Amusing idea for a video! I remember when I was in high school, I re-connected with a childhood friend, and we went to see Gangs of New York. She was understandably mortified by the amount of violence. I still cringe from my poor judgement all these years later.

Congratulations on the subs Jerry! I remember when I first started watching your channel. I think you had four hundred some subscribers and teena and I were the few commenters. At the time I thought, wow this channel is so good, I wonder why so few subscribers. I'm so glad your getting the recognition you deserve. I have several movies I picked up because of your channel. For me, your batting a thousand in the recommendations category. I recently watched Little Shop Of Horrors and Loved it. I already had it, I just fast tracked it to watch after your review. Anyway Thanks for all your Great content.

Great episode, KC. I had phenomenal success year after year sharing 'Do the Right Thing' with my students (who even surprised me on my birthday with a brand new pair of Nike Radio Raheem high tops (Bill Nunn had recently passed away.)) Their take on the garbage-can-through-the-window scene? Mookie saved Sal and his sons from the angry mob by diverting their attention. Something to share with your cousin! As for the other member of your family that you mention, your sister and I had the same reaction to Blue Velvet - please let her know that not all English teachers are depraved ; )

A number of years back, I was reading a book at a pub's outdoor patio when some elderly ladies at a nearby table started chatting with me about books. This led to a discussion about stories that have been successfully captured on film and I mentioned that one of my favorite film adaptations was A Clockwork Orange. Oops. That was apparently a triggering moment. One of the ladies described how a guy she was once dating took her to see that film and she was horrified by it. I would add that if you want to see something that might make you cringe, you should track down the Mad Magazine parody of A Clockwork Orange (A Crockwork Lemon). There's at least one joke in the spoof that wouldn't sit too well with many of today's readers. 😁

Hey Jerry kudos for this video, you introduced a unique topic for discussion I've never seen before anywhere. I relate totally. One of my favorite films is Criterion release The Piano Teacher, but that is one film where I have to be extremely careful with whom I recommend to; anyone who has seen this uncut title knows all too well where I'm coming from, even I was startled with a particular sequence that's not easy watching; actually more than one scene or sequence. You held up Blue Velvet disc and that happens to be latest Criterion I watched just last weekend, love it, along with Clockwork Orange and Eyes Wide Shut. Apparently we have similar tastes.

Very good episode! I made this mistake, but usually with women. One a girlfriend who hated Serpico. When she watched it. Another is a female friend who is now a grammar school principal.. geez I am 44 and she’s much younger than I, and she’s a principal. Anyway I recommended buffalo 66 to her. She watched it and was appalled. I mean there was anger in her, I guess the film is a little mashoanstic , but Vincent gallo finds his way in the end. I soon realized to not give suggestions to women, but I soon realized that true movie lovers ( male or female)appreciate what these movies offer. Though I usually get in trouble with the ladies. One thing that annoys me is how people judge a film because they a prudent. It’s ok people, it’s life.. even sex. I’m a librarian and I pick a movie to show, and some people walk out saying “ how can a library show this.” My perspective is to relax and open your mind. But people can be prudent, watch the film, then come to complain to me after it’s done. Unless it’s a recent Oscar nominated film, I’ll hear the complaints but won’t be shamed so much for some reason.

The two closest incidents of this nature for me both involved my parents. The first was in 1986, when a local film society presented Pier Paolo Pasolini's infamous last film 'Salò o le 120 giornate di Sodoma' (1975) as a midnight screening (this was the film's local premiere), and I was interested in going to see it, having only read about it up to that point. I invited my father (whose favorite film, incidentally, is 'Citizen Kane') and a male first cousin of mine to accompany me, advising them that this adaptation of a work by the Marquis de Sade was notorious for its disturbing content, but they both agreed to go. My father was visibly discomfited throughout the screening, wincing at the unabashed depravity of the Fascist dignitaries dominating the story, and during a scene of (simulated) coprophagy turned in his seat and glared at me. We all made it through the screening, and the next day I commented to my cousin that, despite the film's horrific content, I found it an artistic masterpiece (I still regard it as one of the key works in cinematic history). Ever since, he absolutely rejected any movie recommendation I offered, believing I had deplorable taste. The second occurred in the first decade of the present century, after I had been gifted a VHS copy of 'Thundercrack!' (1975), a deliberately provocative parody of old horror movies, directed by Curt McDowell and scripted by George Kuchar (both San Francisco artists). Hearing me describe the film's unusual qualities and the superb central performance by the late Marion Eaton (one of the great, though largely unrecognized, screen performances), my mother expressed curiosity in watching it, and I agreed to show it to her, making it clear that the film was replete with explicit content. After about ten minutes in, my mother asked me to turn off the tape, seeming regretful that she had ever started to watch it. Ironically, my father, many years later, voluntarily went by himself to see a digital screening of 'Thundercrack!', stayed through it and seemed to enjoy it reasonably well, though he didn't seem to see the artistic value in the film that I recognize.

I've thought of some good-bad recommendation moments! (spoiler alert): 1. The Shawshank Redemption had just come out and nobody knew what it was about in our social circle. I asked my brother if he wanted to see it. He said, but what if it's about something I don't like? I asked what he didn't like. He said, well, stuff like... prison. I said, how can it be about prison?! The poster is of a man in the rain with his arms outstretched towards the sky. So, he agreed to see it and in the first moments of the film, the lead character is sentenced to prison!!!!! I could feel my brother's eyes burning into my head. I nervously looked around and made a cringe face at him. Oops! 2. A bad recommendation from my father: In the summer holidays when we were kids, another family would stay with us. Often to shut us up in the evening, our parents would rent sci-fi, action or fantasy movies. My dad rented 'Excalibur' (1981). I was about eight or nine at the time and the eldest of the kids. In one of the scenes, a woman is raped. Do you remember that awful feeling when a sex scene was on TV and your parents were in the room? This felt much worse. We all froze and I could tell, everybody wanted to get up and turn the TV off, but everybody was so weirded out, nobody could speak or move! Eventually my dad got up and turned it off. 3. I had an internet penpal and we decided to watch movies together online. I had a bunch of recommendations, but didn't know what any of them were. She asked me to choose a movie, so randomly, I went for 'Belle du Jour' (1967)! In one of the opening scenes, Catherine Deneuve is tied up against a tree and whipped, then becomes a prostitute! Not easy chatting and watching that with a stranger. 4. A friend of mine took his girlfriend to the cinema. He liked gritty British films and not knowing what it was about, chose 'Nil by Mouth' (1997). His girlfriend was a very nice person and definitely couldn't handle films like this. I forget where it occurs, but I think there's a scene where Ray Winstone's character is stamping on his pregnant's wife's head, shouting the C word with every stamp, over and over and over. My friend was in the dog house for a while after that!

I think everyone has recommended a film and had judgment calls on our choice. I have recommended Citizen Kane but I can well imagine that many really don't enjoy the film (I love it though). There are zillions of films that are 'the greatest' and if the person is not in the mood to watch it, will hate the film. Blue Velvet .. another great film but certainly not for everyone. Love Clockwork Orange for a first date ... wow, really odd choice but clearly worked out !! My suggestions are generally terrible, I don't think anyone should follow any of my choices in films as I have been through all kinds of things over the years from Korean films, Czech films, film noirs, Italian movies, films of the 30s, silents, etc. I love them but I imagine that they are not for everyone (prefer Touch Of Evil or Chimes At Midnight to Citizen Kane though)

It got a lot of media attention on first release, but didn't fare terribly well at the box office, and got a mixed critical reception. I'm not sure if it was an outright financial flop though.
