2025-02-01 10:48:29 +0000 UTCEternal Sunshine is one of the best movies ever made. Three genuinely deranged geniuses, Gondry, Kaufman and Carey, came together to make something none of them were capable of on their own.

2025-02-01 10:06:10 +0000 UTCLooks like Something About Mary beat out Meet the Parents, I’m surprised by how much though! I would have guessed Meet The Parents would be the bigger Ben Stiller movie since it’s more recent and has a couple of sequels. Not that I’m complaining, Mary is funny and it’s been a while since I saw it. 😄 It just wouldn’t have been my prediction.

2025-01-31 14:45:36 +0000 UTCYup! Jerry Maguire! But here's another one: "Music and Lyrics" (2007).
Randolph Tirazona
2025-01-31 00:48:03 +0000 UTCFWIW I think you would like Jerry Maguire (1996) another one to add to the list after one of these movies wins.

2025-01-30 22:07:31 +0000 UTCSome great choices here! It probably won't be the popular choice, but I think Somewhere In Time could be an Addie classic.
Jon Anderson
2025-01-30 21:58:42 +0000 UTCDon't forget about Shazam in the DC. Great movie.
Michael Tucker
2025-01-30 20:28:48 +0000 UTCAnother good movie that I liked but is not listed is Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist. Casablanca wins vs all though.

2025-01-30 19:11:57 +0000 UTCI rewatched Casablanca last year and it still holds up, great movie!

2025-01-30 19:07:33 +0000 UTCI’ll partially disagree in that saying Romancing the Stone “allowed Zemeckis to make Back to the Future” is a bit like saying Duel allowed Steven Spielberg to make Jaws so people know about it. Yeah it’s technically true both movies helped them get their foot in the door to make a bigger summer blockbuster a few years later, but I don’t think most people have watched or even really heard of either film for the most part (certainly not compared to either director’s later works!) P.S. That’s a loose analogy, to be fair, Romancing the Stone definitely did better at the box office then duel!

2025-01-30 19:07:05 +0000 UTCI regret to inform Miss Miss Addie Counts that she neglected to include the horror classic My Bloody Valentine (1981) ❤️⛏️🩸 😁

2025-01-30 18:44:10 +0000 UTC"Romacing the Stone" isn't *that* deep of a cut, IMO. A handful of other reactors have watched it. And its success was basically what allowed Robert Zemeckis to then make a little movie called "Back to the Future."

2025-01-30 18:15:51 +0000 UTCI have a write in candidate- the perfect movie- Casablanca.

2025-01-30 17:21:10 +0000 UTCCool, there are some decent movies on this. 🙂 I'm going with There's Something About Mary, Meet the Parents, or Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. (It'll be interesting to see which Ben Stiller movie beats the other in the poll! 😄) Also, Addie, I highly, highly recommend adding When Harry Met Sally (1989) for a future Rom-Com or similar suggestion box. It's pretty great. 👍 P.S. Romancing the Stone is kind of a deep cut pick. It's not my favorite in the action-Romance genre, but it's ok. 🙂 It came out the same year as Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (the second Indiana Jones film) and kind of got swept under the rug by that. I'd say the two are pretty on par with each other. Neither is as good as the original Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, but to be fair that's a high bar to reach!

2025-01-30 17:13:47 +0000 UTC"When Harry Met Sally..." not being on this list is borderline criminal, but so be it. 🤷♂️ How about another fantasy poll one of these days?
Byrd N. Hand
2025-01-30 17:12:55 +0000 UTCHappy Thursday, Addie! 😊 Some great movie choices for this poll. My votes easily went to "Romancing the Stone" followed by "Sleepless in Seattle". Have a great day today! 😊
Randee Carreno
2025-01-30 17:10:35 +0000 UTCHappy Thursday, Addie. All are great choices but my votes belong to Romancing the Stone (1984), Sleepless in Seattle (1993), Meet the Parents (2000), 50 First Dates (2004), and Hitch (2005), basically a large half of this poll.
Alex Tan
2025-01-30 17:05:15 +0000 UTC50 First Dates, Hitch, or Meet The Parents are all very good options.
