FRANCHISE FRIDAYS
🕑 Added 2024-12-14 15:00:11 +0000 UTCHi yes helllooo It's time to plan our Fridays in January!
Marvel did win for the past 2 months so I'll give you all a break from that. :)
Movies in January will be to watch HAllobeans' winners and those are:
Count of Monte Cristo (2002), The Client (1994), ANDDDDD one more winner couldn't decide so I'll make another poll soon for you to pick from for that later in the week.
Then the last Monday in January in actually my mom's birthday - I'm going to see if she's like to film something with me, but she is very introverted so don't get your hopes up. I'll at least ask her if she wants to pick a movie for me to watch.

I do hope Mission Impossible makes it onto another Franchise poll. They're all SO good and I think Ashleigh will love them.
nycDawn
Was coming here to suggest this (better late than never) to hopefully get it on her radar. Surprised HG or Pride and Prejudice wasn’t watched for Donald Sutherland’s passing
Steven Huwig
There is an Alien: Romulus sequel greenlighted and a streaming series coming out. Let’s rock!
Nocke Devilkyn
Me too. I know Ashleigh is loving Buffy and really wants to continue it and I am all in for that!
Vicious Trollop
Y'all always have the best suggestions! I love Strictly Ballroom!
Mr Marvelous
It's for free on Roku
Steve Quast
I'd already voted for Jurassic Park, but it's still in second place. I don't know how many more votes there are going to be at this point.
JC
Can you tell us what's losing to The Boys?
Cass&Jason
She could do the Baz Luhrmann "Red Curtain Trilogy" -- Strictly Ballroom, Romeo + Juliet, and Moulin Rouge!
ssb031
The Oceans movies are really good too.. I didn't even know there was one with the Rat Pack so I guess I need to find that and watch it. Some say watch it, some say it's not as good as the Clooney ones...
ssb031
I LOVE the Jurassic Park movies, so I hope it wins.. but another franchise suggestion.. Harold & Kumar! There's only three! The last one is a Christmas movie, but that wouldn't be bad for January. And they'd be even better if you were "elevated". LOL
ssb031
agree 100%!! I would LOVE to see her watch the rest of them!!! It's one of my favorite all-time franchises besides Marvel.
EJN
Bummer but Boys is a good alternative I guess.
Michael Tocci
Buffy not on the poll (will return for Feb poll). Looks like Boys Season 2 gunna win
Curtis Martin
She has seen all 6 movies. I said what said.
MidNite1869
Fair point I totally forgot that but it's still a good franchise to see the rest of them
EJN
All good choices. Does anyone know what series won for Wednesdays? I REALLY hope it’s season 3 of Buffy!!
Michael Tocci
Original Jurassic Park is on the channel (in case you haven't seen)
MidNite1869
I implore everybody to vote Jurassic Park. Don't get me wrong ocean's 11 is really good but I want to see her face when she sees how realistic it can look
Joseph Stevenson
To be sure, the Niven/Sellers/Allen/Welles “Casino Royale” was MEANT to be a spoof. Still, IMO it is pretty wretched. To me, the only good thing in it is the song “The Look of Love. Peter Sellers was so intimidated by Orson Welles that he refused to appear in any scenes together. The film did reportedly inspire “Austin Powers.”
Mr Marvelous
Start with the 60s Ocean's 11
JC
Ok if we're watching The Count of Monte Cristo this year, PLEASE lets get V for Vendetta on the channel finally
Stephanie Chapman
Finish Star Wars please
Andy H.
Same here. If it was a reasonable amount, it would be great to watch them and not see the constant whinging.
Andy H.
She's watching them in order and is already well into the Bond series. She's watched all of Connery and the one Lazenby, and is now into the Roger Moore movies.
Kenton Kruger
She's in the middle of two straight months of Marvel. After this month, how many more movies even are there? 3 or 4? And maybe 1/2 dozen shows. Relax Sparky, she'll get to them.
Jaren
You going to take regular reaction requests? Is that what Monday’s are? MCU is the best to get through cuz it pays off. These others don’t really. Maybe they do to others. Idk but I’m really trying to continue Buffy and get to Deadpool and Wolverine.
Jaren
MCU.
Jaren
Deadpool and Wolverine is good. Better than other franchises.
Meredith Shivers
Casino Royale is funny, it's supposed to be a spoof and not take itself seriously!
Kenton Kruger
Well, she already saw The Matrix and the rest are crap, so there is that...
Robert Miller
You are never going to get through Marvel at this rate..
Joe Blankenship
I'll take the worst MCU movies over most of the Bond movies though.
Cass&Jason
Wow. That's entirely unnecessary.
Joe Blankenship
If Oceans is gonna win, I hope we can skip the original one. This is one where the remake is vastly better than the original.
Joe Blankenship
She needs to check out the Clerks: Animated Series. It's only 6 episodes. Could knock that out in one sitting.
Michael Parker
...and I will continue to 'whine'. They (and DC by proxy) are just...generally...not good.
Michael Parker
Yep!
Michael Parker
tell me your a 90s kid without telling me your a 90s kid
Alijammy
A good choice where I don’t really mind what wins. Am also loving Buffy and would like to put in a shout out for a reaction to Bugsy Malone
Alyssa Cartwright
Bond is huge. Start small. The oceans movies should end with Oceans 8 as well.
Joseph Stevenson
Moore: The Spy who Loved Me. Dalton: Licence to Kill Brosnan: GoldenEye Craig: Tomorrow Never Dies
Joseph Stevenson
Here comes a list of James Bond movies, one for each actor who played the role in a movie, excluding the non-Broccoli Casino Royal, which had David Niven and Woody Allen, and Peter Sellers as Bond. It is a wretched movie. Since you do not watch Vertigo (ranked as the best movie ever by Sight and Sound), you may as well play one of the very worst. Anyway, here is a list of Bond films by lead actor: Connery (From Russia with Love, which is overall the best one as an espionage thriller) or Goldfinger ( the epitome of the Bond action film). (Also it has a few of my coworkers in it at Ft Knox) Lazenby: On Her Majesty’s Secret Service ( his only portrayal, quite good plus has the very best “Bond girl” (Diana Rigg)
YodatheHobbit
So much thought control. You're calling THEM cynical?
David Billings
Lovely choices all. I look forward to any of them.
Lynette Cummins
Good point.
Scott Ikemire
If nothing else Ocean’s is a short franchise. She can knock that out in a month and start a new one.
Chris
Hey Ashleigh how about an Aussie flick?
Lynette Cummins
It's lost several polls in a row. Ashleigh would love Daniel Craig but there are 11 in front of him. I'm bummed about it.
Omar Anzaldua
I continue to push for Rocky/Creed
Lynette Cummins
I'm sad that James Bond is losing once again. I know she would really like them when she gets to Pierce Brosnan. I also really like Mission Impossible, but it's doing worse. Ugh. Ocean's 11 is good, the rest are just ok. We'll see if Ashleigh likes them since it's gonna win.
Steve Friedman
What's your next TV show when you finish Buffy Season Two? I'd love to see you watching The Good Place.
Steve Friedman
Agreed. The original Rat Pack version was more of a variety show showcase than a movie. I see the franchise as starting with the Clooney version.
Steve Friedman
The only good Jusassic Park movie was the first one. The only good Matrix movie was the first one. The only good Alien movies were the first two. I feel like these should be removed from franchise polls. She's already seen the good ones, and the rest are cynical cash grabs that will just disappoint her.
Adam Doyle
All great but I think you would get a kick out of the oceans movie (the first 3) and don't bother with the original (1960
Travis Underwood
When did View Askew get removed from all these?!?! :)
JC
The first Jurassic Park is already on the channel, this would be to continue the franchise
JC
honestly, if Ashleigh wanted to just watch all the Marvel content she wants and put it on another tier, I'd happily pay for a higher tier if it meant I didn't have to see people whining about it every time
Ian Cano
I agree!
Suzel Saraiva
Very excited for "The Count of Monte Cristo"! One of my favourite movies. Quite honestly every one of those options should be on your to watch list!
Cindy Byrne
Putting in an early suggestion for Valentine's Day - Roman Holiday.
Richard Stegman Jr.
Please finish the Bond franchise!
jonny miller
SUBMITTING “BAND OF BROTHERS” FOR A FRANCHISE SUGGESTION, AS USUAL, HAHA. LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING THE UPCOMING EPISODES!
Liz Zero
I would LOVE to see Ashleigh’s reaction to Jeff Goldblum in Jurassic Park. 🔥
Liz Zero
She’s going to LOVE the “Ocean’s” movies but she neeeeds to watch Jurassic Park.
Tara
OMG so excited for Count of Monte Cristo, one of my all time faves. Hope you love it, Ashleigh!
Joe Blankenship
I would've voted for Marvel again. But there's always that handful of people that have to complain about it.
Vicious Trollop
Although I would love a return to James Bond, my vote has to go to the Oceans movies. They are just so good & so fun to watch. I think it would be a great start to 2025!
PieHard13
Train To Busan. . . . WHEN ?
Kristopher Long
The ocean movies? Really? Over the matrix? Jesus you're a bunch of morons
James
I would love for her to eventually check out The Room, but I would like her to do it as a crossover with someone who has already seen it to help her out
Elliot Nesterman
As there are five Fridays this January you could do all five Ocean movies: Ocean's Eleven original; Ocean's Eleven remake; Ocean's Twelve; Ocean's Thirteen; Ocean's 8.
Brittany Winter
Oh I know
Michael Tocci
She has reacted to Overboard
Brittany Winter
I totally agree overboard I grew up on
Echo Moon
Agatha was really good.
Echo Moon
If so she totally needs to do a Kurt Russell poll with a list of his films like: Overboard (1987), Soldier (1998), Breakdown (1997), Miracle (2004) etc.
Brittany Winter
Alien I'll always choose. But why not do like a actors Franchise, like pick a actor who's done many sequels to the og film they did?
Philip De Leon
Though I did vote for Oceans here, I would like to say there's a reason Marvel won the last two months. You're so close to catching up on all the MCU stuff and there are some gems with Ms Marvel, Agatha All Along, etc.
Michael Buhl
Will you be including the original 1960 Ocean's Eleven movie with Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis Jr.?
RationallySassy
All great choices, woo!
Stezio Decardi
I'd really like to get Harold and Maude, sometime around Valentine's Day!! ❤
ROBERT T PODLASKI
Bicentennial man... starting my yearly request early!
Cosmic Slice
The Oceans films are the most fun of what's on the poll so that is where my vote lies!
ingibingi2000
No rocky on the list?
Cass&Jason
Hunger Games! (I know it's not on this poll, just want to make sure it stays in the convo.)
