Arrival is amazing 🙌

QuiGon_Jim

Start with 'Blade Runner' so you can get through Denis Villeneuve's films and eventually watch 'Dune'. His films are amazing, not just the films themselves, but some of the shots in his films are just incredible to look at.

Patrick Egan

Definitely had to vote for Dune because it is an absolute masterpiece and the sequel comes out early next year. I also had to put a vote in for Tron because I don't think it gets nearly enough love. The original 1982 film definitely feels dated but I love it all the same. Plus I think you'd really enjoy the sequel, Tron: Legacy.

Marko T.

Great choices. RoboCop and Starship Troopers by Paul Verhoeven are great. Suggestion: King Kong (2005) by Peter Jackson.

Alex Tan

Happy Tuesday, Addie. All are great choices but my vote goes for Armageddon (1998), produced by Jerry Bruckheimer & directed by Michael Bay.

Mannygogou

I selected - Deep Impact - Arrival - Starship Troopers

Randee Carreno

Happy Tuesday, Addie! 😊 Some really great choices for this poll. I voted for "Armageddon". But honestly it came down to a four way tie between that movie, "Arrival", "Blade Runner", and "Starship Troopers". It was so hard to choose between those four. LOL! I almost voted for "Tron" because I love the sequel. Looking forward to seeing which movie wins. Have a great day today! 😊

Alex Tan

Speaking of Michael Bay, (I don't care what anyone says) I also suggest Bad Boys (1995), The Rock (1996), Pearl Harbor (2001) and Bad Boys II (2003), all produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, as well as The Island (2005), Transformers (all five films), Pain & Gain (2013), 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi (2016), 6 Underground (2019) and Ambulance (2022). #MoreMichaelBayForAddieCounts

3rd on the Arrival

sarCC

Definitely ROBOCOP since you loved TOTAL RECALL so much(and also because it's a perfect movie).

Ed Garland

Arrival is really good and I think you would like it a lot!!

Noby

I wish I could "like" this list more than once. :)

Chip MC

my picks are Arrival and Dune but i feel like Blade Runner gotta come first just bc of its influence over the entire sci fi genre

Laxjedi

Only one on this list that I don’t care for as much is “Armageddon”; although it’s still decent enough. In terms of “crazy over the top” movies, give me those from Paul Verhoeven any day of the week before those from Michael Bay.

Getoff Mylawn

Wait, has Addie not seen Armageddon?! These are all great, and Deep impact is like the thinking mans Armageddon but that movie still holds up as an amazing adrenaline fueled popcorn ride.

David Crabtree

Great list! My top 3 picks are Armageddon, Starship Troopers, and Robocop.

Phil Stubblefield

Yay! We're finally past the October horror movies and into a gene that I love! 😁

Mr. Writhms

Oh god… Science Fiction, my favorite genre. These polls always make me crazy. lol With the profile picture I am displaying, it HAS to be “Blade Runner” every time. But if you can find it in your heart to react to every movie on the poll, it would be greatly appreciated. 😁 And as your unofficial, non-appointed Patreon Poll lawyer, I must suggest: if “Blade Runner” enters the schedule, your go-to must be the ever-popular, readily available “Final Cut” version. If you choose the theatrical cut, my loyalty will come into question. I may unsubscribe from your channel by the year 2049. 😉

LightsCameraJake

Absolutely voting for Armegeddon. Just love Bruce Willis 💙 ❤️

Alex Tan

Me too. I'm in favor of that movie. #Armageddon1998ForAddieCounts

Jesse Shadows

You forgot Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes. But I guess that would be more of a Drama I guess.

Mr. Writhms

Oh no. You can't get more science fiction than Planet of the Apes. The whole premise is science fiction.

Joe Mallard

Great start to a fantastic trilogy.

David Crabtree

Regardless of online rhetoric, most people like Michael Bay movies, he's the 5th highest grossing director of all time.

Alex Tan

I know right. Now I got another reason why I've been pushing for Addie to watch Michael Bay movies.

Vwlss Nvwls

I feel like Deep Impact and Armageddon are out of place in this list. They are not really sci-fi despite the story lines.

Mike Adams

Sc-fi fantasy maybe? lol

Mr. Writhms

More like disaster movies, since the threat in both movies-- though improbable-- are very real science.

Alex Tan

I should also add Gattaca (1997), Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001), Paycheck (2003), In Time (2011) & The Creator (2023) to the mix. #MoreSciFiForAddieCounts

Richard Maurer

The Dune novels are the Lord of the Rings of sci-fi novels, and the 2021 Dune movie is the LotR of sci-fi movies.

Luis Fernandez

I know I'm very much in the minority, but I found both "Arrival" and "Dune" to be extremely boring. They each had good things going for them ("Arrival" has a very interesting premise and "Dune" is beautifully shot), but I found myself losing interest. Maybe I'll change my mind with a rewatch (looking at the current poll numbers, we'll likely get one or both in the not too distant future).

Milsr09

No i completely agree with you

sarCC

Arrival has one of the silliest ending lines, it basically ruined the rest of the movie for me.

Alex Tan

See what I mean @David Crabtree. Addie formed her own opinion and disregarded what anyone said when she said that she enjoyed The Greatest Showman (2017) & Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (2023). And on top of that, Cassie from PiB is about to watch 13 Hours this week.

Alex Tan

I second The Black Hole (1979). It's also the very first PG-rated Disney movie.

Steve SG-1

I would categorize Armageddon and Deep Impact as more disaster movies and maybe insert something like District 9 (2009), Oblivion (2013), Contact (1997), The Abyss (1989), Elysium (2013).

Alex Vazquez

Great list! Can't believe I overlooked some of these. I'm going to delete "E.T." then and include "Forbidden Planet". If you don't mind, I'm going to cherry-pick some of your titles and add them to the list above so they can be readily seen.

Alex Tan

Hopefully you do a poll regarding straight pure action movies. My suggestions include Speed (1994), The Rock (1996), Con Air (1997), Ronin (1998), Enemy of the State (1998) & Gone in 60 Seconds (2000). Feel free to add others to the mix as well.

PHILLIP CORNISH

Some great films on list which will not win but i hope in time Addie watches a few so i can only keep my fingers crossed to join in on a watch along soon. 😘 PS We all seem to like the same films in the comments section but not the votes🤔

Alex Tan

Thank you so much for adding Tenet (2020). It's one of my favorite Christopher Nolan movies and I do hope that Addie watches it someday. #TenetForAddieCounts

Milsr09

Yes Armageddon is awesome. I don't care what the Deep Impact enthusiasts say, it's by far my favorite of the two.

Milsr09

Armageddon yes let's go
