The last weekly polls winner was Grease, which will be available this Saturday.Reminder: movies that don't win does not mean they will never be watched, it just means they will be watched later. Please be respectful to each others opinions, we're all just here to have fun and watch movies :)

Comments

Jeff K.

Voting for Butch in Sundance first because it’s great, but also so that it’ll hopefully lead to you wanting more Redford and Newman and therefore following it up with The Sting, one of my absolute favorite movies ever.

Nathan Jasper

Ooh this one's a difficult choice. They're all essential cinema. It'll be interesting to see what wins :)

JakeyShakeyBakeyBoy

Man what a list - all would be winners in their own right for me. If I had to pick a gut winner it’s Seven Samurai - once the Kurosawa rabbit hole is opened, it’s a glorious filmography to be experienced. To Kill a Mockingbird a close second, for Gregory Peck’s amazing performance

Mike FromOz

Voted Citizen Kane because the cockatoo told me to.

Eric Mc Daniel

Man, anyone of these are a good choice. Some I want to win because I haven't seen yet, but others I love and want you guys to see

The Gunslinger

A classic you should check out is Rear Window.

TwoBitWriter

I voted for "To Kill a Mockingbird" because Atticus Finch was everything I aspired to be as a man. But "Citizen Kane" would be a close second vote were I allowed to vote twice.

dudewheresmycar

Next time you do a classics poll, can you please add The Bridge on the River Kwai? Same director as Lawrence of Arabia, and again features Alec Guinness is probably his most iconic role. After that I would add Steven Spielberg's Empire of the Sun. Spielberg was inspired to become a director by both The Bridge on the River Kwai and Lawrence of Arabia, and Empire of the Sun is very much his homage to both of those movies. It features a young 13 year old Christian Bale as the main character and even at that age he was an astonishing talent. I would highly recommend the movie.

UnSafeStu

Yes, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid for more Robert Redford. Particularly Spy Game with Brad Pitt

Kyle Baker

Since you both loved '12 Angry Men' so much I'm going to recommend checking out some more Sidney Lumet. Network Dog Day Afternoon The Verdict Prince of the City Before the Devil Know Your Dead

FoH Film Club

Honestly not to be that person but any film enthusiasts should at one point watch Citizen Kane...even if not for views on their own. I think if you drill down into just about any American film they try to be 1 of 2 films Wizard of Oz or Citizen Kane.

Greg Nelson

You really should react to every one of these. Start with To Kill A Mockingbird. But I’ll sit out Gone With The Wind.

Dirge Girl

"Wildcat", "Loud Pipes", and/or "Gettysburg". [wink]

Anthony Villena

For a future classics poll: Roman Holiday, starring Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn

Joshua White

Can't wait for the full length Mockingbird watch-along! Haven't seen that movie in years.

Random Nevermind

Two classic things I want to recommend: One Hundred and One Dalmatians (1961) A Streetcar Named Desire (1951)

Justtired

I’d love for The Seven Samurai to win just so Simone can be introduced to the incredible filmmaker Akira Kurosawa and the wonderful Toshiro Mifune. Still, To Kill a Mockingbird and Citizen Kane are very important films and should be watched at least once. I hope you two get to every one of these in the future

Smooticus

Had to put votes in for Butch Cassidy because it's such a classic movie, and Seven Samurai because Kurosawa was so influenced by American Westers yet would become so influential to future directors of American Westerns

Thomas Gagné

If yall want to be first on youtube with reactions here’s a couple movies ive seen recently that don’t have reactions on yt very much if at all: The long goodbye/ The Player (Altman, classic hollywood) Inherent Vice (PTA, his funniest most unhinged movie) Cure (1997) really good japanese horror thriller

Michael Buhl

Someone in a comment above suggested Network. I would vociferously demand that you watch Network if I could. Let me throw Sunset Boulevard out there as another classic option. Citizen Kane is probably the most important movie on the poll, but I voted for Chinatown because I will always vote for Chinatown. It's one of my favorite movies.

Mr. Treat

Please do anything other than seven samurai lol

Michael Gross

Chinatowns Screenplay is perfect! Please watch it!

Smooticus

Considerations for future classics: The Thin Man All Quiet on the Western Front (1930) Dr Zhivago The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance Mr Roberts The Sand Pebbles The Best Years of our Lives The Great Waldo Pepper Ran Roshomon The Dirty Dozen Kelly's Heroes

Michael Buhl

I don't know if it's a "classic" per se, but The In-Laws an excellent comedy from the '70s (1979).

Tim T—

Brazil (1985) is a modern classic.

Maikeru Dagurasu

Please consider watching Romeo Must Die (2000). That‘d be an awesome thursday or sunday movie surprise. also: can we expect an Ip Man 2 react in the future?

BoredLittleLady

I've only seen "To Kill a Mockingbird" and "Gone With the Win" So, I'm voting for what I know. As for the other movie, it looks like whatever wins, I'll be introduced to something great.

Florian

Problem with the Seven Samurai is, whitch version😅

JoeE

Would also recommend some like it hot, stagecoach,dog day afternoon

cincassette

Another great classic is "The Graduate" (1967). You should also check out "Before Sunrise" (1995), which has such a great mood and timeless quality, a definate modern classic!! I always love the classics polls! can't go wrong with any of these :)

Nikolaos Michaelides

They say that all modern movies try to be either Wizard of OZ or Citizen Kane. You need to see it to understand movies.

FWPJR.

Never seen any of these lol I’m not really a “classic movie” guy, but I have seen some older movies, but the ones I’ve seen may not be classics idk so I hope that whatever wins the people who voted for it enjoy watching the reaction, tbh I hope everyone enjoys the reaction to it.

Johan

no Casablanca? :)

Vwlss Nvwls

Seven Samurai is one of my favorite movies. I make sure to watch it at least once every year. I certainly hope you don't miss out because of a poll.

FWPJR.

I’m going to do it again like I do every week until it’s on the poll ( I doubt either one would actually win any poll though ) lol I’m going to suggest you two watch Young Guns 1 and after that Young Guns 2, they are two of my favorite movies ever and I think you two would enjoy both of them.

Logan Kerlee

I'm always happy to find Citizen Kane on a poll! Hoping that it gets some more support. :)

Funny That

Should update the Citizen Kane description to add "- New only to Simone". If you have watched The Simpsons then you've seen Citizen Kane, kind like how you will have already seen The Shining as well.

micah saldana

I voted for Mockingbird and Chinatown, Citizen Kane is a technical masterpiece and was groundbreaking for its time, but It might be a bit boring for a reaction video.

JayF

I'm happy to see TKAMB with the early lead. George, just dropping another reminder that The Sting has the same two leading men as Butch Cassidy, a higher IMDB rating, and more Oscars.

Liesmith

The only downside to watching Seven Samurai is becoming aware of all the things that copy Seven Samurai.

Charlotte Drolet

See you next poll. I am going to sit this one out.

Michael Buhl

The Sting is another great '70s classic!

Tom Driggers

Because you enjoyed 12 Angry Men so much, another great Fonda film I never see mentioned is Mr. Roberts

Jason McCloud

Not nearly enough love for Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, in my opinion

JOEDATOR

Everyone should see Citizen Kane at least once in their lifetime.

Jeff Norwood-Brown

I’ve only voted for The Sound of Music because, if I’ve had to sit through 2 hours of syrupy sweetness (and then some Nazis), then I don’t see why George should be able to get away with it. Butch Cassidy is excellent. To Kill a Mockingbird is better read than watched but even so the movie is exceptional.

Bill Woods

After Seven Samurai, how about The Magnificent Seven? On a different subject, Stalag 17.

HeyHeyJK

In one way or another, all of these deserve to be reacted to, but I'm going to throw in a single vote for "Chinatown". A LA noir classic and considered one of the greatest screenplays of all time. All one of Jack Nicholson's top 5 performances, easily. However, "Citizen Kane" was considered the greatest film of all time for a very long time until "The Godfather" took that spot. And "To Kill a Mockingbird" is just one of the greatest of all time, as well. I could do without ever seeing "Gone with the Wind" again due to it's cheerful depiction of both slavery and the Civil War, so I'm glad its's in last place (but you can't deny the filmmaking and, especially, the cinematography).

Michael Johnson

Should just start getting through Hitchcock's filmography. Rear Window, North by Northwest, Strangers on a Train, or one of my personal favs - The Trouble With Harry 😁

sarCC

I'm definitely voting for Citizen Kane. Though, I'm really excited for the upcoming 4k restoration of Seven Samurai. Anyway, here are some other classics to watch: All About Eve His Girl Friday Sunset Boulevard The Lady Eve The Apartment North By Northwest Sullivan's Travels

Amar

Please add "Imitation Game" to the backlog guys. True story about Alan Turing and the 2nd World War. One of Benedict Cumberbatch & Kiera Knightly's best films.

China Andronicus

Seven Samurai needs more love. That film is amazing. Kurosawa and Mifune are brilliant.

John

This is a great list, I would suggest for a future poll, In the Heat of the Night, Lilies in the Field, Guess Who's coming to dinner, A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, and The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, The Dirty Dozen

DM DC

I have only seen a couple of these, and I typically prefer choosing one that is new to both reactors. Thus, my pick will be To Kill A Mockingbird. I haven't seen this though in literal decades.

Rachel W

To Kill A Mockingbird is a beautiful film. Citizen Kane is one of the best films ever, imo and they should def watch it at some point, too. But this time voting for TKAB

Christian Rennie

Citizen Kane is definitely a movie to experience. Orson Wells was way ahead of his time with this movie. I feel like Wells really showed what movies could and should be. Sometimes I forget when this movie was made when I watch it. Comparing it to other movies of the time and what they looked like with shots and dialog it is easy to see why there is so much respect for this movie. With all that said I am totally voting for "To kill a Mockingbird." I feel like this a better "reaction" movie than Kane. Simply because I think Kane is sort of in the zeitgeist already and isn't really as impactful in a reaction (it gets spoiled in Simpsons.... so George will have a little too much info going in I think). While Canadians probably haven't read "To Kill a Mocking Bird" like all the Americans that had to read it in school. As someone that has to watch their budget on a fixed income and cancels or resubscribes depending on funds available for the month, I literally said, "Oh, I'm making sacrifices if "To Kill a Mockingbird" wins. It is worth it this month just for this movie alone.

Rachel W

A couple more for the next Classics poll--"A Streetcar Named Desire"(1951) brilliant performances and we've got to get some Tennessee Williams in here!) and "Inherit the Wind"(1961).

Duncan Carlton

Not enough people react to Chinatown, but also was just wishing someone would react to to kill a mockingbird yesterday, read my mind

Brandon Meng

To Kill a Mockingbird, W, Citizen Kane, W. Banger poll with banger results. Next time you do a classics poll I'd love to see The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly on here with The Maltese Falcon. Any other poll, I'd love to see the following: Perks of Being a Wallflower ... my absolute favorite movie to watch reactions to Manchester by the Sea ... most depressing but well acted movie Forgetting Sarah Marshall ... funniest movie for me, period About Time ... sleeper romcom of the century Almost Famous ... people have been begging for this reaction for a long time and they're right to +1 Lars and the Real Girl ... love this movie so much but must see after your commentary on Her

Anamondaris

Wow! All greats. But To Kill a Mockingbird is the movie I rewatch( or reread) the most so that’s my pick

Jesse Coombs

Here's the part of the year where I recommend Billy Wilder movies. Really anything by him, but Sunset Boulevard, Some Like it Hot, and The Apartment are classics.

Tyler

I selected Butch Cassidy only because of how excited Jeremy Clarkson was about the movie in the Season 22 Patagonia special of Top Gear and I've been meaning to see it ever since.

ICC

Butch and Sundance all the way. Saw that 4 years ago, and fell in love with it, as well as Newman and Redford.

nossieboy

Amazing films here but To Kill a Mockingbird gets my pick

Rob Church

China Town is so good.

Skyruff Creative

How about reacting to movies that redux other movies. Watch Yojimbo (1961) then A Fist Full of Dollars (1964) then watch Last Man Standing (1996). Watch Seven Samurai (1954) then The Magnificent Seven (1960) then watch The Magnificent Seven (2016) (Yessss, I know P in B already did this. But it's still a good idea.) There are many other such examples.

Wesley Lara

Would highly recommend Hundreds of Beavers as a future choice! It's an homage to Buster Keaton-era silent comedies

Brendan Rafferty

Good poll. All outstanding films. Non spoiler trivia about To Kill a Mockingbird to enhance your viewing. 1️⃣ Gregory Peck and Mary Badham (the actress who played his young daughter) stayed close friends for years and continued to call each other by their character’s names, Atticus and Scout. 2️⃣ It’s important to know that both the book and film were banned in many parts of the US and there are still organizations trying to ban them today

Mr. Writhms

Great group of titles! You have drama, musical, and westerns. For the next classics poll, you could include classic sci-fi, comedy, and horror? "War of the Worlds" (1953)? "Some Like it Hot" (1959)? “Night of the Living Dead” (1968)?

Wrencher86

Chinatown is an astonishingly good movie. Plus, if you see that, you'll get all the references when you (hopefully) eventually get to Rango.

Max Carter

Chinatown, Seven Samurai and Citizen Kane are all masterpieces and couldn't really go wrong with any of them. Rest of the list pretty solid too of course although Gone with the Wind never clicked for me personally

Chris P Bacon

Suggestions for next classic poll: The Sting (1973) Ivanhoe (1952)

Maarten Martens

I was amazed how much Citizen Kane holds up today. It has a grandeur and storytelling that I haven't really seen before. I hope it wins, but I haven't seen most of the other options so that will be fun too.

Daniel Simmons

Gone with the Wind. That's a top 5 all-time movie for me.

D

Nosferatu (1922) and if u dont want to watch a silent film lol Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979)

Alex Ch

Hi everyone! I’ve been having a good time watching the Olympics so I just popped in to say it would be fun to see another Sportsball poll soon!

MacGuffinStuff

Honestly that's a solid list of classics, they are all. But Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid was my vote because it's definitely the most fun, well in my opinion.

JFC

All of these are good movies, so whichever wins is fine by me. I just want to see Butch Cassidy win one of these classics polls. Maybe next one.

BubblyRainbows

My only question is: Where is someone supposed to find copies of any of these ancient movies to watch along? I've seen several on the list, but we don't actually own a copy of any of them to watch along. Are they available on Neftlix or Amazon Prime? Edit: Before anyone gets offended by me calling these films "ancient," I use the term out of habit. Age is subjective. For me, that entire range of movies was released between 29 and 64 years before I was born. To me, that's "ancient," but it's only a word.
