Good job. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Take care
For 2001 have the best sound system and a huge curved screen,Kubrick originally shot in Cinerama format...during the intermission if you want to duck out and get elevated 1968 style,no one is to judge! :)
You and your sister loved Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings. You will absolutely love his version of King Kong as well !!!
Well I'll save the 2001 viewing for a night I can't fall asleep . Better than a sleeping pill.
Peter Jackson King Kong!
Psyched that 2001 won it!
Me too.
You HAVE TO watch Andor… please.
Andor is awesome.
While 2001 is the obvious best choice, I'm sad that the tight little sci-fi whodunnit Andromeda Strain has such a poor showing. Perhaps someone should construct a poll of movies derived from Michael Crichton novels, there are about 2 dozen or more!
"Time Line" it is. I like Jackson's "King Kong" but it takes much too long to get to Skull Island. That being said it has a lot to recommend it.
Ok cool glad to know she's going to watch 2001. Last time I checked King Kong was winning. Which of course isn't a bad movie but not a stone cold classic like 2001.
Fortunately, she was already planning to watch Jackson's KING KONG, so I'm sure she'll get to that at some point. 2001 was less of a guarantee.
2001 A Space Odyssey, great film Stanley Kubrick. I thought she would like King Kong better. However I just learned that Sharon Tate and Roman Polanski went to the premiere of 2001 A Space Odyssey. Which totally changed my mind. https://www.instagram.com/p/DQFKhbNAeBn/?igsh=Z3YzZWtnOHJneGlk
2001 ? Fine by me.
I am excited to see Cassie’s reaction to 2001!
Me too. Have been for a while.
And at this point it looks like it's in the bag. Very excited for a 2001 reaction. Now we just need to persuade her to watch it in the theater space. I do hope, though, that she also reacts to Jackson's KING KONG at some point (along with the '76 film and KONG: SKULL ISLAND).
She should watch the entire Monsterverse in order.
It won best picture Oscar for 1968 and is still considered a landmark film. It was 40 or 50 yrs. ahead of it's time.
I didn't know it won best picture.
This is far and away the best of this group.
2001 A Space Odyssey and King Kong
2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) is No. 15 on the American Film Institute (AFI) Top 100 Movies all time. I think she would like King Kong (2005). Hopefully, she will eventually react to Coherence (2013) one of these years. Coherence is ranked No. 2120 (w/4 requests) at Popcorn Requests.
People usually vote for what they've seen. So the big name likes King Kong and 2001 Space Odyssey will probably win... Both are good but personally I would like Clash of the Titans to win, loved that movie as a kid. Gives a good example of what special affects were like back then.
People who watched Clash as a kid really seem to love it -- nostalgia strong. Plus, does have the cool effects that were groundbreaking.
I hope 2005's King Kong wins.
Although a good movie, I really think 2001 is way overrated. People too easily dub this film a "masterpiece". I don't think 2001 qualifies.
Well, I'm one of those who calls it a masterpiece, but I didn't come by that easily. I watched it on and off for decades and also thought it was overrated. I found things in it to admire certainly, but didn't really love it... until I saw it on the big screen when it was released for its 50th anniversary in 2019 and was positively blown away by it. That was an extraordinary experience. It really was like seeing the film for the first time. I finally "got it" and fell in love with it. It is indeed a masterpiece. One of the greatest films ever made.
“The Andromeda Strain” was Michael Crichton’s first novel (under his own name) written when he was 27. As this film adaptation was just 2 years later I have to believe that it was his first film adaptation of his work. I saw it as a kid and remember it being the first time that I realized that movies could be serious and not full of movie star looking people and important and compelling. I was hooked… I’ve been “Cine-Binging” ever since!
2001 is a MUST for anyone starting to take film seriously: "The most expensive personal Art Film ever made." It took me 2-4 viewings before the theme revealed itself (might've helped if I wasn't so stoned the first few times, but hey... it was the 1960's & it's on the big screen!) Seriously, it set the model for ALL sci-fi film visuals that have followed.
Agreed. Like CITIZEN KANE, it's a cinephile rite of passage.
She’s gonna hate 2001 but she’s gotta watch it anyway.
I don’t think she will hate it; I think she will be intrigued by it.
Personally I’d love King Kong to win or even Clash of the Titans but 2001 a film I appreciate more than I actually like it. As the effect are incredible and it’s beautifully shot. But I just think pacing is too slow and the storyline is a little boring, it also I bit like the first Star Trek movie has it has a few long scenes that dragged on and lacked substance. But it’s just my opinion and I’d also suggest people watch it regardless to make up their own mind. But if anything it’s worth watching on the big screen just for the stunning visuals.
I sympathize because I once felt the same way. I found much in 2001 to admire, but not quite enough to love it... and then I saw it on an IMAX screen when it was released for its 50th anniversary and it was truly like seeing it for the first time. It was an extraordinary experience. I finally "got it" and fell in love with it. Now it's one of my favorite movies. I have also likened it to the first STAR TREK movie (a film I actually really like... and apparently Cassie did too).
Warm early 1980s nostalgia for "Clash of the Titans" (1981) swayed my vote, as would be the case for any Ray Harryhausen entry
Going back and forth between Kong and 2001, since they’re the only real choices left ( I would have voted for Andromeda Strain if it had a chance). On the one hand 2001 has the gravitas of a film you should see at least once. But it’s not exactly an engaging film and doesn’t make for great reactions from what I’ve seen. On the other hand King Kong is a much ‘warmer’ film and I enjoy it more than 2001 on an emotional level. But Cassie seems to want to watch it anyway so it’s likely to get watched at some point. Still, 2001 is in the top 50 on Popcorn Requests so it will likely be watched sometime too. And both film’s are over-long and could use a little editing. Going with Kong for now, but I might change my mind before the poll ends.
I really think she will watch both.
King Kong, Peter Jacksons last good movie.
I'm just wondering if he's ever going to make a non-documentary film again at this point. 🤔
King Kong - because Cassie would like it the most
I voted for KK. 2001 is a little overrated.
2001 is not a good film and really needs a good editor to tighten the all the unnecessary long, pretentious shots. It's slow and meanders. I don't care about technological advances or film history. We're talking about telling a good story. 🤭
I'm definitely thinking of a 25 minute segment that will probably be cut to three minutes, tops.
I wish they hadn't cast Jack Black in King Kong. But it's still a great movie.
Kind of agree. The acting itself was fine, but his persona didn't feel quite right for it.
I have to go with "Clash" on this one.
Too many don't like Jack Black in King Kong. Below is my prediction 3 weeks ago: "All 5 good movies. My wild guess of the poll results (if Cassie has a poll): 1. 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) 2. King Kong (2005) 3. Clash of the Titans (1981) (could win) 4. Coherence (2013) (get votes from younger patrons) 5. The Andromeda Strain (1971) (appreciated by some older patrons)" "You would think King Kong (2005) would win a poll of the 5, but there are a decent chunk of patrons negative on KK (2005) I think. There is also a lot of nostalgia among middle-aged to older patrons for Clash of the Titans (1981). Think about how well that Willow did in poll. I am making a wild ass guess that 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) is a pre-1970 movie that could be a rare win in a mixed time poll --- but I could be wrong b/c may be too old, too obscure to some, and too slow/boring to some."
People don't know Coherence because it flew under the radar. I watched it a short while ago and it surprised me. Very good film.
Wow! Clash of the Titans! Haven't seen this in years. So fun! It won't win but I'm gonna give it a vote just to put it out there. Fingers crossed for 2001 in the battle against Kong
How about yes to all of them and we are just picking the order?🤷♂️
Fine with me.
Fantastic choices.
2001! Required viewing for any film lover.
Yup. Same with CITIZEN KANE.
Well clearly 2001 is the one that must be ticked of Cassie’s film watching journey. Sorry to see Andromeda Strain so low down, absolutely top film sadly underrated.
total agreement about both classics Ria
It's King Kong for me. So, if you want 2001: A Space Odyssey to win, don't worry; I always come second.
2001 is necessary viewing experience.
Indeed.
Oh please Cassie, not a space Odyssey , like Citizen Kane it has become the Emperor's new clothes of movies .everybody says it's great -so everybody says it's great- because everybody says it's great- if I have to sit through that overrated classic I'm gonna lose it King Kong or clash of the Titans is your love both
Or maybe -- and just hear me out on this -- maybe there are a lot of us who are not just saying it's great because everybody else says it's great, but we actually do genuinely love 2001 and think it's great because we know a lot about cinema -- its history, its language, its influence -- and can appreciate it in a way that maybe the average moviegoer who's just looking for something short, fast, straightforward and accessible has difficulty with. Same with CITIZEN KANE. I've been a film buff for most of my life and even I struggled with 2001 for many years, finding more in it to merely admire than to truly love... until I saw it on the big screen for the first time 6 years ago when it was re-released for its 50th anniversary. By then I had grown quite a bit as a cinephile and seeing it in IMAX drove home to me what a masterpiece it really is. It was an extraordinary experience. I finally "got" the movie and consequently I fell in love with it. It is now one of my all-time favorite films and (also like CITIZEN KANE, which is another favorite of mine and one of the five films I submitted as my pics when I won trivia night) a solid contender for the honor of "greatest movie ever made." I have noticed before that "The Emperor's New Clothes," while absolutely a great story, has been sometimes used by people as a justification to just be contrarian to the general consensus. On occasion, the emperor truly is wearing splendid robes and there are people in the crowd who simply can't "see" it because they have different ideas about what beautiful robes look like. In their eyes, it is probably ugly because they prefer something plain, simple and practical, so the grand, gorgeous and ornate patterns and style of the Emperor's clothes just looks ugly to them. That's just the subjectivity of art at work.
Audrey Hepburn playing a blind woman in... Wait Until Dark. Good movie.
Excellent movie.
2001 and Andromeda Strain.
Cassie, if 2001: A space Odyssey is chosen...please bring a serious dose of caffeine. Actually the same can be said for Andromeda Strain - but the director/author of Andromeda Strain (Michael Crichton) has a lot of movies (that have been adapted from his novels) - some good, some not so good...Jurassic Park, The Great Train Robbery, Twister.
Oh that’s easy!!! 2001
Go, 2001, go!!
I hope that whenever Kong arrives it can be paired with the 1976 King Kong as well, and maybe the newer Kong: Skull Island for a Kong week. I like all of them for various reasons (although my memories of the Jackson one on this poll are the faintest -- it's probably been almost 20 years).
I support this too. I'm all for a reaction to Jackson's movie, but the 1976 version was the one I grew up with, so I'd love to see Cassie watch it as well as the more recent KONG SKULL ISLAND, which I enjoyed.
Coherence (2013) is a good movie. Clash of the Titans (1981) God help anyone watching Clash of the Titans (1981) w/o nostalgia. “A goofy old-school sword-and-sandal epic.” The archaic stop-motion animation techniques are not enough. 2001 or KK? I voted 2001 (No. 15 on AFI Top 100 Movies all time) b/c everyone should watch 2001 at least once, but think Cassie would like King Kong (2005) better. King Kong (2005) “Featuring state-of-the-art special effects, terrific performances, and a majestic sense of spectacle, Peter Jackson's remake of King Kong is a potent epic that's faithful to the spirit of the 1933 original.” Kubrick Stanley Kubrick who directed 2001 is a great director. My son is a huge Kubrik fan and recently persuaded me to watch "Paths of Glory" (1957) (which I thought awesome) and "Eyes Wide Shut" (1999) (w/Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman) (which I thought more creepy than sensual). My son also promotes "Barry Lyndon" (1975), which I have added to my watchlist.
Clay, you forgot to mention that “Clash of the Titans” has a Rotten Tomatoes audience score of 71 and that the quote goes on to call the effects work charming and the overall review is positive. Ray Harryhausen is a legend for good reason and this film shows his ground breaking effects work to good effect. Much better than the computer cartoons that today’s audiences seem obsessed with.
I wanna vote for 2001 for amazing filmmaking, but I also wanna vote for King Kong for an emotional reaction. Decisions decisions.
If it helps, she was already planning to watch KING KONG at some point, so voting for 2001 could be a way to get a reaction to both movies.
2001 is a difficult film, but an amazing one!
Yup.
And 2001 pulls ahead! Will Cassie get to see one of the single greatest match cuts in cinema history after all?
I sure hope so!!
Happy to see “2001: A Space Odyssey” take a slight lead over “King Kong.” KK is fine, but 2001 is regarded as a classic for good reason. The book that Arthur C. Clarke was commissioned to write to accompany the film is also superb (as is “Rendezvous with Rama”, which I’m still hoping gets made into a movie - last I heard, Morgan Freeman had the rights, which I consider good news). Science fiction is one of the best genres for exploring any number of themes, which this film accomplishes nicely (what does it mean to be human, what is our purpose/role in the universe, where are we headed as a species, etc).
Yes, science fiction is one of the more existential genres and 2001 one of the most existential sci-fi films.
You're pretty much the only major reactor I'm aware of who still hasn't seen "2001," which also happens to be one of my all-time favorite films. It's time to remedy that.
It's past time.
2001 Space Odyssey is a classic and must watch. Kong is long boring and in some scenes cringe inducing god-awful. Any of the others would be better.
Honestly, I prefer Jackson's version of "King Kong" over the original. At least the titular character doesn't come off as a stalker in that one. 🤐
I've seen 4 of these movies (haven't heard of Coherence). Some good choices, but 2001 is must see. Even if it's not your style. I remember walking out of the theater and saying to my date, "What was that about?" I still don't know.
I'm sure there will be much discussion in the comments about what it means after the reaction. I've seen it literally dozens of times and I think I have a pretty good handle on what's going on in it if you want some help after Cassie watches it.
I think I heard her say she was planning on watching Kong before - it is a beautifully made movie (It is a Peter Jackson movie...). Voting for 2001, but am worried about the pacing of the movie for her. Even so, is a movie everyone should see at least once.
Had to go with the perennial classic that is 2001. But was watching the making of King Kong the other day, and there was quite a bit of artistry involved. Lots of miniature sets mixed with live action and CGI. One of the miniatures is still on the backlot at Universal Hollywood. On the tram tour. Beautiful-looking movie.
Jackson's KING KONG is good, but 2001 is essential. Fortunately, she was already planning on watching KONG, so we should end up getting both.
"The Andromeda Strain" and "Coherence", which are good movies, do not appear to have a chance to win. Why not move your vote to "2001: A Space Odyssey"?
Way ahead of you.
I dont know if this has come up or if it'd even be an issue but someone should make sure that if she does watch King Kong 2005 it's the theatrical version and not the extended. It doesnt do anything but make a long movie longer and this is coming from someone who loves the movie.
I've never seen the extended edition, but I can't imagine that movie being any longer.
Clash of the Titans!!!
Andromeda strain I think is a bit dated and the subject matter has been bettered by newer films. Clash of the titans is a great movie but I haven't seen it in ages so might be a bit dated. Kong is boring. No matter how many times they remake it. Mighty Joe young or Congo I think would have been more entertaining. 2001 I have seen but forgot the story so probably didn't make a great impact as it should have.
Good morning, Dave.
Kong.....is there anyone who does not know the story and how it ends? YAWN.......... Give her something fresh and unknown. Any of the others in the poll.
Vote 2001! That will certainly be a new kind of experience for her.
It’s depressing to me that I might be watching 2001 again. I really dislike that movie, but I will watch it with Cassie, if I have to. I’m voting for Kong.
It's depressing to me that there are people who want to prevent Cassie from watching one of the greatest, most important, most awe-inspiring and most influential science fiction films ever made. She was already planning to watch KONG. Why not let her experience 2001? If you personally don't want to see it again, you certainly don't have to (I don't watch every reaction myself), but she should at least have the opportunity to do so.
Coherence is phenomenal movie. Small indie budget but just fantastically clever. It had no chance on this poll.
No love for Coherence. Too bad.
2001 is my all time favorite movie. But I voted for King Kong because I think Cassie would enjoy it more and it’s a better fit for Halloween season.
But she already said she was planning to watch Jackson's KING KONG at some point, so why don't we take this opportunity to get two movies from this list reacted to. 2001 may never come back around again.
It's strange, but less than 50% of paying patrons ever vote on any polls. Total votes will probably be in the 1200 to 1500 range. If I'm paying, I'm voting!
This one is open to non-paying members
"2001: A Space Odyssey" filming began almost 60 years ago, 3 1/2 years before the first moon landing. It is a masterpiece in both concept and execution. It is a cinematic ballet between the visuals and the score. The cherry on top is the mind-bending journey that is still being discussed, pondered and dissected today. Filming dates...........Visual effects that still amaze audiences today. Dec 29, 1965 - Jul 7, 1966 Aug 2, 1967 - Oct 9, 1967 Production dates January 28, 1965 - March 10, 1968 Budget $12,000,000 (estimated).........How is that possible!!!!! The total footage shot was some 200 times the final length of the film.
If 2001 wins I hope she also watches "2010:The Year We Make Contact" a much better sequel than its reputation.
I hope King Kong wins. It's a great movie and it will be a great reaction.
If 2001 Wins, that has to be a Theatre (home or rent) reaction. The most sound system and the most screen available are the only way to go.
This was my suggestion as well.
Cassie will probably enjoy King Kong more, but 2001 is required movie watching for anyone who watches movies.
Yes!
Definitely an interesting mix. 2005 King Kong is an incredibly under-rated movie experience imo.
Just maybe 2001 can finally get a reaction.
From your mouth to God's ears.
Hear me, vain and foolish mortal woman, Clash of the Titans is a winner.
Coherence is an amazing little sci fi flick that deserves so much more love than it's getting here. So much more. Clash of the Titans is a fantasy classic from my childhood and I adore it. That said, there's no way anything should be beating 2001. Especially not Jackson's Kong. I love Jackson. Love him. I actually really like his Kong, but 2001 is an absolute cinematic masterpiece that should be seen at least once by everyone.
Darn. Wish Andromeda Strain was doing better. I think she would enjoy the way it blended medicine, sci-fi, thriller, and humanity, in a tidy package.
Creighton is an unbelievable writer, but I didn't find the 1971 film particularly good, even by the standards of the era, and now it just feels... stressful and sterile. My opinion, of course.
The only reason Coherence is losing is because no one seen it. But if the best one out of all of them.
This channel was the only place I'd heard of it. Think her brother got it on a poll last year.
2001 HAS to win. Greatest movie ever made
Certainly a strong contender for that title, but sadly a lot of people don't care.
I prefer the 1976 remake of King Kong, to Peter Jackson’s. My pick was THE ANDROMEDA STRAIN as it’s a great movie and an excellent novel.
I had the poster of King Kong on my bedroom wall as a kid. Still enjoy watching but realize it is due to nostalgia.
Coherence is a fabulous film that no one has ever seen. Sad that it really can't win.
King Kong ain't got 💩 on me 🤔🤫🤭
Stanley Kubrick for the win!!
Had to vote for KING KONG. One part of me hopes that one day she will be strong enough to watch Academy Award winning LORD OF THE RINGS director Sir Peter Jackson's BRAINDEAD/DEAD ALIVE, but despite its goofy tone and the fact that she survived THE FLY, I don't count on it within the next 10-15 years.
Yeah, love that movie, hilarious. But I don’t think Cassie would find it funny unfortunately.
Coherence is the best movies on this list by a mile
I'd never even heard of it before today, but now that I've checked it out no IMDB, I'm adding it to my list to watch. It sounds awesome
Kong is my pic. It’s a great remake. I have always loved Clash of the Titans.
We need to introduce Cassie to Ray Harryhausen. Then we can get into some Lou Ferrigno Hercules and the Sinbad flicks later.
I would love to introduce Cassie to Harryhausen at some point, but not with CLASH OF THE TITANS. I think JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS should be her first.
Of coarse King Kong is winning. Might be the only movie on this list I’d skip.
I like Jackson's KING KONG (even if it is a bit bloated, overlong and self-important) and would certainly watch the reaction if it wins, but she was already planning to view it at some point, so I'm voting for 2001. I've been helping for a reaction to that masterpiece for a long time.
2001: A Space Odyssey trailing behind the King Kong remake has me so sad tbh. Please watch 2001! It's a masterpiece of filmmaking and an absolute must-watch for anyone who loves film.
Definitely the remake of King Kong (the 2005 one, not the 1976 one) with the Andromeda Strain a close second. I saw 2001 when it came out and didn't care for it. If I was going for Harryhausen, it would probably be Jason and the Argonauts not Clash of the Titans perhaps because I saw the former as a kid and the latter as an adult. That's just me. Your mileage may vary.
2001: A Space Odyssey is a movie everyone should see at least once in their life. But it was a hard call for me, because The Andromeda Strain & Clash of the Titans (1981) are also personal favorites of mine, because Clash of the Titans was one of special effects master Ray Harryhausen's finest works (and his last; he retired after completion of the movie) and Andromeda Strain was a well-written movie about a threat to mankind that was actually unheard of at the time: a space-born virus with no known cure.
I think 2001 is essential viewing for any self-respecting film buff and every successful reaction channel.
King Kong, let’s goooo!!!!!!
I just realized that whichever one wins (KING KONG or 2001), she's going to be seeing more apes.
from chimpan-A to chimpan-Z
2001 is one of the greatest movies of all time
That unfortunately means very little to most of this group.
Well my first choice would have been Andromeda Strain but after looking at it's chances I voted King Kong just to keep it ahead of snore fest 2001.
Very underrated movie.
We need to have a talk, Harrison.
I’ve always been a huge film buff and I have never like Kubrick’s films. I’ve watched almost everything he’s made and I have disliked all of it. I guess that’s to say I am not voting for 2001 :) Not that anybody cares :)
I like several of his films, but I think he’s overrated, like a lot critic’s favorites directors (Scorsese, Coppola,etc). Not saying they don’t make good films, but not EVERYTHING they do is great. They’re not the be all and end all of filmmaking.
I would feel a little sad knowing that Cassie would be seeing 2001 for the first time, but on a “small screen”. And the Andromeda Strain is such a good “slow burn” movie……
That's why I recommended In my comment that she experience it in the theater space like she did with CLOSE ENCOUNTERS and TRON LEGACY.
2001 is one the 3 worst movies i have ever seen, i really do not hope it wins. A Clockworks Orange is another horrible movie from Stanley Kubrick. Out of these choices my vote goes to King Kong.
I knew there was a reason I never could get through 2001 and never wanted to start clockwork. I def need to change my vote to kong.
This is a no brainer for me. PeterJackson’s King Kong 100%. A lovingly made remake of an all time classic, with some phenomenal motion capture work once again by the King Kong of motion capture, Andy Serkis.
Know it won't win but Andromeda is a very good movie. Just as good as the book which is written in a way you almost believe everything is real and not just fiction. Michael Crichton is an amazing writer
I’d be more annoyed if it were Jason and the Argonauts or 7th Voyage of Sinbad losing the poll. Clash of the Titans is not the best example of Ray Harryhausen’s stop-motion genius work.
It’s not Richard, you are correct. However, I do feel it would be the perfect introduction for Cassie to these kind of movies. Spoilers Cassie……………………… It’s got the love story, the clean cut hero type that Cassie likes, saving his girl from the monsters and a happy Cassie ending. I think it would then encourage Cassie to watch more Harryhausen movies. I am biased however!!!
MORE ape movies?? 🙄
I just realized that whichever one wins (KING KONG or 2001), she's going to be seeing more apes.
Clash of the Titans is a great adventure, with amazing practical effects. If i had to pick a runner up, it would be 2001.
GO 2001!
GO! GO! GO!
If 2001 wins, it has to be the theatre room, the experience deserves it
I agree.
Coherence is the best here, if you're after something off the wall. KK is OK, 2001 OH malarkey.
Agree 2001 has some nice visuals, but yawwwwn.
Figured it would come down to 2001 vs King Kong. The rest don’t stand a chance. But that might be what Harrison wants. If you really want one or two films to win you could submit 3 other films that you like but don’t really have much chance of winning. That’s what I’d probably do anyway.
That’s what I did with my trivia picks. I had three that I really wanted, so chose two 30s and 40s films that I knew no one would vote for. But, in the off chance that she decided to pick out of a hat, I wanted the 2 older films to be something I also really wanted. In searching for the perfect 2 older films, I found myself wanting one of those 2 films to win, and was a little disappointed when they were dead last. If I could go back, I’d probably ask if she wouldn’t mind picking out a hat. Putting these 5 trivia films on a poll causes the winner to have to do a lot of extra theorizing.
You've got to have your sister for king Kong
Like them all, but I will always vote for Ray Harryhausen films if I see them. -Jason and the Argonauts (1963) -Clash of the Titans (1981) -The 7th Voyage of Sinbad (1958).
All of these are great.
Oof. The is the most "none of the above" poll I've seen. Oh well.
Ouch
I voted for 2001 but really sat and watched start to finish, it never grabbed me, seemed too weird. I've never seen clockwork Orange, interested in it but seems too trippy for me
A clockwork orange is definitely a trip. Saw that a long time ago but it sticks with me. Most of kubrick's stuff does
Oh my days!! It’s not going to win but how excited would I be for “Clash of the Titans” 1981!! 🤪😃 My first movie memory as a kid! Watched it over and over and over! Please let it win🙏🙏
Three words about King Kong: Insect pit scene.
Still gives me the heebie jeebies
and is cassie ready for that bit of old ultra violence from Clockwork Orange??
I don’t know about that but I have a feeling that we could be seeing Eyes Wide Shut at some point.
up next aside from 2001 would be Clockwork Orange which is Kubrick's trippiest weirdest film ever it makes 2001 look like a kiddie friendly space documentary.
I don't see a CLOCKWORK ORANGE reaction on this channel ever happening, but I do think she should check out Kubrick's DR. STRANGELOVE next.
I remember seeing Clash of the Titans when I was super young. The effects are for sure dated now but it is a fun movie. I'm cool with King Kong too.
Gonna have to go 2001. I actually saw it for the first time just a few months ago. Knew about it for yrs and how it was one of the "MUST SEE before you die" type of influential films people talk about. Just kept putting it off. It was an experience lol
Did you get to see it on the big screen, because I watched it on television for most of my life and then a few years ago experienced it in IMAX and it was like seeing it for the first time.
I think we are getting King Kong 05 out of this poll! I would love to vote for either 2001 or The Andromeda Strain, which I think would both be great watches, but it is very, very, very hard to ignore the biggest creature in the room!!!
But she was already planning to watch that one, so this is an opportunity to get two great films from this list reacted to.
The only movie in the poll that mildly interests me is King Kong.
That's a shame. There are some fine films on this list.
All great choices. If you have never seen 2001: A Space Odyssey, that would be, hands down, my first choice. It is a timeless classic and a cultural icon.
It's a landmark film not only in the science fiction genre but in cinema itself. Period.
There's a few on here I like, but I've gotta go with my homie's fave - Clash of the Titans!
I would be as excited as a very excited thing that just been appointed head of the school of excitement!!! 😀😀🤪🤪😆😆
I imagine King Kong will probably win which is a fun film but we'd probably watch it anyway in the near future.
The Andromeda Strain… the greatest Science “Fact” film ever made.
Hasn’t King Kong already been promised? I think 2001 should be watched even if it finishes 2nd. I’m 99% convinced that it’ll just leave her confused, but it needs to be seen.
She was indeed already planning to watch KING KONG, so I think we should take advantage of this opportunity to introduce her to 2001.
King Kong? Really? 2001 >>>>>
I hear you, brother.
Wait, she hasn't done 2001?? We have GOT to witness that reaction.
Agreed.
Not only is 2001 the best movie on this list BY FAR -- but it also promises the best reaction.
It will certainly be the most unique reaction as we see her wrestling with the enigmatic imagery.
If Kong wins it’s one of the few times where the extended edition is worse than the theatrical. Anyone else agree with me on that? Too bad the 4k disc is the extended only.
2001 is one of the films I think everybody should see once! I hope people agree and it wins.
Ditto.
“I’m sorry, Dave, I can’t do that.”
"Open the pod bay doors, please, HAL."
King Kong is the one, and Cassie would really enjoy it.
She was already planning to watch that one.
Wow I'm surprised I actually thought she has seen king kong 2005
Not yet. She has seen the 1933 original and was planning to watch the Jackson one at some point.
Andromeda Strain is a great movie. The tension never lets up. You are on the edge of your seat the entire time
It's a good flick.
I don't know whether or not it actually has chance of winning with this group, but I'm voting for the film that is easily the best among these: Stanley Kubrick's science fiction masterpiece 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY. It truly is one of the greatest movies ever made and essential viewing for any self-respecting cinephile. It's one that I've been hoping for a reaction to for a while and this may be the only chance it ever has. If It does come in first, I highly recommend a viewing in the theater space. I also wouldn't mind a viewing of the Peter Jackson KING KONG, but she was already planning to do that (, hopefully after she watches the 1976 one with Jeff Bridges and Jessica Lange), so I'm not going to waste my vote on that one.
Freudian slip saying you are “boring” instead of “voting”
It’s not gonna win but Coherence is awesome!
Agreed . Unseen by too many people.
I’ve been banging my head against the wall for 2001. Hopefully it will at least come in second
I hope it wins.
King Kong 2005 is great you'll love it Cassie 😀
Some good choices here, but I'm going to have to go with "2001: A Space Odyssey".
You have fine taste, my friend.
I hope everyone likes these picks!
Congratulations on your win and great picks! 🎉
