Criterion released HAXAN on DVD back in 2001. The DVD includes the 1922 release, the 1941 re-release, and the shorter version from 1968 called WITCHCRAFT THROUGH THE AGES.

How on earth did you miss The Day the Clown Cried? That should have been #1.

The RIFFTRAX episode of the Star Wars holiday special is FRIGGIN hilarious... but boy oh boy, is it still hard to get through even with mike Tom and bill riffing it

0:26 When Simon tries not to laugh, during a video, you know it's going to be hilarious - no matter the video, no matter what tone or inflection of his voice, no matter how exactly he forces himself not to laugh, you just know you're in for a good time 😹.

You should make a Top Tenz list "Things we should know about Simon Whistler." Or maybe that would be more appropriate on your "Today I Found Out" channel.

I rode the "Alien Encounter" ride - and that was legit terrifying.

So Lucas doesn't have a hammer?

The 102 movies made by silent film star Chubby Chadsworth (1867 -1979) exist only in my mind...

"They hired a director named Roger Corman and...", Really? Just gonna slide his name in there like it was any old director? If you are intentionally trying to make schlock, Corman is obviously the maestro and he deserves a mention as such.

I know it's bs, or at least 99% of it, but I still watch ancient aliens all the time. It's still interesting and perfect for falling asleep.

One movie that should be at the top of anyone's list is the band movie, Maladolensca, staring Eva Ionesco. It came out in 1977.

Memory is vague but there is a German film in the 30s where the actress supposedly actually had sex in the film, she then went on to become a very famous Hollywood actress. At the very least, she ran around naked in it. The studio or her husband supposedly bought up all copies of that film so it would never been known to the public. Was it Dietrich?

Looking for more information about the producer murderer thing and it’s not ANYWHERE

Conspiracy of Silence was actually known as The Franklin Scandal, based on the book of the same name.

At the end of number 9 one of the three people on the movie poster is named Attilla lol

10. "Alien Encounters From New Tomorrowland" (1995): So this is where Giorgio Tsoukalos got his "It's Aliens!" groove? 9. "Homecoming" (1939): Those dastardly Poles are attacking German-speaking people! 8. "The Star Wars Holiday Special" (1978): "Howard the Duck";) 7. "The Brave" (1997): kzread.info/dash/bejne/qZ6C086hgKnJZLw.html 6. "H'xan" (1922): Witchcraft got the Silent treatment. 5. "The Fantastic Four (1994): Not-so-fantastic for a reason? 4. "Nothing Lasts Forever" (1984): A Turner Classic Movies exclusive? 3. "Unlawful Killing" (2011): The Princess Diana "accident"? Who says all documentaries are dull? 2. "Return of the Ewok" (1982): The return of "Howard the Duck"? 1. "Conspiracy of Silence" (1994): Washington D.C. Pedophiles! Another "dull" documentary?

And isn’t it just such a coincidence that discovery channel, tlc, animal planet and indeed any educational network suddenly started churning out garbage shows which in most cases have nothing to do with the channels intended content. Plagued with reality shows we have alien “documentaries” on the history channel, hunting shows on animal planet (where the entire show is about crafting a tool for hunting), shows about people who have a lot of kids... and nothing else, etc. indeed one can scroll through the programming list and hardly find anything left that is actually educational. So is there a conspiracy to make the citizens of the United States as stupid as possible? Well, we have extremely low funding and pay for public schools and teachers while colleges are only available for those who can pay or live in debt. We have people joining groups like pyramid schemes by the truck load, those who push that the earth is flat and fight against vaccines, we have folks calling themselves sovereign citizens and pretending to understand the legal system, and every recent date you can search into google with the words Florida man/woman will reveal a new “omg what on earth?!” News article (remember when that place was known for old people who retired?). Seriously, just look at the last handful of presidents and compare them to the ones before. This latest one is especially cringe inducing with a fresh stupid comment or action each day. Why would they (whoever they are) want people to be stupid? Yea, that is perhaps so easy to answer that it just goes without saying.

I've seen the Star Wars holiday special. I wish I could unsee it.

I remember the once hugely popular 1978 movie, Every Which Way But Loose, about a lone trucker (played by Clint Eastwood) and his sidekick Clyde, an orangutan (ape) making for a fun entertaining show when I saw it in the movie theatre. That is until emerging allegations of animal cruelty and the suspicious death of the oragutan during the making of the movie and frequent calling outs against the film production crews. Today this movie is almost completely forgotten.

Johnny Depp didn't need "The Brave" to ruin his career. He managed that on his own.

"Hexan is 'witch' in English." Hahaha!

if a flying object is unidentified, it's terrible to believe it is real. =_= (this is sarcasm btw. i hate that people think "ufo" automatically means extraterrestrials)

I cant believe the Jerry Lewis movie The day the clown cried wasn't listed, that's like probably the most famous movie that has never been released . I would have bet money that it was going to be number 1. Since Lewis is now dead it will eventually get released because he had an agreement that it would come out after so many years after he died ( I thin it was 10 or 15, but not totally sure).

Marvel tried to change history in Homecoming too. Tony Stark didn't create Spiderman.

pretty sure I saw # 10. Also AA intrigues me. Hmm...>_>

The comment of Haxan being banned in the US until 2001 is not correct. It was reedited and renamed _Witchcraft Through the Ages_ in 1968 by Metro Pictures Corporation with an added narration by William S. Burroughs and a jazz score by Daniel Humair, This version appeared as part of a pledge drive on the Columbus, OH PBS in the 1970s. Both versions were provided on The Criterion Collection DVD which first came out in 2001. The Criterion Collection version gives some background on things stated in the film.

‘Haxan’ is actually quite good. As for the 1994 ‘Fantastic Four’ however ............
