It’s a rare thing, a film you watch time after time, which never bores you.

Should have won an Oscar for "best movie ever made."

Hi Conor, I'm a random person on the internet who just happened to pass by your video, but I wanted to say thank you for making this. With 2021 being the 20th anniversary of Ocean's Eleven, I've felt a desire to re-watch the trilogy recently. Luckily all 3, and 8 are on HBO Max. After watching them, I was reminded of why I love the original 3 movies, and how they're timeless and unbounded. Yet, considering the state of blockbusters now, they are sadly of their time too with a magic that can't really be replicated. I never did consider the masculinity aspect of it before, even if its obvious, and I really wish Ocean's 8 could have done a feminine approach with a style to make it a fine addition of that trilogy. Your analysis was finely thought out and the editing did the films some great justice. It's also great to finally get a video essay/retrospective on why these movies are cool and fun than the usual shorter and quicker reviews people have made. In other words, thanks for the Cool video. Cheers.

Some of the best films ever, dismissed by many as all style no substance. I could watch them all a million times (except 8)

The entire time I was watching Oceans Eight, I kept thinking that the script must have just told Cate Blanchett, “be Brad Pitt.” I don’t blame her at all. It just felt like that was the only goal for her character. Play the character people like just be a woman while doing it. And that summarized, to me, the entire design goal of the movie. With that cast it could have been great and there’s nothing stopping an Oceans film from working with an all female crew. It’s a shame that it didn’t work, for whatever reason.

I love Ocean's Eleven.

Me too 😊

Isabel definitely wasn’t short changed. They made her more than just the woman Rusty’s in love with. She’s tough, she’s smart, she’s a bit ruthless especially towards rusty like she was waiting to make him suffer

Awesome essay. I appreciate the dissection of “cool”

The Ocean's trilogy is only surpassed in greatness in my mind by the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

The original meaning of cool is calm. That is how you become cool.

this was such a good analysis and deserves way more views than it got

Pretty interesting idea for an essay, the only thing I wish was better was how quiet your voice is.

Nice video.

Man, I really really wanted to like Ocean’s Eight. Loved the original trilogy and was so excited for Eight. But it was such a let down. And I think the script was a little too on-the-nose to feminize the elements of the Ocean’s trilogy, specifically having to steal jewelry, in my opinion. If they do an Ocean’s Nine I’m down to check it out since I like the concept and the cast, but everything needs to be improved. Different director for sure.

Oceans 12 is best

The intro😎😎😎

Damn.

Heist music! Lol

I dont consider 8 a Oceans movie.

It’s not that serious bro

11 is the best heist movie 12 is the best movie 13 is over saturated :(

But you have to admit, the nose played.

When you talk about nothing less cool than trying to be cool and show the clip from Mad Max Fury road, I think that clip is trying way too hard. The other two clips from Bad Boys and the one of bogey or both cool as fuck obviously, but the Mad Max clip isnt

I'm sorry. What? The Mad Max clip of the chase with the guitarist is one of the coolest things ever.
