Hello hello! I hope you’re all doing alright out there with this wild heat. Normally I’d be excited to be outside camping, but yowza I think it’s too hot for even that. So here’s to staying inside with some ice cold lemonade and watching movies! Alrighty, last week’s poll winner was Galaxy Quest! It sounds like knowing a bit about the original Star Trek series/William Shatner as Captain Kirk, fan conventions, and sci-fi tropes will help us catch fun easter eggs. Luckily we’re familiar with a little bit of all of those things, so this movie should be a hoot!For this week’s poll we’re focusing on a specific genre. We want to know what you’re all into right now, so we can pick movies you’ll be super excited to watch with us! And remember to give us your suggestions in the comments so we can use them for future polls and choose one as the winner!

I voted for Drama. I want to see you guys handle a tearjerker. Is that mean? Sixth Sense, Shawshank Redemption, Green Mile, Forest Gump, or something similar?

mikethemotormouth

If you have any interest in courtroom dramas, recommend Philadelphia(1993), 12 Angry Men(1957) and The Rainmaker(1997)

Anthony Donato

I voted Horror/Thriller. World War Z (2013) Brad Pitt.

scott osborne

i voted war in hopes we get to see a bloody good war film and not just an american war film

If sci-fi/fantasy wins here's a Fer good ones to consider. *Dragonslayer (one of the best fantasy films ever made) *Legend (is probably the closest thing you can get to a fairy-tale brought to the big screen, and Tim Curry's portrayal of Darkness is his best) *District 9 (This one is probably one of my favorite sci-fi films. I don't wanna say to much and spoil it, but it's a must watch for anyone who is into sci-fi)

Thomas Yanez

Another vote for "District 9"

Andrew R

Anything but horror

Maybe can you use a random number generator (from 1-100) and weigh each category proportionally according to how well it does in the poll? Like if the RNG comes up 1-26 we get Sci-Fi (currently leading at 26%), if it comes up between 27-41 we get Comedy (currently at 15%), and so on up to 100%? Because otherwise the result will be a kind of "tyranny of the leading faction" (usually Sci-Fi/Fantasy). Of course the leading categories should get the most representation, but I think the other categories deserve reactions, too. Making it random (based on proportional interest) seems fair to me.

FOR MORE BILL PAXTON --- one of his early roles was in the very funny teen movie from the 80"s "weird science" (very early robert downy jr role as well) bill plays the older brother, who gets an amazing comeuppance in course of the movie. Plot of the movie - two teen losers, use a computer to make a woman- she instill them with confidence and by the end they get actual girlfriends themselves. great john Hughes movie. look into it...... you will like it.

James Hadden

It’s not necessarily mean, but I don’t think they’re criers if that’s what you’re after

Wade Wallenstein

Hooray for Galaxy Quest! This is known as a "Love Letter" to Star Trek and you'll see after watching it :) I'm a huge Sci-Fi fan having grown up watching Star Trek, Star Wars and a bunch of lesser known and Cult Classics. Some of the best of that bunch are Battle Beyond the Stars, Moon and Star Crash.

MaplenutsReact

It's true, we don't cry easily haha. GOT got me good and an episode of Band of Brothers... And Dungeons and Dragons of all things!!

MaplenutsReact

I can't say I've ever seen a courtroom drama! Unless Miracle on 34th Street counts?

MaplenutsReact

I like where your heads at... We can definitely try something closer to that on another poll! Maybe I can roll a dnd die!

MaplenutsReact

Never heard of those last two... I'm very curious now!

Wade Wallenstein

Moon has a great story and Star Crash is pure cheese lol

mikethemotormouth

Lol christmas courtroom dramas, an underappreciated niche genre

Thomas Yanez

And then after you have been blown away by some of the amazing courtroom dramas available, be sure to follow it up with "My Cousin Vinnie" to cleanse the palate.

Thomas Yanez

"Moon" is one of my favorite movies.

JM63

Haha, yes! DnD die is perfect. Doesn't have to be exact percentages

JM63

Miracle on 34th St totally counts 😂 The Verdict (1982) with Paul Newman (dir. Sidney Lumet, writer David Mamet) is another great one

Nish_lt

Hearing that absolutely makes me want to see you watch Forrest Gump!

This Justin

Based on that, There is zero chance you will make it out without a tear from the movies I listed. @Nish_it is right. If Band of Brothers got you, then Forrest will get you twice.

Jr

Sci fi fantasy won. PS Lost is sci fi fantasy
