Movie Directors Poll!
Added 2024-09-04 04:38:41 +0000 UTCHey everyone! It looks like we had a tie for last week's poll, so we're going to get a little funky and do both for ya'll! That means Tremors and The Mist are BOTH last week's poll winners!
For this week we're going in a totally different direction and doing Movie Directors! In the comments, feel free to let us know a couple of your favorite movies from these directors. We always love movie suggestions! ❤️❤️❤️

Oooh okay good to know! Thank you!

2024-09-19 23:17:37 +0000 UTCSounds good, thanks for the reply! You also definitely don’t need to watch them both in one sitting, if that’s what you meant. It’s almost better to ‘marinate’ on the first one for a day or two before watching the second, because it’s a lot of info and world building in part 1. Besides that, my only advice is to really pay attention to the dialogue and exposition within the first 30-45 minutes of part 1. There’s a ton of info in there that will guide the rest of the movies. Most reactors talk over or don’t pay attention to some of the opening scenes and are super confused later on.

2024-09-18 20:49:56 +0000 UTCYes! We are going to do Dune, it's just been pushed a bit. With it being longer and there being 2 movies, we need to wait until we have a bit more extra time to watch and edit them :)
Chandra
2024-09-18 18:58:36 +0000 UTCRandom question but I thought you guys would be doing Dune soon?

2024-09-18 06:48:54 +0000 UTCOooh! I had no idea haha

2024-09-05 17:14:52 +0000 UTCThank you so much for all of these movies! This is super helpful ❤️
Chandra
2024-09-05 17:13:59 +0000 UTCI'm so curious to see what movies those directors have done... I don't recognize their names!

2024-09-05 03:13:41 +0000 UTCFor Burton, everything he's done until 2003 is very entertaining except for his Planet of the Apes remake with Marky Mark. Pee-wee's Big Adventure would be the one to watch that you haven't reacted to if you haven't seen it, followed by Mars Attacks and Ed Wood. Bay has Bad Boys, The Rock, and The Island is surprisingly decent if you view it in the context of a throwaway early 2000s summer flick like the Phillip K Dick adaptation that came out the same year I think (Paycheck). Spielberg has some stuff if you're into crowd pleasers. Jaws was the blockbuster that etched the formula into stone and you've seen that, so I think his better films would probably be Close Encounters of the Third Kind (preferably the untouched version without ET), AI, Hook (if only for RUFIO), and Minority Report (bad PKD adaptation but decent flick). Other stuff is stuff you're likely to watch or have watched anyway (Jurassic Park, Indiana Jones, etc). Hughes is 80s teen fluff that if you recognize the name of the film you know what you're signing up for. You two definitely know what to watch here. As for the last poll winners, for entirely selfish reasons I hope Tremors gets recorded first. Such a good flick for a reaction.

2024-09-05 02:33:20 +0000 UTCOK now I understand it's merely an issue of unfamiliarity 😅 Personally, I'm also a big fan of Paul Thomas Anderson, Darren Aronofsky, and Eli Roth though I know their likelihood of winning a poll like this

2024-09-05 00:21:43 +0000 UTCAnd he's also the first director on this list to get a film in the Criterion collection... and it was his 3rd film... Armageddon.

2024-09-05 00:02:50 +0000 UTCYeah originally Pee-wee was not children's entertainment, it was an adult spoof/parody of children's entertainment.
Kenton Kruger
2024-09-04 23:47:44 +0000 UTCI can't even imagine what a Tim Burton Pee-wee movie would be like. I used to watch the show once in a while and I remember it being very not Tim Burton-y. Haha
Chandra
2024-09-04 23:22:09 +0000 UTCHahahaha... well you make his movies sound very fun, that's for sure!
Chandra
2024-09-04 23:20:23 +0000 UTCHaha, okay I'm not super familiar with directors yet! When we do another directors poll we'll have to add some of the ones you've listed here :)
Chandra
2024-09-04 23:19:59 +0000 UTCYes! We loved E.T. and Jaws!!
Chandra
2024-09-04 23:18:59 +0000 UTCThank you for the recommendations! The Rock is definitely on our list of want to watch movies!
Chandra
2024-09-04 23:18:41 +0000 UTCOh yes, I've heard of that one! It's been recommended a few times!
Chandra
2024-09-04 23:17:42 +0000 UTCWe do love us some Bill Paxton haha
Chandra
2024-09-04 23:17:25 +0000 UTCThank you for the movie suggestions!!
Chandra
2024-09-04 23:17:11 +0000 UTCYou got it!
Chandra
2024-09-04 23:16:44 +0000 UTCSpielberg has many great films to choose from but Schindler's List is one that everyone should watch. At least once in their lives. An important, historical film.
John Colson
2024-09-04 20:11:06 +0000 UTCif you ever do another director list, please add the Coen Brothers!
Allister Fiend
2024-09-04 17:05:07 +0000 UTCSpielberg is the GOAT, so you'll find a much better body of work to choose from. Personal favorites suggestions: Hook Jurassic Park IMO, his best films suggestions: Raiders of the Last Ark Saving Private Ryan A director closely tied with Spielberg whose films you should consider watching is Richard Donner. He's directed films such as Superman The Movie, Goonies, the Lethal Weapon franchise, and The Omen.

2024-09-04 14:39:35 +0000 UTCtry wierd science, by john hughes... very funny and bill paxton at his finest
Kevin Long
2024-09-04 12:36:21 +0000 UTCHoping Minority Report is on the Spielberg poll. Fingers 🤞
SavageDiplomat
2024-09-04 10:06:31 +0000 UTCI'll vote for Michael Bay and The Rock because it's one of the funnest movies I've ever seen. I would vote for John Hughes because I adore his movies and style but I think you guys have already reacted to most of his great films. One that's a little bit in his style (except it's a thriller) and his decade that I think you'd love is WarGames starring Mathew Broderick (Ferris Beuhler's Day Off) and Ally Sheedy (The Breakfast Club).
David H
2024-09-04 06:11:38 +0000 UTCOhhh. The Mist! Heehee, this is gonna be fun. Hard choice, but I voted for Spielberg. A lot of the movies I recommended to you are his. And I don't know if you remember this, but he also did E.T. and Jaws.
Raven Dark
2024-09-04 05:49:35 +0000 UTCLook I'm all for "to each their own" and "art is subjective" and all that. But Michael Bay? Not Stanley Kubrick, not Alfred Hitchcock, not Quentin Tarantino... As far as I'm concerned, Bay has made 2 OK movies, The Rock(1996) and Bad Boys(1995). But you like what you like, I guess.
mikethemotormouth
2024-09-04 05:01:07 +0000 UTCCome worship at the church of Michael Bay. Bow your heads in the presence of his mighty explosions and expensive set pieces. Bask in the greatness of his ground breaking, genre defining 360 hero shot. All hail Bay. May he bless us with many car flips, drone shots and lingering views of beautiful women. Amen.
djKENTO
2024-09-04 05:00:36 +0000 UTCYeah it's kind of hard to be bothered if any of the three win.
Kenton Kruger
2024-09-04 04:51:35 +0000 UTCPaul Reuben's first staring movie. Tim Burton's first movie directing. Danny Elfman's first soundtrack. Phil Hartman's first movie writing credit.
Kenton Kruger
2024-09-04 04:49:18 +0000 UTCBy all means put three of the best directors of all time on your poll, make it really easy 😂 I kid, I kid

2024-09-04 04:44:04 +0000 UTCI'm hoping for Tim Burton so they'll do Pee-wee's Big Adventure, his first movie.
