I liked the comment of the viewer who had never heard a 51 minute song. (This person obviously was never coerced into singing along with "99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall" at summer camp).

I confess I have not yet heard this 51 minute video. Not all of it at least. After 14:22, realizing that I wa...

It is of course redundant to say your editing skills seem almost genetic. Indeed a few of your tribute shorts often work better than the originals. Ironically, when an artist slips and the moment is marred, we often THEN realize the seamlessness of their artistry elsewhere. I found a moment of aw...

What occurs to me is how the context of the times can determine not only box office results but the legacy a film. In trying to humanize the plight of young addicts to a less aware and less empathetic audience in 1971, the filmmakers may have underscored the stereotypes that a white middle class ...

Knowing this music from first hearing "Kismet" and thus associating the themes with Baghdad rather than Helsinki, it was disorienting and stunning to see the images to which you set the music. Rethinking "favorites" can be disillusioning when we see flaws or other imperfections that we missed at...

The changes Delores brings to the lives of the nuns is both the center and the heart of "Sister Act". Yet her own transformation--more subtle, but in many ways more profound, is the soul of the film. The strings that underscore the lyrics and Ms. Goldberg's expression at 1:00 is exactly the type ...

I agree wholeheartedly with the comments of those who find this a well edited and very well rounded portrait of Ms Bardot. It is so easy in these days of Cinema Classics from the Fifties and Sixties (sheesh!) to see how she became a caricature of something she never was. Even in her most jejeune ...

Pairing Petula Clark's unmistakable singing with Peter O'Toole's less famous crooning did, strangely, give the musical remake of "Goodbye Mr. Chips", it's core...its heart. They were a mismatched pair, the rigid school master and the free-spirited dance hall performer. They actually do not sing ...

"Charles" Chaplin directed, wrote, scored and acted in his last film, "The Countess From Hong Kong". It was a rather dispirited venture really...Marlon Brando & Sophia Loren didn't exactly ignite the screen. Chaplin had high hopes for the film and the soundtrack album was a sumptuous presentati...

The music is why I came....your beautifully rendered graphics are why I stayed. Thank you

It is the liability of filmed theater or cabaret pieces that the camera will not stay in its seat. Numbers directed and choreographed for a stationary audience become mutant musical creatures when the zoom lens plunges forward and upends whatever sense of staging originally existed. Fosse's "Cab...

I can't remember anywhere on YouTube THREE comments in a row by one boor. BUT, I didn't comment on this video. I think w2dot has great skill...not just at getting us quickly to the best bits in the Bond saga, but also in his presentation style. I DON'T MEAN THOSE TITLES of his. He is a gifted fi...

This film conflicts me. I love its openly proud use of sentimental music and scenes such as Dwight and Moira at the end. Yet, I also loved Pauline Kael who in "The New Yorker" explained loving bad films is okay but her views about "On The Beach" were savage. T.S. Eliot's line from "The Waste L...
