I'd like to welcome everybody to the Wild Wild West!

After Carly and I loved Tombstone so much and not getting as much Western as I want in Mando this season, we're doing it....Another Western Poll. There will be more, so don't worry if you're favorite isn't one of these!

THIS IS POLL B, ALSO GO VOTE ON POLL A, THE TOP TWO FROM EACH WILL FACE OFF IN A CHAMPIONS POLL!

Could be fun! Ends on Thursday at midnight MST

Ps. I have seen the newer True Grit, that new one with Chris Pine-Hell or High Water, and of course on the channel-Tombstone, Unforgiven, The Good The Bad and The Ugly and our winner from our last Western Bracket:MAVERICK!

1,2,3 Draw

Comments

Just Plain Bob

Kevin Costner and Robert Duvall are fantastic in Open Range.

Cactus Tony

Those of us that have been around awhile know that Cass and Carly would love the Quick and the Dead the most on this list, even if it isn't the best movie.

WeekendWarrior88

Watched The Quick and The Dead so many times as a kid. I hope it wins

T.K.

While I really like the Quick and the Dead, Open Range is just fantastic and easily the best on that poll

Bill Maurer

"Quick and the crappy film"

David Freese

Would love for the ladies to watch Magnificent 7.

Just Plain Bob

I will admit that, although I like all the movies listed in both polls, I’m disappointed that Silverado wasn’t included. One of the all time great westerns.

Gary David Holbrook

As of right now, Clint Eastwood/Outlaw Josey Wales/Pale Rider is only tracking at 12%/10% respectively. What in the heck is wrong with you people?

thomas king

Its an insult that The Quick and the Dead is on this list. One of the worst Westerns ever.

Godzilla Jones

There's no wrong choices here, really. Add also to the eventual list, Outlaw Josey Wales and Jeremiah Johnson, which are top notch. and though I love Tombstone to pieces, Lonesome Dove is my #1 western recommendation.

Hankster

Looks like no love for The Duke, The Searchers is one of the all time great westerns and John Wayne at his best

Mike Gallagher

All the choices are great. I do wish High Noon was on the list though.

Bubba Fett

Shame sons of Katie elder isn't on here. One of my favorite Wayne movies. A lesser known but fun one "support your local sherrif" would be one i think she'd like.

Shawn Kildal

My hope is that Open Range and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is close enough to influence Cassie to watch both. I do have love for The Searchers and Clint is right there in my all-time favorite actors.

Jacob Colson

Open Range, hells to the yeah!

LightsCameraJake

I've been recommending quick and the Dead for like a year now, glad to see it on the list. Worth a watch at some point even if it don't win. Plus it's one of Leonardo Dicaprio first appearances in a movie. Very early days of his acting career.

phillip tarkington

The newer magnificent 7 was great to star studded cast

Jay Robert

Open Range is a masterpiece.

Just Plain Bob

The biggest problem with both polls is that there are so many fantastic westerns that it’s impossible to compile a reasonably sized list, or even two or three, that won’t inevitably leave off movies that deserve to be included.

Jim Finley

Interesting, I was just thinking about Open Range and thinking that it would be a great one for Cassie to view. One of Kevin Costner's best performances, and you can't go wrong with Robert Duvall or Annette Benning.

zynjams

Open range has the best gun fight ever

Al Swearengen

I got the impression that they didn't like Tombstone all that much. Guess I was wrong. Open Range has to be the winner. Love the interaction between Cosner and Duvall.

zynjams

You should recognize the young actor in open range is also in Star Wars rogue one

zynjams

Sure wished True Grit was on this list

Gilbert Gonzalez

I’m so happy Open Range is winning lol that’s like my favorite western movie

Todzilla

Magnificent Seven has the best theme next to Star Wars. Let's hope it can over come Open Range 🤞

Joe

People generally be dissing on "The Quick & The Dead", but for me, Hackman is just so over the top in that film, it's a guilty pleasure.

Richard Maurer

Shane really needs to be on one of these western polls in the future. I'm not a big fan of the older westerns but Shane is one that is really great.

Richard Maurer

Unfortunately the Quick and the dead doesn't look like it has much of a chance.

Scb333

Pale Rider’s great guess it’s a bit too old though.

Gary Trousdale

Did they already do “Unforgiven”? “Hostiles” is pretty awesome as well.

Just Plain Bob

You could easily compile a list of all time great westerns that was solely comprised of John Wayne movies.

Scb333

Hostiles is awesome but maybe a bit dark for Cassie haha.

Mannygogou

wow that's a good list!

Richard Maurer

High Plains Drifter - next poll please.

Larry Darrell

Agreed. Hostiles is like Unforgiven in the same way as it should be watched much, much further down the list of Westerns. Cassie is still in the 101 Class, and Hostiles is a little too Advanced.

Sean Novack

People have to remember WHO they are recommending a film to. The fact that so many were recommending "Unforgiven" to someone who had never seen a Western movie and had no grounding in the history or genre as her FIRST FILM shows that people only think about what THEY like, not what is appropriate or enjoyable to see someone react to.

Scb333

Exactly. If she really does appreciate Westerns she’ll love it but for now yes a bit too intense for her lol.

Scb333

Yes that’s another reason Cassie might love/hate Hostiles. I was suprised with Unforgiven to its good but as someone new maybe start with the spaghetti Westerns of the 50s/60s even I found Unforgiven a bit dark. It’s a great film but like you said she’s new to the Western genre.

Bill W

Easy to guess the winner here. People have been requesting it since Cassie started the channel.

Jeff Young

Dark—The Wild Bunch

David Freese

Cassie made a comment that she forgot to put it on the poll. She said it would be on the next one.

Jens Kristensen

Wauw, five amazing westerns - "The Quick And The Dead" is a huge personal favorite - Sam Raimis cool style of directing combined with a stellar cast and fantastic music. But my pick is "The Magnificent Seven" - the 60s version is a impressive ensemble piece of wonderful actors and the story is just as good. It was inspirered by the japanese movie "The Seven Samurai" by Akira Kurosawa...

Stick Figure Studios

Definitely seems to be a recency bias in thesee polls given that the two westerns leading were made post-2000. I'm not opposed to OPEN RANGE winning. It's a good flick, but I'm going with the original MAGNIFICENT SEVEN.

Gábor Árki

Pleased to see The Magnificent Seven is catching up. It may have a chance at winning the championship after all. 🙂

John Cranberry

The Magnificent Seven should be a shoe in. 🤦‍♀️

Walter

dang, I was hoping Silverado would be on the list.

Wendy

I think these are great choices. I think you will love Open Range, there is a love story there. :)

Jonny Kerr (JK)

If you do the original Magnificent Seven make sure you do the new version too some time. Denzel and Chris Pratt are awesome in it. Everyone is. Too many people to name.

warcrimes

Pale Rider is a DL western classic

Dan Waller

The original Magnificent Seven was my Dad's favorite. It is a great movie!

Gary Trousdale

Fair. I didn’t want to go with the other end of the spectrum, like “Support Your Local Gunslinger” or “Paint Your Wagon”, but I wasn’t sure how far to go. Cassie is definitely putting on her big girl pants for this channel, sorry if I jumped the gun though. The old Clint Eastwood stuff (High Plains Drifter, Fistfull of Dollars, etc) can also be intense. Another seriously good Western from the 70’s is “Little Big Man” (Dustin Hoffman, Faye Dunaway, Chief Dan George, Richard Mulligan). It walks that delicate balance between comedy and tragedy without screwing up either.

YodatheHobbit

Haha, I've seen one of these, heard of two.

Steven Perez

OPEN RANGE is one of my all-time favorite movies. Action, romance, and one of the best showdowns in Western cinematic history. I predict that you and Carly would love it.

Mike LL

It is the Cassie and Carly movie of these two polls. They both would love it and it would be a very entertaining reaction.

Mike LL

You spoke too soon, before Mag 7 pulled ahead. Mag 7 is a fine movie and Western, Open Range would be so much better as a reaction vehicle for Cassie and Carly. They both would LOVE Open Range.

Chad Bailey

Pale Rider another amazing one with a simple yet great story!

Mike LL

There are so many posts in favor of Open Range. It has my vote. I don't understand why it is not ahead since it has the most posts in favor of it.

Mike LL

Hands down, the best reaction of all these movies would be Open Range. Some of the other movies might even be better MOVIES, but Cassie and Carly would both LOVE Open Range. I have to vote the best REACTION over the best MOVIE.

Michael Lynch

Oh come on guys, you know damn well she’s going to like open range more than the original magnificent seven.

Mike Melfa

How is the Searchers not doing better on this poll?

Robert Jewell

Big vote here for Open Range. The other contender is a western remake of a Japanese samurai film that I'm one of the few who think is overrated. But Open Range you'll love.

rakesh

The magnificent 7 has to win this. Has everything and all the classic old school stars. Seven Samurai for the win!

Elliot Nesterman

Either of the Magnificent Sevens pale in comparison to the original film on which they were based, Akira Kurosawa's masterful "Seven Samurai," which is universally regarded as one of the greatest films in all cinema history. For some reasons films in foreign languages are rarely covered by youtube reactors. I suppose it's because American audiences (and I suspect the vast majority of reactors' viewers are American) mostly don't watch foreign films. I put it down to our generally insular culture.

Jason Chirevas

Second verse, same as the first. One of the best movies ever made is buried by lesser choices, including a 90s cartoon and A Movie From The 2000s, always a popular favorite here.

ENC SW DV Rush

Personally, The Quick and the Dead would be my last pick on this poll - cheesy, unrealistic plot, and terrible acting - I don't know how anyone could think it even deserves to be on the poll,... it's flashy and violent and totally unrealistic as a western. It mocks the historical west.

Casey Nicholson

Not even..The original Magnificent 7 was terrible. Typical Cheesy 1960 Film with terrible acting, sound and cinematography.

Hondo the Cat

With the greatest of respect, True Grit (remake) is one of the grimmest Westerns ever made. I've watched enough of Cassie's reactions to know that some of the darker movies aren't really to her taste but she watches them for us anyway. True Grit is just... on another level. Can we at least pair it up with Paint Your Wagon to restore her mood afterwards?

Jessie Fenton

It was a tough decision between Open Range and The Quick and the Dead.

Chris Davis

Fair! I love both for different reasons, but I think Open Range should be first...

Stuart Guthrie Jr.

Me bring a Clint Eastwood fan I will have to go with Pale Rider

Tinker

Lonesome Dove would be a great reaction. Mini series, but iconic.

Nathan Swapp

Appaloosa 2008. It has Vigo Mortensen (Aragorn) and Ed Harris (General Hummel- The Rock)

nick bell

Cassie will probably love Open Range. But all are good choices

Jayson Phillips

Josey wales is better than all these imo! And I grew up on westerns

Craig G

Open range is sooo good

Scott Earhart

Open range in my opinion is Kevin Costner best movie

LuMarq

Finally Open Range!!! fingers crossed

Roger Banks

This was a tough choice for me. Both The Searchers and The Magnificent Seven are so iconic and classic but they both have a lot of backstory to learn. I voted for Open Range this time.

Celeste McAllister

All the directors of above films were inspired by 'The Searchers', starring the #1 box office draw for more than 40 years John Wayne and it's legendary director John Ford...This time we will get a real western not a reboot of a 1960's TV series..

Paul Mellette

Open Range is such a great movie. A little slow early on, but the climax is worth the ride! Plus I know you girls LOVE Kevin Costner ;)

Matthew S Graham

My name is 'Matthew Shane'. I was named after Alan Ladd's 'Shane' and James Arness' 'Matt Dillion'. I agree, Cassie should watch Me!

Jon Johns

So many of these films came from YouTube comments, so always be sure to leave your ideas there, and also up vote your choices on the suggestions app! There are not a lot of westerns in the top 25 there.

Jon Johns

I don't know how you got that impression at all... But I guess we all see different aspects. Which is fine! I saw they really liked it...

Bill Maurer

I love Sam Raimi: Evil Dead series, Spiderman 1 and 2 (not so much 3), A Simple Plan and Oz. QatD is just not that good a movie, my opinion, and a bad western. It is a 1990's version of a Western should be. Just my two cents. Nice last name.

Powers209

Next western poll, I have a suggestion. Two Mules for Sister Sara Clint Eastwood and Shirley Maclaine. I think it's a western the girls will like.

Bill Maurer

Bingo !!! It's not a real Western, it's what the 1990's thought a Western should be. If it wasn't for a young Leo or Russel Crowe (before they made it big), no one would have heard of this movie

Dave Sees Movies

My favorite movie in this lot (not the best) is "Pale Rider," but as it has no legit shot at winning, gotta go with the western with the loudest SFX ever: "Open Range."

Bill Maurer

Best Western ever made and one of the greatest movies of all time. It only went on to inspire the likes of Spielberg and Scorsese. But, what do they know

Bill Maurer

Shane is a great movie. Stood the test of time and is still awesome to watch.

Bruce C Snell

Not surprisingly, the two best in that group are winning right now. For future polls, let me recommend Big Jake -- my favorite John Wayne western, and The Wild Bunch -- one of the best ever.

Dave Sees Movies

What's to get? It post-AoD and pre-Spider-Man when Raimi was figuring out what to do and more or less getting nothing right, aside from maybe "A Simple Plan." "The Quick and the Dead" has a limp screenplay and all Raimi's directorial flourishes just make the limp stuff between action set-ups stand out. Barf.

Hondo the Cat

I'd say Robin Hood is the best Kevin Costner movie but that's an Alan Rickman movie that Kevin Costner is in! ;) :D

Robby R

If you don't vote Open Range you are wrong....

Neill Shaughness

I strongly recommend seeing Seven Samurai before Magnificent 7. I usually advise people to treat Seven Samurai, The Magnificent 7, and finally The Three Amigos as a trilogy

Bill Maurer

Great point, not so sure about Three Amigos. But Magnificent 7 is straight out of Seven Samurai

'Pappy' Johnston

Open Range has Kevin Costner, beautiful NON DUSTY cinematography, and a love story built in ta' boot! So vote OPEN RANGE for Cassie.

Richard Maurer

QatD, like all Raimi's movies, isn't meant to be taken all that seriously, certainly not as seriously as you people are taking it. It's meant to be a bunch of cool gunfights with a little bit of story behind them - which is exactly what it is. . Your last name is pretty cool too, Bill.

Richard Maurer

Surprised to see The Magnificent 7 pull ahead of Open Range. If it's close near the end I may change my vote from QatD to Magnificent 7.

G

Cassie and Carly loved Tombstone. They'll love another comic book western. The Quick and The Dead.

Richard Bourne

There is a little know 1972 movie "The Magnificent Seven Ride!" starring Lee Van Cleef. Not a big budget movie, but still pretty good and follows the story of "The Magnificent Seven" for the most part with a few changes.

Rick Williams

All good movies. Open Range has a romance that Cassie and Carly would like.

Terry Wood

The Searchers is a top 10 film of all time, not just Westerns. John Ford directs and John Wayne stars. The film has a subtle plot point that’s obvious but so many miss. It’s a commentary on racism disguised as a Western revenge film. One of Wayne’s best performances. John Ford also directed The Quiet Man.

Terdell Ferguson

Open Range is the best of these. I would also add the remake of The Magnificent Seven with Denzel Washington and Chris Pratt is superior to the original. I was shocked when my dad told me he thought that, and after contemplating on it for a while, I think I agree.

Stick Figure Studios

I don't think so. Not even close really. Little Bill was not an outright villain. He was more complex than that. Yes, he was an authoritarian, but he had his own personal moral code and he really felt that he was doing the right thing. He was just trying to keep law and order in his town but he did it ineffectively and his failure resulted in havoc. Herod didn't care about law or order or any kind of morality. Right or wrong meant nothing to him. He was on a power trip and he reveled in the chaos he created. He was an outright villain with no redeeming qualities at all. You could hardly find two antagonists played by the same actor who are more dissimilar.

John Cranberry

How old are you Casey? I bet you prefer the remake.🤦‍♀️ It will win the poll 🥳

Stick Figure Studios

I'm voting for it as well. I liked OPEN RANGE and wouldn't be too upset if it won, but I think Cassie needs to watch more classic westerns.

Neill Shaughness

That's fair, I just usually figure most people see that as kids, but it's definitely a strong part of the tradition.

Mike LL

I really did think that when I saw Open Range in the movie theater. "Man, those gunshots are LOUD!" Thunder, too!

Mike LL

I'm not sure about the way you put that, but I'm on your side. Robby R. Open Range might not be the best movie, but it would be the movie that Cassie (and Carly!) would like the best! Isn't that what this should be all about?

Stick Figure Studios

I didn't think it was that bad. I enjoyed it myself. Definitely the weakest of those three, but still doesn't it feel like a more fitting final entry in that trilogy than THREE AMIGOS?

Neill Shaughness

The original, the American remake, then the parody. It's the complete halflife of a cinematic trope. The newer Magnificent 7 didn't add anything new to the conversation. Also I think Three Amigos is a much better film.

Mike LL

There were four movies in the original series. Return of the Seven (1966) only Yul Brynner returns in the first sequel. Guns of the Magnificent Seven (1969) George Kennedy is recast in the Yul Brynner role! The Magnificent Seven Ride! (1972) whole new cast starring Van Cleef. Remake of the original was 2016.

Tom Holman

Magnificent Seven, please. It has the same director (John Sturges) as The Great Escape. He should be better known as one of the great directors. The Searchers is great, and you should eventually see that, too.

Uncle Phoenix

Has anyone else noticed that Popcorn hasn’t watched “The Wedding Ringer”, and it’s not available on the Popcorn Request page. :-(

Uncle Phoenix

AND, its got Alan Ritchson in case anyone else thinks that Cassie and Carly would absolutely love the Jack Reacher series.

JONATHAN REDFERN WILLIAMS

I wonder if Cassie will ever watch the notorious western, Heaven's Gate (1980)? A film so notorious because it cost so much to make, bombed so badly at the box office that it financially ruined the studio that backed it. The very same studio that made the Rocky and James Bond films, United Artists.

Robert Nelson

Wyatt Earp came out around the same time as Tombstone. A lot more background into Wyatt. Stars Kevin Costner, Gene Hackman, and Dennis Quaid as Doc Holiday. You should really watch it, even if you do not do a reaction to it.

Richard Maurer

The remake belongs on the of pile of unnecessary remakes that plague hollywood these days.

Mannygogou

I switched my vote to Open Range from... The Quick and The Dead (many good choices here)

Adino1

Pale Rider is my choice as I always liked the original The 7 Samurai more than The Magnificent 7. But you can't go wrong with Open Range either.

alex

The Searchers is the best film of the bunch by far, but I think it's a little bit too emotional for her to watch.

David Collins

Open Range is soooo good. Plus it will open the door to Star Wars Andor as Diego Luna, who plays Button in Open Range, also plays Cassius Andor and is such a great actor. And Cassie, you're going to have to decide and just pick one (or have a poll of just his movies) if you ever want to watch a John Wayne movie and experience the GOAT. Don't see his movies ever winning internet polls. We lost him way too long ago and his legend is sadly fading.

alex

Very emotional movie; seeing how they treated such a sensitive topic in the 50s was shocking both in how raw it was but also how filtered.

'Pappy' Johnston

Well.... If you vote for open range, and it wins, That means magnificent seven would come in second behind it and maybe she'd watch both! 😁😄

Larry Darrell

After Good Morning Vietnam, Red River (1948) or Rio Bravo (1959) would’ve been cool to watch. For Walter Brennan… you know.

Brian O'Grady

The Searchers is, quite simply, the best Western ever made.

Rosario Cicero

Where’s Once Upon a Time in the West?

Jason Chirevas

No, it’s not. We’re not here to service Cassie any more than she’s here to service us. Cassie has said from the outset PIB is about expanding her horizons. I wouldn’t even make the argument OPEN RANGE won’t do that, but the “vote for what Cassie will like best” philosophy is not why we’re all here. It’s also, frankly, boring and a little insulting to Cassie, as it’s led, in part, to a lot of banal, milquetoast choices here.

Joseph Rardin

I've been patiently waiting for her to watch Magnificent Seven for a year now.

Joseph Rardin

My top 5 Westerns Magnificent Seven 1960 True Grit The Good, The Bad and The Ugly 3:10 to Yuma 2007 Winchester 73 Most Westerns after 1990 are very meh.

Mr Trick

How is The Searchers not winning? Cassie has yet to touch any classic westerns and that would be a great place to start. (Can’t do that without John Wayne.

Captain Caveman

I agree with you but I am always trying to get any reactors to do The Outlaw Josey Wales. So many great one liners.

JSharp

As far as the type of story Cassie and Carly would love, definitely Open Range. Not even close. They would absolutely love that one. Plus they're in love with Kevin Costner.

zynjams

1. how about Little Big Man, Dustin Hoffman, 2. Tom Hanks in News of the World, 3. 100 rifles, Raquel Welch, 4. Red Sun, Charles Bronson, 5. a million ways to die in the west, Seth MacFarlane, 6. Wyat Earp, Keven Costner, 7. 2 Mules for Sister Sara, Clint Eastwood. a few really good westerns not on the list.

Mike Lemon

'There will be more, so don't worry if you're favorite isn't one of these!' There are only 10 spots, not every movie ever made can fit on that list.

Mike Lemon

@Jon- ' ...YouTube comments, so always be sure to leave your ideas there' No. That is why I pay to be here.

nick bell

Cmon everyone. Make it a tie so she has to watch both

Mike LL

Here is a shoutout to a couple of other Westerns that are poll worthy. Red River (1948) with John Wayne, Montgomery Clift, and the ever good looking Walter Brennan. Destry Rides Again (1939) with James Stewart and Marlene Dietrich (this is who Madeline Kahn was imitating in Blazing Saddles) about a lawman who won't wear a gun.

Mike LL

This is just the preliminaries where the top two from each poll join in to a Final Four of Westerns. Then things will get interesting.

Timothy Williams

Searchers is the greatest Western ever made and you will love Open Range, but The Magnificent Seven is classic and lots of fun so I chose Magnifcent 7. I think you and Carly would enjoy it the most of all of these.

Terry Wood

Two great suggestions. Red River was a true step forward for Wayne as an actor, and Clift was excellent, too.

Cojuancidence

McLintock! its free on youtube with some favorites from A Quite Man* John wayne classic starring his son and Muareen O'Hara. Love what you do, Grand thanks to You and Carly!

Clifton Owens

Open Range is a fantastic movie and the love story between Kevin Costner, and Annette Benning has a unique realness to it for the time period and their age.

Michael Lynch

This is a shame, because popcorn actually voted for open range.

Nolan Ryan

Some of us like Robert Mitchum more than John Wayne. Although I think this is his best film before the predictable persona and catch phrases. lol

Brian Lowery

Open Range is an under appreciated film. A real gem. My second pick would be Pale Rider.

JW

Probably the best acting by the Duke, outside of True Grit.

Mike Carey

disappointed that neither poll contains High Noon. Great movie, won 4 Academy Awards and among the first movies to be picked by the LIbrary of Congress for preservation in the National Film Registry. Oh well, maybe next time. These are all good movies too though :)

Richard Maurer

Switched my vote to The Magnificent Seven as TQATD clearly isn't going to win.

Joe

Open Range is a modern classic, hope Cassie will watch it anyway. TMS is a fine movie, but typical Hollywood type Western of the time, and dated IMO.

Joe

For me, TMS has not dated well, I hope Cassie will watch Open Range also.

Doug Cook

Good point. High Noon and Liberty Valance are the two best Westerns made

barnabas

| disappointed that neither poll contains High Noon Or Shanghai Noon, either... 😉

John Casamassa

I'm stoked that Magnificent Seven won!!! They were all good choices, though.

Celeste McAllister

I'm all for a western poll every three or four months,perhaps 'Ambush' 'Westward the Women' 'Red River' 'Cat Ballou' 'Hondo' 'Shane' 'High Noon' 'How the West was Won',might all make it on future polls..or picks!♡

Robert Nelson

Centennial would be such an awesome series for you to watch. Centennial is a real city in Colorado, but the story is fictional; an adaptation from a series of books.

Jim Williams

I'm okay with the ORIGINAL Magnanimous Seven winning the poll, but I would have voted for The Searchers, which I like a lot better. Of course, I prefer politically incorrect to politically correct movies, so...

Jim Williams

uhm... no. They're among the best, but not the best. She Wore a Yellow Ribbon, The Searchers, Shane... The Tin Star was as good as was High Noon, as was The Gunfighter. My favorite western is probably still "She Wore a Yellow Ribbon". If she's going to react to "High Noon", she should make it a double-feature and also react to "Outland" the same day. I always liked Sean Connery better than Gary Cooper, anyway.

Jim Williams

I don't mean anything antagonistic by that; I like the movie, I just like playing with words and long ago I changed the name to amuse myself.

Christopher Carr

I don't think the average person in the PIB community has much awareness of some really great movies in the 50s and 40s. So much of those movies have become part of the lexicon of our culture. "We don't need no stinking..." just fill in the last word for your situation. That came from The Treasure of the Sierra Madre as well as other lines. The Searchers gets only 9%!? It is routinely rated as the best Western ever made! It gets 9%. If we can't do better than this the group is disappointing. Selection of a movie CANNOT be based on a popularity poll only. The giants on which the film industry is built will become vague memories. In terms beginning the group had promise but now it's mainly mini series and movies that late 80s and after.

Miles E Coburn

The demographics of this medium skews heavily towards younger people. And unfortunately, most don't care or are interested in anything that isn't recent or trending. Cassie herself has said prior to starting the channel she hadn't watched a movie older than the 90s. With few exceptions, the same can be said for many, many reactor channels.

Christopher Carr

I first ran across the channel in October 2021. The movie being reacted to was Casablanca and there were a few others in the offing. She was seeing others like Band of Brothers and others that were very appealing to me. I haven't been that interested in the ones that are current and can be seen on their own channel. Early on Patreon members could send a CD and it would be reacted to. I suspect that a lot of the older films were contributed by the higher tiered members. That was an attractive benefit. But pretty soon the membership became so large that Cassie couldn't physically keep up with the incoming contributions. This summer I will be retiring and moving to a fixed income and when my membership expires in November that'll be all for PIB except for YouTube. My ability to push for The Treasure of the Sierra Madre will be gone and I'll watch the ones I like.
