Help me pick a movie!
Title says it all! Some of these are definitely a bit different from one another lol. Looking forward to seeing what wins!

I would've voted for Lars and the Real girl but I knew it couldn't win so I voted The Big Short 💔
Pedro Pascal would choose Paddington.
Some say Austin powers basically killed the spy movie. It wasn't until Jason Bourne that you get James bond again and it's done more in the Bourne style than the traditional.
hmmm yeah HItchhiker's tv show from 81 is better than the movie for me. Hard to get better than the original you grew up with sometimes. Austin for me in this list.
Need me some Austin powers!
I’m gonna sit this one out.. I can’t stand Austin Powers 😅
Same. Just annoying
I'm secretly rooting for Paddington, only because then you'll be closer to viewing the perfection that is Paddington 2 lol.
Damn it I was really hoping for The big short to win this time.
The Nice Guys
Given your reactions to other movies....i really think you will appreciate the humor of Hitchhiker's Guide. Also....Alan Rickman.
I really don’t understand the appeal of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. The books are amazing. The movie, despite an incredible cast, is ok at best. Just my opinion, of course
Well, the Harry Potter movies are mostly just ok, but if she makes a poll with one of them on it, people would vote for it like crazy. It's just very beloved.
Lets go Big Short! It's such an important movie and perfectly(I mean perfectly) excuted. I guess I will settle for a reaction to one of the most iconic comedic roles of all time.
You won’t ever go for Iron Claw, I’m guessing
If I remember correctly, Natalie appreciates more emotion-based films and series. I love Sci-Fi, so I voted for Hitch-hiker's. But that's a very secular, non-emotion based movie. Paddington is emotion based, but for the emotional depth of children. Austin powers is hilarious, no emotion and no logic or intelligence behind it, just based comedy. The other two I haven't seen. I guess it all depends upon what emotion we want to see from her...
If you haven't seen the big short, main emotions are: confusion/bewilderment/anger/disgust but it's also funny.
Lars and the Real Girl is WONDERFUL. It definitely won’t win, but this is Ryan Gosling at his best. Premise sounds odd, but it’s SO sweet.
wow, so many. I like Austin Powers but voted for The Big Short. I also really like Hitchhikers Guide but I know some purists didn't like this version of it.
It looks like my pick (Austin Powers) might actually win this time. I'm a Gen Xer and my movie preferences don't seem much aligned with most voters on the site.
Oh wow, I'm so happy Hitchhikers Guide is fighting for 2nd place here. It is kind of a niche movie, not something that was a huge box office or awards winner, so I'm hoping it makes it onto another poll sometime! That said, if you haven't watched the Austin Powers trilogy they really are must-watch comedies from the early 00's.
Since it looks like Austin Powers will be the winner: There are 3 movies, and unlike most other comedy series, both sequels are better than the original. Which is not to say the original isn't great, but the series as a whole is typically what fans remember.
Agreed. I know a lot of people are pretty "meh" on Goldmember because it's just complete and utter nonsense, and feels like a series of sketches more than a movie, but I love that they just went balls to the wall and just went for the absurdity.
Unpopular opinion: So I Married An Axe Murder is a far better movie than Austin Powers.
Very slightly better, yes! Much better written!
Austin Powers has one of the best opening credits OF ALL TIME 😆
if you love music then there's an Indian Movie called Rockstar that would be a great watch-along; a great story, and an evergreen album of songs. it's on Prime Video with Eros.
I remember liking Austin Powers in high school but I rewatched it a few years ago and wasn't as funny as I remembered. The first movie is kinda tame compared to the sequels and there are too many dated '90s references. If Natalie is going to watch a ridiculous comedy I'd recommend THE NAKED GUN movies. The first two movies are must-watch cop comedy classics! I voted for The Big Short because it's funny, intense, and disturbing in a "WTF were they thinking!? Oh... $$$$$" way.
If The Big Short doesn’t win this time, please be sure to bring it back. Even if it’s not a movie that performs well for your channel, it’s a very important movie that needs to be shared with others (IMO). I think your analysis of it would be very, very interesting and make it more accessible to lots of folks that might feel it was out of their depth otherwise.
Paddington 1 and especially 2 are amazing and heart warming. Austin Powers is classic comedy but better for James Bond fans.
Paddington and it's sequel are great, disappointed it's not doing better.
Yeah I love Austin Powers, voting for that
I wonder how YouTube will react to Austin Powers type of Comedy in 2024 lol
I've watched several reactors do it, and it's been totally fine.
We have to get Natalie into the Austin powers films. All 3 of them are just stupid fun comedy.
I love every version of The Hitchhiker's Guide, but the movie version is probably my least favorite, mostly because of the stuff they left out in order to insert a whole new subplot that didn't do much for me. The best parts are the parts lifted directly from the book, in which case you might as well just listen to the audiobook or the radio play. But I also know plenty of fans who vehemently disagree, so whatever! =D
If you were to give a watch for the Hitchhiker’s BBC tv series, that would be a definite YES!
Paddington 1 AND 2 are AMAZING. My heart still can't handle it.
But The Big Short is amazing must must must watch! It'll never win a poll so you have to squeeze it in somewhere
I would love the big short. Its the best movie on the list in my opinion
Hitchhiker's Guide is underrated and beautiful. Will definitely go over a lot of people's heads. I'm not mad at Austin Powers though.
This is a weird mix of movies but I'd have to go with Paddington or Lars and the Real Girl, which are both pretty wholesome films, in their own right (especially Lars which really surprised me). I was never a huge Austin Powers fan, always thought the schtick got old pretty quick, but I'm clearly in the minority there, as it got 2 sequels and is currently winning this poll. I'm sure it'll be a fun time either way.
I voted for Austin, but I just wanted to comment and say I appreciate your last couple of lines and wish more people would react in the same manner when the movie they least want to see win actually does.
The most popular is not always the best.
Austin is still pretty funny
If you've never seen Austin Powers, everything else doesn't matter. 🇬🇧 💁♂️
How is Hitchhiker's losing to Austin Powers!? I loved the movies as a kid, but they haven't aged as well as the others on the list. Plus Hitchhiker's has Allan Rickman. That should already make it more appealing.
I feel the same way, but it's definitely less mainstream than Austin Powers.
On Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, most of the humor of the book is lost in the movie. Watch the movie, but I recommend only doing so after having read the book.
Wow, I didn't know there were Big Short fans haha
What a list! My top 2: the classic Austin Powers or the very funny & very informative "The Big Short"! Bale, Gosling, & Carrell were superb in this film!
The Austin powers trilogy is great
Big short is really good
Definitely The Big Short!
Austin Powers is funny for sure, but Hitchhikers Guide is a delightful movie that doesn't get enough love :)
Waiting for AoT to be on one of these polls
AoT?
The people need The Big Short
Big Short is fantastic and should definitely win this one!
insert [I'm doing my part!] GIF here
Someone needs to react to The Big Short. That movie is so damn funny.
Also depressing AF
Glad to see Austin is winning
Happy Wednesday Nat. Probably the most eclectic poll you have ever posted ha ha 😄 I can't even begin to guess what's going to win, but I'm going to vote for Paddington, just because 😊 Have a great day Nat 💛
Of those, Austin is the only one I would rewatch so it has to be that one.
Austin and Hitchhiker's Guide are the only two I've seen, and I was super disappointed by Hitchhiker's Guide so almost by default, Austin wins for me.
Oh man so many famous movies on this list I was a little worried but so far I trust the process. Austin powers let’s go
