It seems to me that "Caddyshack" is becoming the new "Blade Runner."π€

2024-07-12 12:55:56 +0000 UTCYes, those are both great, as well; Full Metal Jacket has been reacted to by most other channels like this (I watched some of them, but has been a long time since I saw the entire movie); surprisingly few have reacted to A Clockwork Orange; I just watched that recently. Addie (and all the good movie reaction channels) should conduct a poll of great movies that have not been reacted to on any channel yet, for which she should choose and be the first.

2024-07-10 04:53:44 +0000 UTCI just have to say that any musicial-loving theatre kid would love The Blues Brothers
Andre Agog
2024-07-10 03:14:25 +0000 UTCBesides being hilarious, apparently My Cousin Vinny is regularly recognized by lawyers for it's realism and accuracy in portraying the court system and procedures.

2024-07-10 02:46:04 +0000 UTCI would have voted Blues Brothers but didn't because I'm afraid it will get in trouble with the YouTube copyright claims since it's a musical
Bill Rudd
2024-07-10 00:19:04 +0000 UTCYeah, I really liked The Blues Brothers but I wouldn't be shocked if parts of it feel a bit dated. And for sure its soundtrack elevates it, the music is fantastic! I think without that it would have been less memorable. I never got the hype for Caddyshack personally, I thought it was "ok", I'd probably put it at slightly better than Police Academy or Revenge of the Nerds but not as funny as National Lampoon's Vacation? π€·ββοΈ

2024-07-09 23:06:12 +0000 UTCAnother Kubrick movie would be fun. Of the ones you mentioned A Clockwork Orange is my favorite, although parts of it are pretty disturbing so I'm not sure how well it would click with Addie. 2001 would be a solid fit for the channel though! Full Metal Jacket would be a good pick for a future war movie poll as well (I just rewatched that recently and it was fun seeing a very young Vincent D'Onofrio (who today's MCU fans would recognize as The Kingpin) playing the much trod upon Private Leonard aka "Pyle".

2024-07-09 22:53:58 +0000 UTCI can't speak to the others but I really liked Elemental. π
Doug
2024-07-09 22:46:12 +0000 UTCCaddyshack and Blues Brothers were emblematic of the times they were made, and so they don't hold up well to present day (at least that is my perception of them)
The Dingo
2024-07-09 22:11:40 +0000 UTCSeeing you add Talladega Night reminded me that you need to watch Rush. Especially as you enjoyed Ford v Ferrari. Incredible movie
Mclaren Enjoyer
2024-07-09 21:57:19 +0000 UTCThe Blues Bros are in 4th place. It's not happening anyway. Oh well... π
Mr. Writhms
2024-07-09 21:55:53 +0000 UTCYes, she's already seen all 4 "Toy Story" movies. According to her Letterboxd, she only Pixar movies she has yet to see are "Brave," "Monsters University," "The Good Dinosaur," "Cars 3," "Elemental," and the recently-released "Inside Out 2."
Byrd N. Hand
2024-07-09 20:17:15 +0000 UTCYes, I'd love for Addie to do a Kubrick poll... even if the eventual winner(s) will inevitably be "Dr. Strangelove," "2001," "A Clockwork Orange," and/or "Full Metal Jacket" (she's already reacted to "The Shining," of course).
Byrd N. Hand
2024-07-09 20:14:46 +0000 UTCGranted, she's already reacted to "Labyrinth" (the winner of her first fantasy poll), and she's apparently seen "Return to Oz," according to her Lettboxd.
Byrd N. Hand
2024-07-09 20:12:06 +0000 UTCEh, plenty of reactors have gotten it through over on YT. As long as Addie exercises as much caution as she did on "Team America," she should hopefully be OK.
Byrd N. Hand
2024-07-09 20:08:26 +0000 UTCFor old time classic satire that is relevant with all that is going on today, you should have included Dr. Strangelove (1964) on the list; hope you will consider that one in the future! Among those listed, my top pick would be The Blues Brothers.
Strangelove50
2024-07-09 19:57:31 +0000 UTCI think CADDYSHACK was highly regarded at one point. I saw it much later in life and I was kind of disappointed. THE BLUES BROTHERS was one of those movies that I kept putting off as a kid and one day I saw it on TV and it was okay. Lots of chaos more than it was funny. I forgot which movies you reacted to, but it seems there could have been fuller choices. Those Adam McKay movies are pretty funny.
Philip Davetas
2024-07-09 18:39:14 +0000 UTCYea but that should be on a poll of 80βs fantasy movies along with Willow, Krull, Conan the Barbarian, Neverending Story, The Dark Crystal, Labyrinth, and Return to Oz
Wolverine
2024-07-09 18:23:43 +0000 UTCI guess it had been so built up by people who love it that I was expecting more. Maybe itβs like Paris Syndrome
Wolverine
2024-07-09 18:21:24 +0000 UTCI did vote for The Blues Brothers (among others), but given the centrality of the music to the story, it would be a difficult edit for Addie to get by the YouTube censorship bots... π
Phil Stubblefield
2024-07-09 18:21:16 +0000 UTCWait, what?!? π€ What specifically disappointed you? The movie is certainly silly in the classic "Saturday Night Live" style, but that soundtrack is one of the top three of all time! James Brown, Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, Cab Calloway, and some *killer* R&B and blues!
Phil Stubblefield
2024-07-09 18:19:30 +0000 UTCNobody "needs" to watch 'Flash Gordon' before 'Ted'. It's perfectly explained enough to understand the bit.
QuigonJim25
2024-07-09 17:37:48 +0000 UTCI finally saw the Blues Brothers and I was thoroughly disappointed
Wolverine
2024-07-09 17:21:17 +0000 UTCPlease no! Don't get me wrong, it's great, but I don't have access to the extended version! How many viewers will?
BubblyRainbows
2024-07-09 17:09:32 +0000 UTCHow about all of them
zynjams
2024-07-09 17:09:23 +0000 UTCI'd like to see a reaction to "Flash Gordon" before some of your suggestions. It may be old and cheesy, but it's cheesy in the best way and very few people react to it.
BubblyRainbows
2024-07-09 17:06:15 +0000 UTCOoh, some really good comedies on this poll! The Blues Brothers, The Naked Gun, and My Cousin Vinny are some of my favorite comedies of all time. π Bruce Almighty is also up there. Personally I'm down to rewatch any of those four. On a tangent, just a suggestion for a future comedy, it didn't look like you've seen Ted yet (at least I didn't see it in the search here or Letterbox.) Ted's hilarious, definitely worth putting on a future poll! ... Or now that I think about it, a poll with "movies starring dolls" would be kind of funny since there's a bunch of decent ones that aren't on the channel π: - Ted - M3GAN - Barbie - Toy Story (I think Addie saw this off channel though? π€·ββοΈ) - Lars and the Real Girl
Doug
2024-07-09 17:00:22 +0000 UTCGreat selection, some really good films here. My Cousin Vinny, however is definitely my top vote. Love this film.
DM DC
2024-07-09 16:54:30 +0000 UTCOur mission from God is to get Addie to watch the Extended Version of The Blues Brothers (1980). #TheBluesBrothersExtendedVersionForAddieCounts
Alex Tan
2024-07-09 16:54:22 +0000 UTCI love Legend, that movie is so great!
DM DC
2024-07-09 16:53:18 +0000 UTCI get the feeling that Addie would get a kick out of Legend with Tom Cruise.
Mike Adams
2024-07-09 16:47:20 +0000 UTCOh, wow...The Naked Gun and My Cousin Vinny are two of the most unique and very best comedies ever made. I hope you watch both!
sarCC
2024-07-09 16:43:10 +0000 UTCShe has. It's featured on her Letterboxd account.
Alex Tan
2024-07-09 16:35:51 +0000 UTCMy Cousin Vinny is an outstanding movie. It's a must see.
Stephen Fairley
2024-07-09 16:18:46 +0000 UTCHave you ever seen Free Guy?
Aldo Gonzales
2024-07-09 16:17:40 +0000 UTCMy Cousin Vinny is a must.
Joseph Voigt
2024-07-09 16:14:45 +0000 UTCNaked gun trilogy is awesome!
KingGoji94
2024-07-09 16:13:42 +0000 UTCThe blues brothers. That's the easiest vote in history.
Tom W.
2024-07-09 16:08:20 +0000 UTCHappy Tuesday, Addie! π All fantastic choices for this poll. "My Cousin Vinny" easily got my vote. With "The Blues Brothers" as a close second. Have a great day today! π
Randee Carreno
2024-07-09 16:06:48 +0000 UTCMy cousin Vinny is a modern classic!!! Hilarious, intelligently written, and tugs at the heart strings! And Marisa Tomei won an Oscar for her performance!
The Dingo
2024-07-09 16:05:52 +0000 UTCI will never not vote for 'The Naked Gun'.
QuigonJim25
2024-07-09 16:04:38 +0000 UTCLot of other comedies I'd suggest but out of this list Bruce Almighty for sure, not interested in any of the others.
bnut
2024-07-09 16:02:46 +0000 UTCBlues Brothers all the way
SnakeandNape
2024-07-09 16:02:38 +0000 UTCHappy Tuesday, Addie. All are great choices but my votes to to The Blues Brothers (1980), Bruce Almighty (2003) and Napoleon Dynamite (2004). And you have a new mission from God. You must watch the Unrated version of The Blues Brothers (1980), should it win this poll. #TheBluesBrothersExtendedVersionForAddieCounts
