Oldboy ftw!

Neal Romanek

Wow, those are all great movies. It would be cool to see your reaction to Yojimbo, because it's based on American Westerns and then it in turn became the basis for Sergio Leone's 'Man With No Name' westerns. The best movie on this list is Seven Samurai, so you better start there.

Don't ever watch City of God. I watched it once and the movie scared the crap out of me and not in the fun way like Jason or Michael Myers.

Tim McKnight

Run Lola run is an absolute classic movie!! Soundtrack is dope too 👌🏾

Smooticus

Watched Barry Lyndon (again) recently. Damn, but that movie has aged so well. Still the most beautifully shot movie I've ever seen

David Anderson

I couldn't decide between Old Boy and Seven Samurai, and chose Seven Samurai. haha

David Wilkins

+1 for Brotherhood of the Wolf. It’s in a class by itself.

Joseph Tamburo

Would love to see Brotherhood of the Wolf on your next foreign poll

Ken Veader

Belle De Jour is good

Robert Cintron

Words will not express how happy I would be if you reacted to "Gojira", 1954 movie otherwise known in the States as Godzilla. I'd advise against the American version "Godzilla: King of the Monsters" as the movie loses something and becomes too exposition heavy. Also I you like it you could one day do a following viewing with "Return of Godzilla" from 1984. Would be a nice duo watch.

Erwin Quiachon

I remember Daniel saying that Saving Private Ryan was one of all time favorite movies. "A Very Long Engagement" (2004), also directed by Jeunet of "Amelie", has epic battle scenes set in WWI with a very strong love story.

We gotta find a way to get Amadeus and Berry Lyndon reacted to, maybe a "Histocial" genre poll. There's a lot of movies that don't fit into the classical genre categories but are some of the greatest ever. Voted Seven Samurai because it's close with Oldboy (also great, and maybe a better reaction), however, considering you loved the spaghetti westerns so much, Yojimbo would be an excellent choice it would be interesting to see your reaction to the plot. Plus, it's an amazing performance by Toshiro Mifune who is also is Seven Samurai. if the poll wasn't so close, i'd vote Amelie, it's not like anything you've seen on the channel yet and it's one of my favorites. Super charming and funny. Plus the director's other movies he co-directed with Cano are great too. Delicatessen and City of lost children

Erwin Quiachon

If you start binging on Kurosawa, my favorite is "Throne of Blood" (1957). It's the samurai version of Macbeth. Coppola credits one scene from Throne of Blood as the inspiration for how he filmed the death of Sonny Corleone. You'll know which scene it is if you ever watch it. The whole movie is under two hours and moves faster than Kurosawa's other films.

Will Zamora

The Sea Inside (2004) with Javier Bardem would be great for a reaction

Mike Tocci

Out of this list, Seven Samurai and Yojimbo are the best by far. The other films on this poll pale in comparison.

Elisa Pfau

Handmaiden was WILD!! Need to check out your other suggestions--haven't heard of them before.

Ryan Williams

Here's some more recommendation's for any upcoming Foreign Film Poll. Burning (2018), Chunking Express (1994), Handmaiden (2016), High & Low (1963), Incendies (2010), A Prophet (2009), Shoplifters (2018), The Vanishing (1988) & I Saw the Devil (2010). All are fantastic films and would probably be great reaction videos.

William 1611

Either of the Kurosawa films would be an excellent choice, especially since you've seen Eastwood's versions of them. But some dark-horse candidates might be "Belle de Jour" (1967), "Persona" (1966), and "Diva"(1981.) "Diva" is my favorite, a perfect example of French New Wave, and is funny, suspenseful, and features a really clever plot.

Erwin Quiachon

If you're going to watch Kurosawa, treat yourself to some Bergman, too. They were brothers from other mothers. I'd recommend "Seventh Seal" (1957), "Smiles Of A Summer Night" (1955), and "Fanny and Alexander" (1982).

Elisa Pfau

City of God simply cannot be missed. That film has no competition.

Sol95

City of God is criminally underrated. Seven Samurai deserves its flowers but hoping you give it a chance, too.

Drzergberg

Just plan to watch all of these

James

Life is Beautiful is amazing

Smooticus

Aaaaaahhh! Seven Samurai!! Once again I voted for several on this list, but really hoping that one wins this go around. A Japanese director heavily influenced by American Westerns makes a movie that influences Westerns. Magnificent Seven, Fistful of Dollars, and For a Few Dollars More, are all remakes of Kurosawa films.

Ron Moses

I strongly recommend that if you're going to watch Yojimbo, which is great, you follow it up with its sequel, Sanjuro, which might be even better.

Eric Frazee

Please include Cinema Paradiso next time

Marcus Cato

I was just watching part of that thinking it would be a great reaction flick!

Björn Karlsson

......and Fucking Åmål/Show me love 🥰🥰🥰🥰

David Lengyel

Some more foreign contenders to react to: Ondskan (2003) Låt den rätte komma in (2008) Jagten (2012)

kbobravo

High and Low (1963) is a masterpiece from one of the greatest directors of all time, Akira Kurosawa.

ZoeLo

Waking Ned Devine!!!!

Nick Sneddon

Amelie is one of the greatest films of all time so I voted that

Joe D. MacGuffinstuff

I knew Old Boy would be a runner haha. I actually haven't seen it yet but everyone I know who has, flips out when I say I haven't. As far as movies I have seen, I gotta vote for City Of God, the style is just so cool and I'm a sucker for a true story; and Seven Samurai, it's just such a badass story, and it's not too many foreign black and white films I've watched and loved, which is my bad, but I have to recommend it.

Thomas Yanez

I wish "RRR" got more love. It never fails to knock reactors (and other first-time viewers) on their ass just from the sheer amount of unexpectedly epic-levels of WTF.

Philip Alan

RUN LOLA RUN!!!! :)

Philip Davetas

I picked OLD BOY. I apologize in advance. That flick, for real, will fuck you up. All the way up. And then when you think about it, it will fuck you up some more.

J.C.

My I suggest the 1985 ramen western Tampopo

Tommy Richards

I hope you guys one day check out OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies starring Jean Dujardin. It’s a hilarious French comedy. I guess you could compare it to Austin Powers, but much funnier IMO.

Domino

So excited for the foreign film reactions! Amores Perros (2000) Los Lunes Al Sol (2002) Mar Adentro (2004) El Laberinto Del Fauno (2006) La Piel Que Habito (2011)

Brent

Hoping for Yojimbo or Seven Samurai! Yojimbo I think would be a particularly interesting video considering the films relationship to A Fistful of Dollars! 😁😁
