Looks like Cassie selected all the entries for the poll, but since she hasn't seen the films, how was she to know? The voting is on us.

Stranger2Reality

I've always felt like the ending of Deliverance is really what stuck with me more than "the scene" did. But yeah, I absolutely do think that scene would be rough for Cassie, no doubt.

Stranger2Reality

I'm a friend of Bill W. on this one. The fault doesn't lie with Cassie or even the voters, it's with whomever picks the polls. I also don't think it's wrong to voice a complaint like that, as it's done with the hope that it spurs positive changes, rather than just complaining for no reason.

Stranger2Reality

Agreed. I just meant how she does a "scary poll" and a "not too scary" poll. Keep the kids movies and action movies masquerading as "horror" in the "not too scary" poll this year. But I agree, not all great horror movies are scary or gory or whatever.

Richard Maurer

I’ll be happy if they’re actual horror movies . They don’t have to be the scariest ones, just as long as they’re real horror movies - not action, comedy, or kids movies disguised as horror.

A cage in the back of the car: some people put a wire barrier into a car like that so they can put the dog in the back and not have it roaming through the car.

Stranger2Reality

@Richard - I couldn't agree more, that was particularly egregious. I really hope this Halloween there are just exclusively horror movies in the polls and that the actually scary poll just has actually scary movies in it, rather than like some comic book movie thrown in which ends up winning.

Richard Maurer

@Stranger - see pretty much the entirety of last Halloween. We watched 3 action movies with horror overtones.

John Burns

I hope I can see the Watchalong soon. I love your content, especially when both of you are reacting. :D

John Burns

Bill, Ok, so it's not Jon Voight young, but he's into middle age in The Champ. Did you ever see that movie?

Sean

That’s why they also watched The French Connection (even though it didn’t win the poll). Chill out.

Bill W

I'm not blaming Cassie. She just honored the voting results.

Sean S

"A really dumb choice for this poll" ... no need for that

bgb1975 (Brian)

Agreed. Mississippi Burning is a better Gene Hackman film.

Monte Durbin

You've never seen Deliverance?

Bill W

I was kind. I said the movie was not bad.

Sean S

Be kind. Chill out.

Chris Thom

Sneakers is actually on the channel if you haven't seen it yet.

Deliverance (1972) is a pretty good movie! Cementing both the careers of Jon Voight and Burt Reynolds. It was also Ned Beatty's first professional film. Don't know if Cassie's up for that one though, especially considering the unfortunate incident in the middle of the film. 😳🙄😵

Francis Ford Coppola said it was his favorite of all the films he made.

Bill W

Cassie commented that she's only seen Jon Voight old, and other than Midnight Cowboy I couldn't think of anything I'd seen him in young either. He worked pretty sparsely for the first 20 yrs, averaging 1 movie per year. Then 1997 came and BOOM! He did Heat, then M:I, then 5 films in 1997 and started doing like 3 or 4 per year.

Michael O'Connor

Just tell everyone in the comments Robert Dinero, Dustin Hoffman, Woody Harrelson, Willy Nelson and Dennis Leary are in it and it's hilarious. If they don't vote for it they will still probably watch it. That's all I'm after. ; )

Bill W

The movie is almost half over and we're still asking "Where is Gene Hackman?" Not a bad movie but a really dumb choice for this poll. Sigh. Should've been Mississippi Burning.

Bill W

Wag the Dog was awesome. Good luck getting that to win a poll.

Happy Hanukkah

But this brings to mind the IRA conundrum: "Today we were unlucky, but remember we have only to be lucky once, you will have to be lucky always."

Steven Perez

The movie to watch with Hackman is 1974's THE CONVERSATION.

Michael O'Connor

Wag the Dog, Sneakers, The Distinguished Gentleman and Striptease should be added to that list too. IMO they should all be mandatory viewing before one is allowed to vote, protest, join the military or buy a gun. But that's me.....🤔📽️🎞️📺

Laura Thornley

Indeed! I forgot about that movie. Three movies with similar titles.

Chris Thom

Ugh...that's haunting. Don't want to think on that too much right now. Paranoid enough.

bgb1975 (Brian)

Jon Voight was great in this one.

Chris Thom

Oh right Snowden was an Oliver Stone movie too. Forgot about that one. The one about the drug dealing threesome was also pretty entertaining.

Thoko

I think Gene would be happy for us to watch this movie in honour of him. Its still a major part of his body of work. Its not like he was just an extra in the background

🚩

Indeed.

Stranger2Reality

They were thinking of Behind Enemy Lines with Hackman and Owen Wilson, but they were confusing the title with Enemy At the Gates with Ed Harris and Jude Law.

Stranger2Reality

"And where is Gene Hackman?!" 😂 A great question. This is how all of these polls go, where inevitably the one option that least fits the poll ends up being the runaway winner. The people who pick the poll entries need to do a better job of vetting their picks. There's always at least one or two which don't belong and more often than not, they win. The Gene Hackman poll winner ends up being a movie where he's only in it for about a quarter of it.

Jason Henderson

🍿👍😊! Great night cap!

Arturo

I knew this movie would be stressful for you, and your name is not even in it. 😅 You are watching JFK (1991) soon pay atention to the Mr. X (Donald Sutherland) speach, also in the same "genera"... Shooter (2007) with Mark Whalbarg The Net (1995) with Sandra Bullock Chain Reaction (1996) with Keanu Mercury Rising (1998) with Bruce Willis Snowden (2016) base on true evens

Laura Thornley

Gene Hackman isn't in Enemy At The Gates (as far as I know, you never know if he played a cameo). Bob Hoskins is, however, delightfully chewing the scenery in that movie. And its a good, if historically inaccurate, movie. And incredibly grim and violent.

Michael O'Connor

Great movie! When I was in school for IT we watched this film and the movie "sneakers" in Future Issues in Technology class. At the time my professor said, "The military is generally 10 generations ahead of what you see in films like these?!?" Um, that was like 25 years ago now........🤔💬 You may start your freak out now. You should watch the movie "Wag the Dog " too....
