Also just realized you guys haven't done any Coen Brothers films - so very many GREAT options there.
Neal Romanek
Drama covers so much ground. How about dividing it up into drama subgenres - crime, period, family, political etc.
Aaron Barlow
Good Will Hunting! One of the best films of all time.
Neal Romanek
One of the best westerns, period.
Neal Romanek
Definitely Network
Gary Coaston
I feel like Jackie Brown would be appreciated by U guys.
Chelsea
Please add Smokin' Aces (2006) to your list if you havent seen it! Great film with an all star cast!
Chris
You can go wrong with The Departed in this poll. It's too new and not in the same class as the rest.
Toc
I had been thinking the same thing! Pitting "Taxi Driver" or "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest" against "The Departed" - and having "The Departed" win! - yipes!
Ken Adams
The 1992 western “Unforgiven” directed and starring Clint Eastwood won academy awards for best picture, best director and best supporting actor for Gene Hackman, also starred Morgan Freeman and Richard Harris. From my experience watching your channel I know you’ll love this one.
Tic Toc Melody
I know you have a lot of titles, and I'm sure most of these are on your list already but just in case, here are some dramas! - Jackie Brown (1997), Boogie Nights (1997), Sophie's Choice (1982), Chinatown (1974), Network (1976) (more of a dark satire), Dog Day Afternoon (1975), Raging Bull (1980), The Elephant Man (1980), 12 Years A Slave (2013), There Will Be Blood (2007), Fargo (Coen Brothers - not sure how to classify this one!), Cape Fear (1991) The Right Stuff (1984) Bonnie And Clyde (1967), The Deer Hunter (1978) The Conversation (1974) All The Presidents Men (1976)

Millennial Bias.
Neal Romanek
Not a bad idea. So many essential classics may not get a shot because not as many people have seen them to begin with.
Neal Romanek
One of those classics that I've never seen.
Greg & Lilian
wow, Paris, Texas sounds very interesting!
Allen S.
Late to this party, new patron. Please add the 1984 movie "Paris, Texas" to your list. It's on HBOMAX currently, finally watched it tonight and it was incredible. Their capsule: "An amnesiac tries to find the family he lost." That's close enough, I guess, hard to describe. Great drama. 🙂
Neal Romanek
Yes! Dog Day Afternoon, directed by Sidney Lumet who brought us The Verdict, 12 Angry Men and Network - all of them must-see's.
Neal Romanek
YES!
Richard Flanagan
Oh man come on Leon The professional i mean gary oldmam alone
TBR Schmitt
It's still a close poll! -Sam
Ken Veader
Please consider Once Upon A Time In Hollywood and Tarantino's other films
Chris
I would love to see a reaction to Léon. One of my favorite films!
Chris
I think going forward it might be a good idea to put movies together by decade as well, since there seems to be a tilt in voting based on how new the movie is, at least in this case.
Jason Dolan
My friend Kazzy Reacts just watched it on her channel. I think it is available at her $3 tier. It was a crazy reaction. Haha
Neal Romanek
Taxi Driver is the real masterpiece out of this list, but you can't go wrong with any of them. All great choices.
Jason Dolan
Every single one of these films deserves a reaction
Eric Lee
Mulholland Drive is great, and such a mindbender! I've never thought of it as a drama, but don't know what else to call it.. David Lynch is his own (weird) genre!
Monkey D. Gaddafi
one flew is a classic
Armchair Wizard
This is how i feel. Yet I fear that Departed will win.
JayWantsACat
These are all really good choices but A Few Good Men is a personal fave hasnt been reacted to very much, if at all.
Mike Tocci
So many great Pacino movies; Serpico, And Justice For All, Dog Day Afternoon, etc. etc.
wroot
I really like The Departed, but i haven't seen for a while anyone reacting to L.A. Confidential, so giving my vote for that :)
TBR Schmitt
Added to the list! -Sam
TBR Schmitt
You are correct! Typo on my part -Sam
TBR Schmitt
It’s on our list! -Sam
TBR Schmitt
It’s been added to the schedule! It was far too close on the last poll so we’ll be doing both - Eternal Sunshine & Mulholland Drive -Sam
Sean McDonough
All amazing films. Pulling for Cuckoo's Nest!!!!!
Warren H
L.A. Confidential is an incredible movie, and absolutely should have won best picture of 1997, but the Academy apparently got Kate and Leo fever and gave it to Titanic. L.A. is the only James Elroy book that’s been successfully adapted to screen, in my opinion, which is a shame because he’s a very gifted author.
Future Boy
Really hope A Few Good Men pulls back to win. It would make for a great reaction (nobody reacts to it, but there are Departed reactions everywhere), and it's much more fun when it's a first-time watch for both of you!
christopher brown
The Last Detail
Nick of Time
Oooo this is a tough one! Too many good options!
Lee
I thought Dead Poet’s Society came out in 1989?
Steven Montano
Both The Departed and A Few Good Men are winners here. Jack at his best!
Domino
Another incredible Al Pacino movie (and it also stars John Cazale, aka Fredo!) is Dog Day Afternoon. It's a must!
Joe D. MacGuffinstuff
Two choices jumped out ahead for me, both starring Jack Nicholson, Departed and One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, both favorites of mine but for so radically different reasons. Forcing me to choose, Departed is a Scorsese masterpiece, but One Flew Over is near and dear to my heart, love that movie. Oh but then again, damn, every cinema buff absolutely needs to see Taxi Driver. That's a tough choice, they're all dark, but I personally relate more to them kooks in One Flew Over, and it's got two young actors from the show Taxi so... But whatever way the poll goes y'all eventually have to watch all three, they're all masterpieces.
Mike Tocci
Taxi Driver and Cuckoo's Nest are the best two here, by a long shot.
bosho11
One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest, because you can do Amadeus after.
Chris
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is classic.
Mitchy D
I will keep requesting Mulholland Drive until the end of days, was so close in the last poll!
Andrew
I would have voted for Dead Poets,but it looks like it would just be a wasted vote,so opted for A Few Good Men too,as I would rather that over the others
Philthemovieguy
As much as I love the other films, I'm glad A Few Good Men is in the lead. I hope it wins. It's a legendary film with incredible performances and dialogue. Aaron Sorkin is one of my favorite screenwriters.
Arioch
Can't go wrong with any of these choices.
