Nice winner :D
OHHH FUCK YES! STARGATE! I joined after the poll but I'm so happy to see it won. 🥹
Come on guys, let's get Akira to the threshold! It's too good (and influential in the world of anime) to not at least return!
Blues Brothers is the true classic here! Others are all great but… ;)
How is Akira and The Abyss losing to Stargate? Woof.
Would have voted Blues Brothers, but was feeling bad for Akira, which is incredible.
The Stargate series is much better than the movie. Not that the movie is terrible, but it is just kinda OK. I think people are voting for this for the wrong reasons...
I really hope watching the movie leads to watching the series as well.
Stargate is great. So much so that I almost didn't vote for my own recommendation (The Blues Brothers). To be honest, I probably would have recommended Stargate too if somebody hadn't beaten me to it.
If you happen to like the stargate lore and then decide to start watching stargate series as well, I will probably be subbed to you guys for life lol
After the Quantum Leap somehow beating out Twin Peaks debacle, seeing this happen again with Blues Brothers losing out to Stargate of all things is really disappointing.
You say debahcul. I say "Debbicle."
I voted for Akira because I don't want to see something I like shit on from the opening credits.
That’s not fair, we definitely wait until at least the first line of dialogue.
I think you guys would enjoy Blues Brothers (a musical mad cap comedy) the most. With The Abyss with a close second. Be aware there is more than one version of each movie on video.
Akira is probably the most unique film on this list, likely to be something you haven't seen anything like before. But because it is animated, and from Japan, despite how much it inspired Western animators, I doubt it's gonna do strong in a general poll.
Unfortunately. There's no doubt that Akira is the most influential film on this poll.
I voted The Abyss but the Blues Brothers is a very close second.
The Blues Brothers has some of the most insane car chases ever committed to film. Love that movie
Unpopular opinion: the theatrical release of The Abyss is superior to the director’s cut
Okay you must have already seen Hunt for Red October then. Cool cool.
Voted Abyss, MUST be directors cut, it makes the movie make sense. Stargate is pretty good too.
The Blues Brothers is also available in two versions (theatrical and extended), although the true director's cut is lost. It's one of my favorite movies; I omitted it from my recent list of favorites primarily because I don't think its middle two quarters have enough plot to sustain their length, so the film sags in the middle. The beginning and ending are perfect.
I probably should have seen Abyss at some point, but that was one of several weird underwater movies that came out between 1989 and 1990. The others were DeepStar Six, Leviathan, Lords of the Deep, The Evil Below, and The Rift. Why so many movies on the exact same topic within about one year? It looks like people like Stargate, so it must be better than I thought. I don't think I have ever heard of the movie Akira. That movie must have gaining popularity after it was released.
Hollywood lacks imagination. Underwater film does well......quick they like underwater films commission them all!
I love Stargate, if you enjoy it, it’s a good series to get into being 10 seasons long with two spin offs. Film is good but the series is far better.
Haven't watched the Stargate movie but I can highly recommend the show
Show > Movie
The Blues Brothers is one of the top comedies of all time and you should see it regardless of the poll just for pop culture relevance.
I'd like to see The Blues Brothers, as it's a favorite of mine AND it's something far outside what you tend to watch.
Voting on this poll is like voting for my favourite child. I love all 4 of these.
The Blues Brothers is the only one I've seen, although I don't know that it makes a good youtube reaction video as so much of the music has to be edited to avoid copyright problems.
As with all Audience Cut episodes the reaction will be Patreon exclusive so no worries there
How do you guys determine these top four? Were there a lot of choices of movies that you had already seen?
We compiled a list of movies from the recommendations that we haven’t seen and got a high amount of likes and/or looked interesting to us. These are 4 from the list. The others will be added in future polls. Working on a spreadsheet with more detail of what we’ve seen & what’s been recommended. That should be coming soon
Blues Brothers for me is one of the most over-rated films ever
Agreed. I just don't get it.
Come on Blues Brothers! I want an excuse to watch it again!!!
Stargate! The f*^& is wrong with you. Akira!
"We have Blade Runner at home..."
Torture as all are top films. Picked the Blues Brothers as it’s one of the best comedies of all-time with outstanding musical performances. All are superb films though.
