Pollception winner was surprisingly "Cassie Picks!" so here we go! See? Not all romcoms! I have an ongoing list of things I want to see and I picked some from there! Honestly have no clue what will win!

THIS IS POLL 2 of 2! Make Sure to check out and vote on BOTH! Multiple choice voting, poll ends in 48 hours and then the top 2 from each will go to a final poll!

Thank you, muah!

Stepmom for the waterworks

Rosario Cicero

Man I hope J VS V prevails. It’s a brilliantly quirky rom com that’s got Cassie written all over it

Bill Maurer

Payback, though it will take a miracle to win. More GoT, please 😁😁😁

Jake McNulty

Wow this was easy, first time on a poll where there was only one film of interest to me. No contest, I'm going with "Sleepers".

Devon Caitlin

You really can't go wrong with any one of these. Man in the Iron Mask is phenomenal, but you seem to WANT to watch more Brad Pitt, and I can't blame you for that

Macabre Movie Maniac

If The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo wins Cassie is going to have a hard time with that one particular scene. "I forgot to ask you...." 😅

Uncle Phoenix

I just saw an interview with Brad Pitt; and he said that “Life As A House” (2001) with Kevin Klein moved him to tears and had a profound effect on him. Just Saying.

Uncle Phoenix

AND I just want to say that I definitely didn’t vote for Dragon Tattoo.

Matt Rose

Not HOPE FLOATS, good God. My wife and I agree it's the worst film that we've ever seen. Every bad movie that we see is compared to it.

Steven Fordham

Lots of recency bias here. Joe vs the Volcano. I'm betting that more than half the people voting haven't even seen it. Early Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. It's a fun movie.

Simmeland

Such a shame if Cassie watch the remake before the original of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.

Story Archer

I've been waiting for Cassie to watch Stepmom forever. I don't think there's another film on either poll which would mean as much to her.

Nick Ireland

Stepmom is the most "Cassie" movie on here, I think. I'd love to see your reaction, but I'd also be very happy with a Dragon Tattoo re-watch.

Art of Free Speech

I just adore Hope Floats, but it's nearly in last place. Oh well.

Milton Reduxed

You people are really going to pick the Girl With Dragon Tattoo REMAKE over Sleepers which is a bona fide modern classic!?

bknsty14

In a perfect world, we get Donnie Brasco and Sleepers. Unfortunately, we don’t live in that world.

Erik Locquiao

The Man in the Iron Mask, what a nostalgic hit

Tyler Foster

The problem with "not only romcoms" is that there are many people here who think you should never watch them because they aren't outside of your comfort zone! When it's Cassie's picks I kinda *want* a rom-com to win. Don't give them a choice! But I guess that's what your PPotM is for...

Chris Retzlaff

Joe vs a Volcano!!! Is on a movie poll!!! That in itself is a win in my book.....I love Joe!! Where's my Orange crush

Tara ✨💫

The Man in the Iron Mask came out right after Titanic with Leo, Jeremy Irons, John Malkovich, Gabriel Byrne and Gerard Depardieu. Love this movie!

Scott

Payback is the best revenge movie ever

Cole Jennett

Since there’s no sequels, she can maybe do the Swedish trilogy afterwards

Clarence Newman

None of these are on my list, but still some good movies here. Joe versus the Volcano would be great for Cassie and Carly. The Judge is also very good.

Dean Holt

Gone for The Judge & Payback. Not really to bother about anything else, Joe Vs The Volcano not too bad but I thought Tom Hanks other movies around this time were better. - But we were so close too an 90s Action poll, I could hear all the corny lines 😂

K, Zachary

I thought for sure Fried Green Tomatoes would be on this list.

Above Average Dave

This poll's a bit edgier than #1. I will say that FINEST HOURS is a pretty amazing true story, and if anything underplays the heroism of Bernie Weber (played perfectly by Chris Pine). The book is worth the read. PAYBACK, based on a noir thriller by Richard Stark, has been made a few times but this version is closest to the vibe of the book and its main character. Mel Gibson kills it. Also, for those who are interested, the Swedish version of THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATOO is far superior to the American version. Noomi Rapace IS Lisabeth Salander.

FranciscoGios

TGWADT is pretty good. I'm sure you will be stunned how good the story was written and the movie directed the older version is also great.

Joel Baumgartner

Depends on which one. There are 2 versions, and only one is actually good.

Ike

Hope Floats. I offer no explanation except to say my first date with my wife was asking her to explain the gigantic 8 foot “Hope Floats” poster in her Anchorage, Alaska apartment. I have seen it eighteen (18) times since that night in 1998. I-think-everyone-should-watch-it-because-it-is-awesome-no-I-am-not-winking-nor-under-any-duress. 😳

Dan M

The selection here was not as definitive for me as the first poll, but I think you’d enjoy Leo DiCaprio in The Man in the Iron Mask. A fun take on the Three Musketeers story.

Tyler Foster

Maybe in the future when it's "Cassie's Polls" you do two and both go to the channel, and you have one with all rom-coms and one with every other kind of movie. Would like for the Moonstrucks and Joe Versus the Volcanos to have a chance against the Girl With a Dragon Tattoos and Donnie Brascos...

J

That you have not seen "Hope Floats" is a heck of a mystery.

Michael West

These are all solid films. I'm surprised you haven't seen "Hope Floats". It's a true Cassie movie with Sandra Bullock and Harry Connick Jr.

fire12wife

Hope Floats (1998) and Stepmom (1998) are both great films, but I had to pick Stepmom (1998)! I hope you get to watch them both eventually.... I know they won't win this poll!

Just Plain Bob

The remake is a shadow of the original. Rooney Mara is absolute crap as Lisbeth Salander. Noomi Rapace is the only Lisbeth; casting anyone else in the role is like re-casting Ripley in Alien. So disappointed that Cassie screwed this up. The original movie was better in every single respect.

Patrick

Such a disappointing collection...definate confirmation my favorite film only getting a reaction with win in monthly spin 2 win 🤣 lol

Brandon Melling

I don't think it's going to win, but I've always had a fondness for Joe vs. the Volcano. It's such a weird little movie and is completely unlike all of the other movies Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan were in together, but their chemistry is still just as undeniable.

Scott Macaulay

Dragon Tattoo always seemed like one of those dark ‘cool’ movies everyone likes but me. We’ll see.

Jay Jay Reyes

You have to watch The Judge with your dad Cassie.

Foggy

I doubt it will win but I really hope you get to watch Hope Floats at some point. That feels like a perfect Cassie movie!

Phil Stubblefield

I'm with you, Scott! I don't understand it's appeal, and I don't think Cassie will either. That's one I'll be skipping.

Henry Graham

Gosh, not a single one of these is doing it for me. The first poll is where the magic is at.

Archronos

Film is just another form of art, which is why we can have such polarising views with another person on what films are good and bad.

Cole Jennett

Hey, anytime Moonstruck in on a poll, and you get confirmation it’s on her radar, you can still take it as a win at least.😊

JohnnyUtah

These options are making me really wish 90s action won. 😆 but that's the way the cookie crumbles

Just Plain Bob

It’s tragic that Cassie put the wrong The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo on the poll. The original was SO MUCH better. I voted for Payback. It’s an excellent adaptation of the book The Hunter, which introduced the character of Parker, the best thief in literary history. Great series of novels that I highly recommend by author Donald Westlake (operating under the pseudonym Richard Stark).

Walter

Payback in my favorite on this list but there are a lot of good ones.

MikeLL

Not really invested in this side of the poll at all. The Towering Inferno has me by the throat at the other poll and won't let go.

Archronos

I don't think we'll ever see those reacted to by large channel reactors. The inferior remake replaced it in the timeline so far as people knowing of it because of the remake and not the Swedish originals. Adored it when I saw it years ago, had to see the whole trilogy.

Matt Dellarosa

Cassie im pretty sure you're not gonna like the girl with the dragon tattoo. But if it wins it wins.

MikeLL

Absolutely.

Story Archer

Tango & Cash is a guilty pleasure that Cassie would love.

Above Average Dave

Seconded all around. Westlake/Stark is right up there with Elmore Leonard and Jim Thompson.

Story Archer

That's funny, I felt the exact opposite.

JohnnyUtah

I knowwww too bad it was 1989 couldn't make the cut any way. Lol

Just Plain Bob

I LOVE Leonard and Thompson. Such great writers. I’d also throw in James M. Cain.

Jack

I think she’d really like The Man in the Iron Mask. It’s my #2 behind Lost in Translation on these polls.

Judy M. Goodman

As usual, I like the options with a high average vote count. I've seen The Girl with the Dragon Tatoo, but I don't remember anything about it. I know you like a wider range of genres, than I do, but Moonstruck & The Towering Inferno may better resonate with you.

Above Average Dave

Yes! I wrecked one of my shoulders and was home after surgery and watched all three (along with the entire run of 24 and a bunch of other films I had been meaning to get to). Btw, the first three seasons of 24 are dang near perfect.

Eric66F

If JOE VS… wins, my life will be complete! 😁

Cole Jennett

Cassie loves an investigative movie, and this may be one of the best from that standpoint. Tough scenes for sure, but she’s a trooper.

Matt Stafford

Instead of Payback please watch Point Blank, the 1967 version of the same novel. It's one of the half-dozen greatest movies of the sixties.

Gábor Árki

From this bunch I think I would like The Finest Hours the most. So, it will probably be among the last 3, because this year poll winners and my choices were almost distinct sets.

Larry Darrell

Opinion on Point Blank (1967), the first excellent film adapted from the novel, The Hunter?

Henry Graham

John Boorman said that when the studio tried to impose rewrites on Point Blank, Lee Marvin took their rewritten script and threw it out of the window. He then joked that perhaps a young Mel Gibson was was walking past the window at the time and picked it up, and that's how we ended up getting the terrible Payback.

Tyler Foster

True... Still, I want to be sure that there is a decent chance that it will move up the totem pole over time, and I think it would have a much stronger chance of doing that against other rom-coms. Part of it is also that... Sometimes when the community picks a movie, like Sin City for example, it almost feels mean! Obviously, she wants to see all these movies, so in this case, if the experience is intense, she picked the movies...but I also think the community could be more mindful of what will bring her joy!

Milton Reduxed

I disagree. It's emotional and dramatic, not a bad thing

Xavier Casanova

Joe vs. the Volcano is the kind of art pop movie they don't make anymore. On the surface it's a silly movie but the subtext is really profound.

Henry Graham

In 2005 I attended a screening of Point Blank at the BFI in London, with Boorman and Westlake doing a Q&A afterwards. Amazingly, they said it was the first time they'd ever met! I love Westlake, especially his Dortmunder novels. He was so ridiculously prolific I feel like I've just scratched the surface with him though!

Just Plain Bob

I love it. But I’m also a fan of Lee Marvin and 1960s-1970s era crime dramas, so I may inadvertently be grading on a curve. But I also think Payback is better.

Walter

That's funny but I disagree that Payback is a terrible movie.

Just Plain Bob

Henry, the Dortmunder novels are pure genius. The flip side of the Parker character coin. Unfortunately, I’ve never seen a movie adaptation of a Dortmunder novel that I cared for. George C. Scott and Robert Redford are both great actors but I didn’t think they captured the spirit of the character at all.

Patrick

Not complaining, I understand completely. Doesn't lessen the disappointment though lol

2-Can

Kind of hurts to see The Finest Hours doing so poorly here. True story, stars Capt. Kirk. It's Hurricane Season. Should be doing way better.

Cole Jennett

But then we wouldn’t get it on the channel😉

Cole Jennett

Is Brad Pitt in it? I thought it was Leo

LukeG84

How is Joe Versus the Volcano not crushing this poll? It’s a romantic comedy starting Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. Cassie would love this movie and it’s got ‘with Carly’ written all over it!!

Bill W

Sleepers is by far the best film here. The best film on both polls. I mean, come on. Donnie Brasco and Payback are also good, but...

Troy Silvester

Doesn't look like "Joe vs The Volcano" has a chance, but I sure hope it does. When I saw this on the list, I didn't look any further. One of my all time favorite movies, and at the time it was released, I related so completely to Joe, that it was kind of scary! Thank God for Meg Ryan to save him! Waponi Woo!

Robert Jewell

I could only pick one since most I've not seen and one I really dislike. I do hope at least of mine wins since I picked 3 on the other poll. ❤️

Richard Maurer

I guess these and poll 1’s films are supposed to be surprising because they’re not rom-coms. The only mildly surprising one in either poll was Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, although I would have been more surprised if it were the original and not the inferior remake. I voted for it anyway, just because. To be fair it’s really hard to surprise me. Edit: I see the GWtDT remake is actually winning this. I can’t support an inferior remake so I switched my vote to Man in the Iron Mask.

CJ Holden

If you ever watch PAYBACK, make sure to watch both the theatrical and the director's cut. They are almost two completely different movies! Would be a fun video to see you watch them back to back and react to the differences.

Joe J

Didn't see Point Blank on the poll, lol. Cassie will like Mel much better than Lee Marvin.

Jennifer Medicus

I was surprised I liked Stepmom, but it did hit hard. My mom died of brain cancer when I was in high school and I wish we'd had more moments like in the movie. I cried pretty hard at that one scene - y'all know what I'm talking about.

Bill W

Maybe in another 5 years. The cast roster alone should be enough to win this poll. Dustin Hoffman, Brad Pitt, Robert DeNiro, Kevin Bacon, Jason Patric, Minnie Driver, Brad Renfro.... based on true events, directed by Barry Levinson, score by John Williams. (edit): Just thinking Iron Mask also has a great cast, but for me, the movie didn't hold up with re-watches. I liked it less and less each time.

Richard Maurer

A lot of people can’t handle subtitles unfortunately. So they end up voting for the inferior remakes - like The Ring over Ringu.

Jennifer Medicus

Read the book and after seeing some things about the popular film, had no desire to see it. I'll stick with the book.

Grad

It's unfortunate.

Zane From Canada

Half Agree! The Theatrical version definitely. The Director's Cut was an abomination. The removal of Kris Kristofferson's character specifically.

Devon Caitlin

Ah, apologies, I was referring to A River Runs Through It from Poll 1 and Sleepers from Poll 2 with my Brad Pitt comment.

fastecp1

Sleepers (1996) was great, I'm surprised it's not doing better.

Just Plain Bob

Zane, I agree. I’m usually one of the “watch the director’s cut” guys. Not in this case. The theatrical cut was better all around and its ending, though a bit too “Hollywood” for my taste, was more in keeping with the novel.

Cole Jennett

I should have figured that out, it’s on me, ha

Just Plain Bob

Yeah, I was REALLY disappointed to see the tepid remake listed instead of the far superior original. Noomi Rapace is so much better in the role of Lisbeth Salander than Rooney Mara that it’s like they’re portraying two different characters. Mara seems to think that being bored and sleepy is acting. It’s not.

Richard Maurer

People say that there are US remakes that are better than the foreign originals. But I’ve never seen one. And if you reply The Departed or The Ring, I strongly disagree with you.

Anjolie Lanel

I agree. Payback - Straight Up, is a better version of

Jens Kristensen

"Sleepers", if you love Kevin Bacon - you'll hate him in this...

Vlad D

C'mon Joe...

Cole Jennett

She said that Cassie’s picks surprisingly won, not that the choices were supposed to be surprising. But they aren’t all Rom-coms as she stated.

Richard Maurer

TGWtDT currently has 244 votes. Man in the Iron Mask is second with 178. Pretty sure this one’s over already people. Could be a comeback, but with that big of a deficit it’s unlikely

Marc Peterson

Finest Hours (2016) is an incredible true story of heroism on the high seas. US COAST GUARD in their finest hours. Setting 1952 New England sea coast with a great cast: Chris Pine, Casey Affleck, Eric Bana and Ben Foster. Greatest attempted small boat rescue in USCG history. You are on the edge of your seat the whole film. Tanker breaks up in brutal storm. Special effects fabulous. And nice love story Cassie will like! Marc in Philly

Thomas Wetherell

I don’t think it’s going to win but I still voted for it, it’s so underrated.

Marc Peterson

Got to rally the Coasties vote!!

Gábor Árki

I personally prefer the Theatrical, and knowing Cassie I'm sure she would too.

Kevin McClure

Cassie, I see that The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo was leading in that poll. I have to say that I read the book and the two sequels avidly and although I thought the lead characters were perfect for cinema I didn’t see how the more unpleasant aspects of the story could be filmed without it being appalling to watch. I have seen the Swedish versions of all three films and they are good but a very difficult watch, I have not seen this Hollywood version but I imagine it is the same. Daniel Craig was quoted as saying that there was more sexual violence than he expected. He clearly hadn’t read the book. All I’m saying to you is, if this tops the poll then brace yourself for a difficult viewing experience.

fallingupdownthere

Girl with the Dragoon Tattoo? While doing my best Mr Burns impression....Excellent!

Story Archer

I know that different people take different approaches to how they vote, but I'll never understand not starting out with 'what will Cassie (and Carli) enjoy the most?'... Cassie will always put a good face on it, but there are so many amazing films out there, it's easy to find things that I love that I ALSO know they will love, rather than picking something you kinda know they're going to be squirming through because they have to at that point.

Story Archer

It's between Dragon Tattoo and Sleepers for films I think the ladies would enjoy the LEAST, why do we keep doing this to them?

Story Archer

Because it's the exact opposite kind of film that these ladies enjoy?

Story Archer

These ladies have GOT to see that movie one day...

JONATHAN REDFERN WILLIAMS

RIP Terence Stamp, a brilliant actor who died this week. Many will know him best as General Zod in Superman 1 and 2 (1978/1980), but he had such an amazing acting career in other films like Ken Loach's Poor Cow (1967), The Adventures of Priscilla: Queen of the Desert (1994), Star Wars: Episode 1 (1999). Here is a wonderful BBC Scene By Scene interview with him in 1998, he had just finished filming Star Wars: Episode 1 (1999). At 35.40 he talks about doing Hu Man (1975), doing some jaw-droppingly dangerous scenes including lying out of an open helicopter, standing in a surrounding water tide and lying down next to a lava spewing volcano! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ViJ3BoeS-kQ

Tom Castro

Sleepers is a very good film but be prepared, it is very grim

OddThomas

Dragon Tattoo literally one of my favourite films. Payback is fun.

Apollo838

Oh PLEASE do man in the iron mask, that film is fantastic!

Earthwalker

Unfortunately it looks like "Girl with the Dragon Tatoo" is the wrong one (with Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara) I would have preferred to see a reaction to the Original with Noomi Rapace and Michael Nyquist.

Cole Jennett

I think she will like both of them a lot. She loves investigative movies. There’s difficult scenes but she will be fine.

Richard Maurer

Story Archer - Because people pick the films they like? And that includes the people who pick films they think Cassie will like. Nobody here is picking films they hate just because they think Cassie will like them.

Clay F

These two polls are going so well for me. Here, my top choice [The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011)] is currently a strong No. 1.

Richard Maurer

Cole - Actually she did say in another post that she “thinks we’ll be surprised” by her picks. But anyway, as I said I’m rarely surprised.

Clarence Newman

Can I just say that it's nice to see Cassie dropping some likes on the posts below. We get well shunned on the Game of Thrones posts and we miss her badly.

Happy Hanukkah

"The removal of Kris Kristofferson's character" That's what he gets for beating the devil.

CJ Holden

I mean, teeeeeeechnically Kristofferson wasn't removed, but added to it, but all in all I think this discussion proves that she really should watch both versions.

Happy Hanukkah

/waves to whichever patron it was who was strongly recommending The Judge a couple of years ago

Clay F

I liked The Man in the Iron Mask in my 30s, but not as much now. Payback (1999) is ok. Joe vs The Volcano (1990) good Tom Hanks. But my 2nd choice is Sleepers. The two I voted for: 1. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011) (my strong preference) 2. Sleepers (1996) She'll like TGWTDT. She likes investigative aspects, and having a villain to dislike.

Jay Jay Reyes

Every time this movie loses. I guess it'll have to be one that always pops up that she finally just watches. I love that movie.

Richard Maurer

HH - I knew you were going to do that.

Milton Reduxed

Strongly seconded—Also if Cassie likes the original movie she can continue onto the sequels, The Girl Who Played with Fire & The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest, which isn't true of the Daniel Craig version

Milton Reduxed

It's a first-class legal drama, which they do like

Mannygogou

top 2... top 2... we just need another hundred votes for Joe 🥲🙂

Chris Thom

Stepmom would make for a great November movie on the channel. Just watched Dragon Tattoo last weekend and that end scene really got my heart going. Lots of tension throughout.

Clay F

Ditto

Clay F

The 2009 Swedish original lost to Das Boot (1981) in a poll by only 1%. I thought she might react to 2009 original b/c so close but unfortunately she didn't. She would like the 2009 original better than Das Boot. I have nostalgia for 2009 original b/c watched in 2010 before release of 2011 remake, but I prefer remake over 2009 original. Both awesome.

Walker Mangum

I loved The Judge, looks like im in the minority! Oh well

Clay F

Dragon Tattoo = great movie. Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara are excellent. "Lion" (2016) By the way, Rooney Mara is also excellent in "Lion" (2016) w/Dev Patel. She is a completely different character than in Dragon Tattoo. The two characters are unrecognizable with respect to each other. Shows her acting versatility. "Lion" (2016) is an awesome movie that Cassie would like (on her mom's list). Lion is a complex movie and beautifully told uplifting story with universal themes. “Let's just say if you are human, there is no way that Lion won't move you.” "Lion" (2016) = Nom 6 Oscars incl. Best Picture, Best Actor (Dev Patel). Will never win a poll. The only way to get a reaction to Lion (2016) is as a popcorn pick or as a PAF winner.

Story Archer

lol - I just can't do it. It was a perfectly fine, quirky little movie (I personally don't think it aged particularly well, but each to their own), but looking at the other movies up there, I just can't put it in the same category.

Story Archer

It really would be ideal in November...

Cole Jennett

She brought it up in the Spring as a potential PPOTM, so it’s not just one person.

Cole Jennett

She can still go back and watch the entire Swedish trilogy later.

Cole Jennett

Me too, it’s in my top 5 for movies she hasn’t seen yet

Earthwalker

Yes she could get back to the swedish trilogy later, but she knows the story by then.

mourning_fox

You and Cassie would love "the Man in the Iron Mask" 100%

Ubergeek

Absolutely. If nothing else, watch the Swedish films just so you don't have to subject yourself to the horrid mix of accents. Some real. Some awfully fake. And then of course there's Mr. Craig who just speaks his regular English. They could have just set it in the US or UK instead of this, but no.

Javier Hernandez

This is a pretty good list I can spot only two throw-aways. I would love for you to see the original "the girl with the dragon tatoo" as well as the English version. Both versions eliminated parts of the story so seeing both will give you a more complete understanding of the book. Of course, read the book.

BriGuy

Can't go wrong with "The Man in the Iron Mask", based on the 1847 novel by the same author who gave us "The Count of Monte Christo" and "The Three Musketeers." Romantic drama and swashbuckling at its finest !

MrKsummer7

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is the only film on this list, I would pay to see. The rest can collect dust on a shelf somewhere.

Darren Harrison

In my opinion the better version of “The Man in the Iron Mask” is the 1977 one starring Richard Chamberlain, Jenny Agutter, Patrick McGoohan, Ralph Richardson and Louis Jourdan

Happy Hanukkah

Whoah! Today-I-Learned that Rooney Mara and Noomi Rapace are two separate actresses! :-P

David Livingston

"The Man in the Iron Mask" and "Hope Floats" are absolute favorites of mine (I've seen both many times)! "Stepmom" was very good as well - I honestly have to watch it again as I've only seen it once. As a U.S. Marine, I actually really liked "The Finest Hours" (also "The Guardian" 2006 with Kevin Costner and Ashton Kutcher) - and I will never speak ill of the Coast Guard! I may have trained to run toward trouble and gunfire, but I can't swim well... What especially the rescue swimmers do daily?! Wow!! I have tremendous respect for them!

Clay F

The Man in the Iron Mask (1998) doing well in the poll. Looks like it may be 1 of the 2 movies to advance the final poll. We may get a reaction to that. In stark contrast, Stepmom is currently tied for last place and Hope Floats is 3rd to last (#8 of the 10 choices).

Clay F

I am pretty much the same way.

Clay F

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo - 2011 remake in poll vs 2009 Swedish original. The 2009 Swedish original lost to Das Boot (1981) in a poll by only 1%. Thought she might react to the 2009 original b/c came in such a close 2nd but unfortunately she didn't. She would like TGWTDT 2009 original better than Das Boot. I have nostalgia for the 2009 original b/c watched in 2010 before release of the 2011 remake, but I grew to prefer 2011 remake over 2009 original. Both awesome. Das Boot (1981) reaction outro (tears, sorrow, gasps, sadness, exasperation, frowns, regret, exhaustion): "This can't be. This cannot be.... What!? After all that! .... Oh my gosh. Oh, that was cruel. Holy crap.... It was like so draining to watch.... uncomfortable.... And you felt claustrophobic. And you felt bored.... And you felt hopeless.... It's a really sad ending. Ugh, wow.... Oh, I just feel so drained..... That was a hard watch."

Joe J

Horse race for 2nd.

MrKsummer7

Regarding The Man in the Iron Mask ‘98, pretty sure Alexandre Dumas would agree with Rotten Tomatoes 32% approval rating of this adaptation of his book. Randall Wallace should’ve retired his typewriter after Braveheart. His story writing for this film was so awful and bland. A real yawner due to its lack of romantic undertones Dumas originally intended it to be. Oh, and there are just two words needed to describe the acting: cliché and cheesy. My advice: Keep it, shelve it, forget it!

Doug Fisher

While I respect your right to your opinion MrK... "Sleepers" is a powerful and well made move with some outstanding performances.

Doug Fisher

Same here... though sadly, that is usually the antithesis of getting voted for an mass.

I am ambivalent. Maybe slightly prefer Payback, but would be ok with The Man in the Iron Mask (1998). But may be moot b/c those 2 fighting for 2nd above unlikely to win in the final poll? -- yet who knows. Current votes The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011) - 373 The Man in the Iron Mask (1998) - 257 Payback (1999) - 233 Lost in Translation (2003) - 333 Donnie Brasco (1997) - 258

Doug Fisher

You do remember the reason Cass started this channel Archer?! It wasn't to expose her to films she already watches it was to expose her to film OUTSIDE of her/their wheelhouse.

Doug Fisher

Which usually means it won't win. 😉😞

Doug Fisher

I agree Clarence, "Daylight" is great, one of Stallone's top movies.

Doug Fisher

Yeah Scott... it was definitely a very meh film for me too.

Mark White

Payback is kinda enjoyable. The man in the iron mask is not for me, but I feel Cassie might enjoy that one. Sleepers would be my pick, great movie with some dark themes. Hope floats is a no brainer for Cassie.

Clay F

I voted Sleepers. Currently in 5th place. Looks unlikely to be one of the two movies to advance to the final poll.

Clay F

Rooney Mara = excellent in TGWTDT. Also excellent in "Lion" (2016) (w/Dev Patel). Completely different character. Unrecognizable compared to each other. Shows her acting versatility. "Lion" (2016) = stellar. Cassie would like (on her mom's list) -- complex movie, beautifully told uplifting story w/universal themes. “Let's just say if you are human, there is no way that Lion won't move you.” Lion (2016) = nom 6 Oscars incl. Best Picture, Best Actor (Dev Patel). Will never win a poll.

Tyler Hale

You monsters!! Why choose Dragon Tattoo?!?!

Jacob King

More people need to watch Sleepers. If you like Dragon Tattoo…

Rick Rodriguez

Alas. It would be tough viewing for Cassie anyway.

Tyler Foster

I think you may be interpreting her reaction a little literally there. I don't think that was a negative reaction to the movie -- and let's not forget that Dragon Tattoo is also extremely tough in a way that will probably have her saying "that was a hard watch."

Tyler Foster

I'm sure others have mentioned it below, but there are two *significantly* different cuts of Payback, a movie which was heavily recut and reshot, and turned into something else. Personally, I think both versions of Payback have merit. The "Straight Up" director's cut is more tonally in line with the original novel, although I can't say if it's actually accurate to the book because I haven't read it. The theatrical cut is more broadly entertaining, but I can see why fans of the author or the novel would have found it very disappointing, especially compared to the previous adaptation, Point Blank (1967), which is also very good.

JohnnyUtah

Agreed, never got the credit it deserved because the specialist, assassins, & judge dredd underperformed.

Clay F

Agree that’s my interpretation, but those her quotes. I think plain she didn’t enjoy Das Boot. In contrast, she would enjoy the 2009 original — the investigative aspects, and she likes having a villain to dislike. Keep in mind that she loved Outlander TV series, which ENews said has “the most graphic and disturbing rape scenes ever to air in the history of television.” I fast forward over those scenes. Too much positive for her, especially with character development, with the 2009 original. She would definitely enjoy TWTDT 2009 original much more than Das Boot. Cassie Das Boot reaction outro direct quotes: “It’s a really sad ending.” “I just feel so drained.” “That was a hard watch."

Clay F

I voted those two.

Clay F

She will like it.

Keith Jones

Anything...anything but Joe vs the Volcano, a movie so bad I stopped it halfway and ejected the VHS tape, didn't even rewind it, didn't want it contaminating my player any more than it had to.

Richard Maurer

They really down-played it that The Departed was a remake - to the point where there were accusations that they were trying to hide it. Scorsese claims he didn’t know it was a remake until after he took the job - I have trouble believing that.

Richard Maurer

Dragon Tattoo will not only win this one but likely the top 4 poll too.

John Cranberry

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo USA REMAKE was ok, but the originals are far, far better.

Chris Thom

Didn't see it on the list. Then I thought it was that movie about Churchill. And now I'm reading about it on Wikipedia. Lol. Hadn't heard of it.

JPDotCom23

I was hoping this was the original Swedish version, but this version will suffice

Clay F

I will be happy with that. Hopefully, she will additionally react to Lost in Translation the 2nd place finisher in the final poll.

Clay F

Yeah, battling for last place.

Clay F

She wants to expand her horizon. She wants to be pushed out of her comfort zone. She wants patrons to vote for the movie they most want to see a reaction and not limit votes to only movies they think she might like. Cassie will like The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2012). She will like the investgative aspects. She likes having a horrid villain to dislike. She likes Daniel Craig. The objectionable content is not over the top for her - after all, she is reacting to Game of Thrones. Plus, she is an intelligent adult who tolerates such content, especially the more she likes the movie and connects with the characters.

Clay F

I prefer the 2011 remake over the 2009 Swedish original but both are awesome. She should react to both.

Kevin McClure

I appreciate all you say about Cassie’s ability to deal with challenging material I I think she is really impressive and her judgement on films is mostly pretty flawless, however, my comment was based on just having seen her reaction to The Pianist, during which she got really distressed and said “..turn it off!” She did persevere as I knew she would and gave a good review, saying she was glad she watched it. It is, after all, a story of perseverance. I wasn’t saying not to watch The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, just to be prepared. Incidentally I have not seen the Rooney Mara /Daniel Craig version but watched the Mooni Rapace / Michael Nyqvist 2009 version again last night to remind me of how much was included and omitted from the book. I had forgotten just how much was left out of that film. It will be interesting to see how the 2011 Hollywood version adapts it.

Vincent

Payback (starring Mel Gibson) has always been a lesser known gem.

Ignis Rændl

i voted for David Fincher's version of 'The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo' but i just wanted to give 'the Finest Hours' some love. imo it's one of those suspenseful true stories that Cassie will like. (also Chris Pine in it, Cassie;) also 'Payback' and 'The Judge' deserve reactions. and how has Cassie not seen 'Hope Floats'? isn't it a romcom?

Ignis Rændl

David Fincher... Rooney Mara excellent as Lisbeth... Daniel Craig... hard to beat imo.

Ignis Rændl

ahh!! 'Sleepers' is great too. watch em all, Cassie 🤭

Clarence Newman

And Towering Inferno, because....ya know....I might throw a paddy if she doesn't. Not a pretty sight when I'm angry, you know. I'll snap the branches right off your bonsai.

Richard Maurer

The original is definitely better imo.

Richard Maurer

Clarence! Mighty breaker of……..small, brittle twigs.

Richard Maurer

I’ve unlocked your Viking name - Clarence Twig Breaker!

Mannygogou

oh, that's not something you have to worry about. That is a movie that would never win polls. It fits in a pretty narrow spot... Not only that, even if it comes close... then it has to contend with the face-off poll. I have seen 4 or 5 reactions to it... and the fans will be happy that at least one reactor really loved it (...it was Imon Snow).

Joe J

Cassie has been known to watch 3rd place, for instance on the Spielberg poll she promised to watch "Duel" in September.

Pop n Lock

Oh no not you guys making Cassie watch girl with the dragon tattoo 😅

Joe J

Joe vs the Volcano has 203 votes ?? The end times are upon us. 😳

M. Callari

You should watch the original Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Noomi Rapace (Prometheus) was amazing in it!

Nolofinwe

Girl with the Dragon tattoo is terrific -dark very dark- but still good , I was pulling for "Joe versus the Volcano" tremendously underated movie i think because the ending is so goofy LOL if they had re-done some of the silliness of the ending much better

Clay F

Her pick.

Richard Maurer

Yeah, kind of hard to say anyone is making her watch it when she put it on the poll herself.

Richard Maurer

Put Duel on the list of things she promised she’d watch and will certainly get around to one of these days lol.

Pop n Lock

I was just making a joke guys about how brutal that movie is, it wasnt that serious lol

Clarence Newman

Good point, Joe. It sets a precedent whereby she is also obliged to watch Towering Inferno.

Clarence Newman

I think it's good that this poll is producing a gritty, out-of-her-comfort-zone movie for Cassie and the other one is producing the exact opposite. Balance has been achieved. By the way, Cassie. Carly needs to join you for Lost In Translation.

Cole Jennett

You will have to forgive them Jhop. A lot of people come on here and are aghast that she would watch a “difficult” movie. People just probably have their back up a bit, not realizing you were teasing. Because it’s often not the case

Clay F

Jhop -- I should have known you were teasing -- I missed that emoticon what looks like a laughing face at the end of your original post.

Clay F

Wow -- TGWTDT (2011) sheer domination. Nominated for 5 Oscars including Best Actress (Rooney Mara). Daniel Craig is also awesome. Late one night in 2010, I surfing my cable premium channels - caught awesome 2009 original from start. Had never heard of it but hooked me. No one I knew, knew of movie. Felt like I found a hidden gem. Didn't know of the popular novel. The next year (2011), I saw a 2011 remake was being released. I told friends and family, and colleagues at work, they had to watch 2009 before the 2011. Fell on deaf ears. They, like most of US mainstream, not a fan of foreign movies - they want big stars (e.g., Daniel Craig), good cinematography (2011 remake nom for Oscar), and not having to read English subtitles. They are generally not cinephiles. I grew to like 2011 better than the 2009. I view the 2011 less as a remake but more as a different adaptation of the novel -- an apparently better adaptation including the portrayal of Lisbeth and the ending. Though I do love the Swedish actress Noomi Rapace's portrayal of Lisbeth in 2009 even if less consistent w/the novel. The 2011 (a more cinematic feel) is 'technically' better = the cinematography (compared to the more subdued approach of the 2009 Swedish film), editing, production design, and music (Trent Reznor, Atticus Rossmore) more developed. Also, more even pacing and good character development. To many, the 2009 comes across as a generic Swedish made for TV movie. Yet, to me, Noomi Rapace is great in 2009. And I think the 2009 is character driven. I love 2009, and does have a grounded and realistic tone, w/storytelling "efficient and digestible."

Richard Maurer

Jhop - I wasn’t that serious either. And I was more commenting on Clay’s post rather than yours.

John Neiberger

I've tried to learn to enjoy 2011, but it's so difficult. The 2009 version is one of my all-time favorites and the casting is seared into my brain. 2011 has better cinematography, for sure, but it's still missing something that the 2009 version has. It's hard to nail down for me.

Clay F

John, good reply. I felt resistance to the 2011 version the first time I watched the 2011 version. But I had only watched the 2009 original once or twice, so maybe the 2009 wasn't as seared in my brain. But I distinctly remember thinking that people would miss out if they skip the 2009 and went straight to the 2011.

Clay F

Dragon Tattoo (2011) + Lost in Translation = excellent mix. Dragon Tattoo (2011) [cinematic, investigative] + Donnie Brasco [mob] = excellent mix. A balance but not the type of balance you allude to. Final Poll. Looking at the number of votes in these two preliminary polls, speculating that Dragon Tattoo (2011) wins final poll and LiT 2nd place. --The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011) --LiT (2003) [2nd in final poll only matters if she reacts to 2nd, which she hasn't say she would. Maybe if close finish? -- who knows] The remaining two in final poll: --The Man in the Iron Mask (1998) --Donnie Brasco (1997) Though really no telling what happens in final poll w/those 4 candidates.

Kiss the Librarian

*spoilers* While TGWTDT pretends to amp up "female empowerment," it ends up commodifying women's suffering and perpetuating the Hollywood habit of voyeuristically graphic portrayal of violence (especially SA) against female characters. Put a man in those scenes instead of women and maybe it will be clearer why that's problematic. It further undermines the female lead's supposed empowerment, not just by sexually objectifying her, but also with some of her choices to return to the abuser for another round of abuse, all under the guise of supposed revenge, which implies she "wanted it all along." It's obvious how that ends up contributing to r*pe culture rather than critiquing it. Nothing about this book or film series comes from the female gaze. Good luck to Cassie with her watch.

Kiss the Librarian

@Story Archer Totally agree with you. @Clay F Cassie has also made it very clear more than once what her hard limits are. She also does not know that TGWTDT contains multiple extended sexual torture scenes portrayed in a overly long, voyeuristic way rather than a way that garners empathy for the target of violence. You cannot pretend to know what Cassie wants if Cassie doesn't have all the information to decide for herself.

Kevin McClure

Indeed I would never try to censor what an adult watched and was not saying that Cassie should not watch TGWTDT I was only saying that it is a harrowing story. Cassie has already proved that she can handle tough content but knowledge is power.

Kiss the Librarian

@Doug Fisher You do remember Cassie saying she doesn't want to see movies depicting children being harmed, probably especially like in Sleepers?

Kiss the Librarian

Aw! I immediately voted for that one, too. Haven't watched in years, and I know it would hit hard in the right way.

Clarence Newman

I'm curious what you think of Deliverance.

Clay F

Cassie will be just fine. Cassie said she loved the Outlander series, which has the female gaze, but also sexual violence. I fast forward through the worst extended rape/torture. ENews on Outlander: "the most graphic and disturbing rape scenes ever to air in the history of television." Plus, TGWTD is not worse than Game of Thrones she will be reacting to over the next 8 months. Not much female gaze in GoT. Further, GoT depicts "women's suffering" and "voyeuristically graphic portrayal of violence (especially SA) against female characters," as well as "sexually objectifying" females. While I appreciate your sentiment, Lisbeth choosing to return to the abuser for another so-called round of abuse -- for real revenge and more so control/protection (not under the guise of supposed revenge) -- does not imply she "wanted it all along."

Clay F

The more I think about it, I think Cassie would like Lost in Translation better than The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

Clay F

"Cassie's Picks Poll" -- she could have chose (picked) a zillion different movies -- her picks -- what she wanted. From the near infinite options -- she chose (picked) TGWTDT. A Cassie pick. There was no limitation on her. No genre limitation. No time period limitation. It was her complete ballgame -- whatever she wanted. Cassie's Pick. Patrons can vote for one or more of Cassie's Picks. In this poll #2, I voted for two of Cassie's Picks: TGWTDT and Sleepers.

Clarence Newman

How could you think otherwise? Cassie likes to step outside of her comfort zone (I think it gives her a lot of satisfaction), but she still has a wheelhouse and LiT sits squarely in the middle of it.

Richard Maurer

Nothing is off-limits in art (as long as it isn’t real).

Oh she hasn't seen Prometheus yet. That could be a good one for October.

The intro animation/music alone is worth the price of admission.

Clarence Newman

Story Archer

One of the interesting things about this discussion is that it actually highlights how much more we as a society value women than men. Without getting too much into the anthropology/sociology of the thing, just think about how we as the audience respond to a man being killed on screen. How about a dozen men being killed on screen? A hundred? Now think about how we respond when we see one woman SA'd. Hell, think about how the audience responds when a woman is simply punched or slapped, and compare that to its response to the violent death of dozens of men. One will inspire countless articles, calls for boycotts on social media and another round of vitriol over so-called 'r@pe culture', while the other elicits a shrug or a raised eyebrow at best. We value women far, far more than we do the men in our society. As a man, I'm personally okay with that. It seems instinctively correct, that that is the way it should be, to me at least. But valuing women should never mean that we denigrate, castigate or even simply forget about men and the value that they bring in the process. Conversely, the very concept of a 'male gaze' and a 'female gaze' suggests that 1) all men and all women monolithically look at something through one of two separate lenses of shared experience, 2) that these two lenses are in diametric conflict with one another and that 3) one of these two lenses is the 'correct' way to view things and one is not. I summarily reject all three of those premises.

Kiss the Librarian

@Clarence Newman I haven’t watched Deliverance, so I don’t know if the rape scene of the male character is depicted in a torture porn way that belittles the suffering of SA victims, or if it’s more thoughtful than that.

Richard Maurer

I didn’t vote for Dragon Tattoo because it’s the remake, otherwise I would’ve voted for it. Cassie apparently wants to see it anyway so win-win voting for whatever film you like on these polls.

Richard Maurer

Chris - it’s a killer animal movie, so technically a sub-genre of horror. Just for the record, I hate most killer animal movies. The only ones I can tolerate are the ones where they give a good reason for the animals to attack people, usually a sci-fi reason. This movie is about rattlesnakes which won’t bother you unless you bother them first.

Kiss the Librarian

@Clay F I wished Cassie luck with her watch, not that she wouldn’t like it. Outlander is also lacking in quality to make up for its over reliance on rape as a plot point. GOT has a lot more going for it than its errors, it tries to garner sympathy for SA victims in more thoughtful than voyeuristic ways in how it tells their stories, it gets closer to books in its gaze as the show goes on, and the whole point of the show was never the theme of female empowerment. The original title of TGWTDT was Men Who Hate Women, the way this is explored in the books was criticized for some misogyny, and the combination of a sexualized female hero who is raped a bunch for too long on screen then goes back to her abuser to accept further abuse very much undercuts the theme of empowerment in how it comes across - intentionally or not.

Kiss the Librarian

@Richard Are we talking about censoring art or simply critiquing effective vs ineffective art, and what drives us to watch which in our culture?

Kiss the Librarian

@Story Archer I disagree that society values men more than women, as you might have guessed. I don’t feel comfortable with one being valued more than the other in either direction. Rape is not singular to women’s experience, though it does disproportionately affect women - in large part because women are viewed as expendable in our culture. Weighing rape vs murder in terms of what is worse is also difficult. A lot of the time, the two go together for women. And, rape is torture. Is it worse to die quickly or be tortured, and for how long or to what extent? Not everyone who survives rape survives life after. Even “lesser” rape permanently changes one’s life with PTSD, and robs decades from people. All for simply existing with a particular set of anatomy. The portrayal of mass deaths in media you contrast with this are mostly of people consenting to engage in violence to some degree (henchmen, soldiers). I also have critiques of this kind of voyeuristic violence, and do not enjoy it if it is gratuitous. If we were talking about movies showing mass murder of innocent male bystanders, like Jewish men in Schindler’s list, then the audience has an appropriate negative reaction, though this is of course shown thoughtfully from the perspective of valuing the victims over the voyeuristic enjoyment of the Nazis who murder them. Even with soldiers characters who choose to go to battle, as in the Call of Duty games, there is plenty of criticism of how those games became excessively voyeuristic and sadistic in their depiction of war - such as unrealistic tracking shots of a bullet entering a target’s body to wreak havoc. The games are obviously meant to attract a certain type of recruit and/or inure young men to horrible things so they will obey orders to do horrible things to other men/women. Interestingly, the US military still has a lot of influence & censorship power over what big film studios can portray on screen, even in non action movies. There is a masculinity misconception problem in our culture, where it is misunderstood to mean a man must be dominant by “owning” other men in battle and denigrating women’s bodies. I argue this affects and reflects how we value both men and women in our culture. Outcry over how women are humiliated in media is not surprising given how disposable they are treated in real life, in part because it adds to the perception that women are and should be disposable. Outcry over this does not mean there is no outcry over mindless violence in media, which often involves men. Why would there be an outcry if we do not value men? Apologies for the block of text, cannot make line breaks on my phone. EDTA: line breaks

Richard Maurer

KtL - Ineffective art is an opinion not a fact. I’m against censorship in any form, of any subject, call it cancelling, boycotts, whatever. You don’t like something, don’t watch it, simple as that. The exception being (there’s always an exception) any non-consensual harm to a person or animal (this includes all animal life - reptiles,fish,insects, spiders, etc.) Edit: obviously only adult humans can give consent.

Chris Thom

I was never that into them either. But I did always kind of appreciate how over the top Anaconda was. Plus it had a neat setting.

Kiss the Librarian

@Richard Sounds like you missed my point: I never said anything about canceling or censorship or telling people what to watch, I only offered a critique. Sounds like you want people to decide what to watch without sharing their critiques. Why is that?

T.L.A

The 2009 version is so much better than the 2011 that I actually would waste my time watching it again. Plus the 2009 has the entire trilogy so you get the full story.

Richard Maurer

You can critique all you want, I do it all the time. But whenever people start to talk about a movie being ‘inappropriate’ it always seems to lead to someone, not necessarily you, but someone talking about censorship, or canceling, or whatever they want to call it. You’ve made several posts questioning why people are voting for this movie, and the answer is simple, because they like the movie, and don’t have problem with it. The scene you have a problem with is admittedly a tough scene to watch, as it’s supposed to be. But pretending such things don’t happen in real life by not depicting them in films will not stop those things from happening.

Kiss the Librarian

@Richard Thanks for the permission to critique. I never said no one should watch it, nor that avoiding watching it will prevent rape in real life. However, media studies research has a lot to say about that, but probably not the kind of discussion you’re looking for here.

Richard Maurer

Why do you keep putting words in mouth? But you’re right, I don’t want to discuss this further, because I’ve already made my point, and don’t see a need to continue. Have a nice day.
