Hi peeps,

I'm sorry for the lack of polls lately. As some of you are aware if you watch the livestreams on Twitch I went through some personal stuff the last few weeks. I'll probably update you all more on this in a while. But I'm ok now and we keep our head up :). 

Soooo for today we have a bit of a random poll, since it's a few requests that I've gotten or movies that I wanted to record for a while. For next week I'll try to have a bit more of a consistent poll ready :) feel free to give recommendations in the comments here for actors/genres/directors etc. 

It could be that the poll winner only goes up next week and another movie this week, but you'll definitely get it this week or the next. Sorry for the inconvenience! Because I record a bit up front, I can generaly keep uploading consistenly even if something happens, but the uploads might not come out immediatly (or in the prefered order) since I still need to send them to an editor. I hope that makes sense!

Have a good week

Mary

I don't know if anyone has recommended this one yet, but since you enjoy space movies, I recommend 'First Man', starring Ryan Gosling. It's about Neil Armstrong's trip to the moon. I think you'll really like it.

It's an underdog, but I'm pulling for Casablanca. It's one of those "classics" that holds up remarkably well for its age.

Deadpool DOES NOT require watching the other X-Men films. It pretty much stands on its own and it is great.

PickettsChargingPort

This. If anything they will cause confusion. The only exception is Logan and Deadpool 2 because of minor Logan spoilers.

I think seeing you watch Predestination would be a real blast. Greetings from Germany. Alles Gute Mary

Sonny Smith

No Master & Commander option this time? it was #2 on the last poll

Would love to see some Wes Anderson films - specifically The Royal Tenenbaums & The Grand Budapest Hotel. Also some British gangster films - Layer Cake, Snatch & Rocknrolla.

Eric

What is that about "A Knight's Tale"?

Jesse Shadows

Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes. You’ll love it and each movie gets better and better as they go along in the trilogy.

Eric

I was really hoping for something like "10 Things I Hate About You"; an all-time, top-10 RomCom and right up Mary's alley. Honestly, that and "A Knight's Tale" are two of about 7 movies I keep pushing for (the only two on this list). If not those... I guess Deadpool would be my 3rd choice? Even though I would optimally choose for something not in the comic book genre - much as I love a lot of them, she's covered so many, would hope for more variety - none of the others grab me. I'm mostly surprised Avatar is doing so well; it's such a milquetoast movie, a soulless ripoff of Fern Gully. Oh well. Also... has she watched the first two Jumanjis? I didn't think she had yet, so... I guess you don't have to watch 1 before 2 (although you really should), but really ought to watch 2 before 3, right? (Or is "Welcome to the Jungle" 2? I can't remember the name of the other one, so I can't remember if "Welcome to the Jungle was 2 or 3; maybe it was 2?)

She needs to watch the original 1968 "Planet of the Apes" first! Then the new trilogy.

Bryan Tuck

The original is a great movie, but she doesn't *need* to watch it before seeing the new trilogy. They have nothing to do with each other, continuity-wise.

Mike LL

Crushed again that the classic film Casablanca can't win in a poll. Mary, it is time to face the fact that many wonderful films were made in the '30's, 40's, and 50's. Choose 6 or 8 classic films and have a Classic Film poll and watch one. They rarely win Patron polls by themselves, please watch one.

MrHolbyta

We will eventually get Serenity. Right?

eladrin22

It seems like (predictably) Deadpool has won... Just gonna say, 10 things I hate about you is a fantastic film. Heath Ledger was a gift to us all.

mikethemotormouth

Fairly certain Welcome is the second, Jumanji: The Next Level is #3 though I haven't seen that one so I can't speak on how good or bad it is I just saw Jungle yesterday and wow! I was not OK. One part in particular I found the cringe got painful. I'd say it's a weak 6/10

Tyler Foster

I think I mentioned it on here before, but last year I went through the Apes movies with a friend who had never seen them, and I found that a double-feature schedule worked really well: Planet of the Apes to see the original, paired with Rise of the Planet of the Apes to see a version of what might've set everything in motion. Escape From the Planet of the Apes (cutting out Beneath) and Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, two stories where the species are trying to figure out how to co-exist. Conquest of the Planet of the Apes [Extended] (cutting out Battle) and War For the Planet of the Apes: Fight!

Tyler Foster

I definitely agree about a Classic Film Poll. What else would you put on it? There are some that do make it to various reaction channels but I wonder if that would put Casablanca at a disadvantage...?

Tyler Foster

One thing I would say is that I don't think you should use Patreon polling to determine whether or not A Knight's Tale should go to YouTube...the people on Patreon have already gotten to see it!

Tyler Foster

I was waiting for you to show up, as the resident 10 Things I Hate About You fan.

Eric

Tyler Foster: Yeah, I think that and Clueless are top-5 RomComs all time. (Mr Right as well, but I feel like the first two might actually have a chance to win a poll. Not this one, apparently.) And although it's not my favorite category, those are excellent movies, and I think it's even more up Mary's alley than mine. But seems I'll have to keep waiting...

@Bryan Tuck Watching the new "Rise" prequel trilogy first would spoil plot elements of the original "Planet of the Apes", especially if Mari is going in totally fresh (which I assume she would be). Do you not remember the story-line in the original film, brah? Always start a franchise in theatrical order-- however none of the sequels to the original 1968 "Apes" movie are necessary viewing. Just the original film then the new trilogy is fine.

Eric

mikethemotormouth: Yeah, I initially thought it was 3 because I keep forgetting that 2 had a subtitle; I keep thinking it was also just "Jumanji", then realize of course they gave it a subtitle. But I keep forgetting what they called the 3rd, so I forget which is which. Yeah, I think 6/10 is a fair grade; it's nothing special but it's a fun enough, silly movie. If that's the type of movie you're looking for, it's at least a competently made version of it, with notably charismatic actors.

Tyler Foster

Sure, but if the people here have already seen it, are they going to vote for a YT edit?

Mike LL

sure bring on KING KONG (1933) for action adventure along with THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD (1938), for screwball comedy BRINGING UP BABY (1938) and IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT (1934), for drama there is CASABLANCA (1942) and THE TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE (11948), for suspense thriller NORTH BY NORTHWEST (1959), throw in an epic THE BRIDGE ON THE RIVER KWAI (1957) or DOCTOR ZHIVAGO (1965), musicals, mysteries, the list is endless.
