Bill Maurer

Great 80's movie highlighting the Cold War. Thanks for reacting to it

Brian McGovern

I would like to know, how many tried to make a phone call from a public phone using the method shown in this movie? 😄

Brian McGovern

Just started watching and it is pretty sad that the first 2 people we see in this movie have passed. Michael Madsen only recently.

Ace Degenerate

Totally forgot Michael Madsen was in this

Brent Petty

Is there a full-length reaction I missed on here?

Mark Vaderr

Great work, Cassie. Gave me flashbacks of your "Crimson Tide" reaction. Greetings Professor Falken.

Chris Thom

The search bar makes things easier to find than scrolling down.

Phil Stubblefield

"Greetings, Professor Popcorn! Shall we play a game?" 😁

Frank

Please do AIRPORT from 1970!!!

John Deardurff

Speaking of 80s movies: Today, Aug 7th, is the 40th anniversary of "Real Genius" with Val Kilmer... which has the BIGGEST popcorn scene of all time!

I think that Colossus: The Forbin Project (1969) was the first movie of the AI run-amok genre.

Chris

Seeing this on a movie screen with all the flashing towards the end was amazing! I loved this movie as a young man (it may have had something to do with how cute Ally Sheedy was)..

Michael Siegel

You're younger than me -- I was 13 when this came out -- and it came in a context where we were expecting a nuclear war to break out at any moment. So this movie felt all too real. Watching it again with you shows that it has aged quite well (unlike some 80's movies). Just solid performances, musics and directing all around.

Cory H

Cassie, I like that you recognized that this was Whitey from OTH!

Bill W

3 people. Art La Fleur (The Sandlot, Field of Dreams) died in 2021. Also, Dabney Coleman died last year.

Bill W

The original Mac Guyver.

Bill W

This came out in June '83. Five months later we'd have another cinematic nuclear scare: made for tv movie "The Day After" (starring Jason Robards) aired on ABC. Sobering to say the least.

Chris Davis

I hope her next '80's movie will be my Pick, "Best of Times" with Robin Williams and Kurt Russell....I won't rest until she sees this movie!!!

TheSingulatarian

There was also "The Invisible Boy" (1957) and other rampaging robot movies like "Gog" (1954).

ArsTropica

A lot of that uncertainty back then came from an information vacuum. Take away the internet and this seems very plausible.

TheSingulatarian

Cassie and Carly were bemoaning recently the lack of modern romance or romantic comedies. So, I say look back young woman look back. On the Town The Philadelphia Story In the Good Old Summertime Marty Easter Parade The Band Wagon Love Story The Way We Were Murphy's Romance An Affair to Remember Urban Cowboy And many, many more.

TheSingulatarian

That guy you recognized but didn't recognize was on "The West Wing" perhaps that's where you know him from.

Brian McGovern

I thought she had already done this one. Maybe I watch too many reactors who have done this one. TBR Schmitt, JustSumm, Christie reacts are the only ones I watch.

Bill W

A few months later ABC aired the made-for-tv movie The Day After.

Michael Siegel

They Day After. Man, that was intense on a 13 y/o.

Johnny Salinas

A good one for Father's Day next could be Max Dugan Returns 😀 Matthew Broderick is a kid in that one as well

Clay F

+1 for Urban Cowboy +1 for The Philadelphia Story As for modern 'non-traditional' romances, I suggest: -Lost in Translation (2003) -Vicky Cristina Barcelona. I would like to see more romance on the channel.

A random list of Romance/Romatic Comedies/Star-Crossed Romances that Cassie has yet to see. (ADDED: Cassie and Carly — knowing your long-abiding Health Ledger love/swoonage, CASSANOVA is a very underated film that you must see somewhere along the way, whether for The Channel™ or in the screening room with your gfs/female cousins). HIS GAL FRIDAY (Cary Grant, Rosalind Russel) HOLIDAY (Cary Grant, Katherine Hepburn) THE PHILADEPHIA STORY (Cary Grant, Katherine Hepburn, Jimmy Stewart) CASSANOVA (Health Ledger, Sienna Miller) THE SECRET OF MY SUCCESS (Michael J Fox, Helen Slater, Margaret Whitton) DOC HOLLYWOOD (Michael J Fox, Julie Warner) MOONSTRUCK (Nicholas Cage, Cher) MARRIED TO THE MOB (Michelle Pfeiffer, Matthew Modine) SOMETHING WILD (Melanie Griffith, Jeff Daniels) GET SHORTY (John Travolta, Rene Russo, Gene Hackman) OUT OF SIGHT (George Clooney, Jennifer Lopez) THE THOMAS CROWN AFFAIR (Pierce Brosnan, Rene Russo) THE FABULOUS BAKER BOYS (Michelle Pfeifer, Jeff Bridges, Beau Bridges) A VERY LONG ENGAGEMENT (Audrey Tautou, Gaspard Ulliel, Jodie Foster) THE BRIDGES OF MADISON COUNTY (Clint Eastwood, Meryl Streep) THE HORSE WHISPERER (Robert Redford, Kristen Scott-Thomas) A ROOM WITH A VIEW (Julian Sands, Helena Bonham-Carter, Daniel Day Lewis) DR. ZHIVAGO (Omar Sharif, Julie Christie) THE ENGLISH PATIENT (Ralph Finnes, Juliet Binoche, Kristin Scott Thomas) OUT OF AFRICA (Meryl Streep, Robert Redford) WINGS OF DESIRE (Bruno Ganz, Solveig Dommartin, Peter Falk) GONE WITH THE WIND (Clark Gable, Vivian Leigh) GIANT (Rock Hudson, Elizabeth Taylor, James Dean)

Joe J

Winter came for Cassie last night...she started GoT. 😳

Clay F

What a good list. My favorites off your list: THE PHILADEPHIA STORY OUT OF SIGHT (George Clooney, Jennifer Lopez) THE HORSE WHISPERER (Scarlett Johansson at 13 years old) THE ENGLISH PATIENT

Above Average Dave

Thank you, Clay. A lot of these are waiting to be rediscovered by anyone born after 1990. I tried to go from lightest to more star-crossed and ended with one that was heavenly (literally) and two sagas. Also, the comic timing of some of these performers (Melanie Griffith, Rene Russo, Gene Hackman and Rosalind Russell) is often overlooked and, sadly by HWood, was under-used.

Clay F

Yeah, all the movies on your list are significant. For instance, Something Wild (which I liked) got good reviews and put Melanie Griffith on the map, even before Working Girl. Plus, I am a fan of Jeff Daniels.

Above Average Dave

Who isn't a fan of Jeff Daniels!? Just a great everyman-type actor who can also bring the gravitas (and the wry comedy) when a script calls for it. These would all — ALL — be Cassie Approved and likely titles she'd chat up to her gfs, bookclub and cousins once she experienced.

David

A very watchable list !

Jim Lovell, the Commander of Apollo 13, passed away today at age 97(!). I know the movie of the same name with Tom Hanks really moved Cassie. Lovell actually had a cameo in that as the admiral who meets the Apollo 13 crew on the carrier deck. God's speed, sir, and thank you for your service and leadership.

Chris B.

Was just coming to bring this up, sad news but at the same time: what a time he had in this life, and now I'm sure he's being welcomed into the next adventure by some of his old friends from the program, such as the Apollo 1 crew.

Mannygogou

oh I was trying to figure out whose face that was...

The director's cut of KINGDOM OF HEAVEN is a completely different movie than the theatrical release, and far superior. Typical HWood: Don't trust audiences to sit through a longer movie that's worth their time, but moan and penalize the director for a cut he didn't want that rips apart all the character development and drama. I'm also looking at you, studio execs who hacked up ONCE UPON A TIME IN AMERICA, and a half dozen other films to their detriment.

Clay F

I almost always suggest theatrical cut for a first watch. But Kingdom of Heaven is a rare exception in which I recommend the director's cut for a first watch -- makes more sense and the way Ridley Scott intended. The theatrical cut is too chopped up and almost nonsensical.

Above Average Dave

Agree. There are a very few that benefit from the Director's Cut, but this is one of them.

Clay F

Some director's cuts (a few are money grabs) are ok, but I generally suggest to people to watch the theatrical first, and then decide if they want to watch the director's cut. However, for Kingdom of Heaven = skip the theatrical version.

Clay F

THE BLUES BROTHERS (1980) [IMDb 7.9, RT Audience 92%]. Not only is The Blues Brothers at No. 2 on Popcorn Requests, but debuted at #2 at the box office on opening weekend behind "The Empire Strikes Back". Canadian Dan Aykroyd. John Belushi. Musical action comedy film directed by John Landis. Funny and unique, and a classic. The Blues Brothers were on SNL in the late 1970s -- I watched SNL backed then. Dan Aykroyd's exposure to the blues began in his formative years growing up in Ottawa, Canada -- at a nightclub called Le Hibou, which played a significant role in his early blues education. As a teenager at that club in Ottawa, Aykroyd was able to witness performances by legendary blues musicians.

Catherine LW

A Room With a View! Oh I love that film! So funny, romantic and frustrating (initially). Cassie should watch some Merchant-Ivory films, which peaked in the 90’s. Besides, you get a great tour of Florence, Italy in Room.

Catherine LW

Another Merchant-Ivory film is The Remains of the Day, with Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson. Underrated film with Hopkins at his understated best. Written by the award winning Japanese author Kazuo Ishiguro, it is a story about the perfect English butler who has a dilemma in serving his master, Lord Darlington, or following his conscience during WWII. Excellent character development and writing- very subtle and poignant performances by all. It was astonishing to me how a Japanese person deeply understood the character and morality of the British.

Cole Jennett

Kingdom of Heaven is the “only” movie I recommend the non-theatrical version for a first time watch

Cole Jennett

There’s actually only 2 movies from that list that I have any real interest in her watching. Wonder Woman, and Donnie Brasco. Not to say there aren’t a couple I’d like, like Kingdom of Heaven, just in no rush

Carlos Stevens

"it's the microphone..." Some how... I'm skeptical.

Tim C

Surprised it was #1 I have seen it .

Shawn Kildal

The MNF watching scene is hilarious!!

Stephen Dias

As with several of these movies, it's been a while since I've seen this one. I've always enjoyed it, but it is very 80's. The two guys in the beginning are John Spencer and Michael Madsen. They would become more popular in future movies; I had no idea they were in this. The one thing about the movie that I find least believable is that they let the kid take control in the end, instead of the professor. I'm sure they wanted to keep broad appeal and the PG rating. Seeing Matthew Broderick and John Wood together makes me think of "Ladyhawke."

Cole Jennett

The guy who created the computer program is Sabrina’s dad, the chaeuffer, from the remake. I can’t believe it took you that long to recognize Whitey. I initially thought it was edited out because I thought his voice was so recognizable and you’d have known it was him immediately.

Daniel Doble

Cass, OMG. I am rolling on the floor... "Is he eating at this point?" Oh, man... so funny. RED MAN.. Chewing tobacco.
