Yes, Mystic River! There are many movies, and about as many reasons for watching them. But truthfully, I’m ready for substance, and this selection brings it, both subject and filmmaking.

Sweeet, thanks ☺️

Ellie Miller

YES! The Schmitt List!

TBR Schmitt

I love that name 😂 Noirvember

TBR Schmitt

I believe there is a block feature you can utilize, if needed -Sam

TBR Schmitt

It is!

Birdie Num Num

I also wish Noirvember would catch on with reactors.

Tim Raths

Too bad your schedule is full for the month because it would be cool to get a couple film noir reactions for Noirvember. Double Indemnity and Sunset Boulevard would be perfect watches.

David Crabtree

I would like to highly request "13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi"

Trepanation21

Same. I think me and a couple others had recommended it after they watched Prisoners, which put it on their radar. I messaged it as a follow-up recc in October, and Sam said that they're going to include it in one of the upcoming polls, so that might be our time to strike!/vote. Meanwhile, I've been mentioning it here and there to help keep it from collecting dust. Haha.

Shehab Dawoud

Are we the same person? LOL. I’d include Batman Returns since they’re about to watch Batman 89. I think Returns is far superior as a film, and it does take place At Christmas.

Future Boy

Like a lot of people, I watched Mystic River once, loved it, then never returned to it. It's a tough watch, but I'm really looking forward to my long-overdue second viewing with you. I know you plan a long way out, so here are my Christmas recommendations: Eyes Wide Shut (1999). Some people hate it, some people love it. I started with hate and moved on to love. I watch it most Christmases now. Kubrick, Cruise, Kidman, and about a thousand Christmas trees! The Ref (1994). After watching nearly all of your full-length reactions, and getting a very good idea of your tastes, I think this is the Christmas film that you've not seen that you'll love the most. A very dark comedy, and maybe my favourite "Christmas Eve Vibe" in any movie I've seen.

Finally, We Were Soldiers, woo-HOO! My personal favorite war movie of all time🤘 Is there anyway to mute specific people on here?

Warren H

Well, to that end, I practiced a couple of snappy one-liners to have ready just in case I ever got shot, but never got to use them.

Shehab Dawoud

I stay away from Mel Gibson but really looking forward to Mystic River! Only seen it once, and it was a while ago, but it is my favorite Eastwood film, behind or in front of the camera. That’s how good I think it is.

Chris Bruneau

when the film came out, some critics said the dialogue was "sappy"--Hal Moore himself gave an interview and said, "I wish my solders could have said some thing more "appropriate" when they were dying--but those were their actual words"

Chris Bruneau

for me its tied with Gran Torino, but I'm with you , bro

Chris Bruneau

Dan and Sam; "we were soldiers", is based on a book by Joe Galloway, a journalist who was actually present during the battle of Ia Drang. (he's played by Barry Pepper) I read that book, and I want you to know every detail in that film really happened--so its eerily like a documentary. (even I thought some unbelievable stuff was made-up or exaggerrated, but its ALL real)

Chris Bruneau

Oh, man! this is going ot be a great week!!! We were soldiers and mystic river, both are amazing films!!

Jon

Great choices as always. <3

christopher brown

Great, We were soldiers

Shehab Dawoud

I prefer The Simpsons parody ‘The Count of Monte Fatso’ tbh.

David Lengyel

Is Wind River even on the table? I want to rewatch it, but I'm saving it for watch along with Sam & Dan. Yet I don't want to wait 6 more months, lol

Vlasios Vougiouklis

RRR

Trepanation21

Mystic River yesss. Listen. While, yes, it's not the "Wind River" that I want them to see, it's got 'River' in the title, so we're getting closer! ayy 😆

Trepanation21

IT BETTER BE! The story is one of the greatest of all time in its genre, and that 2002 adaptation is so enjoyable. I've come back to it time and again, and recently shared it with some friends who really liked it.

djKENTO

It’s hard for me to pick between this and Million Dollar Baby. I also love all the trash he directed in the 70s and 80s. He took a long time before he made a truly GOOD movie.

djKENTO

Proof Jim Caviezel could have been an Oscar winning star if he wasn’t so hard to work with and didn’t rot his brain with Q-anon. Genuinely great film.

Ellie Miller

Just curious, is The Count of Monte Cristo (2002) on your lists?

Florian Meier

Yes !!! Love Both Films !!! Clint Eastwood is such an Amazing Director !!! Mystic River is a Masterpiece !!! Oscars for Tim Robbins and Sean Penn !!! Please watch "Play Misty for Me" from 1971 starring and Directed by Clint Eastwood .... "A Perfect World" from 1993 with Clint Eastwood and Kevin Costner also directed by Clint Eastwood

Warren H

We Were Soldiers is literally the ONLY Vietnam movie my Father, Uncle, and two cousins (all of whom are Vietnam vets) will watch. The other, famous ones from the 70s and 80s were mostly written and directed by anti-military folks and it shows, people far more interested in delivering a one -sided message than researching or accurately depicting anything. WWS, on the other hand, is an incredibly accurate depiction of a real, historical battle. I know some people complain about its sentimentality. As a vet of a different war, I can absolutely verify that people who are dying (and have time to think about it) tend to get sentimental.

Steven Montano

Two very hard hitting dramas on the docket this week. Great choices!

Jonny Kerr

All amazing picks. And of course Fargo baby!!! Can’t wait til you find out the Malvo Hanzi connection… haha!!! If you don’t realize it at the end. I’ll make sure and fill you in 🙂 Best series everrrrr.

Jonathan Patrick

Mystic River is great. A masterpiece imo. My fave Clint Eastwood directed film.

TBR Schmitt

Unfortunately, we’ve both seen What Women Want. Such a great movie! -Sam

Duncan

I scrolled down slowly ,seen Mel Gibsons name and had my fingers crossed and got excited for 'What Women Want (2000)' for a split second 😥 But We Were Soldiers is a decent substitute and Mystic is a great watch ,so a very solid schedule
