Upcoming! LOVE Movie Watch along and The first BOND!

Gone With the Wind...an EPIC Love Story!

Sam White

Valentine’s Day The time travelers wife (Rachel McAdams from About Time is in this movie ) The Age of Adeline (Harrison Ford is in this movie)

Doc Larry

Or if you’d like to see something new and funny and romantic, AS GOOD AS IT GETS with Jack Nicholson and Helen Hunt. 2 Oscar winners in the same movie, BEST ACTOR and BEST ACTRESS, In 1997. Absolutely my favorite movie of all time

N M

Alternatively, YOU’VE GOT MAIL would also be ideal…

N M

Yep, that's a great line indeed. You may also notice, as Bond removes the suppressor, he had a look on his face. Not a look of accomplishment, but rather feeling sorry it came down to this. Connery was truly great in this movie.

Ramzi M. A. Ramzi

Suggestion: WHEN HARRY MET SALLY for the watch along movie! I know you said that you’ve seen it before, so it’s a great choice because you can discuss it while it’s playing, plus this movie is extremely watchable multiple times because there are so many interesting conversations among the characters…. AND it’s on cable a lot so we can all probably find copies for free!

N M

Affair to Remember has the wittiest dialogue on that cruise ship! Battle of the sexes!

Catherine LW

"That's a Smith and Wesson, and you've had your six." *shoots* My absolute favorite Bond line.

ElementCuatro

Romancing the Stone .. great rom com adventure for Valentine's

Canadianant

I'm watching From Russia with Love at the moment. I would say the opening loses something if have not seen Dr No, and the M/Moneypenny scenes really play on the ones from the previous film. There is also no tuxedo or "Bond, James Bond"!

Dazman

MOONSTRUCK! It's a great rom/com and I believe CHER won an Oscar? You'd love the quirky story.

hockeywitch

They ARE NOT all sad endings.

Larry Darrell

@Katie - Cassie said above that she wants to watch a rom-com that she's already seen for the live watch-along so she can "chat and stuff," so that's why I recommended the ones she's already watched. I looked at her Letterboxd list and chose the ones I thought were a bit better than About Time, but that movie is still a cute movie. Honestly, I'm fine with whatever she chooses, I think it'll still be a fun live watch-along. 😊

Kelly Marie

I think Cassie has seen all those movies and that's why they're not listed. It's getting hard to find Rom-Coms she hasn't seen

Katie Jackson

Yeah, I think I sent It Could Happen To You in one of the packages I sent awhile back too. Definitely looking forward to it.

Katie Jackson

Some great Romances that I can't believe you haven't seen. ☆The Wedding Date. ☆Nights In Rodanthe. ☆Where The Heart Is. ☆America's Sweethearts. ☆The Majestic. ☆Kate & Leopold. ☆Brown Sugar. ☆The American President. ☆Waiting To Exhale. ☆Bed Of Roses. ☆One Fine Day. ☆Fools Rush In. ☆Tin Cup. ☆City Of Angels. ☆Hope Floats. ☆Practical Magic ☆Blast From The Past. ☆Some Kind Of Wonderful. ☆Overboard. ☆Nine Months. ☆Just Wright. ☆Father Of The Bride 2. ☆An Affair To Remember.

Katie Jackson

I remember LOVING Operation Petticoat as a child (pre-teen)!! OMG - Young Tony Curtis! and Cary fucking Grant!!

Peggy Zehr

"A Walk on the Moon" - Love this one!! Diane Lane and Viggo "Sexy" Mortenson. "Moonstruck" - Odd love story. Cher (she's GOOD in this one) and this is almost the only time I can bear to watch Nicholas Cage. Have you seen "Moulin Rouge" with Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman? LOVE IT and I don't usually like musicals. MODERN music. "The Way We Were" with Barbra Streisand and young, beautiful Robert Redford. Not really a happy ending though. Seems that many love stories that I like have sad endings, i.e. Romeo and Juliet - the original 1969 film by Franco Zeffirelli. BEAUTIFUL and helps bring Shakespeare to life. I have LOTS more great love stories to recommend (Dr. Zhivago, Cold Mountain, Bridges of Madison County, Children of a Lesser God, Out of Africa, Love Story.........all SAD ENDINGS!!

Peggy Zehr

You're not alone. I always give any genre a chance, but after giving rom-coms several chances I knew for sure that they're really not for me. I'm fine with romance in movies like Lord of the Rings, because it's part of the story, not the entire story as in rom-coms.

Richard Maurer

SIXTEEN CANDLES - currently streaming FREE on AMAZON Prime!

N M

I hope so. Sixteen Candles is also currently streaming free on Amazon Prime as well!

N M

A romantic comedy-drama?? Well you all know what I will suggest 😇😇

Björn Karlsson

Moonstruck. Long overdue

nick bell

I can just hear all the snickering now when people think about what sort of secret handshake a bunch of single guys would adopt.😆

Brian McGovern

I don’t know if I have it in me!

Philip Alan

You only have 22 to go then. :)

Mike LL

i just watched that the other day. Its unbelievable good. Gosling's acting is, as usual, exceptional.

Rodger Johnson

I second that suggestion! Have been patiently waiting to see if she'll do a reaction to that movie.

Andrew Rose

funny i remember the full monty as a comedy, but not a romantic comedy.

rakesh

As this resounds with me...we should get jackets and a secret handshake

Keith Jones

Really none of our business.

Bill W

I think the Zeffirelli Romeo and Juliet (the gold standard) should be seen before the 1996 version, but I like both so it doesn't *really* matter much to me.

Mike Lemon

*expect, not want.

Bill W

Romantic comedy-drama Movie? My pick would be Lars and the Real Girl - Stars Ryan Gosling, criminally underrated. Also Green Card is a great comedy drama romance as well.

rakesh

And that’s a +1 for Dr. No.

Larry Darrell

Please don't watch the English dub lol

Sahitya

Thanks! I just finished watching Juliet, Naked. I enjoyed it very much.

Charlie Larsen

Love City of Angels

Odd Thomas

She has: https://letterboxd.com/pib1/films/year/1990/

Gábor Árki

Well, nobody's perfect. ;-)

Stick Figure Studios

Connery's isn't though.

Stick Figure Studios

This should be quite a journey for you too then.

Stick Figure Studios

It occurred to me, Cassie hasn't seen Pretty Woman. How is that possible? Unless she's seen it outside the channel, but I don't recall it being on that list.

Al Swearengen

No, I was just curious, since most of those movies were based on bond and a few other spy movies. Thanks for the reply though.

Andrew Hogan

I'm sure you've already got lots planned but some movies for Valentine's that I'm surprised you haven't seen yet and would be great for this month are Baz Luhrmann's 1996 Romeo + Juliet, Stardust and Guess Who's Coming to Dinner starring Sidney Poitier, Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy.

rhaegar

According to https://letterboxd.com/pib1/films/ she has seen all three. But Johnny English is still a possibility, if that's any consolation.

Gábor Árki

Elizabethtown starring Orlando Bloom, The Goodbye Girl starring Richard Dreyfus, the Majestic starring Jim Carey, Silver Linings Playbook starring Jennifer Lawrence Bradley Cooper and the Philadelphia Eagles, STARDUST,

zynjams

No. As I said, I have never had anyone to share it with. Seems I am not alone.

Brian McGovern

I’m very curious to see if Cassie would watch Austin Powers after the Bond movies, unless she’s seen them.

Andrew Hogan

Sixteen Candles - my choice for Valentines Day watch party

N M

Bridget Fonda looking her best.

N M

If there is, I vote for DO THE RIGHT THING

N M

Me too. Have you seen Bridget Fonda lately? Surprising.

N M

I think I've seen 3 Bond movies total? One with Roger Moore and 2 with Pierce.

Philip Alan

one of my favorite movies

Philip Alan

I see it's on Tubi for free.

Philip Alan

I'm one of those that doesn't like Dr. No. I never have. I'm a lifelong bond fan and it's on my bottom tier list of Bond films. I won't say it's a bad movie, because it's not, but I completely understand people that don't want to watch it first. Because it took me like four tries to watch it all the way through.

Caomhan84

People who are not watching it first tend to dislike it because of being too slow, simple, and cheaper looking in comparison. Its biggest draw is having all those iconic first moments, but these will be lost if they watch other ones before. So unless it is happening first it might be best to just simply ignore it. Not to mention the beginning of From Russia is kind of spoiling its ending.

John Dunbar

Does anyone know if IT CAN HAPPEN TO YOU is streaming anywhere? I can't seem to find it

Shawn Kildal

David Strattan

Juliet, Naked (2018) has been a favorite February kind of movie of mine for the past few years.

Larry Darrell

Bond’s reveal is “slow” in From Russia With Love as well. Much Slower.

Larry Darrell

You aint alone buddy.

My_Cousin_Mose

I know for a fact that I’m going to have the minority opinion on him

James1035

Gee, how original. /s

Mike Lemon

Roger was great. Love him and miss him.

Stick Figure Studios

As Roger Ebert said, "there's Sean Connery... and then there's everybody else."

Stick Figure Studios

It's one of the greatest character intros in the history of cinema.

Stick Figure Studios

Different Bond movie.

Stick Figure Studios

Yes bud! Very excited for it. She's going to love Charlie Lang.

Erik Daniel

Mr. Lemon, why are you so Sour?

Jaccob Cortes

??? Content gets made either way. If The Last Dragon gets watched in February or if it gets watched in August, it still gets watched. But if you want a "movie affirmative action" month, you do you. I would rather watch the movie because it is good all year long.

Mike Lemon

ive requested It could happen to you for about a year. so happy she is finally gpoing to watch

zynjams

Great call on the 007 film

BRT

Do you want me to talk? No Mr. Bond... I want you to DIE!

Super Powered Design (Jim)

One idea generates content for the content creator. The other doesn't.

Jaccob Cortes

Finally, someone else recommending it. I've been trying to get it for a while now.

Mike Lemon

I'll just leave this here- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GeixtYS-P3s

Mike Lemon

Roger is my Bond. I fully acknowledge that Connery is the 'best' Bond but I grew up with Roger as my guy. My first theatrical Bond film was TSWLM in 1977 (I was 7 years old) and holy cow, I was hooked. I know that a lot of younger people write him off as the 'campy Bond' but I'm serious...if you grew up with him, he was great and those films fit the mood of the 70s. I like all of the Bond actors to varying degrees but Roger will always be my #1.

Matt Rose

How many times have you told us that About Time was your favorite movie for so long? I think this is an excuse for a re-watch. :-) OK. For V's Day, Cassie is entitled. Go crazy, but you really need to consider watching something else. Want a love story? try Fiddler on the Roof.

Alan Kobb

I just hope that Cassie will change her mind and add Dr. No to the list. I mean, who doesn't want to watch along when this happens: "I admire your luck, mister?" "Bond...James Bond" And that legendary theme kicking in... I mean the dude was so cool here, he made smoking look healthy :)

Ramzi M. A. Ramzi

Can't remember the exact quote, but I overheard someone once say that "Daniel Craig was a very good James Bond. Sean Connery WAS James Bond." Or something to that affect Thanks again for all you and others do. Have a great day and an even better weekend

Bill Maurer

I don't care for those two early outings either. Something about them just feels off. Moonraker (1979) and A View to a Kill (1985) are my guilty pleasures. But what makes Moonraker, TSWLM, and Octopussy so delightful to watch is Roger Moore; it appears to me that he was truly enjoying himself making those movies and already made the character his own away from Connery's shadow. Anyways, fingers crossed.

Ramzi M. A. Ramzi

@Stick Figure Studios: AbsoLOVEly!!

Mike LL

^This.

Stick Figure Studios

That's my hope too.

Stick Figure Studios

Yeah, my guess is FOR YOUR EYES ONLY will be the runner-up after TSWLM (which I'm also fine with; FYEO is great too) because I think that's the one generally regarded as Moore's second best. There are a surprising number of people, though, who like both LIVE AND LET DIE and THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN (neither of which I particularly care for), so you never know. It could be one of those. I hope not, but we'll see.

Stick Figure Studios

Someone must have got burned on Valentines😐

Celeste McAllister

Thanks Mike,all you guys are the best!!❤😎🍸

Celeste McAllister

Let's not talk about January lol. It went by so slow and I'm just glad it's over. Now, if I did rock nail polish, I'd have to go black. Like black hole black lol. However none of that matters because we have It Could Happen To You coming up. A wonderfully sweet film and a favorite rom com in this house. I actually sent it along with a bunch of other rom com's a while ago but I must have messed something up because I don't think it ever got there. A Walk In The Clouds is another one that was in the package I think you might just love.

Erik Daniel

Yeah, I saw Octopussy when I was about 11 or 12, and to this day it's my go-to Bond movie when I just want to escape the daily grinder. I second your wish and hope it wins the poll along with TSWLM (1977). But I have to say that For Your Eyes Only (1981) is a pretty good 007 adventure and a tough contender to beat (which I also love and rank as one of Moore's best). If the winners are out of these three, then I'll be very pleased.

Ramzi M. A. Ramzi

"Notting Hill" for Valentine's 😉

Matt B.

Yeah, there will be plenty of opinions expressed about Craig when we get to him.

Stick Figure Studios

@Mike LL: That bodes well for THE SPY WHO LOVED ME. ;-)

Stick Figure Studios

Speaking as someone who's seen the original movie that inspired CITY OF ANGELS (the sublime German art film WINGS OF DESIRE, by Wim Wenders), it's very difficult for me to enjoy the Nic Cage one as I find it so vastly inferior in every single way.

Stick Figure Studios

Valentines Picks:- Maid To Order. 1987. Ally Sheedy, Beverley D'Angelo, Tom Skerritt. Father Goose. 1964. Cary Grant, Leslie Caron, Trevor Howard. Houseboat. 1958. Cary Grant, Sophia Loren, Martha Hyer. Operation Petticoat. 1959. Cary Grant, Tony Curtis, Joan O'Brien. Move Over Darling. 1963. James Garner, Doris Day. The Thrill Of It All. 1963. James Garner, Doris Day. The Full Monty. 1997. Robert Carlyle, Mark Addy, Tom Barber. Forgetting Sarah Marshall. 2008. Kristen Bell, Jason Segel, Mila Kunis, Paul Rudd. All great romantic comedies. All viewer friendly (albeit with a little editing). You will adore all of them. P.s. Valentines day is my birthday so, you know, no pressure! ;)

James Moy

OCTOPUSSY was my first Bond film as well. My dad took me to the theater to see it when I was 7 years old and I was a fan immediately. It's still one of my favorites and I consistently see it being undervalued in series rankings. I will be pleased if it wins the Moore poll (along with THE SPY WHO LOVED ME, of course, as it is easily Moore's best outing).

Stick Figure Studios

I was also an advocate of starting with DR. NO (which is a great Bond movie), but FRWL is a good place to start as well.

Stick Figure Studios

thank you

Alan F

The title is Guess Who's Coming To Dinner (1967)

Mike LL

Ok at the risk of being banned... When she says "LOVE movie watch" is she reviewing the kind of film you don't watch with your grandmother? Even if it's in the dvd player? EVER! That really was an awkward christmas

James Moy

Valentine's picks: You've Got Mail (Meg Ryan, Tom Hanks) French Kiss (Meg Ryan, Kevin Kline)

Kristin D

@Cole, in total agreement about City of Angels.

Kristin D

Looking forward to the ladies starting the Bond films. For me, January went by quickly... seemed like only yesterday it was NYE. Valentine's Day...meh. On the subject of Rom Coms, one that I have become fond of is "A Good Year" starring Russell Crowe, Marion Cotillard and Albert Finney. Directed by Ridley Scott ( Gladiator, The Martian, Blade Runner, etc.) Funny, clever dialogue and definitely under the radar.

Robin Craft

From Russia with love is an atypical Bond movie it is very straightforward spy thriller. The later movies with more explosions special effects wacky characters. However I am an absolute fan of the James Bond Movies the different actors had their own take on the character but very entertaining

Doc Larry

The first Bond movie was Dr. No in 1962. R.I.P Sean Connery, forever Bond in our hearts!

Glen Childs

oh i agree, but if she is starting the Bond franchise (yes i know she is not doing every one) but I would think one would want to start at the start.

Adam Doyle

Uh, guys, you know why she is watching Russia first don't you? Duh, it's got "LOVE" in the title!! 🤣🤣❤💕💖💘

Mike LL

You can watch any Bond movie you want. In any order you want. I'm not picky. I've seen them all and would be happy to rewatch any and all of them with you and Carly. As far as Valentine's Day. It has gotten to expensive. I prefer more heartfelt gifts and actions over expensive gifts. January was a weird month for me. And busy. I had 3 birthdays. And a family member had to have surgery. So, the month was joyful with the birthdays and stressful with the surgery. And my Dad has to have surgery either this month or March. Life can be hard.

Rick Williams

Not even close to a great bond movie.

David

Happy Birthday, Celeste!

Mike LL

Can't wait for the Bond reactions! I might be one of the few people who likes January since that's when my birthday is 😅As for Valentines Day, been indifferent to it the last 5 years lol

Nismo

Happy Birthday Celeste!!

Robin Craft

This, to me, is the ideal way to start Bond. And I am glad Cassie is that "release order" type of gal. Really we aren't choosing the order of watch in the Bond polls, just which movies to see, because the order of watch is always the order in which they were made.

Mike LL

Dr. No should have been the starting Bond movie for your viewing.

Adam Doyle

I wonder if Cassie is trying to tell us not to go the 'it tied/close to tired, so watch this one too' thing too often. It's happened fairly frequently lately, and maybe she's had enough of it.

Richard Maurer

For Valentine's Day: The Adjustment Bureau (2011). A love story with a sci-fi twist to it. Though if you haven't seen it already, maybe not the one to do during the live stream.

Alexis

Punch Drunk Love is a great shout.... Romantic, but completely different. Who knew Adam Sandler could turn in such a great performance.

Paul Browne

City of Angels is fantastic, with a fantastic soundtrack too.

Paul Browne

I haven't seen "It Can Happen To You" in ages, feels like an eternity! it's one of those classics that falls under the radar and no one ever talks about anymore! it's a good movie and I really think you will enjoy it! not to sound picky, but you should watch 007 "Dr. No" first, just because logic dictates that being the first Bond film, but hey at least you're still starting from the beginning, hopefully afterwards you'll be able to revisit and watch the others that didn't win that poll! in all honesty and shame on me, I've never seen any of the OG Bond films, other than "Live and Let Die", but never seen any of the Connery films! I've seen all the Pierce Brosnan ones and only a few of the Craig ones, personally "Goldeneye" is my favorite, being that it was the first Bond film I've ever seen lol! January moved a decent pace for me, thank you lol! as for Valentine's Day, I unfortuantely for personal reasons, I'm a hater of V-day, sorry! however, I do make an exception for some people I know, and I make an exception for you and Carly lol! really quick once again I want to say I'm so happy you and Carly loved my gifts on Saturday, that was so fun and it warmed my heart! the Aragorn, Samwise the Brave, and White Tree of Gondor shirts were for you Cassie, and the Legolas and Hobbits shirts were for Carly, just to help clarify that! oopsie on my part for not labling them, but since I had them with your respective Minnie Mouses I thought you would've figured it out, sorry lol! hope you liked the Christmas card and the fan shoutout I made for you two! you and Carly are the best, much love and support and as always........ stay classy Cassie🥰😁😉👍

Wesley White

BIG YES and a Long Yeeeeeaaaaahhhhh for About Time.

Larry Darrell

I disagree on Craig, but that is a discussion for a future time

James1035

I admit after the very close poll and the remark from Cassie she is considering doing all three, I am somewhat disappointed Dr. No won't be getting a reaction. But I'm still confident From Russia with Love is the second-best movie to start with and at least some of the journey of the initial evolution of the franchise will be included this way. Going by the release order will at least help with the continuity present in the series. Despite many saying there isn't any, actually there is some, especially in case of the Connery ones. A note in case you haven't watched it yet: the Bond movies are very much a product of their time in every sense extending to all aspects of the films: story, characters, acting, stunts, and special effects. So best to let go of all expectations you might have from modern spy movies, the MI franchise, and even any knowledge you might have about contemporary Bond movies. The classic Bonds are their own thing. Very excited about this FRWL reaction. My hunch is that Connery's Bond will be well received, but we shall see soon.

Gábor Árki

Completely logical to watch From Russia With Love first as it released before Goldfinger. A lot of people are disappointed that we’re not starting with Dr No. but my hope is that Cassie will love the Bond franchise so much that she’ll eventually revisit the ones she didn’t get to see.

Wes Stewart

While this is romance, I'm not sure Cassie would enjoy this, but I can't say why without spoiling it.

Kristin D

In the Mood for Love is one of my all time favourites. Great watch at any time of year too.

Wes Stewart

Although I voted for Dr. No to be the first of the 007 reactions, the first Bond movie I saw was Octopussy (1983). I know a lot of people don't rank it high on their list, but it is my favorite and will get my vote when the Roger Moore era begins. My first Connery one was Thunderball (1965), which I also voted for. Up until The Living Daylights (1987), all of my Bond viewings were out of order, yet I had a blast and dove right into it. Looking forward to your 007 reactions, Cassie (pretty good Connery voice impression by the way). Cheers!

Ramzi M. A. Ramzi

shhh

Adam Doyle

fantastic idea!!!

JL_83

next!

Cassie

Valentines day is the king of Hallmark holidays. I guess that puts me in the black nail polish club? I'm not quite sure I get the reference but I definitely hate valentines day.

My_Cousin_Mose

Me too! I could watch it a million times! ☺️

Kelly Marie

Did Breaking Bad get kicked to the curb?

Pacmule

Yes, love all the Valentines on PIB. Especially Billy Ray Valentine and Valentine McKee from Tremors. 😊 In Time would be fun watch along.

Steve Holton

Rich Campbell

I want to avoid spoilers, but I will just say, I disagree massively based on one event in that movie.😂

Cole Jennett

love story, a walk in the clouds (very young keanu reeves), letters to Juliet, chocolat (johnny depp), look who's coming to dinner (Sydney Poitier, Spencer Tracy, Katherine Hepburn), Up (the first 15 minutes is the most heart wrenching love story ever. the rest is a different bond)

Alan F

I think you will like It Could Happen to You... but as mentioned above City Of Angels might be a better movie.

Adam Doyle

It Could Happen To You is a good movie, Rosie Perez is the memorable character for me....! and while From Russia with Love is a great Bond movie, I know when I watched some of the older Bonds with my kids they were totally taken back by the pacing, all the Bournes and Mission Impossibles move at a much faster pace and they weren't used to the slower burn of the older Bond movies. Hopefully all will enjoy though. My suggestion for a February romance would be An Affair to Remember, with Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr, especially as Roman Holiday seemed to go down well. It's plot-light, but the scrip is razor sharp and the actors seem to have a great time... Iconic also of course.

Paul Browne

Bridget Jones’ Diary is my fave.

Catherine LW

I’m a fan of almost every genre of film … except rom-coms. They are the bane of my movie watching existence. So I will probably be skipping several of this month’s selections.

Just Plain Bob

It's one of the greatest character reveals in the history of cinema.

Stick Figure Studios

I feel the same way.

Tim Raths

It Could Happen to You is a lovely movie. And, more relevant, it's right up your alley. I hope both you and Carly can watch. Thanks for making that this month's "Valentine" movie!!!

TT

Cassie, looking forward to your foray into the Bond movies! I sent you an ebook on Amazon that may help fill in the gaps on the ones you don’t watch! Check your gmail! 😊

Rick Moreno

Yeah I agree. We are still getting two of the best Bond movies in the franchise reacted to. That’s a win.

James1035

For a live watchalong, I'd prefer watching a movie that you've already seen, especially if you plan on interacting with chat during it. But something you haven't seen could also be fun, but then I would want you to naturally pay attention to the movie. About Time sounds like a super fun movie to watch with you to fulfill the former, and it's been a while since I've seen it myself! Going to be stocking up on chocolate over here for Love Week! 💞

kaiielle

I can identify with a lot of this post

James1035

'It Could Happen to You' starring Bridget Fonda daughter of Peter Fonda,granddaughter of Henry Fonda,Jane's niece..

Celeste McAllister

Went fast for me, as I had knee surgery on the 16th of January. So the month went quick as I was off work until yesterday, lol.

Adam Hendry

Yup. FRWL is a perfectly valid place to start with Bond.

Stick Figure Studios

True his reveal is great in Dr No. From that scene forward you know Connery owns that role.

James1035

She knows this. It just didn't win.

Stick Figure Studios

But it didn't win. It lost by one point. FRWL actually won. That's why she's doing it first. We may still get DR. NO, just not in perfect release order.

Stick Figure Studios

I also like the way it introduces his dynamic with M and Moneypenny. I want to watch it now!

Dazman

So happy you are watching Bond and starting with one of the best films in the franchise. You are too good to us, Cassie!

Mike LL

"It Could Happen To You" is phenomenal. You'll love it.

Thomas Williamson

GOLDFINGER is when Bond really became his own genre.

Stick Figure Studios

THE PROPOSAL is particularly good.

Matt Rose

Love St. Valentine's Day. Took Valentine as my saints name.

Maria Soberanis

That's what I'm most sad about. The slow character reveal in Dr No is really great, while there isn't really such in FRWL.

Gábor Árki

Fantastic movie.

Matt Rose

I agree that Connery's intro in DR. NO is stronger (it's really one of the greatest character reveals in the history of cinema), but you have to admit that his "intro" in FRWL is very clever.

Stick Figure Studios

Goldfinger was the first Bond movie where the formula was fully established including the music.

Richard Bourne

Trench was indeed meant to be a recurring character, but that went out the window when Guy Hamilton came in to direct GOLDFINGER.

Matt Rose

Even though I do like Dr. No, I agree this is a good starting point.

Richard Bourne

If you wanted to go with the “first bond” It was Dr. NO.

Trevor Rotan

Happy Birthday Celeste!

Robert da Spruce

Just needed one more vote for the tie!

Dazman

She may indeed! Though it would mess with her release order philosophy (hehe).She had hinted she would watch all three. I do think the intro to the man himself is stronger in Dr No - apparently the Sylvia Trench character was going to be a running gag.

Dazman

DR. NO started it all, but they were still figuring things out how to make these movies. By FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE they nailed down a lot of the formula and by GOLDFINGER that formula hit critical mass.

Stick Figure Studios

Also a huge Bond fan and I am also pleased that she's starting with the earlier Bonds.

Stick Figure Studios

Be patient, my friend. If she loves FRWL (which I think she will), she may yet go back to the beginning.

Stick Figure Studios

I love the idea of a live watch-along. About Time is a cute movie, but I feel there are better ones, like Bridget Jone's Diary, The Proposal, Sweet Home Alabama, The Wedding Singer, What Women Want, and How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. Curious why the movie "Valentine's Day" was not an option since it has the holiday in its name! 😉

Kelly Marie

Indeed. I'd still love for her to eventually see how it all began, but you really can't go wrong with FRWL.

Stick Figure Studios

cant wait, watching it now

zynjams

I predict that both Cassie and Carly are going to just love Q in all of these movies.

Stick Figure Studios

Totally get what you are saying!

Cole Jennett

Cassie wants 'About Time' I say we give it to her as a valentine's day gift❤

Celeste McAllister

BTW, if you like true crime movies, can't wait until you watch Zodiac! All true!

KauaiKeith

I am a Valentine Day hater. I have never had anyone to share it with. At first it was more of an issue of me being too shy to ever ask a girl out on a date. I did once and got rejected which was EXACLY what I had always feared. Now I see it more as a choice. I believe I am not the sort of person who can share his life with another person. I wish I wasn’t, but that is how my life has progressed. Well, now that I have probably shared too much about myself, I think I will sign off.

Brian McGovern

Really enjoying the True Detective series. I'm a true Bond fan and am glad you are sampling the earlirt Bonds but in doing so you will come to appreciate how great Daniel Craig is in the role.

KauaiKeith

I’m hoping it will get more exposure as it deserves to be more well known imo

Cole Jennett

oooooooooooooooooh it could happen to you ooooooooooooooh I LOVE THAT MOVIE!!!!!!!!

zynjams

I’d pick Notting Hill probably first, but am pretty happy with About Time. She does love Rachel McAdams, and it’s an underrated movie I think.

Even though I was pulling for DR. NO as your first introduction to Bond, I'm actually not as disappointed by the development of you starting with FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE as I thought I'd be. It's a terrific movie and not at all a bad place to begin with Bond (I'm mostly just glad you're not starting with GOLDFINGER; it's arguably the greatest Bond film of all and you really need to work up to it). It will be interesting for you to see how this series evolves. I'm still hopeful that if you enjoy it (which I believe you will), you'll go back to the very first one and see how it all started. Either way, this is going to be quite a journey. Looking forward to it.

Thank you Steve 😀

Love a Rom Com

No surprise to me a romantic like you loves Valentines Day, but I’m with Carly on that one. It’s too bad that you aren’t going to watch Dr No as well, but From Russia with Love is one of the best Bond movies in the franchise. It Could Happen to You was one of the few romantic movies I’ve seen before and I think you will really enjoy that one as well. A surprise to no one that knows me I haven’t seen About Time.

What do you suggest for a V day movie Cole? :)

Celeste McAllister

Yay for rom-coms!!! Finally, movies more in one of my favorite genres! ❤️ I think Cassie will love "It Could Happen to You," such a sweet movie and one of Nicholas Cage's better drama/comedy/romance movies.

I love Valentine’s Day but me and my partner don’t celebrate it. We’re of the opinion that you shouldn’t just have one day of the year where you show your partner you love them. It should be a year long thing.

From Russia with Love isn’t the first bond film tho… Dr No is

A better Nicolas Cage romance is City of Angels with Meg Ryan

"About Time" is one of my all time favorites - but I don't think Cassie is ever going to do it for the channel because it's one of HER favorites too. "It Can Happen To You" is a decent movie (with some painful parts) but I am going to keep lobbying for "The Sure Thing". No reactors are doing it, and it's an all time classic rom-com.

From Russia with Love is great but Dr No is the first proper Bond movie.

Happy Birthday! 😊🎂

Steve Holton

Love About Time, such an underrated, underwatched movie🥰

Cole Jennett

The idea I think is for it to be one she can chat with us while watching, and she would want to pay full attention to a movie she hasn’t seen before.

Will there be a Black History month poll for Feb?

Jaccob Cortes

For V day I have 'Moonstruck' 'You've got Mail' 'Crazy Rich Asians' 'When Harry Met Sally'..with the exception of a some good days,January kinda dragged on for myself it was the last month of my 20's,OMG I turned 30 last night! 😁😢

Celeste McAllister

Not watching Dr No?! One vote difference! The casino introduction, Sylvia Trench, PPK, Felix. The first Bond! Nooooooooooooo

Dazman

My Bloody Valentine 3-D

William Bryan

From Russia with Love is a great way to start Bond.

James UK

About Time please. One of my favorite movies.

Timothy Roberts

From Russia with Love was Sean Connery's favorite. It also has the first appearance of Q who gives Bond a brief case with hidden gadgets in it and an AR-7 rifle. Robert Shaw from Jaws and The Sting is in this and a total badass in his younger days.

Richard Bourne

When you said V-Day All I could think of was that tv series from the 80s ‘V’… I was like, that’s an odd one, watching V…. Oooh… ok VALENTINE… yep, that makes more sense.

Ria Grix

I despise Valentine’s Day!! I hated it when I was in a relationship too. Lol just not a real holiday to me and a lot of other people. I don’t like love stories and rom coms so I’ll probably be skipping most of this months uploads. Except for footloose of course. One of my childhood favs. The poppies should be fun again this year. When is October again?? 🤣🤣 sorry Cassie. I just love scary movies so I’m ready for October. Can’t we just skip February completely. Plus it’s the coldest month of the year which is just miserable. Come on summer!! I’m tired of being cold all the time. 🥶

So is RRR not this week?

One of Nicholas cages, more subdued, normal acting jobs.

I cast as many votes as possible for About Time.
