Can't vote, only Strangelove is on the bracket, total screw-up!
Research "Operation Paperclip". It was tangentially touched upon in the movie "The Right Stuff".
Dumb movies 😒 Three kings is better
Either of these (with a slight bias in favor of Dr. Strangelove) is a knockout blow. Can't wait!
Has she seen Zero Dark Thirty yet?
She recently said she has seen it
2026 PiB Watch goal = “A great war movie” - To me, each I list below are war movie.
THE THIN RED LINE (1998) [Terrence Malick] (WWII). Stacked cast. --Nominated for 7 Oscars including Best Picture. THE DEER HUNTER (1978) [AFI Top 100]. Won Best Picture Oscar. --1/4 of movie run time in Vietnam. 3/4 of movie run time in U.S. EMPIRE OF THE SUN (1987) (WWII). Nom 6 Oscars. --4th in Spielberg poll, a mere 5 votes behind 3rd place Duel that got a reaction. THE KILLING FIELDS (1984) (Cambodia). Based on true story. --Nominated for 7 Oscars including Best Picture. THE QUIET AMERICAN (2002) (French Indochina). AFI Movie of the Year. --Brendan Fraser. Michael Caine (nom Best Actor Oscar). Has romance. THREE KINGS (1999) (Iraq).
"The Deer Hunter" is definitely the biggest one she hasn't seen yet. The only reason I can think of regarding her being 'scared' of it might be the movie poster showing De Niro holding a pistol to his temple. Perhaps it's giving her "Taxi Driver" vibes? 🤷♂️
THREE KINGS SHOULDVE BEEN VOTED!!!
Glad Dr Strangelove won. Another Kubrick Classic.
1 of the best comedies in history and on my top 10 of all movies ever made so glad it won
I missed the live, and admittedly a bit out of the loop, did Cassie mention skipping this week or might she just be running late with the Update and posts?
think her weeks run fri to fri at the moment
I have no trouble with the website connection...but my issue with voting...is that I get the notification to late....it popped...said 5 hrs ago..title says voting ends in 4 hrs....not that my vote would gave mattered....looking forward to the winner...definitely a movie any cinefile should check out
I voted for something that lost in the first round so I hope Cassie watches all 15 loser movies. /s
“You need to watch all the movies in this poll!” - I cringe every time someone posts that. It’s like ‘Sure, that can happen, reactors do it all the time’.
Voting is so easy on the website.
Looking for a war movie and getting Dr. Strangelove - hard pass. Like going to a steakhouse but getting served wheat germ.
Accurate
Hi Cassie, I'm really sorry about this: I sent you a parcel for the YT Live but it unfortunately did not reach you in time. According to the tracking, it arrived at your address last Monday. It is a red, square box. Inside it is two packets of Cadbury Mini Egg Orange and four boxes of Hotel Chocolat Hot/cold drinking chocolate. The expiry dates for the Mini Eggs is July 31st and the expiry date for the drinking chocolate is September. So, it is probably best that you open the package now instead of waiting for the next package opening, by then they will have expired. I'M REALLY SORRY AGAIN. I wish I had sent the package off sooner. Jonathan Williams

If Cassie's ever in another war movie mood, she should watch Force 10 from Navarone. Harrison Ford, Robert Shaw, Carl Weathers. Great flick!
Dr Strangelove is a war movie ? OK.
Sorta, I guess?….
Looks like the right movie is winning, at least for now. Dr Strangelove is one of my favorite movies ever. I rank it equal to the M*A*S*H movie.
and Kellys heroes
After watching Dr Strangelove one should check out Fail Safe
Great movie; Walter Matthau in his younger days! If you liked Anthony Perkins in Psycho, check out On the Beach (a great post nuclear war scenario), another stellar performance of his!
If 'A Bridge Too Far' wins, I wonder if Cassie will recognize Laurence Olivier, after seeing him in Rebecca. So many huge stars she'll know in 'A Bridge Too Far'.
Dr. Strangelove!
I am not ignoring the War Movie Bracket final poll, Cassie. I am merely boycotting it on account of Heartbreak Ridge, Stripes, Rambo and Flags of Our Fathers not making the final. Apparently, 254 voters are responsible for this.
Heartbreak Ridge is cool; I liked it a lot. Even if the “glorious” intervention in Grenada had a rather questionable political background. But that’s just me.
I am whelmed with the choices
For anyone having trouble voting just click on the movie you want to win, if you click on the title of the move itself there is a voting box at the bottom of the text
Milt. I keep clicking on Rambo and nothing happens.
Will you be watching the runner up as well, as it looks like it's gonna be A Bridge Too Far and i'm really hoping you'll watch it at some point
Got 340 votes in the semis for Stripes/Strangelove and barely cracked 150 in the finals.
Maybe they should put Stripes in the next comedy poll and see how it does.
Still voting for Empire of the Sun
I don’t know why so many people seem to be having problems with the voting. I can’t really confirm that from my end. I had no problems at all. Neither on PC (Firefox) nor with the app via phone or tablet. Personally, I think Ben has done an outstanding job with the website.
I said this before, but I hope Cassie watches "A Bridge Too Far" even if it ends up in 2nd. Great all-star cast True War Movie Ties in with her viewing of Patton
Voting couldn’t be easier on the website. I don’t know what people are talking about.
The voting app is pure garbage. Please go back to what you used to do.
The voting app is great. What’s garbage is patrons don’t use it.
Live from Baghdad starring Michael Keaton
Maybe someday I'll figure out how to vote on that page
I love this channel. I hate this third party site voting system
Why?
I voted for A Bridge Too Far, but I wouldn’t be mad if Dr. Strangelove win.
Agreed. I hope Cassie chooses to react to both.
Both of these great movies deserve a reaction.
Wow. I am pleasantly surprised at ABTF's success.
