Harriet the Spy is Michelle, heart and soul, Eurotrip isn't really representative of her talent, as fun as the movie is, the wrong movie is winning this poll

MidNite1869

Make the call @Ashleigh Burton Harriet the Spy is Michelle from start to end all others are side pieces

Mikey Russo

Harriet The Spy is the most Michelle movie of the bunch. She’s just a side character in Euro Trip. People are voting based on what movie they like the most, not which one best shows off Michelle. Go with Harriet The Spy.

Vincent Perrone

Haven't seen EuroTrip yet. I personally would say Harriet the Spy though.

Meredith Shivers

Agree!

Cody Cameron

While I enjoy Eurotrip it's sad that it's winning this poll to honor her

David Hunter

Voted for Harriet the Spy but EuroTrip is also a fantastic option so I'm pleased with that one too.

Joseph Ricks

Can't wait for Ashleigh to get Scotty Doesn't Know stuck in her head like the rest of us

Jacob Colson

And I hope she watches the unrated version!

Zombie

Buffy is what I’ll always know and love her from. I was going to vote for Eurotrip since it’s the only one I’ve seen and have decent memories of, however this post swayed me. 🫡

Anthony

Asheligh hasn't seen Matilda either yet..she needs to though!

James Moyner

People for some reason love their raunchy, low brow, teens/or college students are idiots films, I don’t understand it. I think it goes back to Animal House. Since this is Ashleigh’s kind of humor why doesn’t she just watch Freddy Got Fingered?

Alison

Harriet the Spy is a classic just like Matilda.

Christopher

I joined Ashleigh's Patreon just for the chance to vote on Eurotrip because its one of my favorite movies and seems like a movie Ashleigh would love.

ssb031

It was a forgettable movie. LOL.. sorry Michelle! And Matthew Broderick..

ssb031

Harriet The Spy is a hill I'm willing to die on. It was so good in so many ways!

ssb031

YES! Me too! She was great in it!

ssb031

I know! I loved that movie!! She was SO young then!!

Chris Carman

Rest in peace, lovely Michelle. And, yeah, as someone still on the early "Buffy" timeline, you gotta avoid pretty much everything being written about her right now...!

Jordan Wyant

Harriet the Spy holds such a special place in my heart. I still on it on VHS to this day.

David Hayes

So don't mention eggs either because they spoil and are political at the moment. Don't share what happened to Humpty Dumpty!

David Hayes

I didn't realize that she was in Inspector Gadget!

Kenn E Wayne

Yes. This is a guilty pleasure movie for me.

Jennifer Whitaker

I would have loved to see 17 Again in this list.

Matthew Vandiver

Mi scusi!

Blu

My 90's baby says Harriet the Spy

Crystal Wood

I agree with those commenters saying “You’re already tributing by watching Buffy!” BUT: Here’s a few others of her films that didn’t make the poll: - Forever Together (aka Can’t Be Heaven) - A Father’s Choice

Joe Blankenship

I imagine if you're not in the 35-45 age range, then Harriet the Spy doesn't mean much to you. Or Nona F. Mecklenburg.

Jordan Lloyd

If HTS does not win, riot

Mr Marvelous

I done suggest Cheech and Chong's next movie for that. Look at the cast there's two cameos Ashleigh will love

Leeland

Can we get a poll going for 4/20? I would like to recommend Reefer Madness: The Movie Musical (2005)

Lynette Cummins

I've never heard of this actress or her movies. I'm gonna sit this one out.

Joe Blankenship

Yeah, it's been a long time since I've seen it. Not so long since Eurotrip.

RationallySassy

Ice Princess is a great movie (good soundtrack from what I remember), great actors, good lessons. It's my pick but you can't go wrong with any of these. I do feel like she plays less of a main role in Eurotrip as she does in some of the other films but she makes that movie pretty great.

Michael Parker

CUTTING EDGE! CUTTING EDGE! CUTTING EDGE!! (...and Ice Castles 1978)

Michael Parker

Well, so, yeah...

Jim Altman

It has to be Eurotrip. It’s a movie that we’re going to have her watch eventually anyways. It’s just a perfect movie for Ashleigh.

Eric Fremen

Come on guys. Eurotrip is just an ok film. Harriet the Spy was her first film, her breakout into the movies, and she was fantastic in it!! Plus, it was a great film. Also the first Nickelodeon film. With Rosie O’Donnell (who was also wonderful in it), and the hilarious legend Eartha Kitt. It’s hands-down, the most nostalgic film on the list for a lot of us, not to mention the best one on there. And, along with Nona (from Adventures of Pete and Pete) and Dawn (from Buffy) it’s Trachtenberg’s best and most iconic role. One that we 90’s kids related to and absolutely adored. Which is why her death was so incredibly devastating. I’m still gutted because she felt like a friend we all related to back in the 90s. She was wonderful.

Joe Blankenship

Don't spoil Buffy cuz Ashleigh doesn't know.

JC

Harriet the Spy not winning is an actual joke. I think I'll just remember Michelle my own way, Eurotrip is simply not for me.

James Falato

Sorry... Me no know Michelle Well... You will give a Great Reaction for Any Film(s) You choose...

Dissonant Bard

It is and one of my go to just feel good movies

Cory H

Eurotrip definitely is a fit for this channel

Charity Konusser (the chonus)

I agree - I wish it were ahead, but them's the breaks

Mr Marvelous

I feel your already tributing Michelle Trachtenberg by watching Buffy. I have been waiting on Bob Ueker tribute by watching Major League. I voted Eurotrip but I really want Major League for Bob Ueker.

Cristina Collins-Armstrong

I love Ice Princess but I know it does not have a chance. Might I suggest a Winter Olympics month next year? Cool Runnings, Miracle, Eddie The Eagle, Ice Princess, The Cutting Edge, lots of options to fill a month...

Nick Velasquez

Not talking about the plot I’m talking about the acting in the editing But while talking about the plot the movie does get serious (with the somewhat spoilery notes you mentioned) then just abruptly ends with no earned resolution. Michelle is fantastic in it, but I think as a kids movie or even as just a movie it’s not as great as I remember it being.

EJN

Never seen EuroTrip but I hear it’s raunchy, stupid humor so it may be right up her alley lol.

Nicole

You HAVE to do Harriet the Spy for Michelle. That was her BIG movie!

Nostalgio

I beg to differ, the movie took a VERY serious turn when her nanny leaves and she has to face the reality of her peers turning against her. It deals with childhood trauma and mental health. It would be a great watch for Ashleigh. 💯

Adam Doyle

Best to have a moderator read comments ahead of time to prevent people from spoiling Buffy. Sad but people don't always realize what they are commenting about.

Darrin Hicks

I haven’t actually seen any of her movies, so I can’t speak on that. Maybe if you pick one I’ll do it with your watch-along. I’ll always be a fan of her work on Buffy. She was far too young to be gone from this world.

Jonathan Wiking

I grew up with inspector gadget so I voted for that. 💖

Nick Velasquez

If I hadn’t just rewatched Harriet the spy I would have picked that…but it doesn’t really hold up as a movie seeing it as an adult. Cheese upon cheese even for a kids movie

D Anthony

I voted for Harriet the Spy because I haven’t seen anyone do a reaction to that movie at all, but would love to see her have a fun time with Eurotrip as well.

Adam Doyle

Shhhh....

Stewart Shutler

and to get to her sooner snd help avoid spoilers, there should be no delays between watchings of seasons.

Adam Doyle

You'll love EuroTrip!

Anthony New

Eurotrip!!!! Definitely watch UNRATED version!!!!

Collinson

Fingers crossed for EuroTrip it's hilarious.

Nostalgio

Listen you gotta see the movie that made her become such an icon, and that was Harriet The Spy, it launched her as a child star. Now if we wanna get into her young adulthood then Eurotrip for the memes. But she was brilliant May God rest her soul. 🕊️
