Neal Romanek
It's such a great movie, I have faith that it will one day bubble up to the top.
Neal Romanek
Yeah, JFK is dynamite. It has every actor in the world in it, all giving amazing performances.
Neal Romanek
So many excellent movies here, you just can't go wrong with any of them. Try to watch the original cut of Amadeus instead of the "Director's Cut".
Paul Cox
Crunch time! I'm sure we can find another 65-70 Dog Day Afternoon voters somewhere 🤪
Adam Briceland
gran torino
Smooticus
A shame Dead Poets Society isn't doing better. Robin William's best roll apart from Good Will Hunting (Good Morning Vietnam is his 3rd). Folks really deserve to see this one
Donna Castellano
Even if it doesn't win this poll, Amadeus definitely needs to be in the schedule sometime soon. I'm eager for yall to see it.
dewey dawson
You guys should do a bad movie poll and drop a reaction on April first.
Ed R
You guys should check out a bunch of Oliver Stone movies. Wall Street, JFK, Nixon, Born of the 4th of July, Salvador, Alexander, The Doors.. I think the only one you've reacted to is Platoon. They are very impactful and a good amount of recent history.
Ken Veader
JFK is so good
Donna Castellano
Shan Watches Movies and James Vs Cinema did great YouTube edits for Amadeus.
Keith Morrissette
Good choices. You guys should watch American Gangster if you haven’t since you’re on a Russell Crowe movement right now.
Florian Meier
Yes !! More Clint !!!
Aaron Barlow
Gran Torino to carry on your Clint Eastwood journey!
Burt_Fuggin_Reynolds
i see a bunch of good movies on here .. and then i see Amadeus .. the choice should be clear here
darrell40
If you want a really good drama that caught me by surprise is my dog skip......
esclad
Trainspotting is a masterpiece ;)
Chris Bruneau
that's a fantastic Film!!!!
W T
Not really minding that, I firmly put Catch Me If You Can in that category, movie's dope
David Wilkins
Yeah, it’s astonishing that Catch Me if You Can is significantly outpacing two of the greatest movies ever made. But such is the hazard of popular polls.
Michael Soukup
Dead Poets Society is 1989. I love the movie btw and hope it wins 🤞
richard wilkinson
For the future I recommend Spotlight (2015). won Best Picture Oscar.
Shehab Dawoud
Looks like Catch Me If You Can is gonna shade it. If that is the case, I hope an executive decision is made and Gone Girl gets a view as well, especially if it only loses out by a few votes. It's such a great film. If not, then it should be put on future Thriller polls, because that's a more appropriate genre.
PIG
I've been rewatching Pixar movies with my little kid and I'm blown away how good they still are. Have they reacted to any Pixar? Has there been a poll for that?
Trepid
Amadeus is the best, what an incredible movie. I hope it wins.
Mike the Ginger
JFK (1991) is a fantastic film, whether you believe in conspiracies or not.
Philip Davetas
I voted for TRAINSPOTTING, but CATCH ME IF YOU CAN is really great too! I find it more of an xXxmas flick, but really it spans plenty of seasons.
Michael Buhl
I'm glad Dog Day Afternoon and Trainspotting are included here because they are both great; however, Chinatown is one of the best movies ever made.
W T
Dang, what a smooth, even distribution of votes on all those movies. Gotta go for Amadeus though, no way around this.
Paul Cox
Totally unrelated to the poll at hand, so my apologies, but I'd like to suggest a 1980s cult/b-movie poll someday with things like Repo Man, The Toxic Avenger, Night of the Comet, Better Off Dead, etc (I'm sure plenty of us elder gen x'ers could come up with 100 suggestions). Just something to think about.
Brian Sevilla
Barry Lyndon is such an amazing movie cinematically. Alot of the movie was lit with candle light alone. Also Barry Lyndon is where Stanley ended up finding his right hand man Leon Vitale. Without Leon alot of what we've seen in Kubricks movies may not have happened. I'm so glad i got to see him in person a few years back before he passed away recently.
Brian McNally
Chinatown is the best movie on the list.
mikethemotormouth
I'm waiting for A Perfect World(1993)
bosho11
Whatever movie wins, Amadeus is an absolute must watch. Also, Barry Lyndon is still missing from your Kubrick reactions (along with Lolita). it is a stunning movie.
Ed R
Oh yeah, Network. That's a great classic.
Ed R
Nixon was pretty fantastic. I like watching Nixon and JFK both because there is some crossover in subject matter. Born of the 4th of July might be Tom Cruise's best performance of all time. Followed by The Color of Money and Rain Man.
Domino
I've suggested other drama movies in the past but I can't remember if I already added these two, so... Steel Magnolias (1989) The Impossible (2012)
PIG
I agree, these really are some great movies in this poll.
Jonathan Patrick
I've been recommending The Insider for a while. And Born on the 4th of July. Great films.
Erwin Quiachon
You didn't like Nixon?
Jonathan Patrick
It is truly a masterpiece film. Definitely his best. 2nd imo is Born on the 4th of July.
Andy G
JFK is Oliver Stone's greatest movie, never seen a reaction of it
JayWantsACat
Amadeus is my all time favorite film. I think you two would enjoy it.
TBR Schmitt
We have both already seen On The Waterfront -Sam
TBR Schmitt
Galaxy Quest is still here on Patreon, but it was removed from YT due to copyright -Sam
Jonathan Patrick
Legends of the Fall (1994) Meet Joe Black (1998)
Erwin Quiachon
It's the price to pay for all of that beautiful music.
KevG
Million Dollar Baby and Mystic River are great Clint Eastwood directed movies
William 1611
You guys! THIS is the poll where "Million Dollar Baby" should be, and I'd vote for it! But among these excellent suggestions, I'm all in for "Gran Torino." I'm surprised y'all haven't seen it yet. It comes pretty close to being a perfect movie.
richard wilkinson
Someday you must react to On The Waterfront (1954). Brando at his peak.
David Crabtree
Gran Torino would be my first choice on this poll, followed by Catch Me If You Can. Random recommendations: 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi, Face/Off, Armageddon, Galaxy Quest.
Shehab Dawoud
Love The Insider. It will never get a reaction, though, unless it's an executive decision. I don't think most people want to see a reaction to a film that's 99% dialogue. I doubt most followers, many of them being casuals, have seen it either.
Raymond Johnson
Maybe an all-John Cazale poll, then. They've already reacted to Godfather I and II and The Deer Hunter. That just leaves Dog Day Afternoon and The Conversation.
Samolina Pilchard
My Recommendations Born on the Fourth of July (1989) Network (1976) The Insider (1999)
fallingupdownthere
Gone Girl. David Fincher is the master of book adaptations.
Catherine LW
It’s been done.
Jonathan Patrick
JFK
Paul Cox
We'll have to start a support group if it loses a few more times.
Florian Meier
Yes !! Gran Torino is by Far my Favorite one in this Poll
Florian Meier
I vote for Gran Torino and Chinatown !!! Love Both
Jason Dolan
Catch Me If You Can is what I hope wins
Korny
Dog Day Afternoon is in last place? What world am I living in?
Duncan
Amazing movie, Directed by Clint Eastwood, staring Sean Penn Kevin Bacon Tim Robbins and has an IMDb score of 7.9 out of 10
Cliff Smelley
I’d suggest Mystic River for a future poll if you haven’t seen it.
Paul Cox
Ha, I meant another one. I know it rallied pretty well towards the end last time we saw it (in either a drama or crime poll, can't remember), but I think in a purely Pacino poll, and with The Godfather trilogy and Heat out of the way now, its chances would be better. It would only have to get above Carlito's Way and Serpico, and I think it could.
Nick Sneddon
Trainspotting and Gone Girl are both absolutely fantastic films
Mike LL
I voted Gran Torino on this one. All my choices in these polls will lose. Oh well, there have been some truly great films and some inspired choices on the channel lately. There will be plenty more great movies in the future, even though you guys are so wrong today! 😁😄😛
StarChild
You should honestly react to everyone of these movies. They are all pretty great, but Chinatown is one of my favorite movies of all time.
Drzergberg
If you don't like Film Noirs you most like won't like it and I understand. Not every movie is for everyone.
Tristan Durant
💯
TBR Schmitt
We’ve done an all Al Pacino Poll 😊 -Sam
Paul Cox
Poor Dog Day Afternoon, it's probably not ever going to win one of these until there's an all-Pacino poll. :(
Shehab Dawoud
I'm really hoping Gone Girl pulls it off, finally. I'm always interested in a married couple's take on this kind of film.
PIG
Amadeus most. Chinatown a close second. They won’t win :(
Drzergberg
Amadeus and Chinatown are must watches.
Erwin Quiachon
Great movie, but I'm sure a pain to edit for YouTube.
Catherine LW
Amadeus! If Mozart was a punk rocker…!
Ian
Gone girl for me and maybe that will lead to a few Ben affleck movies like paycheck with Uma Thurman and the accountant with Anna Kendrick 👌
Jeff Mills
No worries! I saw that movie my senior year of high school right before I graduated in 1990. That’s probably how I remembered it. 🤪
Fraser
For the love of all that is holy I hope Trainspotting gains some traction
TBR Schmitt
Damn, I'm really messing up the years in these polls haha -Sam
ShadowVessel π
I was hoping Sleepers would make it into this round, but Trainspotting is awesome
Tristan Durant
Gone Girl, you won’t regret it.
Kurt Bohnstadt
Too many great movies in this poll.
Jeff Mills
Hey! One minor correction: “Dead Poets Society” came out in 1989. It also is my pick. 😊 I love that movie.
