ACTOR FRANCHISE!

Rain Man You can get Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise in one go.

She needs a Ryan Reynolds franchise

And I am absolutely NOT a Tom Cruise fan by any stretch of the imagination, but I would also suggest Days of Thunder more as a memorial to the recently departed Robert Duvall.

I voted for Clint Eastwood and the movies I would suggest would be In the Line of Fire or Heartbreak Ridge.

Since Harrison Ford is winning this poll overall while Sigourney Weaver is the highest female vote getter, I recommend the following films be included in the Poll for movie selection: For Harrison Ford: Witness (1985) a "neo-noir crime" thriller! Sabrina (1995) romantic drama -I liked this version better than "the original" Patriot Games (1992) ** The Age of Adaline (2015) In Case Ashleigh picks one from the leading female vote getter, For Sigourney Weaver, I recommend: Heartbreakers (2015) **My preference is for "Clear and Present Danger" (1994) but Patriot Games (1992) should be viewed first!

Maybe Hide and Seek with Robert De Niro... he also has a role in Stardust which is a fun movie.

And you should really watch Dolores Claiborne with Kathy Bates. If not for the channel then do it for yourself. You won't regret it.

I love Sigourney Weaver in Snow White: A Tale of Terror

I picked clint eastwood. Not sure if any of his movies are on the channel. One of my favorites is pale rider

Harrison Ford - Enders Game 2013, Six Days Seven Nights 1998 Sigourney Weaver - The Village 2004, Gorillas in the Mist 1988

I voted for Clint Eastwood as he has the most movies in my top 400 favorites. I literally have 25 movies that I would be happy for Ashleigh to see. But I will limit this to movies in which he has acted and name my top four should Clint Eastwood win this poll. I would hope the poll choices would be for "Space Cowboys" (2000); "Grand Torino" (2008); "The Trouble with the Curve" (2012); and "The Mule" (2018) his westerns, Dirty Harry films (that have given us so many great quotes), his adventure, action, comedy, romance and directorial films will have to wait. I also voted for Tom Cruise in an effort to have Ashleigh view "Far and Away" (1992) historical western & romance epic drama - Ashleigh will love "Oblivion" (2013) epic science fiction action film (which I also regard as a love story) which has great mystery and world wide is regarded as one of the best epic sci-fictions ever; and "Edge of Tomorrow" (2014) also a favorite that she would enjoy (as a big brain movie) I also voted for one of the women: Jodie Foster -one of the most talented Actresses ever! "Taxi Driver" (1976) is a classic and you get De Niro and Foster; "Nell" (1994) "The Accused" "Anna & the King" <---but I would suggest you see the musical version: "The King & I" first.

After watching your reaction to Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind I suggest a Big Brain Poll of movies that you will need to bring the Big Brain for. My suggestions are Inception, The Theory Of Everything, Oppenheimer, Now You Me and 21 And then maybe follow that up with a Little Brain Poll. Dumb And Dumber Cavemen Anything With Paulie Shore George Of The Jungle (Especially the second one)

My choice is Jodie Foster. Such a good actor and has been in some really great tension movies. If I were going to recommend the movies I like (any hopefully others do): - Taxi Driver - Contact - Hotel Artemis - Panic Room I know you've already seen The Silence of The Lambs, and she has a bunch of other good films under her belt like The Accused and The Mauritanian, but I am not as familiar with those ones.

I hope if Harrison Ford stays top, Ashleigh does a reaction to the film ‘Witness’; it’s a great movie, and features an early role by a certain King of Gondor haha. A reaction to ‘Blade Runner’ is also something I hope we get, if Harrison manages to keep his nose in front; it’s one of my favourite films, and Rutger Hauer was fantastic. I’m surprised Robert De Niro is so far behind; his output since the millennium hasn’t been great, but pre that, he has one of the best back catalogue’s on the poll: • ‘Taxi Driver’ • ‘Raging Bull’ • ‘The King of Comedy’ • ‘Goodfellas’ • ‘Brazil’ • ‘Midnight Run’ • ‘Angel Heart’ • ‘Jackie Brown’ And that’s barely even scratched the surface of De Niro’s best work; I could have carried on, but this comment is already too long as it is haha. Hopefully De Niro will get his time to shine eventually, on one of these polls; it would also be nice to see reactions to a few of the less obvious films, such as a few of the ones I mentioned: ‘Brazil’, ‘Midnight Run’, ‘The King of Comedy’, ‘Angel Heart’, etc. They’re all great films, but some of them deserve a bit more love from modern audiences.

If Sigourney Weaver wins, please include Heartbreakers in the mix. It’s a super underrated movie

I know it's been about a year now, but would still love an In Memoriam for Terence Stamp though. If Robert De Niro, still gotta do Cape Fear 1991 certainly.

If you want to see a baby Clint, "Paint Your Wagon."

I wonder if Regarding Henry will make the cut, I've always heard about it as it's one of JJ Abrams' first scripts, but never got around to watching it. I always like when I can watch a movie for the first time along with Ashleigh :)

Robert DeNIro - Casino

DUSTIN HOFFMAN - all the presidents men, RAIN MAN (then you'll understand the joke in MIss Congeniality), sleepers

If you do Sigourney Weaver you should watch Heartbreakers - fun movie, i think you'd dig it.

Robert Deniro in Awakenings.

Sigourney weaver Avatar Holes

With Harrison Ford in the lead and many suggestions out there, I shall add: Cowboys and Aliens Ender’s Game What Lies Beneath

Siquorney Weaver - Baby Mama!!

Definitely Harrison Ford. I actually suggested that in this month’s unboxing. Some of his movies: Blade Runner, Witness, Regarding Henry, The Fugitive, Clear and Present Danger.

It really should have been Meg Ryan 🙃

Kathy Bates- Fried Green Tomatoes, Little Black Book, Primary Colors, Rat Race, Misery

Some actors from some really awesome movies are: Joan Allen, William Hurt, Diane Keaton, Goldie Hawn, Kevin Bacon, Robert Redford, Catherine O’Hara and, of course, Meryl Streep

Jodi Foster - The Accused, Little Man Tate, Contact, Panic Room, Nyad, Anna and the King, Silence of the Lambs, Inside Man, Flight Plan, Taxi Driver Dustin Hoffman - The Graduate, All the President’s Men, Kramer v.

Sleepers is a great movie and has both Hoffman and De Niro. Couldn't spot it when I scrolled back through your catalogue so forgive me if you have already seen and I missed it

Eddie Murphy in " MR. Church." you will laugh, and cry.

Clint Eastwood Joesy Wales

Ooooh!! Excited to see Harrison Ford in the lead!! Although not that excited for Blade Runner (nope didn't like either).. so I would say: Sabrina, Clear & Present Danger, Patriot Games, Witness and Extraordinary Measures (has someone else you love!!).. (I'd also say What Lies Beneath, but that one is really more of a Hallobeans pick) I also voted for Tom Cruise so maybe we can get into the Mission Impossible movies, but also: Jerry Maguire, War of the Worlds, Edge Of Tomorrow, American Made, Cocktail, Rain Man, Risky Business... so many you haven't seen yet! kinda bummed not to see Sandra Bullock on the list, but maybe next one!

Clint Eastwood: Absolute Power, Unforgiven, Gran Turino Harrison Ford: Sabrina(1995), Six Days and Seven Nights, The Fugitive, Regarding Henry, Extraordinary Measures Dustin Hoffman: Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium, Rain Man, Tootsie, Kramer vs Kramer

really bummed that you didn't at least include Barbra Streisand in the list - so many really good movies to choose from

Wow, didn't expect Jodie Foster to be so high!!! J.F. flicks: Little Man Tate, The Silence of the Lambs, Panic Room, Contact, Flightplan.... Deniro flicks: Midnight Run, A Bronx Tale, Intern, City by the Sea, Heat, Goodfellas

A few of my own humble suggestions: CLINT EASTWOOD A Few Dollars More - an absolute classic Pale Rider Dirty Harry JODIE FOSTER The Little Girl Who Lived Down The Lane - The first movie where she headlined and one of my personal favorites. She was only 13 years old but did an excellent job in a very dark role. I heard that Martin Sheen still gets hate mail for his role in it after 50 years! Maverick - no matter who wins this poll, you MUST watch this one at some point. Nell - great performance and an Appalachian flair. Any of her Disney movies. She was an uber popular child star and has several good ones. HARRISON FORD The Frisco Kid - two words: Gene Wilder Witness What Lies Beneath - Atmospheric and creepy. Check out the making of this one. Very interesting. Sabrina - this is a remake of an Audrey Hepburn movie, you would love either version. KATHY BATES Delores Claiborne - glad to see this movie getting some love. So underrated. Kathy Bates and Stephen King, need I say more? Waterboy - Iconic!

Harrison Ford: witness, mosquito coast, Sabrina, patriot games/clear and present danger (his 2 jack Ryan movies, the same character from hunt for red october), Sabrina, what lies beneath

Jodie Foster Maverick, contact

Dennis Hoffman - Marathon Man; Jack Nicholson - As Good As It Gets; Clint Eastwood - Outlaw Josey Wales; Robert de Nero - The Untouchables; Harrison Ford - Regarding Henry; Tom Cruise - Interview With a Vampire; Sigourney Weaver - Galaxy Quest Kathy Bates - P.S.

Ashleigh, it looks like Kathy bates will win. U have seen all her best films. So im curious to see that poll. Lol

Wow! Harrison Ford's winning! Hollywood Homicide and Firewall to name a couple of them—and you could round off the Jack Ryan trilogy with both Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger as well (as he takes over from Alec Baldwin after The Hunt for Red October).

Come on people, Sigourney has some Bangers!!!

Don't forget Christopher Walken! Most awesome actor in pretty much everything he's done.

Can you include some comedic actors next time?

Since Harrison Ford is in the lead right now: What Lies Beneath, Witness, and 42.

Robert de Nero: casino, Tom cruise: cocktail, Dustin Hoffman: papillon

Jodie Foster - Silence of the Lambs. Kathy Bates - Misery & Fried Green Tomatoes.

I chose Clint solely on the Dirty Harry franchise. All five of them are great.

Harrison Ford.... Definitely do Regarding Henry and Witness. They are HF go-to's for me.

Some great Harrison Ford movies—What Lies Beneath, The Age of Adeline and Patriot Games. Leave out the Indiana Jones movies, those should be saved for a Franchise Friday poll.

Whomever wins, you should make an effort to get their first movie in. Like the original Little Shop of Horrors for Nicholson, or Misery for Kathy Bates (You may have seen this one, you've seen a lot over the years.)

Harrison Ford "Sabrina" (remake of Audrey Hepburn classic but SO GOOD)

Bugsy Malone,a campy musical sendup of ‘30s gangster films starring Jodie Foster as the vampy showgirl Tallulah and a pre MAGA Scott Baio in the title. Warning:there’s a bit of disconnect with the songs. They’re performed on screen by the all kid cast but the vocals are done by adult singers. A choice both the director(Alan Parker) and songwriter Paul Williams regret making. Williams got an Oscar nomination for the score. Released in 1976.

Movie suggestions: Harrison Ford: Witness, Air Force One, Indiana Jones (all 5), Six Days Seven Nights, Random Hearts, Sabrina Dustin Hoffman: Hook, Meet the Fockers, Kung Fu Panda, the Graduate, Stranger Than Fiction, Finding Neverland Robert De Niro: Meet the Parents (its actually a trilogy, Meet the Parents, Meet the Fockers, and Little Fockers), Showtime, Analyze This Sigourney Weaver: Galaxy Quest, Ghostbusters, Working Girl, Avatar, Holes (you’ve done the Alien movies, so I didn’t bother suggesting them) Jack Nicholson: As Good As It Gets, Something’s Gotta Give, The Bucket List, Anger Management Jodie Foster: the original Freaky Friday (1976), Anna and the King

Regarding Harrison Ford, note that Ashleigh has already watched the Star Wars movies, Indiana Jones movies, and The Fugitive. So if he wins, she'll be excluding his most famous roles. That doesn't mean people shouldn't vote for him. Just that they should know what they're voting for. Also, Tom Cruise would exclude Top Gun, Sigourney Weaver would exclude the Alien movies, and Robert Di Niro would exclude Goodfellas. She's already watched those. I swear I have a memory of her watching both Mission Impossible and The Godfather Part 2, but I just searched for those and couldn't find them. So either my memory is faulty or YouTube took them down for some reason.

Harrison in the lead... we should do both Blade Runners. Then I dunno... Witness? Frisco Kid? Some Jack Ryan stuff?

Hmmm, well I don't want to piss on anyone's parade (pardon my French and I completely understand why "famous actor" won, and I would also have understood why the "famous director" almost won.... ) but... I did find it remarkable that both options won with a landslide compared to any of the "franchises". In other words: there are an unlimited amount of great actors out there, and a huge amount of great directors, and since no actor or director was named we can all imagine it's about our favorite one (for me its X, for you its Y, for another its Z, but we all vote for the same outcome) ... The results seemed to imply you could repeat the poll a 100 times (with an unnamed actor or director) and still the franchises wouldn't win. Don't get me wrong: I love a month with the best movies of any actor, as well as a month with the best movies of any director, as well as any franchise, I don't care and just want Ashley to watch something she likes (reactions to something the reactor likes are great, reactions to something the reactor doesn't like not as much... duh). I just think that combining the "any actor - any director" category with "any franchise" might be an unfair match. Might be better to do either "actor or director" OR "franchises" when doing a poll. And lastly another conclusion I made is that there's enough content left to watch for at least a lifetime, no worries there ;) Now who to vote for.... hmmm.... I see 7 names that all shout "yes" to me, can't decide.... I might just let the community surprise me on this one :)

For Jodie Foster: Taxi Driver (1976) - soooo young Maverick (1994) - such a fun movie Contact (1997) - you knew I was going to suggest this one ;-) Inside Man (2006) - heist movie For Harrison Ford: Blade Runner (1982) and maybe follow with Blade Runner: 2049 (2017) Witness (1985) - crime/drama/thriller Patriot Games (1992) - action/triller (he plays Jack Ryan) Clear and Present Danger (1994) - action/triller (he plays Jack Ryan)

Okay: if Harrison Ford is going to win, I guess BLADE RUNNER is going to be the first chosen... But, REGARDING HENRY is the one Ashleigh will appreciate the most. Since tragedy dramas always seem to score big with her. But, after that: FRANTIC and PRESUMED INNOCENT need to win over the 90's hack Tom Clancy adaptations. I kinda wish Sigourney Weaver was winning. I'd rather see reactions to Gorillas In the Mist and Heartbreakers over those ridiculous Tom Clancy movies. Which I have a bad feeling are going to win future polls.

Here are my choices with film suggestions in no particular order. Please don't come at me if Ashleigh has already seen any of them as I did not check beforehand. :) Kathy Bates: A Home of our Own (1993) Delores Claiborne (1995) Misery (1990) Sigourney Weaver: The Village (2004) Death and the Maiden (1994) A Map of the World (1999) Harrison Ford: What Lies Beneath (2000) Regarding Henry (1991) Witness (1985) Tom Cruise: The Last Samurai (2003) Taps (1981) Far and Away (1992)

I would love to see some comedy actors like John Candy, Gene Wilder, Tom Hanks, Robin Williams, or Steve Martin on here too. My vote this time goes to Sigourney Weaver, even though you already did the Alien movies and Galexy Quest, and Dustin Hoffman.

One movie if Ashleigh does if she does Harrison Ford is “The Frisco Kid” it has Harrison and Gene Wilder in the same movie

Dustin Hoffman Midnight Cowboy (1969) Kramer vs. Kramer (1979) All the President’s Men (1976) Marathon Man (1976) Jack Nicholson One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest (1975) Five Easy Pieces (1970) Easy Rider (1969) As Good As It Gets (1997) The Departed (2006) Clint Eastwood Dirty Harry (1971) The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976) Gran Torino (2008) Million Dollar Baby (2004) A Fistful of Dollars (1964) Robert De Niro Goodfellas (1990) The Deer Hunter (1978) Mean Streets (1973) Meet the Parents (2000) Once Upon a Time in America (1984) Jodie Foster The Accused (1988) Nell (1994) Inside Man (2006) Flightplan (2005) Little Man Tate (1991) Harrison Ford Blade Runner (1982) American Graffiti (1973) Presumed Innocent (1990) Witness (1985) The Mosquito Coast (1986) Regarding Henry (1991) Tom Cruise Legend (1985) Jerry Maguire (1996) Born on the Fourth of July (1989) Magnolia (1999) Top Gun: Maverick (2022) Collateral (2004) Sigourney Weaver Gorillas in the Mist (1988) The Ice Storm (1997) Copycat (1995) Kathy Bates Dolores Claiborne (1995) The Waterboy (1998) Unconditional Love (2002) About Schmidt (2002) Richard Jewell (2019) Jessica Lange Frances (1982) Blue Sky (1994) The Postman Always Rings Twice (1981) Country (1984) Music Box (1989)

So glad we can pick more than one. I mean, I will always choose Harrison Ford above anyone else, but at least this way I can choose more than one.

Anthony Hopkins (especially Meet Joe Black)

Tom Cruise - Mission Impossible (any except 2) - Edge of tomorrow (2014) - Collateral (2004) - Vanilla Sky (2001) - Jerry Maguire (1996) Robert Deniro -The Intern (2015) it’s a sweet chill movie Jack Nicholson - As good as it gets (1997) - The Departed (2006) - Anger Management (2003)

Went for DeNiro so you can watch Midnight Run, the 2nd greatest film ever made. You're welcome.

OK, this is a very difficult poll because there are no bad options. But Harrison Ford has been in a surprisingly wide variety of movies, which could be great for flavor, and I just expect Jack Nicholson would be really amusing to watch because... well, his acting just feels perfect for the channel.

Sigourney Weaver was in a movie with Jennifer Love Hewitt called Heartbreakers, I think you might enjoy. One of mine and my mom’s favorite movies

Siqourney Weaver - Gorillas I The Mist, A monster Calls

Harrison Ford: The Frisco Kid (with Gene Wilder) - Robert De Niro: Awakenings - Kathy Bates: Delores Claiborne, Fried Green Tomatoes (I think you may have seen this one but I am at work and can't go and check, so if so, sorry?) - Clint Eastwood: High Plains Drifter

Dustin Hoffman - Little Big Man, Wag The Dog, Hook.

Jessica Lange so we get “all that jazz” (For more Mr Bob Fosse) 😈

I think you should do an actor and actress, I'd pick Jack Nicholson and Meryl Streep... but since Meryl isn't here, Kathy or Jodie please!

Please please with Cherry on Top do Dustin Hoffman "Perfume"

On the wish list please. Jodie Foster: Bugsy Malone, Freaky Friday & Taxi Driver. Jack Nicholson: As good as it gets & One flew over the cuckoos nest.

Here are some good, lesser viewed movie suggestions: Jodie Foster - Panic Room (Thriller) or Flightplan (Thriller) Jack Nicholson - Anger Management (Comedy) or Somethings Gotta Give (Rom/Com) Harrison Ford - Six Days Seven Nights (Adventure) or What Lies Beneath (Horror)

Fun fact: My grandma went to high school with Clint Eastwood. He sat behind her in history and would tug a bit of hair to get her attention, then asked to copy her homework

It's been SOOO long since you've watched Top Gun (1986).... PLEASE, watch the sequel, Top Gun: Maverick (2022)! It is the best sequel EVER made, and it's Tom Cruise's top selling movie of his career at 1.5 BILLION!!! I promise, you will LOVE it!!!

Jodi Foster - Silence of the Lambs (At LEAST for Hallowbeans) Taxi driver would also be great for Foster and Deniro.

Love to see her watch The Marathon Man

aw man I wish Jodie Foster had more votes, I'd love for Ashleigh to watch Panic Room. Plus the original Freaky Friday could be fun too. As such, I'm putting my vote behind Sigourney Weaver just so we hopefully get to watch Holes

Tom Cruise ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 Risky Business Legend The Color of Money Cocktail Days of Thunder Far and Away Edge of Tomorrow Mission Impossible (all of them) Jerry Maguire Collateral Jack Reacher And Top Gun Maverick

if Harrison Ford wins please watch What Lies Beneath!

Burt Reynolds?

Meryl Streep :(

If chosen, Six days Seven nights with Harrison Ford is hilarious.

What happened with Chuck Norris who died earlier this year?

I picked a few, but hoping for Kathy Bates because she has some great films. Like: “Fried Green Tomatoes.”

We need Michelle Pfeiffer in this iconic list! 🔥♥️
