So down to the last 16, really disappointed The Last Starfighter & Flight of the Navigator have both dropped out. I think I need to start a campaign for Cassie to have a 80s Sci-Fi weekend 😂. So she can watch both these films and maybe Innerspace, Enemy Mine, Escape from NY, Time Bandits or Batteries not included. But regards to the movie’s that are left these are the ones I’d like to see win. 1/ Army of Darkness 2/ King Kong 3/ Cape Fear (as long as it’s the remake with De Niro) 4/ A Bronx Tale 5/ Dirty Rotten Scoundrels 6/ Pitch Black 7/ Godzilla Yes I know Army of Darkness is the 3rd movie in the series, but I actually saw this one first and was fine. Because I don’t think you really need to watch the 1st two to know what’s going on in this film. I’m not sure if Cassie will like it or not but I personally think she should watch it at some point.
Yeah that’s fine buddy, regarding Cape Fear I actually watch the remake before the original. So that might be one of the reasons why liked the remake more. But it could also be because it was done in the 60s as I thought it was quite tame compared to the one in the 90s. Also think Scorsese is Sutter Island I really just couldn’t get on with it. I’ve also tried a few times to watch Blazing Saddles and I just don’t find it funny, but the only Mel Brooks film I really like is SpaceBalls. So it’s probably because I’m not a fan of this humour. But I’d definitely be happy to watch Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, as it has got to be well over 25 years since I’ve seen it and I’d definitely love to give it a rewatch after such a long time.
From the movies left now my ideal final 4 would be Blazing Saddles vs The Maltese Falcon and Invasion of the Body Snatchers vs Godzilla or Kong.
I want Invasion 78 and Pitch Black....but one must now fall. 😰
A Classic full length Laurel and Hardy film, the Bohemian Girl is based on the opera by Michael W. Balfe. Stan and Ollie play gypsies in Europe as it was centuries ago, earning their living by an ingenious means of picking pockets. When Mrs Hardy disappears with her lover , they become guardians to a small girl who is really the daughter of an aristocrat. The Bohemian girl was the last L&H film to feature Thelma Todd, who had worked with the team since their first talkie in 1929. This compilation includes one of her starring short comedies of ZaSu Pitts , on the loose to which Laurel and Hardy made a guest appearance. Also included is Thats my Wife , a classic silent L & H film, that at one stage was going to be reworked as part of The Bohemian Girl , plus the earlier Hardy solo film that inspired its plot, Along Came Auntie.
LOL; Thanks for making March Madness Fun.
UNM’s movie is “Tootsie”….Oh how the fates mock us!
One of the weird by-products of using the tournament to pick movie reactions is that I find myself cheering for teams I’d otherwise never root for - in this case, Kentucky (Invasion of the Body Snatchers) and Michigan St. (Army of Darkness).
So far, of the movies I care about the most, Blazing Saddles, Kong (05), Maltese Falcon, and Pitch Black have moved on to the next round. This is going to be a fun Movie Madness this year.
If two (even one) of the movies I want makes it to the final 4, I'll take that as a win. Last year, "War of the Worlds" (2005) made it to final 4, and that was a good reaction from the sisters.
Mars attacks and who framed Roger rabbit are the absolute best and need to win somehow ❤️
Contrary to my avatar, +1 for Roger Rabbit (Creighton)!
I'm a Duke fan, but if they IF they lose, I hope Auburn wins because Cassie you are not ready for Blazing Saddles! The comedy is too much for you. I will leave it at that.
And Pitch black on the list is gonna be a fun watch.
I'm sorry but she needs to see Evil Dead 1-2 from the 80s to understand the Army of darkness plotline
I disagree. I saw Army of Darkness first and absolutely loved it. It gives a brief recap as to what is happening at the beginning of the movie. I've since seen the other ones, and they're definitely worth watching, of course, but you don't need to see the first two to get the third one.
Wow, who the hell PUT ARMY OF DARKNESS AKA EVIL DEAD 3 on the list first?? She might get lost watching it unless she needs to start with the 1st Evil Dead of the 80s plus Evil Dead 2.
Films are on the list by number of votes and unfortunately more people voted for Army of Darkness than either Evil Dead movie.
Probably best this was the men's tourney vs the women's, otherwise whatever movie got South Carolina would be a lock ;)
Also....I've just had a quick check, and since I became a member on Patreon, Cassie has watched one of the movies on my list in every 4 reactions she's done. And that number goes to 1 in 3 if you add Star Trek, which wasn't on my list but I'm a huge fan of. I'm never complaining again (although I hope everyone will have the grace to never quote me on that.) I sympathise with her fear that once she's watched our favourite films we might leave her. At the rate she's going through my list (208 films left), I'll be out of here by June 2026.
I appreciate the day and a half this humbled contentment will last. And I patiently await the next poll idea with already determined entries.
Real interesting selections. There are 18 on my list and another 18 I'd be intrigued to watch. Thanks Cassie!
It sucks that many of the ones that I’ve been eagerly awaiting Cassie to watch will inevitably lose in the tournament.
I gotta say, Cassie has been very creative on her patreon lately. I don't remember Cassie being so innovative with this sort of thing in previous years
She did this last year!
Go Auburn, Go Yale, Go Ole Miss, Go New Mexico, Go Bryant, Go Saint Mary's, Go Wisconsin, Go BYU, Go Arizona, Go Miss St., Go Ammerican/Mt. St. Mary's
Fun idea. I thought the whole thing was Comedy and Action at first, and didn't see the bottom brackets. Good mix now that I saw all the entries. Not sure what my personal Final Four would be. Kind of glad to just let the tournament do its thing.
If the Final Four are on my list of favorites, I’d be ecstatic! At this point, it’s totally possible.
I’m not a huge fan of college basketball…I really only root for Penn State because that’s where my daughter goes, and they’re not in the tournament. So I’m voting for my favorite movies in each division. Ole Miss/Dirty Rotten Scoundrels Kansas/Awakenings (I’d actually also be very happy with Arkansas/A Bronx Tale here) BYU/King Kong UCLA/War Games Let the games begin!
I only care about the teams that are attached to the movies I like. The rest of the teams I hope all lose in the first round.
She just needs to stop all this madness, see what I did there, and watch Beverly Hills Cop
😆
Off topic: It appears that the Utah Hockey Club is all but certain that they have selected a new name…. The Utah Mammoth https://youtu.be/w0-gY8memy0?si=aKfadwDzrDLY5Rlz
It’s not 100% certain it will be Mammoth, but signs are pointing towards that name. Beats me why it isn’t plural. 🤷🏻♂️
I thought my computer was broken or something when I started this video and there was no sound
Go Ole Miss, St. John's or Duke!
Seeing Beverly Hills Cop get assigned to Bryant makes me sad.
Ok who’s the crazy person in the chat that said Dredd from 2012 was a poor remake of the terrible Stallone movie from the 90s. I know we all like different movies but that option is wild lol. But regards some of the films that were picked, there’s loads I’d love to see win. Here just a few of the ones I’d be happy with. Dirty Rotten Scoundrels US Marshals Short Circuit, not seen in about 25 years. Donnie Brasco Mars Attacks Army of Darkness Jack Recher Kelly’s Heroes Pacific Rim King Kong Red Ronin War Games But I’m so happy two of my favourite Sci-fi movies got picked in Flight of the Navigator and The Last Star Fighter.
That Dredd comment made me laugh - because the Stallone version is a joke. The 2012 version is much better and much closer to the original comic (they still didn’t get it quite right, but close enough for me).
Let's go Duke!! My favorite team representing one of my favorite movies!!
Last year there were only a couple of movies I cared about, and they didn’t get to the top This year - Blazing Saddles Army of Darkness Dredd Godzilla (14) King Kong (05) Pacific Rim Watchmen Joker The Maltese Falcon Fallen Kelly’s Heroes Invasion of the Body Snatchers (78) Pitch Black - there’s a good chance something I like will make to the top 4 at least ( I seem to remember Cassie watching the top 4, but I could be wrong as I wasn’t really paying close attention last year).
I can't imagine Cassie enjoying Joker. And I think Carly would dislike it even more.
Sorry Bill the Goat; Let’s go Big Blue.
The Goat's name was Earl, not Bill- Earl "The Goat" Manigault. (jk) Rebound (1996) is a good movie about him.
McNeese and McNephew...Once again Cassie you're proving to be a silly person.
Women's bracket!
Anything to get more random movies watched.
Dang it!! I’m itching to hit that play button, but I’m still at work. I’ll definitely be watching it later tonight. Can’t wait to see the match ups!
Lots of great movies. But I have to pull for my Alma Mater UCONN.
This is fun. My top preferred in the bracket: --"Lost in Translation" (2003) (big time pulling for Memphis) --"Donnie Brasco" (J Depp, Pacino) (a fav of mine but a 15th seed) --"The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" (2011) (but a 13th seed) Also like: --"12 Monkeys" (Purdue -- a 4th seed) --"American History X" (but a 13th seed) --"48 Hrs." (1982) (glad a No. 3 seed) (prefer over Beverly Hills Cop) --"Gattaca" (a No. 1 seed)
Lost in Translation is definitely my #1 choice.
Fun fact about Army of Darkness: the director, Sam Raimi, attended Michigan State, which this movie covers. Coincidence? Go figure! 😂
I don't live that far from MSU. Definitely rooting for MSU and U of M, Plus Sam Raimi is a great director and writer with a bunch of different credits.
Of course, the movie I want Cassie to watch is paired with the team I dislike the most. Awakenings/Kansas
It won't matter....Kansas isn't making it far
You have got Jean Reno up against Jean Reno in The Professionel vs Ronin 😁
My alma mater Texas A&M (a 4th seed) got The Birdcage (1996), which is hilarious. Has Robin Williams and Gene Hackman. A fond memory I have of Texas A&M vs BYU = 1990 Holiday Bowl featuring BYU's QB Heisman Trophy winner Ty Detmer (from the state of Texas but he snubbed Texas college teams to go to BYU). Before the game, BYU players/fans complained that a team better than A&M should have been invited to the Holiday Bowl = that the A&M football team was so beneath the BYU football team. Outcome of the game = A&M won 65-14. Texas A&M (8-3-1) beat BYU (10-2) 65-14. A&M dislocated both of Detmer's shoulders (two separate hits).
I remember that game.
Any chance that movie selections could be paired one month with political candidates? (🤣🤣🤣🤪🤣🤣🤣🤪🤪🤪 Kidding, of course. But what a concept....)
Its an interesting idea but not practical because politics doesn't have head to head contests except for the general election.
64 chances and I found 5 that interest me. LOL not good odds 😆🤣
So there is still no chance for a Beverly Hills Cop reaction on the near time horizon?
Is Cape Fear the 1991 version? If it is, that’s what I’m pulling for! Should be a fun reaction!
Yes, 1991
Normally I hate rabbits, but....c'mon Creighton!
This is a lot of fun. Loved last year's winner Mr. Holland's Amadeus. Thanks for all you do! 🍿🛏🧝♀️🎥👏🫶🏆
Did she watch the whole Final Four last year?
Ohhh very interesting 🧐
the War/Thriller entries are very strong.
Some great options at some higher ranked teams. Looking forward to this.
I was happy we got some sci-fi and a couple of horror films even, Lol.
Pulling for Colorado St so hard
Blazing Saddles, Gattaca, Cape Fear and Leon are all the favorites, so there is a pretty good chance one of them will take it, but perhaps not.
Blazing Saddles / Fast Times at Ridgemont High ... two hilarious classics that should be watched on their own.
Some of the match-ups are a win either way. Kong 05 vs Pacific Rim is another one of those ( for me anyway ).
Girl with the Dragon Tatoo. "I forgot to ask you, you like a*** s**?" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Let's Go!!!
