My favorite sequel of all time is Ocean's Twelve

Bold and subversive of expectations, it has a special kind of je ne sais quoi attitude towards film making at the height of making fun & crappy films (2000s). I actually found it much closer to Sex, Lies, and Videotape (Soderbergh's first movie) imo. Fantastic film

creating and destroying; built flying cars & autonomous vehicles, now building /faust, more here: /july, web: july.rocks

I actually don’t care that much about oceans 11 or oceans 13 honestly, but I love how un Hollywood this Hollywood movie was, ironically using Hollywood stars.

It’s rare to be able to make art house-ish film at this scale and in Hollywood nonetheless and to make one without really alerting everyone or advertising it as such, and in a weird way still be appealing as other aesthetically pleasing films, it’s interesting as an idea - and damn hard near impossible to pull off

Case in point from Steven Soderbergh himself:

I feel like it’s a movie about making sequels, and part of it is saying I don’t care about Hollywood tropes. In a way it’s a movie about film making. Reminds me of Fellini’s 8 1/2 in some ways - when you try to make sense of it as a consumer product it falls apart because it’s an expression

I love the Oceans movies. They’re the kind of films I’ll always stop and watch if I see they’re on tv. Also only just found this channel. So happy!

I think I may have missed this! Excited to watch.

I'll second that. I can't think of a better one.

Ocean’s movies are some of my all time favourites

100% this is one of my favorite

In fact, may just watch it on my flight tonight...

Thanks for the reminder, got to re watch this movie.

Strong agree. Few sequals rival the original. Oceans Twelve did.

Im doing an outdoor movie night tomorrow and im throwing this in the movie suggestions. A July rec is a worthy rec after all 🤙

Also has the best soundtrack. Gonna have to rewatch in light of your points

I love Ocean's Twelve and heist movies in general more than I'd like to admit

My favorite and childhood film. Picture, aesthetics, cast, music. Best out of the best. Second film was the peak of performance with twist in it. About the third, i would say just good end. 

With all respect we not gonna mention the ocean’s 8*
