Casey Neistat is a huge filmmaker on YouTube. I came to his work late a few years ago. One thing that struck me is that in his studio he has a monitor that plays, I believe, The Godfather and The Godfather Part Two on repeat, looping all the time. This really stuck with me. It's cool that he treats these two films like music or a piece of art. Like a photography or painting, hung on the wall - always there in the background to be admired at a glance - to be tuned in and out of. They add to the vibe of the studio - they conjure up at atmosphere all on their own when used in this way. In fact, in some odd way the overall work of the film might become more clear - the effect of pacing, sound, image juxtaposition - all of it can be appreciated when the film itself is background - playing as a whole over and over.
