The only thing I remember from this movie is Ralph Fiennes running a lot

K, Zachary

This movie is sooo romantic. Between this and Materialists to quote The Notebook " the best kind of love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds". That's what we felt. Thank you Cassie for a great reaction.

Uncle Phoenix

Whenever is see Joseph or Ralph Fiennes I always think of their cousin Ranulph Fiennes. What an amazing man. Eight years in the British Army including the SAS. Then he became the first man to go to the North AND South Poles. Later, after heart surgery, he ran Seven Marathons in a Single Week. What an absolute Bad A Dollar Dollars. (I forget the actual phrase)

Gray

lost quite a bit of his fingers to frostbite too

I hate this movie for one reason: this film won the Oscar for best film beating out ‘Saving Private Ryan.’ I suspect that producer Harvey Weinstein had no small hand in that. Other than that, great film.

Chip Smith

This is one of my very favorite movies. I love Shakespeare and this is a clever story and the cast is fantastic. I still think “Saving Private Ryan” should’ve won Best Picture.

Queen Elizabeth: "I know something of a woman in a man's profession. Yes, by God, I do know about that."

Mikey

You think you’ll ever watch Your Name. I still think you and Carly would love it as it’s a phenomenal love story and several of us have been requesting it for a few years now. I’d even be happy to donate extra to add it to your schedule!

Anjolie Lanel

Thanks for making this your pick of the month! I knew you would love this. You should watch, Elizabeth, with a very young Cate Blanchet and Joseph Fiennes, if you haven’t already. Another period drama about the early days of Queen Elizabeth the First. It won numerous awards I believe

Patrick Gibbs

The character of morbid little boy (who reveals Viola is a girl) was, in real history, a playwright named John Webster and he wrote very violent plays.

Clay F

+1 for "Elizabeth" (1998). Nominated for 7 Oscars including Best Picture and Best Actress (Cate Blanchett). Cate Blanchett is stunning.

Mark Vaderr

Released the same year as Shakespeare In Love. Elizabeth is an average movie, but Cate Blanchett is fantastic. Blanchett should have won the Oscar for Best Actress, but Harvey Weinstein had it bought for Gwyneth Paltrow.

The Oscar Best Picture nominees that year: Saving Private Ryan Elizabeth The Thin Red Line Shakespeare In Love Life is Beautiful

Brogan

You mentioned wanting to see more historical films, I feel like Amadeus would scratch the right itch! Another big award winner

Gábor Árki

She reacted to Amadeus 3 years ago

Brogan

😋 ty I will go catch that (high and must've forgot lol)

Clarence Newman

I may have woken up a little more in touch with my feminine side this morning, Cassie, because that is a stunning little frock-top you're wearing. Indeed, it dost provoke a soliloquy: "But soft! How far that little candle throws its beam! There may be no note of mine worth the noting, but dost one touch of nature not make the whole world kin? Farewell then, fair cruelty! I am but a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more. Thus I shall leave thee with a barbaric and defiant Yawp!" (Dangit, that's Walt Whitman). OK, I seem to be playing gender AND playwright ping-pong here, so I shall desist. "Forgive me, fair maiden! There is many a man has more hair than wit, thus I should give my thoughts no tongue!" (Translation: you look better in your frock than Gwynnie ever did.)

Anjolie Lanel

Oh thank you. I really thought Elizabeth had won something

Mike Gallagher

Thanks for this reaction. This is the second movie on the channel that I forgot I loved so much and skipped the full length reaction. The other was As Good As It Gets. Like that film I'm now going to buy this and watch the full reaction later. You said that reading the plays make them go right over your head. When I was in high school reading Romeo and Juliet I struggled. My mom said "These are plays not books. They're meant to be heard. Create voices for the characters in your head and read their parts that way." So I was in my room reading it partly aloud in voices I made up. It created a love of Shakespeare. I then went on to be a Lit major in college. Thank you for stirring that memory as my mom passed 10 years ago. Any memories brought up are a priceless gift. As for Shakespeare I really hope you can try Much Ago About Nothing. It is amazing. It stars your girl crush Kate Beckensale at 17 or 18. That launched my lifelong love of her. (we're exactly the same age so it isn't creepy at all to talk about how hot she was at that age...lol) Thank you again.

Clarence Newman

Just finished watching this and it reminds me again of why I'm here and nowhere else. I really do love the way Cassie reacts so differently to things than I do. She reacts to the final on-stage kiss between Willie and Viola as if it's the jackpot moment she's been waiting for the entire movie. My equivalent would be Stallone using an explosive arrow to blow up the bad guy in Rambo 2. Vive la difference!

Roy Speed

There's a movie that I think you'd love, Cassie — one that I don't think I've ever seen mentioned here. It stars Alan Rickman, among others, and was directed by him; it's one of the last film projects he worked on before he died. The principal stars are Kate Winslet, and Matthias Schoenerts (plus Stanley Tucci and a few other familiar faces), and the movie is called "A Little Chaos." It's historical, it's romantic, it has gorgeous music, gorgeous cinematography. — I think you'll be in love with it. But it's not well known, so I don't think it's likely to make it onto your lists or, if it ever does, garner many votes... This might require a Cassie executive decision — a Popcorn Pick of the Month.

Happy Hanukkah

Your mother was wise, as were you for listening to her. When it comes to recommending Much Ado About Nothing, I keep vacillating between Branagh's 1993 version and Whedon's 2012 one.

Clay F

I like that movie.

Roy Speed

I posted the above before watching your reaction — which I thoroughly enjoyed. A few comments about the ending, which you can't fully appreciate without knowing something about Shakespeare's other plays & characters: First, the primary writer on the screenplay is Tom Stoppard — perhaps the greatest living playwright in English — and the notion underlying the final scene is that Viola de Lesseps was the inspiration for all Shakespeare's future heroines: "You will never die for me, never grow old..." And sure enough, in play after play, especially the comedies, the central female character is a strong, young, articulate woman with a brilliant mind — Viola in Twelfth Night, Rosalind in As You Like It, Beatrice in Much Ado About Nothing, Isabelle in Measure for Measure, and on and on, each of them bearing a remarkable resemblance to Gwyneth Paltrow's Viola.

Joe J

I was so certain Cassie's PPoTM would be "Under Siege".😆

John Liebling

Cassie, that's Voldemort's younger brother...Joseph

Clay F

Seagal's best movie. That's not necessarily saying a lot, but I like Under Siege.

Clarence Newman

Watching Out For Justice in my gym at the moment, Clay. That one's good too.

Clarence Newman

You say WHAT, Chequered Flag? What do you not like about Out For Justice? The epic ponytail? The jaunty beret? The way his head bobbles about when he's doing his Brooklyn accent? True, we don't get a full-on Steven Seagal run (a sight to be seen for those who haven't), but there's some really good ass-kickage.

Clarence Newman

Words dripping from our tongues like nectar, Flag. We have truly qualified for the Dead Poets Society. It may have a secondary outcome too. Such poetic madrigals should soften Cassie's heart to the point where she dost watcheth Enter The Dragon.

Joe J

Seagal's early films were excellent whoop a$$ entertainment. Do we need more from these films, lol?

Oisin Clissmann

Yep! She has seen him before in Enemy at the Gates but didn't recognise him.

Judy M. Goodman

Did you not recognize the actress who played QEI? Or didn't it matter! And Did I see the actor who played Ron Weasley's father as the narrator?

Ria Grix

I love this movie, it literally just whisks you off your feet with romance. I had a friend who was an extra on this movie, I’d see him in the evenings after his day being an Elizabethan peasant, and he said that literally everyone had fallen in love with Gwyneth Paltrow… and he used to regularly play poker with Martin Clunes (Burbage) in between scenes.

Cole Jennett

The Nurse is also Professor Umbridge from HP5

Judy M. Goodman

Goodness, yes, I forgot! I recognized her right away. I missed him, but her husband from Downton Abeey was in it too.

Cole Jennett

That’s so cool, I didn’t know they were married! So funny that he plays The Nurse in the play!😂

Cole Jennett

Downton Abbey is my all-time favourite show. In fact I just restarted it the other night😂

bknsty14

Love this movie. Should SPR have won best picture? Probably. But there is no denying that this is a great movie. Wonderfully acted. The chemistry between Fiennes and Paltrow is amazing. It’s funny, it’s sad and it’s just a fun movie. Seeing Cassie beaming throughout was the icing on the cake. Genuine joy.

Trevor Rotan

How did this forgettable movie win best picture over Saving Private Ryan you ask? Weinstein bought and crookedly lobbied the award.

Stranger2Reality

I saw Out For Justice in theaters and thought it was hysterical. It's basically a cop with a bad attitude who gets wronged somehow (partner killed or whatever), and he just goes around kicking the crap out everyone he can find until he gets to the main bad guy, then he beats him to death. It's one of the thinnest plots ever and is fantastic lol

Judy M. Goodman

Yes!! I can see it now. I was introduced to Downton long after the last episode, but before the movie (were there 2 movies?). I loved it too.

Cole Jennett

I love Saving Private Ryan, and I’m not at all surprised or disappointed that this won. Absolutely worthy of Best Picture imo.

Cole Jennett

There’s going to be a third (and I believe final) movie in the fall

gilgath

Good plots make good movies but if all you want is Kiss,Kiss,Kiss..Lovey dovey done 1,000.000 times this is the sappy no brainer for you.

gilgath

Under the radar great love story "A Walk In The Clouds" 1995

JULIE

So glad you finally watched this. I kept voting for it! Both my disinter and I had Shakespeare dreams after seeing this.

Clarence Newman

This may actually be the ultimate Cassie movie. In terms of gasps, breathless sighs, hands pressed to chest to prevent her heart bursting forth like a delighted alien, and all the other indicators that her romance nerve is being twanged like a banjo, I can't remember a better one. Hats off to Ben too. Wooing Cassie must be like trying to get a Golden Buzzer from Simon Cowell.

Seymor Butz

Did I miss something. Never found this on YouTube. Was looking forwardxto it.

Popcorn In Bed

it is in youtube copyright jail! should be up hopefully today or tomorrow!

Mike Lemon

The post distinctly says "tomorrow". It is still today today.:-)

Clarence Newman

Yes, but the post was posted 2 days ago. Therefore today is not today. It is not even tomorrow because tomorrow was yesterday. Today is actually the day after tomorrow and Seymour should have his goshdang YT edit. All of this is irrelevant, of course (as Mike well knows, because of the smiley icon at the end of his post), because the copyright Nazis can hold a reaction for 72 hours without charge before admitting they were wrong and setting it free. Maybe tomorrow then.

Mark Vaderr

Weinstein knew how to secure awards. In what universe did Gwyneth Paltrow deserve the Oscar over Cate Blanchett for "Elizabeth"? You could've also made a strong case for "Life Is Beautiful" winning Best Picture over Shakespeare. Shakespear In Love is a good movie, but not Best Picture.

Mark Vaderr

You could have made a strong case for "Life Is Beautiful" winning Best Picture that year. As good as "The Thin Red Line" is, I didn't think it had a real chance of winning.

Happy Hanukkah

"Wooing Cassie must be like trying to get a Golden ..." My internal autocomplete offered "Retriever." :-)

Happy Hanukkah

Why does the Academy Award keep rewarding serious important movies at the expense of crowd-pleasers? Also: How could SiL win? Surely Marisa Tomei's award was not merited! ...

Chris Thom

His son played young Voldemort in Half-Blood Prince.

Chris Thom

As Good As It Gets still one of my favorite reactions on the channel.

Chris Thom

Hey you're not Bjorn.

Mark Vaderr

Interesting analogy on Ben & Cassie. As far as the "Ultimate Cassie Movie" goes, I would say "Return To Me" left a tremendous impression on Cassie. Other potential "Ultimate" movies for Cassie would be: The Age of Innocence Guess Who's Coming To Dinner? The Goodbye Girl Immortal Beloved Housesitter Message In A Bottle Sense & Sensibility Cassie will love these films.

Clarence Newman

Did you just recommend Fiddler on the Roof, Hap? I LOVED that one as a kid!

Clarence Newman

From your list, Mark, I'd go with Guess Who's Coming To Dinner.

Clarence Newman

Your Name is not Bjorn’s film, Chris. That’s Show Me Love. If I remember correctly, it was Phillip A who wanted Your Name.

Happy Hanukkah

If I were rich, I'd discuss movies with you learned men seven hours every day!

Clarence Newman

And all day long I'd viddy-viddy-voom. We have to get her to watch that.
