Interesting genre and I haven’t seen anything on the poll so curious to see what wins.

Cristy

Great genre choice, enjoy. I haven't seen these so won't vote but you should consider Safe Haven or Sleeping with the Enemy next time.

Onno Smits

Haha, that's a first. I have never even heard of any of these movies! 😂

Whoah! Something Wild!!! Jonathan Demme when he was still Jonathan Demme! Giant wild yes to that one! If you like Scorsese's "After Hours".......dig that one for sure! One of the movies that got me through the lame 80s! 😂 Jeff Daniels, Melanie Griffith, and Ray Liotta. When I think of Ray Liotta, I don't think of Goodfellas; I think of "Something Wild", THEN "Goodfellas"! I'm sure "Witness" will win, but don't sleep on "Something Wild". Everybody reading this! Put that one on your list! That's the first movie I think of when I think of Jonathan Demme.

witness has a big lead so far (understandably, it's a good one), but i really hope you'll get to dead again for a future watch.

Cosmic Slice

Really pulling for Dead Again. I've been waiting for a reaction channel to get to that movie!

DelGuy03

This is an interesting genre to choose. Another title that wou.d qualify for it (I think?) is Gone Girl, but maybe you've seen that already.

What a great poll, you should do more of these mash-ups! Body Heat...I don't remember enjoying the movie, but anything anything with Kathleen Turner (her debut!) immediately gets a thumbs-up of course. No Way Out is one of my favourite movies, great thriller. Dead Again is a wild ride. Witness is fantastic, but maybe hasn't aged well, OTOH you get to see the de-aged version of the ineffectual level designer at the start of Inception! I'm not sure how many of the others I've seen, so I'll probably vote for one of those.

Roland Cooke

An idea for future polls....don't start with a poll, rather give your Patrons a week or two to pitch why one or more movies on the list should be voted for. That'll give a chance for unfamiliar movies to get some love. THEN issue the poll. :)

I have seen Fracture & Unfaithful, nothing else. I think the first is Ryan Gosling's earliest & his chemistry with Anthony Hopkins reaches Jodie Foster levels imo. Unfaithful has great acting & one of the most risque scenes in a film, that I got to watch with my parents when it came out. The totality of my sex education consisted of whatever minimalist stuff they taught in school, shaming indoctrination during Lutheran catechism & my parents giving me the Ken & Barbie marriage set, and my mom yelling "fast forward!" to my dad during sex scenes in movies.

UnKay

Also I just thought of Show Girls again lol, never did dust it off to watch yet, so I gotta do that to confirm ... BUT I wonder if my opinion that accusations are exaggerated, about it being over-exploitative and scandalous, is because I was raised in the dance culture & industry where that amount of intensity, nudity, sensual & misogynistic undertones are par for the course. Most people don't realize dancing is pure competitive cutthroat in the most backhanded ways, Black Swan did the best job portraying this, it's permeating with sloppy & corrupt practice, so I'm more inclined to agree with revised criticism of it bordering on satirical genius. If it's making .... edited: (universal you, including former critics) cringe & uncomfortable, then [they] don't realize how often your tits gotta be out (to breathe lol) and to quick change into scantily clad costumes designed for optimal movement & performance ... imo, it's downright educational.

D Gyre

Its not viable because of its rating, is my understanding. Because of that rating they aren't going to consider it.

Youtalkingtome

The content itself wouldn't "bother us" per se. We love artists and good art often tests the bounds of what makes us comfortable. We just do want our channel to be a place where we react to works that stray into NC-17 territory for the comfort of all subscribers as well (yes, we know some of the shows we watch like GoT and The Sopranos have similar issues, but we have to draw the line somewhere.)

Youtalkingtome

I had similarly scarring introductions to sex education with my parents. Some REALLY uncomfortable shared viewing as a child.

UnKay

Never ever said a thing about them watching it. This was a direct elaboration on my first thoughts weeks ago. It was a revelation I had and wanted to share since the idea of Unfaithful brought it up lol.

UnKay

My comment had zero to do with your choice. I was elaborating on what I first said about it because I was reminded of it again. If someone doesn't remember much of what I said before, just ignore lol.

UnKay

This comment is highly general and to be taken that way, if I wanted it to be more pointed it would be as my first one was. I had an interesting recent revelation about my opinion at the time the topic came up and wanted to share. I hope that makes it clear. There were a few exchanges with a couple people at the time, dk who they were, so just wanted to elaborate on my opinion then (not about whether or not they should watch it), if they might see and understand my perspective about the movie itself with more context. Not sure how else to explain that.

Kristi Govertsen

I’m going to echo that if Dead Again doesn’t win, that you should consider watching it at some point. With Emma and Kenneth just being their awesome selves (this is during the window when they were still married), and storytelling that is original and compelling.
