- Welcome back to Staff Picks. This week, the gang is choosing for the Drama Shelf. And the choices get a little, well, dramatic.
This is Staff Picks, a brand new show from Cracked. Join Patrick Willems, Danielle Radford, and friends as they curate the greatest video store movie selection the world has ever seen. Every week they'll each pick a movie from one of the big four genres. Then between the four of them, they have to unanimously decide which movie earns a spot on shelves of their dream store. Thank you for shopping at Staff Picks.

#movies #standbyme #drama - Komedie
Will Smith absolutely should have rapped the plot of Suicide Squad and King Richard under the credits.
It is officially Fun to dunk on Patrick when he picks avant-garde, high art films for this show. Keep doing it!
I'm very happy with this segment. I think direct interaction is kind of the last thing the revives Cracked channel really needed.
Bill Murray was pretty dramatic. 😂
Oh, definitely. The comedy was secondary to the story and primary beat of the movie. Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson really ground any scene they're in, and even Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd tone down their comedic rhythm seen in other films of theirs.
Looking forward to Chinisha choosing The English Patient for comedy.
It can be a drama. A Lovecraftian drama, just like Re-Animator and From Beyond.
You ever have a feeling you've been here before? lol
CZcams must listen on your microphone because there was a kid screaming in the supermarket and it sounded like the Ghostbusters siren, and now this appears on the list? Coincidence!!
Excellent pick!
Y'all need to get Mikey Neumann on as a guest sometime
Yes!
Why was it taken down?
I've seen Red! It was like the 2nd thing we had to watch in my first film class after our 1st movie which of course was Citizen Kane. And I don't remember a thing about it.
The moment I saw Bound I knew it had to win, iconic
I'm a drunk drawer, too.
I think my pick would've been Fisher King.
Wow, Deja Vu. Love the picks. After a second watching, i still agree with Danielle. Lol
No
It's Horror Comedy
A group of Renegade scientists go into business of capturing and eliminating spectral anomalies and apperitions
Did something get the original taken down? I'll watch it again, but I am a little confused.
EDIT: OH, so that _wasn't_ my phone screwing up the audio.
I am surprised those cassettes are even watchable. Magnetic strip degrates after 10 years.
Climate control helps. Some of these haven't even been unsealed.
Honestly, I think it might have been "Ghostbusters" cinematographer László Kovács who said that they intentionally shot the film like it was a drama/horror film and not a comedy. So calling it a drama isn't that far off the mark! That's also why the more dramatic and horrific moments work so well. They take everything in the movie seriously, which gives it stakes.
Movies I would've looked for: Total Recall, My Girl, and The Sandlot
My Girl would be a great pick, but the other two are comedy and sci-fi. The genre this week was drama.
@@bl3343 I know, but they are only doing 4 main genres. There's going to be a lot of blurred lines
I liked the comment about Siskel and Ebert not liking Starship Troopers. I am old enough to remember their review and they simply didn't know it was a satire. I find that hilarious since, for me, at least, the satire vibes kicked in immediately.
Stand by me, was my favorite movie for a long time. Until i saw Kung-fu Hustle 😁
Yeah it actually can be considered a drama! 🤣🤣🤣
Bound = erotic thriller = not a drama.
18:46 I mean, Will Smith did do an Alvin and the Chipmunks rap in 1992.
Ghostbusters as drama...
It's a bold move, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off.
Firing Daniel O’Brien was pretty dramatic.
The only problem with this is that any movies that anyone in this group would pick ALL should be in any good video store
100% I would have picked the VHS of CQ, which you can see in the Action video for my Drama pick....
I see Don Cherry’s ‘Eternal Rhythm’ LP in the background
The remake? Yes! The oldies? Nah those were action comedies
The most recent time I watched Bound I decided to watch it as a mafia movie first and a lesbian movie second. I've always been a little dissapointed in it because it's very very very gay in the first half hour but I feel like that peters off once the engine of the movie gets started and they try to knock over the mob. So I just decided it was a mob movie with a very heavy sapphic component and the movie got way better. It's famous for how gay it is, but it's a really well made crime film.
Why not stock all four movies in the video store
I'm surprised Patrick picked Red. I didn't realize he's such a Bruce Willis fan.😊
My pick would have been Eyes Wide Shut. That movie is sexy AF.
My pick would've been Secret of Nihm.
Me: I wonder if they reuploaded to correct that "wachowskis didn't write the matrix" comment?
They did not correct that. The lawsuit in question was thrown out for lack of evidence.
Suggested title:
Glasses Group Gregariously Gabs of Genre Groupings.
(Sorry, couldn't think of another word with the correct hard-G consonance.)
Also:
Glasses Group Gregariously Gabs of Ghostbusters' Grouping.
The Outsiders
Stay gold, Ponyboy
This is Cracked, now? I apparently missed their other "new," episodes. I'll have to check those out in a few, when this dreck is done.
Matrix totally ripped off both Dark City and 13th Floor.
How did the Matrix rip off 13th Floor, a movie released after it?
Matrix came out, like, a whole three weeks before 13th Floor.
How did they rip off one movie that wasn't even released yet while they were filming and another that hadn't been filmed?
I would've enjoyed that video back in the day, but it's literally clouded by too much ego smugness.
Cracked and Patrick Williams is the worst team up since the Axis Powers
