This is such a perfect summation of the problem with the movie selections I had to write a long-delayed reply to commend it. You basically put your finger on the reason why the slot died.

S R

The people who voted for it I guess

mwdoom - I'm not sure what you mean?

W Martin "So if you could just add it to the poll that would be great"

no spoilers ;)

It is an odd choice, Love Actually. Its a romantic chick flick, realistically not reeally for watching on your own. solid cast though

Steve Read

Office Space is a fantastic film. Would get my vote, definitely.

Colin Bayley

I don't watch the movie's. I don't vote on the movie's. The list's are littered with paint by number's comedy films. It's like they've made a 100 hour film and every 90 minutes or so they pass the batton to a new cast and sets and the comedy is exactly the same and the characters are exactly the same. There are some good films on the list but most of them are not good reaction films. You need to have events in them that someone can have a reaction too. Either comic or action. I can without watching tell you what Joshs reaction to Whicker Man was like. An hour and half of short comments on the weirdo's doing weirdo things. A couple of gags during Brits dance. And most of the talking at the set piece at the end. It would have been better to ask him to watch it and post a 10 minute video with his conclusions. How can a film about a man being slowly consumed by evil be a good reaction film. The good films on the list are mostly very cerebral and don't make interesting reaction films. How can you make him sit through 3 hours of Titanic. Nothing happens until the ship starts sinking. If he doesn't like romance. God help him. The film choice needs a complete overhaul. Josh needs to lay down some stipulations and ground rules about the style of films that make the list. There's so many that trundle along then all of a sudden nothing happens.

Wow some terrible movies on the list to react to. Not really a fan of movie reactions. I think it would be better to have a list of comedy stand up/specials to react to instead. Much shorter and more entertaining. Who has the time to sit though 3 hours of Titanic!!

Danny

Use his site to help navigate old stuff better. Its pretty upto date but has all the old stuff https://www.afterworkreactions.com/

I’ll get my coat 🤣

Its soo good. I think it counts as a cult classic now. I saw one Youtuber do a reaction to it and got like 300k views. Needs to be seen by everyone! A film that everyone who seen it comes out the woodwork to show their love for.

Rich Moyse

Hey Josh, I’ve been here in the background a long time now, any chance you could add ‘dead mans shoes’ to the next movie poll…..cheers mate

Richard M

Great film

Funny That

Love Actually is a great choice to follow-up as a long desert after a good boozy meal with your lass/lad. Or so I would presume as I've been merrily living a life never having seen Titanic without really trying to avoid it. Still to each their own and whats life without trying something you wouldn't every once in a while. ;^)

mrtheevilmage

I'm just voting Kung-fu hustle cause its fun af

Lee

Titanic is fine in my opinion, but Love Actually is a bit of an odd choice.

Danny

Titanic will always get flack but it is a BIG landmark movie in film history and I think everyone should watch it just to say theyve seen it, for better or worse. Visually its amazing

Gareth Hood

Ladykillers for me Such easier looking times In colour version

W Martin

I love your reactions Josh and been a sub since early Bottom/Peep Show days, I have requested Office Space for the last few polls and it's not been added to the poll or already watched. I know it won't win as it's not that popular a film, but would really appreciate it being noted and added

Ben

The thing about Titanic is, in my opinion, the elements that are good, are really great, but you could cut out so much of that movie and it could be even better. Jack & Rose take up far too much of the film, I know they're the main characters, but why are they?

Stephen Richards

Top Secret has got to be the best spoof I've ever seen

Ben

Consider giving a vote to Hunt for the Wilderpeople, quite similar to Jojo Rabbit which Josh enjoyed, same director, less heavy subject matter, great performances. It's disappointing that it's not doing all that well in the polls. (Obviously if you have seen it and don't like it, then disregard my comment!)

Ash Jeffries

I think Titanic gets a lot of unnecessary stick. At the time, everyone seemed to love it. These days it's quite fashionable to slate it. It's not artistically excellent or a dramatic masterpiece by any stretch but it's technically brilliant, some great performances, and enjoyable blockbuster fare. Oh, and David Warner RIP.

will doyle

As we lost David Warner recently I've voted Titanic, not a fan of the love story but the action involving the ships sinking is fantastic.

BelladonnicHazeyJaneII

Very few of the film choices are appealing to me this month to be honest. I'm a bit surprised Love Actually is doing so well given Josh doesn't like romance stuff. I wish 2 Sundays a month were movies and 2 were live stand up comedy shows, personally, but that's just me being selfish because I'm not a huge fan of most of the film options :D I think I'll vote for The Elephant Man because it's been on the polls from the beginning and never makes it plus Josh will get to see one of Karl P's favourite films 🙂

Chris

The Guard, Sightseers and Hunt For The Wilderpeople the stand out films here.

Jay

Grosse Pointe Blank and Eternal Sunshine still not getting the love they deserve. :(

David L

Can you add 24 Hour Party People please? Has loads of UK comedians you've become accustomed to

Ben

I don't mind it, but it's a Christmas movie, who would want to watch it in August? Also, Josh has stated multiple times that he does not like romance in movies, it's just not something he enjoys, so why recommend it to him?

lime

can't believe the likes of The Ladykillers, The Producers and Twelve Monkeys is being beaten by stuff like Law Abiding Citizen and Love Actually. Who is voting on these polls and what happened to their taste?

Cherzo

You aren't that bad

Luke Barron

Titanic is a brilliant film. Love actually...not so much.

Jade Nepia

omg you have some awful subscribers lol

Jake Lol

please can you add green street next month

Richard M

I really do try not to do the whole criticising other people's taste thing, but oh my god Love Actually. The absolute nadir of safe yet vaguely trying to be edgy, creepy middle class fuckery. URGH!
