Just looking back at the month and curious...

What was your favorite reaction in August?

Comments

kaiielle

I'm curious to see how many people vote for "None of the above" 😅

Peter Guertin

Full disclosure, I haven’t seen all the reactions but Erin B was the best one I saw!

Matt Rose

You had a really, really good month of reactions.

Paul

I was most anticipating the reaction to No Time To Die.

William Bryan

Please tell me the horror starts next week....

Bryan Fritchie

I kinda feel like it must be Vertigo, simply because of that ending. What was that, about 60 seconds of awkward silence? 🤣

Just Plain Bob

Please tell me that this year’s Scary But Not Too Scary will include at least a few movies that are marginally scary…

Brad P

No Time to Die but it's not on the poll.

James Moy

Of the ones I've seen I most enjoyed the gone in 60 secs reaction... But bear in mind I've not seen any for a week. Still alive btw!

Mike LL

It would actually be hard to choose between Vertigo and North by Northwest, but I chose Vertigo. Both great!

Larry Darrell

Vertigo was my Favorite, but it looks like You’re never gonna find a way to please everybody with these results…. Unless maybe we watch more Julia Roberts. Steel Magnolias (1989) anyone?

warcrimes

Didn't watch any of the listed reactions

Dave

I think that Cassie's reaction to Vertigo is exactly the reaction old Alfurd Hitchcock would have loved, and that makes it my favorite reaction.

Celeste McAllister

Take a great film with a well grounded story add Carly into the mix,you've got 'Erin Brokovich',I'd love to nominate EB as the best,most emotional reaction of them all! I love a story about real people in real life situations.

jdj830

I seem to be with the majority in voting for EB, so perhaps it might also be useful for you to know that I also very much enjoyed your reactions to Philadelphia and the two Hitchcocks.

Philip Alan

My August has been so busy! I haven’t had time to watch most of them. Eeeeek! So I can’t properly vote! I may or may not catch up!

Manuel Villacana

I wonder if Cassie would ever have a poll what movies that haven't been reacted to by YouTubers yet,,

mikethemotormouth

@William Bryan she has sworn she'll never do The Exorcist so I don't see that one happening anytime soon, if ever 😔 Also she's said numerous times the two things that scare her most: true horror stories and/or horror stories involving kids. So again, not holding my breath on Conjuring 😔 As for Saw? I'm not sure how close she was to actually watching it, might have been more like testing audience interest. But thank heavens for the WKB that saved her from the 5, maybe total 8 min of onscreen gore

Stranger2Reality

"He's a tight ass! He's a sadist!" Pacino makes a compelling argument at the end of that movie lol I remember watching that opening day in theaters and was laughing and cheering during that scene.

William Bryan

Just bite the bullet and watch Strangeland then 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Teenagers, not kids, and no demons lol

sarCC

North By Northwest! I hope it got you into Cary Grant. Some of his bests include THE PHILADELPHIA STORY(co-starring Jimmy Stewart), HIS GIRL FRIDAY, NOTORIOUS(another Hitchcock romance-thriller, co-starring Ingrid Bergman), CHARADE, and TO CATCH A THIEF(another romance from Hitchcock, co-starring Grace Kelly).

William Bryan

She could handle the original TCM and 2003 remake of it. She was gonna watch Saw last Oct for crying out loud

TC Elba

was there a poll with collateral (tom cruise and jamie foxx) in it or am i bugging?

Mike Adams

Kindergarten Cop falls under this, right? That's my fave this month

Mike Lemon

@mikethemotormouth- "But thank heavens for the WKB..." I don't know what that means, but Saw only has a few seconds of gore. I want to say 14 seconds, but I don't remember the exact number.

Mike Lemon

Definitely Gone in 60 Seconds. I can't stand Julia Roberts, so that one is out. Philadelphia was OK, and while I like the few Hitchcock movies I've seen, I haven't watched those two reactions yet.

Björn Karlsson

Btw I'm promoting the swedish movie Show me love. There is a couple of movies with that name 🙂

Mike LL

OK, William Bryan, I will be glad to tell you that the horror DOES NOT start next week, since next week will be September, not October.

mikethemotormouth

WKB is the White Knight Brigade, the unofficial council of patrons committed to saving Cassie from unnecessary trauma that is destined to permanently wound her delicate and fragile soul. The same people who rallied against(and did not succeed) her watching Full Metal Jacket last year

Mark Vaderr

None of the Above. Now I have not seen them all, but As Good As It Gets was your best reaction of the month.

Mike Lemon

But...she hated Full Metal Jacket. So weren't they, and those of us saying it wasn't a movie for her for other reasons, right?

Terry Yelmene

It was a bit hard... I chose Philedelphia because I think it's the best film... but, Cassie definitely made Erin Brockovich the best reaction of the lot.

Larry

I find myself repeatedly rewatching "As Good As It Gets," so none of the options mentioned above appealed to me.

Richard Maurer

@ Mike Lemon - Her not liking a movie and a movie being "too much" for her are two different things. I don't think it matters that much if she doesn't like a movie - I don't like every movie I see and neither will Cassie. And I'm very much against making assumptions as to what she'll like. I'd rather she watch a movie and hate it than skip a movie because some people think she'll hate it. As for movies being "too much", I'd like to think that Cassie's proven herself more resilient than the white knight people give her credit for and this Halloween they'd ease up some on the overprotectiveness. I'd like to think that but I seriously doubt it.

mikethemotormouth

Her afterthoughts verbatim: "did not enjoy a second of it". This is not the same exact thing as she hated it and she seems to reaffirm that with her very next statement "And I know I wasn't supposed to" "I don't know how I'm supposed to feel but I just feel bad" Well would you look at that? The filmmakers did their job and evoked emotion. "Pyle, Wilson Fisk from Daredevil,...played his part really well" Doesn't this mean she found at least one thing to appreciate? "Is it important that I still saw it? Probably" Could not agree harder "Some war movies they show the hero and you feel inspired...They showed heroes fighting for their country but it wasn't that inspirational feeling...on purpose" And I think that's the way it should be. I'd imagine if all movies of a given genre were so nearly identical, I'd think that would be pretty boring.

Joe R

Have we done Weekend at Bernie's? This would be a fun one to see.

Richard Maurer

I recently watched Cinebinge do The Mist and I started thinking about Cassie watching it. I'm of two minds about it. That movie might be the most anti-Cassie mainstream film I can think of (if you've seen the movie you should know what I mean), yet I would really be interested in her reaction to it. In fact I love that movie for the very reason Cassie would almost certainly hate it, but I admire Frank Darabont for having the guts to make that choice and wonder if Cassie could possibly see it that way.

Richard Maurer

That's a huge list of movies to choose from, considering how many reactors just seem to do whatever the more popular ones do - Like all the people doing the M:I series after Cassie did them.

Eric Haefele

Lots of good choices. I went with Erin by a nose.

Mikey Mike

I liked Rain Man the most

Mike Lemon

@mikethemotormouth- She hated it, she said as much in one of the reactions with Carly.

Mike Lemon

@Richard- I agree some can get overprotective (creepily so). Cassie is a lot tougher than people want to give her credit for. I remember last year writing about a bajillion comments arguing with the "don't watch Saw" people. I still say that is a movie she could appreciate a few days after watching it. Fingers crossed for this year. That said, there are certain things she absolutely does not like- nihilistic despair being about number three on the list.

Richard Maurer

Do I have to mention she liked 300 again? That's more than enough reason not to write movies off just because a bunch people say she'll hate them.

TinCan Cosmanaut

I voted Erin Brockovich. To be fair its the only one I watched

Doug R

I did. The movie selection the past year plus has dramatically gone downhill. I am keeping membership in hopes things will change. Until then there are other reaction channels to visit.

Anne-Marie Curtis

This was hard to pick from, but I picked Runaway Jury

mikethemotormouth

@Mike Lemon well I guess if you say she said it, it must have happened and I can't refute that. I only know what she said in her reaction video after credits rolled 🤷

David Collins

Others seem to have failed to observe a distinction between favorite movie and favorite reaction. My favorite movie and second favorite reaction was As Good As it Gets. I don't like the movie Primal Fear all that much, although I have more appreciation for it today than I did 20 years ago when I first saw it, but it was easily my favorite reaction to watch, regardless of when.

Stick Figure Studios

Hmmm.Not sure what my favorite was. I always like watching you react to great classic movies like NORTH BY NORTHWEST, VERTIGO and JEREMIAH JOHNSON, but I also enjoy seeing you react to movies that maybe aren't great or classics, but are a lot of fun because they have a surprise twist that just blows your mind (like PRIMAL FEAR) or something like that. Then again, I also love it whenever you watch a Bond film (and I believe you did NO TIME TO DIE this month), so I'm gonna go with that.

Rinzler526

Honestly, I liked them all but I picked Runaway Jury. Have to support a great movie and a great reaction. Great Job!

kaiielle

@Doug, Make sure you're connected to PopcornRequests.com and have made your requests!

Mannygogou

Oh... I'm very far behind and didn't see much of it... not even the ones I most wanted to see 🙂

Nismo

Gone in 60 Seconds, just for the moth 😅

Jeffrey Schmidbauer

Vertigo. Especially that reaction at the very end. Cassie is completely silent, eyes in astonishment and then, "WHAAAT?"

Robbie

Definitely Erin B!!

Daniel Hofer

I went with Jeremiah Johnson, only because I absolutely love when people learn the origin of popular memes. After that Erin B. would be my choice.

Didi Portia

Quick fun fact, *you have probably heard this by now, that the waitress in the beginning is the real Erin Brockovich. Super fun reaction, ladies! ( :E

D. T. Nelson

There were some good reactions to all the movies. The reaction I was most looking forward to was Primal Fear, and that twist ending... Sorry to see your feeling unsatisfied, but everyone "reacts" differently and feels how they feel (you still seemed shocked by the twist, so there is that). However, both yours and Carly's obvious enjoyment of Erin Brockovich throughout the movie made me smile. That had to be my vote for best reaction.
