Jason Dolan

The Billy Crystal Gregory Hines RUNNING SCARED is also awesome

Mike Adams

Just throwing this out there cause I take every opportunity to recommend it.... but Hackers has a great 2nd chance/redemption story.... if you squint a little that is.

Backlog Andy M.

Cinderella Man is great. Intresting the fountain is the project Brad Pitt left. Before filming. But he had to pay debt to WB. So he was forced to do Troy. And he was unhappy about it!

Backlog Andy M.

Yes. I thought it was that for a second!

Will Knox

OMG, two of my absolute favorite films are on the pool! Chungking Express and Paris, Texas. Both are masterpieces, in my opinion! Maybe they'll tie lol.

Dor

Awakenings is *so* good.

Matt

Paris Texas has gotta be one of my top 5 movies ever, such a special film

Jonathan Patrick

Meet Joe Black is your next 3 hour masterpiece, I promise lol. But I always felt Legends of the Fall should be watched first, as they both have Brad Pitt and Anthony Hopkins, and Legends of the Fall is the first film with them both. And both are masterpieces. When yall watch those 2 films will definitely be one of my fave days on this channel. They need to do a 3rd film together before its too late.

Ray Johnson

If this is about characters getting redemption my favorite is The Best of Times (1986) Maybe one day I'll get a reaction to it.

Matt

I'd absolutely love Past Live or Sound Of Metal reactions

Matt

You're not alone there, Definitely both absolutely masterpieces

Will Knox

Mine as well. It honestly makes me cry every time I watch it. It's such a beautiful film.

Jonathan Patrick

And Legends of the Fall, back to back would be great

Brownie Win

So many wonderful choices, but The Fisher King has Robin Williams, Jeff Bridges and an Academy Award winning performance by Mercedes Ruehl. Awakenings and Cinderella Man are other movies I think should not be missed.

Birdie Num Num

The Verdict - 2nd chance/redemption? I think so.

Florian Meier

Would love to see a reaction to Paris,Texas !!!

Jon

Cinderella Man, MJB, and Palm Springs are my picks.

robert haynes

Drive from 2011 with Gosling. Masterpiece

Carla Davis

Awakenings... I don't think I've ever seen a reaction to that movie. It's a great film and it's also based on a true story.

Smooticus

All great choices. Had to give love to Paris, Texas. One of my top 5 movies

Smooticus

Those third act monologues...just, damn (chef's kiss)

Micah Mann

Sound of Metal is so intriguing and with masterful audio design. Brilliant movie.

Paul Cox

I only finally decided to watch The Notebook earlier this year for a Ryan Gosling two-fer day and LOVED it (the less said about the other film, La La Land, the better). I love a romance drama as much as anyone, but Nicholas Sparks material has traditionally not been my exact lane. Sad I waited over twenty years to see that one, though. Very much here for Cinderella Man or The Fisher King or Paris, Texas walking away with this one. The fact those are the films currently leading makes me love this place.

Paul Cox

Yes! Too bad that one was missed.

Will Knox

It really is. I haven't seen it since it was released on streaming years ago, I think it's time for a rewatch. 👍

penoyer79

Awakenings by a mile.

David Wilkins

Yeah, sooner or later. It’s been my monthly drawing submission several times.

Paul Cox

It's definitely on their radar.

Dan Holmes

Aaaaahhhh!!! Thank you for including both Running Scared and The Fountain!!! Sure they won’t win but so happy they’re here!

Liame8724

If it doesnt pull ahead, please give Cinderella Man a 3rd or 4th chance. Very underrated. For some reason I also think its one of the great christmas-movies-thats-not-a-christmas-movie

Dan Holmes

ooh that would be awesome if they did

Paul Cox

It won't happen, but I'd cackle until next year if there was a 5-way tie.

Brandon Meng

About Time so low is criminal

jjkcharlie

Club Paradise would've been a nice surprise to see on your poll.

Lindelani Mahlangu

are we going to see the rest of the IT series at some point?

TBR Schmitt

The films, yes! Not sure if we’ll get to the tv series -Sam

Hunter DeRensis

I can't believe we're so close to getting Paris, Texas.
