usual suspects is a classic.. its more like a heist movie i would say though!

erik stone

Dances with Wolves I think is the most beautiful and meaningful film along with Good Will Hunting and Gran Torino.

Future Boy

Fearless if my favourite Jeff Bridges film!

Jeffrey Miller

I can't believe I didn't think of this! It's one of my comfort movies that I put on in the background that I've seen at least 10 times.

David Martin

That's some pretty tough competition. Any time you've got two Coen Brothers movies in a list it's tough. And the movies that have had the most viewers will always have an edge. It's a numbers game.

Future Boy

Now I'm excited! DDL in There Will Be Blood - one of my favourite performances of all time.

Florian Meier

Yes !!! For Me Gran Torino is my Favorite her !!! But Fargo is also Great

Alex

I think Gran Torino is easily the best film on this list. And directed by Clint Eastwood as well as starring Clint Eastwood. Great film.

Alex

The movie that shows Woody Harrelson is an amazing actor. Before that he was Woody on Cheers and you would've never guessed he can act that good.

Daniel Malefitz

No idea why Natural Born Killers is so low, the movie is so unique. Awesome soundtrack, awesome art style and awesome characters and performances.

Jeff Mills

I'm going to suggest "Untamed Heart" (1993) a romantic drama featuring Christian Slater and Marisa Tomei. It's a very underrated movie and one of my favorites.

TBR Schmitt

There Will Be Blood is on the schedule so we can see more DDL! -Sam

Robert Boyd

I would like to suggest FEARLESS with Jeff Bridges and Rosie Perez. It couldn’t possibly win a poll because nobody has seen it. But whether you film a reaction to it or not, you both should watch it. It’s a beautiful movie.

Jay

Definitely need There Will Be Blood on the next poll

Nick of Time

I can’t pick a favorite Nolan film. It’s like picking a favorite Kubrick, or Lynch. I just can’t.

Colwyn Baily

^^ I second this.

Scott Kerr

Well, good. Thanks for clarifying ;) I'm glad it wasn't serious. I'm still trying to get people to watch Coen brothers movies

Uncle 'Traveling' Matt

Okay, Legends of the Fall and Sleepers both get a HUGE thumbs up from me. Great suggestions!!

Uncle 'Traveling' Matt

Scott, it's a famous quote from The Big Lebowski (a Coen Brothers film.)

Portis

lots of great choices in this poll!

Scott Kerr

???

PIG

There is ONE direct tie but the one does not spoiler the other. Should be totally fine.

PIG

Well that’s like… your opinion… man

PIG

That’s right, cheese :)

PIG

These are great so I’ll just repeat them for the next poll: No Country for Old Men Fargo Memento The Usual Suspects and something not on the poll: There Will Be Blood

Tyler Foster

I'm very much pro-woke politics, for the record. My point was not anti-woke politics, my point was that if people aren't voting for DWW it has nothing to do with that, and it's a silly thing to complain about.

Uncle 'Traveling' Matt

Hoo boy, SO MANY great choices here! I voted for 7 films... can't really go wrong with any of the top contenders though!

Future Boy

Memento will never win in this company, but I hope you choose to watch it one day. A truly original idea that will melt both of your brains (in a good way), and provide enough material for a 30 minute discussion at the end. It's my favourite Christopher Nolan film by a long way.

mikethemotormouth

Or Miami Connection? 😂

PIG

Too many good ones :( / :)

Ken Veader

Boogie Nights starring Mark Wahlberg and Burt Reynolds is a great film worth checking out

MIke

Huge Robin Williams fan, one of my fav roles of his of course gotta go with Good Will Hunting

Jonathan Patrick

Yes to "We Own the Night"!

Jonathan Patrick

"A Civil Action" (1998 John Travolta, Robert Duvall) ^^ I've always loved this legal drama. Based on a True story but it gets severely overlooked. "The Insider" (1999 Michael Manns best, other than Heat) "Legends of the Fall" (1994) and "Meet Joe Black" (1998) both with Brad Pitt and Anthony Hopkins. I think would be great on the channel. And SLEEPERS (1996), Brad Pitt, Deniro and a long list of an all star cast. Also a true story.

Scott Kerr

You betcha!

Scott Kerr

You won't have an issue. However, I strongly recommend seeing the show. Especially the first season!! Aces!

Scott Kerr

Haha. 2 Coen Brothers movies winning the poll.

Aaron Barlow

No one suggested 'Birdemic'? Lol

christopher brown

I would recommend The Day of the Jackal (1973)

Smooticus

Dammit! Too many good choices! I really wish Patreon had a choice balloting option. that way we could select all of these by order of preference and not have to choose only one

Garry L

A couple more come to mind…Prisoners and There Will Be Blood. I don’t remember seeing you watch those.

Garry L

I gotta throw my hat in the ring and suggest The Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford. A modern classic.

Jay

What a list to choose from!

Charlie Keeler

Ain’t no way you have Fargo and No Country in the same poll 😆, both are fantastic, quite frankly you’d be doing yourself a cinematic disservice if you didn’t watch every Coen flick ever, but No Country for Old Men is a masterpiece of filmmaking definitely in my top 5.

Jeffrey Miller

Fargo is literally one of my favorite films of all time. It's so good and I know you'd love it.

Jeffrey Miller

Or maybe, and hear me out, other people don't like it as much as you do or they know nothing about it. I don't like Dances with Wolves because I think it's a boring ass movie and I really don't like Kevin Costner.

Matt and Lexi Reactions

The Usual Suspects is my favorite movie of all time. It's phenomenal, with an excellent cast, and it's almost perfect. VERY highly recommended!!!

Domino

The Impossible (2012) The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button (2008) The Fountain (2006) Requiem For A Dream (2000) Black Swan (2010) Dead Man Walking (1995) We Own The Night (2007) Jojo Rabbit (2019)

Philip Alan

Dan, you've hit the nail right on the head. This is why I'm here... to see them react to the movies with BIG REACTIVE SCENES. That's why movies like Terminator 2 reactions will always be more popular on Youtube than let's say October Sky. And of course better for their channel.

Florian Meier

I Hope Gran Torino win, but Fargo is also a Great Choice!!

TBR Schmitt

Thank you both! Daniel has seen American History X, but I have not :) -Sam

Dan

Nope, shouldn't have any issues watching the movie first. Have you guys seen American History X? I don't see that in your guys' catalog. That's a must-see movie to add to the list if you haven't.

Robert Boyd

The TV show and the movie have nothing to do with each other so you should be fine.

Aaron Barlow

Yeah, I mean obviously I don't mean all young people, there are quite a few who are awake to the political manipulation going on and the insanity of the woke politics. I agree the lack of people seeing movies is the key issue. I'm just an old fart so I forget how young many people are on social media and how things I take for granted because I grew up with them are unknown to many.

Dan

A lot of good movies, but I feel like Momento, Fargo, and Usual Suspects would be the best for a reaction. NCFOM, Good Will Hunting, Dances with Wolves, and Gran Torino are good films, but there wouldn't be a lot to say beyond commending the acting and directing. Momento put Christopher Nolan on the map, and you'll never forget it. It's a fun movie to figure out in real time, and it's great on a re-watch as you're still putting pieces together. Fargo will stick with you for all the ...reasons. Quirky and dark, with characters both cerebral and dumb. Must watch on the style alone. Usual Suspects is a classic. A different take on the crime team caper. Looks like NCFOM will win it, even though I think it's a little overrated, imho. Still, great list of movies to sample for a second go around of votes.

TBR Schmitt

ALL - Let me know if we're going to have an issue watching Fargo if we haven't seen the TV show. I figured no since it's much older, but let me know if I'm mistaken! -Sam

Tyler Foster

You could try talking to some actual young people sometime. Most people my age like Dances With Wolves -- obviously I'm not going to spoil the movie, but anyone who thinks it's a white savior story wasn't paying attention (like the guy who wrote the embarrassing-looking Don't Look Up). I'd say Last of the Mohicans is probably more iffy if you were going to question how the movies approach Native Americans, and even then I don't think Mohicans is especially troubling, just a little more "Hollywood convenient" in terms of how it finagles a white lead. The fact that it's not winning is just down to fewer people having seen it, which is the deciding factor in 99% of reactor polls. If I were objecting to a movie on the poll for sensitivity reasons, it'd probably be The Pianist...and even then I still think Chinatown is a masterpiece.

mikethemotormouth

True but I would say the same of any of the movies on this poll

Aaron Barlow

It's a good movie and yes a lot of young people are 'woke' now because it has been engineered to be 'trendy' and people's especially youth's desire to 'fit in' and be seen to be 'virtuous' causes them to suspend critical thinking and immediately hate on anything the mainstream tells them to hate on with buzzwords like 'racism' etc. Personally I voted for Good Will Hunting, but would be happy to see DWW win.

justDRK

Love Good Will Hunting but this is a murderers row of movies. Sheesh.

Aaron Barlow

C'mon GOOD WILL HUNTING, it's a masterpiece that everyone needs to see.

Robert Boyd

FARGO, NATURAL BORN KILLERS, and NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN are all great. FARGO is the masterpiece though.

Forrest

All really great films, but would love to see the Pianist make it on the channel someday. Really dark, but love Adrien Brody in it. Also, Dances With Wolves is a fantastic Kevin Costner film. Love most of these in the poll. Don't think I've seen Momento before and haven't seen Fargo, even though I know it is an iconic film. Feel like the Pianist won't ever win a poll because it's a bit more obscure. Given that it deals with World War 2 and the Holocaust, many people won't want to watch it because it shows the dark side of humans, and many people aren't comfortable watching a film that covers something as sensitive as the Holocaust.

mikethemotormouth

At least it's not tied for dead last like a couple I voted for

dieselbeast

aside fr dances with the wolves, I have no interest in any of those other movies, please react to al Pacino Scarface, Carlitos way, Donnie brasco or Irishman 🤷

Terry Lee

it's a really tough decision with so many great movies listed here… Especially between the usual suspects and dancing with wolves

mikethemotormouth

Can't tell if I like this structure better or worse because right now I want to vote for EVERY ONE of these options. Might have to try it out a few times.
