Saltburn is a cinematic masterpiece I’ve already watched it twice it’s dark,mesmerising and superbly acted.

The Innocents is among my favorite films, horror, or any and all genres. (It’s based on Henry James’ masterful novella, Turn of the Screw.) The real kicker watching this film (and reading the book) multiple time is figuring out if the children are indeed possessed or if the house is haunted *orrr* if Kerr’s governess is seriously, dangerously delusional, or … if all are true, or some portion. Martin Stephens as the terrifying, maybe rapist-in-the-making Miles is one of the all-time great child performances. So much subtext bubbling under a film made for 1961 audiences.

I want to talk movies all day with Emerald!!!!

she is amazing. i have seen some of the films she recommends and will now watch the others

Great video and thank you so much for putting the movie picks on screen and showing parts of them, greatly appreciated! Gonna check all of them out.

"Kind Hearts and Coronets", "The Man In The White Suit" and "The Last Holiday" are gems.

couldn't agree more with the innocents and so pleased it was in this list, that opening music and the style of the film.

The innocence is the scariest film I have ever seen. It's so chilling

great taste - think im going to enjoy saltburn

Woah I can't believe how much of a comeback Alec Guinness is making 25 years after his death Kind Hearts & Coronets is a classic, though my personal favourite of his is Ladykillers If I had to name my 5 favourites I'd go 5.The Mask/Casablanca 4.Whiplash 3.Willy Wonka & Chocolate Factory 2.Rain Man 1.Third Man

Watching Saltburn I could just FEEL the Pinter influence. Glad she confirmed that here :)

The Innocents is one of the greatest films of all time

i wanna see this movie, looks intriguing, with cast too

The Jerk is fantastic. Got me into Cat Juggling

Great picks! She is a delight

The Innocents is terrifying!

She's a bit twisted. Wasn't expecting her to put The Shining so high on her list...but it kind of makes sense.

This reminds me of Greta Gerwig, talking about her favourite films, and films that affected Barbie - which makes sense.

Mis-labeled The Innocents as the 'Innocence' in the chapters

Loved Salt burn. Reminds me of a movie" the legend of hell house" if it was connected..

love from persia for EF

Great i ever never seen any of these

She certainly has good taste in comedic movies. The Jerk is classic excellence and Vacation (2015) is underrated and a really good time.

“ I shot an arrow in the air, she fell to Earth in Berkeley square.”

I see alot of comparison between these movies and Saltburn

The films of Stanley Kubrick between 1964 and 1980 were some of the best ever made by anyone and all cover different genres. - DR. STRANGELOVE (1964) - 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY (1968) - A CLOCKWORK ORANGE (1971) - BARRY LYNDON (1975) - THE SHINING (1980)

Vacation 2015?? SACRILEGE!

So glad to finally see a privately educated Oxford graduate getting a chance in life.

Are you sulking and throwing a tantrum? 😂

four out five of those film's titles began "The __" . Hmmmmm

She's obviously picked films that have had a creative or inspirational effect on her latest film. But what a dark list... there's something deeply sinister about Steve Martin... he's a man bristling with inner frustration and anger. The films 'you' usually pick... say a lot about your own personal demons, or how you escape them. For most people wan to escape them... Emerald literally bathes in them. I wonder what that means? "Yah!, he's like... like one of my favourite screenwriters ever, yah!"

Y’all wanna be letterboxd so bad

Anyone who does not have a Kubrick in their top five is a poser.

But... nothing in Saltburn made sense...

It’s so f’ing annoying that people who sound like Emerald Fennell are always the ones getting opportunities in creative industries in the UK.

If you have that kind of annoying posh accent, at least be Joanna Hogg.

She's obviously a decent director but It's quite hard to root for someone who sounds like she's the daughter of a duke.

I don't think you understand what pretentious means. She just chose classic British films and The Shining which can be appreciated by anyone. Nothing remotely "artsy". What were you expecting, Paul Blart Mall Cop 2?

Bit of an assumption that, based on what... her accent and her unusual choice of personal favourite films?

Saltburn was an incredibly insecure film, that was SO desperate to be perceived as crazy.

She is so absolutely wrong about The Shining. In fact the worst part about The Shining was Jack Nicholson. it was Kubrick's fault because he got him to play a two dimensional cartoonish character instead of employing subtlety and evolution of the character into something awful. This would have been so much more menacing . This was exactly Spielberg's criticism and why Stephen King hated the movie.

heard her accent so had to Google. Now so disappointed to find out shes a 0.01% nepobaby. As a British person, it puts Salt Burn in a totally different light.

@@fredlewis6527 hardly an accurate representation. We all know the ruling class are vapid and vacuous… we don’t need an insecure rich person to remind us even if its meant to come across as being self referential/deprecating… Saltburn is just a derivative pastiche of Talented Mr Ripley, Parasite, Brides Head revisited etc etc etc What makes this film weird is that the self satisfied Fennell thinks she’s made a critique of the ultra wealthy when in reality they come across as a fairly likeable benign, naive family. The ending left a foul taste in my mouth as it’s practically an indictment of the working/middle class as Fennell suggests social mobility is only achievable through being a sexually depraved , murderous liar…
