The Lion King won!!
Added 2023-10-23 13:55:17 +0000 UTCIt was a close one, with Dune only 1 point behind The Lion King!!
I know some of the songs in The Lion King (thanks to Hans Zimmer playlists 😂), so I'm curious to see what this well loved Disney movie has to offer.
This reaction will be recorded and edited for YT in November, and I'll get to see how difficult copyright is for animated Disney movies.
Also, seeing as November is Remembrance Day, I am asking you all for to recommend a single (1) World War 1 movie each. There will be a poll made by the end of the week for everyone to vote on. I think the only WW1 movie that I've seen is 1917.
Fun fact, I did a quick Google search to see some WW1 movies, and Wonder Woman came up 😂 That is not the kind of movie I'm looking for.
Reminder to just recommend 1 movie (if you recommend more, I will take the top one only).

It would have definitely lost the coin toss. But that wasn't me, I was not the singular person who gave it a chance. It was everyone who actively chose. I wanna say more, but I won't, cause that would turn this into an essay. [Hakuna Matata reference redacted because of real life world situations.]

2023-10-24 20:02:52 +0000 UTC'War Horse' (2012) is supposed to be quite good.

2023-10-24 16:10:47 +0000 UTCStarring Kirk Douglas, written & directed by Stanley Kubrick. Based on a book of the same name. English language and actors playing French army & uniforms. There is an episode of the anthology TV show "Tales of the Crypt" based on this movie (S3E14 "Yellow", 1991) also starring Kirk Douglas and one of his sons, Eric Douglas, in a role-reversal from the movie. Eric really looks like the young Kirk Douglas from the movie.

2023-10-24 08:12:23 +0000 UTCThe only WWI film I can think of off the top of my head is Steven Spielberg's "War Horse".

2023-10-24 06:17:38 +0000 UTCI saw the 1930 and 1979 versions in 10th grade English class, but haven't seen the new version. Good to see a positive recommendation.

2023-10-24 05:24:49 +0000 UTCBoooo why did you ruin the genre when I specifically didn't want to look up anything about it?

2023-10-24 05:15:19 +0000 UTC1960 = 44 episode TV series 1986 = time-travel sci-fi

2023-10-24 05:13:45 +0000 UTCAnother great choice true story, directed by David Lean, filmed on location in Jordan, starring Peter O'Toole, Alec Guiness, Omar Shariff, & Anthony Quinn. Multiple academy awards, including the score. Would probably be the longest movie you have ever reacted to. - Warning: includes instrumental Prologue/Intro and Intermission. - #2 on my recommended list because of it's length.

2023-10-24 05:04:16 +0000 UTC"Lawrence of Arabia" (1962). Never seen it myself. But people keep telling me I should. If its picked, this would be a good reason to watch. [Edit] Oh, shoot! I forgot to say that I voted for Lion King and I feel validated! Every vote counts, you guys.

2023-10-23 22:02:12 +0000 UTCThat is about Vietnam, not WW1. It is the 2nd in Oliver Stone's Vietnam trilogy after "Platoon"

2023-10-23 20:40:30 +0000 UTCOk so looking at the list of WW1 movies to pick out my recommendation, I discovered there's a movie called "Biggles" so I'm picking that without looking up anything about it 😂

2023-10-23 20:30:04 +0000 UTC😂Oh definitely not that movie!

2023-10-23 15:03:02 +0000 UTCNot gonna lie, my brain read that as "Blades of Glory" and I was VERY confused before rereading it correctly 😂
Verowak
2023-10-23 14:47:53 +0000 UTCMy initial recommendation was already taken, so I’ll go for one that few may know about but definitely should see; “Paths of Glory” (1957). If you need more, let me know.

2023-10-23 14:42:46 +0000 UTCThe 2022 remake of 'All Quiet on the Western Front' is a great watch imo.
