Hmm. Can't download it. Weird. Good movie tho'.
 
*edit* Fixed.

Excellent Choice! Love that movie, although it makes the lifestyle of a CIA assassin a little too appealing.

Love this movie. Shame they went and mucked it up with the not as good sequels.

CashBaileyon Aug. 25, 2011 at 6:26 p.m.

Damn good movie, but the sequels are amazing. Especially BOURNE SUPREMACY.

I completely agree that the film is influential and amazing. However, it almost seems like the Hallowed Halls of the Besties are getting a touch crowded...

The first one is great, the second is good and the third one is boring and kinda bad.

I love the entire trilogy (with Ultimatum my favorite), I never understood the complaints about the shaky cam, when I saw the sequels I was never cognizant of it at all and had no complaints about the cinematography.

Every time I think of this movie I just think of Damon's well choreographed and realistic fight scenes and gun play. Also the story is relatively good if not a bit tried to a small degree but that is OK here. I do have a hard time with the subsequent sequels because the shaky cam DOES affect the movies, sorry. Great choice for a Bestie.

Very worthy, but I'd also include the sequels, since I'm not nearly as bothered by the shaky-cam as everybody else. I also agree it's a film classic.

"Disposed African despot"? Did you mean deposed, Rorie?

Damn good film!

My favorite film series! You hit everything right Rorie. You guys should upload the last part to YouTube as a stand alone video!

Daveyo520on Aug. 25, 2011 at 8:29 p.m.
I <3 Matt Damon and these movies.

Only seen the first one and love it! need to watch the other 2, seriously fell behind on them.

shake,shake,shake!

Love this series. Best PG-13 action flicks around. Never was bothered by the camera shakes. Used this particular movie for my final in my scene design and storyboard course in college.

Shake cam, and how the character Marie is dealt with in the second film (vs the books), are the main reasons that I prefer the first film to that of the second and third.  I prefer the balance they achieved between character interaction, story and action vs that of the other outings as well. 
 
Loved the end of your video.  ^_^

I absolutely giggled at the Paul Greengrass bit at the end. Great work Joey!

psychpunkon Aug. 25, 2011 at 9:21 p.m.
Awesome. I feel like it's definitely a thing to hate the Greengrass shaky cam though. The sequels are still amazing.

This series is a damn fine example of a book-turned-movie that didn't need to stick that close to the source material.  Identity does use the Paris setting and some events from the first half of the book, but the sequels basically threw their source material into the garbage and made an original story that felt coherent and easier to film then the plot of the novels.
