90-Minute Classics - where we watch and react to movies considered "classics" that are between 80-100 minutes.

Of course "classic" is a subjective term, but we have chosen a list of films from your suggestions that we believe satisfy that credential.

Neither of us have seen any of these movies with the exception of Airplane! and Monty Python and the Holy Grail which we both watched as children, but have not seen in many years and don't remember much beyond the most famously known jokes

Multiple votes are allowed so vote for each movie you'd like to see and the one with the most votes will be the winner! 

The reaction will be recorded and posted to Patreon in December.

Doctor Strangelove is a classic, a dark comedy that perfectly encapsulates the anxieties of the Cold War. It also is a tour de force by Peter Sellers, who plays *three* different roles in it, and has a marvelous early performance by George C. Scott, before he became world-famous.

War of the Worlds! One of my all time favorites.

War of the Worlds was impressive for practical effects at the time, and not too many people react to it

You can't make people pick between these four! Just make us vote on the order of the next 4 90 minute reactions instead :)

I’m surprised you didn’t have The Thing From Another Planet on the poll. Have you both seen it.

I've seen all of these, and I own all of them except for Grail. I've seen them all this year except for again, Grail, which I have not seen since probably the early 80s. I guess it just didn't click that much with me, although after so long it might if I were to watch it again. It is on Netflix, so if it wins I have access to all of them. Out of the others in the order of how many times I've seen them would be Airplane, Dr. Strangelove, and WotW. Since I would vote for one you haven't seen I would go with WotW, but I don't think you could go wrong with any of them.
