At our last amazing trivia night, we had a repeat first place winner with Jonathan C! Amazing! He was able to get the $$ prize but I had said before that if they had already been a winner and chosen movies, it would go to the next place which was our very own Larry Darrell! 

These are his 5 submitted movies and I can say for sure I would be so happy with any of these! I’m actually so excited! 

Help me choose!

Jacob

Got to be Thelma and Louise! What a film!!

brooke atkins

My choice won’t win cause it’s a total chick movie but Cassie you need to watch steel magnolias. You will love it. Only heard of 2 movies on here so I have to vote for my favorite of course 😝

Cole Jennett

Adventures in Babysitting was a core movie for me growing up. I was so in love with Elizabeth Shue. She’s in Cocktail as well, FYI

Stick Figure Studios

The only one of these I have not seen is DESPERATE JOURNEY, so I can't really comment on it or vote for it. The other four are solid picks, but I'm going with my personal favorite among them : ADVENTURES IN BABYSITTING. I'm confident you will enjoy that one.

Jason Pratt

Nobody leaves this place without singing the blues.

JollymonSing

My choices are based on the fact that Steel Magnolias will go directly into your heart. The Awful Truth basically will make you giggle about being a girl. But hey, that's just me

Mike LL

Oh yes seeing another Cary Grant movie go down in flames is going to make my day and my week! Thanks, Larry Darrell! Just kidding, Larry. Thanks for the pick. It gets my vote all the way! Cassie will get to see one of these great early Cary Grant films one day! (I suspect that Thelma and Louise will win the poll)

Phil Stubblefield

I'm with @brook atkins! Cassie, you *need* to watch Steel Magnolias (the 1989 original, not the 2012 remake)! You will laugh, cry, and laugh some more. I'm a dude, and I love this "chick flick"!

Celeste McAllister

'Steel Magnolias'..Cassie,please don't watch without Carly this is well within the 'C&C Wheelhouse' Got a box of tissues standing bye! ♡

Maxoutkast

Thelma and Louise all day long. One of Ridley’s best.

Adam Doyle

Steel Magnolias would HAVE to be a Cassie and Carly watch, you two would love it!

Jake McNulty

If Thelma & Louise win, you've got to get Carly on board.

SeanATX

Thelma and Louise is one of my top requests. Ridley Scott!

Alex Ch

When people go through the now long list of actors who have played two Marvel characters, they often forget that Kingpin and Thor have been performed by the same man.

Luke Godfrey

Glad Adventures in Babysitting is in the lead. Love that movie. Cassie’s in for a treat with this one. When we watched it as kids it was called A Night on the Town. Not sure why it had a different name here in the UK though.

Randolph Tirazona

Thelma & Louise = Cassie & Carly?!? Let's find out!!!

brooke atkins

Thank you! I’ve been asking for this movie for almost 3 years now. I know she’ll love it. But of course it won’t win. Adventures in babysitting is just a fun 80’s teen flick everyone loves including me.

Neil Varma

You will love adventures in babysitting !

Allen W. McDonnell

Adventures in Babysitting is hilarious and will rejuvenate the scary movie blues quickly!

Rollo Tomassi

With your personality, proper manners, and heartwarming relationship with your sister, it would be a real injustice to not watch Steel Magnolias. A sisters watch-along of this film is a must!

Robert Jewell

Wow, that's quite a diversity of films! Desperate Journey really surprised me. You've seen its star Errol Flynn before in Adventures of Robin Hood. It's a melodramatic propagandic film. I'd much prefer Errol's excellent boxing film GENTLEMAN JIM, so I'm voting for Thelma and Louise. Looming forward to it.

E. D.

Regarding babysitting: I´d prefer Baby´s Day Out (1994)

Stick Figure Studios

Even though I'd already seen her in THE KARATE KID, those opening credits made me fall in love with Elizabeth Shue as well.

breanna

Oh please Adventure's in Babysitting!! I have been waiting for someone to react to that!

Bill Maurer

There was a trivia night ??

mikethemotormouth

I have no horse in this race. Hope you enjoy whatever wins.

Paul Stelter

Adventures in Babysitting (the 1987 version, not the remake!) just for that opening credits musical sequence. Also there's a Marvel superheroes reference years before it was cool. :)

Raj K. Dixit

Steel Magnolias is great, but it will break your heart.

Heidi H.

Oh, sweet angel girls, I can't believe you have not seen Steel Magnolia's ! This is the one. I must add, Adventures in Babysitting IS an all time fave and you should also watch, but first... Steel Magnolia's IT IS!

Walter

that was going to be my second choice, but I like your thinking!

Mike Lemon

Oh, oh, oh...Adventures in Babysitting! Finally. Fingers crossed.

Henry Graham

God, it depresses me to see such pitiful numbers for The Awful Truth. One of the best comedies I've ever seen.

Clay F

Thelma & Louise (1991) is iconic. A movie that became part of the culture. Ridley Scott. Thelma: "I don't ever remember feeling this awake." Has a young and relatively-unknown Brad Pitt. He was not a household name. The Thelma & Louise movie jump-started his career.

diego kontarovsky

i just rewatched adventures in babysitting (1987) for my birthday and it was so good

Steve Holton

Desperate Journey is one of two films where former President Ronald Reagan co-starred with Errol Flynn. The two got on well and President Reagan often called himself “The Errol Flynn of B Movies” It’s a good film and always fascinating to see successful war films that were made while the war was being fought. Sort of a “Primary Source” for what the country needed at the time. Thanks to Larry and Cassie for such great choices. Really tough to pick. 👍😊

Michael Enos

I have a feeling you will really enjoy Adventures In Babysitting..and you should possibly watch it w/ Carly. :)

David

The Awful Truth is one of the 10 best movies ever made.

Jason Dolan

I feel like this is the best chance Cassie has to ever watch THELMA & LOUISE and she could definitely do that movie with CARLY! Hoping it wins. For both Cassie and Carly's reaction to Brad Pitt's introduction to mainstream audiences alone, haha. They'll swoon!

Godzilla Jones

Follow up Adventures in Babysitting with Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead for the Keith Coogan babysitting double feature. Also I *live* for the day you get to the classic "chick flicks" like Steel Magnolias, Terms of Endearment, and Fried Green Tomatoes

Omar

My choice is 3rd place now lol but theres still time

Chris H.

OH, Adventures in Babysitting feels like a movie that was created for Cassie and Carly to watch. I am a cranky middle-aged dude, and I adore that flick.

thansen

The Awful Truth

Jonathan Clem

The Awful Truth is a pure classic

Eric Haefele

Adventures in Babysitting is a fun ride with a couple of nice musical moments.

Eyrdle eyrdle

Please review Dark Shadows. A vampire comedy based on the 1960s television show of the same name. Directed by Tim Burton, it starred Johnny Depp, Michael Phifer, Helena Bonham Carter, and Eva Green. Hilarious with great dialog.

Wesley White

Adventures In Babysitting....... HECK YES!!! That movie is a classic! One of my favorites growing up as a kid! You will love it Cassie, same with Carly if you bring her into the reaction lol! 😁😉👍🥰😇🙏🌹

Jason Jardine

If Adventures In Babysitting pulls this out, please do not watch the Disneyfied edited version. I can remember being so excited to rewatch it on Disney Plus when that platform launched, only to find out it's a edited/dubbed version of the film in one very specific scene. The original was PG13 I believe and I hope that's the version you get to see. Call it nitpicking, but I really hated the edit.

Bill W

Jeez Larue.

Cole Jennett

I love Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead. Adding it to the app if I haven’t already👍

Stick Figure Studios

Thank you for the info. I always appreciate learning more about movies, any movies really. I shall have to seek that out. :-)

Larry Darrell

She’ll get there one day for sure. I know The Holiday (2006) is one of Cassie’s favorites, and I’ve always liked the comment about Irene Dunne having “Gumption.” And I’ve wondered if Cassie had ever been curious about what films might have been on the list that Arthur gave Iris. I like to believe it was either The Awful Truth (1937) or My Favorite Wife (1940) that Iris was talking about. The latter being another Cary Grant and Irene Dunne team up. They were perfect together. I feel like some us, you Mike included, are like Arthur now, giving Iris (Cassie) a long list of old movies that she has to see, and we know she will love them. It’ll happen One Day… In Time.

Mike LL

I must confess I like My Favorite Wife more than The Awful Truth, but you are right, Cary Grant and Irene Dunne were perfect together!

Ian A

Congrats and great choices. Adventures in Babysitting is so fun. I agree, if you watch it try to find the unedited version.

Larry Darrell

I informed her of this when I submitted the List. If it wins, she will be reminded again. According to the PopcornRequests site, this film is in her “Collection,” so hopefully not a problem. Shame on Disney.

Bert Towle

You got to sing the blues during your reaction to AIB.

Jason Jardine

Thankfully there's someone out there that understands. It's something so minor, but it's so irritating that they did that!

Mark Vaderr

Adventures In Babysitting is a Grade AAA, 100%, zero preservatives added movie for Cassie.

Art of Free Speech

So glad you brought this up! I tried watching the Disney version awhile back and just thought it was an awful bastardization of the original. Apparently we're not the only ones since Amazon sells both versions as different products.

Larry Darrell

:-) That’s Funny. I actually like My Favorite Wife more too. It was a toss up between the two. My chronological mind eventually won. So I chose The Awful Truth because it came first. My main mission was to introduce her to Irene Dunne anyways, and it’s certainly a terrific introduction. My hope was that if she watched it and liked it, then we could recommend My Favorite Wife, with the same cast and the director of the first producing the second. I also knew the Chance of either of them getting watched was slim. The only chance the two older films had was if she had chosen the title herself. The more titles that keep getting mentioned the better though. I mentioned in my emails with Cassie about maybe doing a Classic Comedy Or Classic Romantic Comedy Poll one day. That could be a big list. I also mentioned doing a Classic War Film Poll, too.

Jason Jardine

I think there are two movies, the original 1987 with Elizabeth Shue, and then so weird rehash TV movie version. I was referring to the editing they did on the original, because they had it on Disney Plus when that platform launched. They dubbed over the subway scene in particular, which is what I was referring to.

Kristen

I loved Adventures in Babysitting when I was a kid and I love it just as much as an adult! It is so much fun! Babysitting would be a fun series of movies. You could do Dennis the Menace and Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead.

Larry Darrell

Sorry you missed it. I would LOVE for Cassie to watch The Searchers, but I didn’t want to submit any film that had been requested a lot. I didn’t want it to be an easy choice. I feel confident… that There WILL be a Day when Cassie watches The Searchers. ;-)

FranciscoGios

You asked and you shall receive, Adventures in Babysitting. And since you already watched The Lost Boys another fantastic movie from the two famous actors around that time Corey Haim & Corey Feldman is called License to Drive, it’s family friendly; you should try and watch that one.

Larry Darrell

Also a small section later on was completely removed, so it would ruin peoples’ syncs. There’s no sense in editing history, which films are in a way. If you don’t like what’s being said or you think something from an older film is not “PC” anymore, then it should be used as a teaching moment… not erased from existence. There’s an old saying about what happens when you don’t learn from the past.

E. D.

Hey Cassie, you liked Rocky a lot, maybe you consider watching Over the Top (1987), it´s also with Sly. A nice, touching, entertaining movie.

Larry Darrell

Cool! Old Faithful! Oh man, I haven’t thought about Dennis the Menace in years. I don’t remember the last time I saw it. Great idea. All those were Favorites of mine.

Larry Darrell

Movies I had on a list for Cassie… Clue The Thing Arachnophobia Practical Magic The ‘Burbs Hook And this Poll. I’m Having Fun. Thank You So Much Cassie. I Hope You, and Everyone Else, are Having Fun, too.

John Cranberry

So stoked that Adventures in BS is winning. In Australia, this movie was called A Night on the Town. Seen it like 30 times.

Todzilla

The only movie I've seen on this list was "Steel Magnolias" and that was because a girl I was dating forced me to watch it at her apartment. Side note, she ended up cheating on me with my coworker and two best friends. Lesson learned: don't watch Steel Magnolias to impress a girl 😅

jdj830

You really really have to see Thelma and Louise and I can’t believe it’s losing to Adventures in Babysitting which is cute but come on.

Jeffery Parks

I have been meaning to suggest "Adventures in Babysitting" for a long time. Hoping it wins! This movie gave me a big crush on Elizabeth Shue for a long time. Lol.

Doug Fisher

I was going to say pass... but I will have to give the older films some love even though they are not among Flynn's or Grant's best films. So, I will have to go with "Desperate Journey"... I guess.

Clay F

That's what I was thinking. Surprising. Adventures in Babysitting is cute and positive, and of it's time, but not necessarily profound as is Thelma & Louise. I voted Thelma & Louise. Yet, that's me. I will watch the reaction if Adventures in Babysitting wins. The Rotten Tomatoes critic consensus: "Sweet and spry, Adventures in Babysitting gets by on its amiable tone." I did like Elisabeth Shue in Leaving Las Vegas (1995). She was nominated for an Oscar for that role.

rakesh

Adventures in Babysitting was called "A night on the town" when released in the UK. I think it went straight to video, at least that's what I watched it on. Fun 80s popcorn movie. Gets my vote

Shawn Kildal

Cassie's reaction to Steel Magnolias would be insanely epic. Nothing against the other movies, but it's disappointing it's not going to win.

Shawn Kildal

For some reason, I always assumed Cassie had already seen Steel Magnolias. Like it was a given. Can you imagine her reaction to this movie? It has to happen someday. I'm starting to give up on these polls. Our movies never win Brooke.

Jesus F Christ

I have no preference, but I voted for Steel Magnolias because Cassie would like it.

mhz

Thelma ...

zynjams

Adventures in babysitting is so good, glad its winning this poll,

LDC7080

Given I was a teen in the 80s. Nostalgia kicks in. Has to be adventures in babysitting . Elizabeth Shue during her purple patch

AdrianF

I have no idea what prompted it, but I picked up Adventures in B only a few days ago. Probably on sale/Elizabeth Shue-related, but other than that a happy coincidence.

Richard Maurer

'Sigh' sad to see Halloween go. I'll vote for Thelma and Louise, I guess, don't really care.

Matt Rose

THE AWFUL TRUTH all the way. Fantastic, wonderful screwball comedy. Cary Grant in top form.

Steve H

Adventures in Babysitting did hit theaters; saw it @ Bairfair Mall.

AdrianF

You sure? My sister and I rented it at Blockbuster in the UK BITD and it was definitely called AIB, at least in Blockbuster.

AdrianF

With the chat of two different versions (OG versus Disneyfied), does anyone know which the (EU) iTunes version is? It's 1:42:18 long

Odd Thomas

Thelma and Louise by a mile

JollymonSing

My apologies if anyone is affected by this but I have to change my vote to "Adventures in Babysitting". All cuz of that little girl who refused to believe that Thor is not real.lol🤟🤣

Mike the Ginger

If you watch Adventures in Babysitting: DO NOT WATCH IT ON DISNEY+ it's edited. Make sure to watch the full original version!

Dean Holt

Adventures in babysitting was one of my favourite as a kid rented it loads of times.

Rick Williams

What did they edit? I have not seen the movie in a long time, but I don't remember anything bad in the movie. Just a cute fun movie.

Clay F

Yeah, while Adventures in Babysitting is cute and positive, seems about nostalgia to vote for it. I am glad that many patrons will get to see a reaction of a movie from their youth.

Clay F

While Adventures in Babysitting (1987) is cute and positive, seems about nostalgia to vote for it. -I am glad that many patrons will get to see a reaction of a movie sentimental from their youth. I voted Thelma & Louise (1991), a profound movie, that became part of the culture. Thelma: "I don't ever remember feeling this awake."

Clay F

Adventures in Babysitting, Rotten Tomatoes (Critics 71%, Audience 70%) critic consensus = "Sweet and spry, Adventures in Babysitting gets by on its amiable tone." Thelma & Louise, Rotten Tomatoes (Critics 86%, Audience 82%) critic consensus = "... ride-or-die chemistry between Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon ... scorching visuals fit for a postcard, Thelma & Louise is a feminist adventure ... provocative and rollicking."

Robbie

Steel Magnolias is one of my absolute favorite films. I have a bunch of shirts with quotes from the film which absolutely shows how gay I am lol. You and sister will absolutely adore how funny and tender the film is.

Robbie

Also Thelma and Louis is great too. I like Adventure in Babysitting but it’s very cheesy and childish compared to the others

Larry Darrell

What was once thought of as kids being kids and teenagers being teenagers… is no more. Apparently it’s no longer acceptable to laugh at such things.

Mike the Ginger

Yeah it's a shame. But that takes away from the movie, so I hope she watches the correct un-Disneyfied version.

Larry Darrell

You don’t have to be gay to wear Steel Magnolias shirts… I wear Steel Magnolias shirts. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. (-: Obligatory Seinfeld Quote :-)

Grant Parker

I chose Adv. in Babysitting because it's fun but also because I wanna hear Cassie tell some funny stories about babysitting.

Stephanie Birdsong

I voted Thelma and Louise as I think it's a must-see. I also love "The Awful Truth", not only for Cary Grant, but the great Irene Dunne (and Asta the dog), but looks like that has little chance. Both have great women's parts, something I'm always wanting more of in reactions. Would love to see some of the strong films of the 70s and Eighties like "China Syndrome", "Places in the Heart", "Mask", "Norma Rae", "Silkwood", "Kramer Vs. Kramer" even.

Larry Darrell

Just checked… My Blu-ray clocks in at 1:42:16 Disney Version in at 1:42:03… with the beginning disclaimer, “This film has been modified from its original version. It has been edited for content,” which lasts 5 seconds. iTunes may be OK, without the small, but totally unnecessary dialogue removals. I can’t speak for the overdubbing of other dialogue, but most likely it’s ok. Also just realized the Disney version has a darker and over saturated color temperature. That’s another strike against it.

JollymonSing

Effective have some perspective guys I'm talking about in the movie of course Thor is real in real life LOL

Jeffery Parks

I think you're right that "Thelma and Louise" is the better movie. However, I think most of us enjoy seeing Cassie and Carly have fun more than we enjoy seeing them being .... you know. So, I voted for "Adventures in Babysitting." But! Thelma and Louise definitely needs to be not too far behind on the reaction list. "The Fly" too!

Richard Maurer

Nope, the whole Halloween season in the reactersverse starts with so much promise, not always fulfilled, but still over too soon. Now back to lesser content.

Clay F

Good points. Cassie and Carly will probably like better the feel-good positive "Adventures in Babysitting" -- thus we will see more smiles in their reaction, which is pleasant to see.

AdrianF

Thanks Larry, I should be covered either way then. The disc is hard to come by (quickly) it seems.

Clay F

I am the opposite. I think should be Halloween week instead of Halloween month. But we all have our preferences.

Robbie

I have not started my patreon yet. My channel on YouTube is Robbie Reacts. I have dined some reactions but I’m teaching myself how to edit so I have not posted yet.

Robbie

Awesome thanks. Hopefully I’ll get some uploads on there soon. I’m learning to edit and it’s tricky for me

Björn Karlsson

Ehhhh I cannot find you on Youtube 🫣🤥😔 Hmm.... I'm at my work atm, so I will continue when I get home 🙂

Mike H

Feeling very conflicted on this poll. I've only seen 3/5 myself, 2 of them over 30 years ago, and I can't bear the idea of causing the emotions of the third (that's actually one of the "if it's on, I stop to watch" films for me).

Mike the Ginger

I had to vote for Adventures in Babysitting (1987) *REMEMBER: The unedited version, NOT the edited Disney version.* But it was a close call with Thelma and Louise (1991).

Mike Lemon

I know this is hard to believe, but some people actually like Adventures in Babysitting more than the others. For instance, I cant stand Susan Sarandon or Julia Roberts (and I haven't seen the other two).

Clay F

Other than you can't stand Susan Sarandon, how did you like Thelma & Louise?

Larry Darrell

Honestly, I have a hard time communicating in this medium, which is why this is the only place that I do it. I hardly ever have a conversation through texting. I don't do facebook, twitter, insta whats it. No one ever gets me, until they meet me, and even then I'm not a big talker. It takes time. I don't take myself seriously and I especially don't expect anyone else to take anything I say on here to heart. I assume We're all friends here and that we're all here to have fun. 99 Percent of what I say on here is said with either a smile or a wink (even when I don't use characters), or I'm just giving some random Movie/TV or Hollywood knowledge I have. And also of note, I work in construction and more than half of what is said among tradesman on a jobsite is Sarcastic Ribbing. After so many years of it, I find it doesn't stop when I leave work. So No Worries Man. My intentions are always to elicit a smile or at the very least... a chuckle. I don't always succeed. :-)(-;

Robbie

Thanks for telling me that. I’m actually very sarcastic too and I run into having to explain myself on here.

Larry Darrell

Adventures in Babysitting. Coool. Cassie, I Overnighted a Blu-Ray copy of Adventures in Babysitting to your PO Box, and it should arrive by 6 PM tomorrow, Saturday. Didn’t know if you were going to try and watch the film this weekend or not. I emailed the tracking number to you. EDIT: PACKAGE DELIVERED I realized LATE how limited the best viewing options are. Disney’s version is Edited and the Old DVD is not anamorphic formatted, meaning it is meant for an old 4:3 TV and it would have black bars all the way around it. So if you want it, hopefully it will be there in time. If you don’t need it, please gift it to someone. Thank You. I’m very much Looking Forward to this.

WastedPo

It's so weird that Disney Plus has edited versions of "Adventures in Babysitting" and (I think) "Splash" when there is now an age option for the channel. Like, they have the freakin' "Deadpool" movies on there, yet they can't have an unedited PG-13 "Adventures in Babysitting?"

Clay F

I will stream for free with my Disney+ subscription. While I would prefer to watch the original, I don't want to buy the DVD. I am age 60 and Adventures in Babysitting has no nostalgia for me, though I am looking forward to watching as a positive movie (and, again, would prefer to watch the original). I voted Thelma & Louise.

Mike the Ginger

Thank you for doing that. The edited version is just too washed out from the original 1987 version.

Mike the Ginger

I did a review of Adventures in Babysitting film earlier this year on my channel. It holds a place close to my heart as one of the very first films I ever saw in my life.
