Those movies are MADE for Ashleigh! I think she did Spinal Tap back in the day? She would especially like the more modern ones.

Just as a quick sidebar - I'd LOVE Ashleigh to consider A Christopher Guest Mockumentary franchise for Fridays. That includes For Your Consideration, Mascots, Best In Show, A Mighty Wind, and Waiting for Guffman. Just a thought - I think she would find them pretty delightful. 😁

UGH.. god.. pleeeeese not John Wick. They're dumb! The firefights are completely unrealistic. They're just BLECH!!!

ssb031

Same!

CinWin

All of the above!!!!!

I really hope that we eventually finish the James Bond franchise including the Battle of the Bonds from 1983. The Dirty Harry franchise because Clint Eastwood is getting up in years and you WILL feel lucky. The Road pictures starring Bing Crosby and Bob Hope. Finally the Sherlock Holmes franchise which spans almost 100 years, about forty films and at least three television series!

The Bourne movies are SO good! Full of action and intrigue. I think you'll really like them. It was a hard choice between these (except for John Wick. I think those are just awful). I almost voted for the multi option. I'd love to see you finish those!

Ashleigh Burton

mulhalland drive is on channel

I think we need a poll... there are pros and cons to showing her anything he did.

Vicious Trollop

I actually love all of these options! I voted for John Wick because Keanu Reeves has been my future husband since Bill & Ted, but I'm eager to watch all of these with Ashleigh. I hope all of these options will be on polls until we get to all of them 😁

With the passing of David Lynch today I suggest a memoral watch of either Mulholland Drive, Blue Velvet, or Eraserhead.

Bruce R Wilson

Don't forget to include "Major League" to honor the passing of Bob Uecker.

Charity Konusser (the chonus)

We've got to put a David Lynch film on her schedule now. She's already seen Mulholland Drive, so where do we go - Blue Velvet? Maybe something more grounded like The Elephant Man? Or should we push for Twin Peaks for the next TV show?

Ian Harrison

I agree, but it is imperative that the 1966 Batman movie is included

Stephanie Chapman

Wha?? You've just made my day!

James

I would like to see her take on the rest of the Batman and Superman movies this year

True. I hate it when people don't understand that something being "like" something is monodirectional. An older thing is never like a new thing. It's not possible for an old stunt to copy a new stunt which doesn't exist yet. New things, if not a completely unique idea, are recreations of old things. Unless a filmmaker is a genus like Lucas, Spielberg or Nolan for example, filmmakers mostly do things inspired by parts in films they're already familiar with. And even they still often were inspired by old war films, etc and put a twist on it.

YodatheHobbit

Enough Bond for a while. And it'll take a while to get through Bourne and Wick too. They're all films about one badass fighter/spy type person, and that can get dull when the reactions come out so consistently. Sometimes being in the mood for a single genre can be temporary. They're fun and I love some of them, but it removes the ability to watch more variety of films too much. We already had a long amount of time where they were regular. We only JUST got the Oceans movies out of the way to have room for more variety of different duo films. Let's have a good amount of time where those who aren't interested in watching specific things don't have to skip a reaction day for weeks.

Fabulous feature film franchises for Friday female fans.

davidov

I hope you do some more Bond movies, there are so many things that they were the first to do.... It always hurts a bit when people have seen newer movies first and when they see something they recognize from a recent movie done in a Bond flick 40 years ago they go "ah this is just like that recent movie" where it's actually the other way around lol.

James Sharp

Both. Starting with the Robert Wise film from 1979 (which I think would be Ashleigh's "Dr. No". Not her favorite, but she'll love the others), on to the Next Generation films to the J. J. Abrams reboots. She's done Star Wars, and she loved Galaxy Quest. Just seems natural.

Richard Stegman Jr.

Finish the freaking Bond movies. Pretty please with a cherry on top?

JC

I tried to watch the first Wick movie a few years ago, but it was very soon after a national tragedy involving firearms, so watching a movie like John Wick just made me feel really icky. Maybe this time will be better.

Malya Donoff

I know you were gifted “noises off” in the very first live unboxing. It’s my favorite movie. I literally pissed myself in 6th grade laughing at this and I hadn’t even started smoking weed yet. Lots of big stars. Plus it’s a theater kid nostalgia. (Aka weedmaven)

Meredith Shivers

Original or Remake, or both?

Meredith Shivers

She said that she did, she just hasn’t put the video up yet.

Stephanie Chapman

More 80s and 90s, less film series and TV shows please. And please watch Working Girl !

Clay W

Aww I know it's not gonna win, but The Mighty Ducks trilogy has a special place in my heart. I hope you'll watch them eventually.

Thomas

I don’t know about John Wick, I love the movie but I don’t want to traumatize Ashleigh

Chris

Solid list top to bottom. Can keep all of these coming back.

Ashleigh Burton

VERY MUCH on my radar!

Ashleigh Burton

never too early for hallobeans

Cal

I never thought of that. That’s a good point. I’ll change my vote. :)

Jimazoid

I wanna see you keep watching James Bond.

Lynette Cummins

Best car chase is in Boune 2.

Wendy Smith

You had me at Airplane 2.

Lynette Cummins

He absolutely is.

Lynette Cummins

John Wick is cool, but I'm a James Bond girl through and through. I want to get Ashleigh to Pierce and Daniel. ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 Also, love the mix & match. It gets a bunch done in one month. Win win.

EJN

Ugh Jurassic Park didn’t make the cut. I’ve never seen the Wick films so here’s hoping we can get back to some Bond movies!

Gio Vidrio

Is Keanu a future ex husband or naaahhh?? Lmao!

Bill Bevins

You still need to do The Four Musketeers which is the second part of the story.

Cal

I’d love for her to do *28 Weeks Later*, but *John Wick* and *Bourne* I think she’d just enjoy more. And just throwing this out there—*Exorcist 3* for the next Hallowbeans, please. I know it’s both early and late for that, but I’m just putting it out there. :)
