Sad to see The Insider continuing to lag on these polls. Someday...
Birdie Num Num
The non censored version of French Connection is now available on Max
Neal Romanek
Another amazing drama is The Piano - not to be confused with The Pianist. Holly Hunter, Sam Neill, Harvey Keitel.
Neal Romanek
Yeah, lots of really good movies on this poll, but The Pianist is probably the best.
Nick Sneddon
amazing film
Nick Sneddon
yep i would recommend subtitles also!
Catherine LW
Great film!
iliketostayhome
I love Barry Lyndon. Maybe my favorite Kubrick.
Catherine LW
They’ll need subtitles. I tried to watch it and could barely understand half of what they’re saying. Glaswegian accent, I think.
James
The Pianist is the best and most underrated movie on this poll. You guys must watch this. A true story
Catherine LW
Sad that The Pianist is losing. Among the best on the list.
JoshG
The outsiders holds a special place in my heart cause it takes place and was filmed where I live. It’s also a movie that launched a bunch of huge careers
Philip Davetas
Man, TRAINSPOTTING is the best. That said, it might mess up Sam a little.
Bill Woods
October Sky -- High school boys in a WV coal town try to build a rocket.
esclad
Trainspotting is a masterpiece.
David Wilkins
Several good ones here that I would be happy with. Don’t remember if you’ve done it in the past, but continuing to draw from some of these lists in the future would be great. No need in letting all but one strongly voted for title fall by the wayside.
Jonathan Patrick
Legends of the Fall (1994) Meet Joe Black (1998)
Future Boy
My vote's for Mystic River. I saw it once, 20 years ago when it came out. It was great, but boy was it a tough watch. I think I'm finally ready to see it again. I think.
Vlasios Vougiouklis
RRR
Odd Thomas
There are few films I despise more than Trainspotting
Birdie Num Num
City of God being in last place is sort of depressing(and surprising since its #26 on imdb's top 250, which is generally a pretty mainstream sort of list imo).
Florian Meier
Mystic River and Beeing John Malkovich !!! For the next Drama Poll I recommend "Kramer vs Kramer" with Dustin Hoffman and Meryl Streep !!! Both become an Oscar !!! Also i recommend "Marathon Man" from 1976 with Dustin Hoffman and "Papillon" from 1973 With Dustin Hoffman and Steve Mcqueen and "Five Easy Pieces" from 1970 with Jack Nicholson
Athos Count de la Fère
To Live and Die in LA. I was living in LA at the time and the locations were very familiar.
Ian
Had to go for trainspotting because I've never seen it and my brother is always in shock I've never seen it so if it wins I will finally get around to it 👍
James Whalen
Mystic River by far. If anyone hasn’t seen it, you need to.
Brad P
Yeah, it doesn't look like it's streaming anywhere currently. And The French Connection is now apparently difficult to find streaming in its non-censored version.
Mark M
I have only seen To Live and Die reacted to once and that was by special request by myself lol. Apparently it is very difficult to find streaming.
PIG
I voted for just about everything on this poll lol I wasn't particularly helpful. Good choices.
Brad P
While they can just as easily be classified as action/thriller films as they can drama, I highly recommend the late William Friedkin's films The French Connection, Sorcerer and To Live and Die in L.A.
Mike the Ginger
I voted American Beauty. It's the perfect example of a pre-9/11 film. Good movie.
Will D
The Insider is based on a true story, thus a little scary...
Birdie Num Num
very few pre 90s films seem to make the polls. so maybe consider these: Barry Lyndon, Dog Day Afternoon, Nashville, The Conversation, Deliverance, Last Picture Show, Cool Hand Luke, In the Heat of the Night, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Graduate
Jonathan Patrick
The Insider is a Michael Mann masterpiece. Mystic River also one of my faves.
Jason Dolan
Crowe basically won the Oscar for Gladiator for his performance in The Insider - he is good in Gladiator but he was next level in The Insider.
Brian Sevilla
Russell Crowe gives an outstanding performance along with Pacino and Plummer
Patrick Clemens
These are great films to choose from. Would love to see “The Mission” added to the bunch in the future.
Paul Cox
Right? I don't know why any Michael Mann film wouldn't be an automatic yes vote for everyone.
Chris Bruneau
Sam: so glad to hear--I have recommended that film for a long while, its a fantastic Holiday film. My family used to watch it together every Thanksgiving weekend!!
Chris Bruneau
Man, this is a tough list--there are NO bad films on it! I personally love Mystic river and American Beauty
dieselbeast
As far as a suggestion this is more of a crime/drama, I've suggested this before idk if its on your list or not lol it's "Carlitos Way" Al Pacino, it's in the same vein as Scarface/Goodfellas/ A Bronx tale, I know y'all would enjoy it maybe sometime in the future 🙏😊
Nick Sneddon
Has to be Trainspotting, prolly the best British film of the 90s. The Insider is also a film that flies under the radar a lot, it's fantastic
Edward Reaney
Donnie Darko is one of the best films ever made but I will admit, there is no way it can be reacted to in one video. It would take several videos to react to properly. It is a true masterpiece ❤️
Erwin Quiachon
Thanks, Sam. "A River Runs Through It" and "Kramer vs. Kramer" (1979) are two legendary family dramas, especially for young families.
TBR Schmitt
Scent of a Woman is on the schedule for November! -Sam
TBR Schmitt
Oh yes! Definitely on our list! -Sam
Erwin Quiachon
I recommend adding "Scent of A Woman" (1992) for Autumnal season and "A River Runs Through It" (1992)
kbobravo
Mystic River is one of Clint Eastwood's best directed films. One of my favorites growing up.
Jason Dolan
The Insider is so good
Robert Boyd
Anything except American Beauty.
Lee Brennan
American Beauty and Being John Malkovich are such great movies. Hope one of those win 😁
Tostito Buddy
Being John Malkovich is crazy and fantastic
Joe D. MacGuffinstuff
Oh you got a tough one here, they're all good movies! The Insider is the only one I'm not familiar with.
ShadowVessel π
Oh cool, nobody reacts to The Outsiders. Make sure to watch the uncut version 👌
Forrest
Been asking for the pianist for a while. lol Definitely voting for that again!!
iliketostayhome
Prob already on your radar / queue, but "Uncut Gems" is an excellent drama. A serious Adam Sandler role.
Will Zamora
American Beauty, or , and Being John Malkovich
dieselbeast
Wether outsiders wins or not good lord the cast is a who's who of actors before they became who they would become 🙏
iliketostayhome
A lot of these are excellent, but Trainspotting is the standout for me.
UNC
Lost in translation!
