For the Thursday poll war

Helluva week! Can't wait. Though Raging Bull and Dr Zhivago would seem to be hilariously incongruous bookends, they are both truly epic and truly great. And I've never watched the famously snowbound Zhivago in the summertime--should make for an interesting experience in this sweltering heat.

Poll category: Outsiders

How do we make "summer" movie into a category...maybe adventure or road trip?

Poll category: with the Paris Olympics beginning this week, French movies, or at least, French set movies.

Looking forward to Raging Bull and Dr Zhivago, Ames. Both have been on my list forever and will be first time watches for me!

Good on you Dennis!! Zhviago is a masterpiece! An exciting week when paired with Raging Bull and a WOW spin 🤑👍

I know Raging Bull is a classic. ( Voted best movie of the 80s.) But DeNiro portrays an absolutely vile character, Jake LaMotta, that I just can't stand. BTW, you can see the real Jake LaMotta in the movie, "The Hustler" with Paul Newman and Jackie Gleason.

What about a foreign film poll? There's a category that is definitely under-represented.

It's so great that you're taking in all the New Hollywood auteur works of De Niro. Most people miss The Deer Hunter especially. Most of all, you could be the one who finally rectifies the biggest gap in the entirety of the reactosphere, the single biggest gem in all of film known only to the film buff set: Once Upon A Time In America. If you're as baffled as I was as a kid as to why every greatest films of all time list has a megabudget Hollywood crime epic starring Robert De Niro at the height of his popularity that no one ever heard of, the studio butchered it down for runtime, it got panned, and nobody saw it in theaters. Then the director's cut got out and it floored everyone. The famous lore is how one critic called the theatrical cut one of his 10 worst films of the year and the director's cut one of the 10 best films of the decade. Of all the thousands of movies I burned through as a teenage film buff, that one landed the hardest on me. It's always been around the 70th most popular film on IMDB, but other than one small channel, it currently has zero reactions on Youtube.

Not exactly a category in the traditional sense, but I'd like to recommend you get suggestions and devote at least one future go-around to movies (perhaps forgotten or underrated) for which we could not find reactions on any of the channels like this (ie: Cinebinge, Cinepals, Popcorn in Bed, etc.). A few I would recommend that I could not find reactions to (only brief clips and reviews): No Way Out-1987, Kevin Costner & Gene Hackman, Changeling-2008, Angelina Jolie, Nixon-1995, Oliver Stone, The Hand That Rocks the Cradle-1992, Rebecca de Mornay, Bridge of Spies-2015, Tom Hanks, On the Beach-1959.
