Hi Cassie and Carly watching top secret it is very very funny
It's pretty Wild that Recall and Troopers were randomly matched up to each other.
Mods, you should pin this to the top of the page
So far loving the Results!
Hot Fuzz FTW
Cassie asked if anyone ever got a March Madness Bracket correct? She didn't seem to think it could be that hard? Right? Well the answer is getting a full bracket right is only a 1 in Nine Quintillion chance! This is a GREAT VIDEO that explains this -https://www.youtube.com/shorts/FE3YDQnh1GE - Check it!
So you're telling me there's a chance...
To anyone upset about the fact that the patrons have no say in who wins - just relax try to have some fun with this. These are all popular movies and would be watched eventually any way. Beverly Hills Cop is #1 on the list, it's going to happen, because there just aren't enough reactions to that movie already.
Suggestion for next year's categories - merge War movies into Action/Adventure, and replace it with a SciFi/Horror category. She did say SciFi movies were spread across other categories, but I think there are more good SciFi/Horror options than War.
Hard to choose. But Tin Cup had a bad draw. The ULTIMATE Cassie/Carly movie! Kevin Costner and Renee Russo in a Sports RomCom.
I’m actually surprised that’s even on there. Tin Cup seems like it should be on her PPOM shortlist.
Can't believe I'm now rooting for North Carolina. Truth is, there are a bunch of REALLY good movies in there that I would love to see Cassie and Carly watch. Even if Underworld doesn't win anything, that would be a great one for Scary (But Not Too Scary) Popocorn in Dread Month.
Hey if we are doing a bracket pool, we’d better put up the link fairly soon. Tournament starts Thursday, right?
No need. I will volunteer to take on the responsibility of being the default winner. That leaves the question, what will I pick for my last movie- Leonard part 6 (1987) or Space Cop (2016)? I will have to think about that a bit.
Can we spin a virtual wheel of fortune someday? lol! Can you make it happen, Ben?? Or whomever her actual IT person is. I’m not sure exactly how it would be done, but it sure seems like it would be fun, fun, fun! 😀
I don't understand this bracket. Are we supposed to vote for the movie or the team?
If the team advances in the actual tournament, the movie advances too.
In case no one else mentioned this. There are several movies here that have original or remakes. I have my own opinion on which versions are better. But maybe some clarification on which ones are in the brackets?
from what i can remember, Cassie mentioned, (original Heston) Planet of the Apes, (2019 remake) Midway, I assume the Peirce Brosnan Thomas Crown Affair, (Tom Cruise remake) War of the Worlds, (Arnold Original) Total Recall, and Wonder Woman (2017). I could be wrong.
Although l I have no interest in the men's tournament this year. Because I am more interested in Caitlin Clark and the women's tournament.
"I wonder why there is very few Denzel" Because of the bajillion movies made so far, he is only in about 50 and it looks like Cassie has seen about 1/5 of those. Also,- "or minority movies in there?" They didn't get enough votes and/or random chance. Simple. That said, are you really wondering or are you hiding behind the question to make a disgusting, and unwarranted, insinuation?
This is great, but it's too sad that from all of these great movie choices, you only watch a few. Maybe after the Final 4 is concluded you will hold a Best of the Rest poll??? My picks: UConn/Mr. Holland's Opus - A great team paired with a great movie!! Auburn/An Officer and a Gentleman (Not my favorite movie, but certain to be a great reaction!) Iowa State/Rounders (Every poker player's favorite movie) It really is too bad that Tin Cup got relegated to a #15 seed SD State. On the other hand, it's a movie about an underdog, paired with an NCAA underdog, so it might be just what SD State needed!!) On the other side: St. Mary's/Who Framed Roger Rabbit (I love Dirty Rotten Scoundrels also, but too bad only one can win!) Alabama/Smokey & The Bandit Once again, very disappointed that so many GREAT movies like Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure and Coming to America are being lost to the bottom of the rankings!
Stripes is a comedy though, not a war movie
A comedy about the army... would you say Blazing Saddles is not a Western because it is funny?
Everyone calm down, eventually she will likely get to ALL of the movies, but for now this is a fun way to mix up the viewing schedule
Hello!!
I think this just proves there’s so many great movies Cassie hasn’t see yet, I think we’re going to be here a while guys 😂😂.
Not a Sports fan, so if my preferred movie wins, can I jump ship and pretend like I always supported that team? 😀
Wow, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels up against Raising Arizona...tough choice. And she hasn't seen Total Recall yet? Oh my!! I hope she watches the winner from each conference.
wow so many hard choices, love zulu, but went with a bridge to far, which was in band of brothers ie market garden
I'm not a UNC fan, but I love Hot Fuzz, so go Heels!
This is brilliant! What a great idea! I’m sorry I missed the live stream, but this will be a lot of fun!
Gettysburg gets a 16th seed TBA team?? Ridiculous
Same with Face/Off
Some of the best movies are on crap teams and visa versa. I don't know how I feel about this 😋 A lot of these need to be watched regardless.
Crap teams? They’re playing in the NCAA Tournament, they don’t get there by being a crap team.
I have absolutely no clue about US basketball teams & competitions so even less clue about the chances for any of these movies, but my hopes are for Working Girl, Monty Python, Stardust, or Scott Pilgrim to win 😁 someone let me know what my chances are 😆
Super Tough Bracket!!!! Rounders vs Tin Cup? C'mon! Two of my favorites!!!
I've got Connecticut in my pool, so let's hope we watch Mr. Holland's Opus!
I am actually a UConn grad, so, much skin in the game at the moment. 😁
I have not paid attention to the season so my predictions are up in the air. My Final Four are Auburn… An Officer and a Gentleman Arizona… Uncle Buck Kentucky… Leon Gonzaga… Tora Tora Tora The Champion being Auburn
Looks like I jinxed them 😂
So Connecticut (Mr. Holland's Opus) - that's a really sick draw because I think they're the favorite to win it all and that would be my pick from all the movies. Iowa State (Rounders) also a good pick, another team with a chance to win and a great movie riding with them.
Go UConn! I don't think there's a more heart-warming contender in this movie poll (it's a Cassie-classic for sure).
This was great, Cassie. You are so funny, even when you aren't aware of it.
Well... THAT was FUN!!!
Next year use a random number generator to pick from the entire popcorn request list. That would actually be interesting and fun.
Just for fun I found a random number generator (google random number generator and one comes up - simple) which I set for 1 to 6062 - 6062 is the number of movies/series with one or more requests, as I write this . I did five tries and matched the number to movie on the list (I would redrawn a number if I had hit a series). and the results were; 2242 - Ray 3345 - Wynonna Earp 1505 - Sound of Freedom 2312 - Allied 5779 - Citizen Ruth Now even though I don't care about a single one of these movies the results just made me want to see it happen that much more, although I probably just made a case against it with the powers that be. So I did 10 more, just numbers and got the following - 4, 2779, 4171, 5682, 3498, 233, 3349, 4448. 1640, and 2901 - so lower numbers (and thus more popular films) would get in if I did all 68 for the teams in March Madness.
My two cents: Cassie should watch each region winner, instead of just the national champion. Or at least the two finalists. Gives more movies a decent chance. Apologies if I missed her saying that’s already the plan.
Blazing Saddles is an all time classic. You need to read about it so you understand its use of bad language. Mel Brooks said that the best way to get over bad ideas is to make them the butt of your jokes. So he makes utter fools of the people that have horrible ideas. Also. Hate that "Some Like it Hot" has no chance. A great slapstick comedy with Marilyn Monroe.
