I had lots of great suggestions on how to make the suggestion process much easier, so next time we'll try some of them out cause I know it was a bit hard to sort through all the comments.
Also, Terminator 2 will be up tomorrow!

I applaud these suggestions. They are funny, slapstick comedies that have a lot of what Cassie can enjoy. Unfortunately, most of the suggestions for all the movies are suggested by men and to shows. Thankfully Cassie has been entertained enough by the final choices.

2021-09-07 06:30:46 +0000 UTCYeah it's controversial! Definitely should be watched at least once though because of its historical significance and impact on film.

2021-09-07 01:04:44 +0000 UTCDefinitely appreciate how some reactors are finally giving pre-1960s films a chance! Thanks a lot for this! :D Honestly, I recommend you seeing as many of those as your heart desires. All great works and many more I'm sure based on the recommendations you've received.

2021-09-06 23:22:18 +0000 UTCI don't mean to brag, but I have seen all of those films. Whichever ones you end up watching I guarantee will be worth your time.

2021-09-05 01:01:15 +0000 UTCThe only way "12 Angry Men" can be beating "Ben-Hur" is if people haven't seen Ben-Hur! 11 Academy Award wins (12 nominations, only "Titanic" and "The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King" have won more) 3 Golden Globe wins The picture also won the BAFTA Award for Best Film, the New York Film Critics Circle Award for Best Film, and the Directors Guild of America Award for Outstanding Directorial Achievement in a Motion Picture for William Wyler's masterful direction. "12 Angry Men" is a very good movie, one of the best ever courtroom dramas, but it isn't THAT great.

2021-09-03 20:09:55 +0000 UTCInteresting -- I get the love for Casablanca, but not the near repudiation of African Queen. I'm pretty sure if Humphrey Bogart was still alive and advising us which one to watch, it would be AQ hands down!
