Ho! Hey! you're my sweetheaarrttttssss! Do you know that song?

Hi pop club! Hope you are doing well and had a good weekend! I feel like I am still in catch up mode from the craziness of May but we have had a couple good pool days, made a summer chore chart (dreaming I know) and already gone through way too many boxes of popsicles!

I decided to watch all 4 of the Based on a True Story Poll Winners! I love movies based on true events and I feel like we are still getting a good mix of drama, war, comedy and marky mark ;) I saw the suggestion someone had of doing a poll of the run offs of each poll for the second placers but is that too much truth? I am starting with Deepwater Horizon and will add in the other winners in coming weeks!

Speaking of Polls-with Father's Day coming up, I want to do a dad's poll-but since in the last 4 years I have now watched pretty much all of my dads fav movies-I thought we could do movies that are based on dads? or a strong fatherly message in a movie? do we have any of those left-ala Field of dreams kind of thing? It is also Ben's birthday in June so I want to do another poll of some of his favorite movies I haven't seen yet!

Well since it is a new month-you know what that means?! NEW PICK-A-FLICK draw woohoo! Let's do it tonight! Like 8pm MST? Who is going to be there? Can't wait!

Carly is home and has a glowing tan from Costa Rica and so we can finally finish our POTA journey-I am going to go watch the Tim Burton one for funsies though!

Only two YT edits this week as our amazing editor is on a much deserved vacation!

Anyone have any fun vacation plans this summer? or staycations? Anyone watched anything good lately? We saw Lilo and Stitch and I thought it was great! I also started The Studio and it is a fun, different kind of show! I still want to see Thunderbolts? Do you think I should watch it on the channel? I'm behind on Marvel...

Ok guys, love you like Fleetwood loves Mac!

See you tonight at popfest!

I don’t think even Cassie’s influence will ever get me to watch Shakespeare in Love.

Matthew Brown

I am excited for deepwater horizon Cassie

Cole Jennett

You don’t have any catchup to do in order to watch Thunderbolts. You saw Black Widow, Ant Man 2 and The Falcon & The Winter Soldier, you’re basically all set😊

Alex Gorell

The Judge starring Robert Duvall and Robert Downey Jr. is a good Father’s Day movie about dads. I think you’ll enjoy it.

Henry Graham

Shakespeare in Love? That's a very pleasant surprise. It retrospectively gets a kicking because it beat Saving Private Ryan at the Oscars, but it's a wonderfully witty and clever film, with a sparkling screenplay. Mainstream entertainment done with real feeling and panache.

Katie Sivak

Please watch Mad Love, Stranger Things with Carly

LukeG84

Is Carly going to watch Deepwater Horizon with you? 🙏🏻

Cole Jennett

It’s a great movie. Just because it beat Saving Private Ryan for Best Picture, it gets a bad rap. It’s not the movies fault.

Keith Brown

Father’s Day-“Life With Father” classic for all time!!

Joshua Campbell

Girls, I recommend Mark Wahlberg again in Ted 1&2 & The Other Guys. It's extremely hilarious 😂.

Cole Jennett

Think there was some mention recently of it being in the mix for PPOTM. That’s another avenue for sure!

JONATHAN REDFERN WILLIAMS

Congratulations to Carly!! Happy birthday to Ben!! If it's OK to ask you Cassie...when will there be another package opening? Just curious...

Above Average Dave

Thanks for this, Cassie! Hope you can catch the semblance of a breath in the next couple weeks. Two brief questions if you have time: 1. Speaking of Dads, have you watched all of Ben's favorite movies? 2 (much more self-serving) Did you have a chance to try the Hu chocolates that came with the "Are You Not Entertained?" shirts? If so, do we have a progrnosis? This could determine future treats sent to the Provo metro. Cheers and thank you for making the cardio days (more) bearable!

Katie Sivak

Also start The Karate Kid series

LukeG84

Yes please. Assuming she hasn’t already seen it of course.

Philip Alan

"I'm going to watch the Marky Mark POTA for funzies." EXCELLENT!

Cole Jennett

Up to you really. I’d enjoy your reaction, and it was well received.

Bill Maurer

I missed nominating one you should add to your next " based on a true story poll". Netflix's "Pilecki's Report". Based on Witold Pilecki, Polish Army officer who volunteered to (yes volunteered) to get arrested and sent to Auschwitz to report on what was going on there. Setup a resistance organization within Auschwitz and later escaped after 2 1/2 years in Auschwitz. Then, his story gets really interesting. Looking forward watching your true story movies.

Tim Weaver

Fathers day possibilities Dreamer (2005)with Kurt Russell and Dakota Fanning I am Sam (2001) with Sean Penn and Dakota Fanning Radio (2003)- Ed Harris, Cuba Gooding Jr. And coz u ❤️ Kevin Costner I'll add the father figureish The Guardian (2006) which also stars Ashton Kutcher. Of these if I had to choose just one would be I am Sam based on your reaction to Rain Man

Robert Durant

Cassie and Carly, please please PLEASE put "Patriots Day" on your schedule at some point, you will both love it. Can't wait for KIngdom of the POTA.

Signe Urdskilde

If you are considering dad-themed movies, perhaps incorporate the new film "Bookworm" with Elijah Wood in a poll and, even more importantly, "Captain Fantastic" (with Viggo Mortensen) . If you already have watched the latter, then perhaps consider "Falling" which was Viggo Mortensen's directorial debut and deals with difficult father-son relations in the situation of dementia (Mortensen's father had dementia). Hugs from Signe in Denmark💗

Jacob King

Yay, Shakespeare in Love. Because Sleepers didn’t win the poll I will point out despite it being a great movie and perfect for the channel it’s definitely not “based on a true story” whatever the marketing team claimed.

Joe J

Cassie, "Under Siege" (1992) is Ben's favorite movie...I'm certain you mentioned that on a LIVE or whatnot...😆

Stick Figure Studios

I think of poll of father-themed movies for Father's Day is an excellent idea. Some good father/son movies are BICYCLE THIEVES, PURSUIT OF HAPPYNESS, ROAD TO PERDITION, LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL, A RIVER RUNS THROUGH IT, IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER and my all-time personal favorite film THE TREE OF LIFE.

Stranger2Reality

The Other Guys is absolutely hilarious. That's a great recommendation.

JONATHAN REDFERN WILLIAMS

I can't wait for the reaction to Shakespeare in Love (1998) it does have similar comedic themes to Blackadder, the classic BBC Rowan Atkinson sitcom set in different historical eras. It was co created by Rowan Atkinson and Richard Curtis, who also wrote Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994), Notting Hill (1999) and Love Actually (2003). Blackadder is arguably his greatest work, so if ever you're looking for a new TV series to watch and have endless laughs Cassie, Blackadder is one I'd really recommend!

Gray

My Marky Mark enjoyment normally stops at Boogie Nights and that's more to do with his beautiful singing voice than anything else 😉, i'll do some research before watching his movie pick. Looking forward to the PaF tonight as they have been on great films so far, i'm sure we're gonna get a wacky curveball at some point lol.

LukeG84

It’s never a bad idea to watch something for the channel.

Stranger2Reality

Wait, you want her to watch all of those movies? There's a couple of them that squarely fall into the "so bad it's good" camp, and are really only worthwhile if you want to mock the film or if you need to catch up on the "lore" for some of the later seasons of Cobra Kai. That 3rd movie in particular is especially off the rails 😂

Jon

A movie id love someone to do a reaction to and both you ladies would love is called 'that's what I am'. Definitely worth a watch

Blake Evans

Great lineup this week! Glad you're back and semi rested. As to the Father's Day poll I have to recommend Mel Gibson's directorial Debut Man Without A Face (1993). While not exactly a father film, it deals with a father figure and was the first film I watched after my own fathers funeral. Made me see the world a bit differently now that I'm grown and he's gone. And probably one of the greatest final lines of a movie of all time.

Joe J

I hope it's my wacky curveball, lol.

Antmovies

Did you guys watch MR. MOM? I forgot. Anyhoo, I usually go to the movies. So I've seen Final Reckoning 4 times. I had to find a place for it on my all-time 100 list. I just saw The Last Rodeo yesterday. That's a dad/grandpa movie. It's really good. Maybe you can watch Sinners for Halloween time. There's plenty good out there.

James M

"Life With Father" (1947) A great comedy, although the father is perhaps less than the perfect father. Four Academy nominations and a win for best musical score.

Shad Kanyak

Honestly, my main aversion to seeing it is Gweneth Paltrow. She’s insufferable.

Joe J

Carly's kind of movie for sure, lol.

Chris Walterhouse

Two great Dad movies... "Parenthood" with Steve Martin and all star cast, and "About Time" with Bill Nighy.

Stranger2Reality

Part of the brief period where they were desperately trying to make Estella Warren a thing, between that movie, Kangaroo Jack, and the godawful Driven, with Stallone and Kip Pardue. At least she was in one actually good film with her very small role in 2003's The Cooler.

Ted Whalen

You can never have enough popsicle’s!!! Here is a short list of Fathers Day movie suggestions: Mr.Mom, the original Father of the Bride (I believe you have seen the re-make with Steve Martin), The Judge (Robert Downey Jr and Robert Duvall), I Am Sam, The Father, Hanging Up (Diane Keaton, Meg Ryan, Lisa Kudrow and Walter Matthau).

Gray

you've intrigued me with this Jonathan, I do love Blackadder

Adam Doyle

For Father's Day, I know you mentioned that you had seen Father Of The Bride, but you didn't think you had seen the sequel Father Of The Bride part 2, it is very heart warming and funny. Other good Father's Day movies are: Big Fish (fantasy/com/dram), Kramer vs. Kramer (drama), City Slickers(com), Paper Moon (modern classic 1973, but shot in Black & White), and A Goofy Movie (trust me)

James M

So many fantastic actual Shakespeare stories filmed like Much Ado About Nothing and yet this Shakespeare mashup of a romcom keeps popping up. Not my thing.

Graeme Edgeler

You've already seen a lot of movies about Dad's I would have suggested, but one of the best Dads in film is the Dad from MY NEIGHBOR TOTORO Totoro, so I'll suggest that.Another possibility is BOYZ IN THE HOOD.

Philip Alan

@Katie - yes. Just the first two. And maybe only the first season of Cobra Kai. I couldn't get passed the horrible acting for the rest of the series. (but I did love all the cameos).

Bill W

Father's Day movie: The Cowboys (1972) John Wayne plays father figure/trail boss to a dozen youngsters. One of his best films.

Shad Kanyak

Maybe Joss Whedon’s version of Much Ado About Nothing? Has a couple Firefly/Serenity cast members.

Katie Sivak

I think if you’re gonna start cobra Kai kinda gotta watch the whole series to really appreciate how it pays off. I feel like Carly and Cassie would like Stranger Things more but I do feel like everybody should at least see the first karate kid because it’s just such a classic and I think Cassie would love it

Anthony Carlson

Go see Mission Impossible The Final Reckoning when you can (like others said who saw it too)! A good finale to the franchise! As for Father Day’s, I will actually be on a work trip to a Tigers game (and another one on the same week) so that will be fun. On top of that, I will go to one on Sunday so that’s would be a grand total of 3 games. For my dad, Cat’s in the Cradle by Harry Chapin (1974). Great song.

Cole Jennett

And About Time is possibly her favourite movie ever

Jake McNulty

Films for Fathers Day: "Father of the Bride" (1950) "Paper Moon" (1973) "Kramer vs. Kramer" (1979) "Something Wicked This Way Comes" (1983) "Vice Versa" (1988) "In the Name of the Father" (1993) "Fly Away Home" (1996) "Road to Perdition" (2002) "Finding Nemo" (2003) "Jersey Girl" (2004) "Southpaw" (2015) "Toni Erdmann" (2016) "The Father" (2020) "Fatherhood" (2021) "Aftersun" (2022) "Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio" (2022) "The Son" (2022)

Joe J

"Shakespeare in Love".... yeah let me run and mark that on my calendar before I forget, lol.

Graeme Edgeler

Oh, and THE CASTLE. An amazing Dad in The Castle. Two Dads, really, who bond over being proud Dads.

Collar City Guy

Perfect choice and surely a classic, but it would probably get viewed by just you, me and James!

Cole Jennett

She has seen Pursuit of Happyness and Life is Beautiful already.

Larry Darrell

2 Kevin Costner films for Father’s Day… A Perfect World (1993), directed by and co-starring Clint Eastwood. & The War (1994), also starring Elijah Wood.

Bill W

Cassie, you need to know some things about Fleetwood Mac.

K, Zachary

Best Fleetwood Mac Song? All though I am partial to Seven Wonders because it was in American Horror Story: Coven. Gypsy is there best song. Deepwater Horizon? I was part of the cleanup of that. Shakespeare In Love? So romantic. I hated that movie when it came out but now I love it. That will be one we watch together cuddled up in our bedroom that we share. Okay I have said way too much Son of a. Yes Shakespeare In Love is very romantic. The latest Planet Of The Apes is not as good as Ceaser ones. But still very good. So I learned they are doing another Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. Written by Quentin Tarantino with Elizabeth Debicki playing Sharon Tate what? I guess Debra Tate ( Sharon's sister) approved of the script. So thats the only thing that counts. Caitlin Clark = 🫶 pray that she comes back next week. Indiana needs her to come back there whole economy depends on her.

Dan M

I have two awesome suggestions for a Father’s Day Poll - Mrs. Doubtfire (1993) with Robin Williams and Sally Field , and Mr. Mom (1983) with Michael Keaton and Teri Garr. Both are fantastic, heartwarming comedies that I think both you and Carly would love.

Uncle Phoenix

Best Father's Day Film is “City Slickers” (1991).

keoma songs

Forgot about the Pick-Flick until I saw it mentioned! Just managed to submit. Might not be a bad idea to promote it more during the month. The new confirmation feature is very much appreciated.

Robert Jewell

The best films I can think of about fatherhood are THE KID (1921) by Charlie Chaplin, which might be your first silent film, but trust me it is wonderful, TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD (1962), have you already seen that? or MRS. DOUBTFIRE, which you also may have seen already as well. But just some thoughts.

Clarence Newman

So many questions, but I will do my best.... Run off poll on True Events when you're watching 4 of them anyway? Hail naaah! We need a 60s poll instead. Or a McQueen/Newman poll from the 60s with Towering Inferno and Papillon thrown in from the 70s. Otherwise we'll be true-eventing till August. Father's Day movie? You CANNOT do better than The Champ with Jon Voight and Ricky Schroder. Father and son bonding at its finest. Bring the economy box of Kleenex. More Marvel on the channel? Please no. As for Ben's birthday, there's only one choice and that's Marky Mark's Four Brothers (2005). It's a really good film anyway, but it also stars SOFIA VERGARA, who, as you well know, is number one on Ben's laminated celebrity list. Don't be a mean wifey now.

Dan M

I think for now the 4 winners of the Based on a True Story is enough. Maybe save the 2nd place poll for later in the year. There’s only so much “based on a true story” I can handle at one time, especially when the stories are heartbreaking and gut wrenching.

Cole Jennett

Agreed on Shakespeare in Love, and that Sleepers is a great movie, but that seems like an awfully strong stance considering the author wrote the movie based on his own experiences. Movies are often fictionalized. That’s why it’s just “based” on a true story. Braveheart was also based on a true story, and changes were obviously made.🤷‍♂️

Bryan David

"The best 'Dad' movies for me are usually about guys who are forced to become good fathers through divorce (I'm not advocating it; I just think there's an inherent drama in these stories). A few of my favorites are 'Kramer vs. Kramer', 'Marriage Story', and 'Boyhood'.

Adam Doyle

Both good choices, but she has seen Mrs. Doubtfire.

Popcorn In Bed

i’ve seen boyhood, made me cry and want to be better- i’ll put the others on the poll.

Adam Doyle

Great pick, I was surprised that wasn't already watched!

Cole Jennett

She talked about doing a Ben poll for his birthday this month in this update

Dan M

I had a summer chore chart already made back in March, and I’m already way behind because of too many rainy weekends, and a pool liner that has mysteriously been sabotaged with 4 holes 😣.

Popcorn In Bed

dangit, i forgot a reminder in last weeks post! the one you just submitted will count on next months drawing though for sure!

Cole Jennett

There’s no chance that Carly would be able to handle Stranger Things. Which is unfortunate.

A Very SAXY Century

Hmmm !! For Father's Day, how about "The Godfather"? Too much, perhaps "Kramer vs Kramer". Perhaps some Henry Fonda movies like "On Golden Pond" (great daughter-father relationship, it includes Jane Fonda and Katherine Hepburn) or "Yours, Mine and Ours" (1968) with Fonda and Lucille Ball ; hilarious fun. Or on a more dramatic tone, a movie about a domineering father in baseball life: "Fear Strikes Out" (1957) with Anthony Perkins and Karl Malden (also true life story).

Popcorn In Bed

i have seen mrs doubtfire many times but not mr. mom!!

Shawn Kildal

"All 4 movies" Does that include The Pianist?

Uncle Phoenix

“About a Boy” (2002) is kind of like that; and I always thought that it was Hugh Grants best work.

Dan M

Welcome home Carly!! I hope you had a blast down in Costa Rica! We missed you! Can’t wait to see you for Kingdom of the POTA!

Cole Jennett

We are usually on the same page, Shad. If you can get past your aversion, I think you will find it more than worth your time. It’s truly excellent.

Uncle Phoenix

It’s cute, funny, and surprisingly tender.

Popcorn In Bed

i loove a goofy movie, one of my disneys! i have a reaction to big fish’. i will check out the others, thank you!

LukeG84

For the possible Father’s Day poll I recommend Instant Family (2018) starring Mark Wahlberg and Rose Byrne. According to Popcorn Requests you and Carly haven’t seen it, but it’s in your collection. While it’s not solely dad orientated, it’s a fantastic family movie you’d both love.

Eric C.

Great movie about fatherhood: Paper Moon.

Mark White

Hi Cassie, How is your Son doing? Last we heard you said he had not been well! I do hope everything has sorted out ok?! Great line up as ever. SiL is such a natural fit for you. I’m sure you will enjoy it. I really looking forward to the true events movies. Deepwater Horizon is a good start, but oh how do I wish you were watching “The Insider” , with Pacino and Russel Crowe, I can’t recommend it enough. Also “Indictment The McMartin trial” I think you will really appreciate. As for Father’s day movies, you have watched some good ones already like “Field of dreams”, but there is a comedy from 1997 called “Father’s Day” which has Robin Williams and Billy Crystal in it. As for Holidays, I’ve just had mine. A family and friends trip to North Wales. I managed to get in a couple of days climbing around in the mountains. I can’t explain the relief I felt for being in that moment in the mountains, Just to get away from all the confusion and clutter in my mind. I would be up for a “Thunderbolts” reaction, I still haven’t seen it, but it’s the only Marvel Movie to get my attention for years, as it looks quite good. Take care Cassie You are the Best❤️

Shawn Kildal

Kramer vs Kramer for Father's day

Dan M

DOH! My bad. Okay, replace Mrs. Doubtfire with Three Men and a Little Lady. You loved the original. I think you’ll love the sequel just as much.

Mark White

Cassie “A perfect World” is a perfect pick for you on Father’s Day!

bgb1975 (Brian)

I defy anyone to come up with a better father's message movie than "A Perfect World". Kevin Costner, Cassie! You know you want it! :)

Ray Pennisi

I would love to see you react to more Coen brothers films, including Miller's Crossing and their first one, Blood Simple.

The Neo/Fate show

I’ve never heard fun and Tim burtons apes movie used together

Jake McNulty

I think "The Godfather" is already on the channel. Ditto "The Godfather Part II".

Win

For Father’s Day sly Stallone’s over the top

Jake McNulty

"The Jud"? Don't you mean "The Kid"?

Mark White

I would break the bank to see Blackadder goes forth on PiB!!😆

Cole Jennett

“The War” with Costner and Elijah Wood may fit the bill here too.

bgb1975 (Brian)

Never seen that one. I'll have to check it out.

keoma songs

It's one of the best parts of being a qualifying member of the Patreon, it might be worth it's own post as reminder for submission deadlines. Thank you for responding, I appreciate it.

Cole Jennett

It didn’t win any of the four polls, so I’d guess no.

BriGuy

Papa-corn in Bed recommendation for Father's Day month (in keeping with your provision of being ABOUT a dad, as opposed to it being a fav OF a dad): "The Mask of Zorro" (1998) with Anthony Hopkins, Antonio Banderas, and Catherine Zeta-Jones (it's the movie that put her on the map). Hopkins is SO touching as a father who's been cruelly separated from his daughter. But be sure you don't confuse it with 2005's "The Legend of Zorro" -- that's the sequel which also features Banderas and Zeta-Jones, but not Hopkins. You must watch the MASK of Zorro first. If you don't love it, I'll eat a bug.

Mark White

Is it?! I mean yes! … I remember that too😉😆 Under Siege, “ I also cook!”

Bryan David

Great film! Cassie may like the idea of a real father and daughter(Ryan & Tatum O’Neill) playing the leads. Plus, it’s just a charming film.

Jake McNulty

How about "Eraserhead" for Father's Day?

JONATHAN REDFERN WILLIAMS

Thanks, no problem if it doesn't happen at the end of the month. I've still got quite a lot more bags of Mini Eggs Orange, they don't expire until July 31st!

FranciscoGios

Can't wait for Deepwater Horizon!! It's a good one!

Eric C.

I'm so dense, I wasn't even thinking about that aspect of it, just the characters. But yes! The actors and the characters are father/daughter!

Cole Jennett

I didn’t see this comment when I replied to someone else above. The War is a good option, but I think it’s pretty obscure. Probably wouldn’t get many votes.

TheSingulatarian

Jeez the people in Fleetwood Mac all hated each other by the end.

Brian McGovern

Like Fleetwood loves Mac? If you really love your members, that is not a group I would be measuring your love for US. 🤣

Richard Maurer

Didn’t she see the first one already?

TheSingulatarian

"Mr. Brooks" Hey, it has father daughter stuff in it.

Shawn Kildal

Cassie said she forgot to include it in the polls and that she was just probably going to watch it anyway.

Robert Jewell

Yes, I did. Thanksfor pointing out my error. Glaucoma sucks.

Joe J

How did Cool Hand Luke not make the polls? It is based on the true story of a man who ate 50 eggs, lol.

Cole Jennett

I know, but if it included it, I’m sure she would have said 5 movies😉

Joe “Retroclassic” Pinney

That’s an excellent choice! What better movie for Father’s Day than a story of a man struggling to raise his young son in the wake of an unexpected divorce? Fantastic performances by Dustin Hoffman and Meryl Streep!

Joe J

Mick Fleetwood does love Big Macs, lol.

Mark White

There’s a dysfunctional group if ever there was one! It didn’t help there were all high as a kite and sleeping around with each other behind there backs!

Vincent Vega

Fantastic! Been waiting patiently for BHC to get uploaded to YT. Can't wait to see your reaction to my favourite childhood film which incidentally, is the same age as I am! Love Eddie Murphy, I hope you react to more of his films in future. Especially, if you've never seen it, The Nutty Professor, where Murphy plays most of the cast!

Richard Maurer

Okay let’s go through this . 4 “based on” movies is more than enough. +1 for Thunderbolts, it’s pretty good. For Father’s Day - Son of Godzilla (what else?). ;-) Road Warrior soon? I hope so.

JONATHAN REDFERN WILLIAMS

One Father's Day suggestion, Billy Elliot (2001), a British film that launched the acting career of Jamie Bell. Elton John loved the film so much and was so moved to tears with the Father/son storyline that he actually financed and created the stage musical of Billy Elliot that played in both London and USA Broadway.

Joe J

Bro, lol.

Joe “Retroclassic” Pinney

Oh boy, yeah! Great film for Father’s Day! Also an earlier John Wayne film — RED RIVER (1948). Wayne’s character is very much a father figure to Montgomery Clift’s character.

JONATHAN REDFERN WILLIAMS

My late father really loved Shakespeare in Love (1998), he even called it one of the greatest movies ever made. I think that's a slight over praise but he had good taste in movies, I remember watching other truly great films like The Godfather (1972) with him. RIP Dad!

Joe J

Unhappiness makes for some great songs.

Bill W

I heard he played drums for Mac Tonight.

Joe “Retroclassic” Pinney

I’m curious about the war movie you’re seeing. I don’t see any listed so I’m guessing it’s probably for later in the month in preparation for July 4th. (Maybe Tom Cruise in Oliver Stone’s BORN ON THE FOURTH OF JULY (1989)? It would be a magnificent pick, and it’s one of Tom’s best performances ever.)

Larry Darrell

Doesn’t make it any less of a good film that should be watched, reaction or not. If you don’t think it’s poll worthy, then I recommend Cassie or anyone else, watch The War (1994) on your free time. It’s a great film for Father’s Day or any day.

Jacob King

It’s based on a novel. The author claims that some of the events happened but has never given any evidence and no journalist has ever verified it. All of the really horrific details are probably real - there are many similar cases all over the world (anywhere adults are allowed to lock children up) but that’s not the story of the movie (the court case). Shakespeare In Love is a good comparison, nearly all the named characters in it are real people, it’s a real play, a real time and place, but the story (the romance) is fictional.

thebeefmaster

For Father's Day: Life with Father (1947) A straitlaced turn-of-the-century father presides over a family of boys and the mother who really rules the roost.

Mike Lemon

I can't believe nobody mentioned the best movie about a father and his sons ever made- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990). Okay, that may be exaggerating a bit, but it is one of my favorite movies (I've watched it over 100 times) and it really is a touching movie about a father and his sons.

Shehab Dawoud

Eraserhead (1977). We need David Lynch on here Boyz N The Hood (1991) A Bronx Tale (1993) Magnolia (1999) Not all of them are about fathers but some of them feature some of my favorite on-screen fathers.

thebeefmaster

For Father's Day: Leave No Trace (2018) A father and his seventeen-year-old daughter are living an ideal existence in a vast urban park in Portland, Oregon when a small mistake derails their lives forever.

MikeLL

Sorry, the war movie will be Patton, the poll winner. That will be a great watch.

Mike Lemon

"Anyone watched anything good lately?" I watched The Ugly Stepsister (2025). It's pretty good and one I would recommend for October, but Cassie may want to run it through VidAngel. There is one sex scene that went a bit far unnecessarily in my opinion that would likely put it on the 'no' list.

thebeefmaster

For Father's Day: Father Goose (1964) During World War II, a man persuaded to live on an isolated island and spot aircraft finds himself responsible for a teacher and several students, all female.

MikeLL

I like the Red River idea!

Joe “Retroclassic” Pinney

Ah, okay! Wow, that’s an awesome film, definitely a favorite of mine! I’m looking forward to seeing her reaction to that one for sure!

Ray Pennisi

Has anyone suggested you watch seasons one and two of Andor?

The Star Treker (aka Michael)

I recently watched the live-action Lilo & Stitch and honestly? I loved it. Way more than the animated one, at least for me. It hit harder, felt warmer, and just worked. And I recently watched Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning! I absolutely loved it! The best movie of the summer so far! Yes you have to watch Thunderbolts on your channel—I'd love to see your reaction. And seriously, don't skip the post-credits scene. It's really important. I absolutely loved that movie. Easily one of the best Marvel/MCU films we've had in a long time. The whole thing had this perfect mix of fun, sharp writing, and emotional depth. Some of it was actually funny, had real heart. Totally didn't expect that, but I appreciated it. I'm also counting down to the next MCU film in July—The Fantastic Four: First Steps—right after James Gunn's Superman. If you haven't watched the trailers yet, seriously check them out. They're promising. Also, I'm so hyped you're finally reacting to Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes! I've been waiting on that one forever. Enjoyed your Batman Returns reaction. Still waiting for that 5th Planet of the Apes sequel to get a release date and title, though. As for summer plans, I'm not doing a big vacation or anything, but I am heading to a con—Fanboy Expo in Knoxville, Tennessee on July 11th (same weekend of James Gunn's Superman comes out)! It's kind of like Comic Con in San Diego and New York and pretty close to where I live. I'm pumped to meet some of the Smallville and Supergirl cast—Helen Slater, Laura Vandervoort, Tom Welling, Erica Durance—and Brandon Routh from Superman Returns, DC's Legends of Tomorrow, and Arrow. Oh, and Kate Mulgrew (Kathryn Janeway) from Star Trek: Voyager and Wil Wheaton (Wesley Crusher) from Star Trek: The Next Generation—I know you've seen him in your TNG reactions, Lol. Anyway, that's what my summer's looking like. Can't wait to see more your reactions.

MikeLL

Thanks, Cole, I was going to look up if she had seen all the movies she should see to be up to speed with Thunderbolts, but you saved me the work. I thought she had, and she has. Thunderbolts is very good, and would make a good reaction.

My_Cousin_Mose

Ho Hey! By the Lumineers. I used to love that song. I should be there tonight, talk to ya then!

Henry Graham

This is a great shout. Cassie would love A Perfect World, one of Costner's best performances.

Brent Petty

Father's Day Dad movie: Good 80s comedy Mr. Mom w/ Michael Keaton, Teri Garr (Inga from Young Frankenstein), and Christopher Lloyd.

Cole Jennett

I’d be happy to see it on the poll. I just don’t think it will do well because most people I know have never even heard of it. It’s definitely worthy of a watch.

Brent Petty

If you run into Allison Mack of Smallville fame at the Expo, run for your life. She's a psychopath.

Clay F

Wow – what a great week. I will join the popfest tonight at 8 pm MST. Father’s Day movies: Aftersun (2022). Paul Mescal Road to Perdition (2002). Tom Hanks Captain Fantastic (2016). Viggo Mortenson Mr. Mom (1983). Michael Keaton Paper Moon (1973). Ryan O’Neil The Road (2009). Viggo Mortenson Boyz n the Hood (1991). Laurence Fishburne King Richard (2021). Will Smith He Got Game (1998). Denzel Washington The Descendants (2011). George Clooney

Clay F

Yes, at least a couple of us have.

Clay F

Gets great reviews

Clay F

BORN ON THE FOURTH OF JULY (1989) would be great in addition to Patton the poll winner.

Larry Darrell

Oooohhh… Something Wicked This Way Comes (1983). Very Good Suggestion. +1

Clay F

She didn't say either way. I hope when she thinks about it, she decides to react to THE PIANIST.

Larry Darrell

“Cat’s in the Cradle”… instant tears.

Stephen Dias

I've said it before, but my son and I saw "Finding Nemo" (which, I know she's seen) on Father's Day; it's a great movie for Father's Day. My dad and I saw "Frequency" (which she's also seen) on Father's Day; it's also a great Father's Day movie. I plan to revisit both of those movies. Alas, it looks like Cassie has already seen my favorite movies with strong father/son story lines.

Clay F

+1 for Mr. Mom (1983)

Clay F

Great list

Clay F

I loved Gweneth Paltrow back then.

Katie Jackson

Definitely plan on being there tonight. A few recommendations for a Father's Day Poll: *Father Of The Bride Part 2 (1995) *Three Men and a Little Lady (1990) *Trouble With The Curve (2012) *Tyler Perry's Daddy's Little Girls (2007)

Walter

Father Goose is an excellent movie - great suggestion!

Walter

My Father's Day suggestion is MR. MOM with a young Michael Keaton and Terri Garr (from Young Frankenstein). Great movie!

Mike Lemon

Allison Mack??? Is that the cult person? Looking... Yep, three years in prison.

Effy

I saw In the Name of the Father mentioned already, but came here to recommend. Daniel Day Lewis, based on a true story, truly excellent and one of my favorites. The father/son relationship is very powerful. The director, Jim Sheridan, is a father himself and made a movie based on his family and co-wrote it with his two daughters. it’s called In America and I would also recommend it. More of a feel good movie. … About a Boy with Hugh Grant where he attempts to be a father figure is charming, and Ordinary People with Donald Sutherland as the father and Mary Tyler Moore as the mother is a classic and winner of best picture in 1981.

thebeefmaster

For Father's Day: Gifted (2017) What makes a father? This is a heartwarming (and also heartbreaking) film about a gifted child, whose adoptive uncle just wants her to live a normal life, despite her mathematical genius.

The Star Treker (aka Michael)

Honestly, I actually met Allison Mack (Chloe from Smallville) years before I ever heard about her arrest and all the messed-up stuff she got involved in. I really don't think it's fair to just label her a psychopath—we don't know the whole story, and it's way more complicated than that. To be real, I'm not sure why you even brought this up. It feels pretty out of place and honestly kind of rude. This isn't the right time or space for that kind of conversation. As for Chloe, I was never a huge fan. She was interesting at first, but after a while, it felt like the show leaned on her character too much. She wasn't even part of the original Superman story, so it bugged me that she stuck around longer than Lana or Pete, who were actually Clark's core friends. What I'm really excited about is meeting Helen Slater, Laura Vandervoort, Tom Welling, and Erica Durance at Fanboy Expo. They were all awesome in both Smallville and Supergirl, and I believe that Allison Mack isn't even allowed at cons anymore. Honestly, finding out about everything that happened with her really shook me, and I'd rather not get into it. Let's just move on.

thebeefmaster

For Father's Day: To Kill a Mockingbird (1962) One of the smartest and wisest literary dads of all time is Atticus Finch, from To Kill a Mockingbird.

Ed Ward

Road to Perdution

Bill Maurer

One of the Duke's best acting performance in his career

Mike Redford

Like fleetwood loves mac lol. Crazy as they are, they're one of my all timers. Glad Carly had a great time in Costa Rica. For the father's day poll, I'd recommend a Gene Hackman flick, "Target" (1985). A spy thriller with a young Matt Dillon as the son.

Grad

The Stepfather (1987)

Just React!

Deepwater horizon is so good!

Old As Dirt Bert

Along that line, Steamboat Bill, Jr. starring Buster Keaton is a good (and silent) film showing a father/son reconnection after years apart. It has action, romance, real stunts, and heroics.

Happy Hanukkah

I wouldn't mind a reaction to a Helen Slater film, though I'll acknowledge none of those I've seen is particularly memorable.

Happy Hanukkah

Allison Mack? Isn't that the new Captain America? :-P

Happy Hanukkah

What? May is over? Well then. It is June 2025, and I hereby advocate for *that* version of The Island of Dr. Moreau (1996). [#006]

David Matthews

Agree with Mockingbird and Atticus Finch (1962). Also "The Judge" is good, Robert DuVal is the father, the IronMan guy is the son (2014). I'd say "The Wrestler" too - but I wouldn't watch the reaction, even though it was a great movie - I can't without breaking down to pieces (2008). Finally, theres a great Russel Crowe movie about a father, named "The Water Diviner" which has everything - suspense, war, love, loss, hope - it's all there (2014).

Bill W

I can't believe that hasn't been done yet on this channel.

David Matthews

They did the song in Petes Dragon too. Love that song. Great band.

The Star Treker (aka Michael)

No, totally different people. Anthony Mackie is the Black actor who plays Sam Wilson—he took up the mantle of Captain America after Steve Rogers stepped down. Allison Mack is a white actress, completely unrelated, well known for playing Chloe Sullivan on Smallville. She had short blonde hair and was one of Clark's early friends on the show.

thebeefmaster

For Father's Day: Fly Away Home (1996) Amy moves to Ontario to live with her father after the death of her mother. Her father, an aviation expert, helps Amy lead a flock of orphaned geese south for the winters.

Joel Wayne

For Father's Day movies.........We Bought a Zoo - 2011 - Matt Damon; The Judge - 2014 -Robert Downey Jr & Robert Duvall

Cole Jennett

She has seen We Bought a Zoo, but I’m fully on board for The Judge

thebeefmaster

For Father's Day: The In-Laws (1979) On the eve of their children's marriage, NYC in-laws Sheldon Kornpett and Vince Ricardo embark on a series of misadventures.

2-Can

Thumbs-down to a runner-up poll of the ‘based on’ movies if it includes Thin Red Line - which is NOT based on a true story. Yes, WWII happened, but not any of the people or battles it depicts actually existed. There are always opportunities or reasons to watch fiction, but with this poll being around Memorial Day, we should stick to real people and events (despite any shortcuts taken by more-qualified movies). A Bronx Tale for the Fathers Day poll (but there are a lot of good suggestions down below).

thebeefmaster

For Father's Day: Fiddler on the Roof (1971) In pre-revolutionary Russia, a Jewish peasant with traditional values contends with marrying off three of his daughters with modern romantic ideals.

Mike Lemon

Hmm... "update a dew dah"??? I'm pretty sure that is a coded message that Song of the South (1946), the movie Zip-a-dee-doo-dah is from, is coming to the channel soon. Finally, Br'er Rabbit will be introduced to new generations.

Joe J

She has seen To Kill a Mockingbird before the channel. Always check her Letterbox.

Joel Wayne

One of the worst movies I've ever seen....imo

Bill W

Trying to pick a John Wayne western that leans a little more wholesome for Cassie. So far all she's had was The Searchers and she seems not too anxious to watch another one although I think someone got her to commit to Liberty Valance...and he's kind of a bastard in that one too.

Bill W

Nice one!!!

thebeefmaster

For Father's Day: Despicable Me (2010) Gru, a criminal mastermind, adopts three orphans. His life takes an unexpected turn when the little girls see the evildoer as their potential father.

TheSingulatarian

I'm pretty sure the one that is on Amazon is the TV cut.

Old As Dirt Bert

Don't count on that. It's hardly available and gets blocked frequently. A substantial number of people who object to it have only heard about it but never seen it. Those of us who have seen it know the rich white kid has a broken family, the poor black families have solid families, the poor white kids are bullies, the wise old black man tells tales that hint at good life clues without being preachy or directive, and that some times it takes a tragedy to get people to snap to what and who's truly important. Yes, there's stereotypes of its production era and avoidance of historic issues like slavery, but it's a period piece about relationships and experiences with storytelling as contributing lessons.

The Star Treker (aka Michael)

Yeah Helen Slater does have her own Supergirl film but she also appeared in Smallville and the Supergirl TV series.

Bill W

Joe I'm glad she has seen it. I didn't bother to check Letterboxd for that one because it doesn't seem like something she would have watched on her own.

Rose

Spending time with girlfriends at Catalina Island 🏝️ My boss’s boss is currently working in Costa Rica. I’m sure Carly is glowing! Father’s Day: “Yours, Mine and Ours” (1968) with Henry Fonda & Lucille Ball.

Bill W

Maybe after 2 more courtroom polls or 3 more St. Patrick's days we'll get to see In the Name of the Father.

Cole Jennett

I’d always thought she had seen it already, but her liking your post makes me think she hasn’t. Awesome!

TheSingulatarian

"The Road" good choice. It does not get mentioned much in reactor circles. I thought the film was better than the book as the book becomes a bit repetitive.

Bill W

Martin Mull!!! RIP.

Happy Hanukkah

Joel, I can't in good conscience contradict you. :-)

thebeefmaster

For Father's Day: The Pursuit of Happyness (2006) A struggling salesman takes custody of his son as he's poised to begin a life-changing professional career.

Happy Hanukkah

I'm not sure what the TV cut is. Timewise, the Amazon version is compatible with the theatrical version (and slightly shorter than the director's cut). And anyhow, no possible cut could diminish the glory of this movie!!! :-)

David Patterson

'Three Men and a Little Lady' for Father's Day

Happy Hanukkah

You'll have to excuse me; I have trouble telling you biped simians apart.

thebeefmaster

Of all of the Father's Day recommendations that I have posted, this is #1 on my list. Dangal (2016) Mahavir Singh Phogat, a former wrestler, decides to fulfill his dream of winning a gold medal for his country by training his daughters for the Commonwealth Games despite the existing social stigmas.

David Patterson

'Son of Godzilla' (1967) for Father's Day

Happy Hanukkah

Father's Day movie: Interstellar (2014)! (Which has been seen/not-seen.)

Mojo One Thousand

There are already plenty of good father based movies suggested, but I throw one in that isn't immediately obvious. Mainly because it was a favourite of my nephews when they were younger, and still is as they have gotten older. I have suggested this before, as I would want Cassie to share it with her kids (if they haven't already seen it). It is "Real Steel" (2011) with Hugh Jackman and Evangaline Lily. Little bit Sci-fi, a little bit sports, but in the end a story of relationships and redemption.

Happy Hanukkah

If Interstellar is not included, I shall demand the poll consist of: La passion Beatrice (1987) An Awfully Big Adventure (1995) The War Zone (1999)

thebeefmaster

For Father's Day: Captain Fantastic (2016) After living in total isolation in rural Washington for over a decade, survivalist Ben Cash and his six children are forced to return to society when his wife suddenly dies. Naturally, this proves to be a challenge for his sheltered kids, and Ben has to reconsider his parenting methods.

Joe J

8 minutes late now, lol.

I think you can make a case for The Aristocats for Father's Day. A bit of a stretch though.

DJDrewBeatz

The Iron Claw- I guess a movie that shows a good father and a bad father

David Patterson

'A Simple Twist of Fate' with Steve Martin in a non-comedic role-for Father's Day.

Dan M

That puts Rocky to shame

Dan M

Thought I’d be the only one to suggest that movie.

The Star Treker (aka Michael)

It's all good, I get it. Easy mistake—Allison Mack and Anthony Mackie do have the same initials: A.M. Kind of funny when you think about it. Lol, ironic for sure.

Bill W

She's seen it.

Bill W

I'm very surprised she hasn't seen those first two. I had to check twice. 🤣

Katie Jackson

I know she hadn't seen Three Men and a Little Lady but i had to check her zpIB request page and her letterbox on Father of the bride part 2

Bill W

Anthony Mackie, Allison Mack, Fleetwood Mac, Mack the Knife..... whatever it takes.

thebeefmaster

It is not on the YouTube video page. Did she watch it off channel?

Bill W

But Rocky ate 'em every day. Or at least it was implied.

Bill W

More Marky Mark on the channel? Please no.

Bill W

LOVE City Slickers, but it's not really about fatherhood. Yes, 2 of the 3 leads are fathers, but....

Bill W

I've tried recommending ITNOTFather year after year for St. Patrick's day, courtroom polls, based on true events polls, foreign movie polls. I think she may have even done a Daniel Day Lewis Poll. I don't have the heart to watch it lose a Father's day poll. 🤣

Shawn Kildal

Probably before she even started the channel. She has kids, so most likely the popular kids movies have been seen

Shawn Kildal

Carly & Cassie have mentioned they have seen Interstellar. I don't think Carly liked it as she would only say it was too long and Cassie said she fell asleep off and on during it

Clarence Newman

I don’t disagree with that, Bill, but Four Brothers in regard to Ben is all about Sofia. Marky Mark also happens to be there.

Shawn Kildal

At the top of her Patreon page you should see Patreon FAQ's. Hit the "show more" button on that column

Clarence Newman

Hey, I watched that last night! Cassie and Carly would love it.

Justin

The Judge with Robert Downey jr and Robert Duvall! Has a very strong fatherly message and some fantastic acting!

Happy Hanukkah

Or The Aristocrats, about the "heights" a father inspires his family to. A heck of a stretch, though.

Happy Hanukkah

The topic repeatedly comes up. Last I recall, Cassie's position was that since she didn't truly watch the movie at the time, she was open to reacting to it.

Happy Hanukkah

Trois hommes et un couffin (1985)! :-)

Jenny_M

Definitely worth watching Thunderbolts on the channel, I think! It's the best Marvel I've seen in a while.

Richard Maurer

I do hate censorship of art for any reason. And this is one of those ‘people had a different morality and parameters of what was wrong in the past, therefore we need to bury it, because people are too stupid to understand context’ things. While there are many things wrong with many movies, series, books, music, etc. of the past pointing out the “bad” parts is enough, censorship is unacceptable.

YodatheHobbit

Yes, please watch Thunderbolts* on the channel! Since it's not on Disney plus yet, you have a bit of time to catch up with those worth watching. GOG Vol 3(Gotta complete the trilogy! And it's a very good film if you've yet to have seen it. The Marvels, and Captain America 4 (I mean, you've got to, it's Harrison!) I know a lot of people like to poo poo on The Marvels, but I actually found it a lot of fun, with the additions of Monica Rambeau from WandaVision and young Ms Marvel (Kamala Khan), I personally think YOU specifically will enjoy it. It's very much a girls friendship chick flick kind of Marvel film. And Sam Jackson, Nick Fury also is back!

Mike Lemon

@Ruchard- What is even worse is people being wrong about why they are mad- see "tar baby" for an example.

Richard Maurer

Mike - that is open to debate but I can see why that would be unacceptable to some people. People can disagree on what is bad or not and both have valid arguments. My points is censorship isn’t the answer.

Mike Lemon

Oh, and agreed that censorship isn't the answer.

Richard Maurer

The hate for The Marvels was all internet driven. Funny how it did so poorly in the theater but so many gave it bad reviews. Almost like they didn’t actually watch it for themselves and just took the word of their favorite YT grift critic like a bunch of sheep.

Richard Maurer

Mike - that’s a technicality. Even if it’s not a slur in the context of the story, racists took the term and made it a slur. And people do find it offensive, because of that you can’t invalidate their feelings based on a technicality.

Uncle Phoenix

Yes, but all three leads Had Fathers and we, the audience, get to see generational fatherhood.

Bill W

Go to Letterboxd.com and search Cassie Popcorn. Under the 'Films' tab is everything she has seen both on and off the channel.

Marco

for fathers day: "Dad" with Jack Lemmon and Ted Danson (1989)

K, Zachary

We just bought our tickets for Materialists. So Romantic. So I am still crossing my fingers about that you will automatically watch The Pianist. I once wrote a paper in college about a Schizophrenic society using The Pianist as the basis. There are little bits of light that shine through . https://youtu.be/SSmFSjGAcQA?si=hAg24SG4ZdAhINty

Stephen Dias

I actually own "Shakespeare in Wuv" and look forward to the reaction.

Mike Lemon

Yes, how dare fans have opinions! The gall.

Mike Lemon

"racists took the term and made it a slur." Was it racists or was it the perpetually offended and/or race hustlers? I tend to see these kinds of things in the latter. "And people do find it offensive" I don't really care if the ignorant are offended, same for the people that want to be offended. "that you can’t invalidate their feelings based on a technicality." True, but I can mock them and point out that they don't know what they are talking about.

Vic Newberry

Hard Ball - Very strong fatherly message and very underrated movie starring Keanu Reaves and Diane Lane

Richard Maurer

You can have an opinion Mike - once you’ve seen the movie. If you haven’t seen the movie you’re either speculating or taking someone else’s opinion as fact. You can choose to not watch a movie based on a trailer or word of mouth, I often do this myself. But what a person can’t do ( or shouldn’t do anyway ) is review the film, negatively or positively, without seeing it first. This should be self evident but increasingly isn’t.

Richard Maurer

Nope, it was definitely racists. I grew up in farm country and when I heard that word (or worse) it was always followed by racism.

Richard Maurer

You should probably let this go Mike. It’s straying towards a problem area if you know what I mean.

Mike Lemon

You grew up in the 1930s? For your anecdote to apply to my question, you would have had too since the hustlers started badmouthing the movie before it was released. I fell into an internet rabbit hole, apparently very few considered it racist before 2006-ish, many never having heard of it, but there is the Richard Pryor Chevy Chase skit in 1975.

Richard Maurer

Are you calling me a liar, Mike? Believe whatever fantasy you want to believe. I know what I know from real world experiences.

Mike Lemon

Sigh... " ""racists took the term and made it a slur." " "Was it racists or was it the perpetually offended and/or race hustlers? I tend to see these kinds of things in the latter." That is the question I wrote, plain as day. Restating it- *what happened first,* the race hustlers/perpetually offended or the racists? To know that we need a source pre-1946, when the race hustlers (race-baiter may be a better phrase) first came after Song of the South. For your anecdote to apply to that it would have to be from *before* 1946. For a more modern example, do you remember the "white power sign" the media ran with in 2017? Somebody trolled them into thinking the innocuous "OK sign" (thumb and forefinger making an O with the other fingers sticking up) was secret code for a W (three fingers up) and P (the O and the arm). Now there are people who truly think it is a racist white power gesture. It's not a stretch that a few even more mental defectives could start using as a racist symbol. "but there is the Richard Pryor Chevy Chase skit in 1975." That is also what I wrote, putting some believing it to be racist at 1975. Getting closer but that isn't 1946. Now on to this- "Are you calling me a liar, Mike?" Of all the people here, I didn't think you were one of the ones I needed to say this to- read what I actually wrote, not what you think I wrote.

Richard Maurer

Speaking of ignoring what someone actually wrote, that’s a lot of words to use to ignore what I wrote. But agree to disagree, this really isn’t the place for this discussion and I really just want to get away from it. Take that as a win or whatever makes you feel better.

Richard Maurer

HH - once a month you advocate for “that” version? That’s not much in the way of dedication. Some of us advocate weekly for films that are unlikely to ever be watched. Speaking of which, I just want to say Horror of Dracula.

Richard Maurer

I checked on Popcorn Requests - she has in fact seen the original Karate Kid

David Matthews

Some awesome "fatherly" type movies... "The Judge" is good, Robert Duvall (2014). "The Wrestler" with Mickey Rourke (2008). "The Water Diviner" which has everything, a great movie with love, war, suspense, hope, etc - it's all there starring and directed by Russell Crowe (2014). "Kramer Vs Kramer" with Dustin Hoffman is a legendary movie about fatherhood (1979)

bgb1975 (Brian)

Hey, now! (Any Larry Sanders and Hank Kingsley fans?)

Happy Hanukkah

You have convinced me. From now on, you can count on me to advocate for *that* version with dedication.

I loved it first time round, when I was young. Now I'm older it breaks my heart. Blistering return for Mickey though! He did great in this.

where did deepwater horizon go?

Joe J

Cassie really likes these types of movies, almost always uses her PPoTM for rom-coms and romantic moves. I could care less about this movie...but I don't have to watch it, lol.

D. T. Nelson

I'm pretty sure it was removed because it wasn't Deepwater Horizon. It was a reupload of the Sum of All Fears reaction.

D. T. Nelson

It's a pretty good film. It gives more enjoyment to people who know something about Shakespeare's plays and have at least a general knowledge of Elizabethan theater (not just Shakespeare, but all the playwrights, actors, and political figures of the era).

Richard Maurer

The Iron Claw is great too - good and bad fathers

sounds like an incredible trip, always wanted to go to that area! i will choose the insider for my ppotm one of these days -really want to see it! it was my vote, but i ended up loving deep water horizon too !

Richard Maurer

Byrd - if superhero movies didn’t exit some other type of big budget movies would have replaced them. It’s not like the trend just started with superhero movies. In fact the summer blockbuster thing has been happening since at least the late seventies. This won’t change even if superhero movies disappear entirely (not likely), they’ll just move on to whatever the next trend is. Both Hollywood and the theaters want big money making movies, they are not going to change from this because with advent of streaming they really can’t afford to.

MacGuffinStuff

MI FAMILIA, I consider it a Father's Day movie because it's a family movie, and I love the dad's little speech at the end. It's a sprawling epic of multiple generations in a Mexican American family that I personally really relate to, but it's also full of humor and emotion. Highly recommend. Oh I forgot, Francis Ford Coppola was a producer on it, and Jennifer Lopez is in it too.

Clay F

+1 for The Wrestler

BriGuy

Oh Nooo -- you watched the sequel first ! But I'm guessing it was long enough ago that it wouldn't make any difference now. You really should see the one with Anthony Hopkins, because for one thing, it's the origin story, and for another, Hopkins, as I said, is just so tender and moving as the father who loves the daughter he's unjustly separated from. And he's great in many other ways, too.

Chris Thom

Just premiered this afternoon.

AceofSpades501

I thought Thunderbolts was one of the better Marvel movies of late, if you want to watch it on. the channel, I would be down

Brad Harsel

Love and Mercy....with the recent passing of Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys would be a good watch

Ryan Towell

Very good film. Paul Dano was amazing in it, but then again he's amazing in every role he plays. But playing Brian Wilson must have been quite the honor for him. John Cusack playing older Brian I didn't really get that casting choice other than a "bigger name" maybe. I don't know I never understood that casting choice.. but Paul Giamatti killed it in this film as well.

Brad Harsel

I thought the same thing on Cusack as well until I saw some footage of Brian Wilson back in the 80s and I could see it a little more....the acting from Cusack was spot on with Wilson during that time as well...and yes Dano and Giamatti were great in their roles!

gilgath

Horrible Movie.. If you want a hidden love story gem check out "A Walk In The Clouds."
