Here is the top 3 from the previous polls, I think this one is going to be a nail biter!

Comments

Fanchman

Midnight Run - you will not be disappointed.

Jon Johns

I'm voting for Midnight Run, because it's fun, and Cassie is rooting for it! (And Choof likes it, too!)

MGCR

Sin City is awesome and I can't wait to see you watch it.

Anthony Carlson

Taxi Driver or Midnight Run…which one should I choose?

LukeG84

What a poll. Can’t decide between The Birdcage and Cruel Intentions. Inner Space is also a consideration. May end up changing my vote a lot on this one.

Starpartyguy

Inner Space becomes Meg Ryan met her future husband Dennis Quaid in the movie

Uncle Phoenix

Martin Short and Dennis Quid did such a great job though.

Dan M

I’d be happy with any of the three comedy movies…Midnight Run, The Bird Cage, or Innerspace. And I think you’d really enjoy each one of these thoroughly. Plus, it’s summertime, so best to keep things light and happy.

Doc Larry/old geezer

There are a lot of good choices. Can’t wait to see the outcome.

Brian's Dog

Innerspace Fans, report in! Also that's 1987 and not 97.

Stick Figure Studios

And me too! I love it! It's one of my favorite films. I sent her the Blu-ray for it a few years ago and even picked it as one of my five submissions when I won trivia night!

JohnnyUtah

Definitely my favorite here and underrated imo

Samuel Champ

Can't go wrong here. Looking forward to whichever wins.

Stick Figure Studios

MIDNIGHT RUN! it's terrific and she'll love it (although either way she'll be seeing a great performance by DeNiro).

Knight Squirrel

You and Carly would LOVE Cruel Intentions. I suggest she join you IF you decide to watch it one day. 🍿🖤

Grinznmore

Robin Williams and Gene Hackman, and all-star hilarity. Birdcage.

Walter

I went with The Birdcage because it's the only one on the list I'd want to re-watch. I do feel like Cassie needs to see Taxi Driver and Midnight Run.

thansen

Definitely InnerSpace. It has no chance, though.

djKENTO

if you watch Sin City watch the theatrical cut. The “extended cut” chops the movies up into short films and it is not the director’s intended first viewing. It’s also a pain to sync and you have to watch the full credits several times.

Chris Retzlaff

Innerspace is a fun movie....Jack Quaids favorite I would guess....lol

LukeG84

Decided to go with The Birdcage. Cassie (and Carly) would love this one. A fantastic 90s comedy starting Robin Williams, Nathan Lane, Gene Hackman, Calista Flockhart, and Hank Azaria, to name a few.

Chris Retzlaff

The Birdcage is so good though and they really need to keep going with Gene Hackman films

Gray

3 of these I haven't seen so I'd be up for them, but Sin City & Cruel Intentions would be fun reactions too.

Chris Retzlaff

Thats why it might be Jacks favorite movie

Shawn Kildal

Midnight Run. A great road trip movie

Win

Gene Hackman and Robin Williams tribute, I’m rooting for The Birdcage

Mike the Ginger

Literally in my top five personal favorite movies of all time.

Choof

For those on the fence and with no major preference, I request midnight run

Thomas

Holy cow…

Shawn Kildal

Off topic (my apologies) is there a livestream of some sort tomorrow?

Robert Jewell

There are 2 films I can vote for although one I'm not sure is your cup of tea although it's a real film class kind of brilliant movie and then the other being one I'm certain you'll love so I voted for certainty. Hoping it wins.

TheWebShark

Cruel intentions did so well in the previous poll. Shame it not continuing this time. 🤞

Steve Holton

Hi Shawn, Yes the monthly livestream for those subscribed to the Extra Butter Tier membership at 5 PM Mountain Time.

thebeefmaster

Sin City is the one that you will still be thinking about the next day, the next week, the next....... It's not just a movie, it is an Experience.

Joe J

Yes, Extra Butter Live. Chat and watch-a-long to Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome.

Shadowlord

Innerspace was Martin Short's best film, IMHO

Chris Thom

Cassie did think Sin City would win at the drawing. But I think Cruel Intentions is a good fit for the channel. Hope she watches it someday.

Stevan Carter

Birdcage is unquestionably hysterical, but Midnight Run will really hit you in the feels.

Clay F

I voted Sin City. Creative. Stacked cast. Taxi Driver [AFI Top 100] is my 2nd choice but no multiple voting. Looks like Taxi Driver and Cruel Intentions my have benefitted from multiple voting in the earlier poll?

Stevan Carter

Ninety nine bottles of beer On The Wall 🤣

Dan M

And Hank Azaria killed it as Agador.

John W Foster

I voted for the Birdcage, but I would not be sad if Midnight Run wins - such a funny, great movie

Dan M

It’s actually tied for third right now. Not bad.

Dan M

And Dianne Wiest, who Cassie accurately described as “the mom in everything”.

Darren Harrison

My choice “Cruel Intentions” doesn’t stand a chance

My_Cousin_Mose

I'm gonna have to go with The Birdcage- Nathan Lane is just too funny. But I won't be upset one bit if Sin City wins. Its a good movie and has a very unique feel to it.

Steve Colletti

It seemed like the wait for a quality Blu-ray copy was interminable.

Johnny

Whatever happens, I think Cassie really needs to watch Midnight Run. She'll love it. Deniro and Charles Grodin have such great chemistry together.

Morgan A. Colbert

Birdcage is one of the funniest movies in the entire world.

Bill Maurer

Midnight Run all the way. Plus, part of it was filmed here in Arizona !!!

bgb1975 (Brian)

ugh...c'mon, patrons! Sin City?! Both "The Birdcage" and "Midnight Run" absolutely annihilate "Sin City".

Yaisu

None of my picks made it through. Looks like I'm voting for Sin City

mikethemotormouth

I love both of them but Nathan Lane steals the show

Katie Jackson

I've always loved Innerspace. I think this is where Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan met. They were together a long time and are the parents of actor Jack Quaid.

Mike A

A lot of great movies here, but I think Cassie would enjoy The Birdcage the most.

bgb1975 (Brian)

"....so here come two words for you: shut the ---- up!"

Stick Figure Studios

Shoot. It's going to be between BIRDCAGE and SIN CITY, isn't it? Dang it. I was hoping if it wasn't going to be MIDNIGHT RUN, it would at least be INNERSPACE (or maybe even TAXI DRIVER). Oh, well. Once again I'm going to have to hope for a PPOTM for MIDNIGHT RUN. In the meantime, if it looks like it will make a difference, I'll probably switch my vote to SIN CITY. I forgot that this is why, even though I still vote in them, I shouldn't get so emotionally invested in these polls because I just always get disappointed. :-(

mikethemotormouth

Couldn't disagree more. SC has style, dialogue, career defining performances

Stick Figure Studios

I usually follow with them with a kind of detached curiosity. This time I was genuinely excited.

Andrew Heller

Sin city is great, people that think otherwise are just being like that to be cool…i get there are good movies on here but sin city has great visuals, good stories and a hell of a cast

Chris Thom

Maybe there should be less entries on the polls. It's too heartbreaking.

JPDotCom23

It seems I’m not remembering this as funny as everyone, maybe was my age, wasn’t at all what I thought it would be.

Terry Yelmene

I went Birdcage - Cassie will like it and do a good job with that one. Personally, I'd like to see Taxi Driver again, but for Cassie... it's 'difficult'.

Stick Figure Studios

On any other poll I'd love it if INNERSPACE won. I love that film... but MIDNIGHT RUN is one of my all-time favorites.

Chris Thom

The Royal Tenenbaums would be fun.

Chris Thom

He's in that? Was he even born yet? Think that's dude from Scream 5 if I remember right.

Maisie

I don't suppose I can write in Kpop Demon Hunters? I think Cassie and Carly would love it.

Chris Thom

Ohhhhh THAT's Midnight Run. Ok I've heard of that. I think I saw that on an episode of Siskel and Ebert.

Godzilla Jones

I've loved Innerspace since I was a kid and i know for a fact Cassie would love it, but I'll go in for Birdcage why not.

Macabre Movie Maniac

I've been waiting for you to watch Cruel Intentions for four years, but it's not gonna win this poll

Kawaii Leonard

Picked Taxi Driver. Last place.¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Also, Game of Thrones week?

Chris Thom

Perfect for this channel. Carly should come too.

Old As Dirt Bert

I didn't have the urge to see it again when it came out on disc. I felt kind of like Ebert (who liked it), "The movie is not about narrative but about style." To me, style is usually associated with posing.

Stick Figure Studios

I've been waiting about as long for her to watch MIDNIGHT RUN

Stick Figure Studios

INNERSPACE is great. A childhood favorite of mine as well, but MIDNIGHT RUN is in my top 10.

Chris Thom

I just have trouble seeing what's going on in it. The effects and filters f-- with my eyes. Very comic booky.

Old As Dirt Bert

I like the top 2 race. Personally I'm hoping Birdcage wins because of the actors in their respective but extraordinary roles. Perhaps Cassie will give us a treat and watch the top 2. Please invite Carly if Birdcage gets watched - the 2 of you on that film will be a blast.

William Burnham

The Birdcage is not as good as the French original (La Cage aux Folles)

G

Cruel Intentions wont win but PLEASE do it with Carly one day!!! It would be so funny

G

Agree-- I lowkey think Sin City will win but she's probably going to hate it lol

Bill W

Not my first choice, but at least it's not Cruel Intentions.

Richard Maurer

Intentionally “comic booky” - they set out to film the graphic novel that was the source material.

Maisie

:insert "why not both?" meme here:

Art of Free Speech

Nope... not going to win, but easily within my top 10 favorite films ever. Hopefully someday she will, with Carly.

Just Plain Bob

I’m not a fan of CGI. Not because I don’t think it can be a useful tool but because, too often, filmmakers mistake computer effects for storytelling. But Robert Rodriguez hit the nail on the head with “Sin City”, using CGI to recreate the world of the comics while still telling interesting, archetypal stories. In the hands of a less talented filmmaker, it would have devolved into a “look what we can do!” smorgasbord of vivid imagery with nothing else on offer. Instead, Rodriguez uses the CGI to create minimalist images in which black, seemingly empty space often predominates, recreating the images of Frank Miller’s comics to near perfection. Great movie by a director that truly understands the source material. It’s got my vote.

Tom Castro

I have suggested "Midnight Run" to you several times, hope you do it (with Carly).

Stick Figure Studios

Me too, but it's not a favored title on this poll. More people apparently prefer SIN CITY or BIRDCAGE.

Todzilla

Ughhhh. Looks like it might be awhile until we get Taxi Driver. If it couldn't be Taxi Driver, hoping for Interspace to make it in somehow.

Todzilla

Spoiler.... . . . Taxi Driver kinda has a happy ending though 😆

thebeefmaster

Agree, "Birdcage" should be a joint viewing.

Maisie

Wait, what? She's going to watch GoT???

Gábor Árki

I would say more people are familiar with Sin City.

Gray

Yeah she's starting in August

Shawn Kildal

I always assume the movie / movies I root for don't stand a chance of winning. It helps lessen the blow when they inevitably lose

Stick Figure Studios

Well, It is the most recent film on there (The only one post-2000).

Jens Kristensen

Well, given IMO that "Taxi Driver" is one of the best movies ever made, I had to vote for that. "Innerspace" is such fun and "Cruel Intentions" cast shadows to the youth, not because of the story as it is nothing like my real life, but being a massive Sarah Michelle Gellar fan at the time of the release... I was a big fan of "Buffy: The Vampire Slayer" tv show. I was a teenager at the time as well. Fun fact: "Cruel Intentions" was called "Sex Games" in Denmark and I always hated that. The original title is superb but I guess the distributor felt that a change was needed... but why a new english title and why such a awful one?

Roy Batty

Midnight Run beating Taxi Driver? bruh...

Shawn Kildal

It is interesting that The Birdcage is the only of these movies in Planner's Request page that is ranked outside of the top 100 requested movies. And as of this writing it's tied for 1st place.

Mojo One Thousand

It's been a while since the leader of a poll (Sin City) is my last choice from those available... them's the breaks, as they say.

Just Plain Bob

I saw “Innerspace” in high school and thought it was fine but nothing special. However, I suspect Cassie would like it a good deal better than I did. That said, I’d personally prefer to see her react to the original movie “Fantastic Voyage “, of which “Innerspace” is really a remake. If/when Cassie does react to “Innerspace”, I hope it inspires her to watch more Joe Dante films, particularly “Piranha”, “The Howling” and “Matinee.” PS: Although I voted for “Sin City”, I think Cassie’s gotta react to “Taxi Driver” at some point and I strongly suspect she will. The teaming of Scorsese and DeNiro has never been better.

Chitown Livingston

Off topic... Star Trek original series... you'll enjoy... Balance of Terror, Mirror Mirror, The Menagerie I and II, Journey to Babel, The Devil in the Dark, Elaan of Troyius, The Doomsday Machine, Naked Time, Tomorrow is Yesterday, The Corbomite Maneuver, etc etc etc... enjoy 😉!

Shawn Kildal

Mirror Mirror, Journey to Babel and The Doomsday Machine are absolutely musts and truly iconic to TOS. I gave it the old college effort to persuade Cassie to include these but obviously failed. I feel like I should have tried harder. If she had a do over, I bet she would have done several more episodes. I like all of your other suggestions as well. I'd like to also include The Enemy Within, A Taste of Armageddon, and All Our Yesterdays.

Shawn Kildal

The 1 (and only) TOS episodes video on YouTube has over 210k views which isn't too shabby. So, it might be a worthwhile endeavor to do more eventually.

fastecp1

I'm still hoping for Sin City. If The Birdcage and Sin City are close enough, I hope she will play them both. My top three would be Sin City, Taxi Driver, and Midnight Run.

Grad

I'll add The Ultimate Computer to the list.

Clarence Newman

Why oh why, whenever I walk into one of these polls, do four guys immediately pounce and give me the bum's rush out the opposite door? With the exception of Cliffhanger, the vote button on my pick always gets disabled at 12%.

Maria Torres

I can't help feeling that "Dangerous Liaisons" should come before "Cruel Intentions" so we can get a grip on the inspiration for it.

Clay F

Plain Bob -- Your PS is ditto for me.

Clay F

Well said. Sin City has my vote.

Clay F

Glad to see my vote Sin City is still winning. I love Sin City. The Birdcage is good. The Birdcage wasn't included in the Hackman poll. I wonder if The Birdcage would have beat "Enemy of the State" (1998) that won the Hackman poll? Probably not. I hope one day she reacts to Taxi Driver. Maybe near the end of the poll time when it clear that Taxi Driver won't finish in the top 4, those who voted Taxi Driver could change their vote to Sin City to shore up the Sin City victory. My top 4 (w/current %) are: 1. Sin City - 23% 2. Taxi Driver [AFI Top 100] - 12% 3. The Birdcage - 22% 4. Midnight Run - 16%

K, Zachary

Great job to everyone for creating a nail bitter. That being said The Birdcage is one of the funniest movies we have ever seen. Both my gf and I agree that Cassie would really enjoy it.

Richard Maurer

You’re obviously voting for the wrong films, Clarence. ;-)

Richard Maurer

They had me worried at first but I’m glad to see Sin City winning now.

Clay F

Hasn’t Sin City always had the lead (+2% or +1%)? I went 4 hours or so without watching the poll results, so I may have missed Sin City temporarily falling out of the lead.

Chris Retzlaff

Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan is his parents....lol...this is where they met I believe.

Clay F

Current Popcorn Requests ranking. No. 14. Midnight Run No. 43. Sin City No. 48. Taxi Driver No. 49. Innerspace No. 88. Cruel Intentions No. 118. The Birdcage

Chris Thom

830 people voted already. Wow. Sometimes I forget how many people are actually here.

Shehab Dawoud

Episode 250 of ‘How can Patreon subscribers annoy me today?’ How can Midnight Run be at the top in the Popcorn request app but not come close to winning here?…

Mark White

Thanks Clay, I was just wondering where these were in the requests. So what’s going on then??🤔 Can someone explain to me this discrepancy between the votes and the requests? I’m not disappointed, these are all good movies in there own right, I’m just curious.

Clay F

Possible reasons might be: 1. Many patrons voting here in this poll don't use the Popcorn Requests app -- have never participated at Popcorn Requests -- are not even setup (not linked) to use the Popcorn Requests app. 2. Many patrons who upvoted Midnight Run in the app are no longer patrons -- long gone. The participation at the PR app (open to all patrons including free patrons) is very low. Since Midnight Run and Sin City were initially requested in the app early in the channel, there have been thousands and thousands of patrons available to participate. Yet, there is only a 14 vote (request) difference between No. 14 Midnight Run and No. 43 Sin City: No. 14. Midnight Run - 64 requests (the intitial request + 63 upvotes) No. 43. Sin City - 50 requests (the intitial request + 49 upvotes) A mere 14 PR votes (requests) separates the No. 14 ranking and the No. 43 ranking at PR when there has been thousands and thousands of patrons who had the option to participate.

Jerrod Acree

Sin City is overrated. Birdcage hopefully wins.

Mark White

I’ve heard Clarence a Patreon vote button is disabled or taken away if you mention Cannonball run too many times. Which is why mine is permanently disabled! 😆

Shawn Kildal

In reality, the ranking on Planner's PIB Request page has very little to no bearing on which movie will win a poll, much less how it will rank in the # of views it will have on YouTube

MikeLL

All these great movies only to likely get a Sin City watch. This is greatly disappointing.

MikeLL

Totally agree. Last by a country mile. I've never thought much about Sin City.

Shawn Kildal

I got a good laugh out that Mark! Thank you.

Clarence Newman

I needed clarification, so I DM'd Cassie this morning about it. She came right back with "YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID!"

Clarence Newman

And Richard, if Horror of Dracula gets on an October poll, you're going to want me to NOT vote for it.

Dean Holt

Pretty surprised Taxi Driver is smashing this, but it’s looking close between Sin City and the Birdcage, I’m also Surprised innerSpace didn’t just get through to the final but it in joint 3rd place. If it gets 3rd Cassie how you feel about watching the top 3 lol, hint hint 🙏. But it’s one of the very rare polls that I would be happy if any of them wins. As I’ve like all the five I’ve seen, there’s just the Birdcage I’ve not watched before but it’s been on my to watch list for ages. But again with them being some great films on here would love her to watch the top two at least.

Clarence Newman

I recommend a Midnight Run/Taxi Driver combo, which would put me in the lead at 28%. Who's with me?

Clay F

Not surprised that Sin City is winning. Creative, visually groundbreaking, stacked cast, and awesome dialogue that all bring Frank Miller's graphic novel to life. I would have also been very happy with Taxi Driver.

Richard Maurer

Clay - toward the beginning it was in fourth place. I was busy for a while yesterday so I didn’t get to check again for a couple of hours. By the time I did Sin City was in first.

Clay F

Oh ok -- I didn't see the very beginning (first few minutes).

Richard Maurer

Horror of Dracula would lose if it’s put on a poll with modern horror films - unlike a lot of people here l’m under no delusions about how popular my particular favorites are. The only way it will ever get watched is PaF, most likely. I say too many controversial things for it to get ‘The Searchers’ treatment. I’m my own worst enemy here, but that’s nothing new.

Clarence Newman

Richard. I think it's inappropriate for you to call yourself your own worst enemy when there are so many of us vying for the position.

Richard Maurer

Mark - The Popcorn Requests list is used by relatively few patrons, and doesn’t really reflect the popularity of the films, instead it’s just their popularity among the people who vote there. As I pointed out recently, Dungeons & Dragons, which wasn’t even in the top 100, did better on YouTube than Beverly Hills Cop, which was number 1 on the PR list for a couple of years.

Bill Isaacs

When people started calling comic books "graphic novels" I knew the bar could go no lower and prepared for The End. 😅

Richard Maurer

Clay - I see a lot people putting it down, and saying it’s only winning because it’s a newer film (2005). Just because a film is new doesn’t make it bad. Try to have a more open mind people. And not just about movies. The world would be a better place if more people did, instead of what we have now. Edit: went to the poll and checked, other than Taxi Driver (76) the rest of the films are all late 80’s (88) and 90’s films, which makes talking about Sin City (05) being a newer film even more ridiculous.

Richard Maurer

Bill - obvious that you don’t read comics so I’ll explain. A graphic novel is a long form comic or collection of shorter comics. No one who reads them calls all comics ‘graphic novels’. And comics, even the superhero ones, haven’t been written for kids in decades. Like any other art form there are bad ones, and mediocre ones, but also good, or even great, ones.

Clay F

Bill, let me see if I can help you understand why Sin City is commonly referred to as a graphic novel. The distinction between "comic book" and "graphic novel" is often debated and can be a bit fuzzy, but several key differences (e.g., list below) contribute to why Frank Miller's Sin City is typically referred to as a graphic novel. While Sin City shares the visual storytelling format of comic books, its mature themes, intricate narratives, and standalone structure align more closely with the definition of a graphic novel. The term reflects the evolution of comics into a more literary and diverse medium, appealing to a wider range of readers. 1. Length and structure: Sin City narratives are typically longer and self-contained, offering a complete story arc with a distinct beginning, middle, and end, similar to a traditional novel. Comic books, on the other hand, are typically serialized, presenting a story in shorter, episodic installments, often leading to cliffhangers at the end of each issue. 2. Target audience and themes: While comic books traditionally were associated with younger audiences and often featured superheroes, graphic novels often target a broader audience, including adults, and can explore mature and complex themes. Sin City definitely falls into this category, delving into a gritty, film noir-inspired world with dark themes like crime, violence, and corruption. 3. Artistic and narrative complexity: Sin City's unique and stark black-and-white art style with occasional splashes of color, and its intricate, interconnected storylines and characters, elevate it beyond the typical expectations of a comic book. Graphic novels often prioritize deeper character development and sophisticated narratives, providing a more immersive reading experience than the episodic nature of comic books. 4. Publication and marketing: Sin City was initially published in both periodical format (in Dark Horse Presents) and then collected into trade paperbacks and hardcovers, which are formats typically associated with graphic novels and found in bookstores, rather than the traditional stapled pamphlets found on newsstands. The term "graphic novel" itself gained popularity to elevate the perception of comics and broaden their appeal beyond traditional comic book fans.

Richard Maurer

The rest of my enemies are ants, easily brushed off.

Joseph M Sica

Problem is Cruel Intentions is one of those hidden gems no body has seen. It's a great movie! To bad more ppl haven't seen it.

Richard Maurer

Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves did better on YouTube than Beverly Hills Cop, which was the number 1 most requested film on the PR list for years. D&D wasn’t even in the top 100.

TheSingulatarian

And yet "Sin City" is "Citizen Kane" next to "The Minecraft Movie".

Richard Maurer

Is it? Haven’t seen the Minecraft movie so I can’t judge. And I like Sin City better than Citizen Kane. Just because others think it’s one of the greatest movies doesn’t mean I have to agree. While it is definitely worth watching it’s also not the greatest film of all time except to some film critics and the people who follow them.

Mark White

Thanks Richard, that’s makes sense. I mean I don’t use Popcorn requests either, so I’m sure there are plenty others who don’t.

Mark White

Yep, I’ll go with that.

Clarence Newman

Strange. It says that I've received two replies but I only see the one from Mark.

Richard Maurer

There’s a lot of talk about the Popcorn Requests list below. And I thought I’d point out something the more casual user may not understand. You don’t have to find a film on the list to vote for it. You can search a films title and then a poster of the film will come up with a blue + sign next to it on the left hand side. When you click on this blue + you have voted for the movie. You can check it in My Requests in the drop down menu in the upper left hand corner, if you vote for a film it will appear in My Requests. All this might seem obvious to some but there has to be a reason the list stays so static for so long and some really popular films stay stuck way too far down the list. Maybe I’m wrong but I just don’t think that some of the people using it are taking the time to do anything other than vote on the films near the top.

Bill Isaacs

So it's a comic book on steroids. Got it. The bar is officially underground.

Richard Maurer

Sigh. I don’t think you “got it” at all. But whatever, you do you.

Richard Maurer

Lots of people only see what they want to see. It’s a sad state of affairs but there it is.

Mark White

Right Richard, I’m going to try and follow your instructions but it has never worked for me before. Here goes!

Richard Maurer

If it doesn’t work for you maybe you could get some help from Planner, the person in charge of it.

Richard Maurer

I can see clearly now, the rain is gone.

Clay F

A comic book on steroids might be a way to generally characterized an aspect of the graphic novel. Not sure how the "bar is officially underground." A graphic novel is a real and recognized category. While the overap of features can be blurred, the fact that there are graphic novels is not really complicated (not rocket science). A graphic novel is a novel in comic-strip format. Graphic novels are similar to comic books because they use sequential art to tell a story, but unlike comic books, graphic novels are generally stand-alone stories (including with more complex plots). Graphic novels are often published as a whole, self-contained story in a single book and available in book stores. Comic books, on the other hand, are often published in a serialized format, one chapter/issue at a time as available through comic retailers.

Clay F

I believe currently that Planner has to link you.

Mark White

Nope, same old same old! I have to link my Patreon to my account and then it asks for your pledge, whatever that is! Sorry, I have zero patience with this stuff! If it doesn’t work within a couple of clicks, I can’t be bothered! And don’t tell me I have to have more patience with tech, because that’s what my wife sez to me on a daily basis! 😆 Honestly me and tech!! Everything seams to have a bloody computer chip in it these days you can contact in your phone! Cars, fridge/freezers, washing machines, hell even my toothbrush! Why! Why do I need to know how long I brushed my teeth?! I know how long! Because I was the one bloody well brushing them! Sorry, rant over! Edit: and don’t even get me started on the dam round hoover thing that roams around the house randomly my wife bought the other week😡

Richard Maurer

Mark - hear you, computers, when they go wrong, are a real pain.

Story Archer

I can't even find the link to the page anymore. I'd think it would be easy to find...

Richard Maurer

Story Archer - just checked on my phone, the link is still in FAQ.

Nolofinwe

as much I can't stand De Niro who can only play a psychopath or gangster . Midnight run is a terrifically entertaining movie . Grodin is fantastic the perfect foil Looks like Sin City is gonna win it though

Chris Thom

He was pretty good as a very ordinary dad in Everybody's Fine (2009). Wish he would take more roles like that.

John Rando

“Can’t stand DeNiro” There’s a statement I’ve never heard in my life. And probably will never again. Haha Try Meet the Parents, A Bronx Tale, Silver Linings Playbook… he plays a wholesome, loving father in each of those

HappySad

Birdcage! Birdcage! Birdcage!

Clarence Newman

If I remember correctly, Cycle of the Werewolf by Stephen King was originally a graphic novel.

Bryan David

I was rooting Taxi Driver and Midnight Run...maybe next time Bobby D.

Joe J

Richard - Good news. Cassie confirmed in the Jaws 2 premiere chat that she will react to "Duel".

Silver Machine

Yep. We’ve got some real knuckleheads around here.

Richard Maurer

Did she say when? If she said October then it’s good news, bad news.

Joe J

Richard - Here's what Cassie said. "yes, it will be a Trick or Treat, heavy on the Treat, leading up to scary but not to scary Halloween, Halloween LITE if you will." So, just prior to October...I guess, lol.

Doug Fisher

I just realized that "Sin City" might traumatize Cass' (and Carly's if she watches) Frodo Baggins sensibilities. 🤣

The Writer Black

So Sin City's leading, which I like because I liked it, but Taxi Driver's 2nd to last which is a bit disappointing. Oh well, at least we'll see her reaction to Sin City, which is still good. Wonder how she'll like Marv or all the scantily cladness, lol.

Maisie

Oh my god I am SO HERE for it!!! I hope she knows what she's getting herself in for, though...

Joe J

Fair assumption that Sin City won't be her cup of tea (haha), but will be an interesting reaction for sure.

Richard Maurer

Not quite correct, Clarence. It was originally a calendar, believe it or not.

Doug Fisher

Yeah, I just dropped all expectations when it comes to polls Stick. It was the only way to keep my sanity. When "Live and Let Die" was one of the two Moore Bond films I realized that Polls live in Bizarro Land. Like you said, we just have to cross our fingers for PPOTM, or winning a quarterly Trivia.

Doug Fisher

I don't know what you are talking about G... I think she (or they) will love the new Frodo!! 😉🤣

Aaron Mann

Maybe Cassie will take more of a liking to Clive Owen, and we can get a Children of Men watch after Sin City.

Richard Maurer

Hey Silver Machine, you might want to check the rules of conduct on the FAQ page. If I have to follow those rules, so do you.

Doug Fisher

What no love for "Pure Luck"?! 😉 I think "The Three Amigos" was his best film... but as you say IMHO.

Miss Lee

Midnight Run pleaaase

Shehab Dawoud

You just contradicted yourself. You say he can only play a psychopath or a gangster, yet you say you like Midnight Run, where he is neither of those things. Make it make sense. Other movies where he is neither of those things: The Deer Hunter, The King of Comedy, Awakenings, A Bronx Tale, Cop Land, Wag The Dog, Silver Linings Playbook. There are many others. Just say you can't stand him because he speaks up against your beloved president. You'd get more respect for being honest.

Shehab Dawoud

I just thought it would be a little bit closer, it has no chance right now.

james sweeney

Midnight Express would be better.

kaiielle

@Silver - Those "knuckleheads" clearly enjoy Sin City, hence why it's winning the poll. No name calling, please. Be kind.

Paul Cox

Was happier in the earliest hours of the poll when the lighter films were leading. Why y'all always gotta go dark?

Richard Maurer

You don’t know the power of the dark side.

Richard Maurer

Shehab - I have that thought about films I like in about 90% of the polls here.

Shehab Dawoud

@Richard Well you got one now. Enjoy!

Clay F

Nice thought. +1 for Children of Men

Stick Figure Studios

If you think DeNiro can only play a gangster or psychopath, then you haven't seen enough DeNiro.

Stick Figure Studios

My last would be CRUEL INTENTIONS, but thankfully it is in last place.

Stick Figure Studios

Yeah, I remember when LOLD won. They was one of the most disappointing results of a poll I've ever seen.

Joe J

Duel is a win for me, whenever she watches it. Without some occasional movie wins, I would question why I'm still here on patreon.

Clay F

A respectable 3rd place in this poll with 6 good choices.

Dean Holt

I’ve said the same quite a few times. I think most of Cassie’s patrons hate comedy.

Clay F

MARK The old instructions to link your Patreon to Popcorn Requests don't work because the Planner is in the middle of reconstructing the PR app. Now, the only way is for the Planner to set you up (link you) for PR. What you do is post a request on Discord for the Planner to link you (set you up). I see those requests to the Planner posted regular on Discord. The Planner is responsive. But you may not be on Discord. Similarly, Clarence is not on Discord, so I (on behalf of Clarence) posted the request to the Planner on Discord to link Clarence to PR. The Planner then did so link Clarence. I think the Planner may have contacted Clarence (by email maybe?). It was successful. Clarence is now set up to use Popcorn Requests. It was simple, easy, quick -- the Planner does the work (not you). Lastly, note that the PR app is going through a major re-do (re-programming) by the Planner and I think will be awesome (e.g., the interface) and you won't have to go through the Planner. Will be simple. The Planner is doing a great job but is a busy dude -- apparently in college -- yet the new PR will be here eventually. In the meantime, I can send your request to the Planner (as I did for Clarence) on Discord to link you to the current PR.

Clay F

MARK Please confirm that you want me to ask the Planner on Discord to link you to the app (Popcorn Requests) -- so that you will be set up to use the app.

Above Average Dave

Really disappointed MIDNIGHT RUN is not the leader here. I mean, I love SIN CITY, but it's the closest thing to a Tarantino film that's been made in the last several years. And we know how much Cassie loves those...NOT!

Happy Hanukkah

The current ranking is: 1. darker 2. lighter 3. lighter 4. lighter 5. darker 6. darker I am unconvinced by your thesis.

Joe J

Clay - Planner seems to not have the time to work on it in a timely fashion. I've heard about updates coming for quite awhile now, but no EToC is given. Have you ever used Jen Murray's app? If so, is it more functional than what we have?

Henry Graham

Yeah, having just recently re-watched The Deer Hunter and been moved to tears by De Niro's astonishingly understated and nuanced performance, my mind is boggled by this statement.

Happy Hanukkah

I actually enjoyed the previous year's King Arthur, alongside Keira Knightley. (And also Ioan Gruffudd, who played Reed Richards in the previous Fantastic Fours. Therefore Cassie *must* watch King Arthur, it is kismet!)

Henry Graham

It's just a school play version of Dangerous Liaisons.

Joe J

Still a horse race. Most single voting polls cap out at around 1,400 votes.

Clay F

Joe -- yeah, a long while. That's why I wouldn't count on it but instead continue to use the current PR (and get the Planner to link you if new to PR). I think the guy is a volunteer at PiB. One potential positive is that Cassie mentioned the revamped PR in the live last week. But to all: don't worry about it (the revamp) and instead use the current PR which is easy to get the Planner to link you and easy to use -- and good features. You can definitely sway the PR rankings. Only takes a handfull of added upvotes on a movie to have signficant impact on the ranking of that movie. PR (e.g., 1-300) may be the basis for more polls on a regular basis. Get your upvotes in at PR to have influence. ONLY TAKES 21-22 TOTAL VOTES at PR to GET A MOVIE into the TOP 300.

She loved “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” and recently said that, if she watched “Pulp Fiction” now, she’d probably like it better than she did at the time.

LukeG84

I can’t believe Sin City is beating The Birdcage. 🤯 Here’s hoping people who voted for movies that unfortunately won’t win switch their vote before this poll ends and let Cassie watch something she’ll actually love, and one that Carly can watch too.

Chris Thom

Think she may've secretly adored Kill Bill.

Bill W

Not many people use the app. It has 64 votes on there. Maybe some of the people who voted for it there have left Patreon.

Clay F

Sin City will make for a great reaction. Plus, Cassie likes Bruce Willis. I've watched Sin City a few times. While I like noir (neo-noir), I was unsure if Sin City was my kind of movie when released. When I finally watched Sin City a couple of years after release, I was blown away and very entertained. I like the story. The visual stunning. The dialogue = my favorite aspect. Mickey Rourke portrays my favorite character. For those of you who were fans of Roger Ebert: Sin City (2005) "It's a visualization of the pulp noir imagination, uncompromising and extreme. Yes, and brilliant." --Roger Ebert (score 4/4). The Birdcage (1996) is funny and I will be ok if The Birdcage wins. Hope one day she reacts to Taxi Driver (1976) [AFI Top 100]. Every reactor should have a Taxi Driver reaction notch on their reactor belt.

John Drake

She's gonna freak when she sees what Frodo got up to!

Clay F

Marv is my favorite character. I think she will appreciate Marv.

Stick Figure Studios

Yeah, I've been wanting a MIDNIGHT RUN reaction for years. This is the closest we've gotten to actually getting one. So close and yet so far.

Joe J

I think she'll watch the Top 2, why not get a couple of reactions out of all this, lol.

Dustin Taylor

no interest in any of these (as usual)

My_Cousin_Mose

I'm also hoping for The Birdcage but Cassie could end up really liking Sin City. She has spoken very highly of Fury Road several times since watching it. I know not quite the same but both are considered "guy movies".

Clay F

That’s what I was thinking.

K T

Children of Men by Cuaron is a true masterpiece

David

I don't find any great choices here.

Canadianant

I thought it would be midnight run or taxi driver. Hopefully these will still get a watch somehow later on. I don't really remember watching sin City so I can't comment on that one and I don't think I've watched The Birdcage in a long time so I don't really remember that either.

Clarence Newman

Just watched Midnight Run tonight for the first time in 30 years and it's every bit as good as I remember. It's not going to win this poll, but I strongly recommend that Cassie keep it as a possible PPOTM. Cassie! Think Planes, Trains and Automobiles but with less emphasis on the comedy. There's a lot of humour still in there, and the dynamic between DeNiro and Grodin is every bit as good as Candy and Steve Martin. Lots going on, entertained me from start to finish, and you will never regret putting it on the roster. Oh, and it's got Taggart from Beverly Hills Cop in it too. How can you go wrong?

Just Plain Bob

Grodin never got his just due as an actor. He had fantastic comedic talent and the acting chops to go serious when he needed to.

Clarence Newman

I was never a fan, Bob, but that scene in the bar where him and DeNiro are checking the 20s.....pure genius.

LukeG84

It’s no contest. The Birdcage is one Cassie would have watched before the channel had she known about it. I was shocked to discover she hadn’t already seen it tbh. Lucky us, if it wins that is.

Ted Whalen

Clay F

That looks cool.

Mark White

Thank you Clay, very kind of you to offer. I am on Discord, so I should do it myself. I just find Discord somewhat confusing to use. But I will contact planner at some point. I just need to put some time aside to do so. I know for many people on here it’s probably simple and quick, but I have found anything involving tech/new apps/computers frustrating at first. My brain doesn’t work that way! 😆 Give me anything where I have to use a tool and I’m fine. But, thanks for the offer.

JohnnyUtah

I'm not sure how sin city is going to go, I love the movie but will Cassie? Hey if she's gonna handle GoT she's gotta handle the city of sin.

Stick Figure Studios

@Bob: Grodin was a comedic genius. I first saw him in GREAT MUPPET CAPER as a kid (though most people know him from BEETHOVEN) but really grew to love him after seeing HEARTBREAK KID and MIDNIGHT RUN.

Stick Figure Studios

"Why aren't you popular with the Chicago Police department?*

Tyler Hale

She’s never done GoT?

Tyler Hale

It took me a few seconds to get that.

JohnnyUtah

To my knowledge she's watching it for the first time

Mojo One Thousand

"Cruel intentions" was second to last for me, but only because it has a bit more nostalgia for me compared with "Sin City". I would probably rather have "Dangerous Liaisons" over "Cruel intentions".

Tim Weaver

Had to go innerspace

Clay F

In the Extra Butter Live this evening, the discussion was lively before and after the movie watchalong. Only about 30 patrons, so chat feels like you are interacting with her. The Extra Butter Lives are a nice benefit of the Extra Butter level. Plus, have the Extra Butter Chat. Plus, just a way to further support. The kind of stuff you get in an Extra Butter Live is divulged below = see rough notes below on some of the discussion this evening: 1. She said she watched The Pianist and that it was horrific and will be up soon. (She did say Schindler’s List was even more horrific for her.) 2. This week = Mad Max 3 (the live watchalong to be posted to Patreon), Bridge of Spies, and Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story. 3. She agreed that MM3 seemed liked 2 sequential movies. During the 2nd part, analogies were made to Lord of the Flies in the chat. She may rewatch Fury Road on her own. She could react to Furiosa. 4. Next week = winner of the poll (probably Sin City), Thunderbolts, and Game of Thrones. In the poll, she voted for Midnight Run but would react to Birdcage before Midnight Run. Though likely winner Sin City is apparently only one on schedule? 5. A.I. pushed to week after next. 6. Her favorite Mad Max in order = Fury Road, Road Warrior, MM1, MM3. Me and others agreed. 7. August PPOTM is apparently undecided. 8. End of September = maybe Duel but no promises. 9. October brainstorm = Sinners, Nosferatu (3, 2, and maybe 1), etc., etc. Many movies mentioned but nothing decided. 10. A reaction to Who Framed Roger Rabbit may be relatively soon? 11. For August, she asked what should the next poll be, and what should her PPOTM be. 12. She thinks Game of Thrones will be super fun. Will hopefully bring some new folks to the community. For those who are not fans of the show, we’ll still have two other great movies going on every week – gonna try to do a "vast diverse range of movies." She said “Yeah, it’s going to be great. I’m a little scared.” 13. To avoid spoilers, she asked that no comments on Game of Thrones be made on Update or Poll posts, and she is not going to read YT comments. She said she did find out a couple of weeks ago that Pedro was in GoT. 13. Might do GoT palate cleanser polls. She mentioned Twins. I mentioned Lost in Translation but I don’t think noticed. 14. Apocalyptic movies were discussed. For various reasons, Children of Men piqued her interest – and of course I pushed that. 15. She thinking to continue the PR polls (e.g., 1-50 one month, 1-100 the next month, etc.) but asked if we preferred genre polls.

Clay F

She has never reacted to a long series.

JohnnyUtah

She simply cannot skip, she'll be incredibly lost

TheSingulatarian

Dystopia. I got some dystopia. The Stand (1994) this I think Cassie would enjoy this very much. It is 6 hours, however. The Road (2009) Another movie that would be in Cassie's wheelhouse. The Omega Man (1971) Dawn of the Dead (1978) The Book of Eli (2010) A Boy and His Dog (1975) Waterworld (1995) Mad max on water with Kevin Costner. Daybreakers (2009) 30 Days of Night (2007)

Joe J

Thanks Clay. She did tell me in the "Jaws 2" premiere that she is reacting to "Duel", and she did indicate just before October.

John Liebling

You're correct regarding dancing talent, but for pure cuteness...hands down its Ginger Rogers.

Clay F

Joe -- yeah that's consistent with what she said in the Extra Butter Live

Clarence Newman

Cassie will enjoy Game of Thrones. It will take her a while to acclimatise to the environment (you aren't going to be in Kansas anymore, Dorothy), but once she does, she's going to be hooked. Not much else in Clay's list below that jumps out at me (Duel and Twins, that's about it), but at least I'll have a Thrones vid once a week. Gonna try one more time to persuade Cassie to end her monkey marathon with Every Which Way But Loose. Cassie, it's so much fun, you would really enjoy it. You've never mentioned it, so I don't think it's on your radar, but all I ask is you keep it in mind as a palate cleanser.

Richard Maurer

Good news about Thunderbolts and (hopefully) Sin City. Bad news is the start of having only 2 movies to watch and nothing else starting next week.

Variable38

It's a shame about Innerspace. Its a fantastic movie she'd really like, maybe love, and now its probably never going to happen.

Clay F

2 movies + at least 1 episode of GoT every week. Will be awesome.

Clay F

3rd to last but only 1% behind Midnight Run.

Richard Maurer

Like I said Clay - nothing else. Only awesome for people who want to watch GoT. The rest of us are just losing 1 movie a week.

Mark White

Thank you for this Clay, really appreciate the update. It’s nice to know what’s on the horizon. I do hope we get Duel. 🫰

Mark White

Yep, I’m looking forward to a Thunderbolts reaction.

Mark White

“Every which but loose”is very much a palate cleanser. I was thinking of making a point of this one in the comments for the next weekly update.

Clarence Newman

Richard, you are self-flagelating at this point. You've made it clear that you hate Season 8 like it stole your car and pooped in your porridge, but are you saying you can't enjoy the early seasons because of it? You can always bail at the end of Season 7, but you'd get some righteous view-time in first.

J RR

Have you seen ‘Dead Again’ with Emma Thompson?

Richard Maurer

Clarence - No I can’t enjoy the rest of the series. I haven’t done a rewatch and have no intention of doing so. Season 8 destroyed the entire series for me. It’s no different than watching a really good movie only for it to have a final act so awful that it ruins the entire movie. At most I may watch selected episodes here and there. And I’ll most likely show up for S8 just to hate post about how awful it was. I did this on Natalie Gold’s channel, it was fun because she was finding it just as terrible as many of her fans did - like watching a train wreck with someone new getting to experience the despair. It may not be the same with Cassie though, she’s a much more forgiving reactor than Natalie.

Richard Maurer

I accept that she’s decided to watch Got. But I’m not going to pretend to be happy about it - that would be dishonest. At this point I’ll probably just stop posting about it till it mercifully ends. Maybe she’ll watch House of the Dragon afterwards. That’s an actually good series - so far.

Nolofinwe

your jokin right /the character is a psychopath -very sympathetic I agree -but my point is that DiNiro can only play psychopaths, even if they're tragic like this one or comedic like the Billy Crystal comedies

Nolofinwe

ill wait for an example. Lol

Nolofinwe

of course he is he's an angry disconnected divorced nasty hateful bounty hunter Charles Grodin is the one who lightens the ambience of the movie

Nolofinwe

Of course he is he's nasty hateful he's divorced can't relate to his daughter that was an uncomfortable scene he's nasty to Marvin to the FBI agents and to Charles grodin until Charles manages to humanize him a little bit . lol ()

Nolofinwe

Meet the parents he's a psycho lie detector tests come on silver lining playbook is fish fighting with the son everybody in the neighborhood psycho with OCD and his gambling it turns out all right in the head but the whole family is nuts I'm from south Philly dude I'm an Eagles fan I know what I'm talking about. haha

Joe J

I'll definitely pop in for a look see for some of the more harrowing episodes. You know, the ones where Cassie will need to be peeled off the ceiling. 😉

Shehab Dawoud

Is his character in A Bronx Tale a psychopath too? The protective father who doesn’t want his son to get caught up in the mafia environment. Or his character in Awakenings? Stop chatting nonsense, you sound very ignorant.

Joe J

Richard - Cassie heard you on "Thunderbolts". She is listening to us.

Joe J

For me, Midnight Run was just okay. Reminded me of one those Stephen Cannell or Glen Larsen TV movies. Just had that vibe.

Nolofinwe

Even psychos love their children in their own way , but look , he's so obsessed with keeping his son away from the gangsters ... because he's got that attitude .. I think it's part of the character. he doesn't treat his son lovingly, everything in that movie is anger, wise guys, the kids are wiseguys , he just doesn't want his son to be part of that world , and he thinks he's fighting a losing battle so he's even more angry and in the end willing to die by Sonny's hand if necessary. this makes the him sympathetic , its still wiseguy De Niro

Nolofinwe

Ignorant !? ever see De Niro interviewed

Joe J

Sin City will not be to her liking, lol. Having said that, her reaction will be quite animated and entertaining. That's what we want, right?

Mark White

I haven’t seen House of Dragon Richard, but I’ve got a cool story connected to it. I managed to sneak into one of the sets of house of dragon, when I was holidaying in Wales a couple of years ago. It was set up on the side of a mountain at a old mine. As I knew that mine like the back of my hand as I had been visiting/playing around there since I was about 7, I knew how to sneak around past the security and get onto the set looking out to sea. I got some cool photos! It’s at Yr Eifl Granite Quarry, Gwynedd. The village is called Trefor and I’ve been going there since I was a kid.

John Liebling

As well as can be expected my 94-year-old mom passed away June 8.

Shehab Dawoud

You just proved you're not to be taken seriously.

bgb1975 (Brian)

Innerspace is definitely better than Sin City, but not quite as good as Midnight Run or The Birdcage.

bgb1975 (Brian)

"The Great Muppet Caper" is probably the best of the Muppet movies!

bgb1975 (Brian)

I can't stand him, either, but Midnight Run is a great movie. Much better than Sin City.

Clarence Newman

Richard. I myself did a full rewatch of Game of Thrones earlier this year and came out feeling like the coroner of Munchkin City. Not only was it nearly good, it was really quite sincerely good. I will therefore enjoy it for the both of us.

Bill W

When she enjoys a film it is entertaining. They go hand in hand.

Bill W

Which of those movies are you saying has been made in the last several years?

Above Average Dave

I think in its character builds, camera angles, and dialogue, SIN CITY is very similar to KIL BILL 1 & 2 (which also plays out like a graphic novel), INGLORIOUS BASTERDS, HATEFUL 8 and DJANGO UNCHAINED. We could also add PULP FICTION and RESERVOIR DOGS if we want to discuss plot structure.

Richard Maurer

You do that, Clarence. I want to make it clear, I’m not trying to convince anyone not to watch GoT. These are my personal feelings and I don’t care one way or another if anyone else does or doesn’t watch GoT. If you still like the show, have fun watching it.

Clay F

I recently rewatched GoT and really enjoyed it. Great TV. I think overall, I prefer Sopranos, Breaking Bad, The Wire, or Mad Men -- but excited about GoT b/c stellar TV and strongly thinking her reaction will be very entertaining -- better than many of the movies she reacts to. What I am looking forward to is the constency of getting it every week including her focus on series arcs and character development -- listening to her evolving discussion -- something you don't get with a 2-hour movie. Cassie about series on PiB: “I’ve done obviously not as many shows [series] as I have done movies but some of my favorites have been the shows because I just feel like you get to know characters and look forward to characters. Seeing them in weekly episodes.”

Richard Maurer

HH - I honestly wasn’t going for that quote. Just a lucky coincidence.

Agnarr

That was very difficult to read.

Grad

"The rest of us are just losing 1 movie a week." Fewer horror movies in October ._.

Dean Holt

Been wanting Cassie to react to InnerSpace, The Last StarFighter, Flight of the Navigator & Batteries not included for ages. I really think she would enjoy all of them. But her just doing one or two would be awesome.

Clay F

For GoT, she is going to react to every episode. I hopw she does 2 episodes per week.

JohnnyUtah

Perfect, I'll be set for the next year. Lol

Chris Thom

Emma Thompson is great. Cassie would like her, I think. Last Chance Harvey was a good performance.

Chris Thom

That was some slam poetry. lol

Ty Kellington

Midnight Run is currently in third place. My disappointment in this community is immeasurable at the moment.

Richard Maurer

Just watched Sinners yesterday and I watched Robert Eggers version of Nosferatu a couple of weeks ago. Both are very good. I wouldn’t object to either or both for Halloween.

Just Plain Bob

Richard, if she’s using movies like “Twins” as palate cleansers we’re losing two movies a week. PS: Is there about to be a price drop on “Thunderbolts”? I’ve heard good things about it but there’s no way I’m paying the current asking price of $20.

Just Plain Bob

Clarence, about Richard’s disdain for GoT due to the last season and inability to enjoy the entire series as a result. I was married for five years. The first four were good and the fifth year we absolutely went off the rails. I do not remember the marriage fondly because of its catastrophic ending. GoT is like that, but the ending was worse.

LukeG84

Last chance people. It’s Sin City unless you change your votes The Birdcage before the poll ends. Midnight Run and Innerspace aren’t going to catchup I’m afraid. Let it go and do Cassie a favour. She’d love The Birdcage.

Allison

You should go ahead and watch the top 2 since it's so close. I'm just saying lol.

Chris Tucker

I can only presume not many people have seen "Taxi Driver."

YodatheHobbit

I first saw Innerspace when I was 5 on TV in 1988, and I knew it was a silly movie even at that age.

Grad

Richard: Same. But we need the 1922 Nosferatu as well. And the 1979 version.

Clay F

All 3 Nosferatu (including the 1922 silent version) were mentioned in the Live. I will not pay $20 to stream Thunderbolts but wait till the streaming price drops, as I did with Barbie. Also, as a Disney+ subscriber, I will be able to watched Thunderbolts for free on Disney+ (expected premier late August or early September). I can wait.

Paul Cox

I'd wager that plenty of people here have seen it, but voting in polls is less about which movie might subjectively be the best, but instead which movie might be the best match with the specific reactor to create the best reaction. My vote went to The Birdcage, but I fully understand why so many people chose Sin City instead.

Clint Patac

Is that “Innerspace” with Martin Short? Or am I thinking of another Innerspace?

Clay F

Yes, the “Innerspace” in the poll is with Martin Short. But has the wrong year -- should be 1987 instead of 1997.

Clay F

Three of my top requests for reactions have been Sin City (2005), Bridge of Spies, and The Pianist -- getting all 3 (The Pianist yesterday) with Sin City the likely poll winner here. I would also like a reaction to Taxi Driver (1976) -- hopefully one day. Sin City performing well in the poll. At least Taxi Driver isn't last place. Sin City (2005) - 24% The Birdcage (1996) - 22% Midnight Run (1988) - 15% Innerspace (1997) - 15% Taxi Driver (1976) - 13% Cruel Intentions (1999) - 11%

Rosario

Sin City is gonna be such a quality movie reaction video.

Richard Maurer

Grad - As little real horror that gets watched here doing all three Nosferatu movies would likely use up the spots for real horror movies. I would say she could skip the 79 version for now.

Richard Maurer

I checked and it said Thunderbolts will be streaming on Disney+ late July to early August. Since July is basically over it will probably be early August.

Richard Maurer

Taxi Driver is the only movie older than the 80’s Clay. I’m surprised it didn’t come last considering how bad anything that isn’t from the 80’s on usually does.

I don’t understand this community. Here’s hoping Cassie decides to watch second place too so she can be as perplexed as I am that Sin City beat it.

Cassie and Carly watching the birdcage is a must fortunately for us, she’ll defo do top 2 😁

It is not unusual to see smug superiority combined with execrable reading comprehension.

I'm happy with the results for first and last place, so all's well on Earth. :-) Now we'll find out just how much Cassie will vibe or not with Sin City. (The original THEATRICAL version!!!)

Theodore - you actually didn’t get it. I was saying that any pre-eighties film tends to do poorly on a poll. I am a fan of Taxi Driver. I wrote bad, but poorly would have been a better choice of words, My only excuse is that I was in a bit of a hurry when I wrote that post.

Richard Maurer

This is one of the relatively rare occasions when the right film wins the poll. Nice going everyone who voted for Sin City. You could have made Taxi Driver second and Top Secret! third though, so there’s still room for improvement. ;-)

The Birdcage rates higher on Rotton Tomatoes than Sin City... just sayin...

Wait, what is that I’m reading on the fine print? “The top 3 votes will all get a reaction”. Excellent😁

Sin City winning is no surprise to me. It's the most recent film and many patrons are likely to remember it more than some of the other films. It's very likely Cassie will also watch Birdcage.

Sin City is great & Cassie will hate it, lol

Andrew Heller

Agreed…sin city has a stellar cast, great visuals, and good stories…is it violent and maybe not cassies favorite thing to watch? Sure but ill be there for the reaction

Innerspace & Midnight Run are delightful. When they slipped in the polls I revisited. Innerspace held up incredibly well given the limitations of fx at the time.

Taxi driver is a sad and depressing. Bland fest.

Taxi Driver is probably not ever going to win a Patreon poll but it is absolutely one of those "culturally significant" motion pictures that suddenly make other motion pictures that reference it, and that WILL win a Patreon poll, suddenly make sense, not to mention it's historical significance as the motion picture that was the genesis of John Henkley Jr's obsession with Jodie Foster that led him to be standing on a sidewalk outside of a hotel in Washington DC one afternoon lying in wait as President Ronald Reagan and several of his advisers left an event putting them all within near fatal range of Henkley's concealed handgun.

The Birdcage is one of those culturally significant motion pictures that WILL win a Patreon poll and millions of people have enjoyed the motion picture just fine without knowing anything about it's background or it's storyline, but knowing something about how a French stage play that was intentionally requested of a well known gay actor/playwright ended up on Broadway featuring a Tony Award winning book(script) by Harvey Fierstein (Mrs Doubfire, Independence Day) to eventually becoming one of director Mike Nichols' and actor Robin Williams' most successful and beloved motion pictures does significantly heighten your appreciation for the film and why it is still 30 years later, as of 2026, the #2 top grossing LGBTQ motion picture of all time.
