This year, I said I would react to the biggest upset in movie madness. We had a tie this year as you’ll see in the pictures below so I thought I’d throw it up in a poll! I have been wanting to watch both of these for a while now, so Win Win!!

Love 80s films so Ladyhawke it is!

Choof

In Bruges easily for me

Brian Shannow

In Bruges is without question one of the best written screenplays I can think of. Also i do love LadyHawke possibly to do with my lifelong crush on Michelle Pfeiffer but there is no universe where I'd argue it's a particularly good movie

René Ferland

Ladyhawke for me, but I won't be mad if In Bruges wins. Even better, watch both Cassie.

Brogan

Been looking for an excuse to finally watch in bruges after the countless clips I've seen over the years...

Paul Cox

Hoping In Bruges wins in the hopes that you'll like it enough to then watch The Banshees of Inisherin.

Alex Gorell

You should watch Red at some point. Such a fun film.

Mister Lou

Too bad I can't vote for R.E.D. 😆

Larry Darrell

I have never seen 2 films so dissimilar pitted against one another.

WestBound

Next year can we go back to last year's format ..twas so much more engaging and fun

Matthew

prob wont win the poll but Ladyhawke is a must watch romance!

Joe W

It's not even a contest - In Bruges

Just Plain Bob

This is tough for me. I love both movies. In Bruges is probably the better film but I voted for Ladyhawke because In Bruges will probably end up getting a reaction, anyway. Cassie has done reactions to movies her brother recommended as being his favorites and In Bruges was on the short list of movies he suggested that she has not seen. I just don’t see Ladyhawke getting a reaction if it loses out again.

John Burns

John Malkovitch is a million flavours of fun in RED!

Blake Evans

No question AT ALL. In Bruges!

BGN

Is the PAF drawing still going to be today?

Lukas

It MUST be "In Bruges". Nothing else will do

Christian Becker

Well, my vote goes to Ladyhawke. I'm a sucker for a fantastical love story with Michelle Pfeiffer any day and twice on Sundays. I think Cassie might like In Bruges well enough, but I think she might really enjoy Ladyhawke. And not to forget, Iowa lost me 500 BB there - that also counts against it ;-)

Larry Darrell

Watched it recently. It’s a dark comedy that is unevenly split in my opinion. Favors the former. As much hype as it always gets, I figured it be the other way.

Vak

I went with "Ladyhawke," not just because it's mostly-forgotten and underrated, but because this is Cassie's channel. Her reaction to it would be a great viewpoint from the friend on the couch on the other side of the room (or the bed in this case, though I don't have one in the living room, so it's apparently a streaming party instead - but the principle holds). She loves high fantasy, she loves romance, she loves Michelle Pfeiffer. What's not to like? (OK, yeah, the music, and maybe some of the costuming, have aged remarkably poorly, but that's just a quibble.) Also, I'm overdue for a rewatch of the film, and this would be a great excuse.

LukeG84

I voted for Ladyhawke. I haven’t seen it in decades but I remember it being good.

John Neiberger

There's no choice between these two for me. Ladyhawke might have been good, but In Bruges is fantastic. It's one of my all-time favorite movies. The story, acting, dialogue and music are superbly done. I've seen it so many times and I'm absolutely up for a re-watch.

Björn Karlsson

Ladyhawke got my vote because of its ranking on popcorn request 🙃🙂

John Neiberger

Unless you watch the movie called Red with Brian Cox in it. It's a really good movie, but definitely not fun.

Anthony DiBern

High Point beating Wisconsin in the first round was objectively a bigger upset than either of these, since High Point is a complete unknown and Wisconsin was a legitimate contender to make a run deep into the tournament.

BGN

Thank you!!

John Gomez

I was counting on either Red or Real Genius. Better luck next time. Close though.

WestBound

Didn't we each fill out or own individual brackets ?

Scott Macaulay

Sounds fancy pants. I’ll take Rutger, Michelle and Matthew

Cole Jennett

Agree, I was into it more last year with my own individual bracket but the problem is, the winner has never claimed the prize and we can’t find them unless they use their Patreon name which a lot of patrons didn’t do.

Nick Ireland

in Bruges please. Excellent movie, and Cassie loves a dark comedy. We've had too many 80s nostalgia movies she didn't like.

Chris Thom

In Bruges is twisty and weird in a way we don't get all that often here. But this also reminded me that I've never seen Ladyhawke and I want to.

Gray

In Bruges all day you always like a dark comedy.

Jacob Colson

I sure hope In Bruges wins. And hopefully Cassie will get the dark comedy side of it.

Chris Thom

It's really unique. The writing is quite dark. Pitch black dark comedy.

Chris Thom

Same writer/director as Three Billboards in MO

Eike

Anything from Martin McDonagh please

FilmFanFred

Ladyhawke all the way! Cassie loves a good romance, and this is one of the best. Also, this is definitely a Cassie/Carly movie. I loved their reactions to Count of Monte Cristo and Practical Magic. Even if In Bruges wins, Cassie should still watch Ladyhawke!

Stephen Dias

I’m just the opposite. Someone suggested I should see “In Bruges,” but I still haven’t seen it yet. I’ve seen “Ladyhawke” many times; Cassie will probably love it. I’ll be happy either way.

Richard Maurer

Went with Ladyhawke but I’ve yet to see In Bruges.

Richard Maurer

Apparently nothing I’m voting for has a chance of winning.

Steve Mercier

This is one of the few times I'm not voting for the movie I think maybe you'll enjoy more. I definitely enjoy Ladyhawke myself (Rutger Hauer!!!), but holy @#!% In Bruges is just one of the best, funniest, and deeply human movies I've ever seen. It's definitely a dark comedy, which admittedly you do seem to quite often enjoy, and I hope you love it. But if Ladyhawke wins...that's cool too (Rutger Hauer!!!).

DarthRandal1138

In Bruges is the better movie, but if Ladyhawke loses you should definitely put a pin in it to come back to later. It would make for a good reaction with Carly.

Richard Maurer

I’d like to go back to just random picking the movies without genres to narrow things down - we got a more interesting selection of movies that way. I feel like genres were added just to better control what films got into MM - that’s not random as far as I’m concerned.

Chris Thom

Was Ladyhawke a big hit at the time? I'd never heard of it before this channel. People were going ape for it on one of the LIVE chats two or three years ago.

Clay F

Glad to see In Bruges winning.

David Collins

No guarantee it's even better for her. In Bruges is (one of) her brothers favorite movie so it might just be in the DNA.

David Collins

My boys fought hard to get "In Bruges" on this poll. Not sure I like it any better than "Ladyhawke" but I sure can't pick against it, considering it's pathway to get here.

Just Plain Bob

I think you’ll like In Bruges. It is a good film. I’d also recommend The Banshees of Inisherin, which features the same two leads and writer/director.

John Stephens

There were another 2 in the other post, so total of 4 .

Kristin

Please just watch both? Ladyhawke is so much a Cassie (and Carly) movie. It really deserves a watch.

Larry Darrell

Kinda unfair to make them compete.

Shehab Dawoud

In Bruges hopefully makes the chances of The Banshees of Inisherin better for a future watch.

Keith Jacobsen

Damn shame, Real Genius is very funny, imo.

Ronja Greger

I think too, Ladyhawke is not as well known and therefore will always have a hard time winning, but it is a wonderful movie and you would both deeply enjoy it, I think.

Mike Lemon

Welcome to my world.

K, Zachary

Ladyhawke isn't that the 80's movie that has Mathew Broderick and Michelle Pfeiffer that is completely unrealistic? In Burges has Colin Farrell in it and is actually really good. 8:30 MST that means 9:30 Minnesota time. As much as we would love to tune in, this is supposed to be a romantic weekend. So we'll have put the nix on that until we get back.

John Armbruster

I accept democracy in action, but Ladyhawke is such an 80s blast and the perfect Cassie movie. She has to watch it at some point.

Just Plain Bob

Well, Ladyhawke is a fantasy romance, so it’s pretty unrealistic. Of course, so are movies like Terminator, Alien, The Thing, most rom coms, The Godfather 1 & 2, most Hitchcock films, the entire Star Wars franchise, ET and many (almost countless) other great films.

Mike Lemon

@Larry - They can both watch, like normal. We don't need Carly arm wrestling Cassie to see if she's allowed. (jk)

Just Plain Bob

My memory of it was that it was not a blockbuster. I saw it at a friend’s geek-a-thon all night party near the end of my senior year of high school. We ate pizza, drank Jolt colas, played D&D and watched Ladyhawke and Monty Python and the Holy Grail all night long. I had not heard of it before watching it and this was just a year or two after it was in theaters. It gained a cult following on VHS.

Chris Thom

Your avatar photo looks so freaking familiar but I can't place it. Is that the kid from The Client grown up?

Clay F

I am opposite. My top choices winning. Seems recently has been slight shift of voting patrons towards movies I like, e.g., more modern, less 80s. Maybe in part b/c of incoming GoT fans as patrons?

Robert Evans

In Bruges is a wonderful film but after the emotional wringer that was Children of Men I think she deserves the sweetness of LadyHawke

Richard Maurer

That’s why they need to separate Classic from modern films, It worked really well for the sci-fi polls.

Anthony DiBern

Jonny Lee Miller and Angelina Jolie in Hackers! :)

Larry Darrell

Funnily enough… your avatar does look eerily similar to the poster of Apt Pupil (1998) featuring Brad Renfro and Ian McKellen.

Björn Karlsson

I guess you know it 😄 The Hunt is place 233-ish on the new popcorn request 😄😄

Richard Maurer

Well, if you’re just going to make up the rules as you go along…….. ;-)

Robert Baldino

I've seen both, and I'd say In Bruges is more unrealistic, lol.

Gary Brown

Ladyhawke is a must-see. I recently saw this and was very impressed by it.

Astraeos

Man I hope In Bruges wins. I don't even know what to say about that movie. A fine showcase of something that will equally make you laugh, feel disgusted and empty inside, yet somehow optimistic or appreciative of the beauty of life.

Brad Roberts

the only right answer here is both. You'll kick yourself for not watching the loosing title, no matter which it is.

Mike A

They're both good movies. But man, no one reacts to Ladyhawke, so that'd be cool to see.

AceofSpades501

Which ever wins, you'll watch Red, right? ; )

Clay F

She will.

Dean D Smith

loved Matthew Broderick in this

Shehab Dawoud

I did not know! It’s probably only getting a reaction through paf

Richard Maurer

I’d go with Real Genius over any of them.

Above Average Dave

I quote that one weekly. Then again, John Malcovitch's facial expressions in RED are worth the price of admission. Cassie would love both more than the two choices we're given is the cogent point here. But doesn't that always seem to be the way?

K, Zachary

Those are million dollar blockbuster movies and franchises Romcoms have chance to be realistic plus Romcoms are about love the universal language. Plus they make you feel good. Hitchcock is a famous director. I don't know even who directed this one. The only reason I watched this movie is because my brother promised I would like it when I was a kid. Of course I don't remember any of this I am just going by what he said. I remember a lot of movies from when I was a kid. I barely remember this. In Burges I distinctly remember, because I remember passing through Belgium on a train just a few years earlier.

LukeG84

What a disappointing result. Guess I’ll be watching Ladyhawke by myself.

Patrick

Ladyhawke. I know Cassie and Carly will love it

Richard Maurer

If you search ‘Ladyhawke reaction’ on YouTube there are several reactions to it. The most well-known reactor was Ashleigh Burton.

FilmFanFred

Disappointed that Ladyhawke didn't win. This was probably the closest we came to getting that reaction. Cassie, if you read this you really should watch this movie - especially with Cassie. I think you'd both love it! We know how you two love a good romance!

Clay F

Glad that In Bruges won. Looking forward to that reaction.
