TheLeftPecOfTheLord

Really really wonderful choices here, all of these would be on my list of essential viewings so I’m happy with any winner. Gone with the Wind stands out as one of the pinnacles of old Hollywood that I think would make a great experience for George. Great picks!

Cc Decc

What? No Abbott & Costello Go To Mars (1953)?

Jordy's_Here!

I love that the classic "The Producers" is here…but I want to watch CB react to the Producers musical with Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick!! One of my absolute favorites!!

Maiki

The Sting (1973)

Michael Seaney

Definitely some good movies here. It would be nice one day to follow up Lawrence of Arabia with Doctor Zhivago. Not seen any reactions to that. 🙂

Mike W

I'm going to keep voting for The Great Dictator, maybe one day it will win 😀

Jeff K.

Why yes, I HAVE been whistling the theme to River Kwai since seeing this poll.

Mike FromOz

David Lean is an amazing director, so I am crossing my fingers for "The Bridge on the River Kwai".

Zhivko Yakimov

Only for future consideration, I would recommend including The Apartment (1960) in this category, I believe it remains relevant even today. Great selection of classics, though!

Kim

The Graduate is timeless.

Robert Finlay

It has to be the Bridge on the River Kwai

Clipped

IMO considering current politics and world events, The Great Dictator is an inspiring, vital, must-see.

JoeE

Would also recommend some like it hot, treasure of the sierra madre, Maltese falcon

Jon Nelson

Any Billy Wilder films would be great

Christopher Fergurson

Oooh Abbott and Costello… I used to be able to perform all of who’s on first

Villa Lobos

People need to listen to the final speech.

John

This is a great list, I can’t support Gone with the Wind which is an important film relative to the history of Hollywood. I would add Philadelphia Story, Fail Safe, Seven Samurai, Lillies in the Field, In the Heat of The Night.

John

1+ The Sting

Cc Decc

I like movies like The Ring, The Grudge, Final Destination etc. that can make the most innocuous things creepy, and that's why I voted for The Birds here. That's also, of course, why the channel should watch Night of the Lepus (1972) at its earliest opportunity.

Quixotic Hob

Why does Gilda get so little love? It's the Rita Hayworth movie featured in The Shawshank Redemption.

Wormtongue

North by Northwest in next poll. ty

Ben Stevens

the movie playing on the TV in the Matrix in the Oracle's apartment!

TurnerK

Recs: The Deer Hunter, Dog Day Afternoon, Bad Grandpa

Nathan Jasper

The Kid (1921), Charlie Cuaplin at his best

OddThomas

Hitchcock, always go with Hitchcock. Also please watch Wildwood when it's available; I've seen it twice now, it's a masterpiece.

Steve

For future consideration: Sing street Barbarian Short term 12 Marriage story

Cc Decc

Oh wow -- I never caught that. I will have to try to remember to spot it next time I see that one. Still too bad this channel's reaction to The Matrix was lost.

Ben Stevens

not really a classic at all, but you guys still need to finish the Godfather part 3, and it could be a nice bookend with the upcoming finale of the Sopranos. Classics I'd also love to see: American Graffiti (George Lucas' silly cruising comedy before Star Wars with Ron Howard) Little Shop of Horrors (Rick Moranis, Steve Martin, and others) Innerspace (Martin Short, Meg Ryan, and Dennis Quaid) Dirty Harry, Escape From Alcatraz, or Heartbreak Ridge (for more Clint Eastwood) City Slickers (Billy Crystal, Daniel Stern, and Jack Palance) Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (Robert Redford and Paul Newman) Dog Day Afternoon or Serpico (more Al Pacino) One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (Jack Nicholson and Danny Devito) Bonnie and Clyde or Dick Tracy (both coincidentally star Warren Beatty and are years apart, but both have merits)

James

It's one of those films that a lot of people have heard about but never seen. The final speech is one of the greatest and more people need to hear it.

Relic

Hitchcock Vertigo please

SbE

Some day, some day

Cc Decc

When i saw it here, I shot a quick query to Gemini to confirm that. Never seen it though.

Ian Hunt

The Sting/North by Northwest/the Apartment would be good pics for the same category down the line

Martyn Hill

Great selection of films would like to w\tch any of these

Ken Schneyer

This was an incredibly tough choice. There were a lot of superb movies on this list.

BadTime69

You mean I imagined that you guys already reacted to The Birds? That's embarrassing.

My name is Jere

The Bridge on the River Kwai might be the best war movie ever.

BellaBlue

Requests for your consideration: Theme: Last 2 months at the theater. Of the 19 films I saw in Sept/Oct here are the 14 I'd like to see a reaction to - The Dog Stars 
- Hope 
- On A String 
- Resident Evi l
- Bad Apples 
- Primetime 
- Never After Dark 
- Digger 
- California Schemin’ 
- Whalefall 
- Sense And Sensibility 
- Wildwood 
- Clayface
 
- Wicker Note 1: One of my favs of the last 2 months was You Can See Everything but since you guys don’t do docs I didn’t request it. (I wish y’all would start doing docs..I know you don’t cause some cause controversy but there are so many good ones that don’t touch on any controversial subjects) Note 2: Obviously this list requesting the 2026 S&S but the 90s film is also well worth a reaction. Both are excellent

My name is Jere

Ali g is getting a new movie so this would be perfect time to check original Ali G movie, In Da House. It's a great comedy with stacked cast.

Matt Blanchette

Unfortunately, I don't know that George would recognise any of the non-English languages potentially spoken in "Kwai" -- only because I do not think any of them include Cantonese or Mandarin. (English, obviously, he KNOWS.)

jmundt33a

Not considered a classic, but an excellent film.

jmundt33a

As funny as The Great Dictator is, that final speech alone is a must-see.

maikeru

In & Out (1997) for a comedy poll

Ed Stephens

Yes, more Hitchcock movies please. For a future classics The Spy Who Came in From the Cold and Funeral in Berlin

John

1+ North by Northwest

PidMudda

"You owe me 15 Grand, pal."

Jeff K.

Hands down my favorite Hitchcock film. (Rear Window is the runner up for me.)

Jeff K.

Speaking of The Birds, just read the other day that Sarah Snook (Shiv Roy on Succession) is making a limited series version for HBO.

Amar

Please add Florence Pugh’s first ever film “Fighting with my family” & one of the best feel good films ever made, “The Intouchables” to your watchlist.

Zack Gallardo

We need to watch Ron Swansons top three film!

Zack Gallardo

It blew me away as a senior in highschool.

Ashton Lewis

Oh yeah haha, I just mean for the future

Vellu

Classic: One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975), Miloš Forman, Jack Nicholson

Sumner Hayes

That's not actually the theme to River Kwai, though they do use it memorably in the movie—another poll participant, Alfred Hitchcock, used it in The Lady Vanishes a couple of decades before Kwai used it. The Parent Trap, The Breakfast Club, and The Jewel Thief all used it, and more recently so did TV shows like The Man in the High Castle, Outlander, and the Simpsons. The tune they whistle is named the Colonel Bogey March, composed in 1914 and widely parodied during WW2 as “Hitler Has Only Got One Ball”. David Lean (the director of Bridge on the River Kwai) was only familiar with the parody lyrics, and decided to have the troops whistle it because the lyrics he knew would never make it past the movie censors.

funky weapon

y'all should check out The Cycle on Shudder. it's a fucking good horror movie.

Jeff K.

Oh, I know - I should have said "unofficial" theme since, from a pop culture perspective, it's most closely associated with River Kwai (similar to the main "theme" from Platoon, which was a preexisting piece of music, but has likewise become most closely associated with that film; learned that one in Spanish class in high school, of all places, when our teacher showed us a 1983 film called El Norte that had the same piece, which blew my mind because up until then I was 100% sure it was just "the theme from Platoon.")

REDR58

I’m just going to say about “Gone With The Wind,” if George has already decided that “Birth of a Nation” (1915) won’t be watched here (as I recall him saying so at least twice), which I *completely* agree with, then perhaps “Gone With the Wind” has no place here either.

Jeb Manning

These are some pretty good choices for classics, but there are also some other movies I have to recommend for future classics polls: -Safety Last! (1923) -The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1923) -The Phantom of the Opera (1925) -Dracula (1931) -Frankenstein (1931) -The Mummy (1932) -King Kong (1933) -The Invisible Man (1933) -Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939) -The Thief of Bagdad (1940) -Hold That Ghost (1941) -The Wolf Man (1941) -To Be or Not to Be (1942) -The Naughty Nineties (1945) -The Time of Their Lives (1946) -La Belle et la Bête (1946) -Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948) -Rope (1948) -Sunset Boulevard (1950) -Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954) -North by Northwest (1959) -Persona (1966) -The Wild Bunch (1969)

Steven Cavanagh

I recommend a one called Devil. it's about 5 people stuck in an elevator, and something Evil is stuck with them.

Herby Ragan

The Producers is Mel Brook's best film imo. Even if it doesn't win the poll, I hope you will get to it. You will not be disappointed

FryLord

I did not think the birds would get much support and now I'm excited even if it somehow loses

Melody Johnson

Gone With the Wind should happen regardless

Gizmo_Mogwai_

ok...there should be a rule, if a movie is over 3.5 hours long, it should be new to both of them. 🙄🙄

Gizmo_Mogwai_

The Great Dictator, only cuz it's the only one i haven't seen 😁

Beddoe

Plastics

TheChef

Also please!!! Cool Hand Luke, One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest, A Soldier's Story, The Big Chill. And for foreign and/or way off-beat: Cinema Paradiso (my all-time favorite), Diva, The Wrong Box, Victor/Victoria

Donna Castellano

Voted The Producers because it's the '67 version, my favorite Mel Brooks movie. I'm in the minority that hated the musical version.

David Cox

Paris, Texas (1984)

REDR58

Respectfully disagree but it’s definitely up there near the top.

David Cox

Elephant man (1980)

Spence Lee

Perhaps you both have seen it but next time you do this you should include Annie Hall (1977)

My name is Jere

Thank you for the respect. Bless your days.

Kinokind

Yes, Billy Wilder was a genius! "Sunset Boulevard" (1950), "The Apartment" (1960), "Witness for the Prosecution" (1957), and so on, ad infinitum. And did we do "Some Like it Hot" (1959)? Surely!

Brandon Meng

Perks of Being a Wallflower Manchester by the Sea Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri Sideways The Royal Tenenbaums Forgetting Sarah Marshall Cheers!

Norman

Which will happen first - Dustin Hoffman dying or Cinebinge reacting to The Graduate? (By the way, Dustin Hoffman is releasing his memoir on Tuesday. He turns 90 next year. His dad in The Graduate, William Daniels, turns 100 in March.)

Joel

Just thought I’d throw it in but I’d love to see you guys react to Laurel and Hardy movies :) have good memories of watching VHS tapes of them with my Grandad and us being in massive fits of laughter

rictus grin

the whole list please ;)

Seahag

Now that you guys have seen most classic 80’s films, I’d really love if you ever watched Kung Fury. It’s a really short film (31 minutes) because it was basically funded by a bunch of nerds for fun, but it’s ridiculous and entertaining and nobody ever reacts to it.

Jay Davis

I HAVE to vote The Producers here. No choice... but I tucked in one for The Bridge on the River Kwai. A sentimental nod to the 70s and 80s I spent watching 60s and 70s war films growing up.

Tim Miller

Yes! Such a good movie!

Shawn

would yall every maybe watch the TMNT ( teenage mutant ninja turtles ) movies from the 90s? anyway as always love yall

Lokior

PLEASE DO DOCTOR ZHIVAGO AFTER OMG

Kevin

Nothing for me 😔

Joshua Davidson

The Bridge on the River Kwai is one of the best movies ever made, and I think it unfortunately gets mostly overlooked now.

Richard Pearce

The Birds is based on a Daphne Du Mourier short story (she hated the Hitchcock film apparently) but she was married to General Fredrick Browning who's character appears in A Bridge Too Far (1977) played by Dirk Bogarde movie directed by Richard Attenborough also starring Gene Hackman Robert Redford Michael Caine Elliott Gould (Ross and Monica's dad in Friends) Anthony Hopkins

Ron

KITT!

Jay Davis

Who is on first.

Bill Campbell

Sigh, everyone always reacts to The Producers '67 but I like The Producers '05. I recognize a lot more of the cast.

Dan Holmes

The Graduate!!!! Omg how is that losing 🫠

Dan Holmes

The Producers must be seen

Cc Decc

I mean, I am NOT going to white knight for Gone With the Wind, but its no Birth of the Nation. Gone With the Wind is definitely politically incorrect or insensitive by modern standards, but there's actually an interesting history behind its long and difficult production with producers intentionally trying to bleed the racism out of it. They changed scenes, omitted refences to the KKK, bumped up African American roles (including of course Hattie McDaniel's to the point she became the first black person to win an Oscar) etc. And while I personally don't have any need to see it again, it remains to this day, and probably will remain for all time, the highest grossing movie in adjusted dollars ever made. So if I was advising a young cinephile I would definitely have it in the must watch column as a monumental achievement even with the cringe.

Larry A

The Producers would be amazing! I also liked the remake (which was also done by Mel Brooks)

Mike S

The Birds🐦‍⬛ 🐦‍⬛ 🐦‍⬛ Yes! The Blob 1958 Steve McQueen 😎

John

I appreciate your explanation, and though I agree with your reasoning I can appreciate the film making achievement and still recognize that I can’t support it in a poll. I’ve seen it before and that is not the position of someone else on their journey through cinema. With a recognition that time is a limited resource there are dozens of movies I think could be seen before this on a must watch list.

elle

Standing up for my girl Gilda, here. It’s a pretty iconic film. 🎥 I wonder if it’s trailing so badly because it’s not as well known. Mystère…

punterjoe

When I saw The Great Dictator & The Producers on the list, it reminded me of an Ernst Lubitsch film Mel Brooks remade decades later: "To Be or Not to Be". I'd recommend the original because it's making fun of Nazis DURING the war. It also features a baby Robert Stack (Airplane! / Unsolved Mysteries) as a dashing young love interest 🤯

Jack Messick

Hitler, has only got one ball. Goering, has two but very small, And Himmler, Is somewhat sim'lar, And poor Goebbels has no balls, At all. The tune is from the previous war, in 1914. And the soundtrack composer for the film did call his arrangement The River Kwai March, so you are mostly correct.

REDR58

Yes, this version before the remake!

REDR58

Godfather Part 3, particularly as there are a number of references to it in the Sopranos that they keep missing.

REDR58

It’s a blatantly racist film based on a book by a racist author glorifying The Lost Cause and pushing stereotype of the Happy Slave. The amount of money it made is irrelevant.

REDR58

And yes the movie softens some of the book’s racism but I’d call that “sanitizing.”

Logan Kerlee

The movie The Birds always terrified my mom, I still don’t understand why. I’d love to see a reaction for it. :)

Logan Kerlee

hahaha, it took me a moment to realize what you meant by CB. xD I always just refer to them by name.

zona999

"Inherit The Wind" with legendary performance by Spencer Tracy. George, particularly, will love it. Based on true story-infamous free speech case.

zona999

"Some Like It Hot", brilliant comedy with Jack Lemon, Tony Curtis and Marilyn Monroe.

zona999

We've got to get some Tennessee Williams in here! "Streetcar Named Desire" and " Cat On A Hot Tin Roof".

zona999

A film that would blow George and Simone's minds is the terrifyingly prescient, 1957's "A Face in the Crowd".

Michael

Zero Mostel and Gene Wilder are so great in The Producers

Kelly Pickard

For future consideration… Movies: - Stardust (2007) - Logan Lucky (2017) - Arthur (1981) - Death Becomes Her (1992) - Waking Ned Devine (1998) - Moonstruck (1987) - Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (1988) - The Money Pit (1986) - Margin Call (2011) - Legend, Director's Cut (1985) - The Adventures of Priscilla: Queen of the Desert (1994) - Flash Gordon (1980) - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990) - Masters of the Universe (2026) - City Slickers (1991) - The Craft (1996) - A Man for All Seasons (1966) - Bridesmaids (2011) TV: - Batman: The Animated Series - Disney's Gargoyles - Barry (Max) - Interview with the Vampire (AMC TV series) - Invincible - Midnight Mass

That monologue in The Great Dictator, I want to hear your thoughts so bad.

Mike S

Birds!🐦‍⬛ 🐦‍⬛ 🐦‍⬛ 🍿

Hardcore Henry

Dan

To be fair the short story The Birds and the film are almost entirely different - they only share a general concept and a title. Setting, characters, plot, etc all completely different.

BellaBlue

been wanting OFOTCN for awhile now

Scribbles_the_mouse

May i suggest The Ballad of Buster Scruggs. A Cohen Bros western. A Million ways to Die in the West is a funny western by Seth McFarland, along the lines of Ted.

xeve

Have they done Cool Hand Luke?
