man wish Ordinary People would be reacted to.

Sam and Dan, this is an excellent category. Every one of them should be featured at some point. And beyond “Best Picture” status, the 80s produced a treasure trove of wonderful movies that didn’t get nominated. Same for the 70s and 90s.

I can't believe how far off the map The Color Purple is nowadays. a fantastic movie that launched the careeers of Whoopie Goldberg and Oprah Winfrey

The Verdict - one of the best courtroom dramas ever

Donna Castellano

Mississippi Burning is such a good one. One of my favorite Gene Hackman (RIP) roles.

Paul Cox

A few other channels have had difficulty getting The Color Purple past copyright. It's possible, but it might require a lot of edits, re-edits, and edits to your re-edits. Doesn't appear it will win this time, but make a note for the future.

David Wilkins

Most of them seem to be slaves to an algorithm. And a lot of it seems to be lack of knowledge and exposure. So many great movies need a new audience.

The top 3 barely have any reactions on YT and they're incredible films. I don't know what's going on in Reactorland

I’m thrilled to see Mississippi Burning with the early lead. It’s a hard hitting true story with an outstanding cast that includes Willem Dafoe, Gene Hackman, Brad Dourif, Frances McDormand, and others. If it wins, I can take it off my list of monthly drawing titles.

David Wilkins

Yes, it’s been my monthly drawing entry a few times, and is again for this month.

The Verdict is a stunning courtroom drama and one of Paul Newman's best. I know it won't win but Sam will love this though she will be so tense throughout
