MOVIE POLL

Comments

HEY! Yes, I'm afraid it is... I personally see everything in original version (with subtitles if I don't know the language) I'm not a fan of seeing foreign movies dubbed, but I can understand your problem with subtitles. Yes, this is a Korean movie, in my opinion great part of its value is in its language and the acting of the actors in it. And it was the best one of the poll, that's why I personally voted for it ๐Ÿ˜…

Victoria

Victoria...(hello! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ) I tried to watch Parasite, but it was all subtitles and my eyes can't read an entire movie anymore (unfortunately, I think I've entered the time in life when I need glasses but haven't yet accepted reality and bought some). And then I thought, is it possible I watched the wrong movie? Or did a subtitle movie really win a movie poll? Cuz... dang...this Patreon group is high-brow! Seriously tho I'm kinda impressed. The FoxTaco Patreon taste level is elevated. ๐Ÿ˜‚ But still not 100% sure I watched the right thing? Is that the correct Parasite movie? The Korean subtitled movie?

ArcAngel

You made the mistake of watching IWTV before finishing the Star Wars trilogy, and now weโ€™re all forcing you to watch fucked-up shit instead of letting you rescue Han ๐Ÿ˜ฃ. I beg you all, let this man watch Return of the Jedi to balance out The Horrors.

Valaree

Still very halloween-ey though with all the ghosts and demons right? Iโ€™m not really a scary movie kind of gal so I love Constantine as an October movie. ๐Ÿ•บ๐Ÿป

LisMM

Itโ€™s a John Wick level action movie starring Dev Patel (Who I absolutely love as an actor) Itโ€™s a very fun watch. ^^ Youโ€™re more than welcome. I love making lists like this

LisMM

I love The Hunt for Red October. All those handsome men in uniform! ๐Ÿ’™

Yvette

Game of Thrones characters? This is fun...lemme think....he loves Arya, Jon, and he develops quite a hilarious crush on Dany ๐Ÿ˜‚ (understandable!) ... It's probably easier to tell you who he hated! He was NOT a Stannis Stan (thank God!) and definitely doesn't like The Red Woman. He literally threw a dance party when Picelle got murdered. ๐Ÿ’ƒ ๐Ÿ˜น ๐Ÿ’€ He also threw a party when Arya and Sansa killed Littlefinger...although he appreciated Baelish as a villain. He loves the dragons and is not amused by the excessive Game of Thrones violence against horses. ๐Ÿ˜‚ He did 8 hour long livechat episodes with us (and there's only like 15-20 of us) for the Histories and Lore videos. 8+ hours...and he is in Greece so he stayed up until like 5am Greek time! He answers every question and reads every comment (both in YouTube and Patreon). The downside is, he doesn't pump out content super fast (he works a traditional job, too) but he is very reliable. GoT is at least an episode a week (which I assume would be the same with IWTV or any other series). And, for the Patreon members, the $11 tier each member gets to pick a movie each month! He hasn't seen anything which is older so to date I've recommended The Wolf of Snow Hollow, The Killing Fields, The Matrix, Pulp Fiction, What We Do In the Shadows, The Ring, Trainspotting and Thor: Ragnarock (normally I'm not a super hero movie fan, but I love Taika Watiti's humor)...I am forgetting some...but the point is, he did them all! And never skipped anyone else's suggestions either. Which is great. Everything is on YouTube. Oh gosh, I meant to ask, is there a particular GoT character(s) who you were thinking of? Anyone I didn't mention? My gosh I sound like his publicist! ๐Ÿ˜‚

Parasite and Arrival for me ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ™Œ

Mary

I'm in! I shall talk my man into watching it tonight! I'm excited... been wanting a good recommendation of something to watch!

ArcAngel

Would be very interested to hear your thoughts on Parasite. I saw it three times in the cinema when it came out and I genuinely think it is an absolute master class of cinematic storytelling. If we're talking Korean movies for the Halloween season, if you haven't seen The Wailing, I highly recommend it!

Vince

oh way Lis this is fucking amazing. Thank you for this. You and Victoria have mentioned Monkey Man it must really be something.

Raymond Walker

I think it's okay, Taco knows how much we love him and his content, and I don't think he feels threatened by another creator and he SHOULDN'T! This is a trusted open relationship.๐Ÿคฃ I will check out his channel! It has some interesting reactions! Let me ask you a question: who are his favourite characters in GOT? Because I will be watching his reactions completely depending on the answer ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ

Victoria

It's not scary in terms of "horror movie scary", it has a strong message but I would say it's more like a thriller/psychological drama with tints of terror.

Victoria

I have to see Parasite, apparently! Is it scary?? ๐Ÿ˜€

ArcAngel

Oooohhh...Constantine would be great for Halloween too...even though it's more action than scary. Good idea!

ArcAngel

๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ I have DEFINITELY mentioned IWTV and he is interested! He is finishing up Game of Thrones (that's how I found him...and his GOT reactions are really great, cant recommend highly enough). And he is Super Cute! ๐Ÿ˜‚ After he finishes GOT (he just finished season 8, episode 4) I'm going to suggest IWTV and mention the wonderful fan base. The reactor's name is GreekGuyReacts. Oh, and he has some great October content (Exorcist, Hereditary, What We Do In the Shadows, Pearl, basically all the A24 movies, and tons of others I can't think of). Should I let you know when he starts IWTV? Is it weird or wrong of me to say that? I don't want to annoy our beloved FoxTaco!

ArcAngel

Arrival is superb. Not gonna win but you should watch it for yourself bc itโ€™s an incredible โ€œfirst contactโ€ movie from the director of Dune/2. Nominated for Best Pic, director, screenplay, production design, etc. Parasite looks like the clear audience winner and it won Best Picture for a reason. Shawshank is many peoples fav movie ever made and may likely be one of yours once you see it. Itโ€™s a classic. Silence/Lambs another Best pic Winner that deserves your attention. Hell, theyโ€™re all good. Just watch them all ๐Ÿคฃ.

Andre

Who is this reactor and is he reacting to IWTV? ๐Ÿคฃ

Victoria

Yep, right down the line iirc - picture, director, actor, actress.

DommeElla

Both would be great movies to see you react to. ๐Ÿ˜‰

LisMM

PARASITE! Also... I think you'll maybe enjoy: "Monkey Man" which is one of my favourites from this year, and "Clue" 1985, it's one of my fav movies of all time! โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿ”ฅ

Victoria

Just thinking ... I subscribe to another reactor who is still very much in the early stages of channel building -- most of his videos get maybe 300-700 views. But a few videos have had huge hit appeal....thousands instead of hundreds of views. And I know you said you don't like scary movies of a certain type...but it is Halloween season... and man, both The Exorcist and Hereditary got thousands of views right away on his channel. Sure you don't want to get scared for everyone's amusement? People love to watch that! ๐Ÿ˜‚ It might be good for your channel especially in October. Just a thought...๐Ÿ˜ˆ ๐Ÿ˜‚

ArcAngel

Ooh I know Arrival isn't gonna win, but seriously if you want a really thought provoking film that's a big one!! Also I know you've talked about CPTSD/PTSD, I really recommend the movie Waltz With Bashir. It's an animated documentary by Ari Folman as he tries to recover his memories of the 1982 Lebanon War. I think it's one of the best films to have ever taken on the subject, and one of the most harshly critical of its kind against war, political power, etc. Just puttin' it out there!

Rav Low

Yup! Shaun of the Dead, then it's Hot Fuzz, then The World's End!

NiamhVT

Yes, Sean of the Dead, then Hot Fuzz...can't remember the last one but it's the only meh one. Hot Fuzz is hilarious. They are all good October movies, too.

ArcAngel

The first one is Shaun of the dead right?

Raymond Walker

Love the cornetto trilogy!

ArcAngel

Have you seen Fight Club by the way?

Valaree

Parasite is the bestttt for reactions ๐Ÿคญ

terrestrialbody

That makes me feel better that I'm not the only one ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ’•

Natty

Done! Sorry

Melissa

That makes total sense. Itโ€™s amazing but visually really overwhelming, I have a friend with a migraine condition who still hasnโ€™t been able to watch it.

Natasha

Excellent rec

Natasha

๐Ÿคท๐Ÿฟโ€โ™‚๏ธ lol we shall see

Raymond Walker

๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ fair enough that's what I thought it was to until some friends told me no it isn't about anime brother lol

Raymond Walker

I will always vote for Shawshank Redemption when listed. Starring many great actors like Morgan Freeman, Tim Robbins, Clancy Brown, Bob Gunton, James Whitmore, and Jeffrey DeMunn. The story is told so masterfully. Written and directed by Frank Darabont, based on the 1982 Stephen King novella. Very realistic setting since it was filmed in a real Ohio prison, adding to the believability of the story. It's an allegory for maintaining one's feeling of self-worth when placed in a hopeless position. Powerful film that is timeless.

Kim

Funny story: I personally hated Parasite because I thought it was supposed to be the live action version of the anime Parasyte, which does exist. I was a whole hour in like, "Where tf are the aliens?!" ๐Ÿ˜…

Natty

How abouttttt Parasite > Deadpool & Wolverine > The Cornetto Trilogy? ๐Ÿ˜

NiamhVT

WWDITS is one of my favorite comedies of all time!!

Megan Anne

I haven't seen the second movie it came out when my eyes were really bad..there alot of movies i haven't seen

Raymond Walker

Silence of the Lambs might be the only safe entry in the franchise because of licensing issues with the show.

Jessica

Is anything BUT Oppenheimer an option ๐Ÿ˜‚

Aquielle

So many amazing options ๐Ÿ˜ญ. I voted Parasite but Shawshank, Arrival, and SotL are equally good, award-winning, amazingly beautiful films.

Valaree

Right! It's amazing ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿพ

Valentine

And sometimes unhealthyโ€ฆ*cough* looking at you Anne Rice

AnnaS

That would be my second choice, after SOTL. A wonderful & often overlooked gem!

CatsEyeWatching

I'm going to suggest an amazing movie for the Halloween season, 'What We Do In the Shadows.'. It's a mocumentary about vampires, it's brilliant, it's hilarious, it sticks with the vampire theme. I doubt you'll pick it ...but watch it for your own enjoyment if you can cuz it's so smart and funny -- critically acclaimed -- such a fun time. It was made in 2014 or 15? Have you seen Thor Ragnarok? It's the same writer as wrote Thor Ragnarok. It's so good.

ArcAngel

Voted for Arrival - its underrated imo and I'm a sucker for healthy existentialism.

AnnaS

Shawshank

deedra Mcconis

Been a "Fannibal" since 2013, so cannibal/foodie puns are now in my bones๐Ÿ˜‰ Going to a Hannibal Fan Halloween party next weekend, previous parties have featured some extremely interesting (and often funny) menu items influenced by the show!

CatsEyeWatching

Arrival is absolutely phenomenal

Jules

Parasite!!!! Next choice is Shawshank Redemption but definitely Parasite lol.

darkparadise.

I voted for Shawshank because it's a damn good movie (among many good options). But I specifically voted against SOTL because it might color/bias your viewing of the show. It would be a good movie to watch afterward OR now if you're going into it with the idea of both show and movie being separate non-related entities (if only to see a younger Lawrence F. and Anthony Hopkins' excellently unsettling Hannibal).

Indi500

I was going to say wait Silence of the Lambs until after you're done with Hannibal, but thinking back on it I don't think it would spoil anything at all. Plus you might enjoy a few scattered Easter eggs in the show that reference the movie.

Amanda Winstead

Oh Melissa you're good, I believe you can chsnge it by just hovering over a differn choice? ๐Ÿ‘€right?

Raymond Walker

FoxTaco: Please change my vote. I voted for Shawshank Redemption because I didn't notice Parasite. Thank you

Melissa

hahashaha you did't have to do that "flavoring" is CRAAAZZYYY ahaha i love it. I wasn't aware of the awards as well so now I am even more excited!

Raymond Walker

I agree! Parasite is crazy good!

Melissa

I did, only reason Star Wars wasnโ€™t my first pick is because I was thinking the last Jedi when I read it the first time, return of the Jedi is solid

James Drewery

One of the few genre films and the ONLY Horror/Suspense film to receive multiple Academy Awards including Best Picture, I voted for Silence of the Lambs. LOVE most all the choices, but Lambs would serve both as a contrast and added "flavoring" to your NBC Hannibal viewing๐Ÿ˜‹

CatsEyeWatching

nah let it hang james lol vote with you heart

Raymond Walker

hahhahaha that last part cracked me up. Slowly but surely i want to tackle a few of them

Raymond Walker

I voted for something else but had to go Star Wars after seeing it at 0%๐Ÿ˜ญ

James Drewery

Pllllease let me be able to choose more than one. I chose Parasite( I think you would get alot out of it and have a great discussion) but I also want to choose SpiderVerse because Spiderverse

Valentine

Silence of the Lambs since you're already watching Hannibal! But honestly any of these would be fun.

sam

Have you never seen spiderverse?

Natasha

thats why you're the best Natasha!

Raymond Walker

Honestly would watch any of the above

Natasha
