Content

Yesterday I did a live drawing for 2 polls from The Popcorn Request site with numbers 1-300. I think we got a good mix of genres, years and most-least requested.

***PLEASE NOTE!! On this one I originally pulled The Whole Nine Yards, when looking it up after I realized I have seen that one. (I actually thought that it was The Green Mile originally, doh!) Anyways, the kids randomly drew another one and it was Cruel Intentions!!

This is Poll #2, make sure to vote on Poll #1 as well!

I think this will hopefully be another way to find hidden gems!

The top 3 from each poll will face slash off in a final poll in a few days!

**multiple votes allowed!

OMG CRUEL INTENTIONS YESSSSSSS

Jon Johns

I love how your boy mispronounced Trainspotting!! 😂

Bill Maurer

Zulu all the way !!!! Though I doubt it makes it.

LukeG84

Gutted The Whole Nine Yards got taken out. That would have made for a great reaction video.

Richard Maurer

I’m only voting for Sin City currently, that may change later

Rosario Cicero

Trainspotting and The Dark Crystal need to win and place

Jake McNulty

No contest for me here. I'm going with Transporting, Taxi Driver and Dark Crystal.

Stick Figure Studios

Not quite as many good movies on this poll as on the other one, but still some gems. Even though I know it would be a tough watch for her, I think I'm going to go with Martin Scorsese first masterpiece TAXI DRIVER as it is essential viewing for any self-respecting film buff. Truly one of the great American movies of the 1970s.

Shad Kanyak

If Cruel Intentions makes it, and it should, might be a good one to include Carly on.

Nick Ireland

Cruel intentions would be really fun. 90s classic!

Brent Petty

Dark Crystal is an 80's kids classic.

TheWebShark

Carly definitely needs to join you for cruel intentions. 😂😇

My_Cousin_Mose

The movie I like is actually winning but only because the poll started 3 minutes ago. I'm sure things will normalize here in a few. Edit: no worries folks things are back to normal.

G

Absolutely! The blushing that will happen will be off the charts lol

Justin S.

Taxi Driver is one of my favorite films but Sin City is a very entertaining action/crime noir with dark humor.

mikethemotormouth

And if and when we do get to Sin City, make sure it's the Theatrical release NOT the extended cut

Brent Petty

I've never been able to finish Out of Africa. Fall asleep EVERY TIME.

Gray

Cassie's reaction to Snatch is fantastic, so I'm hoping on Lock, Stock but I think it has no chance on this poll.

LukeG84

Just checked Popcorn Requests and The Whole Nine Yards is marked as Unseen. Cassie, please can you double check you’ve seen this one? Would be a shame to miss it if you’re thinking of another movie.

Just Plain Bob

Cruel Intentions = Dangerous Liaisons - Great Acting (John Malkovich, Glenn Close and Michelle Pfeiffer) + Terrible Teen Acting (Ryan Phillippe really?) “Sin City” and “Taxi Driver” are the two best choices by a wide margin. PS: I take that back. “Zulu” with a young-ish Michael Caine is also terrific.

Rick Moreno

I love that she put the first choice as "Trains potting." Those who attended the live for this drawing know. ;)

Shehab Dawoud

One film is HEAD AND SHOULDERS above all the others but of course it’s not in the lead and probably won’t win it all..

Larry Darrell

Dang… All my favorites are in the other Poll. 🙃

LukeG84

Cruel Intentions gets my vote. Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe, Reese Witherspoon, and Selma Blair. Need I say more.

Popcorn In Bed

yes, i double checked, i remember it a little-was matthew perry a dentist in it?

Rick Moreno

This makes me wonder what that looks like. Are the trains pottying on toilets? They are potting plants? or do they have really big joints and are toking it up?

K, Zachary

Cruel Intentions was a great 90's kind of romantic movie. However any movie on here that you do will be great. I have learned or told. That whatever I say is mostly wrong and whatever you say is mostly right. 🤯

DM DC

If Sin City Wins watch the THEATRiCAL cut. The other cuts/editions are terrible!

Adam Doyle

In my opinion, Taxi Driver might be too icky for Cassie's liking, and Sin City will be constant "O.M.G." and being grossed out. So I am going with Cruel Intentions and Rushmore.

LukeG84

Yes that’s right. Shoot. Perhaps a rewatch with Carly at some point? It was mostly filmed in Canada if that helps. 🙏🏻 There’s a sequel too btw. The Whole Ten Yards.

Above Average Dave

Marv, Goldie, Nancy, Miho, Dwight, Gail and Jacky Boy. How can you go wrong!?

Dan M

I’m not as invested in this poll as I am the first one. Many of the choices here are darker and would be tough watches, especially Taxi Driver, albeit, with amazing performances from Robert DeNiro and Jodie Foster. It probably won’t win, but I’m voting for Out of Africa. It’s just a beautiful movie visually, a fantastic story….and Robert Redford and Meryl Streep, two of the greatest actors ever.

Starpartyguy

Taxi Driver is DeNiro’s tour de force movie. And Scorseci shows why he’s so good! But it’s a hard movie to watch!

MAV293 (MARK)

I voted for "Cruel Intentions" even though It is a basically a remake of a much better film from 1988 with John Malkovich, Oscar nominated Glenn Close for Best Actress, Oscar nominated for Best Supporting actress and stunningly beautiful Michelle Pfeiffer, and a very young Uma Thurman and nominated for seven Oscars total of which it won three is the beautiful film titled "Dangerous Liasons"!!

Clarence Newman

Lock Stock is losing. I demand a recount.

Above Average Dave

Unpopular opinion: TAXI DRIVER was ground breaking in its day but is just creepy, Netflix-grade meh now. Also, THE KING OF COMEDY is basically the same movie with better acting.

Stick Figure Studios

It is easily the best movie on here, which is why it Probably will not win.

shireknight

What? Zulu is not winning by a mile? I'm absolutely gobsmacked.

YodatheHobbit

Trains Potting, and then hopefully it's sequel Birdwat Ching ;)

G

They're all based on the 1782 novel Les Liasons Dangereuses. So it's not really so much of a remake of that movie than it is a modern (for the 90s) retelling of the original story about French aristocracy before the Revolution.

Ted Whalen

Bob- Zulu is definitely my favorite on this list.

Paul Imrie

If you want the most general views, military films seem to pull in the highest numbers over time. Zulu is the story of an actual historical battle of a hundred British soldiers vs thousands of Zulu warriors. A bit slow at the start, but builds to epic fight scenes, and filmed on the actual location. Not gruesome, but you get a good sense of the struggle.

Flounder

Cassie, you DO NOT want to watch Trainspotting. I promise.

Joe J

Cassie, did you say "Duel" is coming in October?

Above Average Dave

OUT OF AFRICA is with ENGLISH PATIENT on the other poll that I am 99.97% sure she'd love. Classic romances.

Johnny

Yeah, I don't think she will have a good time with that movie lol.

Stick Figure Studios

Are you being serious or are you joking? As soon as I saw it up there I knew that was the one that was going to be in last place. I suspect most people here have never even heard of it let alone seen it.

Chris Retzlaff

Nice wink at the little man...Trains potting....he did a great job

Joe J

Dan, almost everyone votes for films they want to see.

Chris Thom

I keep forgetting that Cruel Intentions exists, but now I really wanna see that.

MacGuffinStuff

I'm a big fan of Danny Boyle's directing and of Trainspotting in particular, but Cassie you will not like it. Anyone who knows that movie you know there are a couple of rough scenes but one scene specifically is usually a bridge too far even for people who otherwise like the movie.

Keith Brown

ZULU is the movie that put Michael Caine on the map that led to his 60 years of movie stardom ! Much like Doctor No gave Sean Connery his big break as a leading man !

Flounder

Yup, on the other hand it’s nice to see midnight run doing well in the poll. Wait, that must be another poll.

Kristin

How has Cassie NOT seen Dark Crystal?!

Ted Whalen

Paul- agree……I think it is the best movie on the list.

Henry Graham

Taxi Driver is so much the best film on this poll it shouldn't even be a contest. Any other result (which is likely) is embarrassing.

Dean Holt

Maybe a good one for October, but it’s a shame it won’t win as I remember it being a good movie.

JONATHAN REDFERN WILLIAMS

The late, great actor Michael Madsen was in Sin City. I wonder if we can do a tribute poll to him, like we did for Val Kilmer?? (It's your channel, Cassie, it's entirely your choice!)

Dave

She did not. She said she was considering it as a possible watch with Carly in October

Cliff Endicott

Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels is easily the most fun and enjoyable caper here. Taxi Driver is a great movie, but about as much fun as having your gums scraped.

MrKsummer7

“We've just come back from Tommy's funeral, and you're talking about a scag deal?” Ewan McGregor's breakout role and Kelly Macdonald's film debut. Who can handle McGregor taking a swim in “The Worst Toilet in Scotland” or his crazy heroin withdrawal? I think Cassie can, so this one has my vote!

Baelzar

Oh man, I would love to see both of them watch Dangerous Liaisons, the original movie that spawned the vastly inferior Cruel Intentions.

bknsty14

Love this idea. She’s already seen the Kill Bills I think. Donnie Brasco would get my vote. That is a must see.

bknsty14

I like your nurse’s uniform These are O.R. Scrubs Oh, are they?

MAV293 (MARK)

With all due respect, I am fully aware of the novel, the play by Christopher Hampton who also did the screenplay for D.L. and that Cruel was updated to appeal to a younger audience. I stand by what I said because I did say basically which I meant for it to be a broad term and because a lot of the scenes and style of acting are extremely similar in both films regardless of the time period.

Stick Figure Studios

I've thought about that too and it would be nice, but I fear RESERVOIR DOGS would most likely win that poll and that would be a tough watch for Cassie.

Just Plain Bob

Gotta include “Reservoir Dogs” in any poll for Madsen. His best performance IMO.

Chris Thom

Never in my wildest imagination did I ever dream I would have sons like these.

Stick Figure Studios

It is a marvelous movie that showed the versatile imagination and visionary genius of Jim Henson.

Michael G

Cruel Intentions..one of the Horniest movies ever and a fantastic representation of the lat 90's teen literary adaptations. I am honestly shocked Cassie never saw it

bknsty14

It’s such a good movie, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen a reaction to it. Bill Murray was so perfect for that role.

pat on

finally people are voting correctly

Andrew Mote

Any Wes Anderson movie is an automatic vote yes

Sean

Sin City was a bit too much for me.

Mark Vaderr

Your explanation is why she hasn't seen it. Stupid movie.

Mark Vaderr

Too bad the movie is not as cute as the announcement was.

Mark Vaderr

It's disturbing that awful movies like that get sequels.

Stick Figure Studios

Yeah, he is just electrifying in that film... particularly in THAT scene (which of course is the scene that would give Cassie the most trouble).

Mark Vaderr

I agree, Cassie would have more fun watching "The Ice Storm".

Mark Vaderr

You're not missing anything.

Mark Vaderr

The same reason why she had never seen The Wizard of Oz.

Happy Hanukkah

I have read your comment and therefore recommend The Man Who Would Be King (1975)! :-)

Mark Vaderr

The Whole Nine Yards was exchanged for Cruel Intentions. From one piece of sewage to another. I am shocked at how many votes Cruel Intentions is getting. I hope The Dark Crystal can get a bunch more votes.

Richard Maurer

At least this poll is going well with Sin City in the lead.

Richard Maurer

It’s between Trainspotting and Taxi Driver for the least cute movie in the poll award

Happy Hanukkah

Until recently, Sin City was the only movie I watched twice in a movie theater. (In different continents, no less, and paying full price!). Not that I loved everything about it, but I was blown away by its visual style. (As Mike said, watch the theatrical cut.) Cruel Intentions? I see that others disagree, but my immediate reaction was: "Yuck!" I actually watched the movie in a theater, but practically slunk out in shame and felt like I needed a shower to wash myself off. How on Earth could anyone even think of setting Liaisons Dangereuses in a high school?!

Joe J

Seems she would have been aware of the film. It's also rated R, so that might have been a deciding factor for her back in the day.

Happy Hanukkah

In the meantime, I am alpha and I am omega. Perhaps avoiding the capitalization will save me from eternal damnation. :-)

MikeLL

Same with me. Don't care who wins this side of the poll.

Brent Petty

If I recommend one for October, it will be Train to Busan. :)

Richard Maurer

Got to go with Sin City. But Taxi Driver and Zulu are good too.

Shehab Dawoud

I love the comments that say: “I like this movie (which actually has a chance) but I’d rather vote for this movie which is 100 votes behind and has virtually no chance. What’s the point? Why not vote for the movie that you actually like and has a chance of winning? I’ve seen so many of those comments, not just a couple.

fastecp1

How can Cruel Intentions be beating out Taxi Driver? I'll be happy with Sin City or Taxi Driver.

David Patterson

Those potting trains are potty training.

Shehab Dawoud

“Well I’m the only one here”

Mark Vaderr

Cassie had forgotten that she'd already seen it. She mentions that in the notes up above. So did Cassie's reaction to Bringing Up Baby meet your expectations?

Joe J

Both polls will be decided in a few more hours...never takes long.

Mark Vaderr

Thank you! Cruel Intentions is awful!

Jacob Colson

Bruh, same. I voted for it just because it's Sarah Michelle Gellar at her hottest. Well, maybe that's the whole fun of Buffy or her as Daphne in the Scooby Doo movies. "Me likely! Tommy want wingy!"

Richard Maurer

Wish she’d watch it - outside of October. It about as much a Halloween movie as Cliffhanger.

Mark Vaderr

Perhaps some people just vote for what they want. I did.

MikeLL

Oh it did, Mark! It was wonderful. But I don't know what happened to my original comment. I tried editing it once I read the whole post above, and Patreon would'nt let me edit it, and now it's gone? Weird.

TheSingulatarian

These movie reaction channels attract two kinds of people. People that want reactions to movies from the last 40 years that they want reactions to and people with a deeper appreciation of cinema. I would say that the majority fall into the first category. I considered creating a movie reaction channel called "Before 1980" because no one reacts to films made before 1980.

Shehab Dawoud

Again, what’s the point of voting for something which is clearly not going to win? And you can vote multiple times so why not throw in a vote for the movie that is in contention, that you also like?

Happy Hanukkah

I don't want to insult what seems to be a large number of our fellow patrons, but I believe you described the movie most aptly: "sewage."

Mark Vaderr

That is weird. Yes, Cassie's reaction to Bringing Up Baby was fantastic. I really wish that Carly had watched it with her. It was fun watching her attempt to do the leopard cry that Major Applegate was doing. I look forward to the Youtube edit.

Stick Figure Studios

I think for a lot of people (and this is true in real elections as well) voting is merely a chance for them to express their personal opinion rather than to actually affect any kind of desired outcome (which would require more strategic thinking).

Shehab Dawoud

Really? Alright, I’ll refrain from commenting on that as I could say something that would get me banned.

Stick Figure Studios

KING OF COMEDY is certainly another Scorsese masterpiece, but don't underestimate TAXI DRIVER. There is nothing at all "Netflix-grade" about that film. It's still provocative and electrifying cinema. If tou're looking for something Netflix-grade on these polls, look no further than CRUEL INTENTIONS or SPIES LIKE US.

fastecp1

No, it's difficult to explain what Sin City is about. It's like turning a comic book into a neo-noir crime anthology. I don't even understand why I like it. It's exaggerated and over the top, with a great cast and wild graphics.

James

Almost every movie on this list you have to see. The other one had a couple I am sure, but I don't think you know how you randomly made what could be a top 10 list with this one!

LukeG84

It’s a classic 90s comedy starring Matthew Perry, Bruce Willis, Natasha Henstridge, Amanda Peet, Kevin Pollak, and Michael Clarke Duncan. Your definition is awful is seriously flawed.

Richard Maurer

I sometimes vote for movies I know will lose. But only when there’s absolutely nothing else in the poll I care about. More of a protest vote than anything.

Richard Maurer

Takes a little longer with multiple choice voting, but not too much longer.

fastecp1

That's what I do. I still ask for The Exorcist every Halloween, even though I know she's never going to play it; she's made that very clear. But you've got to try.

Smiley

Because normal people are voting for these movies and not film critics. And because while Taxi Driver is a great film, a lot of us know Cassie will suffer during the watching of it and we don't like seeing her in distress. Although a lot of the subs here do like watching her suffer. (I'm looking at you American Psycho voters)

Steve Mercier

Trainspotting is one of my all-time favorite movies, but I'm just not going to do that to you. I remember the reaction over on TBR Schmidt's channel--they said the movie was very well made, but absolutely (and very visibly) hated it. So...Rushmore then.

Richard Maurer

Yeah, that one I’d give up on. Not so much a lost cause as a waste of time. But you do you.

Art of Free Speech

I absolutely LOVE Cruel Intentions, and I did vote for it, and I almost feel badly because I'm not sure what Cassie will think of it. Dark dramas don't seem to be her cup of tea.

thebeefmaster

I voted for "Sin City" 317 times.

Jerrod Acree

Rushmore is a better film than Sin City.

To Wa

"We don't pay for the buttons. We throw the buttons away."

Stick Figure Studios

You are honestly shocked that Cassie has never seen CRUEL INTENTIONS? Are you new to this channel or something?

Andrew Heller

Sin city would be a hell of a winner…love that movie, of course not everyones cup of tea

Tinker

YOU. CARLY. OUT OF AFRICA. PLEAAAASSSEEE❤️❤️

LukeG84

Cruel Intentions would make for a better reaction video than Sin City in my opinion. Sure, Sin City has good visuals and lots of stars, but it’s very gritting and not the easiest movie to follow. Cruel Intentions has a better pace, is an easy watch, and Cassie’s reaction to certain scenes would make for great entertainment. Just putting that out there if you’re on the fence, or if the movie you voted for doesn’t have a chance of winning.

Wesley Allison

I never expected to find Zulu on one of these polls. It's one of my all time favorites, going back to when I saw it at about age seven. It was still a pretty new movie back then. It was an inspiration for Peter Jackson's The Two Towers and Gladiator. In fact, Ridley Scott even used some of the sounds from Zulu in the battle at the beginning of his movie.

Rick Rodriguez

Taxi Driver is a nice light comedy. Will make for a pleasant reaction experience.

JohnnyUtah

Shame War Games didn't make either poll. One day...

Jeff

Ha! I voted for 3 films in this poll and then saw they are currently the bottom 3 in the voting. Typical.

Todzilla

Taxi Driver should be #1. Hopefully it will get runner up. Not that I'm against "sexy movies" that may make Cassie uncomfortable, I'm all for it, but up against Taxi Driver, Cruel Intentions is a hard pass.

Stephen Dias

I may check out Zulu on my own anyway. Gotta love Michael Caine! It's one of those movies that I've heard of, but wouldn't have been interested in when I was younger.

Doc Larry/old geezer

So many good choices so different. Maybe one day they’ll have a poll that the worst choice wins as a watch that could be interesting and fun a reverse order last place gets the reaction

Clay F

Taxi Driver should likely be in the top 3 and thus would advance.

KauaiKeith

I voted for Out of Africa because I know that would Cassie and Carly's favorite, not my favorite. She will hate Taxi Driver even though it is a good movie.

Clay F

I am the opposite. The 2 that I voted for are in the top 2 in the voting.

Mike Lemon

I suggested something similar a while ago- have Cassie randomly choose the place that is going to be watched, don't tell anyone, and run the poll as normal.

Clay F

+1 for Donnie Brasco.

Clay F

Yeah, react to theatrical cut.

Kristin

been here for years...still surprised....

Clay F

The two (Taxi Driver and Sin City) I voted are currently top 2. Nice. "Taxi Driver" (1976) [AFI Top 100]. Provocative movie. Nom for Best Picture Oscar. Young Robert De Niro and 12-year old Jodie Foster, both nominated for Oscars. Would make for a great reaction. Even if Cruel Intentions (1999) surpasses Taxi Driver, which would be a travesty, doesn't matter b/c top 3 advance. I love "Sin City" (2005). Has a cast that Cassie will like. Bruce Willis. Jessica Alba. Clive Owen. Alexis Bledel (of Gilmore Girls). The beautiful Carla Gugino (e.g., the mom in The Haunting of Hill House). Mickey Rourke played my favorite character. The list goes on. Cassie may or may not like Sin City (difficult to predict) but in any case would be a good reaction.

Chris Thom

It's so good. Right before Wes went totally off the rails (or got on the rails) with that style.

Larry Darrell

If you mean you clicked the button for Sin City 240 times, then that means you only voted for it 120 times, and are currently not voting for it. This is a “loves me/loves me not” situation. If you want Sin City to have your vote, then you need to click the button again for the 241st time. Odd numbers are “For,” evens are “Against.”

Chris Thom

I've seen it. Just not in a while. Epic use of Bittersweet Symphony. I think she might enjoy it, actually. Can totally picture her reaction already.

Chris Thom

Number one in requests right now.

JohnnyUtah

That's right, all those 200+ were chosen at the random. Lol

Larry Darrell

I’m indifferent on this poll, but I’ll tip the Taxi Driver an extra buck, just for you Shehab. That’s the only front runner I’m placing any bets on for this race.

thebeefmaster

Just joking. Not a very good joke but just a joke.

Roger Banks

Oh man, no fair making me choose between Zulu and Out of Africa.

Javier Hernandez

This should not be close. "Out of Africa" is based on actual events and features two icons of American cinema in Streep and Redford. The cinematography is stunning and the characters are complex and the story pulls every string your heart has to offer. Fellas, if you want to seduce a woman, by all means, take her camping and wash her hair for her. I've done it and it works. See the other heavy stuff like "Taxi Driver" another time.

Walter

You guys should let me vote first so you can see which films definitely will not win :)

Chris Thom

Kooky, eccentric story of a misfit in love...with slapstick...like exploding fingers.

Clay F

I do like Out of Africa (last place) and agree with your comments on Out of Africa, but here I am not going on a date. Taxi Driver would make for a great reaction. Taxi Driver is a profound movie. AFI Top 100. Every reactor should have the Taxi Driver notch on their reactor belt.

Clay F

Looks like the top 3 to advance will be Sin City, Taxi Driver, and Cruel Intentions.

Clay F

The distant bottom 4 = Rushmore (1998), Zulu (1964) (watched as a kid), Trainspotting (1996) (was acclaimed back in the day but here next to last), Out of Africa (1985) (last place). Sin City has over twice as many votes as each of these bottom 4.

Chris Thom

Rushmore is so good though. And Trainspotting. Haven't seen the others.

Chris Thom

Definitely think it should appear on this channel eventually. Might be a good fit. She'd love baby Reese and Ryan.

Chris Thom

She'd be into the cast I bet.

Larry Darrell

I know. I’s just taking your joke and running with it. I brought it back. ;-)

James M

Popular films in the Popcorn polls are not usually great films. Still for any reactor you need to pick and choose what to watch.

Happy Hanukkah

"Fellas, if you want to seduce a woman, by all means, take her camping and wash her hair for her." Now that you've revealed this, we don't need to see the movie anymore! :-P :-)

thansen

Sin City is winning. I'm shocked.

abraham wilson

Rushmore! Definitely won't win, but I love it so much!

Chris Tucker

Been years since I watched "Sin City" ... can't hardly recall what it was about. Lots of style in that film though. But "Taxi Driver" beats it.

Art of Free Speech

I'm sure she'd love the cast, but she might go into it thinking it's a RomCom, and we know how that turns out.

Catherine LW

You need subtitles for Trainspotting.

Carlos Stevens

Looks like Sin City is winning (...what I voted for). I have to warn you... this is a rough movie.

Chris Thom

I would imagine she would enjoy it. It's based on a classic French novel, cast is probably mostly actors she knows and likes, and it has an amazing use of Bittersweet Symphony. Plus it's 90's. Settings are all nice. And...love (with complications)! Lol. Honestly think it would totally be her thing. And she should bring Carly.

Chris Thom

Same. Total classic in my book.

Chris Thom

Cruel Intentions is a proper fit for this particular channel. She'd love the character development, I think.

Larry Darrell

I suggested a long, long time ago that every poll should give two films. One for Us & One for Her. The winner gets watched and a film Cassie chooses that she wants to watch.

Justin S.

Both Val Kilmer and Michael Madsen are in Kill Me Again. It's definitely an underrated film that is worth checking out.

Clay F

I think Sin City has a chance to win it all (in the next poll -- the final poll). A question is how will Sin City do against The Birdcage and Midnight Run.

Clay F

My guess is the winner of the final poll will be one of these 4 (the top 2 from each poll): Sin City Taxi Driver The Birdcage Midnight Run

Richard Maurer

Carlos - rough, but not nearly as rough as Taxi Driver.

Richard Maurer

Didn’t vote for American Psycho, but I watched the reaction. Cassie handled it pretty easily.

Clarence Newman

Lock Stock is also in the 200s. Virtually a four-way tie then, so end it now and watch them all!

Clarence Newman

Mike. If she did that, you do realise that the film with the MOST votes on that poll would probably be Indictment, right?

Clarence Newman

They are in a 4-way tie with Lock Stock and Cruel Intentions. All four are on 200-ish.

Alex Gorell

Prediction, Cassie is not going to like Sin City

Horoldo

Please let Lock Stock win :)

Clarence Newman

"If you don't wanna be countin' the fingers you haven't got, or sharing a bed with the AntiChrist, you'll watch that film......QUICK!" ("And get me an ice cream while you're at it, will ya?")

David Collins

That explains why we haven't seen it on the channel, but still, Losing The Whole Nine Yards is a huge bummer. Some OK movies here, but nothing overly compelling either,

Richard Maurer

One: we don’t know that. How many times have people predicted that Cassie won’t like a film, only to have her like that film? Two: Cassie doesn’t have to like a film for it to be a good reaction. Her reaction to The Crow, one of my favorites, yet obviously not hers, is my second favorite reaction she’s done, one that I have watched many times. My conclusion: vote for the movies I like, don’t worry about something I can’t know for sure anyway.

Alex Gorell

Yea no kidding I don’t know that for sure, that’s why I said it was a prediction. Just like how I predicted she wasn’t going to like Full Metal Jacket, or big trouble in little China.

Richard Maurer

Sure. But many people predicted she wouldn’t like 300, Kill Bill, Starship Troopers, Mad Max (1). My main point was that it doesn’t really matter if Cassie likes a film or not, it can still be a good reaction.

Richard I agree it’s not a horror film, but Cassie normally only watches 2 or 3 films in October I’d classify as Horror. As she also tends to watch stuff that’s not scary but is a bit on the darker side or films like Practical Magic. So that’s why I think it would be a good choice for October. You can still disagree and that’s ok as it’s your opinion.

One of the best Zombie films I’ve seen 👍🏼

I don't know about Taxi Driver, may not be her cup of tea

Richard Maurer

More than likely not, but you never know for sure.

Chitown Livingston

I vote anything Paul Newman! The Hustler, Cool Hand Luke, Jerimiah Johnson, Butcher Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, The Sting, Absence of Malice, The Verdict, etc etc etc

Richard Maurer

Turns out would have been worse if it did. Now it doesn’t even have to be voted on.

The Writer Black

I like that multiple votes are allowed on this one. Sin City's gonna be a fun one. Taxi Driver might be a bit rough, but it shouldn't be too bad.

Clay F

She can handle both Taxi Driver and Sin City just fine. My top two choices out of these two polls.

Clay F

The English Patient won a massive 9 Oscars including Best Picture. I was glued to the movie.

Richard Maurer

But never, never cut a woman’s hair for her while she sleeps as a surprise. Sounds strange I know, but they get VERY upset if you do that.

fastecp1

I hated American Psycho and never voted for it. And I don't think Casey will have any problem with any of these movies. Remember, she is an adult.

Clarence Newman

Jeremiah Johnson was Redford, Chitown. The others are all gems though.

Clay F

Current Top 3 1. Sin City (2005) -316 2. Taxi Driver (1976) [AFI Top 100] - 295 3. Cruel Intentions (1999) - 280 I am excited that Sin City or Taxi Driver may win it all in the final poll.

Chitown Livingston

You're right! Oops! Still love that movie and the rest! Absence of Malice is a hidden gem!

kaiielle

On multiple choice polls like this, when members vote for all the movies they truly want, it gives Cassie (and the whole team) a good idea about how much interest there is in certain movies, even when they don't actually win the polls. This can be helpful when deciding future reactions without polls.

RM - Not disagreeing with you, but I will add that I do get concerned on the rare occasion that I am confident that Cassie will simply not "get" a movie. That, as opposed to her merely not liking it, can sink a reaction for me. (But as you point out, this confidence can be misplaced.)

Shehab Dawoud

@kaiielle My point is, since you can vote for multiple movies, why not also vote for the movie that you admitted that you like, which also has a chance of winning, instead of just voting for the one at the bottom? Use your multiple votes if you like multiple movies, that is essentially my point.

ElmSt Reactions

Has to be trainspotting, great film to watch reactions 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

James

A further comment on the choices: Taxi Driver is a fantastic movie, but definitely not a movie for Carlie for sure, however: The Dark Crystal is a must see movie for the whole family. I am surprised that you never saw it. It is a classic!

Stick Figure Studios

Oh, It will definitely be an unpleasant experience for her, but a powerful one.

Stick Figure Studios

I actually think she would enjoy SIN CITY more than TAXI DRIVER.

Richard Maurer

HH - depends on what you mean by Cassie “not getting” a movie. Literally not understanding it? Yeah, that’s not so good. Not getting the “vibe” of a movie, because it’s outside her norms? Love that, see The Crow reaction, as I said before, one of my personal favorites.

Richard Maurer

Stick - same. Cassie tends to be more affected the more reality based a movie is. Sin City is decidedly and intentionally way over the top, where Taxi Driver is way more reality based.

Clay F

I am pumped to see her react to SIN CITY (if finishes well in the final poll). Such a slick, creative, and entertaining movie. I am also big on TAXI DRIVER, which would make for a great reaction. A profound movie. AFI Top 100. Every reactor should have the Taxi Driver notch on their reactor belt.

Alex Gorell

Taxi driver will make her feel icky.

Joe J

Top 3 are decided now.

Stick Figure Studios

@Clay: Though it's not nearly as well known as Scorsese's film, I actually think that TAXI DELVER is an even better movie. ;-)

D. T. Nelson

I'm very interested and excited to see Cassie's reaction to Sin City. I expect a lot of "Oh, WOW!" both as a positive for the visuals, but also as a negative for the graphic nature of MANY scenes. The stylized approach to this film will be responsible for much of the positive wow's and a help in tamping down the negative wow's. In the end, though, I think she'll like it. (I hope she watches the theatrical version rather than the extended cut with the long credits between each part of the story) Kudos to the poll creator. I like the little joke and wink by adding the space between the s and p in the middle of Trainspotting. I see what you did there. 🤮

Joe J

Sin City still has to win the run-off poll..so don't count you're chickens just yet.

Clay F

Had good one. A funny typo police, but glad you pointed it out b/c that is hideous looking. Correcting now.

Richard Maurer

Hope it does. It’s better than the leaders on that poll.

Chris Thom

I saw parts of the Netflix series. Looked extremely creative and well done. Never watched the original.

Brian O'Grady

I just saw Zulu the other day for the first time. So well done.

Ike

Pass. 😇 Whatever you guys vote for I’ll support.

Clarence Newman

Don’t worry, Cassie. If it doesn’t win, you can Popcorn Pick it next month!

Anthony V Petty

Taxi driver is so violent that not sure Cassie will enjoy it, possibly appreciate it, but not here to babysit so be it. Rushmore is my pick because I think it Wes Anderson’s first real mark in cinema. Funny, thoughtful, and quirky like all his films. I hope it does better in future polls.

Ignis Rændl

even though I voted for Sin City i just wanted to give The Dark Crystal some love. a fond childhood memory, and another Jim Henson gem.

Dan

If y'all vote in Taxi Driver, the girls will be under the blankets most of the review. It's pure violence. It's not even a "thriller." It's just language and gore.

Clay F

It's a profound and provocative movie. American Film Institute (AFI) Top 100 movie all time. Nominated for Best Picture Oscar. Young Robert De Niro and 12-year old Jodie Foster, both nominated for Oscars. Taxi Driver is a movie that every reactor should have as a notch on their reactor belt.

Richard Sharpe

Zulu is a true story and so well done, it is a masterpiece.

Clay F

I think these will be the 6 choices in the final PR 1-300 poll. -Sin City (2005) -The Birdcage (1996) -Taxi Driver (1976) -Cruel Intentions (1999) -Midnight Run (1988) -Innerspace (1997)

shireknight

I don't get it lol. Zulu and Out of Africa are the clear outstanding films in this poll and they are both at the bottom, yet this very same channel has given us classics like The Great Escape, Ben Hur, The Birds, Lawrence of Arabia, Psycho, The African Queen and many other films from the golden age of Hollywood. What gives, are voters just suddenly bored of the great films now?

Clarence Newman

It's certainly not that, mate. I'm always trying to get the older classics watched. Maybe not the black and white ones so much, but there is definitely not enough Newman/McQueen/Brando/Monroe on here. As for those you listed, I kind of go back and forth. I loved Psycho and The Great Escape (McQueen , so duh), but Lawrence of Arabia and African Queen were just dirges for me. I know that differs strongly from your take on it, but each to their own. Zulu and Out Of Africa are not on my list (seen the first a long time ago, haven't seen the second), but I'd love to see a reaction to the following: Gentlemen Prefer Blondes & Seven Year Itch (Marilyn) The Time Machine (Rod Taylor) An Elvis or two (Blue Hawaii is ideal) All the remaining great Newman/McQueens Rio Bravo & Sons of Katie Elder (John Wayne) The Dirty Dozen (Marvin, Bronson, Jim Brown) There is still great mileage in pre-1970 movies - even in terms of YT views. We just need to guide Cassie towards the right ones.

Richard Maurer

Taxi Driver isn’t really a movie to enjoy. I think most people who like the movie appreciate it as a work of art more than enjoy it.

Richard Maurer

I wonder if multiple choice voting will be allowed in the final six poll? Could definitely affect the outcome.

Joe J

Single voting I reckon. Time to man up and decide, lol.

Joe J

Art is subjective. Everyone has a different take on what is an outstanding film. Awards just mean the Academy and critics like something, but really that means nothing IMO.

Joe J

Cassie's watched rougher stuff on the channel. Carly would not join for this type of movie.

Joe J

I don't vote for Cassie's enjoyment...I vote for mine.

Clay F

I was thinking that multiple voting might favor Sin City winning but that is a wild ass guess. Could hurt.

Richard Maurer

I was thinking single votes would help Sin City, but who knows?

Clay F

1. Sin City (2005) – 356 (Winner) 2. Taxi Driver (1976) – 333 (2nd place) 3. Cruel Intentions (1999) – 311 . . 6. Rushmore (1998) – 164 7. Trainspotting (1996) – 160 8. Zulu (1964) – 150 (next to last) 9. Out of Africa (1985) – 120 (last place)

Clay F

8. Zulu (1964) – 150 (next to last) 9. Out of Africa (1985) – 120 (last place) The winner Sin City (2005) received 356 votes -- almost three times (3X) as many votes as Out of Africa.

Happy Hanukkah

Using my prophetic powers, I daresay you might be right. :-P
