I love your eyes, my darling friend,
Their play, so passionate and brightening,
When a sudden stare up you send,
And like heaven-blown lightning,
It’d take in all from end to end.
But there’s more that I admire:
Your eyes when they’re downcast,
In bursts of love-inspired fire,
And through the eyelash goes fast
A somber, dull call of desire…

That transition from Luke to Landscape in the mist is STUNNING, I can't
Thank you for noticing / appreciating that!!
Can't what?

The Fall - Se7en - The Dark Knight - 2001 - Blade Runner sequence is magnificent. Every transition is masterful and the music hits all the right spots.
Thank you so much!
song on that part?
The Fall.. thats the one narrated by a little kid right? i hated that.. ashame cos the colours of the film were nice.
It’s so refreshing to finally see a list like this that isn’t afraid of foreign cinema.
bro you can not say foreign if u don't even say from where you're coming from ... I guess ur from the us
It’s cinema. Just cinema.
@@cyrils7957 there’s numerous countries represented here so regardless the comment stands
if you mean foreign = asian
his comment is in english ... so foreign means non english speaking cinema . are you so worried about catching someone out that you lost all common sense ? @@cyrils7957
To be honest, I haven’t watched most of these and am just now getting into film, but this is gorgeous and is inspiring me to watch them. Seriously so well done 💜
Thank you so much
same idk why but i love film so much

Most unemployed guy i've ever met
Love how there wasn’t some sort of grand build-up or reveal. Each shot and transition carefully crafted to do justice to all these films. Such a humble yet powerful ending as well. The way you draw out their beauty and your love for the cinematic form is truly inspiring!! ❤️
Thank you so much!!!
I can see the passion and the effort that you put in your video and in general in the list, while simultaneously focusing on movies from 21st century. I can understand that it is a more "personal" list than for example "the 100 best movies of all times" and I really admire it, although most of the movies that you used would not ever in my list. But, you have directors like Angelopoulos, Miyazaki, Kubrick who are my most beloved ones, so thanks again for this video!
What a beautiful way to do a Top 100 list! Thank you for taking the time to make this and share it with us 🙏🏻 I’d love to do one of these myself one day
That would be awesome :)
Now I have to watch all of these. The love and care you put into this is amazing. You got yourself a new subscriber
Thank you!!
Thanks for an incredible journey and a great edit here. Excellent work and thank you so much for sharing your opinions, your true self, and all of the recommendations along the way. I look forward to your future as a filmmaker and will stay tuned to The Dance Of Cinema as long as it shall live! Thank you!
This made my day. Thank you Nathan! Long live TDOC!
This is a beautifully done edit and transition. I loved the various parts where he transitioned from one movie to another. This is truly a collection of some underappreciated, aesthetically pleasing and thought provoking movies and some of them being famous because how great they are. Amazing work Bruce!
A stellar list, brilliantly presented. It makes it so clear that cinema, when passionately made, makes us see and think so much further than the surface of a form.
Amazing edit!!! I love watching this list unfold. I looked forward to every entry. Can't wait to see what's to come for the page!
Thanks so much Diego
The whole video is utterly stunning, but that transition from Luke to Landscape is something else 🔥
Thank you!!!
With your edit, all melt into one movie and I think it is. There is but one movie, in deed, long enough to embrace our lives. Well done. Beautifully done.
This is so beautifully made, and has definitely given me a few films to add to my watch list. And I was so happy to see Maborosi at number 1, I've never met anyone else who loves that film as much as I do. It might be my number 1 too, although Stalker and Kiki's Delivery Service are pretty close.
Honestly, I’ve never heard of Maborosi or Kore-eda before seeing this video, but I decided to give it a try. And yeah. It was the most impactful thing I’ve ever watched. Just in the first 5 to 10 minutes I could already tell that this will be so unlike anything else I’ve seen before, and how much I’ll love it. It’s just this way of presenting the story, the wide angle shots from far away, amazingly slow pace, lack of dialogue, it’s all just so masterfully done.
I come from Instagram and I do not regret it at all, the edition of this is magnificent, it shows how much you love cinema, you earned a like. ❤️✨
Welcome from Instagram :)
I haven't seen many of these but burning is one of my favourite films ever, glad you included it on your list. I'll definitely be coming back to this to check some of these out.
Thank you for the list. I had seen many videos with favourite 50 movies but I had usually seen 45-48 movies out of them. This list had around 25-30 movies that I never even heard of which looks truly great.
Great list! half of the movies in this video I've already seen, thanks for sharing!
What (another) great way of sharing your Top 100 Films 🤩. The edits and transitions are incredible. It is exciting to watch your list unfold and even though its order is known (from instagram) the "moving images" do their magic and are enthralling. ...and it makes you (me) want to (re)watch quite a number of Films. So thanks 🙏 and keep on dancing 💃
Thank you for the wonderful comment!
the transitions are insanely good omg
"Life is not a competition". With that in mind I must say: this is the best movie list I have ever seen so far. Beautifully done, a masterful edition and don't even get me started on the score.
Absolutely mesmerizing montage! I enjoyed every second of seeing this list unfold! Inspiring edits and wonderfully curated!
I'm so glad you included A Ghost Story. I feel like not enough people have watched this film and they should!
Me too, i'm really happy to know that someone else loved it, i'll never forget that movie
Possibly the worst movie I've ever seen
@@yanquiufo7113Because it's an art film. Not a normal storyline film just like The Lighthouse
@@yanquiufo7113its arthouse movie
Great editing Bruce. Loved every transition
Thank you!!
Thanks for making this. Brought back a whole lot of memories when i watched these films and how they moved me.
I love the title "100 Films That Changed My Life" instead of the regular boring top 20. Your list allowed us to peek into your soul. Having both Interstellar and Arrival on your list tells me we have something in common. Interstellar's docking scene was so damn gooooood!
@@AndreasIreland - Well, not sure what you are into. I can offer up a few from a few that are not mainstream. These three films are from my favorite filmmakers: Another Earth (sci-fi), The East (drama), and I Origins (kind of sci-fi, romance, drama). Mike Cahill, Brit Marling, and Zal Batmanglij all met at Georgetown and collaborated on several projects after graduation. The series The OA is another from them.
Bruce putting out the best stuff in all platforms...you love to see it. This edit must've been hard work and it really paid off. The vid is as nice as the list. The transition between Empire and Landscape in the Mist tho!
THANK YOUUU!!
@@BruceTetsuya keep em coming king
Great list of movies . Apart from a lot of these movies that affected me , “Ship of theseus” also had a huge impact on me .
I love the intimate detail and thoughtfulness of this list. Beautiful and thank you for sharing.
Incredible list! Always nice to see other people showing some love for Theo Angelopoulos movies!
Thank you!! Yes! He's one of my 10 favorite filmmakers of all time.
I was so surprise you include films like Blue Valentine of Pride and Prejudice. They are so good!! I saw Burning last night, WHAT A MOVIE !
A fantastic list, and ofc because i see my favourites in there, but also becuz ur not afraid of including the obvious right alongside more obscure, as well as foreign movies, just a very diverse but also very relatable list. I mean its not hard at all to see why these changed your life, no words needed, just an excellently edited video.
Thank you so much for this video! When i doubt what film to watch, i'll definitely choose one from these!
Wow, what a journey. Never heard of this person but what talent really. I can tell how deeply he feels about composition and storytelling just by looking at this. It made me feel so many things that are just waiting to be told in the background by looking openly at the photography and nuance. This is an amazing video
Great montage. Tree of Life is a life-changing film. Glad to see it was #3. Malick's A Hidden Life and The New World should get some honorable mentions, too.
Saw both on the big screen - A Hidden Life at Telluride Film Fest. Absolutely rapturous and beautiful.
The editing and transitions of this video changed my life, well done! The movie that changed me the most was the lord of the rings trilogy
I haven't watched most of these films, but i want to see this films. I watched 3/4 of these films and each of them masterpieces. Great edit bro🔥

You literally missed the 2nd one
Can someone make this properly with timestamps thx
@@herculeanhard I have done so. Check it out.
@@herculeanhard can you do it ?
When?
Well, I've occasionally thought of myself as a bit of a student of film. After seeing your display of films, I can now place myself as maybe having taken Film 101 and registering for Film 102. I'm impressed that I can list having seen more of "your" films than I can count on my fingers, but not many more. Kudos to the greatest of all action/drama films, Kurosawa's "Seven Samurai" at #2.
I hope you find many more films to appreciate from this list! Thanks for watching.
Great video 👍 and loved every transition it was great experience. And thanks for the recommendations definitely going to watch all the movies on this list.
Thank you so much :)
This is really an impressive list! From every frame it breathes the love for movies. Makes me want to watch again many or set it on my to watch for the first time list immediately.
I’m embarrassed to say that I have seen less than half of these films, but I shall make it my mission to search out and find as many as I can. Thank you for this wonderful list.
You are the one who changed your life. These movies were just motivation.
What a diverse and beautiful selection of films :). I come back to this list all the time for recommendations. I just recently watched Portrait de la jeune fille en feu - I can confidently say this has gone in my top ten films of all time.
WOW I was mesmerized the whole time. I didn't know many movies from your list but I sure will watch some
can’t believe this lasts 20 minutes, it’s so engaging
I was losing my shit when you placed the force awakens at 21 then , i saw the top 15. You are goated for placing interstellar at 14 , most of the cinephile community hates it but we goddamn love it No country for old men is a masterpiece Children of men another classic. Tree of life is simply the most beautiful movie i have ever seen. True visual poetry.havent seen the japanese/asian films , because i have a lot of catching up to do.
Fantastic list, fantastic dramatic presentation. A+ video all the way around
Yessss! Glad you included some Hirokazu Koreeda. He is an absolute master! Just missing “Love Exposure” haha
What an inspiring list! I would recommend “Naked Island(裸の島)” by Kaneto Shindo, if you haven’t watched yet!
I’ve seen a lot of incredible movies and still haven’t grazed the surface. Half of the movies on this list are on my watchlist. Terrence Malick and Andrei Tarkovsky I’ve yet to touch and I can’t wait.
I was surprised when he mention THE FALL in his list... Love terrence mallick very underrated
You did a wonderful job making this video. I've seen more then a 1/4 of them
I really appreciate your hardwork and I bow to your passion to create this beautiful video I love it ....thanks a lot❤
I hope you include this movies in your next list. - Into the wild - Old boy - Memories of Murders - Whiplash - American Beauty - Nocturnal Animals - Enemy - The Machinist - Requiem for a dream - High Tension - Dollars Buyer club - Brothers - Good will Hunting
into the wild is really an incredible movie
Dead poets society is another good one
Nocturnal animals blows
you have a good taste in movies suggest more
The editing and sound mixing in this video is amazing great work
Force Awakens? At 21. Oh God. I recall not seeing any of Scorsese’ filmography apart from Silence which is probably my least favourite that I’ve seen from him. It was refreshing to see a good amount of foreign film in there, especially Kuroasawa. There also seemed like a good portion of your choices were relationship based.
Exactly this, good list except for the Force Awakens being so high. Makes no sense as it’s objectively a garbage movie like all of the sequels. I like the Kurosawa and Tarkovsky love though
What I love about this list is that every movie passionate can acknowledge the quality of the selection and also think about other films that are not in the list!
Amazing edit! And wonderful list!! Several movies of that list made to my watchlist 🖤🔝
So happy to hear that! Let me know what you think.
This list needs: Naked Blue is the Warmest Color Apocalypse Now Anything by Harmony Korine American Honey Eternal Sunshine Upstream Color Good Will Hunting Wendy and Lucy Alien(s) The Lobster The Master Princess Mononoke Manchester by the Sea Leon The Professional Under the Skin Beginners Whiplash The Matrix Last life in the Universe Noi the Albino Stroszek The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser Head-On City of God Amadeus Just off the top of my head. Great list though. I agree with most of it and would say I haven’t seen about 1/4th of these. Good mix of well known and more obscure films.
Tetsuya-san, would you be kind enough to share the BGM list that you used for tbis video? All these music are epic!
Ok maybe I am too greedy. All I ask for is the song name of the first 6 minutes. Please...

@@siick6to237 thank you very much!
Thank you. Really moving. Also, I need to watch a lot of these.
For a top film list, this is well edited, well done
It is now my persoanal goal to watch every movie on this list, wonderful edit as well.
Thank you Shane! Means a lot - I hope you get to see them all!
movies i'd recommend you: like father, like son (soshite chichi ni naru) the eternal zero (eien no zero) barefoot gen (hadashi no gen) step (suteppu) whiplash requiem for a dream
Seen them all except for The Eternal Zero! I'll check it out.

Thank you for this, this was an amazing watch and has really inspired me to get back into watching movies
What about Fight club, Abyss, Beach, Trainspotting, Alien, Silent hill, Room 1408, True lies?
A clarification on why/how these movies changed your life would be nice! I love many of these movies, but wouldn't say they impacted my life really. Just curious! :)
I rhink that was what these videos mean. 100 favourite movies. It just makes for a much better title to write " Chnaged my life" bcoz ppl are looking for change their lives and they click.
i’ve only seen a couple of the movies in this video but they for sure changed my life. I carry the experience of seeing them with me every day. Of course not always in my mind, but always with me somehow. That qualifies as changing a life, doesn’t it? also the title is “100 movies that changed MY life”, not “100 movies that will change YOUR life”. Everyone experiences movies differently with different perspectives so a movie can be life changing for one person and not for another, but i think that’s pretty amazing
the first 20 movies make sens then its a bit random
great video! Really looking forward to watching these movies 👍
Superb list. I kept waiting for Wings Of Desire and a few others as we seem to have similar tastes but never mind, you did a beautiful job putting that together. Thank you.
My daughter has started a relationship with someone who has never watched a movie. This concerns me. The depth, compassion, passion, and meaning in your life as presented here, has to be missing in someone who is not enthralled with film.
I'm so sorry to feel your concern, my sons would find this quite shocking
How tf did the force awekens change your life xD
Great compilation of pictures and sound. Appreciate to include foreign language movies, it has made my “to do watch list” longer. I feel I have learned something here. Thank you.
bro you amde a masterpiece il maek sure o watch all the ones i didnt see in this list u choose an amazing music and no dialogue nad soem of the best scenese from thsoe movies this is epicccccccccccccc
Interesting that’s for sure…I’ve watched 60% of your list including of your Kurosawa selections. I’d be fascinated how this list changes in 10yrs…no “Citizen Kane” or Lawrence of arabia, Hitchcock or spaghetti westerns, true American western by director John Ford. Criminal underground movies like The Godfather, or even “the killer” by John Woo, one of my favorite Chow yun-fat movies…there are a lot of movies out there to see and experience
I mean it's impossible to make an exhaustive list, but for sure there's a lot of movies missing. When I saw The force awakens at the 20 rank, I knew it was a list that can't be reliable.
@@Mathis_Benj well, the person say “movies that changed his life “ so I’m assuming the person is young…still it’s an interesting list and would like to see it compared to 10yrs from now.
@@garyb2392 - Okay, Boomer.
@@Physics_Dude not exactly sure what you mean by this response…I mean why bother but what I don’t expect much from random people…I know it can be difficult to put more than two words together…English is like that…I stand behind my comment…there are a lot of (great) movies to watch and if this dude watches more…I genuinely wonder how and if this list will change.
@@garyb2392 - You said, "So I’m assuming the person is young." You sound like a geriatric with his stick up his ass. "OK, Boomer" is a pejorative aimed at people stuck in the past thinking their world was better. So listen up, Boomer: most of the best films came out in the 2000s. The older films were misogynist, had racist tropes, had primarily white men in all production decisions, and did NOT reflect the art of humanity. Is that better, gramps? You asked for "More than two words together." So there you go! What a great slaying of the paper dragon (you). [before you cry, remember that you started the agism by saying "I'm assuming the person is young." So you just earned that slaying. Better be more thoughtful next time!] This public service announcement is brought to you by Good Will Hunting. He's bringing his kill home.
can we please apreciate Maborosi?
Always.
Thank you for sharing this with me!!
Thanks Bruce. As we have many many coincidences, I will take a look on the few I don’t know them (yet). Great taste also for music 🎏
Does anyone know the names of these songs???
Yup it's Wonder by Tristan Barton, 2 months later wish could be here sooner lol
The Garden of Love by Shahead Mostafafar is the song from the 9 minute
Where's Lynch and Coppola?
Yep every damn underworld flick inspired by Coppola masterpiece, that theme music feels like another level ♥️
One of the most creative movie lists I've ever seen
just made my new watchlist W video and stunning editing
Good list but mostly English cinema....as Indian mine will be completely filled with Indian movies so can't blame you ....
5 films that genuinely changed my life: A River Runs Through It Dunkirk Dazed and Confused Beautiful Boy Empire Records
This is stunning. Thank you for this.
Honestly just can't stop rewatching this one. It's really beautiful and makes me wanna watch more movies
This guy’s easily impressed.
Of course the movies that changed your life most are Japanese movies, being a Japanese yourself.
Japanese movies have always been good along with french movies so what is your point
@@nathanakpe4897 I disagree Japanese movies haven't always been good, especially not Japanese movies of the last 20 years. A big complaint about Japanese live action movies but especially Japanese live action TV shows is that they're too melodramatic or feature overacting that can lean towards cringe. That's why a lot of Asians and Westerners that like Asian media prefer Korean live action movies & TV show, their acting is more natural, closer to Americans and Europeans.
Wow, this is a Masterpiece! loved the whole instrumental soundtrack effecting the narrative, wish there was a way we could check the soundtrack
This video is very inspiring and touching. Is like watching someone`s life and memories passing through our eyes in all the senses that this will imply. Amazing, just wanted to know the names and the songs you use for this video. THANK YOU.
Spirited Away is overrated.
Very good list, I add also Mr Nobody!! What a movie!!! It changed my life
Great list, thank you!
Probably watched about 75% of the movies on your luminous list. Need to fill that Kore-eda 'hole' though. Only watched 'Shoplifters' and loved it. Beautiful stuff. Thanks!
wouldn't change any of it in or out of order - perfect list - thanks
