Movie Reaction Poll

Vote on what I should watch and react to next! This Poll will end most likely Sunday and I'll choose the TOP 2 to react to next week on Monday & Wednesday!

No worries, I plan on actually prolonging these recommendations so don't trip if you don't see your selection on here first!

Comments

Has anyone suggested the film Mommy (2014)? It’s so good!!

Since I'm late to this community, I am asking if Slingblade has been suggested before?

Jon Johns

Yep, so sometimes he’ll pick a 3rd to watch if he sees one coming close in a lot of polls.

Brittyn Lindsey

How does James typically pick his TV series? As someone who enjoys anime I think Arcane would be a nice segueway between the two. Although Im sure it's been brought up before! lol.

Last Crusade is one of the most perfect movies in existence. I could write 100 books about the Indiana Jones movies and still have more to say. Nothing gets me quite like they do.

Ashley Summerfield

Tight Race! How exciting! I'm new to this Patreon, are the polls often this close?

Jon Johns

Dynamite surrealist sci-fi - which I love (seem my comment about Zardoz above).

Neal Romanek

The fact that it both broke the rules of and updated the film noir. John Huston's sinister performance. The fact that no better screenplay exists and the fact that no matter how many times I've seen it, I'm still blown away on how it got to the end. Not everything's for everybody though. Much love!

Bert Taverner

Also, the director of H & M is Hal Ashby. Don't think I've seen that mentioned, but he's a highly regarded American director from the '70s who also did The Last Detail (1973) with Jack Nicholson, Shampoo (1975) with Warren Beatty, Bound For Glory (1976), Coming Home (1978) with Jon Voight and Being There (1979) with Peter Sellers. He kind of goes hand-to-hand with Robert Altman to me as far as the maverick, sort of counter-cultural filmmaker of the '70s moniker goes. Maybe somebody will sneak in an Altman recommendation cos man, would love to see you react to Nashville (1975).

Bert Taverner

....well maybe next time for Harold and Maude!

Bert Taverner

Lots of great ones here but Chinatown and Young Frankenstein are definitely the must-sees of the list.

Neal Romanek

Folks who love Chinatown, can you talk a little bit (without spoilers) what you love about it? I LIKE it, and I APPRECIATE it, but I don't love it? I don't know why, and I kind of want to be convinced...

Jon Johns

I've gone with: 1. Chinatown 2. Young Frarnkensteen But, as usual, there are lots of great movies listed, Dark City in particular. And some I've got to get around to watching (Harold and Maude, Lost in Translation, and Harold and Maude).

Brett Coster

🙏🏼

Kate Cassidy

Harold and Maude is on the list twice.

James Moyner

Looks like it! My fingers crossed, too. Was this her first director credit? If so, it's an incredible first effort. Its one of those films you see with friends, and spend 2 hours afterwards talking about.

Jon Johns

Harold and Maude is unsettling and dark and… weird. And funny and sweet. But mostly weird.

Kate Cassidy

Will this finally be the week for Lost in Translation??? 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Kate Cassidy

what's so special about Harold and Maud? If anything, I wanna vote for Tommy Boy twice!

Mister Lou

Young Frankenstein is a welcome surprise!!! Glad Harold and Maud is still here. And Chinatown is a classic. Tough to choose from this week. But Harold and Maud it is. And Young Frankenstein. Surprised the Last Crusade is not running away with the votes. (It's the best Indy film in my opinion)

Marvelous Dolcy

I am once again asking for only one vote, and that vote for Dark City.

Bd Blake

Come on Primal Fear! If we get this one next, it will be the best Christmas gift ever! lol

Nikki Sonrisa

Liking these results so far! Meaning I’m quite happy Lost in Translation is currently leading is all.

ChickensAreRacist

Excalibur for the win

Jon Bradley

Could be a good one for Valentine's Day.

Kaitlin

I even went for Lost in Translation. Its not even a movie that I'm a huge fan of, but it and Harold and Maude have been sitting for too long. I'm seeing it bumped up and I want to help the fam get it

Bert Taverner

I'll keep hoping for my beloved Harold & Maude but It seems unlikely to ever happen.

Cameron Berry

I am holding off on voting for Young Frankenstein to give Lost in Translation its best shot

Nick Parker

Please let it finally be time for Lost in Translation 🙏

Patrick

It's nice to see Young Frankenstein on the poll. I have loved it since I was a kid and I love it just as much now as I did then. Harold and Maude will be my 2nd and 3rd pick.

Damian Christopher

Gotta see Chinatown, man... For the future, I recommend John Boorman's films. I'll toss Excalibur and The Emerald Forest into the ring, but you also have Deliverance, Hope and Glory, and Zardoz (!) to choose from as well.

Christiaan Van den Akker

Yeah Harold and Maude twice lol! Dude, There are so many good ones on this poll, Harold and Maude, Chinatown, Shakespeare in Love and Dark City!

Sonia Deepak

Tommy Boy!! Let's have some laughs with one of the most iconic comedy duos in movie history with Chris Farley (RIP) and David Spade! Tommy Boy has a really solid plot, excellent pacing, and an engaging mix of sarcasm, physical comedy, and heartfelt optimism that never gets old. Easily one of the top 90s comedies and, imho, one of the best comedies of all time!

WhatRaySay

Primal Fear for the story and performance. Edward Norton kills it. Young Frankenstein for the jokes, and performance. Gene Wilder at his best.

2old4gamez

Dark City!

F it, I'm voting for Harold and Maude! I'll drop a recommendation for One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest to continue the Milos Forman train and to see maybe if it and Chinatown will win in the same week, so you can get a proper sit down with Jack Nicholson's greatness

Bert Taverner

Harold and Maude is so good its in the pole twice!

Yours truly, Johnny Dollar

I'm new here but I saw you reacted to a few Villeneuve movies, there's one that I highly recommend called Incendie.

Going Poseidon Adventure and Last Crusade. Young Frankenstein would be 3rd for me.

Cody Price

I am one of the few people who seems to enjoy Shakespeare in Love, but we can credit Tom Stoppard for that. Hoping Harold and Maude wins even though I scrolled down to see Young Frankenstein and knew which one was winning this week. Ha! Great choices! (Any hope of A Christmas Story?)

Kaitlin

Team Dark city!

J.S.Leeds

Chinatown is a classic. The ending still shocks me to this day

Harold and Maude. Always
