Never ending story?

I like that movie. I bought the Kiss album "Destroyer" (having the song Detroit Rock City) when released in 1976. I was 13.

Clay F

I'd love to add another one that ALMOST NO ONE has reacted to, and that's a bit of a fun Rock 'n' Roll romp called DETROIT ROCK CITY. Amazingly fun ride that is amazingly overlooked. But I'm not officially adding it yet; you can if you like 😏 🤘😎🎸

MertzRocks

I added one that NO ONE ever reacts to (tiko): SPLIT (James McAvoy, Anya Taylor-Joy, Betty Buckley) with the caveat that UNBREAKABLE (Bruce Willis, Sam L Jackson) should be watched first. And ofc GLASS finishes the trilogy. EDIT - IMHO McAvoy deserved at least an Oscar nomination for his role in SPLIT.

MertzRocks

Opps, I didn't read this first I guess I messed that up sorry.

Jack Pflieder

FYI to everyone -- you can change your WoW pick by submitting a new movie, but please don't re-submit your WoW pick if it's already on the list. You can check the current list here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1G_bQan4OO5x8r9hyTq-n4DzjTbB6Euzkl-m6qD8Y9MM/edit?gid=1364935496#gid=1364935496

Hi Greg, just want to let you know that you don't need to re-enter your WoW pick. Shaft was already on the list; if you re-enter your pick, it will just be deleted.

JM63

I wish she's show some empathy towards vets by reacting to some of the bigger war movies, such as Patton, Kelly's Heroes, Longest Day, Battle of the Bulge, etc.

Greg in East TN

I think she's an actress or training to be one. She's mentioned on livestreams about taking acting class and going to auditions.

Mario

Are there any videos where Ames explains her background? She discusses films in a way that suggests she has a deep knowledge of film making. I'm curious to know where this knowledge comes from.

Thoko

The Gorge was actually impressive yes! As well as a new sci fi movie “Companion” I was pleasantly surprised with both of these.

Jason Parker

i was hoping beyond hop it was good...i'll have to check it out

michael anderson

not saying you have to do a reaction, but just for anyone wondering.. I watched new Movie " The Gorge" this weekend. I was apprehensive, because most new movies suck now and i Never really cared for Miles Teller. But this one was actually really really good. A 2025 hidden Gem maybe.

IP Freeely

if it's a sneezy thumbnail, i'll be happy

Hi Greg, JM here (I maintain the WoW nomination list). You can check if a movie is available to stream in Canada by using sites like justwatch.com/ca or letterboxd.com (change the country on "where to watch" to CA). Those sites will tell you if a movie is on a streaming site like Youtube CA or Amazon CA (i.e. Prime Video). Your most recent nomination (Being There) is available on Amazon CA, so it's fine. If a nomination isn't available on major streaming sites, I will try to find it on Youtube or the Internet Archive, but that only works sometimes (and mostly with older films). (Also, Ames mentioned that she has trouble accessing and screen recording from Apple TV CA. So films only on Apple are tricky.)

JM63

Does it have to be on YouTube? Or can it be on Prime or something like that? Exactly what do you mean by "stream in Canada?" How do I know if it's available in Canada? Thanks! PS: Your database is really easy to use. I wish more folks would do it like that. The Patreon search function is not very good.

Greg in East TN

My entry "Glory (1989)" to The Wheel of Movie Wonder won a poll below. Nice when that happens.

Clay F

I see that you are working your way through the AFI 100 anyway, but I can't resist hopefully adding to the motivation to get to Lawrence of Arabia sooner rather than later!

Mark Sullivan

i try to use my american standard LOL

Amalia Wolf

Never would’ve guessed A is Canadian from her accent.

Michael Tuffin

Ok

Budsfan67

"Rocky" (1976), "Rocky" (1976), "Rocky" (1976)!!!

Randolph Tirazona

I think so, there were two members who both had "13 Hours" for their pick before it got selected this month

JM63

My original pick is no longer available to stream, so, for everyone's convenience, I'd like to submit a different one. Just to clarify something: is it alright for me to submit another film that's already on the list (to increase the odds it gets selected)?

Greg E.

Cool!!!!

Amalia Wolf

Hey Ames. I love the wheel of wonder. So far, all the movies have been awesome! I picked my favourite childhood movie that i've literally watch over 200 times to add to the Wheel! 1982's The Dark Crystal. Hopefully one day It wins and we can watch it together!

MarkGauci85

NO worries! 😂😂😂 appreciate the passion!

Amalia Wolf

You're going to murder me, Ames, but I changed my WOW pick (yet again) to "The King Of Comedy" (1982).....with AFI Fridays, that frees me up to nominate movies that SHOULD be on the AFI list! 🤣 Don't worry: King Of Comedy has an INCREDIBLE female performance in it! (I hope it doesn't screw you up!) (I promise, I won't change it again!!!!)

Toc

Hey... I appreciate the offer, but just putting it back on is fine. Again, if it happened to me, I might not be the only one so when you get a chance you might want to cross-reference your patrons and their nominations to make sure they're on your Google Doc. I appreciate the quick response, and thank you for the apology.

Carl Lyngholm

Hey Carl! I am so sorry! I def feel super bad as it was probably ME and human error as I had been recently deleting some old patrons off the list so please forgive me. I hope to get a better system one day for the spin. To rectify I can go back and check to see when it may have been deleted and give you a couple of extra spots on the wheel for the next 5 spins or something. IM MAD cause this is a huge pick that I would LOVE to see!!! again, I am so sorry!

Amalia Wolf

Hey Ames... just checked the Google Doc to see what was on there and noticed that my nomination "Amadeus" has somehow mysteriously disappeared. So... not sure what happened but there's been at least 3 or 4 (if not more) spins since I last checked, so not sure how many actual spins we've had with my nom (apparently) not even in the running. To say I'm "angry" is an overstatement, but this is obviously not ideal. And if my nom is missing, who's to say what else might be. If it's on the list, and I'm somehow just not seeing it, apologies, but I went through it 3 or 4 times. For all I know it's still been on the wheel this entire time, and just disappeared off the Google Doc, but please correct this. Thanks.

Carl Lyngholm

Ames said before that it's ok if multiple ppl choose the same movie (to increase the odds). So you don't HAVE to change it back to Bonne And Clyde. It's up to you

JM63

Ames, I am so sorry, I screwed up the WOW list just now. I had "Bonnie And Clyde" as my pick, but I decided to change it, and I thought that if I just added the title, using the form, it would replace my old pick. Instead it added my name, with a date and time put next to it. Here's the thing: my "new" pick was "Singin' In The Rain".....but I see someone else already picked it! So now I'm like: just leave it as "Bonnie And Clyde", and remove my new addition of "Singin' In The Rain"! So sorry to mess things up!

Tic Toc Melody

Never mind!

Silentwolfie62

How do i add a movie?

Silentwolfie62

Here's a complete listing of reactions (it's in the Membership section): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Ndj2_7oQbq2Hak-uacT0ctEIr_paEfnMTcRfEttflCs/edit?gid=0#gid=0

JM63

I feel silly. But there are no Tags for Hell or High Water and it doesn't come up in the search bar. I'm just wondering what else I can't find. I was shocked to find Hell or High Water in W.O.W Spin #14.

RabidMango

Hi! Welcome! U just have to search in the magnifying glass and or click the collections and u will find everything!

Amalia Wolf

I'm new here. Can someone ELI5 the concept here and how I can find which movies you've reacted to? I'm very ignorant and I apologize but I think you've reacted to Hell or High Water but I can't find it in your tags or in the search. Could someone help me find the total list of movies reacted to? (I'm sure the answer is obvious and I'm probably embarrassing myself asking.)

RabidMango

Thanks will do

christopher brown

Never late! Just add ur 1 pick to the Google doc! Check the link :)

Amalia Wolf

Soldier (1998) sorry if I'm late for the spin

christopher brown

I did see that and do plan to stay on. I've watched your videos for a while but wasn't sure how you went about movie suggestions. Once I figured out it was through Patreon I jumped on here

Gage M.

Sounds great! Not sure If ur on a free trial but I have requested to not submit unless you plan to stay on! I only spin with active members or picks will be deleted. I keep it fair for the active members!

Amalia Wolf

You're the only reactor I consistently watch so I wanted to submit a movie I'm desperate to have finally get it's first reaction video on YT, The King (2019). It sadly flew under most people's radars and imo is a cinematic masterpiece. If it's gets picked I hope you love it as much as I do!

Gage M.

I hear you Clay... Another great actor lost. M*A*S*H continues to amaze me. The spontaneity and chemistry between the leads on this film is still some of the best acting I've ever seen. Sutherland always brought it. For an actor who made a career playing wonderful oddballs I thought his role in Ordinary People was one of his best. First time I ever saw him play a straight role and having grown up on the North Shore of Chicago his portrayal of Conrad's conflicted father epitomized wealthy North Shore WASP.. R.I.P. indeed....

RFK Fan

My two favorite Donald Sutherland movies: --M*A*S*H (1970) --Klute (1971) (w/Jane Fonda) R.I.P.

Clay F

Ames I'll post a phrase give us your reaction... Forrest Gump!

Randolph Tirazona

Not on the same level but a pretty good one :)

Randolph Tirazona

Nope

Amalia Wolf

How about "The Cutting Edge" (1992) ?!?

Randolph Tirazona

It is definitely of of thee greatest of all time!

Randolph Tirazona

It was a mission statement

Amalia Wolf

I watch it all the time it’s my fave haha well one of them

Amalia Wolf

Ames?!? Seen "Jerry Maguire" (1996) ?!? He IS Thee Ambassador of Quan!

Randolph Tirazona

I didn’t delete ya!

Amalia Wolf

I had to drop Patreon for a little while and I just started it again. Do I need to resubmit my pick

Stephen Knueppel

I don’t mind renting - but it makes it easier for everyone else to watch if it’s streamable!

Amalia Wolf

Is it important that it is rentable streaming or free streaming?

Chris H

Kitty!

Randolph Tirazona

Really!!!!!! That’s sweet 😂😂😂😭😭😭😭

Amalia Wolf

I was scrolling thru YouTube videos and found one labeled Top "if you build to, he will come" reactions. Yours was the first one on the list.

Jason Vulgamore

I’ll go throu them again thanks Carl! Can’t wait to watch that movie!

Amalia Wolf

Ok... so i ended up just putting in my original pick again (Amadeus), just to give you a head's up.

Carl Lyngholm

OMGOSH wow! Thanks so much! I do have a PO Box I can forward the link!

Amalia Wolf

I have a question! Is there a way to mail you a package? My daughter and I have made some things for you, if that's ok?

Brittany Morris

Welp I totally added my old suggestion even though I didnt have to, woops. Still Kingdom of Heaven though!

MisturSmith

Yes I’ll have to go throu

Amalia Wolf

Nice update. There are a few duplicate entries on the list, tho

JM63

I tried to check for a prior choice I might have made and didn’t see it but if I did, just go with my new one please. 🙂

Ian Forbes

I just submitted my choice [DanFordy] without realising I was already included from before, but it’s the same movie choice 👍 Thanks!

DanFordy

Thought it was a bonus spin reaction too haha. Stand down red alert ensign.

Pickupthepieces76

Hey Guys, you didn’t have to add a new pick if you already had one, please let me know which one u want to keep. Sorry for any confusion I am just adding a new way to submit so the spreadsheet doesn’t keep getting messed up. Stuff happens but this way moving forward should be easy peasy

Amalia Wolf

No stress!

Amalia Wolf

Lol no stress

Amalia Wolf

Oops, I hope I didn't mess up! I filled in the form (and changed my pick in the process!). If you have two titles for me, by all means just pick the one you're most interested in seeing first! So sorry! The form is helpful actually....it makes it feel official! :D

Tic Toc Melody

Danke.

Jeffrey Schmidbauer

🙈

LaserLamb

nope! its on there ! its added to the list

Amalia Wolf

If we already have a movie on the WoW list, do we need to resubmit our movie selection using the new procedure?

Jeffrey Schmidbauer

im glad someone loves it! makes my day to hear this !!! hahaah truly!

Amalia Wolf

Lol no worries, I was just trying to be funny about the cute ditty you sing.

Catchermag

AWW I am SO SORRY for the False alarm!! AH bummer! I just had to make a few tweaks to make things a little easier because the sheet access was becoming a thing LOL! BEST of luck next week Catcher when we do the next spin!!!!

Amalia Wolf

I got this notification and thought it was an actual spin and I rushed here to watch it, not because I thought maybe I’d win, but because I like the little song that you sing while it’s spinning 😵‍💫
