Cassie’s Poll
Added 2024-11-20 19:51:35 +0000 UTCInstead of a Cassie’s Popcorn Pick of the Month” I wanted to let you help me choose!
Comments
I've tried to watch "Shakespeare in Love" half a dozen times and I am always conked out by the midway point. I have renamed it "Shakespeare Asleep". People complain that "Ordinary People" won the Best Picture over "Ragin Bull", and that "Rocky" won over "Taxi Driver" or that "Dances With Wolves" won over "Goodfellas".... but "Shakespeare in Love" winning over "Saving Private Ryan" - that is the one I think there is no excuse for. "Shakespeare" is just so boring.

2024-12-10 20:00:42 +0000 UTCI wouldn't say that. Cassie has had a lot of good polls in the past. Just have to take whatever comes our way. She'll have more fun polls in the future.
Mark Vaderr
2024-11-30 05:18:58 +0000 UTCI saw the movie. I also read the novel it was based on. The movie is good. The book is better. Of all the movies in this poll, The 100 Foot Journey and Shakespeare in Love are the best (however, most people wouldn't get all the references in SiL.) There weren't any real losers on this list, though.

2024-11-26 22:53:29 +0000 UTCAnyone who didn't vote for Simon Birch probably hasn't ever seen it. It defines a tender and frunny coming of age classic.
Pete Miller
2024-11-25 05:40:37 +0000 UTCI don’t think it was a travesty at all. Both were deserving
Cole Jennett
2024-11-24 20:08:34 +0000 UTCI think I think I’ve already said this But it bears, repeating, give me a break with “four weddings, and a funeral” That’s British movies go it’s mildly entertaining. You gotta go with Clooney and Pfeiffer and “one fine day” Good music funny good dialogue and the pacing is good

2024-11-24 20:07:27 +0000 UTCAgreed! I think most people just haven't seen it and so won't recommend it, but she would love it.

2024-11-24 16:52:31 +0000 UTCSimon Birch is one of the sweetest, most touching and tender movies ever. Massively underrated. Cassie would love Simon Birch.
Pete Miller
2024-11-24 00:47:21 +0000 UTCFour Wedins and a funeral is an amazing movie. That's what you might find if you let go of the mass produced Hollywood booring same kind of film they release over and over again. It is about time someone find the courage to some european films.
Mattias Ljungberg
2024-11-23 10:46:33 +0000 UTCThat is a travesty and crazy that Saving Private Ryan didn't win Best Picture Oscar.
Clay F
2024-11-23 04:49:28 +0000 UTCDon't know if I would consider them required viewing or anything, but they're all pretty charming. Shakespeare in Love won a few Oscars including Best Picture.
Chris Thom
2024-11-22 22:53:06 +0000 UTCGreat songs provided by Thomas Dolby and Lea thompson was fantastic
LDC7080
2024-11-22 19:43:25 +0000 UTCI have seen most of these. I think you would like Hope Floats the best. I am very anti- Shakespeare in Love. It is a decent movie but it won the Oscar for best picture over Saving Private Ryan because of Hollywood politics. For that reason alone is enough to move it to the bottom of the list in my opinion.
T.L.A
2024-11-22 18:18:53 +0000 UTCI haven't seen any of these. In the same genre, I think both Cassie and Carly would like "Milk Money" (1994) Ed Harris, Melanie Griffith
JAKH
2024-11-22 16:02:00 +0000 UTCOf these I've only actually seen Shakespeare in Love and Four Weddings. I didn't care for Shakespeare in Love, but Four Weddings was pretty enjoyable (although I didn't think much of Andie MacDowell's character OR her performance) and I guess it's significant in that it launched the careers of both Hugh Grant and Richard Curtis and ushered in a wave of British rom-coms.

2024-11-22 10:48:29 +0000 UTCSimon birch is massively underrated

2024-11-22 06:16:53 +0000 UTCI voted for One Fine Day (which is usually the kiss of death btw)
Shawn Kildal
2024-11-22 06:13:17 +0000 UTCAnd my now meaningless vote goes to One Fine Day, as Larry had the most convincing argument, if anyone bothers to read this at this point.

2024-11-21 19:35:37 +0000 UTCHmmmm🤔……..I do see where you are coming from Stick and from your perspective I guess that kinda makes sense. A lot of Brits both in the cast and crew. I guess the only way I can explain is: If I was to ask my wife which has a more British feel to it, between the 1995 BBC Pride and Prejudice and the 2005 movie. Lucy would explain, apart from the BBC version being far superior in every way! it just feels more homely/British and Lucy loves anything period drama and adores Jane Austin. So I guess what I’m trying to explain (badly!) is it’s more about the feeling or tone a movie or tv series gives you than the technical aspects of production. So I guess i am both agreeing with you and not agreeing! But I am abit bonkers! 🤪😂 Look, if I’m honest I don’t know much about these kinda movies and if you want a Brit movie from that time (90’s early 2000) that I would really want to watch: Shallow Grave Trainspotting. (however not for Cassie!) Shopping. Lock stock two smoking barrels. Touching the Void
Mark White
2024-11-21 19:28:37 +0000 UTCIf the 4 weddings and the funeral don’t all occur at the same venue, simultaneously, I will be very disappointed.

2024-11-21 18:25:30 +0000 UTCYes! Nine Months is so good and has Robin Williams in it too. I've been campaigning for that one for awhile

mikethemotormouth
2024-11-21 17:54:41 +0000 UTCReally think she should just choose one that piques her interest. I'd be fine with it if half her movies were chosen that way.
Chris Thom
2024-11-21 17:53:26 +0000 UTCWoah that's a callback from left field. Only thing I've ever heard about that was that it was Landis' first movie before Animal House.
Chris Thom
2024-11-21 17:50:49 +0000 UTCPerfect!
Terry Yelmene
2024-11-21 17:41:02 +0000 UTCWell, SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE does have a British director (John Madden) and a British co-screenwriter (Tom Stoppard) as well as a huge British cast (yes, Paltrow is American but then so is Andie MacDowell). Both films have British cinematographers, editors and composers. So, I feel like SIL is still pretty British. Maybe not *as* British as FWAAF, big the difference still seems to me (as an American) marginal.

2024-11-21 16:42:32 +0000 UTCMy sister and I always discuss how his appearance doesn’t fit the time period but he really is good. Makes me laugh every time. “…are you going to say it like that?”
China Andronicus
2024-11-21 16:33:57 +0000 UTCOh I completely agree about Paltrow, especially when I found out she nicked the script from Winona Ryder asking if she could read it and then booked an audition. They were best friends and haven’t spoken in years because of it. But come on. We could have had Winona Ryder? I can definitely see her earning an Oscar for that role.

Joe
2024-11-21 15:56:11 +0000 UTCYes, but she decided not to, for some reason.

Clarence Newman
2024-11-21 15:26:43 +0000 UTC@Chris Thom - that’s a compelling argument, I’d vote for the film you’re referring to, if I knew what it was.
Richard Maurer
2024-11-21 15:23:07 +0000 UTCCassie please watch Officer and a Gentleman so we don’t have to read any more of Clarence’s posts about it.

2024-11-21 14:47:57 +0000 UTCVery commendable of you to balance your Cage Rage with some symbols of love and affection 😂
Dan M
2024-11-21 14:19:52 +0000 UTCIf you don’t blink you can see me running away from the big explosion on the highway late in the film (which was actually shot in Marin County, not Cleveland.) I was also in the club scene with Cherry Bomb but I didn’t make it on film. At one point I passed by George Lucas as he was telling the little person who played Howard “this duck’s going to be bigger than Madonna.”
jdj830
2024-11-21 14:04:16 +0000 UTCI've heard how uncomfortable the Grinch make-up was for Jim Carrey, Dan, so I think I'll pass. Instead, after a month of intense campaigning, I'm gonna go with some good, old-fashioned Nicolas Cage: "I'm a little tired, I'm a little WIRED....and I think I deserve a LITTLE APPRECIATION!" Plus a few flower emoticons for good measure. 🌹🌹🌹 Covering all bases here. She's a sensitive soul, after all.
Clarence Newman
2024-11-21 14:03:56 +0000 UTCI’ve suggested Always a couple of times to Cassie. A classic so well suited for Tender November.
Dan M
2024-11-21 13:57:51 +0000 UTC😂 Richard, it makes sense that you’d want Cassie to watch HTD…it really is a terrifyingly bad horror show of a movie.
Dan M
2024-11-21 13:53:35 +0000 UTCGwyneth is also a pretty good singer. Check out the duet version of Smokey Robinson’s Cruisin’ she did with Huey Lewis.

JPDotCom23
2024-11-21 13:35:52 +0000 UTCIt's such a good film! Funny, romantic, and just plain entertaining. Geoffry Rush is so good in it. His character is so funny! And Ben Affleck's small part is also a very good one. It's one I enjoy going back to and watching now and again.
Phillip Bates
2024-11-21 11:56:17 +0000 UTCI love "One Fine Day". It's a really good RomCom and with George Clooney and Michelle Pfeiffer starring, it doesn't disappoint.
Phillip Bates
2024-11-21 11:52:59 +0000 UTCHugh Grant's dancing in it (and general presence) officially makes it a rom com.
Chris Thom
2024-11-21 11:50:16 +0000 UTCMatt Stone of SouthPark fame attended the Oscars high on LSD while wearing Gwyneth Paltrow's Oscar dress from the previous year. Fun fact. There's footage of it and they do indeed look super high.
Chris Thom
2024-11-21 11:48:24 +0000 UTCI think Cassie referenced About Time as her all time favorite movie once. Or I think she did. Not totally sure, but it was definitely complimentary. The poster is on her wall.
Chris Thom
2024-11-21 11:41:15 +0000 UTCProbably true. But she did just finish filming a movie with Timothy Chalamet supposedly.
Chris Thom
2024-11-21 11:37:19 +0000 UTCHope Floats has actually got a chance, Eve. Cassie has a history of hooking in the 3rd place movie if she wants to watch it enough.
Clarence Newman
2024-11-21 10:19:09 +0000 UTCSee that, Cassie? We all want it.
Clarence Newman
2024-11-21 10:12:08 +0000 UTCThank you so much, I appreciate it. Check it out though if you get a chance. It’s such a good film!

2024-11-21 09:24:33 +0000 UTCCassie. Just need to sum up here. I take it, by their glaring omission from the poll (literally HUNDREDS have commented on it), that An Officer and a Gentleman, The Great Race and The Champ are all on the schedule anyway?? 😁

Richard Maurer
2024-11-21 08:44:37 +0000 UTCI always find this interesting, guys - the sheer diversity of people's opinions when it comes to movies and the choices Cassie makes. I fully accept the ones on this poll (and lately, by the sound of it) are not your thing, but just for balance, I think her batting average is pretty good. Here's my current breakdown: Absolute favourites - 109 Very good (I could easily watch several times) - 84 Good (would enjoy if I watched again) - 136 Take or leave (fell flat on me) - 123 Absolute duds (no desire to watch again) - 74 That's 526 reactions total (I've left out some rewatches and special stuff), which means that 63% have been good for me, 24% at the level you are with this poll, and only 15% pure duds. I'm not sure what that means to anyone else, but if it proves anything at all, it's probably the fact that it's important we're all here with our varying opinions. It would be a pretty boring channel if she only watched one type of movie. EDIT: I realise my percentages come out to 102% up there. I have tried to fix it, but my brain said 'Nope'. I choose to believe that this means Cassie gives me more than I need.
Clarence Newman
2024-11-21 08:40:58 +0000 UTCI wish for Simon birch to win but I guess I’m voting for Shakespeare in love
Nicole
2024-11-21 08:40:04 +0000 UTCWell, it is Cassie’s poll after all. These are the kind of movies she likes, which just happens to leave a lot of us out.
Richard Maurer
2024-11-21 08:39:53 +0000 UTCI voted for it.. they are all good movies, only one of which I won't watch for obvious reasons.
Andrew Rose
2024-11-21 08:31:24 +0000 UTCDon’t forget his film debut, Revenge of the Creature, sequel to Creature From the Black Lagoon, which you’d need to watch first for continuities sake.

LDC7080
2024-11-21 06:46:23 +0000 UTC😂 true sticky! But, if I was to nit pick! Shakespeare in love is an American production, American writer and has that feel of a Hollywood movie. (Not that’s a bad thing) where as Four weddings is a British production, had a legendary British writer and just had that feel to it of being a typical Brit movie. However Shakesphere in love does have a scene at a beach, which was shot just up the road from where I live! So maybe I should vote for that!😆 Anywho, they are both very good movies.
Mark White
2024-11-21 06:44:58 +0000 UTCThe Hundred-Foot Journey is such a brilliant, heartwarming movie. I'm so surprised its dead last with hardly any votes.

2024-11-21 04:40:11 +0000 UTCI don't dislike Shakespeare In Love, it is a good movie. I just don't think it deserved as many awards as it got. Gwyneth Paltrow? Please. She wasn't THAT good. I get what you mean about Saving Private Ryan, but I think it's better than Shakespeare. I also thought that Life is Beautiful was a superior film.

2024-11-21 04:29:17 +0000 UTCIt’s been years since I’ve seen Four Weddings, which I voted for. I vaguely remember Shakespeare in Love. I was a Paltrow fan back then. A beauty. I like the multiple Oscars and the good reviews the movie gets. The movie I remember the most is Hope Floats and I seem to remember liking Hope Floats okay -- I like the leads. I have not seen Simon Birch or 100 Foot Journey. I really don't remember One Fine Day (1996).

I felt that most of its quality was loaded in the very dynamic opening and after that it was just fair, nothing special. I like a good war movie but this one just didn’t do it for me. I’m not obsessed with SiL by any means but I do think it’s a quality film and I watch it more than I do SPR.

2024-11-21 02:39:59 +0000 UTC@Shawn - while you’re technically right I’d rather see a reaction to Howard - it will be amusing at least.
Richard Maurer
2024-11-21 02:36:26 +0000 UTCIt’s been years since I’ve seen Four Weddings. The movie I remember the most is Hope Floats and I seem to remember liking Hope Floats okay -- I like the leads. I have not seen Simon Birch or 100 Foot Journey. I really don't remember One Fine Day (1996). I vaguley remember Shakespeare in Love. I was a Paltrow fan back then. A beauty. I like the multiple Oscars and the good reviews the movie gets.

2024-11-21 02:20:55 +0000 UTCEvery time an obscure movie lands on a poll it becomes somewhat less obscure. Someone on here is bound to watch it for the first time. Lucky them

Stick Figure Studios
2024-11-21 01:33:59 +0000 UTCDespite it not deserving best picture (and the shady tactics that Harvey Weinstein used to secure it that award), It is a good movie and I've always liked it.

2024-11-21 01:26:07 +0000 UTCI like NOTTING HILL and the first BRIDGET JONES. Haven't seen ABOUT TIME or YESTERDAY. Absolutely loathe LOVE ACTUALLY and MAMMA MIA (never bothered with the sequel). FOUR WEDDINGS is... okay I guess. I only saw it for the first time relatively recently and was not terribly impressed.
Stick Figure Studios
2024-11-21 01:24:41 +0000 UTCNotting Hill and About Time are two of my All-Time favorites. About Time being one of my Top films of the past 20 years. I loved Yesterday, I liked parts of Love, Actually, I’m so-so on Bridget Jones, and I hated the Mamma Mia sequel. It’s been a long while since I’ve seen Four Weddings and from what I can remember, I feel like it was just so-so. But I ain’t sure. It definitely doesn’t rank very high in my memory. Everything I know about the movie says it should be higher, but I’m gonna have to give it an honest watch again to know for sure where it ranks among Richard Curtis’ other films.
Larry Darrell
2024-11-21 01:22:50 +0000 UTCDespite being one of his lesser movies, I do have a lot of affection for ALWAYS and Cassie would love it.
Stick Figure Studios
2024-11-21 01:21:52 +0000 UTCI also read the book first and was greatly disappointed in the film. Simon Birch is a no for me too.
Callie Stephen
2024-11-21 01:16:54 +0000 UTCI love ‘Always’! Such a beautiful film and it had a special appearance by my all-time favourite Audrey Hepburn. ❤️
Callie Stephen
2024-11-21 01:15:28 +0000 UTCIt’s not going to win but ‘The Hundred-Foot Journey’ is a brilliant movie. It’s one of my all-time favourite feel-good films and stars the incomparable Helen Mirren. I urge you to watch it regardless of where it lands on the poll.
Callie Stephen
2024-11-21 01:14:08 +0000 UTCThere was some romance in 1941 (1979)… among other insanities. (-: Good Flick ;-) I always have to mention also, that Always (1989) is a remake of A Guy Named Joe (1943), starring Spencer Tracy, Irene Dunne and Van Johnson. I’m sure Cassie would love both, and I’m sure if it was put to a poll, Always (1989) would win, and that’d be OK. Both are Great.
Larry Darrell
2024-11-21 01:11:01 +0000 UTCIt’s always tough watching a movie adaptation of a book you love. I saw the movie first and realized it was based on John Irving’s book. Love John Irving. But glad I saw the movie first or I might feel similarly.
Cole Jennett
2024-11-21 01:09:28 +0000 UTCYeah, there’s always either a Ringer, that you know is going to win, before you see any results, or you just wait 4 - 6 hours, and whatever the results are, they are most likely going to stay that way, unless there is a close battle, in which it will stay close for the entire poll duration. That ain’t happening here. It’s definitely Four Weddings and the poll has only been up for 4 hours. I’ve suggested in the past, eliminating the bottom 2 - 3, depending how many total are in the poll, after the first day, and then reposting the poll. Then repeat again after the 2nd day, cutting the original poll in half, and forcing people to vote for a different film. This could make the polls be more competitive and might give a different result, that is closer to a majority. But that wouldn’t change anything in this poll. Best case, If you added the percentage of Hope, Simon and 100 Foot to One Fine Day, it would only be 31%, for second. Most likely it would be creating a more close battle between Shakespeare and Four Weddings. This is clearly a Ringer scenario.
Larry Darrell
2024-11-21 00:59:20 +0000 UTCIf you're looking for something romantic, how 'bout considering Steven Spielberg's "Always" (1989), starring Holly Hunter, Richard Dreyfuss, and John Goodman ? As far as I know, it's Spielberg's only film romance -- and it's a real gem.
BriGuy
2024-11-21 00:58:00 +0000 UTCgive me a break with Four Weddings and a Funeral . watch "One Fine Day" Clooneys a jerk these days but that movie is right up your Alley Cassie and it has great music as well
(Nolo)finwe
2024-11-21 00:51:12 +0000 UTCIt is my choice too, but as soon as I saw Four weddings and a funeral, I knew the latter would win. Actually, in many polls, I could see the winner right away, blasting by the same token, the chances of any other movie to even compete. :-)
René Ferland
2024-11-21 00:39:48 +0000 UTCI really dislike Simon Birch. But I read and loved the book, and the movie is a very poor representation of the book. Many times, I can separate my feelings about a movie and its source material, but sometimes I can’t. This is one of those.
Walter
2024-11-21 00:38:56 +0000 UTC@Terry - while I meant it to be funny there really was a 70’s porn movie called Dracula Sucks.

Y’all gotta watch this… https://youtu.be/gugpWvACiiw?si=wn2bBS9J2C453rXW Perfect timing to watch this film by the way. This week, when Cassie watches Four Weddings and a Funeral, it will certainly be One Fine Day ;-)

JohnnyUtah
2024-11-20 22:22:26 +0000 UTCShakespeare in Love (1998) is a big well-known movie. As commented below, Shakespeare in Love (1998) won 7 Oscars including best picture, best actress (Paltrow), and best supporting actress (Dench). 4 Weddings is good.
Clay F
2024-11-20 22:20:50 +0000 UTCWell I got to be honest, I’ve only seen a couple of these movies, shakepheare and four weddings and they are both good movies. Cassie will enjoy both. But being a Brit, I’ve got to go with Four weddings. I guess it’s kind of a classic now! 30 years old! 😮
Mark White
2024-11-20 22:17:04 +0000 UTCSame smoke & mirrors with "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" (1978). Cassie barks out a promise to watch it...instead it ends up on a poll and gets buried with no chance. Argh!!!!!

2024-11-20 22:16:26 +0000 UTCThat's happened multiple times with other movies. I notice The Great Race didn't make the poll.
Clay F
2024-11-20 22:14:22 +0000 UTCGlad to see that 4 Weddings is winning. Best movie in the poll. Shakespeare in Love (1998) is also good. Hope Floats (1998) is a sentimental movie, but ... I wanted to like One Fine Day (1996), but ... Would like to see a Noms of Oscars Past poll.
Clay F
2024-11-20 22:12:12 +0000 UTC4 weddings is the only film I recognize 😅

2024-11-20 22:00:44 +0000 UTCI'm with you on that suggestion, Don. I know Cassie's seen Love Actually, but I'd love to do a re-watch with her at Christmas. That one AND The Holiday.

Michael Lynch
2024-11-20 21:50:52 +0000 UTCYeah because every subscriber is like 80 years old and nothing post 2010 ever wins. This poll is for a Cassie pick and she already said she wants to watch The Peanut Butter Falcon more than most. Hence why it’s a bummer she’s leaving her popcorn pick up to a poll instead of just watching it herself. It’s so much better than all of these and way more personal to Cassie herself.
shaneth138
2024-11-20 21:49:45 +0000 UTCShe does have a very infamous delivery of a certain line at the end of Four Weddings...
JONATHAN REDFERN WILLIAMS
2024-11-20 21:48:12 +0000 UTCAdore this film, and it’s probably the best book to film adaptation I’ve ever seen.
China Andronicus
2024-11-20 21:47:00 +0000 UTCSiL had a fantastic script. People often overlook that because they don’t think a romance should have beaten a war drama. But Tom Stoppard is a fantastic writer and the ensemble was amazing.
China Andronicus
2024-11-20 21:46:12 +0000 UTCI suspect its performance on here will lead to that exact thing happening one month.
Cole Jennett
2024-11-20 21:46:00 +0000 UTCFour Weddings and a Funeral (1994) is a special exception, if not Blackadder, I would say it is the best thing Richard Curtis ever wrote
JONATHAN REDFERN WILLIAMS
2024-11-20 21:43:08 +0000 UTCThank you. It doesn’t deserve the hate people throw its way. Amazing screenplay by genius Tom Stoppard and a great cast, though I’m not huge on Paltrow and don’t think she should have won that year.
China Andronicus
2024-11-20 21:42:42 +0000 UTCShakespeare in Love. It doesn’t deserve the trash talk it gets. Tom Stoppard wrote a brilliant script and the cast is amazing, though I was extremely disappointed to recently find out we could have had Winona Ryder in the lead. You should definitely watch it.
China Andronicus
2024-11-20 21:40:40 +0000 UTCThe film that George Clooney finished filming prior to One Fine Day was From Dusk Till Dawn (1996). So, minus the time spent on the ER set, Remember when watching One Fine Day, the last time George Clooney was on a major motion picture set, he was killing Vampires with Tom Savini and Fred Williamson. And how can you not want to watch Michelle Pfeiffer… in anything. ;-)

Uncle Phoenix
2024-11-20 21:38:18 +0000 UTCTo be fair, Edmund, my list (which is legendary) has only 2 of these on it (though Shakespeare In Love is one of them). You've got to remember, this is Cassie's personal list, therefore it probably contains dire rom-coms only 4 people have seen (two of which are Cassie and Carly).
Clarence Newman
2024-11-20 21:38:09 +0000 UTCSorry Phoenix, I posted a reply on your post instead of Edmund's, so I've deleted it. Please don't mention Howard the Duck again. She might've forgotten about it.
Clarence Newman
2024-11-20 21:37:37 +0000 UTCSee, this right here is why I hate the over-reliance on polls. You have been saying for at least three years you really want to see Shakespeare in Love, just watch it already. You don't need our permission.
Mike Lemon
2024-11-20 21:37:00 +0000 UTCI was thinking exactly the same thing!
James UK
2024-11-20 21:36:56 +0000 UTCYou can’t fool me, Clarence, I know every film that Chris Lee played Dracula in.
Richard Maurer
2024-11-20 21:36:29 +0000 UTCBecause Dracula sucks, Richard. And you can't even be mad, because that is a fundamentally accurate statement!
Clarence Newman
2024-11-20 21:33:06 +0000 UTCOK, what's going on here, Cassandra? How come Four Weddings is having to negotiate a poll when you announced it as being on the schedule for September (Upcoming, Sep 3), did not watch it, then announced it as being on the November schedule once somebody rumbled you on a live event a few weeks ago? Did Superman kiss you recently and erase parts of your memory containing promises you've made to your undying flock? I am beside myself that you consider this kosher protocol. If Four Weddings wasn't winning in a landslide, I would be channelling my inner Dude right now. ("Well.....like.....that's your opinion, maaaaan.") But it is winning, so.....waheeeeeeeeey!
Clarence Newman
2024-11-20 21:31:09 +0000 UTCOk. Honestly I am not upset that we probably won’t see Howard The Duck; But I am sad that we never got a LIVE watch of Remember The Titans.
Uncle Phoenix
2024-11-20 21:24:09 +0000 UTCBuck up Richard... only 315 days until October 1, 2025 (when I have to check out of PiB again)
Terry Yelmene
2024-11-20 21:23:57 +0000 UTCSomething not as widely known would never win a poll. Once I saw Four Weddings was on the poll I knew it would win, and was pretty confident Shakespeare would be second. A little surprised Hope Floats is ahead of One Fine Day but not sad about it
Cole Jennett
2024-11-20 21:23:31 +0000 UTCThere are some sword fights in Shakespeare in Love😂
Cole Jennett
2024-11-20 21:21:45 +0000 UTCI don’t understand why so many comments say none of these films made my “list.” Shakespeare in Love won 7 Academy Awards, including best picture, best actress (Paltrow), best supporting actress (Dench) and best screenplay.
Edmund Dantes
2024-11-20 21:21:21 +0000 UTCHad a hard time deciding. But would be nice to have another big Oscar winner on the channel. Feels like it's been a while.
Chris Thom
2024-11-20 21:20:50 +0000 UTCKind of a fun fact, but Mae Whitman, who was the President’s (Bill Pullman’s) daughter in Independence Day, is also the daughter in both One Fine Day and Hope Floats.
Cole Jennett
2024-11-20 21:20:48 +0000 UTCYou haven't seen Four Weddings and a Funeral, have you? That's the one where they lull you in to a false sense of security with four happy weddings, then have a funeral where Christopher Lee pops out of the casket as Dracula and starts drinking Andie MacDowell's claret. Don't deprive yourself, my friend.
Clarence Newman
2024-11-20 21:19:40 +0000 UTCI really liked the adaptation of “The Cider House Rules”, though. But I agree, both books are far superior.
Phillip Bates
2024-11-20 21:13:29 +0000 UTCEvery one of these are excellent choices... (Cassie should see them all)... but I'm absolutely delighted 4Weddings has taken the lead! It's a 'perfect' Cassie movie!
Terry Yelmene
2024-11-20 21:13:26 +0000 UTCWhy isn’t Horror of Dracula in this poll? Such a tender, loving film!
Richard Maurer
2024-11-20 21:10:36 +0000 UTCI love a good rom com but I must say none of these would make my list. I'm not saying any are bad exactly just there are SO many that are so much better.
James Moy
2024-11-20 21:09:03 +0000 UTCI voted for “Four Weddings and a Funeral”..it’s been years since I last saw it, but I remember enjoying it.
Darren Harrison
2024-11-20 21:08:50 +0000 UTCWell it should be closer cause I even seen 4 Weddings more than once so we could give Cassie something not as wide known but heck these aren't really my bag I had to ask my mom to have an opinion
David Freese
2024-11-20 21:08:25 +0000 UTCAs I recall it was a reasonably good movie but I didn't like the ending.
James Moy
2024-11-20 21:06:14 +0000 UTCShirley, I think if Saving Private Ryan had won the Oscar that Shakespeare in Love would be making a better race of this.

Richard Maurer
2024-11-20 21:04:41 +0000 UTCOne Fine Day would be a great movie for Cassie to watch. I’ve just wanted her to watch Four Weddings and a Funeral for years so One Fine Day has to wait a bit longer. At least it’s on her radar.
James UK
2024-11-20 21:04:21 +0000 UTCI don’t care about any of these films. If someone can make me care about one I’ll vote for it.
Richard Maurer

Larry Darrell
2024-11-20 21:02:09 +0000 UTCI don't know anything about Simon Birch or 100 Foot Journey. My vote is in, for One Fine Day, although I'd be OK with Hope Floats, which I've seen, or Four Weddings, which I haven't. I hope it isn't Shakespeare which I believe is one of the most undeserved Best Picture winners of all time.
Jeff
2024-11-20 20:53:33 +0000 UTCA really tough book to adapt as it covers many years in the book. Coincidentally pretty similar to what they did with The Cider House Rules by John Irving

2024-11-20 20:50:36 +0000 UTCI'm at my moms house today and I asked if she had a choice and watched one today it would be Simon Birch. I think slowly but surely ( don't call me Shirley lol 😆) we are becoming predictable on these polls but what do I know!!

2024-11-20 20:49:10 +0000 UTCIt’s so disappointing to see “One Fine Day” coming in 4th. I used to love that movie. The soundtrack was really good too. It’s so hard to believe it’s 28 years old.

2024-11-20 20:40:01 +0000 UTCDamn!! Hard choice! These are all classics, except for Simon Birch. The book, A Prayer for Owen Meany, was soooo much better. But the others are all great!!
Phillip Bates
2024-11-20 20:39:42 +0000 UTCI know everyone resents Shakespeare in Love for beating out Saving Private Ryan for the Oscar, and your Gwyneth mileage may vary, but it’s definitely the best film here.

2024-11-20 20:39:25 +0000 UTCRom coms just don't do it for me. I wish you well on your favorite pick to win, but I am abstaining from making a pick on this particular poll. Good Luck, everyone. One last thing, Love Actually is NOT a rom com. It is a movie about many types of love with unexpected connections everywhere and tons of cameos by stars who were hugely popular in the 90s. Hell, even Mr. Bean couldn't drag the movie down....he even has one of the funnier scenes in it. Since my birthday is coming up next month, would you please react to Love Actually, Cassie?

2024-11-20 20:38:49 +0000 UTCShakespeare in Love is so well acted. Gwyneth Paltrow is excellent. She won best actress award

2024-11-20 20:36:41 +0000 UTCCassie, I have been - let’s say “highly encouraged” - to pick Hope Floats for the most high brow and noblest of reasons, that have nothing at all to do with me picking 100% of all the other polls and being threaten with sleeping on the floor. So, Hope Floats with Sandra Whatsherface, please.
Ike
2024-11-20 20:36:28 +0000 UTCWhen in doubt, pick the oldest movie on the poll
Andrew Ramos
2024-11-20 20:36:15 +0000 UTCFour weddings is 30 years old. How did that happen? I Andie MacDowell shone on this one, this, groundhog day and for me green card were pretty memorable. Her daughter is an actress as well in the movie the substance which has quite a bit of buzz about it recently.
rakesh
2024-11-20 20:32:40 +0000 UTCThank you! I had never heard of this and it’s hilarious. (I would start talking about Hardware Wars but that’s getting us even further afield from Shakespeare…)

2024-11-20 20:30:32 +0000 UTCOh thank the gods for that, most people are going for the correct answer. Four Weddings and Funeral is a hilarious and deeply touching romcom.

2024-11-20 20:30:23 +0000 UTCShe watched movies prior to the channel being created, lol. She’s definitely seen them on her own beforehand
Cole Jennett
2024-11-20 20:28:14 +0000 UTCYes four wedding and a funeral ( tbh surprised you haven't already seen it, seems exacrltly your kind of movie) and if you like Andie MacDowell in that, then hopefully you'll watch green card

Dan M
2024-11-20 20:24:24 +0000 UTCEvery single one of these is worthy of a Tender November watch, and once again I’m flip flopping between two movies. So this time I just flipped a coin. Heads for Four Weddings and a Funeral and tails for One Fine Day. Heads it is. Will I be lucky enough once again to have my top two choices come in neck and neck like the last poll? 🤞 Probably not.
Dan M
2024-11-20 20:22:35 +0000 UTCHope Floats has Sandra Bullock in it. As I recall it's a tale of a former beauty queen type, returning to her home town. She has hit bottom, needs friends, is trying to rebuild burned bridges and face the petty jealousy of so called friends. Highly relatable. A human interest story wrapped in Sandra's relatability and acting.
Ronald Carpenter
2024-11-20 20:22:11 +0000 UTCYou haven't seen "Notting Hill"?! OMG!!!I know it's not on the list above but I did a search and it doesn't look like you've done a reaction to it. Wait... you haven't reacted to "Love Actually" either? Do hate Hugh Grant? :-)
Jeffrey Joll
2024-11-20 20:21:29 +0000 UTCI think he certainly isn't the passive, push over type he plays in the rom coms. He definitely does not suffer fools gladly
JONATHAN REDFERN WILLIAMS
2024-11-20 20:15:53 +0000 UTCAnd of course, the one I vote for is in near last place 😅
mikethemotormouth
2024-11-20 20:14:51 +0000 UTCI have come to believe that, in real life, Hugh Grant is much closer to the sleazy-creepy rolls he’s been handling lately rather than his winsome-endearing nerd roles. I base this opinion completely on 0% knowledge of him IRL.

2024-11-20 20:07:16 +0000 UTCI can't imagine that this one will be close. Four Weddings is a classic and perfect for the channel.
R F.
2024-11-20 20:06:25 +0000 UTCTough One. Shakespeare in Love. 100 Foot Journey (surprised that one isn't doing much better). Four Weddings and a Funeral (not my favorite on the list, but still good). Hope Floats (one of my sister's favorite movies). And Simon Birch (a pretty good LOOSLY-based adaptation of the excellent novel A Prayer for Owen Meany). As someone who spent a lot of time studying Shakespeare and Elizabethan theater in college (both analysis and performance) I had to go with Shakespeare in Love, but I certainly wouldn't be opposed to a reaction to The 100 Foot Journey.

2024-11-20 20:06:06 +0000 UTCYou’ll enjoy all of these but it’s Four Weddings and a Funeral for me. I’ve only been suggesting it for 3 years!
James UK
2024-11-20 20:05:37 +0000 UTCFour Weddings and a Funeral (1994) not only launched Hugh Grant to super stardom but it also changed the types of acting roles he did for a long time afterwards. Up to Four Weddings, he was only acting in serious, dramatic films including Merchant/Ivory films Maurice (1987) and The Remains of the Day (1993). After the success of Four Weddings, he got type cast in a lot of romantic comedies for a long time after that!
JONATHAN REDFERN WILLIAMS
2024-11-20 20:04:49 +0000 UTCshakespeare in love is one of the greatest movies ever made. four weddings and a funeral is wonderful as well, and hope floats is not quite to that level, but also worth seeing. but i am giving my vote to one fine day, one of my favorite feel-good romcoms of all time
diego kontarovsky
2024-11-20 20:04:46 +0000 UTC100 foot journey would be a fun watch/reaction

Matt Rose
2024-11-20 20:01:44 +0000 UTCEven though I've never seen Four Weddings and a Funeral, even the trailers made me know it was funny. I don't think I was quite the right age at that point to get the jokes yet. I voted for Shakespeare in Love though. I remember I liked it, but I need to be reminded of how/why it stole the Oscar from Saving Private Ryan.
YodatheHobbit
2024-11-20 20:01:36 +0000 UTCShakespeare in Love is the definitive choice here. Remember, for this one the audience is Cassie (i.e. "Cassie's Poll") not us. Within that rubric the choice is clear.
Above Average Dave
2024-11-20 20:01:04 +0000 UTCThe universe is in order today. FWAAF and SIL in the leads. Do both Cassie! You won't regret it!
Ricardo Rodriguez
2024-11-20 20:01:00 +0000 UTCIf Cassie ever does a Hugh Grant poll, I'd love to choose an early dramatic film he did called Maurice (1987), a Merchant/Ivory film of an E M Forster novel. It was published posthumously because it deals with homosexuality in Edwardian England, when it was considered illegal at that time. It's a very good film!
JONATHAN REDFERN WILLIAMS
2024-11-20 20:00:20 +0000 UTCgonna push back on HOPE FLOATS. My wife and I saw that theatrically and almost walked out of the theater. We call it SH_T FLOATS, to be honest. If you guys are fans, more power to you. Everyone likes what they like.
