Wow, looks like Dog Day will finally win a poll after years of losing poll after poll here. I'm shocked.

TRAINSPOTTING

christopher brown

One Life (2023)

Paul Cox

😭

Catherine LW

Not a clear winner anymore. ☹️

Smooticus

I'm good with just about anything with Jennifer Connolly. Come to think of it, The Hot Spot and Rocketeer need to make thier way to the polls

House of Sand and Fog

David Wilkins

Come on, Right Stuff!

christopher brown

The Long Good Friday (1980)

Domino

But so good! 🥹

Domino

I was going to say maybe finally we'll get Dog Day Afternoon, but then I see The Road is there too, oh my god. Yes, please! It's not going to win but... THE ROAD! 😭😭😭😭

Smooticus

I think my favorite Richard Gere movie is Internal Affairs. He's a surprisingly good villain. Officer and a Gentleman is a vlose 2nd

Florian Meier

Second !!! My favorite Richard Gere

Smooticus

Drama considations Dr Zhivago Ran Kagemusha: the Shadow Warrior Miller's Crossing Barton Fink Kingdom of Heaven (director's cut) The Drop

Jeff B.

Ah, yes, “Trainspotting”. The English-languish film that forced me to figure out how to turn on subtitles on my old 13 inch TV/VCR combo.

Chris Bruneau

My God! the Road is so depressing!!!!

Paul Cox

I made a noble push here to get them to react to The Right Stuff the same week Apollo 13 was scheduled (however long ago that was), but alas that didn't happen. I'm hoping they'll get to it sooner or later.

Catherine LW

It’s not that they hooked up, but that it was too lengthy. I can guess what is going to happen 🤓

VivendoBem

It really, really is.

The One True Chris

"The Right Stuff" is the correct response.

Forrest

I glanced at the poll and saw The Road listed and immediately went for it. Dark, but very good.

Paul Cox

I saw Trainspotting in the 90s, and then revisited it during lockdown. I was pretty aloof when I was in my early twenties and wasn't prepared for how soul-crushingly GRIM I found it as a forty-something. Probably won't ever watch it a third time.

Catherine LW

Sidney Lumet (12 Angry Men) and his brilliant directing, Pacino and Cazele’s great acting, Charles Durning’s terrific supporting performance, all based on a true story. Can’t make up the craziness of this story!

Catherine LW

I couldn’t understand most of Trainspotting, lol. Those accents were hard to decipher. I like 28 Days Later and Millions.

Domino

I'm hoping that too!

Seconding Secretary

trainspotting one of the best british films ever not predictable at all

Catherine LW

Wyoming. 😆

Catherine LW

Good news!

Catherine LW

OmGosh, can this be it? Dog Day Afternoon finally winning??? 🤞🏻

Smooticus

I believe in honor of Lou Gossett Jr's passing, they should watch An Officer and a Gentleman

Odd Thomas

There are few films i hate as much as Trainspotting. A better Danny Boyle film is Sunshine (2007)

christopher brown

First Man (2018) a great movie about Neil Armstrong

Paul Cox

For a future drama poll later in the year, the legendary and long-unavailable theatrical cut of Amadeus is finally coming back out this year. The bloated, wandering "director's cut" (that Milos Forman really had nothing to do with) is the only version that's been available for 25 years, so to have the perfect version of the film—the version that millions of people saw and the version that won Best Picture—finally available again means it's good that you've put off reacting to it. Just put it off a little longer.

Mike Tocci

Can't go wrong with classic Al Pacino. Dog Day Afternoon is a great film. And John Cazale (Fredo from The Godfather) co-stars in a spectacular role.

M

For future drama polls: Missing (1982) Secretary (2002) The Sweet Smell of Success (1957)

ElmSt Reactions

Cmon trainspotting. Sam says shes Scottish lol🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💚

Future Boy

For future drama options, Pump up the Volume (1990). My favourite high school movie, my favourite coming of age movie, my favourite Christian Slater movie.

Nick Sneddon

can you just watch Trainspotting already :)

"Midnight Cowboy" (1969) also, that is the very definition of a "drama", great movie, that's another one for future drama polls But THIS poll is a great one! No need to change this one! Just in the future: Sophie's Choice and Midnight Cowboy are both textbook "dramas" that are great additions to a classic "Drama" poll.

Love this poll! Two things for future reference: The Graduate is more of a comedy. Comedy-drama. It's hard to define, it's not one or the other, but it's more of a comedy. Not that I care, I still voted for it! And secondly: for next drama poll, "Sophie's Choice" (1982) Meryl Streep's most incredible performance, Kevin Kline's most incredible performance. That is the very definition of a "drama" and you'll be blown away. That movie should have 20,000 reactions for it.

Florian Meier

For the next Drama Poll please add "Kramer vs Kramer" from 1979 with Dustin Hoffman and Meryl Streep to your list

MateoP

Monte cristo!!

Mr. Chumpus

Oh yeah, Serpico

Smooticus

I won't disagree. Then again 2 people who look like Robert Redford and Faye Dunaway in the mid 1970's not hooking up is a bit unrealistic also ;p

Paul Cox

Will this finally be Dog Day's time to shine? Early returns are pleasing, but there's a long way to go!

Paul Cox

Minor gripe about Condor: I'm absolutely no prude, but that movie has the most unnecessary sex scene ever crammed into a screenplay.

Athos Count de la Fère

I would love to see you react to Cinderella Man with Russell Crowe.

Josip Buretić

Gilbert Grape (1993) till today one of the best acting from DiCaprio

Smooticus

Speaking of the Conversation, I highly recommend Three Days of the Condor with Robert Redford

Smooticus

Every movie on this list is terrific, but I didn't put in a vote for Dog Day because I figure it's going to run away with the voting anyway, and I've seen it too recently. Had to give the Right Stuff a vote because it's awesome and Paris, Texas is one of my favorites. Also gave a vote to the Conversation

Nick Parker

I kinda don't care for any of these movies except for Lost In Translation

Brandon B.

Seeing Dog Day Afternoon on these polls always makes me depressed because I know it'll get votes but only enough votes to come in 2nd or 3rd place...again. Haha. As an Al Pacino fan, it's insane how underrated this film is. It's not like Pacino films haven't won polls before.
