Poll: Voyage of the Damned (1976) it is.

We shared a list of new to streaming titles and then polled you on which  new-to-streaming titles that Nathaniel had never seen did he have to watch and write about? The winner by a considerable margin was Voyage of the Damned (1976). This all star WW II era drama about a ship carrying German Jewish refugees away from Nazi Germany was nominated for 3 Oscars (including Supporting Actress) and 6 Golden Globes (including Best Picture Drama) and is now streaming on HBO. So watch it this week and we'll discuss on Monday February 24th. 

The vote totals if you're interested:

  1. Voyage of the Damned (1976) - 40% of the votes
  2. The Tin Drum (1979) - 14% of the votes
  3. Lonely Passion of Judith Hearne (1987) -14% of the votes
  4. The Island (2005) - 13% of the votes
  5. Footlight Parade (1933), Captain Kronos: Vampire Hunter (1974), Dirty Harry (1971), and Gate of Hell (1953) divvied up the remaining votes with under 5% each.

NATHANIAL, you're such a fun guy. I really can't imagine you'll like the joyless slog that it VOYAGE OF THE DAMNED. The known-before-you-watch-the-movie fact that all the characters are destined for the death camps also makes it kind of hard to laugh at it as a camp fest. That said, I'm interested in what he has to say on this film, and really, anything.

If you do, perhaps you can title your post,
The Lonely Passion of Nathaniel Rogers

Daniella—Whatever the merits of this film, it’s incredibly presumptive to think that a new watcher can’t get any reward from this expansive story. It’s an important piece of history. Don’t be so dismissive.

Besides, Nathaniel didn't participate in that particular smackdown, so I am pretty sure this would give him a paragraph (more would be cheating this exercise) on that very fascinating and iconic race.
