If you want an easy fix of videos I think are good, when I really like one I add it to
​ this playlist on my BGSdrama youtube channel

Cinefix

They do great videos on genre and film techniques

when they do a '10 ten action movies' video, its not just a countdown, each position is used to cover a subgenre or element of the genre that makes it effective.

​I learnt a lot from this channel, its great.

Patrick H Willems

Film criticism that is accessible and interesting

he also pastiches filmmakers and genres- such as 'If the X Men was directed by Wes Anderson' which is brilliant

His later film criticism is often shot in the style of the director, or in the style of a specific genre, which can help you recognise the repertoire of elements within that genre

Rocket Jump Film School

Guides to film roles and techniques, nice short and informative videos to help you with your cinematography, editing, directing, screenwriting and sound design (amongst other things).

​They also review tech that the school cannot afford.

Wisecrack

Wisecrack uses philosphy and critical theory to examine films (and other media)- so it's great for ideology

​such as this one on Starship Troopers where they show how the film turns us all into fascists when we watch it.

they also have 'deep or dumb' and 'why it didn't work' which are very interesting series

Crash course; film history, film criticism and film production

A dude takes you through film history

A dudette takes you through film critism

Several different dudes/ dudettes take you through film production

short and very informative videos- a great resource!
​
t​hey quote books to save you reading them too!

History Buffs

Looks at films based on real historical events and explores how accurate they are.

​its great for Easter Eggs and giving you a deeper understading

Cinemassacre

Particularly brilliant if you like horror or monster movies.

most famous for their 'Angry Video Game Nerd' series, the channel is now mostly a video game channel rather than a film review channel, but all the old videos are there and they have covered A LOT of horror movies and some other stuff, mostly sci fi.

The other sad thing is that the film reviews used to have clips of the films in them, but copyright law has put a stop to that
