Ok sooooo, here are the sweet 16 teams/movies and then minus the FINAL FOUR which I'll be making my way through. So 12 options, one wildcard winner!

Update post coming soon!

Bryan Erickson

Wow! There’s some bangers on this poll.

JohnnyUtah

Soul is sad Arnie is losing total recall is a classic

Devon Caitlin

Voting for Training Day so that if Denzel wins the Pollception we get a bonus Denzel pick: John Q or Man on Fire

Jordan Murphy

I think Total Recall, Thomas Crown Affair, Hot Fuzz, Tears of the Sun, and Ready Player One are the best options! I voted for Thomas Crown Affair as I've never seen a reaction to it and it's a great movie! Fun, sexy, exciting etc... Hot Fuzz is HILARIOUS and unique in its comedy. And I love the representation of the military in Tears of the Sun... under-rated movie, in my opinion.

Mike LL

Total Recall, man! See folks, those voting for the 100-250 Request App poll on the other poll, this is almost the same thing, and you are getting the Final Four films also. Director's Poll seems more interesting than more request app movies!!

christopher b swanson

thomas crown affair for you and carly...............a romantic heist thriller.............best movie on list............except for rounders

Jake McNulty

If "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure" wins then I hope you'll follow it up with "Bogus Journey". There don't seem to be as many reactions to that one.

adam weisler

Please watch the original Thomas Crown Affair (1968) with Steve McQueen & Faye Dunaway! :-)

Doc Larry

I voted for Total recall because it’s adventure and a roller coaster ride. My second choice would have been Training day magnificent performance by Denzel, Washington.

Alex Gorell

The rocketeer. I think she’ll like that one the best. Action/adventure, fantasy, romance.

Todzilla

Hot Fuzz is beating Bill & Ted AND Total Recal? This has got to be rigged. If you voted for Hot Fuzz over these two please feel free to explain your reasoning.

Zachary K. (Verified Swiftie)

C'mon Hot Fuzz is funny don't get me wrong but compared to Denzel and Training Day it's like comparing a Reliant Robin to a Bentley Edit: Radiant Robin is way too low Hot Fuzz is more like a classic Austin-Healey, pick a year. You pick the Bentley because there is not enough Denzel Washington movies on this channel.

Matt Rose

I voted for THOMAS CROWN AFFAIR. Of the ones listed, I think you'd like it the most (it's a lot of fun). That said, I think you'd enjoy most of the options listed.

Chris Clarke

By the power of Greyskull! (Or Grayskull for my friends on the other side of the pond! 😊)

Above Average Dave

THE ROCKETEER is where I first fell in love with Jennifer Connelly. Sadly, she never called me back 🤣🤣🤣

Rick Savage

Thomas Crown Affair is a perfect movie for Cassie and Carly. It's a sexy, romantic, heist, thriller.

Stranger2Reality

The movie you'd like the most is the Thomas Crown Affair. Out of the ones you listed here though, you'd probably like Bill & Ted more than the other ones.

Jayson Phillips

Hopefully Ready player one, all the 80's references in one movie!

Joe Cross

Rocketeer is the one I think you would enjoy most and that Carly would enjoy as well

Gábor Árki

So many underrated ones here, A BRIDGE TOO FAR, TORA TORA TORA, ROCKETEER and more. Sadly I doubt any of these has a chance against HOT FUZZ.

Stranger2Reality

That's hands down the one Cassie would like the most. Hot Fuzz is currently winning, and even though I absolutely love that movie, I feel like she's not going to like it much.

Blake Evans

All of these are great picks, but Training Day with arguably Denzel at his best! That King Kong speech...

rakesh

Some good ones here, total recall especially. But I have a soft spot for rounders. Give dat man his moneee.

David Blount

Oddly enough, I think she’d love Man on Fire. The chemistry between Denzel and Dakota fanning is excellent.

Ike

“Tora, Tora, Tora” I’ve been wanting forever. “Tears of the Sun” is a great, highly underrated Bruce Willis movie, so I want that too! The two I DON’T want are winning, haha. I didn’t like Training Day and Total Recall (paid good high school money from my job at Wendy’s that year) was a flop then, a flop after and is suddenly popular again. Thems-the-breaks, I guess, lol.

David Blount

It was Opportunity Knocks that did it for me. Then The Hot Zone. Then requiem for a dream (joking)

Above Average Dave

Yes, THOMAS CROWN AFFAIR was basically made with Cassie and Carly in mind, even though they were just children (unless this is the Steve McQueen one - then it was predictive of their respective births and eventual movie preferences/likes 🤣).

Matt Rose

My Cocaine was not in the original TCA, that was Steve McQueen. That said, the one in the poll is the Brosnan version, not the McQueen original. Both films are excellent for different reasons but I much prefer the Brosnan one.

Yaisu

I gotta go with hot fuzz

Anjolie Lanel

I agree. I was recommended this movie while at the museum and found the remake with Pierce Brosnan was a lot of fun and with a great ending

Farbod

This is the original Total Recall, correct? Not the horrible remake.

Clay F

My top 4 in order: A. Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure B. Uncle Buck (for the John Candy charm) C. Training Day (for Denzel Washington's performance) D. Total Recall

Eric

Total Recall!!

John Drake

I a big Total Recall fan but its hyper violent and gory (same director as Robocop) so not sure if it's Cassies cup of tea - lots of "Oh my gawsh" moments ahead. See you at the party Cassie!

Anjolie Lanel

Rocketeer is a fun action movie with humor and great characters. I just wish they made a sequel

Ty Kellington

The Hurricane (1999) is one of Denzel's best movies. Super underrated. Would also check the box for historical events as it's a true story.

Christian Rennie

Total Recall is perhaps a must see sci-fi. But The Rocketeer is one of my favorite movies. I think Cassie and Carly would enjoy watching it together. I’m not sure when they are gonna get back to some old fashioned romcoms but my pick is Fools Gold as a fun adventure RomCom.

Fred Anima

Cmon Uncle Buck you can do it!!!! Lol

Anjolie Lanel

The original Total Recall with Arnold was much better than the remake with Colin Ferrell. I hope she watches the original

rakesh

Yeah this would be old school movie charm that they both would like.

Patrick Reynolds

Of course. Speaking of hands down the one for Cassie. Why not "The Pelican Brief" Julia Roberts and Denzel Washington in the same movie thriller! Put that on the list.

abraham wilson

Hot Fuzz vs Uncle Buck is a "Sophie's choice" type of decision.

Story Archer

Come on guys, consider your audience - The Thomas Crowne Affair all the way...

Cliff Endicott

This needs to be a most righteous win for the most bodacious movie! Anything else would be bogus... heinous. So be Excellent!

Story Archer

On the surface I'd agree... but Kate Beckinsdale AND Jessica Biel? Yes, please...

NSG MMA

People, vote Uncle Buck. What are we doing here. We aren't animals. Lol

Joe

Cassie, can you just react to the winner and runner-up? Too many good ones here (haha).

Dan M

Seriously, out of all of the movies on this list, I love Uncle Buck the most, and I think Cassie AND Carly will love it the most as well. Its got multiple elements of a movie that they both like (comedy, tender moments, nostalgia from the 80’s, John Candy, directed by John Hughes). “I don’t think I want to know a six year old who isn’t a dreamer or a silly heart. And I certainly don’t want to know one who takes their student career seriously. “ My favorite quote from the movie.

Michael Weiner

If The Thomas Crown Affair was the original, I’d vote for it.

Bruce C Snell

I see a couple of people have asked which version of Total Recall (I prefer the original) but my question is, which version of The Thomas Crown Affair? The original is old School 1960s fare with a great cast (Stever McQueen) but I found the new one to be a bit more fun (and sexier).

David Collins

The channel needs more John Malkovich and Matt Damon so it's "Rounders" all day long for me. It needs more Edward Norton too, for that matter. What an amazing cast it had.

jdj830

Wasn’t 2001: A Space Odyssey in the mix at one point? That’s what I really want Cassie to see. Oh well. Really not a fan of Total Recall, but again, oh well. Of this list I will root for Rounders, Bill & Ted, Uncle Buck and Rocketeer.

Knight Squirrel

So many great options, it's probably best to do them all. LOL 😜

Clay F

I developed a crush on Jennifer Connelly when watching Career Opportunities (1991) in the early 1990s. She is interesting in Requiem for a Dream (2000). I liked her in Blood Diamond (2006).

rakesh

If you change it to your top 5 list it will make it! Number 1 movie I get. Top 3 movies. Ok. Top 5 movie sure. Top 10 yep. But Top 4?!?!?!!? C'mon man. thats like saying my favourite 6 and half movies.

2-Can

It looks like we can pick as many as we want on this list. Could this effectively be a poll where we don't vote for the ones we don't want to see?

David Collins

Clay, I could have said "pay that man his money" if you had included it. I am disappoint.

Clay F

As you may know, Denzel Washington won the Oscar for Best Actor for his performance in Training Day.

Tim C

Almost PickedRounders is a good Movie but I have to pick Uncle Buck they don't make comedies like the 80s.Plus John Candy was a Canadian.

Shawn Kildal

Cassie could be seeing the lovely Jean Louisa Kelly a couple of times in the very near future if Uncle Buck somehow pulls it out with Mr. Holland's Opus on the horizon

Orcagirl78

I love Rocketeer!! Such an underrated gem of a movie!

Neil Varma

Hot fuzz might be the best script of all time

ulyssescpt

I abstain. All are ok to fine movies. I'd rather they watch something else.

KTVindicare

Poll's busted you can vote for as many choices as you want.

John

Patrick Mcgoohan forever! Cassie would've liked Robocop better if she had watched the theatrical version instead of the extended version, which put back in much more blood and violence that had been cut out. 9 out of 10 extended versions are a waste, directors cuts are better.

John

Rocketeer is an very underrated movie and fun.

JZ714

Rocketeer's a movie I think you'd enjoy.

Allen W. McDonnell

Total Recall with Arnold Swartenegger, not the awful remake!

Sean Stuart

Maybe being 38 but of those 80-80 movies Total Recall, Robocop and Big Trouble China were too 80s and bizarre for me. I’m voting for Bill and Ted.

Shehab Dawoud

She already saw Equalizer. We don't need another 'Denzel killing and torturing people' movie. He's too good for that.

Luke Godfrey

I don’t expect it to win but I voted Tears of the Sun. It’s an underrated Bruce Willis movie imo.

mikethemotormouth

As much as I may want to vote for Rocketeer or Rounders or Thomas Crown Affair, none of them are half as good as Hot Fuzz or Uncle Buck(John Candy's best IMO) or Total Recall(what actually got my vote as it is my personal 3rd favorite Philip K Dick movie adaptation) Edit: just noticed I'm able to pick multiple this time so voted for everything I mentioned and then some but I'll be pulling for Doug McQuaid

Brent Petty

Well, yeah. One's a comedy and one's a drama/thriller. They're different by design.

Elias Shaikh

Rocketeer is a fun adventure, and since it’s set in 1938 it’s deliberately “dated” so it’s timeless. It’s hard to not recommend it. By the way, it’s Doug QUAID, not McQuaid. Maybe you were thinking of Chuck Norris in Lone Wolf McQuaid.

Jed Logan

You’ve got some very good choices here 👍👍

Omar

Training Day for the love of sweet buddah

Mike LL

Clay F, it was Career Opportunities that did if for me also. She was so young and gorgeous in that movie!

Mario

Hot Fuzz please.

Kelly Oehlschlager

If I could vote for Hot Fuzz 10 times, I would. I use quotes from the movie at least once a week.

Silver Machine

I voted Bill & Ted, but I’d gladly settle for Hot Fuzz. Nice to see The Rocketeer getting some support too!

Javier Hernandez

Total Recall and Thomas Crown ... the originals or the remakes? Original Recall is better. Thomas Crown remake is better.

FleetAdmiralJ

I know it won't win, but Tora Tora Tora is one of my faves

Ria Grix

Comeonnnnnnn!!!!! hoTfUzZzz!!!

Justin

I don't think Cassie liked Shaun of the Dead so probably won't like Hot Fuzz ~ I hope Uncle Buck wins ! The Great Outdoors is one of my favorites too , Hopefully it will be on a poll in the future.

Rod Reavern

My top 4 choices for this poll are: Total Recall (1990) The Rocketeer Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure Ready Player One PLEASE DO NOT confuse the awful Total Recall (2012) movie with the classic Total Recall starring Arnold Schwarzenegger from 1990. The Arnie one is the movie we're all voting for, just to be clear.

Matthew Folz

Let's go Rounders. Clap Clap Clap. Let's go Rounders

Jackson Harper

Is Bill & Ted going to lose yet ANOTHER poll? Come on, y’all.

Canadianant

Hot fuzz . The best of the Coronetto trilogy. But how can we not get uncle Buck ?

Joey

This is a tight race!Come on Hot Fuzz

Jacob Wagner

You definitely need to see Hot Fuzz..especially after watching Point Break

JULIE

Interesting selection. Not sure what to choose.

Stephen Malloy

Total Recall is the best movie on the board. The only way it doesn’t win is if the vote is totally rigged like never before. Don’t fall for the fake news. Arnold all the way! 😁😁😁😁

Shawn Kildal

Can't help but notice that the 3 war movies listed here have significantly fewer votes than the others.

Mike Amandes

I think Cassie will like Rocketeer or Thomas Crown Affair the most. Gotta have a good love story in there.

My_Cousin_Mose

Tears of the Sun is by far my favorite movie on the list but its not a happy movie at all. So I'm voting for Uncle Buck, I could go for more happy.

djKENTO

just do both Thomas Crown Affair films with your sister. Trust me…

Chris Retzlaff

I would wait to do Bill and Ted, until you are ready to experience one of the top 5 trilogies of all time and watch all three of those films. Adventure, journey and Face the Music

Don Dunco

Tora, Tora, Tora on December 7 definitely feels absolutely right to me. I agree with Chris Retzlaff.

Clay F

Yeah, currently in last place. Maybe could win in another poll.

Pickupthepieces76

I assumed it would be the 1990 one, but I did check. And yes, the 1990 has been requested 99 times on the Popcorn requests list and is the movie in question as it is the only version in the range picked for the March Madness brackets . The 2012 has been requested once tho. Wonder if that was a mistake by the requester 🤔 But the list also reveals Cassie has already seen the 2012 version. Doubt she remembers much from it, but still.

sarCC

The Rocketeer is a really great, old-fashioned hero flick; it looks really quaint now, but that doesn't mean it's not still entertaining as hell. But I can't be mad if Total Recall or Hot Fuzz win over it: both are hilarious, fun times.

Zachary K. (Verified Swiftie)

Ahh but Jennifer Connelly was great in a movie before the Rocketeer in a great horror movie it has actually two names but I think here in the states it goes by Phenomena or Creepers JC plays a girl who can can talk to insects. Great horror movie.

Zachary K. (Verified Swiftie)

Okay I set the bar extremely low. It would be like comparing a classic Austin-Healey I don't care what year to a Bentley. So Training Day is a Denzel movie and there not enough Denzel Washington movies on this channel.

Dean Holt

Uncle Buck or Hot Fuzz for me as I think we need a comedy movie

Cole Jennett

I love the first 2, absolutely hated the third. In my opinion, Dumb and Dumber To, Bill & Ted 3, and Jay and Silent Bob reboots were all awful. I’d rather remember them in their youth.

Steven M.

Rocketeer ia (was?) a comic book that featured the image of Bettie Page as the female love & protect interest. Bettie who? You do not know what you're missing

Steven M.

Both Thomas Crowns, all three military movies. All five are excellant movies.

Mike LL

It was interesting to see the lead change from Hot Fuzz to Total Recall yesterday. The early lead does not often change in these polls. This was a very good change, well deserved.

Erik Daniel

What are you trying to do to me with this list!? I can't pick from that, most of those are straight gold.

Clay F

Yeah, that is interesting. The 3 war movies are essentially tied for last place.

tc63132

you wont like Tears of the Sun lol

Joe M

Hot Fuzz is clearly winning. Awesome! Cassie, PLEASE watch with Carly.

Rod Reavern

Hot Fuzz is in second; Total Recall is winning the poll. Cassie and Carly have watched Point Break already, but I don't see reactions to Bad Boys 1 & 2. Those movies are referenced in Hot Fuzz, so ideally should be watched first... but Hot Fuzz is an homage/parody of Michael Bay action movies; since they've watched The Rock and Con Air on the channel, they should get it, especially the humour!

Mike Lemon

"...especially the humour!" Of course, they didn't like Shaun of the Dead, so there is a good chance the humor falls flat.

Christian R

Keeping my fingers crossed for Uncle Buck!

pat on

please tell me it's the original total recall

Clay F

Tears of the Sun is next to last place in this poll, so she likely won't be watching Tears of the Sun based on this poll.

T.L.A

Voting for Total Recall just because anything is better then Hot Fuzz. My top 2 would be Training Day( for that gut punch) and Ready Player One because I wear that movie out. Would love to see Searching for Bobby Fisher to make one of these polls. Very underrated movie

Tom Furze

Total Recall Won. Looking forward to it. I would say for those disappointed, maybe suggest your desire in the movie requests #100-250 poll. I think everyone should enjoy Total Recall, though. It is on Prime Video right now.

fire12wife

Uncle Buck is always close, but never quite gets to #1... I'm hoping you'll react to it because it's come so close SO many times!!! It's an awesome movie! Everyone in our family can recite this movie, nearly from start to finish! It's hysterical and I know you'll love it! Great one to bring Carly in for, too... well, any movie is great to have Carly with you! You two are so awesome together! Love you both! XO

Joe Jupiter

I am so looking forward to "Total Recall."

Joe M

Honestly, I’m not disappointed Total Recall won the poll. However I do hope Cassie does get to watch the runners up in the 300’s (Hot Fuzz, Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure, Uncle Buck, Training Day). Please 🙏🏻.

Kyle Prince

I'm surprised she never saw Total Recall or Commando. She also missed out on the other Terminator movies including the third one! I'll tell ya what though, Bill & Ted's and Rocketeer! She should see those with Carlie! SHe'll love it!
