Up {on the Housetop} Coming
Added 2024-12-03 23:07:59 +0000 UTC
We are here! Its officially December. The kids got lego advent calendars and I am thinking I deserve a chocolate one to count down until Christmas. I hope you all had a lovely Thanksgiving. I hosted most of Ben's family and it turned out great, despite one tiny cry in my pantry and being too full to enjoy the pie as always.
This week starts the Christmas movies....and Uncle Buck! HA! I feel like in my head because of Home Alone and Planes, Trains and Automobiles and maybe his last name-John Candy feels like the holidays! We also have a Christmas Season Poll going on and it is very close. The two leads are very much surprising me, but I think it will be a photo finish! This December we will have Christmas movies sprinkled in on the channel, but some regular ones as well! I'm thinking a directors poll is up next! Should I draw one from a hat?
Our Christmas YT Live is next weekend! A Friday night! This one is always really fun and I hope to see you there!
I also think for the Butter Live this month I might do a watch-along to a Christmas classic, maybe one of the losers on the Christmas poll haha or maybe one of those vintage claymation ones I keep hearing about. It will be earlier in the month as we are heading to Canada for Christmas (might be the evening of the 18th)
Ok I think that is all the news for now, have the best week, spread Christmas cheer to one and all!

2024-12-07 18:22:52 +0000 UTCWhere can I find the Christmas Poll
Steven And Chloe Oddi
2024-12-07 13:02:36 +0000 UTCCrazyivan I agree, I’m just trying to get a Eastwood poll anyway I can! Both the Any which ways and a Kelly’s hero’s would be awesome Clint week!
Mark White
2024-12-06 16:06:16 +0000 UTCI prefer Clint as an actor than as a director. And decades of more movies to watch. How about a double feature of Every Which Way But Loose (1978) and Any Which Way You Can (1980)? You can't get enough of Clint and Clyde the orangutan. Then you can always come back and watch Kelly's Heroes (1970).
crazyivan
2024-12-06 14:13:56 +0000 UTCI haven't seen any of them
Scott Pearcy
2024-12-06 08:22:43 +0000 UTCThis may shock and amaze you, but I agree with every word. This is why I push the film so hard. It's not just that I love it, I know without a doubt that Cassie (and Carly) would love it just as much.
Clarence Newman
2024-12-06 08:07:05 +0000 UTCCan't wait
Matthew Gibson
2024-12-06 00:31:49 +0000 UTC@Clay F - I really wonder how the super overt racism in 48 Hrs would play today for someone who's never seen it before. I grew up loving that movie in the 80s, but man, I could see that seriously rubbing people today the wrong way.
Stranger2Reality
2024-12-05 23:28:28 +0000 UTCI'll tell you why An Officer and a Gentleman is one of my all time favorite romance movies: because it shows a real character arc where we go through a serious internal struggle with someone who isn't capable of love at the beginning but is at the end. Most romances or Rom Coms don't have much in the way of a serious conflict, or if they do, then you don't buy the way it's nearly wrapped up at the end. In An Officer and a Gentleman, I fully believe what Mayo goes through and how he is changed by the end. That's what makes that last scene so iconic: because it's so incredibly well earned. There's a bunch of famous romance movies where I simply do not have faith that it will work out with the two main characters (I'm looking at you, Jerry Maguire), but I do not question at all where things are headed after the credits roll for An Officer and a Gentleman.
Stranger2Reality
2024-12-05 23:24:21 +0000 UTCClint Eastwood is such a strange director, so many great movies and so many awful ones. I think that's because he churns out so many films (or used to), so sometimes his output really suffers. I think Ridley Scott has the same issue.
Stranger2Reality
2024-12-05 23:14:38 +0000 UTCI'd like to also voice support for Wind River, as that movie is fantastic. "Luck don't live out here."
Stranger2Reality
2024-12-05 23:12:33 +0000 UTCAfter much umming and ahhing, I'll nominate Wes Anderson for a director's poll. Grand Budapest Hotel was well received and I suspect most of his other movies would get the same reception. He's probably not for everyone, there's certainly no denying he's become increasingly arty farty over time, but personally I love the smell of his farts. Also: can't wait for Uncle Buck.
Ian Tonge
2024-12-05 21:14:26 +0000 UTCYes that’s the one. But she’s seen worse on the channel.
Aaron Mann
2024-12-05 20:38:44 +0000 UTCUmm… Wind River, is that the Elizabeth Olsen, Renner movie? Because I’ve seen that once, when it came out and if I remember correctly there are some scenes in that which maybe to brutal for Cassie!
Mark White
2024-12-05 20:34:26 +0000 UTCI’m only for rewatches if it’s for movies one has “not” seen, or they both have seen, but barely remember. Like I’m talking movies that they watched once, ten years or longer ago.
Cole Jennett
2024-12-05 18:30:43 +0000 UTCThey are never going to lie. If she says she hasn’t, you can trust that.
Cole Jennett
2024-12-05 18:29:03 +0000 UTCTerry Gilliam poll would be fun.
Jake McNulty
2024-12-05 17:53:40 +0000 UTCI 3rd a 'Clint Eastwood' poll,'The Bridges of Madison County' 'Dirty Harry' 'Escape From Alcatraz'...can you guy's give the cheesy 80's bubblegum movies a time out!
Celeste McAllister
2024-12-05 17:26:18 +0000 UTCThe 'Revenant' had me rooting for the bear,it's a re-make of the much better,wider scoped 1970 'Man in the Wilderness' with Richard Harris...
Celeste McAllister
2024-12-05 17:21:06 +0000 UTCIMO, re-watches should be kept to a bare minimum on the channel, at least until Cassie gets through most of her top 200. Perhaps she should query her patrons to see if re-watches would be supported by the majority.
Joe
2024-12-05 16:22:46 +0000 UTCGeneral Witchfinder. I think they mean a reaction to great movies Cassie and/or Carly have already seen OFF-channel, not re-reactions to things that are already on the channel. It's the only way we're going to get One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest and Unstoppable.
Clarence Newman
2024-12-05 14:33:33 +0000 UTCThe Kid (1921) The Gold Rush (1925) City Lights (1931) Modern Times (1936) Lawrence of Arabia (1962) Dr Zhivago (1965) Ryan's Daughter (1970) A Passage to India (1984)
Clarence Newman
2024-12-05 14:29:58 +0000 UTCLord no. It's bad enough reactors generally feature most of the same movies, the last thing we need is for reactors start uploading multiple reactions of the same film - There's 100 years of cinema to get though including thousands of unwatched titles on Cassie's app
Witchfinder General
2024-12-05 14:25:22 +0000 UTCHave I said Horror of Dracula recently? I haven’t? Well then Horror of Dracula, there, now I said it
Richard Maurer
2024-12-05 14:23:55 +0000 UTCAt least you’re over that awful Officer and a Gentleman phase you were going through.
Richard Maurer
2024-12-05 14:11:24 +0000 UTCDavid Lean / Charlie Chaplin poll pls 🙏 John Candy never fails to make me smile and laugh. Looking forward to Uncle Buck!
Rose
2024-12-05 12:05:42 +0000 UTCAlso wondering if she’s seen them - esp the original RudoIph - my favorite! I recommended the complete Rankin/Bass Christmas Collection for her kids on one of the earlier posts when she was asking for Christmas movie suggestions for the current poll.
Rose
2024-12-05 11:51:44 +0000 UTCTrue, I rewatch ones I've already seen.
JohnnyUtah
2024-12-05 11:43:14 +0000 UTCWind River is incredible but I think it would be too much, maybe not.
JohnnyUtah
2024-12-05 11:42:24 +0000 UTCI second Wind River.
John P Tucker
2024-12-05 11:03:36 +0000 UTCAlso One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, which Cassie may or may not have seen but if she has, it was way back in school and she wouldn't have been paying attention to it anyway. "Put the ball in the basket, Chief!!"
Clarence Newman
2024-12-05 09:37:55 +0000 UTCCan we sneak the World's Fastest Indian on there?
Clarence Newman
2024-12-05 08:22:21 +0000 UTCClay. I'm not sure Cassie wouldn't snag A Perfect World as a Popcorn Pick. She likes Clint Eastwood, she LOVES Kevin Costner, so why not? Other stuff has clearly got in the way up to now, but I'm more of the opinion that she'll watch it if it gets suggested at the right time.
Clarence Newman
2024-12-05 08:01:53 +0000 UTCTHE BOY WHO COULD FLY, starring Jay Underwood from UNCLE BUCK.
Stick Figure Studios
2024-12-05 06:42:02 +0000 UTCShe'd also like BRONCO BILLY.
Stick Figure Studios
2024-12-05 06:41:14 +0000 UTCI'm a Spielberg completist myself (he's my favorite director) so as far as his "remakes" go, I can recommend WEST SIDE STORY as it contains some of his most impeccable staging and camerawork. ALWAYS, like HOOK, is definitely schmaltzy, so if you don't like HOOK, you probably won't like it either although it has some charming moments and some truly spectacular aerial photography. Cassie would love it.
Stick Figure Studios
2024-12-05 06:26:33 +0000 UTCI have mixed feelings about HOOK. It was definitely a disappointment given the talent involved, but there are also some wonderful moments right alongside the embarrassing ones. Here's my review of it if you're curious: https://boxd.it/5CApDV
Stick Figure Studios
2024-12-05 06:22:38 +0000 UTCIt is, actually, Chris.
Byrd N. Hand
2024-12-05 06:17:21 +0000 UTCMy fear is people would vote for "Dune" (i.e. his weakest film) just because of the more recent version(s). Otherwise, it'll probably be between "Mulholland Drive" (still the best film of the 21st century, as far as I'm concerned) and "The Elephant Man" (his second most 'normal' film after "The Straight Story").
Byrd N. Hand
2024-12-05 06:13:55 +0000 UTCI guarantee films like "Lawrence of Arabia," "The Red Shoes," "M*A*S*H," "The Fly," "Mulholland Drive," "The Royal Tenenbaums," "Boogie Nights," and "Black Swan" *will* get a good amount of views. They may not do total gangbusters, but they'll likely fare better than things like "Sabrina" or "Four Weddings and a Funeral." For the record, "Hook" is my least favorite Spielberg film. It always came off as bit juvenile and cloying for me. Of course, I've never seen his 2 remakes, "Always" (seemingly often cited as his schmaltziest film) and "West Side Story" (well, I guess it's technically an 'alternate adaptation;' either way, I was never a fan of the musical).
Byrd N. Hand
2024-12-05 06:01:37 +0000 UTCEh, even if they've both seen it, its a good watch along movie. I wouldn't mind at all if they started watching some of the bigger movies they've already seen but don't have reactions for.
Earthen
2024-12-05 05:37:37 +0000 UTCPeople sleep on Changeling, but I think it's one of his better films that he directed. Fascinating true life story about a serial killer, and police corruption in the cover up. But I think most of you were talking about Eastwood as actor?
Chris Thom
2024-12-05 04:40:06 +0000 UTCThere is NO way Carly has never seen Christmas vacation!!! I guess we'll all be able to tell by the authentic/or non-authentic reactions 😅 I also love Uncle Buck to me a very underrated John Candy film.
JohnnyUtah
2024-12-05 03:23:09 +0000 UTCYep, she’s seen that too.
Aaron Mann
2024-12-05 03:17:46 +0000 UTCYes to more Clint Eastwood. I like his non-spaghetti westerns -- my favorite being THE OUTLAW JOSEY WALES (1976). One of my non-western favorites starring Eastwood is ESCAPE FROM ALCATRAZ (1979) [RT = 97%] (Danny Glover's first movie -- a minor role). I like INVICTUS (2009) starring Matt Damon and Morgan Freeman (as Mandella) in which Eastwood directs but does not appear in the movie.
Clay F
2024-12-05 02:17:18 +0000 UTC+1 for Eastwood poll *THE OUTLAW JOSEY WALES (1976) [RT=91%] Nom for Best Music Oscar *ESCAPE FROM ALCATRAZ (1979) [RT = 97%] Danny Glover's first movie --Pale Rider (1985) [RT = 93%] --High Plains Drifter (1973) [RT = 94%] [there is questionable scene] --Invictus (2009) [M. Damon. M. Freeman is Mandella] [nom 2 Oscars]
Clay F
2024-12-05 01:59:33 +0000 UTCA Perfect World (1993) ("Clint Eastwood's haunting, ambiguous crime drama is smart and gritty, and features a bravura performance from KEVIN COSTNER"). Cassie has liked this comment more than once. Yet, I don't think would be a popcorn pick. Would have to win a poll.
Clay F
2024-12-05 01:53:38 +0000 UTCI doubt she’d recognize Roger Moore… even considering the role he’s playing.
Larry Darrell
2024-12-05 01:43:29 +0000 UTCYou missed the mark completely.
Richard Maurer
2024-12-05 00:55:53 +0000 UTCDoes The Revenant count as a native movie?
Chris Thom
2024-12-05 00:50:56 +0000 UTCWow.
Richard Maurer
2024-12-05 00:34:36 +0000 UTCWhat agenda are you talking about exactly? You say you have no issue yet had the compulsion to post on the only (so far as i could see) post highlighting the hope that female directors would make the poll. Your own words betray you. Are the two i listed not good enough for you? Two highly celebrated directors, with critically acclaimed movies? Perhaps choose to not post or chose your words more carefully.
Michael G
2024-12-04 23:28:19 +0000 UTCWell, I really think you'd enjoy Wind River. So perhaps a Native American movie poll? You've already done Dances with Wolves, Last of the Mohicans, and Prey (off the top of my head, possibly more). And I don't think you've done a Native American poll before, so I figure that might be a way to get you to react to Wind River.
Aaron Mann
2024-12-04 23:20:49 +0000 UTCMight be unpopular opinion but I really don’t rate Costner as an actor. I just find him a bit boring as he kinda acts the same for everything he does lol. But regarding Eastwoods movies I’d like her to react to some of his 70s/80 films like Dirty Harry, Firefox, Heartbreak Ridge and Outlaw Josey Wales.
Dean Holt
2024-12-04 22:11:24 +0000 UTCAlso, Bronco Billy. She'd love it.
Stick Figure Studios
2024-12-04 21:54:32 +0000 UTCSpielberg is my favorite director and I love most of his films, but 1941 Is the one movie of his that I would call outright bad.
Stick Figure Studios
2024-12-04 21:53:31 +0000 UTCI second a Clint Eastwood poll. One of my favorite directors. I'm currently going through all his films myself.
Stick Figure Studios
2024-12-04 21:50:05 +0000 UTCShe'd recognise Burt ("Hey! It's the guy from Three Men and a Baby!"), definitely Jackie Chan and Roger Moore, possibly Valerie Perrine from "Superman" and Rick Aviles from "Ghost". She probably knows Dean Martin, and if she doesn't know who Farrah Fawcett is, I'm happy to send her a few hundred pictures I've got.
Clarence Newman
2024-12-04 21:49:18 +0000 UTCI wasn’t necessarily suggesting Heavy Metal but just pointing out that John Candy did voices. There are a lot of animated breasts. I liked Heavy Metal back in the day but was a little much on a recent rewatch. Cassie has liked real (not animated) content having IMDb parents guide “severe” rating for “sex and nudity”: True Detective S1 and Deadpool. BS Dracula also has “severe” rating.
Clay F
2024-12-04 21:37:11 +0000 UTCWell, I think she should see every film Spielberg directed (except for maybe 1941, the one movie of his that I would call outright bad). Many of the directors you mentioned are great (a couple of them I even thought about including in my list), but ultimately probably not mainstream enough for this channel/community. I also considered Terry Gilliam, Francois Truffaut, Werner Herzog, Federico Fellini, Jacques Tati, Albert Brooks, Andre Tarkovsky, Agnes varta, Elaine May, Jean-Luc Godard and Terrance Malick, but figured that they weren't "popular" enough for a poll.
Stick Figure Studios
2024-12-04 21:33:46 +0000 UTCJungle Burger? It's got Bill Murray and John Belushi in it.
Clarence Newman
2024-12-04 21:17:24 +0000 UTCWhat are the odds Cassie would recognize more than one celebrity in Cannonball Run? I’m not even sure she’d recognize Burt Reynolds.
Richard Maurer

Clarence Newman
2024-12-04 20:46:01 +0000 UTCSince she's already done "Unforgiven", I gotta go with "A Perfect World" for the Clint Eastwood pick. Also has another she likes (I think) - Kevin Costner.

Clarence Newman
2024-12-04 20:38:05 +0000 UTCI am a fan of subliminal advertising, Mark. I will write a book about it once I manage to get Cassie to watch any of the films I suggest.

bgb1975
2024-12-04 20:34:17 +0000 UTCDelusional. To prove my point, I just liked my own post instead of yours.
Clarence Newman
2024-12-04 20:30:42 +0000 UTCWhere does she get off watching movies without us?? The betrayal.
Chris Thom
2024-12-04 20:04:34 +0000 UTCCassie, another good selection of movies. In my humble opinion a Clint Eastwood Poll would be great. So many awesome movies to choose from there. Oh, and another shout out for “The Searchers” please. I know I’ve said this before, but, Thank you for this channel, it’s a go to place for me, to switch off and talk movies and watch you and Carly. Which always cheers me up. Thank you. 😊
Mark White
2024-12-04 19:26:55 +0000 UTC@Mark, I think we'll get it this month, but I'm assuming she wants Carly for it also.
Joe
2024-12-04 19:26:37 +0000 UTCBlasphemy. No movie is better than LotR, period, end of sentence.
Richard Maurer
2024-12-04 19:14:44 +0000 UTCFirst - chill, I have no issue with female directors or any directors as long as their movies are good. What I’m talking is the fact that most people here have one main priority - to get Cassie to watch their favorite movies. Any other agendas are a lesser priority. That’s why people are listing movies here.
Richard Maurer
2024-12-04 19:11:40 +0000 UTC“The Searchers” It’s probably my Favourite Wayne Western. In the UK it’s a guarantee to be on over Christmas time. I really hope Cassie watches this soon.

Richard Maurer
2024-12-04 19:01:59 +0000 UTCI’ve got a horrible feeling Joe, that one has been put aside for now. Doesn’t look like it’s coming anytime soon. Which is a shame, we know Cassie would enjoy that one.

Dean Holt
2024-12-04 18:59:46 +0000 UTCLove The Last Starfighter. One of our theaters gives it a screening every couple of years and I try and go.
Liz Painter
2024-12-04 18:57:45 +0000 UTCClarence, I do love how you manage to randomly squeeze in “Cannonball run” into lists! One of my Favourites as a kid.
Mark White
2024-12-04 18:54:23 +0000 UTCShe's already seen way more Spielberg films than any other director on the channel. I submit the likes of David Lean, Powell & Pressburger, John Cassavetes, Robert Altman, David Cronenberg, David Lynch, Wes Anderson, Paul Thomas Anderson, and Darren Aronofsky. And who's Marion Scorsese? 😏
Byrd N. Hand
2024-12-04 18:53:59 +0000 UTCClay, I’ve got to ask? Outlaw Josey Wales? or Palerider? If you had to choose?! I think I’m in the minority, I just, by a slim margin, go for Palerider. I would explain why, but I don’t think I can without Spoilers!
Mark White
2024-12-04 18:48:53 +0000 UTCFrankly, I feel a lot of romantic 'costume dramas' start feeling the same after a while. Nonetheless, I'll submit my 2 favorites: Kubrick's "Barry Lyndon" and Polanski's "Tess."
Byrd N. Hand
2024-12-04 18:48:53 +0000 UTCHow many R-rated films has Cassie viewed thus far? Alien, Platoon, Full Metal Jacket, et al., -- one might think that she'd grown desensitised to this sort of thing by now, yes?
Robert N Douglass
2024-12-04 18:47:16 +0000 UTC"The Boys in the Band," "The Brink's Job," "Sorcerer," "To Live and Die in L.A.," and "Killer Joe" also deserve mention.
Byrd N. Hand
2024-12-04 18:45:27 +0000 UTCClint Eastwood Poll please!!! But…..for me, it’s difficult to suggest which Clint movies to watch?! I personally like Outlaw Josey Wales, Palerider and so many more classic westerns plus the Dirty Harry movies. BUT, if I was to pick Clint Eastwood movies for Cassie, I would pick something like Space Cowboys Which I’m not really a big fan of. I mean it’s ok, but nothing I would get excited about. “Every which way but Loose”and it’s sequel would be a good call for Cassie as well.
Mark White
2024-12-04 18:42:35 +0000 UTCYes, Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson first met on "Volunteers." I personally think it's one of Hanks' lesser '80s movies, though.
Byrd N. Hand
2024-12-04 18:41:55 +0000 UTCWow I’d forgotten all about The Boy Who could Fly. I think I definitely need to rewatch it as it’s been so long. Thanks for the comment 👍🏻
Dean Holt
2024-12-04 18:33:35 +0000 UTCI've never seen the "Which Way" duology, but, even though Eastwood didn't direct them, they appear to have their fans. Not mentioned yet is his directorial debut, "Play 'Misty' for Me"... and even though he only directed one outing, the Harry Callahan pentalogy.
Byrd N. Hand
2024-12-04 18:25:28 +0000 UTCI have seen the original Vacation movie. Good stuff. I have no idea why I haven't watched Christmas Vacation. I will correct that this year.
Walter
2024-12-04 18:18:09 +0000 UTCBrewsters millions, I’ll second that! Richard Pryor, John Candy. Another Good choice for Cassie.
Mark White
2024-12-04 18:14:15 +0000 UTCAs the saying goes, there are 2 good "Vacation" movies (original and Christmas) and 2 bad ones (European and Vegas). From what I've heard, the 2015 sequel/remake hybrid isn't that great, either.
Byrd N. Hand
2024-12-04 18:09:39 +0000 UTCThe Boy Who Could Fly (1986) written and directed by Nick Castle is one of my favorites… As is The Last Starfighter (1984).

2024-12-04 18:06:46 +0000 UTCI feel Cassie might get "Dazed and Confused" more if she saw "American Graffiti" first. Then you could tell her it's basically a '70s "American Graffiti."
Byrd N. Hand
2024-12-04 18:04:05 +0000 UTCYes, Zemeckis had only done "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" at that point... and was still a year away from "Used Cars"... and 5 years away from "Romancing the Stone." He didn't have the 'cred' yet to direct a larger-scale film like this at that time. In spite of its shortcomings, I still think the subplots concerning Slim Pickens and John Belushi are legitimately hilarious.
Byrd N. Hand
2024-12-04 17:56:05 +0000 UTCConcerning “Messes”; my favorite “Mess” is Ron Howard’s “The Paper”(1994). Such a great “Mess”.
Uncle Phoenix
2024-12-04 17:44:48 +0000 UTCUh huh, what result are you speaking to? They are directors, who as a result meet the qualifications for being placed on a Directors poll. No one is talking about who should win said poll only a submission of names to include. So what exactly are you taking issue with?

David Freese
2024-12-04 17:11:43 +0000 UTCIt’s unfortunate that 1941 gets so much hate, I’ve always enjoyed it and think it’s a good comedy especially the bits with John Belushi as the crazy Fighter pilot. Another good comedy war movie is Kelly’s Heroes I’ve been hoping for Cassie to watch this for years lol.
Dean Holt
2024-12-04 17:08:06 +0000 UTCI think she should do an Eddie Murphy week in January. 48hrs, first two BHC or the 1st BHC and The Golden Child, Harlem Nights or Life. Also how do you look at the most requested movies.
Dean Holt
2024-12-04 17:01:37 +0000 UTCIt’s on the poll and unfortunately loosing, but yes I agree it’s an excellent Christmas film.
Dean Holt
2024-12-04 16:53:20 +0000 UTCGreat pick, I’ll throw in Brewsters Millions as well.
Dean Holt
2024-12-04 16:52:13 +0000 UTCThank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you finally my favourite John Candy movie. Regards to director poll I’d love to see more Clint Eastwood movies on here or Tony Scott or Nick Castle just because I what Cassie to watch The Last Starfighter lol

2024-12-04 16:13:35 +0000 UTCIt comforts me, Richard, to know I'm not the only one obsessed with a particular film. Mine's better, of course. The women have better hair and, for the fight scenes, I'd put Mayo v Foley up against the Battle of Helm's Deep any day.

Zane From Canada
2024-12-04 14:50:49 +0000 UTCHmmm. Robert Zemeckis was one of the writers for “1941”. A Robert Zemeckis version would definitely be different; but you have to remember that “1941” came out in the 1970’s. People were still rolling around listening to KISS on 8-Tracks; and Robert Zemeckis was still in his Twenties. So,…Therefore, maybe it would have been better. 🤷♂️
Uncle Phoenix
2024-12-04 14:28:22 +0000 UTCI thought I'd remind Cassie's "fans" - as much a I loved Heavy Metal (1981) when it came out (16 yo heavy metal music fan)...it is an R rated cartoon with a fantastic soundtrack (if you like that genre), but the animated t&a and sex scenes might be beyond her limit of what she wants to watch. Can we all remember who we're recommending movies for???
crazyivan
2024-12-04 14:26:21 +0000 UTCYou're better off watching the OG Vacation...John Candy is in that one, too...and Christie Brinkley.
crazyivan
2024-12-04 14:09:00 +0000 UTCIp Man, The Raid; Redemption, Hero, Kung Fu Hustle, House of Flying Daggers…..there are so many great ASIAN martial arts movies. No need to put sub par American ones on the poll. But if we have to have an American one it should be Bloodsport.
Richard Maurer
2024-12-04 14:07:37 +0000 UTCThis was about inclusion on the poll, not the final result.
Michael G
2024-12-04 13:31:51 +0000 UTCIt is a poll about directors. They are directors, no reason to not include them.

bknsty14
2024-12-04 12:04:40 +0000 UTCYou list some excellent directors. With Linklater, i would be going for Dazed and Confused. School of Rock would be a consolation. With S Coppola. I would be going for Lost in Translation. I added Ridley Scott as a last choice as an afterthought -- would be going for "Kingdom of Heaven" (director's cut) and maybe "American Gangster." My guess is Gladiator 2 would win. In all, my No. 1 desire of these is Lost in Translalation. My No. 2 is Dazed and Confused (which Cassie may not get but that's fine).

2024-12-04 11:31:16 +0000 UTCAre you going to bring "The Shop Around the Corner" to YT this year as you did with "White Christmas" last year?
Byrd N. Hand
2024-12-04 11:24:07 +0000 UTC"Gremlins" remains one of my top choices for her to re-watch with Carly (assuming she hasn't also seen it), along with "What's Up, Doc?;" 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest;" and "Whiplash." Given that Cassie is now re-watching "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" with her, who knows?
Byrd N. Hand
2024-12-04 11:18:58 +0000 UTCI love Linklater, but he might be too 'indie' for many viewers, outside of "Dazed and Confused" and his more blatantly commercial cash grabs of "The School of Rock" and his "Bad News Bears" remake. I also enjoy Coppola, but sometimes gets a little too 'girly' for my tastes. I still refuse to see "Marie Antoinette" and "The Bling Ring" (the latter perhaps more for its awful title 🤐). I'd rather Cassie look more into her dad's films, particularly "The Conversation" and "Godfather III." Outside of "Prometheus" and "The Martian," I feel Ridley Scott has largely lost his way over the last 15 years... but I would certainly go for reactions to "The Duellists," "Legend," the Director's Cut of "Kingdom of Heaven," and "American Gangster." Other directors I'd nominate for this hypothetical poll: John Cassavetes, Robert Altman, Martin Scorsese, David Cronenberg, David Lynch, Wes Anderson, Paul Thomas Anderson, and Darren Aronofsky.
Byrd N. Hand
2024-12-04 11:08:45 +0000 UTCDid the "Santa Clause" movies really mess up people's ability to spell 'Claus' *that* much??? 🤦♂️
Byrd N. Hand
2024-12-04 10:54:34 +0000 UTC"1941" is a mess, but, like many of Robert Altman's, Terry Gilliam's, and Richard Kelly's films, it's an amusing mess, at least. I still wonder if it would've been any better if Robert Zemeckis himself had directed it instead. 🤔
Byrd N. Hand
2024-12-04 10:52:47 +0000 UTCI honestly feel that "The Great Outdoors" hasn't particularly aged well. As far as Candy's supporting roles, I feel Cassie's next ventures should be "The Blues Brothers," "Stripes," and "Little Shop of Horrors." As far as his *leading* roles go, "Summer Rental" (to which anyone has yet to react) is his best outside of his John Hughes collaborations, IMO.
Byrd N. Hand
2024-12-04 10:48:44 +0000 UTCAlso, I was going through Clint Eastwood's IMDB page a few years ago because I was convinced I'd watched everything he ever made. Turned out the one and only film I hadn't was.....Trouble With The Curve.
Clarence Newman
2024-12-04 10:37:26 +0000 UTCClay wants 48 Hours, I want Beverly Hills Cop. Therefore Cassie should cop both over a 48 hour period.
Clarence Newman

Clarence Newman
2024-12-04 10:33:30 +0000 UTCBrace yourself. As with many other great movies, she has disgracefully watched that one off-channel.
Clarence Newman
2024-12-04 10:30:52 +0000 UTCIt's nothing, Clay. I'm having a moment. I feel like Fiona in Four Weddings, gazing at the boy I love as he pours his attention on another, knowing that he will never......nope, that's a bad analogy. I'll try again. I feel like Ben Hanscom in "It", gazing at the girl I love, knowing she will never look my way because she consistently loves another. First it was Son-In-Law, then it was Howard the Duck, now my dreams are being Chevy Chased out the door to make way for Uncle Buck. I must accept an undeniable fact. No matter how much I want Cassie to see Ensign Seegar get over that wall, there is clearly too much sugar in the britches and she isn't going to make it. Maybe if I switch my allegiance to GI Jane!? Or Stripes! That's got John Candy in it. Anyway. To therefore sum up............sigh.

2024-12-04 07:34:25 +0000 UTCI just think Cassie would like Beverly Hills Cop more than 48 Hrs. Not saying I'd be unhappy with it I believe its more a Cassie movie with the music and lighter tones on the picture. But just an opinion.

DreBone1986
2024-12-04 01:27:11 +0000 UTCI thought of another Christmas movie, “1941”. Steven Speilberg’s FIRST WW2 movie. No Spoilers; but it is a great light-hearted Steven Spielberg movie. It has a first rate cast, including John Candy. Edit: Also, it has one of the greatest score’s ever, written by The John Williams. #2 Edit: BTW the film is set in Southern California on December 13, 1941. So, next week would be perfect.

2024-12-04 01:02:33 +0000 UTCUncle Buck & Christmas Vacation!! It's gonna be a great week. I'm unfortunately not interested in the two movies leading the poll. I think you'd love every other movie on the poll except for the two in the lead😆although you might like The Long Kiss Goodnight. I love the Rankin & Bass Christmas Specials. I'm actually really surprised you haven't seen them. Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer & Santa Claus Is Coming To Town are the most well known and personal favorites of mine but there are several good one's to choose from. Also, if you've managed to somehow miss A Charlie Brown Christmas all these years than that one would be great to add too and is only about 20 minutes long. Another one that tends to get overlooked is A Garfield Christmas Special that originally aired in the 80's. It's also only 20 minutes long and you can find the whole thing on YouTube for free.

Mike Lemon
2024-12-04 00:47:12 +0000 UTCMy outlook for this week’s line up just got a whole lot better! I am so disappointed that my pick in the Christmas poll is doing so poorly, and that the two movies in the lead, well…one is not a Christmas movie IMO, and the other, it says it all in the title…its bad! But now we have Uncle Buck AND Christmas Vacation?!?! YES!!! Uncle Buck was my 2nd choice to win way back when you did the March Madness tournament, right behind Mr. Holland’s Opus. I always liked a little Candy in my holiday stocking. And you and Carly just did a podcast on Holiday Faux Pas. Christmas Vacation is an entire movie of holiday faux pas! Plus…we get Carly in on the fun! Two thumbs up for a watch along of one of the Rankin and Bass Christmas specials during the live this Friday. I’d be happy with either Santa Clause is Coming to Town or The Year Without a Santa Clause. Can’t go wrong with either one 😁.

Mike Lemon
2024-12-04 00:24:57 +0000 UTCWe had Tender November, December will have a bunch of Christmas movies, and February will be rom-coms and romance. How about for January we get another Asian martial arts poll or Classic monster poll - or better yet both. I feel like I’ m going to drown in corn syrup otherwise.
Richard Maurer
2024-12-04 00:20:30 +0000 UTCAwesome. Get the John Candy charm. And time for a rewatch of Christmas Vacation -- been a few years. Yes, to director's poll. Draw from the hat or arbitrarily choose. I nominate: *RICHARD LINKLATER. This year, my son saw him in an Austin grocery store (and no one else recognized him), and I went to his super-cool Austin indie movie theater (only 2 screens). *SOFIA COPPOLA. I like her style. *QUENTIN TARANTINO. If there are enough of his movies remaining you haven't seen. *RIDLEY SCOTT. Any way to try to get THELMA & LOUISE (1991) (groundbreaking). Also "Kingdom of Heaven" (director's cut) and "American Gangster" (Denzel, Russell Crowe, Josh Brolin).

Chris Thom
2024-12-03 23:31:08 +0000 UTCIn regards to your Director's poll, William Friedkin was a very good film-maker. He probably won't get many votes because he is extremely underrated, but he did make 2 classics from the 70's. One is "The French Connection", a classic cop thriller based on a true story. The other I won't mention because I know how nervous it makes you to just think about. But give "The French Connection" a chance!
Chris
2024-12-03 23:30:26 +0000 UTCAnother movie Candy was in that Cassie might enjoy (if she's never seen it) is Canadian Bacon. It's about an American president who is dealing with poor polling numbers who decides to try to drum up support by whipping Americans into a patriotic fervor by making them think Canada is planning to invade America. It's extremely silly and very funny.

It has interviews with the director Mike Newell and some of the cast, Simon Callow, James Fleet, Anna Chancellor and Charlotte Coleman (who sadly died later that same year she was interviewed in 2001) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmZ55i4tiHM
JONATHAN REDFERN WILLIAMS
2024-12-03 23:26:03 +0000 UTCDirector's Poll? Sounds good, but don't be afraid to do a period piece Romance poll: Sense & Sensibility (1995), Persuasion (1995), Far From the Madding Crowd (2015, Ghost & Mrs Muir (1947) and Frantz (2016) which is haunting yet not scary and romantic yet not quite a romance. You have 3 of those in your collection, so I have my fingers crossed

2024-12-03 23:24:34 +0000 UTCSince he has floated the idea of a director's poll, doing John Ford movies might actually give THE SEARCHERS like a chance.

2024-12-03 23:23:37 +0000 UTCChristmas Vacation will be fun. Never watched Uncle Buck myself. Wasn’t a John Hughes fan back in the 80s except maybe Ferris and Breakfast Club. I was an “edgy” teenager so that makes sense.
Scott Macaulay
2024-12-03 23:23:36 +0000 UTCYeah, two great movies. 😊 Christmas vacation is hilarious!
Bruce Reid
2024-12-03 23:23:29 +0000 UTCThis should be a fun week. Definitely getting your John Hughes on this week (since he wrote CHRISTMAS VACATION and wrote/directed UNCLE BUCK). I am all in favor of a directors poll: some suggestions are Steven Spielberg, Alfred Hitchcock, the Coen brothers, Orson Welles, John Ford, Charlie Chaplin, Marion Scorsese, Brian DePalma and Clint Eastwood.
Stick Figure Studios
2024-12-03 23:22:39 +0000 UTCJohn Candy is always a good choice. Since Cary Grant's Bishop's Wife is not close to first or second place, how about watching it early in January?
John Liebling
2024-12-03 23:21:58 +0000 UTCThis has been a two year + ongoing campaign for me to get PIB to react to "The Searchers". She says it's on the watch list, and I do trust her. I just gently remind her everyone once and awhile to move it from the watch list to the reacted list. :) I agree, it's the best Western ever and overall Top 10 great film.
Bill Maurer
2024-12-03 23:21:43 +0000 UTCIf there won’t be another Christmas Poll, please consider watching the highest voted Classic film from the Poll, which should be… The Bishop’s Wife (1947). Thank You. Lineup this week looks awesome. :-)

Cassie
2024-12-03 23:18:16 +0000 UTCCan't wait for Uncle Buck! A heart-warming yuletide classic! Cassie, may I suggest another Xmas classic. "A Christmas Story" from 1983. A story about a young boy growing up in the 40's, who gets his most favourite present from the big red fat guy. You'll love it, I promise you.
Chris
2024-12-03 23:17:42 +0000 UTC100% agree...Uncle Buck is one of my favorites from when I was a little kid all the way to today. Such a great movie... and John Candy was such a funny guy. I don't know if many people remember it, but there was a Saturday morning cartoon show called "Camp Candy" in the early 90's, it was in the U.S. but not sure if they played it in Canada -- it was actually pretty good! It was about a summer camp for kids or something, called Camp Candy, and John Candy did the voice for the head counselor guy who ran the camp... he was really good in it!

2024-12-03 23:11:42 +0000 UTCUncle Buck is such a fantastic movie, John Candy was a (Canadian) national treasure who was unfortunately taken from us far too soon. Also, be sure to watch out for a very brief scene in this movie which I'm convinced planted the seeds for John Hughes to create Home Alone.
