Gathering movie suggestions for next batch of Audience Cut polls
Next week we will run 2024's first Audience Cut poll for you to decide the next movie we watch, so we need to gather your suggestions!
*Please take a look at our MOVIES collection here on Patreon to see what we have already reacted to*
There are no rules or constraints on what movie to suggest.
Comment as many movies as you’d like but please only 1 movie per comment.
If you see a comment for a movie you would like us to watch please like that comment instead of commenting it again.
We will take a mix of the most liked choices as well as ones we find most interesting and use them in the polls over the next few months.
There is only one returning movie from the last poll - The Abyss (1989)

Re-Animator - this will get you acquainted with one of the best actors in Star Trek history
Flash Gordon - a highly underrated (IMO) but highly entertaining sci/fi fantasy romp. Produced and written by Lorenzo Semple Jr. who created and wrote the Batman TV show from the 60s.
Superman (1978) was the first live-action super=hero movie that started the entire trend of that genre of films, and once you see it, you'll know why.
Silver Streak (1976) is a hoot, and one scene in the middle of the picture could never be filmed that way again. Ever.
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (I like the 1978 version, but the original 1956 is good, too).
It's a Wonderful Life (1947). Its timely message is considered one of the best ever put to film.
THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL (1951), directed by Robert Wise, who also directed 1979's Star Trek: The Motion Picture.
Fried Green Tomatoes (1991). "The secret's in the sauce." LOL
Quick Change (1991)
Fire and Ice (1983)
Ex Machina (2014)
The Black Hole (1979)
Catch-22 (1970)
Young Guns (1988)
Slither (2006)
Planes, Trains and Automobiles (1987)
M*A*S*H (1970)
That one also stars Sally Kellerman, who just 6 years before, was in TOS's second pilot "Where No Man Has Gone Before" as Dr. Elizabeth Dehner.
The Long Goodbye (1973)
Hopscotch (1980)
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
Everything Everywhere All At Once (2022). I suspect you might have seen it already, but if not, I would love to see your "WTF" reactions!
Mystery Train (1989)
They Call Me Trinity (1970.) A non-Sergio Leone spaghetti western that deserves more love.
Satan's Triangle (1975) Made for T.V. Movie I was 9 in 1975 and this Freaked me out! 😱
I was 6 or 7 when it aired. In hindsight I can't believe my parents let me watch it. I had more than one sleepless night afterwards, but it definitely left a lasting impression on me
If you're into the late 60s/early 70s music scene (Led Zep, Who, Simon/Garfunkel, Fleetwood etc), Almost Famous can't be missed
My sister never liked this type of music but she liked the film a lot! It's a good film regardless of the music (although Stillwater sounds just like a real 70s band. They got the vibe and musical style down to a T).
Nearly NOBODY has reacted to "Surf's Up" (Sony Animation) on YouTube, which I think is a crying shame. Surfing penguins, shot in a mock-documentary style, with some animation techniques (mainly how they animated the waves) that had to be created in order to do it. Plus, it's funny.
Flash Gordon (1980)
Young Frankenstein
Kalifornia (1993).. the only Brad Pitt performance I truly enjoy. It’s kind of a psychological thriller with a TNG connection (you’ll eventually get to).
Dawn of the Dead (1978)
The Good, The Bad & The Ugly
Animal Crackers (1930), unless you’re well acquainted with the Marx Brothers already.
A Clockwork Orange - surprised nobody mentioned it yet

This one is a long shot, but I'm going to suggest the mostly-forgotten film "Dragonslayer" from 1981. It features one of the best cinematic dragons of all time.
A classic film from 1952 which won the Best Picture at that year's Oscars is also THE movie that inspired Stephen Speilberg to end up becoming a film-maker, and that is Cecil B. DeMille's "THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH," starring film legends James Stewart and Charlton Heston. It's not SciFi, but is a "golden era movie epic" with literally thousands in the cast just like DeMille's other epic with Heston - "The Ten Commandments." Cecil B. DeMille is considered the best movie-maker in history, and Speilberg got the "Cecil B. DeMille Award" not too many years ago for his work as a director, and stated that DeMille's 1952 '--Greatest Show--' film was what got him into movies from the start.............. Speilberg's account of that is depicted in his movie "The Fablemans," a sort of biop of his early life, which was released about a year ago.
You might want to break this up into separate posts so people can support the films with likes, Rhett
Also I feel like you guys might really want to put up a spreadsheet for suggestions you've seen so we don't go polluting future polls with the same reccs again
You can go view the movies list they've seen/reacted right here on Patreon. It's only 20 long right now so it's easy to go through.

Return to Oz (1985)

The Schwarzenegger one from the '80s, right? Not the Jason Momoa one from 2010-ish.
Solaris (1972) - utterly beguiling and strange.
Proposed more than once in this thread. Hopefully the guys will compile the not-duplicate likes from the multiple mentions.

Airplane II for some 80s Shatner and a few Trek-related gags.
I came back here tonight to write this recommendation. They loved the first one!

Wet Hot American Summer (2001)
Fantastic Voyage (1966)
Colossus: The Forbin Project (1970) a very prophetic plot about artificial intelligence.

The Last Starfighter
The Core (2003)
Total Recall (1990)

This is an absolute must watch! One of Spielberg's earliest big budget movies, right after Jaws. An amazing sci-fi film, that was overshadowed because it just happen to come out the same year as the original Star Wars. I'd highly recommend the Blu-ray Director's Cut. You guys gotta watch this one if you haven't already!
The Flight of the Phoenix (1965)
Contact (1997)
Suburban Commando (with Hulk Hogan) (of course only if you don't know it)

Maltese Falcon (1941) since there is a sequel premiering this month
SEQUEL!?!?
Poseidon Adventure 1972
And one a little more in line with the rest: The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra (2001)
This will probably be way outside the comfort zone, but since it's a leap year: Pirates of Penzance (1983)
The Brain That Wouldn't Die (made in 1959 but released in 1962)
CABIN IN THE WOODS
YES!
The Right Stuff (1983)
Jason and the Argonauts (1963), fun adventure, awesome effects.

Alas, I don't think they'd enjoy it. Or its sequel.
Flight Of The Navigator
Dark Skies (2013)
Limitless
Innerspace
Stargate movie (1994)
Great as a stand-alone movie, with no obligation to watch the TV show that came after.
Real Genius
If you're still looking for old school Sci-fi you should check out the original Solaris. I know a 70s Soviet film doesn't stand a chance in a poll, but it really is a superb film from one of the greatest directors of the era.
