17 Best YouTube Movie Channels of 2020 To Check Out
Those on the smaller screen who know all about the big.
There’re tons of channels that celebrate a love for cinema, and even the more popular ones are seemingly uncredited for their insight, hilarity, and genuineness. That lack of representation needs to change, and I want to help change it. My most recent contribution? Compiling this list of talented, funny, wonderful human beings that love movies almost as much as I do.
In a year that had many of us feeling rather uncertain about our futures, the sense of comfort and familiarity these content creators have given us and continue to give us is nothing short of inspiring and certainly worthy of praise. In no particular order, here are 17 of the best YouTube movie channels of 2020. All figures are accurate at the time of writing.
1. C-Reel Productions
Christian’s ability to passionately discuss film and offer his perspective is merely a fraction of what makes C-Reel Productions an entertaining channel.
He currently has 10k subscribers and releases several videos weekly. The channel has been up and running since mid-November of 2016; since which time it has noticeably maintained its friendly vibe, primarily through Christian’s confidence in front of the camera. C-Reel Productions has a slight and enthusiastic focus on the superhero subgenre, but covers many other types of films as well.
2. The Reel Rejects
Debuting all the way back in 2012, Greg and John have been creating consistently good movie reviews, as well as humorous skits and reactions to trailers. Of course back then they went by Ryan and Jerry.
Since then, their channel has grown incredibly popular and the comedic duo have kept us updated with all sorts of movie news in a rather timely manner. If not from me, take it from any of their 788k subscribers, their videos are funny and entertaining, and they put out several new ones a week.
3. Tasha Tipton
Tasha began uploading videos just over a year ago and already has an impressive 7.59k subscribers. She’s sometimes joined by her friends, Emma and Elizabeth, whose reactions are just as priceless as Tasha’s. The channel explores all kinds of genres and even reacts to episodes of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., as well.
I believe that, with its positive vibe and genuineness of the reaction videos and reviews, Ms. Tipton’s channel has a lot of potential to reach a much wider audience this year, and it would be well deserved.
4. Austin Burke
Austin’s channel has been up and running for about 6 years now and is currently keeping 82.1k subscribers in the loop with neatly edited movie news updates, and well-thought-out rankings and reviews.
It’s obvious that not only does Austin put a lot of effort into these videos, he’s also having fun doing it. He discusses theatrical releases and streaming service productions, several times a week, seemingly with ease. If you’re casually surfing the internet one night unsure of what to watch, Austin’s channel has binge-worthy content that will keep you occupied.
5. Decker Shado
The self-proclaimed “internet personality with the best hair” has a knack for talking fast and thinking even faster. Adequately combining impressive hilarious timing with in-depth critiques of both mainstream and cult films, Decker’s channel never fails to entertain.
He currently has 172k subscribers and 12 years worth of content, with some of his videos including comedic skits, as well as additional notes for his reviews. Even if the movie itself isn’t up your alley, Decker’s reviews are sure to have you laughing.
6. Ashleigh Burton
Almost a year after Ashleigh started her YouTube channel, she’s already at a noteworthy 49.4k subscribers. She has a series of reaction and review videos titled, “Millenial Movie Mondays” where, as the title clearly indicates, Ashleigh reacts to movies that she hasn’t seen.
A lot of the movies seem to be suggestions from her subscribers. It’s obvious a lot of work goes into creating and editing her videos, and the payoff is her genuinely interesting reactions to movies you and I have likely etched into our minds. Extra points for Beans the cat.
7. The Flick Pick
The first thing that got me hooked on John Flickinger’s videos is his love of physical media, primarily because I can relate to that. The Flick Pick is his main channel and has 277k subscribers, and his second channel, John Flickinger, has 97.4k subscribers.
Both feature insightful, well put together videos that terrifically capture what it’s like to be a shamelessly passionate cinephile with seemingly unmatchable heart and energy. His primary channel has been up for 10 years and his secondary channel has been around for 9.
8. Cinema Rules
In just over 5 months of creating videos, Shaun and Tom have managed to attract 42.3k subscribers. The two of them react and review movies one or the other, and sometimes both, have not seen previously.
They began their channel by reviewing classic horror movies and have since explored other genres. One of the most appealing aspects of Cinema Rules is the brotherly bond between the hosts, who clearly aspire to be filmmakers and are passionate enough to pull it off.
Vicky’s original channel has unfortunately fallen victim to YouTube’s restrictive and sometimes unclear policies, however she’s since created a secondary account with the same wonderful effort and insight that makes her channel so unique. Her new channel is currently at 27.8k subscribers, though it’s merely been active for 2 months.
Vicky really focuses on the films she watches to the same professional degree any respectable film critic would. The amiable and intelligent content creators are the most entertaining, and it’s especially evident at VKunia.
10. We Watched A Movie
Mike and J at We Watched A Movie have come a long way in the 9 years they’ve been reviewing movies and creating hilarious parodies and skits, and any of their 125k subscribers will surely tell you the same.
They upload new content weekly, as well as participate in live streams and unboxing videos. Half the fun of their channel is the positive vibe and wild energy the two hosts bring with their big personalities and even bigger appreciation for films, new and old. They’re down to Earth and appreciate their subscribers more than any popular influencer I’m aware of.
11. Zach Pope
No one embodies the spiritedness of cinephilia quite the same way Zach does. He’s been a film critic on YouTube for about 6 years now, reaching 17k subscribers.
There is no shortage of content available with thorough, articulate reviews for an array of films and shows of various genres and subgenres. Zach usually uploads a few videos a week and will occasionally do live Q&A streams, where he continues to clearly show his love for cinema.
12. Facci’s Faccmonster Cinema
Matt began his channel in June of 2020 and has shown a terrific appreciation and knowledge of horror films, often reacting to classics he’s not yet seen via live streams and enjoyable reviews.
Obviously a fresher face on YouTube and catering to what many would say is a niche genre, the Faccmonster is still reaching 280 subscribers, rightfully climbing in viewership and subscriptions week after week. Whereas many reviewers began with semi-grainy videos taken from harsh angles, Matt’s editing and set up puts him ahead of the curve.
13. Stoned Gremlin Productions
Currently at 166k subscribers, Stoned Gremlin Productions is the home of Brad Jones’s “Cinema Snob” host persona and Lloyd the Siamese Cat. The channel has been around since 2015 and never misses an opportunity to comedically offer in-depth criticisms and feedback on movies old and new.
More than that, post-screening reviews with members of “Team Snob” are also worthy of a subscription. One of the most entertaining aspects of The Cinema Snob is the comical and clever pop culture references found in each upload — and Lloyd. Obviously.
14. Drumdums
Not only is Lee one of the nicest human beings on YouTube, he’s also a retired Air Force MSgt, a Rotten Tomatoes critic, and he’s also an avid drummer. Imagine having all that energy, as well as faithfully uploading to YouTube for 7 years, and it’s easy to understand why he has 41.4k subscribers.
Providing thorough critiques and convention videos, Drumdums is easily one of the most enjoyable channels around. Whether it’s reviews, reactions, rankings or revisists, Drumdums is a worthy watch.
15. Chris Stuckmann
One of the most professional and affable film critics around today, Chris Stuckmann is also an author . He currently has 1.88 million subscribers and it’s of course something very well deserved.
Chris has excellent diction, an understanding of the many facets of filmmaking, and balances humor with his professionalism. His channel, now in its 10th year, covers many films, old and new, of different genres and subgenres. You can expect a couple new uploads a month.
16. Jimmy Champane
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMJj-B2p5z8
Jimmy’s channel offers movie news, retrospectives, and more recently, a Halloween fan film. The channel has definitely leaned more towards cinephiles and horror fanatics, though anyone can find joy and be easily fascinated by Jimmy’s kind nature and ability to professionally discuss cinema.
He has 31k subscribers and counting, with a couple monthly video uploads to look forward to. As with every channel I’m listing, Jimmy Champane has a great eye for background set up, thumbnail creation and video editing.
17. Dr. Wolfula
This channel has it all: a memorable host, ruminative, albeit succinct explanations and criticisms, and in-depth knowledge of genre films.
10 years and 107k subscribers later, Dr. Wolfula manages to keep his channel fresh and entertaining, and the amount of dedication to detail is indisputably awe-inspiring. You don’t necessarily have to be a fan of the horror genre to enjoy Dr. Wolfula’s content. In fact, I would argue his reviews are more in-depth than most other reviewers’.
There’s truly something for everybody, and these are just a few of my favorite YouTubers. If you have not done so already, I encourage you to check out these channels. Let us know how many you subscribe to.

With countless hours of content on the platform, YouTube is not only a great source of entertainment and escapism, but an invaluable learning asset as well. That is particularly true for those interested in film production, with some of the best film YouTube channels about cinema and filmmaking offering tutorials on everything you need to start making your own movie.
While we may love the platform for its funny cat compilations and its seemingly endless collection of music videos, YouTube’s accessibility as an educational tool is one incredibly underappreciated and underutilized aspect of the platform. That is particularly true for young and aspiring filmmakers trying to hone their craft, and passionate cinephiles looking to learn more about the movies they love.
The fact is YouTube is littered with film production channels that are designed by their creators to help viewers get more out of the films they watch and put their learnings into practice on their own work. From the writer’s room to the editing suite, these channels are essential viewing for anyone obsessed with movies and looking for inspiration to make some of their own.
Updated on August 27, 2023, by Ryan Heffernan:
15 film courage.
Film Courage is an incredible resource for aspiring screenwriters or just anyone with an interest in learning more about screenplays. Helmed by Karen Worden , the channel is largely made up of interviews with industry experts which range from helpful tips and tricks to critical industry analysis.
RELATED: The Best Free Movies You Can Watch on YouTube Right Now
Topics of some of Film Courage ’s more popular videos include covering common mistakes inexperienced screenwriters make and how to get a movie on Netflix, ensuring the channel has invaluable content for screenwriters at a great range of levels.

14 PremiumBeat by Shutterstock
PremiumBeat.com is a website dedicated to producing royalty music and sound effects for a wide range of production needs as a subscription service. While an incredibly valuable asset to many artists, its YouTube channel - PremiumBeat by Shutterstock - might be even more useful, especially to those who are still finding their way in the industry.
While the channel appears to have stopped uploading, it still features over 200 videos touching on a wide range of topics, but it does have a particular focus on tutorial content. With videos relating to motion graphics, video effects, film production, and even editing, it is a terrific resource to filmmakers with a vast array of interests.
13 Peter McKinnon
With almost six million subscribers on YouTube, Peter McKinnon ’s channel is an immensely popular resource for digital content creators thanks to its expertise and accessibility. A lot of the content on the channel is linked to photography, which is McKinnon’s passion and work, but it also contains plenty of useful videos for filmmakers.
The channel has plenty of videos on camera tricks that can be applied to low budget, or even no-budget filmmaking . McKinnon also does a lot of videos about the post-production process. His channel has hundreds of videos and continues to upload weekly.
12 The Script Lab
The Script Lab may have uploaded its last video three years ago, but the channel still serves as a valuable learning resource for those interested in screenwriting. A lot of the channel’s content focuses on interviews with successful screenwriters, with a number of its earliest videos being recorded at major film festivals and events.
RELATED: The Best Documentaries on YouTube Right Now
Some of the channel’s most popular videos include simple tips relating to plot structure and log lines, but it’s their “Script to Screen” videos that are really enticing. Showcasing famous movie scenes while the screenplay scrolls along in real-time, it offers a great look at how scenes sometimes deviate from what is on the page but still get to the core of what the scene is about.
11 Philip Bloom
As an independent filmmaker with decades of experience in the industry, Philip Bloom has amassed a significant following on his YouTube channel. His videos are incredibly well done and appeal to inexperienced filmmakers while still offering valuable insights for people who know more about the technical aspects of film production.
Ultimately, Philip Bloom is a great resource for people who want to learn more about cameras (and which ones to use to create beautifully shot movies ), with the channel primarily posting detailed and easy-to-digest reviews. While Bloom’s videos are always of a high quality, he tends to incorporate his day-to-day life in his content, giving the channel a grounded feeling which is great for giving viewers ideas on what can be done with their immediate surroundings.
10 Filmmaker IQ
This brilliant resource for inexperienced filmmakers is the ultimate back-to-basics guide for those whose eyes start spinning with even the whiff of a textbook. With playlists dedicated to the camera, lenses, and audio in addition to its most popular film direction-based content, Filmmaker IQ has a vast range of videos that are not only educational but great fun to watch as well.
Its beginner's guides go well beyond on-set lessons too, with the channel also featuring videos on how to get your short film screened at festivals and how to determine what gear is right for you. They also produced a ton of content for Hollywood buffs, from the history of some of the industry’s biggest studios to analysis videos on how key filmmaking elements and philosophies have evolved over the decades.
9 Now You See It
Taking a magnifying glass to many of our favorite movies, Now You See It analyzes vitally important elements of famous films that audiences only respond to subconsciously. Highlighting the importance of subtext and hidden meanings in visual storytelling, the channel has covered a wide range of topics across many genres.

Whether you’re a film lover wanting to learn more about your favorite movies or someone who harbors hopes of carving out a career in the industry, Now You See It is one of the best film YouTube channels there is.
8 This Guy Edits
The aptly named channel of working film editor Sven Pape , This Guy Edits is among the best video editing channels YouTube has to offer. As an ACE (American Cinema Editors) Award nominee who has worked for some of Hollywood’s biggest names, Pape brings a wealth of industry knowledge to his videos which are informative, engaging, and encouraging.
The channel offers everything from tips and tricks – on both technical and creative elements – to detailed analysis of how some of the best filmmakers in Hollywood go about the editing process . A great resource for editors of any skill level, it covers all the basics of film editing and offers solutions to many common problems editors encounter.
7 Indie Film Hustle
A channel dedicated to helping aspiring filmmakers break into the industry, Indy Film Hustle is packed with informative content that enthralls and inspires. Their “The Directors Series” remains their most popular content, a series of video essays that explores how some of the most iconic works from Hollywood's biggest filmmakers unfolded from the perspective of the filmmaker.
However, the channel also includes extended interviews with major Hollywood figures from A-list actors and legendary directors to screenwriters and producers who have been working in the industry for years. Their website, indiefilmhustle.com , boasts hours of awe-inspiring content for film lovers and aspiring practitioners of any skill level.
6 DSLRguide
A spectacular channel for indie filmmakers and aspiring videographers, DSLRguide may have started off as a simple gear review channel, but it has become so much more. With an emphasis on how to make your low-to-no-budget film look better, it covers everything from core concepts on the technical aspects of filmmaking to ‘how to’ videos covering topics like filming live music.
RELATED: The Best Free Shows to Watch on YouTube, Ranked
The channel’s host, Simon Cade , has also shared his own journey as a filmmaker and has never been shy about discussing his mistakes and insecurities in a way that is sincere and uplifting to everyone who has had the same feelings. It wouldn’t be a stretch to call DSLRguide the best channel for all indie filmmakers riding the highs and lows of the business.
5 Indy Mogul
Another channel dedicated to indie filmmakers looking to improve their craft, Indy Mogul is one of the longest-running channels of its kind and has amassed over 1100 videos in its time. The team behind the channel brings knowledge and expertise on a vast range of filmmaking components from practical and visual effects to different forms of cinematography.
With everything from tips and tricks videos, DIY effects guides, gear reviews, and analysis on how some of the all-time great filmmakers approached their work, it has something to satisfy absolutely everyone, from the aspiring filmmaker looking for inspiration to the curious cinephile wanting to know more about the filmmaking process.
4 Every Frame A Painting
While the channel released just 28 videos in its run from 2014-2016, it secured a reputation as one of the best analysts of film form ever produced. An engrossing channel for aspiring directors and cinephiles alike, it looks at everything from how directors have mastered specific elements of their craft to how geometry can be used within a scene to aid the storytelling.
What ultimately made Every Frame a Painting such a valuable resource though was Tony Zhou ’s narration which was simple and enlightening. The channel also produced videos about the difficulty of feeling out the editing process and a look at how and why film scores have become less powerful in recent years.
3 StudioBinder
One of the biggest and best all-in-one film production channels, StudioBinder has something for everyone, be they indie filmmakers or casual movie admirers. Their content ranges from video essays on how some of the greatest directors direct a film, to ultimate guides on gear and filmmaking techniques, and even instructional videos on how to make a shot list.
RELATED: Screenplays Every Screenwriter Should Read, According to Reddit
The beauty of StudioBinder is it is completely unpretentious, offering hours of content on many overlooked filmmaking basics so that even the most inexperienced and uncertain filmmaking novice can hit the ground running. Their website, studiobinder.com , has a fantastic range of practical resources for filmmakers as well, from call sheet builders to storyboard templates.
2 Lessons From The Screenplay
Viewed by many as the best screenplay analysis channel on YouTube, Lessons from the Screenplay is an invaluable source of information for aspiring screenwriters and film lovers who cherish a great story. With video essays delving deep within some of the greatest films ever made to find out what narrative device they employ and how they impact the audience, it’s as much a love letter to classic cinema as it is an educational series on storytelling.
While the channel stopped uploading in late 2021, the team behind it has stayed active in the realm of film analysis with a brilliant podcast series, Beyond the Screenplay , featuring conversational in-depth analysis of a new film every week, as well as Story Mode which offers insights into storytelling in video games.
1 Film Riot
Film Riot is arguably the ultimate filmmaking YouTube channel on the platform. It’s an invaluable source of information for practicing filmmakers, ambitious amateurs learning the craft, and even for cinephiles eager to learn more about the filmmaking behind their favorite movies.
It offers absolutely everything from in-depth tutorials to analytical video essays, and even comprehensive gear reviews, and always delivers its content in a way that is fun and engaging while being accessible to everyone no matter their skill level or expertise. Film Riot also has a website featuring the full body of work including podcasts, blog posts, and even their own filmography of short films.

27 Feb 18 Best Youtube Movie Channels – You Must See Number 1!
Its Oscar time and in celebration of the 88 th Academy Awards this weekend we have been all things movies this past week. I had a review of Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe (along with our first ever Youtube video ) and then an interview with movie producer Adi Shankar for you over the past week. Now I have compiled a list post of the 18 Best Youtube Movie Channels.
I am a big follower of Youtube channels and also the movie industry. It’s a creative art that requires a lot of different elements such as design, photography, business, music and of course, filmmaking. I’ve always been a fan of the movie industry as a whole and an admirer of the elements involved individually in the creation process.
As time has gone on I’ve found myself digesting movie news and reviews in a digital video format instead of print. I still love reading a long-form feature in a print format but when I’m looking for a review or the latest news in the industry then I now turn to Youtube.
I have compiled together a list of the best movie Youtubers that provide reviews, critics, news or information on the industry. No moviemakers are included in this list, just channels that can help you brush off on your movie knowledge in time for the Oscars.
Before we get started with this interview I highly recommended you grab a copy of our first ever print magazine. Volume 1 of 99 Percent Lifestyle has a limited print run and features a lot of movie related articles such as a behind the scenes look at the Martian, an interview with producer Adi Shankar (Dredd, Lone Survivor, The Grey) and a behind the scenes look at indie filmmaking. Read all about the first magazine here .
18 Best Youtube Movie Channels
- Name: Chris Stuckmann
Watch For : Reviews
Subscribers : 580,000+
About : Chris Stuckmann is one of the best movie critics I have ever seen and also one of my all-time favorite Youtubers. He always provides an unbiased review in an entertaining video and covers not only new releases but also films from the past. He also covers anime and every Sunday alternates between his ‘Hilariocity’ and his ‘Retro Rewind’ series that provide a very entertaining watch. If Stuckmann likes a movie then so will I.
- Name : Every Frame Painting
Watch For : Theory and Technical
Subscribers : 520,000+
About : If you want to look more in depth at the art of filmmaking and analyses of elements that are used in the industry such as how props are used or why a specific shot is used then this is the channel for you. Truly a unique channel that is great for filmmakers looking to learn more of the history of the industry.
- Name : Your Movie Sucks
Watch For : Comedy
Subscribers : 335,000+
About : New releases are covered from time to time but the real value this channel gives is the in depth and hilarious analysis on some of the worst movies ever made, such as Cool Cat Saves the Kids.
- Name : Cinema Sins
Watch For : Everything Wrong With
Subscribers : 5.4 Million +
About : This channel is truly unique in the way it will go through an entire movie in around 12 or 15 minutes and an pick apart everything wrong with it. This isn’t done in a nit-picky way, but more with comedic value instead. I’ve often found that if I ever wanted to remind myself of what happened in in a particular movie without watching the entire film then Cinema Sins is also the perfect solution (for instance, I found myself wanting a reminder of what happened in Jurassic Park 3 a few hours before watching Jurassic World. I search Cinema Sins, problem solved).

7 Ways I Avoid Doomscrolling on Social Media
Take care of your laptop: don't use it outside on sunny days, this free spotify app creates remix playlists of your favorite songs.
Video blogging or vlogging has made movie fan boys get up from the couch. YouTube has given them full broadcast rights for free to air their raves and rants. The joy of watching movies for free on YouTube is no longer a secret. In fact, you can catch pretty good full length movies on YouTube. Of course, you have to buy your own popcorn.
There are a lot of movie buffs on YouTube giving their two-cents worth by way of movie reviews. In fact, they have full-blown YouTube movie review channels to show-off their critical takes.
Which are the better ones out there? Just like the reviews you catch, the select ten is also taken from a list I follow. Agree or disagree, just give them a ten second glance.
Spill.com is a cool movie site in itself. Its YouTube channel allows you to miss the words and take in what Korey is yapping about on the latest movies that have come out. Catching the animated characters reviewing movies is fun and it helps to know that there are serious critics behind the fun faces. The pretty to look at Grace is also there with her human touch. Grace also has her own show Beyond the Trailer . As their tag line says - "If its crap...we'll tell you".
Reelz Channel
Reelz Channel is another good movie portal that has let loose Richard Roeper (American columnist and film critic) to tell you what’s the best and the worst being dished out by Hollywood. You get behind the sneak peeks, interviews, news, and reviews. Right now the channel is playing - Roeper's Best and Worst of 2011 (So Far)
Chris Stuckmann
His resume is interesting. His Facebook page defines him as an independent filmmaker as well as film critic and Michael Jackson impersonator. So, when he is not vlogging on movies, he can always do a jig. It’s always informative to hear a filmmaker speak on movies as more often than not they are aware of the intricacies that make a film work or fail.
Jeremy Jahns
The self-appointed ‘funniest critic in the world’ talks fast and goes through a 2 hour movie in 3 minutes or less. The humor is not over-the-top, but low key. The reviews are opinionated enough and he does a good job of even catching the trailers and constructing an entire review based on the sneak peeks.
Fury of The Film Fan
The reviews are long and detailed. For instance, the Captain America ends at seven minutes. The channel presents independent film reviews free from bias and influence. The YouTube channel has its own rating system which goes by names of The Gold Fury Award/The Silver Fury Award/The Fury Mark of Shame.
Schmoes Know Movies
A pair of snooty movie fan boys who poke fun at the movies and at themselves while reviewing movies they have watched. The refreshing thing is that they aren’t film critics but two regular guys telling it how they saw it. Their take is absolutely in your face.
Flick It Before You Pick It
Jonathan hardly smiles when he is delivering his flick picks. This channel belongs to another self-confessed ‘movie cowboy’. He does the whole hog – parodies, raves ‘n’ rants, DVD/Blu-ray collection updates, trailer reviews, top movie recommendations, impersonations etc.
Gab and Dad
Moving away from teens and twenty something film buffs, we come to a family team. In their own words - they review the latest releases, with unique dual-generation dynamics. There’s Phillip the dad, Gabrielle the daughter and mom to Max who also chips in. It’s not as if they agree on all points, but their discussion tells you a lot about what to watch and what to miss.
TomSPerkins (FilmXTRA)
If you go to the website and the YouTube channel, you will perhaps feel that this 23 year old guy is doing a good job of running both outlets single handedly. He uses a five-star rating system to gauge his (and others) interest in a movie. Somehow, if you are in the same age group, it works out quite well.
The Rough Cuts
As a YouTube movie review channel, this one is a bit different as it uses the collective wisdom of seven ‘YouTubers’ to talk about the movies. Each of them gets a day to talk and discuss movies. So, at the end of the week you get seven different views for the free price of one channel. Some are good and some are not very informative. The choice of movies is also very selective and is not always mainstream.
There are a whole lot of web apps that are trying to save you the price of a ticket; from Twitter to dedicated movie sites . Throw YouTube into the mix along with the other ways to read about movie reviews .

With Wakanda Forever closing off Phase Four on November 11, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is preparing for an introduction to its fifth phase, and many fans are excited to see what the franchise has to offer. Yet, many are also questioning how all these new Phase 4 characters connect to each other, with the multiverse looming as the main arc. After all, most Marvel movies are now somewhat disconnected.
Thankfully, there is a vast host of YouTube reviewers and analysts who are dedicated to explaining the intricacies of movies and anything fans might have missed. Most of these YouTube video essays are made by some key YouTubers who do an excellent job getting fans caught up in the worlds of Hollywood.
YourMovieSucksDOTorg
Some reviewers do a great job of taking apart popular movies to show why they're excellent. The film YouTuber YourMovieSucksDOTorg is best at showcasing just why fans may dislike certain movies. While that might be inherently more negative, it can still be enjoyable.
"His Toy Story 3 review blew my mind. I knew I hated it but he kind of showed me why," says a now-deleted Reddit user. While he addresses both beloved and critically panned movies, the panned movies tend to be the videos that draw the most love from audiences. Sometimes fans just need to know why a plot feels weak or repetitive.
Possum Reviews
Another YouTuber who tends to focus on movies that received overwhelmingly poor receptions, Possum Reviews has grown a large fanbase by putting his attention on reviewing "garbage" movies, as his possum icon indicates. "I really love watching Possum Reviews even though his reviews of blatantly bad movies are really cynical," says Redditor Owijs .
Most of his reviews tend to be funny, which helps to keep the content engaging even when the actual film he reviews is appallingly bad. While he sometimes addresses beloved movies, it's the mediocre ones that draw the most eyes.
While most moviegoers don't think about soundtracks, the YouTuber Sideways goes into detail on just how the best soundtracks in movies interact with each film and create an environment. Tackling both musical and nonmusical movies, the channel does an extraordinary job of teaching fans about sound in films.
"Genuinely such interesting analysis of music in shows/movies from a very funny, intelligent guy who always sounds like he’s having the best time talking about whatever he’s talking about," states Reddit user ameboleyn . His excitement, even when addressing movies like Cats , is palpable and keeps viewers as engaged as he is.
Red Letter Media
A YouTube channel focused on friends reviewing movies that are both good and bad, RedLetterMedia has picked up many fans through the years, and for good reason. With the channel often known for its dry humor, Redditor TylerKnowy described it as "a mix of comedy and insight."
The channel has different shows with each addressing several topics. From Re:View 's more positive view of film to the often maligning Half in the Bag , the channel has something for everyone — as long as everyone likes their sense of humor. Of course, given that they often tackle movies that divide critics and audiences , they can be contentious.
With videos ranging from 10 minutes to over an hour long, the YouTube channel FilmJoy has things for everyone to enjoy. Of course, while the channel offers several shows, most of the channel's supporters tend to find themselves more engaged by the Movies with Mikey show.
"Intelligent, funny and extremely heartfelt. His whole approach is to discuss beloved films and why they're so special," says Reddit user johnspost . Instead of focusing on cynicism and encouraging fans to dislike certain movies, it brings about positivity, which is somewhat rare among YouTubers.
This Guy Edits
While many film critics focus on acting, character development, plot, or setting, the YouTuber This Guy Edits focuses on the editing in film and how it affects each movie. Instead of critiquing individual movies, the channel educates the public to help them consider editing in their own review of films.
"I find myself analyzing cuts and sound design way more after watching This Guy Edits," shared Reddit user InuitOverit . Considering how many movies are edited after their initial release , it's got a wide array of content to sift through, which means fans have a lot to learn from a true professional.
Lindsay Ellis
A film critic who used her YouTube channel to launch a book of her own, Lindsay Ellis recently left the YouTube scene, but her remaining backlog of content is still fascinating to look through. "Her videos are really funny while also being very interesting," commented Redditor bman9919 .
Often, Ellis considered topics that most fans failed to consider and showcased just why she took that perspective. She focused on a wide array of issues, including animation, the influence of the filmmakers on each film, and even why the greatest movie musicals are no longer particularly popular.
Like Stories Of Old
The YouTuber Like Stories of Old is a critic who likes to go into depth with each video, which is why it's so rare to see content for his channel under 20 minutes long. It's also why he only tends to release videos irregularly, often with a month or more between releases.
"His voice and delivery is so unique and soothing... it's pretty remarkable how well constructed each piece is," says Redditor stumpcity . The channel addresses wide-ranging issues in Hollywood, like the Hero's Journey, entire genres in film, and archetypes within the industry. He offers a fascinating in-depth look at whatever topics he chooses, and it's why he's a beloved critic.
Every Frame A Painting
While there are many visually stunning movies that can awe viewers, the YouTuber Every Frame A Painting takes apart movies to show fans exactly why they come to love the looks and aesthetic of movies. It also takes a look at how to improve those very aesthetic through editing.
"They were mainly about filmmaking techniques, editing, shot composition, blocking, etc., instead of plot/story/theme like the majority seem to be," says Reddit user scoutcjustice . While unfortunately Every Frame A Painting has stopped producing videos, fans still have a lot to learn from the content the channel already produced, as the majority continues to be relevant today.
Thomas Flight
Often addressing topics like director preferences and the impact of particular films, the YouTuber Thomas Flight could give a masterclass in film criticism, as most fans would agree. "Thomas Flight does a really good job at highlighting technical details and is also great at explaining the historical reference points for many directors," posits Reddit user redditaccount001 .
With essays about editing, genres, and sound quality in movies, fans may come for the analysis of their favorite film and leave with a new appreciation for dynamic styles in film. The channel's in-depth analysis explains why each upload comes somewhat inconsistently, but the content is quality enough that fans hardly mind.

It’s no surprise to see the Honest Trailers at the top of the popularity pile, and among all the channels on this list, is perhaps the most prolific. The Honest Trailer for Titanic boasts a massive 41 million views.

FilmJoy is run by Mikey Neumann, who offers reviews, analysis, and discussions of movies, television shows, and other media. The channel deep dives into various aspects of filmmaking, such as cinematography, sound design, and more.
The channel is separated into different types of videos, with “Deep Dive” riffing off the RedLetterMedia idea of watching bad movies, while “Movies With Mikey” serving as more of a straight forward deep-dive and video essay format.
The most popular video is titled “Is JOHN WICK About the Gods of Olympus?” and has 829k views (at the time of writing). However, there’s lots to enjoy beyond that video, including the excellent “NO MOVIE is like HOT FUZZ”, which Mikey calls his “desert island film”.

Lindsay Ellis
Lindsay Ellis quit YouTube last year, which is a shame because her essays are damn good. Serving as a writer, producer, and YouTube personality, Lindsay offers critical reviews and analysis of movies, television shows, and other media.
Her videos are well-regarded for their academic and analytical approach, as well as humor and wit, all of which rolled into 30-55 minute chunks of brilliance.
The most popular video comes from “How Aladdin Changed Animation (by Screwing Over Robin Williams)” which is a fascinating look at the changes in animation and how Aladdin essentially kickstarted a movement that Shrek ran with. The video has a deserved 7.3 million views.

Pitch Meetings
The man who single-handedly carried ScreenRant’s YouTube channel for a while, Ryan George is a hilarious and humble guy, who has struck gold with his series of satirical reenactments of fictional pitch meetings for movies, TV shows and other media.
The guy has a knack for creating catchy phrases, including “Yeah, yeah, yeah!” and “Super Easy, Barely An Inconvenience!” The channel now has its own dedicated home (linked below) and features some pretty interesting new videos, where Ryan breaks down the making of said videos and how he came up with different ideas.
The pitches are witty, laugh out loud funny and immediately jump to plot holes, logical inconsistencies and hilarious observations about different movies.

The Critical Drinker
The Critical Drinker is a rising star on YouTube, run by William “Will” Jordan, a Scottish YouTuber, professional writer and avid drinker, who offers opinionated and irreverent reviews of movies, TV shows, and other media. The channel is known for its sarcastic and humorous approach to pop culture.

Often referred to as The Long Man, Mauler offers in-depth analysis and criticism of movies, TV shows, and video games. The channel is known for its detailed and comprehensive approach to pop culture, with videos easily clocking in over 2 hours.
The most recent video clocks in at 5 hours and 50 minutes, making it one of the longest to feature on this list. It’s aptly titled “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness: An Unbridled Cataclysm” and breaks down absolutely everything wrong with the new Doctor Strange movie. As one may pertain from this length of video – there’s a lot to unpack!
Mauler’s wit and humour combine with genuinely insightful and interesting takes that will likely change the way you view different films.
Mauler also has his own show he hosts too, Every Frame A Pause (EFAP), which are very long-form podcasts that can range from a few hours to 11+ hour sessions, depending on the film. If you have the time, they’re well worth checking out.

“Catwoman – The Worst Superhero Movie Ever Made?” is hilariously positioned to show just why the film is so bad, while “The Amazing Spider-Man 1&2 – Worse Than You Can Even Imagine” boasts the highest view count, with a total of 15 million views.

Mr Sunday Movies
If you’re looking for more of a conversationalist tone with your movie and TV show analysis, look no further than Mr Sunday Movies. Run by James Clement and Nick Mason, the different videos showcase humorous and informative reviews, analysis, trailer breakdowns and discussions of movies and TV shows.
The channel is known for its banter, while the ongoing series “Caravan of Garbage” sees the pair look back, grill, hilariously observe and review different movies over the years. You’ll never look at Shrek the same way after seeing the different theories, while at the time of writing, all the Batman movies are going through the ringer!
Their most popular video has 10 million views in “Avengers VS Thanos – 16 Bit Scenes” but there are a huge number of “Caravan of Garbage” video, ending explained articles, trailer breakdowns and more across the backlog.

Friendly Space Ninja
Friendly Space Ninja is a reviewer that effectively analyzes and critiques a wide variety of different shows and movies. The content ranges from shows like The Walking Dead and Fleabag to Wednesday and Emily In Paris. In fact, the latter goes through the ringer here, as Space Ninja cuts into the Netflix Original, with the cleverly titled “Emily In Paris: Romanticizing Ignorance”. With 8.6 million views and a run-time of 24 minutes, it’s one of the best videos on the channel.
However, you’ll find a lot of other good stuff here, including a 2 hour 20 minute breakdown of Riverdale, a fantastic 90 minute deep-dive into Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and the handy “10 Shows I Will Never Make Videos About (And Why)”, which is especially useful if you subscribe to the channel!
Link to the channel: Friendly Space Ninja
Full Fat Videos
Full Fat Videos is probably unknown to the masses, and that’s a shame because the content here is really well-done. Full Fat Videos are, by their very definition, chock full of content and really do well to break down different parts of movies and TV shows, with the intention of sparking discussions.
The video, “Is X-Men: The Last Stand Really That Bad?” offers up a thought provoking piece that dissects what went wrong with the third X-Men movie and whether the panning from fans and critics alike was justified.
The different video essays rarely run more than 30 minutes, but there’s a lot packed into that time. The most popular essay on the channel is titled “How the Russos Fixed Iron Man | Video Essay” which looks at Tony Stark’s journey across the MCU, and has 2.8 million views.
Link to the channel: Full Fat Videos
The Little Platoon

The most popular video is “She-Hulk – Nobody’s Laughing” which has 1.3 million views, but Platoon’s ongoing dissection of Rings of Power is well worth a watch, along with a 3 hour 26 minute video on Avatar: Way of Water!

11 best free movies on YouTube
There's some serious quality in the best free movies on YouTube
You will be shocked by the best free movies on YouTube . We were. After doing the research for this article, we at Tom's Guide were surprised by two things. First and foremost: YouTube has free movies beyond just the clips people upload and channels post. We're talking legit films that we all paid money to go see in theaters.
Our list of the best free movies on YouTube includes one of Tom Cruise's best films of all time, an under-appreciated thriller featuring John Goodman and one of the Coen Brothers' best films. So, what's the catch, I can hear you ask.
If you watch these free movies on YouTube, you'll have to sit through ads. Or at least you would if you don't have YouTube Premium , which erases ads from all YouTube videos. Oh, and some of them aren't streaming in HD, either. But that's not exactly surprising when YouTube is also a site that sells movie rentals and purchases.
So, without further ado, here are our picks for the best free movies on YouTube.
10 Cloverfield Lane
Cloverfield is a name that has a lot of connotations in movies these days, after the woefully received 2008 movie of the same name. But 10 Cloverfield Lane is a must-see no matter if you saw Cloverfield or not. A "bottle episode" of a movie, it takes place nearly entirely in a bunker where Howard (Goodman) has been keeping Michelle (Winstead) after he found her post-car crash. Howard doesn't seem entirely trustworthy (and he's more than a little creepy), so Michelle doesn't know if she should believe him that the outside world has been destroyed by a chemical attack. Tension ramps up as Michelle learns more and more about Howard.
Rotten Tomatoes score: 90% (Certified Fresh) Stars: John Goodman, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, John Gallagher Jr. Director: Dan Trachtenberg Watch it for free on YouTube

There Will Be Blood
Researching this story gave me plenty of surprises, not the least of which including the reveal that the fantastic award-winning There Will Be Blood is actually free on YouTube. Another fantastic Daniel Day-Lewis performance — this time as miner Daniel Plainview — anchors this amazing film about how money corrupts man. Yes, that description, and the story of how oil ruins everything it touches, isn't exactly new. That said, There Will Be Blood thrives off of amazing work from all involved, including co-star Paul Dano, director Paul Thomas Anderson and Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood, whose original orchestral score ties the whole thing together.
Rotten Tomatoes score: 91% (Certified Fresh) Stars: Daniel Day-Lewis, Paul Dano, Kevin J. O'Connor, Ciarán Hinds, Dillon Freasier Director: Paul Thomas Anderson Watch it for free on YouTube
O Brother, Where Art Thou?
Another surprising gem to find in this list, O Brother, Where Art Thou? is one of the Coen Brothers' best films. Also beloved for its folk music soundtrack, O Brother, Where Art Thou? transports audiences back to Mississippi in 1937 — but it's actually referencing even older lore. Co-written by Ethan and Joel Coen, O Brother uses three escaped convicts — Pete (Turturro), Delmar (Blake Nelson) and Ulysses Everett McGill (Clooney) — to riff on Homer's epic Greek poem The Odyssey. The trio are hunting for treasure, and wind up on a series of farcical adventures. A master-class of filmmaking in many ways.
Rotten Tomatoes score: 78% Stars: George Clooney, John Turturro, Tim Blake Nelson, John Gootman, Holly Hunter Director: Joel Coen Watch it for free on YouTube
Global Thermonuclear War sounds like a fun retro computer game, right? Well, that's basically what David Lightman (Broderick) thought. In actually, the high schooler had hacked into a military supercomputer, and set the country into the start of an actual war with the Soviet union. How is that possible? Lightman's accidentally interacted with the WOPR, a NORAD supercomputer that is running simulations of war. The endgame for these wargames comes through trying to convince the AI behind WOPR about the reasons to not go to war. A great mix of teen drama and thrilling adventure, Wargames is one of the best free movies on YouTube.
Rotten Tomatoes score: 93% (Certified Fresh) Stars: Matthew Broderick, Dabney Coleman, Ally Sheedy, John Wood Director: David Fincher Watch it for free on YouTube
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
Perhaps the spaghetti Western, Sergio Leone's The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is more proof that the best free movies on YouTube include inarguable classics. Clint Eastwood stars as a bounty hunter called Blondie who has to work with two fellow lowlifes — Tuco (Eli Wallach) and Angel Eyes (Lee Van Cleef) — to find buried gold. Betrayal, murder and bullets all pour in the subsequent scenes. Ennio Morricone provides a fantastic score, filled with songs that will get stuck in your head.
Rotten Tomatoes score: 97% (Certified Fresh) Stars: Clint Eastwood, Eli Wallach, Lee Van Cleef Director: Sergio Leone Watch it for free on YouTube
There are movies that use comedy as punchlines, with gaps in between riffs. And then there's Airplane!, a film that is constantly trying to make you laugh, and likely make the cast crack up, too. It all revolves around a whole plane's crew and passengers who are struck with food poisoning. Hilarious if you lived through the spate of disaster films released right before Airplane! came out in 1980, but still funny if you love a good punchline.
Rotten Tomatoes score: 97% (Certified Fresh) Stars: Robert Hays, Julie Hagerty, Peter Graves, Robert Stack, Lloyd Bridges, Kareem Abdul-Jabaar, Leslie Nielsen Directors: Jim Abrahams, David Zucker, Jerry Zucker Watch it for free on YouTube
Minority Report
Again, our search for the best free movies on YouTube let us hit another gem with one of Tom Cruise's top movies: Minority Report. An adaptation of Philip K. Dick's novella of the same name, the film revolves around the concept of precrime: the "art" of using a trio of psychics to figure out and stop crime before it's even committed. The inherent issues of the system, judging someone for something they haven't done, are brought to light when Chief Paul Anderton (Cruise) is accused of murdering a man he's never met. He then dives into the system to reveal how (or if) he's been framed.
Rotten Tomatoes score: 90% (Certified Fresh) Stars: Tom Cruise, Colin Farrell, Samantha Morton, Max von Sydow, Lois Smith, Peter Stormare Director: Steven Spielberg Watch it for free on YouTube
Romeo + Juliet
Director Baz Luhrman's color-soaked and emotional adaptation of William Shakespeare's tragedy came out at just the right time. Dropped right during Leonardo DiCaprio's ascendance to be the king of the teen heart-throbs, this version of Romeo & Juliet seems ripped from MTV with its look. Claire Danes, as Juliet, is a perfect match for this Romeo, and their chemistry made this movie feel like the ideal setup for Titanic, the following year's mega-blockbuster. It doesn't hurt that DiCaprio is surrounded by a team of all-stars working their best magic, including an excellent performances from John Leguizamo as Tybalt.
Rotten Tomatoes score: 73% Stars: Leonardo DiCaprio, Claire Danes, Paul Rudd, John Leguizamo, Harold Perrinau Director: Baz Luhrmann Watch it for free on YouTube
But I'm a Cheerleader
A nice and light satirical comedy, But I'm a Cheerleader gives us one of the few starring roles in Natasha Lyonne's early career — well before Russian Doll reminded everyone that she was severely underrated. The film is focused on Megan (Lyonne), who thinks she's a normal high school girl, or at least she did before her panicked parents declare her to be gay and send her to a True Directions, a boot camp meant to force her back into heterosexuality. And, of course, her visit to True Directions leads to Megan questioning her heterosexuality.
Rotten Tomatoes score: 41% Stars: Natasha Lyonne, Clea Duvall, RuPaul, Cathy Moriarty, Bud Cort, Mink Stole Director: Jamie Babbit Watch it for free on YouTube
Spaceballs, a low-fi Star Wars parody, may not leave you saying "may the Schwartz be with you," but you may remember it for making sure the farce is with you. With characters such as Yogurt, Pizza The Hutt and Lord Dark Helmet, Spaceballs is a movie for people who don't believe in subtlety. Not every joke may hit, but the ratio is strong enough to make this a memorable movie that many nerds of a certain vintage will love to put on, but probably don't know it's one of the best free movies on YouTube.
Rotten Tomatoes score: 56% Stars: Mel Brooks, John Candy, Rick Moranis, Bill Pullman, Daphne Zuniga Director: Mel Brooks Watch it for free on YouTube
Pumping Iron
If you thought Arnold Schwarzenegger was a weird adult, you should see young Arnie in this documentary shot during his days as a young body-builder. Through a series of interviews with Schwarzenegger in the days before the Mr. Universe and Mr. Olympia competitions (and during said events), the film shows a side of the megastar you've probably never seen. Surrounded by his fellow bodybuilders, Schwarzenegger constantly says the unexpected, and you get a glimpse of how he became so popular — as it was all happening.
Rotten Tomatoes score: 91 Stars: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Lou Ferrigno, Roger Callard, Franco Columbu Directors: George Butler, Robert Fiore Watch it for free on YouTube
