thank you, I feel the same way. I’m glad you are trying to educate people on the greatness of PoTC

Dead man's chest is the best one imho. Introduction of Davy Jones: one of the best villains in cinematic history imo, Tia Dalma: I love her portrayal so much, such a fun character to witness, The Kraken: no explanation needed Beckett: underrated character Awesome music Awesome CGI that still holds up to this day The hilarious island scene with the wheel and Kebab Sparrow 😅 What more do we want?

I've never heard anyone say the Pirates of the Caribbean is underrated

Really enjoyed the video! Very well put together and honestly reminded just how much I loved the these movies! Earned a sub from me

I've always loved this trilogy and just showed it to my 10 year old son. He loved it too, got into de pirate vibe (he's a one piece fan as well). It's so amazing how a good movie can be part of our lives 😊

weagen

underrated? u kidding me? 😂

Just rewatched these too and I agree! The maelstrom fight is one of the most impactful scenes I have ever watched. I will never forget being a kid in that theater thinking “ … they’re not gonna fight in that… are they? … no… but they have to!… but it’s impossible… ” but they did! Amazing creativity and experiences I’ll never forget from being a kid. Some sexual innuendos I picked up on rewatch as an adult as well that went over my head when I was little. “Don’t you know Will taught me how to handle a sword?” Haha

That guy got hit in the head with a coconut! 😂

To this day the CGI is S tier and it introduced me as a teenager to relatively complex story telling giving it rewatch value. World’s end was slow I will admit to this day and even when I first saw it being a fan boy…. But that last hour was probably the best action scene I have ever seen in a film. When the Dutchman rises back up to Zimmer’s Davy Jones theme… I get goosebumps just typing about it. Also on the subject of Zimmer - he created the original score during a single night because he was so desperate to be involved with it but was contractually committed to The Last Samurai and so couldn’t be credited to it in the first movie, but was thereafter. To this day I think the best movie theme of all time and I recommend anyone to see it performed live by a full orchestra before they die. It made me cry out of sheer beauty.

We need more like u! Respecting 1-3 and give them the respect they deserve. That in 4 and 5 Jack isn't the same anymore like damn you're speaking out of my soul!😊

I’ve always said this and no one was onboard. Thanks for co-signing that for me

Even though the first movie is the only one I remember actually watching all the way through, the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise has always been a memorable part of my childhood.... How? Well, you see I played the Lego game. XD While you were describing the scene with the hallucinations world and the white crabs, I was just thinking "I remember that level. That was a cool level."

Youre video is so god damn good, Im am a fan of the trilogy and im 100% agree with you. Watched those 3 over bazillion times, and there is no video on youtube that can express my love for the movies as much as yours, drink up me hearties yo-ho!!!

The editing in this video is hilarious

I enjoyed 5 as my 1st movie. But watching the original trilogy after made it one of my favorite movie watching experiences ever

At world's end is one of my favourite movies of all time. I used to watch it at night under a pillow so my parents dont catch me. Hearing the score or seeing some of the scenes almost made me tear up from ffelings of nostalgia. Just not as bad as how to train your dragon. I actually cried once after listening to one of the pieces from that movie

I just love how we just ignore Stranger Tides and Dead men tell no tales since imo they were a VERY low point in the franchise and focus on the original best Adventure films ever created❤️. ( you could say DMTNT was a conclusion to the original heroes storys but it still dosent come close to the originals ) (and OST was just a different thing all together)

Great job!

The first 3 are so amazing it’s insane, I liked 4 even if everyone else didn’t, it’s the perfect trilogy, even tho I don’t really count the later ones lmao

I’m glad you didn’t mention the last two movies lol

Thank you so much for reminding me just how top-notch this stuff really was. It seems so easy to forget how I grew up with this

One downside to the rise of streaming services is that when you bought DVD's you would get the cast and crew commentaries. This DVD had 3 commentary tracks all of them interesting, I wish I could turn them on in services like Netflix to listen to them.

Thank you for this Video! I love the triology ❤

3:10 Jack's intellect is beautifully shown in the 'up is down scene'. Lovely scene, when Jack's contemplating the consequences of stabbing the heart and working out how to come back from the locker. And then back to the usual Jack where he starts running like a maniac to rock the ship. This is followed by my favourite qoute of his when he's speaking to Hector next to the carrcas of the Kraken. Hector "The world used to be a bigger place".. Jack: "The world is still the same. There's just less in it".

At the end of the original 300 movie we learn that we were being told the story of the 300 from a survivor. It’s an interesting dynamic. I think “at worlds end” is suppose to be that. An over the top larger than life tale that has underlying truth being told by a silent narrator. I think Barbosa is the unnamed narrator.

the thing that amasses me every time lot of the essential seans needs vfx to work an it still stand head to head in 2024 as really quality vfx😮

I liked these movies when they first came out, and now that I own all of them on DVD I love them even more. There are so many things that I notice with each watching [that I missed when I saw them at the theater] that it's impossible not to enjoy them more and more all the time.

Great video 👍

I love the backstabbing that goes on, it kinda reminds me of anime sometimes with the back stories as well

i love how we act like the 4th and 5th never happened

it's a classic and a gem. i watch series every year. unforgettable characters and soundtrack. daily ship tours still using he's a pirate theme here lol. a classic.

Honestly Dead Man's Chest has been my favourite of the three. The story, characters and everything that goes on in it is so interesting to me and the cliffhanger makes it better.

I don’t understand why people would dislike 2 and 3, where every character is really well developed and everyone is chasing his own goal through the the two movies, and that leads to the final battle in AWE. And for the fact that the informations are thrown at your face at the beginning of AWE, it doesn’t feel forced when you just remember the end of DMC, when Norrington gives the heart to Beckett Plus 2 and 3 ´s music is just incredible, one of the best Zimmer’s OSTs

Unfortunately, like most trilogies, the first two are great, but the final film underwhelms or underdelivers or tries too hard. I think of The Dark Knight Rises for comparison, but there are plenty of examples. Dead Man's Chest is my favorite.

My favourite trilogy growing up that I always revisit. The adventure environment, the excitement to discover the lored, the fun journey!

One of the reason why Geoffrey Rush and Barbosa are some of my favourite things in movie history is because Barbosas accent and mannerisms is very similar to the real like pirate Francis Drake

Your opinion perfectly aligns with a theory I’ve been working out for myself. Until recently, whenever people asked what my favorite movies are, I totally drew a blank because I worried that I wasn’t remembering all of the greatest films ever made. But then I thought, maybe my favorite movies aren’t the most well-made movies. Maybe they’re the ones that stick with me the most, and that I would be happiest to watch again and again. That perspective TOTALLY changed my list of favorite movies. The movies I would list as my favorites now include Coraline, The Prince of Egypt, Aliens, Harry Potter, and the Pirates movies. Because to me NOW, it’s not about whether they’re the best movies ever made - I don’t think you could argue that any of my choices are _literally_ the best movies ever made. But they are extremely memorable and extremely re-watchable. And that makes them great to me.

8:30 made me laugh so hard 😂😂😂 fantastic editing

I’m disappointed this isn’t 6 hours long

Number 3 just makes my heart swell with emotions that the first two don't. so so good.
