I loved this movie as a kid. So glad to see you reacting to it. My Tuesday night just got better. Thanks Asia & BJ!

Sapporo Dragon

Classic!!! Please check your PO Box btw. I got a notification that says not delivered yet.🤷🏻‍♂️

Andi Szilagyi

No. Effing. Way. This is not real. This movie meant so much to me and my older brother when we were kids. The only time we weren’t fighting was when this was on the TV. I so cannot wait to watch this!!

Phoenix

Nice one Ultimate VIP - Thanks guys! A total classic!

asiaandbj

This is real! lol I hope you enjoy the movie with us!

Rich

I've not seen this but made me think of Flight of the Navigator.

Travysaurus Rex

Whoa! I thought you’d already done this. What a great day to go here!!!

George Bakis

Super special. The group of young talent during that decade put out numerous great films. It was non stop. Forgot to check with you couple weeks ago sent a pkg for the both of you.

Phoenix

They did post on here George that a George B sent something and thanked you? Its on their video gifts from the fam I think - the latest one just before Xmas I think.

JL Green

All I can say is yaaay.

Calvin

That was such a great movie, had never seen it before. Thanks to the VIP requester. Such a shame they don't make movies like this anymore.

JBGirlNextDoor

oh him. Brodrick killed two people in Ireland in 1987 with Baby from dirty Dancing in the car. Head on collision when he crossed the line. He was fined $175 and never once apologized to the family of the two women he killed. Hollywood.

George Bakis

Thank you Shell truly appreciate it

James Forrest

Oh brilliant choice guys and it's great to see you fine people continuing to do the wide range of movies suggested to you by the patrons. And this is a beauty of a choice.

Phoenix

You're welcome :)

Jesse McAdams

One of the guys who went down in the elevator in the first minute of the movie was Mr. Blue from Resevoir Dogs. The guy who pulled the gun when having to turn the key.

Bryan Sproles

The software David was using to dial all those phone numbers became known as "War Dialing Software" thanks to this movie.

Jesse

Love this movie yo!!! "The only winning move is not to play” is actually a valuable life lesson. Sometimes no moves are the best moves in anything in life. Anyway, Barry Corbin, best known for the TV series “Northern Exposure,” was General Beringer in this film. He was a lot younger here in War Games (1983), so you may not recognize him from “Better Call Saul.” He played Everett Acker. The stubborn old dude who hired Saul to keep his home. Thanks for this Asia ,BJ and Fam. ☮️💙

BRENDA

What a lesson.....the question is----have we learned. I hope so...I hope so.

Jesse

Asia. Maury Chaykin is the actor who played the computer system designer Jim Sting in this flick. I couldn’t find any credits on him doing a voice from “Polar Express. “ I did recognize his face from two big movies though. He played Major Fambrough in “ Dances with Wolves.” His character was the alcoholic who sent Kevin Costner to the outermost post before wetting and shooting himself. And he played Sam Tipton in “ My Cousin Vinny.” His character was the first witness who Vinny questioned about grits taking 5 minutes to cook on his stove. Classic characters yo. Sadly he passed in 2010 at age 61.

Dan Gershgol

I have always loved this movie.

Pink Martini AZ

True, you could walk 20 feet anywhere outside and find one of those soda can tabs. Where are those zillions of tabs now? Buried in the earth? Ahhhh the 80’s and the Cold War! We need to make it a theme. Red Dawn, No Way Out, Miracle and soon Rocky IV.

Justtired

Great catch Asia. Malvin is indeed played by Eddie Deezen, the actor who voiced the Know-it-all kid in Polar Express

Awilda Luciano

Great Reaction! Jim Caviezel has some gems out there besides this one including: -The Passion of the Christ directed by Mel Gibson, -Sound of Freedom-true story -Deja Vu-also starring Denzel Washington 😊 keep them coming

Darth Brooks

Any OTH fans in here? If so did you notice the younger Coach Whitey Durham in this? Great reaction as always haven't seen this movie since the early 90s and it holds up well.

CALIXYUKON

Yay!! This movie is more realistic than most people think. The 1979 incident was real (although much different than the movie portrayed), and we almost went extinct because a computer simulation at NORAD was actually mistaken for a real attack and almost resulted in a nuclear exchange. Thanks for doing this reaction!

Dan63

Close Encounters of the Third Kind started it all in 1977. Spielberg directed it and it’s a classic SiFi thriller

I remember I use to fall asleep to the movie all the time as a kid. I never watched this movie for more than 10 minutes. Now that I am grown up and a retired United States Airforce Veteran that actually use to do maintenance calls down in those silos, this movie hits way different. I loved this movie, and it does shows how situations can escalate in a heartbeat and the average Joe does not have a clue what goes on with our government. This was a great what if movie, great reaction again and thank you to whoever requested this.

Pink Martini AZ

I think she was referring to that nerdy skinny guy with the weird voice. I think he was in a handful of stuff in 70’s & 80’s. Eugene in Grease? And I think he was in 1941 with John Belushi.

Jesse

Your right. I was watching late last night and was half asleep. He does remind me of Eugene from grease too. Haha. I’m going to look it up. Thanks 👍

Jesse

Yep Eddie Deezan was Eugene in Grease and was a voice in the Polar Express. Nice

Jesse

Asia. I thought you were referring to Jim but it was obviously Melvin. I was tired last night and as Justtired pointed out, no pun intended, he was the voice you thought he was in Polar Express….In 2004, Eddie Deezen supplied voice and motion capture performance for Robert Zemeckis' holiday film The Polar Express, playing the role of the nerdy "Know-It-All". He reprised this role for the subsequent video game. 👍

Jesse

I didn’t know Barry Corbin in that role only because I didn’t follow that show but knew I him from Northern Exposure and The Closer as Kyra Sedgwick‘s dad. And of course Better Call Saul.

Quiche

Good one!! Every person on the planet is inputting and "teaching" AI now-- it's hard to fathom its abilities, or most importantly, its inclinations!

Darth Brooks

It's a great show. I watched that right alongside Smallville and Supernatural on WB when it aired. The Closer/Major Crimes was also really good and I'm only in season 3 of BCS, I can't say I've seen Northern Exposure I may have to look into it.

3BeerThunder

So for some context in the beginning the reason they don’t need to call someone on the phone is because once those orders go to the silos the men down there know it only comes from the president once verified another great movie along this topic is crimson tide with gene Hackman and Denzel Washington great movie

Jesse

Nice. I’ll have to check it out sometime. Didn’t watch a lot of Northern Exposure because I was young and interested more in playing than adult shows but it’s still critically rated as one of the better shows of all time.

Mike the Ginger

As a Cold War baby born in the 1980s, I often hope that younger Generations born in the last decade or so understand the significance of nuclear war.

Sometimes

i can still here " do you want to play a game" every time I hear about war news around the world. Truely an eyeopener.

Awilda Luciano

Sorry this comment was meant “The Count of Monte Cristo”

Jerry

Matthew Broddrick's greatest film role = GLORY GREATEST CIVIL WAR MOVE = GETTYSBURG. I would love for you to watch them one after another.

Jerry

Please put it up to a vote

Jerry

I grew up in the Cold War. Want to fuck with yourselves and understand how bad it was - watch the TV (early 80s on network) Day After Tomrrow.

Jerry

Old school real hacking

Cynthia M Farrington

Have you seen Ferris Bueller’s Day Off? It’s one of my favorite Matthew Broderick movies along with Lady Hawk.

fire12wife

This movie has been a family favorite since it came out! I was only nine years old then, and I didn't understand the weight of the storyline until I was older. It's SO crazy how far technology has come in forty years! With Russia starting a war with Ukraine, World War III may not be far off! It's so scary to think about!!! We, as humans, could very well be the cause of our own extinction!

Zaction!

According to the DVD extra “behind the scenes” (easily found on YouTube, over an hour long and very interesting facts if you’re a fan of the movie), the writers had John Lennon in mind when they wrote the role of Professor Falken, but he was assassinated as they were working on the first draft, and so the role went to John Wood. The synthetic computer voice (“Shall we play a game”) was also John Wood. He would read the words of each sentence in reverse order (“game a play we shall”). Sound editors would then put the words back in proper order, but having been recorded in reverse order, the result is the odd, stilted cadence of WOPR’s (or Joshua’s) computer “voice”.
