Here is a Wildcard poll from our Sweet 16 March Movie Madness picks who did not make the final two (which I will be watching) Minus In Bruges and Ladyhawke which are in a biggest upset poll right now!

Comments

Edgar Gonzalez

The Last Boy Scout! OMG, I LOVE THAT MOVIE. Bruce Willis, Damon Wayans, Danielle Harris, Chelsea Field, Taylor Negron A definite Bruce Willis classic!

Alex Gorell

Been trying to get Cassie to watch the rocketeer for years now. It’s the perfect Cassie/Carly movie.

Brent bmc_comix

Little Shop!!! Gotta check out both endings! (But not mad at Rocketeer winning either!)

Robert da Spruce

I doubt it’ll win, but I know you enjoy a good thriller Cassie So I voted for The Next Three Days

Buran Doyon

Regarding Henry is excellent and Cassie will love it and on a completely different vein. Mystic River is beautifully acted. Lots of other good choices but those are my two.

theNYRfan

The Last Boy Scout please!

Just Plain Bob

Night of the Living Dead, the movie that re-invented the zombie genre. George Romero was an under appreciated genius, even outside the zombie genre. His first three Dead films, The Crazies, Martin, Creepshow, Monkey Shines, Knightriders, Two Evil Eyes and Bruiser are all superb. Martin, in particular, is an overlooked masterpiece.

Blake Evans

Last Boyscout and Mystic River are so good but Scott Pilgrim is so out there. Doesn’t get enough attention.

Tim Weaver

Going with the 2 underdogs I honestly think Cassie will ❤️ to the moon & back. Little Shop of Horrors & The Last Boyscout.

Connor P

Next Three days (Russel Crow) is a similar flavor to Law Abiding Citizen

John Neiberger

Lots of really great choices on this list. My favs are Regarding Henry, Mystic River, The Three Amigos and The Next Three Days. I think The Insider was fantastic but I'm not sure if it would be a good reaction movie. It's been awhile since I've seen it.

Uncle Phoenix

Wow, “In Bruge” vs. “Ladyhawke”. I can actually see Cass enjoying either one.

Uncle Phoenix

I am hoping for “The Last Boy Scout” (1991); but I’m worried that it is for purely nostalgia; and that Cassie won’t like it like “Highlander”.

DAVID COSTELLO

I'm pulling for Regarding Henry or Spinal Tap.

Anthony Carlson

One for each other and all for one The three brave Amigos are we Brother to brother and every one A brave Amigo We're fighting for justice and liberty Wherever you find us is where we will be For the three brave Amigos are we We are the three Amigos We are the three Amigos

LukeG84

There are some great movies in this poll, but Cassie absolutely must watch Three Amigos! Steve Martin, Chevy Chase and Martin Short. She’ll love this movie to bits. Please let it win. 🙏🏻

Brent bmc_comix

Wooo! Really pulling for Little Shop!!! :)

Philip Alan

Regarding Henry! Three Amigos will be fine, too.

Christian Becker

Well, here I go with Regarding Henry, Night of the Living Dead, and The Rocketeer. I wonder why Cassie hasn't seen Regarding Henry yet, if there is a movie that has a "Please watch me - Cassie" sticker on the label, then it's that one. Night of the Living Dead is a classic and should be watched at some point anyway, and The Rocketeer is simple, clean fun.

Chris Thom

Could've sworn The Next Three Days was on the channel already. That was the one about Kevin Costner and the Cuban Missile Crisis?

Kit Taylor

DANG so bummed. Mystic River is an absolute masterpiece. Nominated for Best Picture in 2003-04. For that matter so is "The Insider", best picture nom in 1999.

Cole Jennett

I think this one is a Russell Crowe movie

dansoddity

scott pilgrim is a 1 of 1 experience

JPDotCom23

Figures that Scott Pilgrim would be leading

DavidJPL

Costner / Cuban is actually "Thirteen Days". :)

Paul Cox

I can't believe you people have forced me to vote for ¡Three Amigos! to help prevent a Scott Pilgrim victory. Dark days.

Choof

Anything but 3 amigos

Choof

Hoping for Rocketeer or Scott Pilgrim

DavidJPL

I'm with the lead for "Scott Pilgrim..." because it will be the greatest Cassie surprise. That is, the other popular films will meet expectations, but this 'Comic Book' will be, "OMG this is so crazy!". :) Love stories, fun music, and a GREAT cast!!! Anna K. and Aubrey are scene stealers.

Keith Brown

The Rocketeer is a great Cassie and Carly watch as is Ladyhawke!

Stephen Dias

That’s what I was thinking!

Chris Thom

Really hope The Insider makes it to the channel eventually. One of the best movies of the 90's. A Based On A True Story Corporate Thriller. Great performances. And has some really neat special effects for the time, weirdly. Not totally sure why, but it's cool looking. Ridley Scott film.

Stephen Dias

I do love me some “Scott Pilgrim” and she will probably enjoy it. My first pick for Cassie, however, is “The Rocketeer.”

Richard Maurer

Night of the Living Dead should win. Unfortunately Scott Pilgrim will very likely win. Overrated film if there ever was one.

Gray

Never been too keen on watching scott pilgrim even though I do like Edgar Wright. But if it wins the poll... my hope is for Rocketeer

MrKsummer7

I'd hope Cassie would watch Night of the Living Dead in October, but I'm afraid it will end up in another poll full of watered-down horror films and not win again. The other is This is Spinal Tap. Such a great cult classic. Given that she's not in the industry or would not understand how things were back then, she may not get some of the puns and jokes. Like the censorship issue with the record company, as they ruled the original album cover was too sexually offensive, because it depicted a man shoving a leather glove into the face of a greased-up naked woman on all fours, tied to a leash. The cover was changed to just a straight Black design. The writers drew some inspiration from the 1979 Scorpions album Lovedrive and its controversial cover designs. Another would be David St. Hubbins' girlfriend, mirroring Yoko Ono, and causing such calamity that it almost breaks up the band. There are so many in this film that it still makes it fun to watch.

Richard Maurer

Definitely agree about NotLD. Too bad it has no chance against the mediocre movies in this poll.

Richard Maurer

It’s a shame it’s going to lose to a bunch of scrubs.

Tim Weaver

It's the prison break flick with Russell crowe

MaggieS61

Those are the two I voted for.

Tim Weaver

She'll love it. It's the buddy cop film ( yes I know technically neither leads are cops) that she somehow has missed out on

Chris Thom

Oh yay I didn't see NOTLD on there. It won't win, but I still wanna vote for it.

Rosario Cicero

“The authorities said best leave it unsolved really”

Christian Becker

I sometimes feel like Worf in Parallels with this community - Cassie is right, but the patrons’ voting feels slightly off to me :-D

Chris Thom

Oh I don't think I've heard of it. Is it good?

Chris Thom

Horror classic in Spring could be fun.

Richard Maurer

If you mean you only want to watch it once then that is correct.

Art Vandalaay

Night of the Living Dead was a groundbreaking, genre defining film that has some iconic moments. Same with Spinal Tap. But I appreciate them more than I love them. The rest are a mixed bunch. The Insider is probably my favourite but Scott Pilgrim is just a whole lot of fun. I’m rooting for Edgar Wright.

Daniel J Fort

Majority of Scott pilgrim actors before marvel and Star Wars scooped them up 🤣

Clay F

Glad to see SCOTT PILGRIM winning. Also voted Mystic River, The Insider, Night of Living Dead, Spinal Tap. I have been wanting her to react to Scott Pilgrim.

Just Plain Bob

I don’t know if Night of the Living Dead is even on her radar, beyond being on this poll. I don’t remember her ever bringing it up as an October reaction. I think it total disinterest on her part. I wish she had someone in her inner circle that actually knew something about horror films. From things she’s relayed that she’s been told, I don’t think anyone that’s advising her has any serious interest in horror films.

Just Plain Bob

Richard, there’s actually four films on this poll that I’d like to see reactions to. But my interest in them lags FAR behind NotLD. None of the rest defined an entire genre.

shireknight

Three Amigos all the way.

MahlerEnigmatic

Cassie would love Regarding Henry... That's all I have to say

Above Average Dave

She'd love The Rocketeer, too, but may want to save it for a private watch with her kids.

Above Average Dave

I saw Scott Pilgrim in the theatre and was waiting for all the "wow" that people were telling me about. Watched it again a few years later thinking I must've missed something and realized it was closer to dreck than wow. To each their own, but if it wins I will give it a YT like but have to pass.

Above Average Dave

MANHUNTER and THIEF are great Michael Mann early efforts. And speaking of series: CRIME STORY was great and only 2 seasons. But it won't even register with her YT audience.

Above Average Dave

There's a great mashup-opportunity here, folks: "This is Regarding the Next Three Days vs. the World of the Living Dead Shop of Horrors." Who's with me!?!

dansoddity

i mean you can be on your own island and have that take

Rick Rodriguez

No fair! You put all these on one poll?? 😫 The Insider. The last boy scout. The Rocketeer. Regarding Henry. I can't choose

Darren Harrison

A lot of good movies here. I picked "Regarding Henry."

Larry Darrell

I don’t think Cassie has anyone advising her on any films. In the early days, I thought Ben was doing that, but things Cassie has mentioned about him in the past, I don’t think he’s seen too many more films than Cassie. I’m still unconvinced Cassie has found any real passion for any kind of film yet, other than whenever she hear’s some aspect of a particular movie that interests her, she puts it on her “Cassie Pick” list. Nothing I’ve seen leads me to believe she is researching films and compiling a “Must Watch List” on her own or has a growing interest in films or their history. (-: Not a diss on ya Cass. Not everyone is born to be a Cinephile, and there’s nothing wrong with being a Normie. Sometimes I wish I was still a Normie because I’d probably still be enjoying most of the newer films instead of being so critical. ;-)

Ria Grix

Crazy to see Spinal Tap below so many. A piece of legendary mockumentary film. The Rocketeer is a much underrated movie for sure (I’m a fan of it) but is it better than Spinal Tap?

Tyler Foster

We're cancelling each other out here as Pilgrim is a most-wanted reaction from Cassie in my book.

Tyler Foster

Would be excited for Spinal Tap, The Insider, Little Shop (preferably the director's cut first and then the theatrical ending in the same video to discuss both), but I'm definitely most excited for Scott Pilgrim. Would also enjoy The Next Three Days, Night of the Living Dead, or The Last Boy Scout, and I'd watch full lengths for The Next Three Days, Three Amigos, The Rocketeer, Crimson Peak, and a Mystic River edited video. Only Regarding Henry I'm completely indifferent to.

Paul Cox

Hell is ever sitting through that movie a second time for me.

Bob Glickstein

You have made me have to choose between Scott Pilgrim and The Rocketeer. Curse you!

Carol_White

It doesn't matter how good Spinal Tap is. Cassie doesn't know anything about music and the whole thing would be a waste of time.

Tyler Foster

Honestly, I think there is a solid middle ground between whatever kind of viewer she was before the channel and a cinephile, and I honestly do think that can be fueled by simply seeing a wide selection of films, which she's done. She may not be researching film history, but most people are, unfortunately, fundamentally incurious, and the fact that she is more open than she's ever been before to all kinds of stories and genres still puts her in a different class than a "normie."

Tyler Foster

I saw it five times in theaters alone.

Katie Jackson

How about a Sore Losers Poll with everything that was eliminated in the first round

Joe J

It's all just personal taste, but looks like comedy will win the day this go-around.

Clay F

You can vote for both.

Clay F

Spinal Tap not my top choice but much prefer over Rocketeer. Would be a learning experience for Cassie, not waste of time. Expand her horizon. Plus, we vote for movies we like and want. IMDb 7.9, RT 98%, RT Audience 92% – This is Spinal Tap [Rob Reiner] IMDb 6.6, RT 67%, RT Audience 65% – The Rocketeer (PG) “The Rocketeer may ring hollow with viewers expecting more than simple fun and gee-whiz special effects.” My guess is some nostalgia going on w/voters who watched as a kid. Has Jennifer Connelly, which is a plus. “This Is Spinal Tap” rated R due to pervasive strong language, sexual references, and crude humor, rather than explicit nudity or violence. What surprises me is 3 Amigos close to Scott Pilgrim in votes. I get so few laughs out of 3 Amigos. I took my kid to see Scott Pilgrim in the theater at his request and was pleasantly surprised. Not the old titan cast of 3 Amigos but a good cast, e.g., Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Brie Larson, etc. IMDb 7.5, RT 83%, RT Audience 84% – Scott Pilgrim [Edgar Wright] IMDb 6.5, RT 45%, RT Audience 67% – 3 Amigos

Chris Thom

Oh s-- yeah it was Michael Mann. Been getting that wrong for a while apparently. I morph their movies together a lot in my head for some reason. Not sure if their styles are even that similar.

Nphvirgo

Regarding Henry is exactly the kind of movie you would love

Ike

REGARDING HENRY with Harrison Ford. Keep smacking that on a poll for sure!

Larry Darrell

@Tyler - Fair point. But take Taxi Driver for instance. I think she’s said that she knows nothing about the film. She thinks it had Al Pacino in it maybe. After so many years of doing this Channel, I feel like if she had any growing interest in learning about films and the want to know more about films, she would know something about Taxi Driver. At least the Director, Actor and inkling of a reason why this is a must see film. That’s the level of film appreciation I always hoped she’d get to. I’ll agree that someone who has seen a bunch of films that were outside their comfort zone and can recall something about at least half of them, is a step above being your average Normie. But not much. I’d say she’s more on the level of being the Queen of Normies. ;-) Until she finds the “want” to know more about films, and the “want” to watch films that she doesn’t know about, and starts to search for films herself that she doesn’t know and can pick out a film she knows nothing about, but can give you a reason why she wants to watch this particular film that she knows nothing about… then she will break out of the Normie box.

Aaron Ritchie

I see Scott Pilgrim is winning. I adore that movie but I really don’t think Cassie is going to get it.

MikeLL

Can someone confirm for me that Cassie has agreed to watch Gone With The Frickin' Wind?? That is wild and I can't wait for it!!!! But I guess I will have to??

Mannygogou

nice battle...! Of the 3 in the lead, the one I prefer is ahead so... best not jinx it. I would also like to see "Little Shop," Little Shop of Horrors..., plus I voted a few other titles.

Browniewin

So many good ones, I loved the musicals, the theatrical release version of Little Shop of Horrors, same for This is Spinal Tap, and The Three Amigos. Mystic River is an excellent film, but I figured out of these, you would enjoy The Rocketeer the most, so I voted for it.

Cole Jennett

The length of it isn’t doing it any favours I’d imagine.

Cole Jennett

Same. I will give it another shot, but when I tried watching it by myself at home, I ended up changing my mind after 20-25 minutes and watched something else.

Mike Lemon

"Plus, we vote for movies we like and want." Some of you do, I vote for variety.

bknsty14

Damn it, Mystic River is such a great movie. Taking nothing away from some of these other flicks, but it’s in a different league.

Canadianant

You can't really dust for vomit

Larry Darrell

I missed that in her post. Huh. Well Cool. Kinda of an uneventful notice for such a big film. I wonder if it’ll get put on the schedule, or be added to the big list of promised films. Another thing I noticed reading closer, is that this is a Sweet Sixteen poll, minus the Top 2 AND the 2 biggest upsets. Does that not mean if LadyHawke loses its matchup with In Bruges that it should also be in this poll, because it was in the Sweet Sixteen?? Just because 2 films were upsets, and she only promised one, shouldn’t lessen the other’s opportunities. Hmmm. Not that it would have any better chance over here either, but… just saying. :-)

djKENTO

shocked how close Three Amigos is to Scott Pilgrim. Do yall really like Chevy Chase? Or is it in spite of him?

Robert Baldino

Three Amigos is way better, regardless of how you feel about Chevy. I can see Cassie having a hard time wrapping her head around Scott Pilgrim.

My_Cousin_Mose

Only one of these movies goes to 11.

John A

Mystic River would make for a good reaction

Larry Darrell

People actually do like Chevy Chase. There are even people who love Chevy Chase. And there’s nothing wrong with that.

Zander

I know right? That movie hits really hard these days - great to see someone stand up to institutional greed.

Zander

Scott P will give you a migraine. Regarding Henry not polling too well, sorry to see.

T.L.A

Mystic River is the best on this list, and second place is not even close

djKENTO

Robert, I don't think Cassie will have any trouble understanding a movie about a dude who has to fight seven evil exes. It's not that deep. Larry, you're right. it's fine if you like him. I've just heard nothing but negative discourse about him over the past like... 20 years so it was surprising to me that so many people love Three Amigos. I personally have never vibed with his performances.

Clay F

I think Cassie will like it.

Clay F

Mystic River (great movie) is currently a respectable 6th place of the 12 choices.

Nathan Steele

A lot of odd comments thinking Cassie wont be able to handle Scott Pilgrim? Its an action-comedy with music and a crazy cast. Yes, theres a million video game references but its not like she wont be able to understand the plot or something, plus its super Canadian

Mike A

Oh man, I've been wanting to see Cassie react to The Rocketeer for years. Fingers crossed.

Just Plain Bob

I don’t get it, either. I’m an old fart and haven’t played video games in decades. But I had no trouble following the references. It’s not as though they’re obscure.

Rick Rodriguez

These are, majority, great picks. I hope The Insider and The Last Boy Scout are watched sooner, rather than later.

Clay F

The movies I like and want are a wide variety. In this poll, the movies I like and want I voted are Scott Pilgrim, Mystic River, The Insider, Night of Living Dead, Spinal Tap. Mike, you can vote for movies you don't like and don't want.

MikeLL

I 100% agree. Having it being beat by a piffle such as Scott Pilgrim is an offense against film appreciation.

Shehab Dawoud

Their styles are not similar. Scott has done a lot of sci-fi, epics, historical dramas, while Mann’s films are usually grounded and focuses on the criminal world.

Art of Free Speech

@djKENTO Sure, Chevy Chase is known for being a bit of an ass (okay, more than a bit), but if we go down that road, we have to despise anything by Robert Downey Jr. who stole 10s of thousands of dollars from people and smoked it, and never repented--to this day, he walks out of interviews if people bring it up. Compared to him, Chase is a saint, yet people rave about RDJ films. Now, none of that means Chase's humor should land for you. For me, some of it does, some of it doesn't. Fletch is fantastic, but the Vacation movies rub me the wrong way (very low brow humor). Lastly, I don't think the reference was to understanding a guy fighting 7 evil exes so much as the metaphorical approach to the directing, the bad music, and why playing songs is doing battle in a love story. SPvTW is easily in my bottom 100 films ever made ($ for $). It's just straight awful. Nothing matters, there are no consequences, nothing is earned, there's no growth. It's a pure vibe movie, and there's little I hate as much as a vibe movie. The entire world is non-sensical. It left me feeling WTF did I just watch, and darn, I'll never get those 2 hours back. To be completely fair, though, my tastes differ from most people. Several of the IMDB top 250 films are in my bottom 100, and on IMDB, SPvTW scores a very reasonable 7.5.

Art of Free Speech

Ahhh... the Anti-Art of Free Speech curse strikes again. I would be good with probably 7 out of 12 of these, so of course, the movie I think is, by far, the worst of the bunch is winning. Oh well. Sorry folks.

Richard Maurer

Clay - when you put it that way, variety for varieties sake doesn’t make a whole lot of sense lol.

Andrew Heller

Scott pilgrim is so so so overrated and bad, a case of people just picking the most visually throwup film they can

Andrew Heller

Im on that island…not only having micheal cera who is a terrible actor, it sucks lol

Andrew Heller

Im so suprised mystic river isnt getting more love, that movie was awesome…and sean penn, kevin bacon and tim robbins with clint eastwood directing? I mean come on

Jens Kristensen

In a perfect world - "The Rocketeer" would win this... but I grant it, - the competition is hard...

djKENTO

I'm sorry but your example of RDJ makes very little sense to me and I'm not trying to argue, I just didn't know people REALLY liked Chevy Chase. It's just surprising to me. It's not a big deal to me if you like him. In fact I said it was fine to like him, just that I don't. And you clearly read that part because you addressed other stuff from that comment. As for RDJ... I don't know what you're talking about. I can't find any evidence of him stealing money to get high and this idea that he didn't repent because he won't talk about it during a press junket makes zero sense to me. That whole reaction was fully justified on RDJ's part. He was there doing multiple interviews to promote The Avengers. He only has a few minutes. He's being paid by Marvel for it. it's a job. He doesn't owe that journalist the emotional labor of going through his traumatic past for that. It's not the time or the place. It was a deeply inappropriate move on the journalist's part. You have like 5-10 minutes to talk about Iron-Man and the Avengers and you're gonna bring up his prison time and his drugs and if he's fully past the difficulty with them? The entitlement of that was WILD to me. Again it's fine if you like him. I don't think it's nearly as bad as say... the guy who directed Jeepers Creepers.

Clay F

I voted Mystic River

Clay F

Scott Pilgrim is creative and much better than 3 Amigos. That’s the choice that faces us = Scott Pilgrim or 3 Amigos.

K, Zachary

We think that Mystic River, The Last Boy Scout, and Regarding Henry are definitely are favorites and definitely would make great reactions.

Jerrod Acree

The Rocketeer is a vastly superior film to Scott Pilgrim

DavidJPL

Sure. But I am here for a vastly superior Popcorn Reaction. A "Scott Pilgrim ..." watch will be awesome! :)

DavidJPL

And the sustain. Don't touch it. Don't even look at it. LOL

Clay F

The Rocketeer is a very respectable 3rd of the 12 choices, but is too far behind the top 2 to win. Maybe next time.

DavidJPL

I'm not here for "film appreciation". I'm here to enjoy great reactions.

DavidJPL

"In the mysterious land, of Toronto, Canada ...." I saw a comment that 'Scott Pilgrim...' had "bad music" and got triggered LOL - So, to be clear (and as it's currently winning); the music in 'Scott Pilgrim' is from Nigel Godrich, (Radiohead producer), and the band 'Sex Bob-Omb' songs were written by Beck. Also consider director Edgar Wright ('Baby Driver', 'The Sparks Brothers', etc.) and you know that the music will be awesome. While musical tastes are certainly personal, in my opinion the music is one of the best parts of Scott Pilgrim. The entire movie is constant smiles and laughs. :) Here is a great music video (some 'Trailer/Teaser' type spoilers): https://youtu.be/f-H9bbi0Vyw

Nicholas

Take Rocketeer off the list and automatically react to it because the film was made for you!!!

Jonathan

I love "Mystic", but c'mon... "The Insider", bro.

Jonathan

What is there to get?

Jinkies-1738

Please React to "Michael Jackson Moonwalker 1988, Short Film"

J

wow, haven't seen such a loaded list in a while....can't really go too wrong here

bknsty14

Pretty sure this movie would also be a great reaction.

Clay F

Current - I wonder why the bottom 2 so low in votes. Not well known? 1. Scott Pilgrim - 344 votes . . . 7. The Last Boy Scout - 184 8. Regarding Henry - 158 9. Night of the Living Dead - 138 10. The Insider - 118 *11. The Next Three Days - 57 (next-to-last) *12. Crimson Peak - 38 (last place) I voted The Insider and Night of the Living Dead, both in the bottom third.

Joe J

Close poll. There's clearly a strong interest in all the Top 6 vote-getters, yet it takes the Top 4 combined to get 50% of the total vote. As we discussed before, she could watch all films that get 300 votes, or do her usual run-off poll.

Clay F

I think she reacts to first place and that's it. She has too big of a backlog (e.g., Earth Girls are Easy, etc.). Consider the last poll this month -- started out with 20 movies w/strong interest in Black Swan (dominant win in prelim poll of 10 choices) that came in 2nd behind Taxi Driver in the final poll. No reaction to the 2nd place Black Swan.

DavidJPL

I think the issue / challenge here is such a diverse list in this Poll. There are Cult-Classic comedies, Acclaimed Dramas, Action, Horror, Musical (!), and yes; Unknowns, etc. I know Cassie has a big backlog, but I am wondering/hoping that she adds at least 3~4 of these to that backlog (top votes from each genre?) since they have gotten so many positive comments. ( I'd love Black Swan! lol ) So many movies, so little time!

DavidJPL

Too funny, I remember really liking this decades ago / at the time, and since it's never available on any streaming I ended up purchasing a (Bootleg?) DVD copy a few years ago. It's not a "short film", it's a legit 90 min. story with gangsters and whatnot, and the extended version of 'Smooth Criminal' is worth it alone! (Probably on YouTube). https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095655/

Mark Vaderr

Night of the Living Dead should be winning this poll easily. Instead the overrated eye-candy of Scott Pilgrim, and the terrible comedy Three Amigos are the top vote getters. Disgusting! Also sad at how little respect The Insider is getting.

Mike Lemon

I voted for Night of the Living Dead, it couldn't win. Pilgrim is good if you can get into the ... style(?) of it. I don't think Cassie will though.

Clay F

Current Top 5. Looks like a movie released in the 21st century wins. 1. IMDb 7.5, RT 83%, RT Aud 84% – Scott Pilgrim (2010) [Edgar Wright] – 350 votes 2. IMDb 6.5, RT 45%, RT Aud 67% – 3 Amigos (1986) (PG) – 312 3. IMDb 6.6, RT 67%, RT Aud 65% – The Rocketeer (1991) (PG) – 276 4. IMDb 7.9, RT 98%, RT Aud 92% – This is Spinal Tap (1984) (R) [Rob Reiner] – 246 5. IMDb 7.9, RT 89%, RT Aud 89% – Mystic River (2003) (R) [Eastwood] – 239

Mark Vaderr

Cassie might get into it or she might not. I've never understood the appeal of this movie. I forget which studio distributed Scott Pilgrim, but I remember that after Wonder Con & Comic Con, they received massive excitement from the fans for it and they thought they had a major blockbuster on their hands. They didn't. You cannot depend on just the target audience If you want to make big money, you have to appeal to a bigger audience. That's why for the longest time video game movies were never major blockbusters, until the fairly recent Super Mario Bros. movie.

Chris Thom

Loved that so much as a kid. Especially Speed Demon, and Smooth Criminal.

Brent bmc_comix

Really hoping for Little Shop or Rocketeer!!! And hi Tyler! :)

LukeG84

Cassie will enjoy Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, but she would have loved Three Amigos! Here’s hoping Cassie pulls an audible and watches the runner up too like she used to. 🤞🏻

Oh, wow, last time I checked in Spinal Tap was at the top of the charts, you gotta watch it some time Cassie! I think you' ll love it, so funny and original, Rob Reiner's first movie directing?

Richard Maurer

This whole “backlog” thing could be a problem in of itself. I hope she spreads these backlog movies out - one a month, at the most. Otherwise we’re going have a bunch of movies she promised on a whim, not necessarily movies a lot of people are interested in.

Joe J

IMO, any backlog of "promised" films is just our wishful thinking. I don't think Cassie has any timeline in mind for any of those.

Richard Maurer

The video game vibe of the movie was amusing at first but that’s really all it had going for it, kind of a one-trick pony of a movie.

Richard Maurer

In answer to your question Clay - I don’t remember hearing anything about The Next Three Days, and Crimson Peak, while it’s a Guillermo del Toro film, is neither a very popular one, or considered one of his best ones. I’m not surprised these two ended up at the bottom of the poll.

Joe J

So, Cassie will be reacting to the following four films sourced from March Madness. Glad she gets four reactions for all the effort, lol. U.S. Marshalls (winner) Gone with the Wind (runner-up) In Bruges (Biggest upset Poll winner) Scott Pilgrim vs the World (Sweet 16 Losers Poll winner)

I don't think there will be any kind of run off but she could react to 2nd place Three Amigos. I would rather get Earth Girls are Easy out of the way. On her own, she specifically mentioned Earth Girls are Easy (on her radar, not likely to be forgotten) in the PAF drawing Live Saturday night. IMDb 6.5, RT 45%, Roger Ebert 1/4 – 3 Amigos (1986) (PG). A good cast but not really a funny movie. An occasional chuckle. No laugh out loud moments. IMDb 5.5, RT 68%, Roger Ebert 3/4 – Earth Girls are Easy (1988) (PG). Geena Davis, Jeff Goldblum, Jim Carrey, Daman Wayans.

I think many patrons wouldn't be bothered if she forgot Earth Girls. In a hastily contructed live poll (with less participation than typical patron poll) during the last Live unpackaging, she randomly selected 4 DVDs (below) from DVDs she received, and did the Live poll (results below). Johanna enlists – 8% League of superpets – 19% Earth girls are easy – 37% Expendables 2 – 35%

I would rather have 13th Warrior (think won Live poll) than 3 Amigos or Earth Girls. 13th Warrior not critically acclaimed but I have nostalgia for it.

Wasn't 28 weeks later one too after the picks

Clay F

Instead of reacting to 2nd place 3 Amigos, I would rather her: 1. React to 28 Weeks Later she randomly selected in March Madness from movies remaining in pool not assigned to a team. 2. React to director's cut of Kingdom of Heaven . At 2:22:19 in the Kingdom of Heaven (2005) - Full Reaction (Theatrical Release), she said "My plan is to watch the director's cut." In the thumbnail text, she said "And yes, I am planning on watching the dc!" Exclamation point. https://www.patreon.com/posts/kingdom-of-2005-154287956 3. Do the 2026 PiB Watch goal = "Rewatch Nolan's Batman's" https://www.patreon.com/posts/upcome-what-may-147672279

Most of the reactors watching Scott Pilgrim seem to like it.

Joe J

Was 28 Days Later a hard promise to watch? I don't want to go back and try to find when she selected it.

Clay F

28 Weeks Later - she did not use the word "promise" (she rarely uses that word) nor was in a poll, but she did randomly select saying she would react to whatever she randomly selected. A consolation to the movies remaining in the pool that weren't assigned to teams.

Mark Vaderr

Yes, but Universal wisely made it an animated movie, and as long as they delivered the eye candy, especially for the kids, they didn't have to worry about writing and story telling. Other studios should take note when making video games into movies.

Richard Maurer

So she confirmed GWtW? Figures that would be the runner up she picks/s

Richard Maurer

Clay - That’s about as close to a promise as we’ll get. And you’re right about the poll with Earth Girls Are Easy - the only reason it won was because of the other films it was up against.

Joe J

GWtW did make the final two. To quote Cassie, "Here is a Wildcard poll from our Sweet 16 March Movie Madness picks who did not make the final two (which I will be watching)?"

@djKento Talk to the people from whom RDJ stole 10s, even 100s of thousands, and then tell me how great a guy he is. Or better yet, let someone steal that much from you, and then have others tell you how great a guy that person is. RDJ, from those who know him, is a POS... arrogant, unrepentent, and just an overall product used on a summer's eve.

djKENTO

So you're just going to ignore everything I said and basically post the same comment for a second time. Not even going to name the people he supposedly stole from, just repeating yourself. I'm not going to have a circular conversation with you, when I already said multiple times IT'S FINE IF YOU LIKE HIM.
