I want Matt Sloan's hair. Not like, on a platter or something. Just hair like his.

Weirdest thing for me is that after I watched this video when it was originally posted, I started seeing Fitzcarraldo references everywhere. And I hadn't even heard of this movie before.

I can't believe this has been 8 years. This was the episode that sold me on the concept. Thank you for the years of entertainment!

@@Rhewin Also one of my first episodes. Just rewatched. The crowning of America's Caveman.

Aaaahhhh this is the origin of 'Ron Perlman; America's cave man'! (just watching the series again...)

'I don't think the birds sing, they just screech in pain' What a quote

Fitzcarraldo is great, but Aguirre is even better.

i love when matt is presenting the movies, Craig"s anticipation and reaction is always so great

I WANT MY OPERA HOUSE!!!!!!!! and also a I WANT MY OPERA HOUSE t-shirt

Dear Matt and Craig, Just wanted to say that the show is awsome and look forward to every episode. Even though the episodes are only on average about 15 min. I fell as though I was there and watched the movie with you guys on the old leather couch! I believe that I can speak for everyone watching and say that every new installment is funny, informative and a treat to watch. Keep it up guys and I I only hope there will be a season 2...

I can't express how much I enjoy this series. Thanks again, guys.

This is my new favorite Web Series, hands down! 19 minutes just flew by, y'all have a great show!

This is definitely one of the classic WttB episodes

Are you related to Putney Swope? If not, check out the movie by the same name.

These get better and better, can't wait for the next one!

I've never had such a good time watching someone watch a movie.

I was telling my dad about America's Caveman Ron Perlman just the other day! Such a classic bit, I'd forgotten how many of the recurring bits started this early

Actually this movie feels like an alternate Heart of Darkness, want to watch

I hope you guys do a season 2 next year :) Watching movies I have never heard of and having you guys analyze the film afterwords is very interesting.

This is the best thing on youtube.

Finally watched Fitzcorraldo, you guys definitely got it.

This made such a lasting impression on me when I watched it sometime in the early teens. The scene with pulling the boat up a cliff is stuck to my mind forever. Guess I have to watch it again soon, so thanks for this :)

This has seriously become one of my favorite series. I love the episodes where I've already seen the movie y'all are watching so I can relate, but I think I like the ones I haven't seen even more because I get to hear about movies I doubt I ever would have if I didn't see it here.

I love this series you're doing.

Yes,this is what basement,should be,two men who know what they are talking about when it comes to the art of movie making,well done

You guys have excellent in-depth film analyses

Hey guys, I think it would be interesting if you saw a concert film, namely Led Zeppelin's "The Song Remains the Same". It'd be different to do a movie like that, but possibly in a good way?

I love this show, please do more,

Man I love this show.

This is a great series!

This, in my opinion, is the best episode of Welcome to the Basement so far. The movie is unique, the analyzation is terrific , and the comedy is gold.

11:28-11:46 - "The trees here are misery and the birds are in misery. I don't think they sing, they screech in pain" - LMAO!!! :)

I'm a huge Herzog and Kinski fan. Thank you for making this, sinse almost no one seems to even hint at their excistance when it comes to online movie stuff :P

Watch it. You must! I love the hell out of that movie.

Entertaining and relaxing to watch, and getting some movie suggestions to watch when I'm bored... a pleasant experience... =3

I WANT MY OPERA HOUSE!!! Ahh Welcome to the Basement makes me happy in ways nothing else could. Please give us more!!!

I think this is my favorite episode so far.. I think you're just beginning to hit your stride.

I love Welcome to the Basement, its really and its like sitting next to you guys watching a movie. It might be hard to find but the canadian zombie movie Pontypool (2008). It very different and thrilling and inventive. Even if you dont review it is a must see! keep up the great work

Awesome!!

also i decided to watch Paint Your Wagon it was such a good movie i went out of my way to get the soundtrack when your depressed and sing a can of beans and the best things in life are dirty you get a feel for everything plus every guy knows playing in the dirt is always fun so thank you for showing me this amazingt 3 hour long movie....yes i did take breaks in between ....including during the intermission lol good job guys :D

Hi Guys! :D Just wanted to share with you that while at an Academic Challenge meet, the final question of the match that would decide who would win the entire tournament or not was about this movie :) I was able to win, only through your pure awesomeness! Thank you so much!

Herzog is one the my personal favorite and greatest director of all time

I love this series of videos! did you already say you saw Zardoz?

I absolutely love this series, keep it up. I would like to know if you guys have seen Michael Mann's Thief.

This show makes me want to watch more movies! :D

Are you guys releasing these every two weeks now? Because if so, keep it up! I love this series!

I've yet to watch Fitzcarraldo, but I love and have watched Burden of Dreams a few times.

Fun Fact: Kinski, in 2013, was accused by his eldest daughter, Pola, of incest and sexually abusing her. These accusation were also supported by his younger daughter, Nastassja.[

OOOHH! I've finally figured out which movie you should watch! I'm excited about it because it's a really really cool movie. It is "Sita Sings the Blues."

Just finished watching Fitzcarraldo, guys. Have to say I agree that the movie felt a bit slow to me, but overall I found it rather fascinating. Love the show!

Two suggestions from Australian cinema that are favorites down there, though they are newer than what you've been showing. Kenny - haven't met anyone who saw and didn't enjoy this movie though few have seen it. Mockumentary about a guy taking care of porta potties. The Castle - Classic underdog story

Great episode!!! I really feel like I should go see Fitzcarraldo now although it isn't my normal interest. I still wish you guys would watch The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension if you haven't seen it.

good job guys

i Enjoyed the delay in the joke that ends "..or not". I think Matt said Fitz plays music that solves the anger issue of the natives, Craig says something about the movie seen having everything it needs, then the spear comes through the ship.

How about some early John Carpenter. His 1974 sci-fi comedy "Dark Star" is a ton of fun if taken with a pinch of salt. Loving the work guys, keep it up.

The thing I found most interesting about this movie was the dragging the boat over the hill...I was so interested I got the DVD that goes into great detail about how they actually drug the boat over the hill...amazing! Everyone should see 1956 Forbidden Planet with Walter Pidgeon, a young and serious Leslie Nielson, and a very hot Anne Francis...they got away with quite a bit for 1956. I assume a couple of sharp folks like you have seen it, but I am sure many of the commenters haven't.

I would humbly suggest The Adventures Of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension. I remember reading ads for the movie in Marvel comic books when I was growing up, and never managed to persuade anyone to go and see it. When I was older, I was stunned at the madness of the entire production - and I hope you will be as well. ...but you've probably Seen It!

I have yet to see Fitzcarraldo, however I've seen Aguirre, also starring Kinski in the Amazon rain forest, though this time as a Spanish Conquistador. Awesome movie!

I saw this film in a college geography class. probably the best course I ever attended.

14:27 8 1/2, with the construction of the enormous structure that Fellini began before he even knew what it would be used for.

My thoughts, exactly. RIP Michael Crichton!!!

I love you!

"flavor flav " as they call him,is the brazilian actor grande othelo one of the biggest talents in history of dramaturgy.

For SCENE IT can I suggest - Come And See (1981) After finding an old rifle, a young boy joins the Soviet Army and experiences the horrors of World War II. Also Smilla's Sense Of Snow.(1997) Mysery/Suspense story surrounding the death of a young boy who fell from a roof. A neighbor believes it was murder since the boy was afraid of heights. Also, nice episode. I haven't seen Fitzcarraldo but I saw the documentary (Burden Of Dreams) which was very inspiring to watch.

Agreed!

The parrot part was hilarious

I love this series. I hope it continues for a very long time. Have you seen "Electric Dreams"?

I will continue to hold out hope that one day the two of you will watch Wild Zero.

Great show! I think you guys should watch Return to Oz. It's the sequel (sort of) to the Wizard of Oz, made in 1985. It's a weird one, but oddly very enjoyable (especially if you like puppets and old school effects).

I'd be surprised if they hadn't seen this gem.

Have you seen The Good, The Bad, & The Weird? Incredible action packed Korean film.

I highly recommend the film, "The Fall," directed by Tarsem Singh, starring Lee Pace and Catinca Untaru. It's a movie not many seem to know about and it's a movie more people ought to watch!

If you'd like to see Michael Crichton do something different from Jurassic Park, you could try 1978's The Great Train Robbery, which he directed based on his own novel, starring Sean Connery, Donald Sutherland, and Lesley-Anne Down.

FANTASTIC EPISODE.GREAT FILM. I'm hesitant to suggest this, since I'm not certain you would consider reviewing a silent film, but I still have to ask... Have you both seen THE CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI?

You guys should see the movie Four Rooms and or In the Mouth of Madness, I enjoyed both greatly.

I've been able to work in a legitimate reason based on the content of the episode to recommend the following movie for 4 months now, but I can't for this one. So, I'll just recommend it. Arsenic and Old Lace!

I wish it was on Netflix. I love that movie.

Ip Man. A dramatic take on a martial arts movie.

i wish i had cool friends like you guys

Have you seen The Signal? I saw it on Starz at like 4 am and it blew me away.

America's Caveman... Priceless !

Love the show guys have you seen the unsung movie The Man From Earth

I love this movie! Easily one of herzog and kinskis best!

I'm recommending this because it's on MY list of movies I need to see but haven't yet, and I'd be interested to hear your analysis: "Donnie Darko".

Hey guys! Love the show! I was wondering if you have seen Ralph Bakshi's, Fire and Ice?

I'll give it a go then! Been looking for something decent to watch.

The guy that he met in the railroad is Grande Otelo , Brazilian actor very well know , he passes away some years ago.

You guys need to see The Love Bug. Its a great movie with a cool car. What more could you want!

Opera or Terror at the Opera, it's an interesting Italian horror film. Weird but definitely a movie that provokes conversation.

8 1/2 is also one of those rare films about the impossibility/absurdity of its own creation.

Love the show. I would like to suggest that you guys watch Timerider: The Adventure Of Lyle Swann.

Seen It: Ravenous? 1999 - Guy Pearce and Robert Carlyle. To me this is more than a story about cannibalism. It is an epic morality tale. I saw this late at night on cinemax a long time ago and after the opening scene I was totally hooked. To me this was a very original film so I really enjoyed it. Has a small cult following but did not do well overall. I try to get all my friends to watch it. Nobody has liked it yet.

Super Fuzz!! A 1980 classic starring Terence Hill as a cop with super powers, until he sees the color red.

You guys should also see the Back to the Future movies. They are my 4th favorite movie series and it has a somewhat crazy looking scientist.

Please watch Starship Troopers. The incredible theme of satire, and campy feel make it a must watch for any movie-goer. Plus, it's fun!

Oh, this is a great series. I'm gonna suggest the 2000 Japanese horror/action film "Versus" by Ryuhei Kitamura. It's one of the most psychotic and awesome movies I've ever seen. Even if you have seen it, I would love to hear your take on the ending. It really lost me.

Yes.

The film about making "Fitzcarraldo" is great, too.

I really hope this suggestion makes the "Seen it!" segment. A multi gengre film starring Christopher Lee, Edward Woodward and Britt Ekland. Directed by Robin Hardy, it is a horror/mystery/crime/musical-movie sprinkled with realistic depictions of ancient pagan practices. I am of course talking about the british classic The Wicker Man (1973). Afterwards you could watch the version from 2006 with Nicholas Cage (Step away from the bike!) for a prime example of how not to do a remake.

Pumaman wants his opera house!! Even if he has to sail all the way to the Bermuda Triangle to get it!!

I like how eps are edited down, but any chance you could release extra videos for those who want even more of Welcome to the Basement? Perhaps with some bonus footage of clips of you guys while on the ol' leather couch?
