Another week, another EOM poll.  This week it's all about those glorious 80s movies that wouldn't exist (or at least not in their current state) without some help from all that 1980s Hollywood booger sugar.    Which 80s masterpiece conceived while the filmmakers were all higher than 2023 egg prices is it gonna be for this week?

Good luck!

Commando, Teen Wolf and Maximum Overdrive are my favorites from this list. Looks like Commando is winning. JL, you’ll love it - lots of Arnold one liners. 😆

There are a couple pretty good movies on this list. However, it is a real shame that reactors keep looking at OTHER reactors' videos to see which are most popular when they decide what movies to put on their polls. This means that polls almost never include movies that no one has yet reacted to. So we get 25 reactions to Police Academy and zero reactions to Stuck on You even though the latter was a much better movie. I suppose when every reactor has reacted to every movie in their small incestuous pool of movies, they'll have to branch out to "risk" reacting to movies that no one has yet done, but frankly I'm finding it harder and harder to find any movie reactions worth watching. I don't need to see a 12th reaction to Star Wars or Harry Potter movies or even a 3rd reaction to Lethal Weapon 2. Sure, I'll admit some movies everyone should react to and I'll watch them (e.g., Edge of Tomorrow, Airplane, Pulp Fiction) but there are a very small number of movies in that category. So, anyway, I suggest you guys do a poll that ONLY consists of movies for which there are no reactions yet. I think you'd be surprised at the traffic it'll drive, too, as I don't think I'm alone among viewers in getting sick of seeing reactors doing all the same movies over and over, and more and more I look for reactions to movies that have not been done yet. If this seems like a good idea, here's my own "short list" of movies that really deserve reaction videos, but inexplicably have been totally passed over by Youtube reactors: Next (Nicolas Cage sci-fi) Limitless (Bradley Cooper sci-fi) Push (Chris Evans / Dakota Fanning sci-fi) Crank (Jason Statham action) About a Boy (brilliant Hugh Grant comedy) Cider House Rules (Oscar-winning and awesome period drama with Tobey McGuire, Michael Caine, & Charlize Theron) Casualties of War (Michael J. Fox, underrated Vietnam war movie) Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead (Andy Garcia & all star cast, crime drama) Sense & Sensibility (Hugh Grant / Emma Thompson / Kate Winslet romance period piece) The Legend of 1900 (Tim Roth, sweeping period piece / fable) Human Nature (surreal Charlie Kaufman comedic drama starring Tim Robbins, Patricia Arquette) Real Men (James Belushi, John Ritter comedy thriller) Year One (Jack Black, Michael Cera comedy) Go (brilliant slice of life comedy) I Heart Huckabees (Mark Walberg, Dustin Hoffman, surreal comedy) Sweet and Lowdown (Sean Penn stars in Woody Allen comedy/mockumentary about depression-era jazz guitarist) The Legend of Bagger Vance (Matt Damon / Will Smith / Charlize Theron underrated golf fable / period piece) Diggstown (James Woods boxing thriller) A River Runs Through It (Brad Pitt drama/period piece) Four Rooms (Quentin Tarantino comedy starring Tim Roth; outragous, artsy, funny & a bit horrific, great cameos) The Black Hole (cult classic Disney horror sci-fi) Cat's Eye (Stephen King star-studded horror anthology) Dreamscape (Dennis Quaid sci-fi) Best Seller (James Woods, Brian Dennehy crime/suspense, very cool, very 80s) Sphere (Dustin Hoffman / Samuel L. Jackson / Sharon Stone, based on Michael Crichton novel, underrated sci-fi) FAQ About Time Travel (2009 British sci-fi comedy, underrated) Night of the Comet (80s horror / apocalypse that is surprisingly good, cult classic b-movie) For Love of the Game (Kevin Coster baseball movie) He Said She Said (Kevin Bacon / Elizabeth Perkins in underrated romantic comedy) Bye Bye Love (underrated ensemble romantic dramedy) Stuck on You (Matt Damon / Greg Kinnear buddy comedy) Central Intelligence (Dwayne Johnson / Kevin Hart buddy comedy) Silent Movie (underrated Mel Brooks comedy, one of his top 5 funniest movies) Cheap Detective (Neil Simon ensemble comedy) Twenty Bucks (Brendan Fraser, Steve Buscemi, William H. Macy, Elisabeth Shue and others, artsy/indie) The Number 23 (Jim Carrey thriller/horror) Land of the Lost (Will Ferrell, Danny McBride comedy) Cowboys and Aliens (underrated sci-fi-western with Daniel Craig & Harrison Ford) If Looks Could Kill (underrated spy comedy starring Richard Grieco) Rustler's Rhapsody (Tom Berenger, surprisingly good comedy western) the Boyfriend School (aka Don't Tell Her It's Me) (Steve Guttenberg, underrated romantic comedy) Taps (young Timothy Hutton, Tom Cruise, and Sean Penn; George C. Scott in early 80s military school drama) 200 Cigarettes (Ben Affleck, Dave Chapelle, Paul Rudd, Courtney Love, and more) Heat (1986 action movie starring Burt Reynolds, not to be confused with 1995 movie of same name) Three O'Clock High (underrated high school comedy) The Hard Way (James Woods, Michael J. Fox do novel take on comedic buddy cop genre) Cocoon (iconic Steve Guttenberg sci-fi) The Toy (Richard Pryor comedy vehicle that could NEVER be made today) Virtuosity (Denzel Washington plus young Russell Crowe, sci-fi thriller) Vampire's Kiss (early Nicolas Cage movie, artsy/indie vibe) Stakeout (Richard Dreyfuss, Emilio Estevez, underrated buddy cop movie) Lawnmower Man (Pierce Brosnan & Jeff Fahey in sci-fi horror) Reindeer Games (Ben Affleck heist/action movie, pretty good, underrated) Crazy People (Dudley Moore, underrated comedy) The Man with Two Brains (Steve Martin comedy-horror) The Champ (Jon Voight, Ricky Schroder, Faye Dunaway 1979 drama, at the time considered the ultimate tear jerker) Chances Are (Robert Downey, Jr., Cybil Shepherd Prelude to a Kiss (Alec Baldwin, Meg Ryan offbeat romantic comedy with a supernatural element)

I do not care how many reactions there are to popular movies already. They are popular for a reason, and if J hasn't done it, the best reaction for said movie isn't out there yet. And it's getting REALLY old with you continuously shitting on every movie choice, every poll choice, and every way you think I choose to run things. If you don't like stuff, cool. Nobody likes everything we do. But there's no need to write a novel of a complaint every time the poll isn't exactly what you want it to be and act like the voters or the ones making the poll don't know what they are doing just because you don't agree or like it. That's kid stuff.

JL

I’m so glad that you are in the conversation that me and Blank have about the polls. Since you seem to know so much can you please tell me what our next poll is going to be sir and what we have scheduled for April? I’m be honest with you as much as you have complained and been negative I personally rather not watch anything you suggest at all. And if you knew so damn much and paid attention WE HAVE OPENLY SPOKE ABOUT HAVING POLLS THAT THERE IS ZERO REACTIONS TO. KEN I’M TELLING YOU TODAY AS OF JANUARY 21, 2023. STOP YOUR BITCHING OR LEAVE. I WILL NOT TOLERATE IT ANYMORE. WHEN OTHER PATERON MEMBERS START TO COMPLAIN ABOUT YOU ITS TIME TO CALM THAT SHIT DOWN OR GO. No $1 is worth somebody constantly attacking people for the way they vote, what movies are on the poll, or having an opinion that’s different than yours. It’s people like you that make this not fun bc you make it all about you all the time. If it don’t benefit you then you attack it. We trying to have fun with community that’s family strong. Don’t be that person that every time people see your name they roll their eyes bc they already know it’s something negative

Or put the same 10 paragraph response 20 times that EVERYONE has already read and now have to scroll past to get to the reactions from the BEST REACTION CHANNEL OUT THERE. Geez Louise dude dial it back a notch. And I did notice you took your nasty comment off about those of us who voted for Commando, gee thanks🙄

That list...started with Next. (Insert multiple jokes here.)<p>Chill pills are good for everyone. Take em! And if you find yourself in a bad house...move out.</p><p>Ken, I genuinely hear you; I'm tired of Lethal Weapon 2 too. But don't walk into a restaurant serving burgers and yell at them for not having pancakes - you're doing a Karen-move if ever there was one.</p><p>Also, son, your list is...well, you gotta see more movies frankly. Human Nature and The Man With 2 Brains are solid...but...If Looks Could Kill? Really? Yikes...that's a bad pancake this restaurant rightly don't serve. (Yeah, the Daltrey cameo is tasty syrup.)</p>

Man...wish I got <b>this</b> much response to my occasional comments.

Michelle Bebo Horrigan

I only responded because I'm tired of seeing the SAME long winded annoying post 🤷‍♀️. I'll keep a better eye out for you broski 😁

g g gooding

Michelle, I'm (mostly?) kidding. So no worries. Comments that are funny or informative are the tops!<p>And sadly rare. Oh well. Have a cinematic day - peace y'all. ✌️</p>

kbobravo

I know taste is subjective but holy hell your suggestions are awful. Don't complain about the movies being done and then follow up with a list of alternatives filled with movies not worth reacting to. If JL reacted to only your list from this point, there'd be a guaranteed huge drop in subscribers.

frost1977

you have 3 movies on that list that I would watch a reaction too. "Taps" and "Cats eye and the black hole" hard pass on the rest.

g g gooding

Good call, frost. Cats Eye and The Black Hole are both razor. And Taps is purdy good, imho.<p>We should have a class on "Kens crap list" and all discover gems amongst the poo. </p><p>(Human Nature is 🔥🔥🔥, he's right 'bout that. Dig it!)</p>

Let's go Commando!!! Meatspin for the win.

Wow. Arnie taking a huge lead in the cocaine cabinet race! If overdrive loses would be a good one for next Halloween to give JL a break lol

Chris Baldwin

Can I suggest a flick for a future poll that falls under "cult classic"? The movie is "Thief" from 1981, starring James Caan and Tuesday Weld. The soundtrack was done by Tangerine Dream. It's a Michael Mann film, so it feels like the old "Miami Vice" TV shows. Thanks Blank.

Devyn Johnson

I Love Howard the Duck! I’m good with Commando and Teen Wolf too. Really like those as well.

highlander there can be only 1.
