Needs a Tim Curry Poll
Black and White Poll Please
A poll poll. Hmm.
I know you've already seen it, but could we PLEEEEASE get a Friday Night Lights tv show rewatch??!! PLEASE!
You and your sister may have already seen this, but how about Moonlight Mile? Doesn't fit in any of these categories. It's a blockbuster cast: Jake Gyllenhal, Ellen Pompeo, Susan Sarandon, Dustin Hoffman - heavy film, but ultimately an uplifting, beautiful film.
Obsession Masters Of Universe
What about a documentary poll?
Kramer vs Kramer for Meryl Streepe or The impossible for disaster movies
With new releases winning and B&W coming in second, I hope that all genres will be in the running and not just dramas as usual.
She is going to watch Obsession separately, and also The Odyssey when it's available. A few Poll movies she did mention were: - Backrooms - Disclosure Day - Mando & Grogu - Blades of the Guardians
I watched the He Man movie this weekend, surprisingly I liked it, anything with Alison Brie in it I'll watch.
+1 for Alison Brie
I actually like that Cassie primarily watches older movies instead of the movies that just came out of the theaters. I feel that's what separates her from a lot of the other reactors.
How about a documentary poll?
Underappreciated and forgotten movies poll: 'Way of the Gun', 'Angels & Demons', 'Seabiscuit', 'The Sum of All Fears', 'Tears of the Sun', 'Last Man Standing', 'The Diving Bell and the Butterfly', 'Things We Lost in the Fire', 'Incendies', 'The Ox-Bow Incident'
She has done Seabiscuit and The Sum of all Fears.
You definitely couldn’t do something like Bugonia when it was a new release or even now, because there aren’t any space lasers, no one is at war, and because the lead is a female and she has cooties, eww!
I find it weird how people can have this take and completely ignore that her most recent reactions include the Peanut Butter Falcon, Thunderbolt and Lightfoot, Blues Brothers, and The Whole Wide World. But that wouldn’t fit your false narrative though would it?
2nd place Black and White movies gets a poll? When I decided to watch an old movie, I asked a friend to recommend a black and white movie. For some of us, we think of an old movie as a black and white movie. Synonyms to us. The phrases "old movies" and "black and white movies" are or were interchangeable to us. I think better to characterize old movies by time frame (and maybe genre), not black/white label. I suggest Black and White Movies poll be movies filmed in black/white as a creative and stylistic choice. Examples: Good Night and Good Luck (2005), Dead Man (1995) [Johnny Depp], The Last Picture Show (1971), Paper Moon (1973), Nebraska (2013), The Lighthouse (2019). Example filmed "primarily" in black/white = Belfast (2021).
Switching from "Courtoom Movie" to "Black and White Movie".
Yeah, the Meryl Streep poll really has a shot. 🙄
Let’s introduce Cassie to a real disaster movie 2012 but God please no Meryl Streep movies. How about a classic Cary Grant movie Gunga din the movie that inspired Indiana Jones
Disclose your day and all those they are terrible movies all hype
I would love to see Cassie react to AKIRA it would be out of pocket
I scanned through the comments and didn’t notice the answer I’m curious about, so here’s the question. What are Black and White Movies? Please help because I’m older and don’t understand young people speak.
Nah, no young people speak here! I think it simply refers to movies shot without color (no Technicolor, etc.). For example: the 1957 version of 12 Angry Men is a classic black-and-white movie, whereas the 1997 remake was shot in color.
If your Anime selections include groundbreaking films like Akira or films of Hayao Miyazaki, count me in. But honestly, there’s tons of great stuff to choose from.
She isn't ready for Akira yet.
So next to zero chance of a Meryl Streep Poll winning any time soon, but I still think Kramer vs. Kramer would be an interesting one for the channel. Hope it ends up here someday.
Courtroom poll would be an in for it as well
B4: Courtoom poll.....anything for a shot at "And Justice For All". After: Son of a biscuit!
You're out of order, Brian!
Interesting that New Movies and Black & White films are running 1 & 2. That suggests both recency bias and a fossil fanbase.
Some guy on every YT video says that a bunch of old geezers are deciding all the channel content. All I can say to him is, "Get off my lawn punk"...😆
Voted for Christian Bale poll just so Cassie has another chance to finally see baby Bail in Empire of the Sun.
I thought Cassie already watched enough black and white movies most of the time to not need a poll.
If 2nd place Black and White Movies gets a poll, some of my fav black/white movies: 1. Good Night, and Good Luck (2005) 2. Dead Man (1995) (western/fantasy) [Jim Jarmusch] (Johnny Depp). 3. The Last Picture Show (1971) (stellar cast) 4. Paper Moon (1973) 5. Paths of Glory (1957) [Kubrick] 6. High Noon (1952) [AFI Top 100] 7. Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966) (Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton). 8. His Girl Friday (1940). Some black/white movies on my watchlist: The Tragedy Of Macbeth (2021) (Denzel, Francis McDormand), Sunset Boulevard (1950), Frances Ha (2012), Roma (2018), All About Eve (1950), Passing (2021), Cold War (2018), The Night of the Hunter (1955).
I would also suggest "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" (1962). I would never want to go back to the really old stuff pre-1950.
Obsession MIGHT be a bit much for Cassie, but maybe not. She has come a long way. And I’d love to find out — it really is a cool movie. Anyone mentioning Carly and that movie isn’t being serious. She wouldn’t make it through the trailer.
She knows not to take that person seriously.
Courtroom 👍
Could we get a sci fi or comedy movie poll?
Obsesssion reaction with Carly please??? She's gonna love this date romantic movie
Cassie needs more Anime in her life.
You gotta watch Citizen Kane and I’m waiting for Gone with the Wind (I’m not gay I just love good timeless movies)
Here is her YT edit reaction to Gone with the Wind. https://www.patreon.com/popcorninbed/posts/yt-edit-gone-159981170
Gotta watch Cape Fear Tv show it’s sooo good. Apple TV has some bangers on there. Severance, your friends and neighbors, Margo’s got money troubles, Maximum Pleasure guaranteed, Widow’s Bay, monarch, lucky, sirens, pluribus, The studio, shrinking
Good quality control over there. Cape Fear really hooked me. Granted the music is a bit too overdramatic in too many places, but it's a very twisty show. Great expanding on the original stories. Just finished all available last night.
If Cassie does go for a new releases poll, I hope Project Hail Mary will be on it!
She watched it off channel
Love and Basketball (2000) Barbershop (2002) Brown Sugar (2002) The Inkwell (1994) Dead Presidents (1995) Antwone Fisher (2002) Ray (2004) The Best Man (1999) The Wood (1999) Miss Evers Boys (1997) Hotel Rwanda (2004) Akeelah And The Bee (2006) Dreamgirls (2006) The Pursuit of Happyness (2006) ATL (2006) The Great Debaters (2007) Cadillac Records (2008) Miracle At St. Anna (2008) Get On Up (2015) Marshall (2018) How Stella Got Her Groove Back (1998) What's Love Got to Do with It (1993) Waiting to Exhale (1995) Tap (1989) 42 (2013) Chi-raq (2016) Dope (2015) Malcolm X (1992) Love Jones (1997) House Party (199) Class Act (1992) New Jack City (1991) Mississippi Masala (1991) Beasts of the Southern Wild (2012) Dear White People (2015) Undercover Brother (2002) Straight out Of Compton (2015) Last Black Man in San Francisco (2019) Jungle Fever (1991) Poetic Justice (1993) ✊🏾✊🏿✊🏾✊🏿✊🏾✊🏿✊🏾
I would pick Moonlight over all of these. But it's a good and pointed list.
Anime poll for the change of pace
Cassie liked “In Bruges”, We should tell her that “The Gentleman”, is the sequel to “In Bruges”.
Just cut out the poll and plan on watching Obsession.....or maybe take off the new release option.....😂
Come on Anime peeps, we need to pump those number up.
i knew it would either be recents or anime, but im very glad anime is in like 4th or 5th, once the weebs get a hold of a channel it's over
Who are all these young'uns voting for newer movies?😆
I'm an old but I voted for new releases because there seem to be some interesting ones out there and I'm not going to watch them otherwise.
Suggested candidates for the New Releases poll: -Obsession -The Odyssey -Disclosure. If the poll reaches back to 2025, I suggest Warfare (2025) [RT 92%] and the Oscar Best Pic winner One Battle After Another (Paul Thomas Anderson). Also, Hamnet and Sentimental Value (2025) (Stellan Skarsgård), both Oscar Best Pic nominees.
I fuckin’ Hate Obsession: UGH, Don’t Say Hate. I disliked Obsession so much. (BTW: Since Cassie used the F-word, are we allowed to use the F-word.)
Cassie doesn’t use the F-word so I’m sure she’d prefer you didn’t in here either.
One of these days we'll get a documentary poll.
We won’t, but some of us (myself very much included) will continue to wish we would.
~Courtroom~ "Sleepers" 1996 - Robert De Niro, Kevin Bacon, Brad Pitt, Minnie Driver, Dustin Hoffman "The Hurricane" 1999 - Denzel Washington, Deborah Kara Unger (CDN) Liev Schreiber "The Client" 1994 - Susan Sarandon, Tommy Lee Jones, Mary-Louise Parker, William H. Macy "The Accused" 1988 - Jodie Foster, Terry David Mulligan (CDN) "A Civil Action" 1998 - John Travolta, Robert Duvall, William H. Macy "American Hangman" 2019 - Donald Sutherland (CDN) "Changing Lanes" 2002 - Ben Affleck, Samuel L. Jackson, Sydney Pollack, Amanda Peet
Your top 2 are among my top 3. Also have The Judge 2014 - RDJ, Robert Duvall in there as well
I picked anime but if the new movies pick wins, it's an automatic for Obsession. I think that wins and get 40%.
I voted New Releases (Obsession, Odyssey, Disclosure, etc.). My other top choices: -MERYL STREEP (Deer Hunter + Bridges Madison County – she nom Oscar in both). -CHRISTIAN BALE (The Fighter, Rescue Dawn). I love Amy Adams in The Fighter. We may get Bale this year w/Nolan Batman trilogy rewatch (2026 PiB watch goal). -BIOPIC. Hope for Capote (2005) [1959-1960s] [my PAF this month] but wouldn’t win. -COURTOOM (Sleepers, The Accused [1988], The Hurricane) -SPORTS. (McFarland, USA – could be PPOTM). Moneyball (2011) that she doesn't remember and wants to do a rewatch reaction. She even included Moneyball rewatch in baseball poll - came in 3rd out of 10 choices. Beat Eight Men Out. Bad News Bears won. https://www.patreon.com/popcorninbed/posts/baseball-movie-125642644
A non english poll pls
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2009) Sentimental Value (2025)
See Masters of the Universe or Supergirl.
Of course, Recency bias strikes again. It’s a shame because Cassie would likely react to those movies anyway.
~Sports~ "Draft Day" 2014 - Kevin Costner, Jennifer Garner, Chadwick Boseman, Denis Leary "Moneyball" 2011 - Brad Pitt, Jonah Hill, Chris Pratt, Philip Seymour Hoffman "A League of Their Own" 1992 - Tom Hanks, Geena Davis, Madonna, Rosie O'Donnell
I need to watch that one, David. It keeps slipping through the net.
Cassie, I hope in your next sports movie poll, you'll include "Remember the Titans" (2000) with Denzel Washington. In the same way that "Rocky" is so much more than a boxing movie, this one is SO VERY much more than a football movie -- and I would bet my house that you and Carly would absolutely love it !
She and Carly have both mentioned it’s one of their favourites and they have probably seen it too many times for it to ever make it on the channel.
Trust me to choose Biopics and it languishing right near the bottom 😂
Anime, of course.
Black and white - so like clerks? (94) 😉
Technically…..
This poll's been running 3 hours, and based on the current result I'm guessing we're watching "Obsession", without needing the actual poll. Just for reference, I did not vote for that poll.
I voted Black and White movie poll frankly expecting it to come in last. Pleasantly surprised to see it’s in solid second place.
B&W it is!
Biopic poll would have been interesting. Would Raging Bull or Gandhi of done well?
No offense to supporters of Gandhi, but Jake LaMotta would’ve kicked his ass.
Reign of fire is high up on the popcorn requests list, so that might of won the Christian Bale pole? I always really liked it, however my wife thinks it’s a pile of poo!
Don't worry, Mark. I bunged Lucy a tenner so I can get The Fighter watched. Her instructions are to verbally abuse any other Bale film that may have a chance.
Disaster poll would have been nice. Towering inferno would be high up on that poll. Absolute classic.
The man's got a point.
Anime! So many great choices!!!:). You need to watch ‘the shape of voice’ it will change you
Yeeah A Silent Voice would be a good choice
Michael…hee….heeeee!!!
Glad to see that New Releases is winning. I am always hoping for newer movies. I prefer movies from the 21st century. I like 2020’s. As for 2025-2026, several great new releases. I have not seen The Odyssey but will see it in IMAX this weekend. Gets rave reviews but I will see what I think.
I was thinking Clay you might want New Releases poll. Which movies would new like to see on it?
New releases are beating courtroom dramas and sports movies??? Who are these people who hate Cassie and want to keep her from what she loves? OK, fair enough. New stuff will probably do good numbers for the channel, but I think Cassie needs to call an audible on the other genres: The Verdict (1982) with Paul Newman for the Courtroom drama The Fighter (2010) for Christian Bale Papillon (1973) for the Biopic Towering Inferno (1974) for the Disaster Movie Big Business (Laurel & Hardy, 1929) for the Black & White movie Kramer vs Kramer (1979) for Meryl Streep Bloodsport (1988) for Sports I'll leave the Anime suggestions to others more qualified.
You were doing good on the recommendations and then you hit Bloodsport.
Yeah....no anime. It's just not your thing and i dont really think it's your audience
“Your Name” started out slow but has done fairly well
Poll or no poll, we need to have a football movie week when the season starts. Brian's Song, The American Underdog, The Express and Lucas (could be considered I think) are my top choices
Black and White movies as long as Clerks is on the list 😂.
Black and White works for me. There are so many great ones she needs to watch. I was just watching "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre" yesterday and thinking how good it was. I guess that’s why it has a 100 on Rotten Tomatoes.
I like The Treasure of the Sierra Madre [AFI Top 100]
In the new release poll Obsession is going to win in a colossal landslide (rightly so).
I hope so! Trying not to get my hopes up too much though lol
Yayyy....more new stuff that nobody will remember about in 10 years.
She watches more old movies than every reactor out there. God forbid we get some modern movies on the channel. Geez.
For the love of all things good and pure, NO ANIME, please!
I will accept Jungle Burger.
Courtroom Movie & Classic: Witness for the Prosecution !!!
So Kat from @Katwatcheshorrormovies already did Obsession and Backrooms. Kat was really into both. Obsession was really messed up and she will never understand Backrooms. Masters Of The Universe was kind of nostalgic for me. She might like it if she watches some of the old cartoons first. Disclosure Day we loved but a lot of people on IMDB didn't. The Mandalorian And Grogu she would absolutely love hands down the best thing you can do for her
Looks like the New Releases Poll is going to win. With roughly 130 years of film history, 1980 still counts as a new release, right? So we're actually looking at a 1980-to-today poll, right? :-)
Currently released ie,'Snow Woke & The Seven Discord Mods" :)
Lord of the Rings directed by Christopher Nolan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReiIlKR_zqc&lc
Courtroom = Sleepers (1996) Sports = Eight Men Out (1988)
She's mentioned Sleepers so many times that I'm surprised she hasn't watched it by now. I wish she would.
Nice try on the courtroom movie poll Cass! We know you love a courtroom drama! 😉 Just watch “Indictment: the McMartin Trial” anyway, maybe for PPOTM
That is a wonderful idea!
Disaster movies are always a great time. Save movies like Obsession for Halloween.
Towering Inferno and Daylight are two good ones.
I was going to vote Biopic, with the hope Temple Grandin would be on the list, but I just had to vote for New Releases. The chance of Cassie (and hopefully Carly) reacting to Disclosure Day is too good to pass up. I saw that movie five times on the big screen, it was that good. 🍿
Ahh I keep forgetting about Temple Grandin. Will always second that suggestion. GREAT movie and performance.
If the black and white poll wins.... I sure hope "Goodbye Mr. Chips" from 1939 is on there. Poor film had to contend with the wizard of OZ that year.
Not that either category stands a chance Inherit the Wind would take care of courtroom and black and white.
Very pleasantly surprised that the New Release poll is winning! :)
A lot of these really depends on which movies are picked. Black and white, is American History X on there? If so what is the point of a poll? Anime, who is picking the movies? Because you risk getting something like Akira, which while great isn't right for this point in Cassie's anime journey. And the same for a few of the other categories.
Cassie would love Kiki’s Delivery Service - and so would I.
I’d love to see a situation where we at least get one or two classic films every month. ❤️
Cassie needs to definitively set what constitutes a Classic first, Abraham. I would say pre 1960, but others would pick the entire 20th century.
I’d like to see some newer movies on the channel…Disclosure Day and/or Song Sung Blue would be my first choices. Since we’re in the middle of Summer and the 2026 Baseball season, Eight Men Out would be fitting in a Sports Movie Poll. And please….no Anime.
What did you think of Disclosure Day? Was it good?
Sam Neill remembrance poll?
Dead Calm with Nicole Kidman's butt!
Black and white. I want Cassie to see any Abbott and Costello movie though Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein would be peak. It even features Bella Lugosi as Dracula
And the original/best Wolfman, Lon Cheney. And Vincent Price as the Invisible Man was excellent (THE greatest horror movie voice of all time).
I know she's seen it but I would love to see a reaction to the dark knight...eventually lol
I think she plans to rewatch the entire trilogy at some point.
I opted for the Courtroom since you haven't watched THE VERDICT (1982) yet. But b&w is good too. You do realize just how many b&w movies there are, don't you? In which case I have to recommend NOTORIOUS (1946) although there are 10 others that also come to mind. Where should I list them all?
The Verdict is superb.
Sportsball
As much as I love the classics, my vote's with the new stuff this time. Particularly obsession lol. Some creepy stuff would be a change for the dog days of summer
I don’t know why I want to see Cassie react to Obsession but I do.
Because it's an amazing reaction movie.
B&W movies for sure...
Hey Jens!!!! Are you on the new Pib site?? I have searched 🙂🙂
Black and white movies please ... all day long
Project Hail Mary for new releases!
She saw it at the cinema, i just watched it the other night and thought it would've made a great reaction.
The Bale poll makes me think of Swing Kids. That was my first introduction to him, and I'd love more people to watch it.
Also include 'The Fighter' on that poll, with Walberg, I think his portrayal of Dickie in that is maybe his best performance
I have always wanted you to react to "The Hurricane" starring Denzel Washington.
You are a good man Fletcher!
As a very new anime convert, Attack on Titan and Full Metal Alchemist, that is a vast world. Christian Bale has some great ones. But you can never gone wrong with a Courtroom film.
I'm betting she is thinking movie, not 51+movie/64 episode series (FMA).
THE SONG OF BERNADETTE - 1943 based on a true story Bernadette's performance to me is outstanding. THE MIRACLE WORKER (1962). Is an outstanding movie. Based on a real story. The performances are beyond strong. The main actress is Anne Bancroft but Patty Duke (the little girl) steals the movie. Patty Duke is the mother (in real life) of Sean Astin... Samwise Gamgee. Is a simple movie but. Patty Duke's character, Helen Keller, was deaf and blind person.
'A Man for All Seasons' best picture 1966⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Don’t make Cassie watch Obsession.
lol, she’s seen worse by now. But you’re probably right.
Plenty of classic 70’s , 80’s, and 90’s movies to look forward too.
Definitely react to Obsession & Masters of the Universe.
Michael. That needs a reaction.
Voted Meryl Streep, hoping specifically for Postcards from the Edge (1990)
My favourite band, Blue Rodeo, make an appearance at the end.
I think you'd like Real Steel, judging from your Rocky movive marathon reactions.
Obsession 1,000%!!!!!!
I chose courtroom poll, but I would be happy for biopics too!
I feel the same way. 2 shots at The Hurricane!
Why not a comedy poll?
Love some of the New Releases this year and would love to see your reaction to several, and maybe these can hit a later poll, if they don’t win here. Christian Bale w/ The Nolan Batman trilogy is iconic and you have the other Batman movie represented.
Sports, so that maybe 8 Seconds gets on a poll 🐂🤠
Whenever you react to a courtroom movie I recommend Juror #2.
I saw that a while ago. Very good film.
A black and white poll with Cold War (2018) by Polish director Patel Pawlikowski would make for great inception
We need an attack on titan watch, no spoilers that first episode of AOT would be tough but just excellent storytelling all the way through
Cassie reacting to Obsession and Backrooms 🤞
Bless you Simon, Bless you.....
If I could guarantee the Disaster Poll resulted in a The Towering Inferno win, I'd go with that in less than a heartbeat.
I've always liked you, Mike.
If the new releases poll wins you have to put Pressure (2026) on there. It probably won’t win, regrettably, but I think you’d love it.
I've always wanted to see you watch more older movies. So the black and white poll gets my vote.
Mystery Alaska would be a good one, if unseen
She watched it earlier this year
I'll take Black and White movies for 100, please! :)
Here HERE
I voted for a new releases poll
I love that Black & White is such a broad category you can find something from just about any other option to fit in it.
Nebraska.
A They Shoot Pictures Don't They? Poll would be absolutely perfect.
I've been dying for a poll of heavier, deeper-cutting (non-war) dramas like that one.
The Bridges of Madison County 💕💔✨
Children's Hour 1960 needs to be seen by more people
Bale
No anime lol
Unless it includes Speed Racer the movie (2008) as hybrid.
Give me all the polls! Haha
