Help pick the Drama movie we will react to!

Please feel free to suggest other options in the comments for future polls!

NOTE: I have seen Léon: The Professional & The Departed, so this would only be Sam's first time reaction.

*We received a ton suggestions on the last polls, but we are trying to keep the poll sizes more reasonable. We have noted all suggestions for future polls!

Can't go wrong with any of these choices.

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.

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

Mitchy D

I will keep requesting Mulholland Drive until the end of days, was so close in the last poll!

Chris

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is classic.

bosho11

One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest, because you can do Amadeus after.

Mike Tocci

Taxi Driver and Cuckoo's Nest are the best two here, by a long shot.

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.

Another incredible Al Pacino movie (and it also stars John Cazale, aka Fredo!) is Dog Day Afternoon. It's a must!

Steven Montano

Both The Departed and A Few Good Men are winners here. Jack at his best!

Lee

I thought Dead Poet’s Society came out in 1989?

Nick of Time

Oooo this is a tough one! Too many good options!

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!

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.

Sean McDonough

All amazing films. Pulling for Cuckoo's Nest!!!!!

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

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 :)

Mike Tocci

So many great Pacino movies; Serpico, And Justice For All, Dog Day Afternoon, etc. etc.

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.

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!

Jason Dolan

Every single one of these films deserves a reaction

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

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

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.

Chris

I would love to see a reaction to Léon. One of my favorite films!

Ken Veader

Please consider Once Upon A Time In Hollywood and Tarantino's other films

Richard Flanagan

Oh man come on Leon The professional i mean gary oldmam alone

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.

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. 🙂

Greg & Lilian

wow, Paris, Texas sounds very interesting!

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.

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)

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.

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!

Chris

You can go wrong with The Departed in this poll. It's too new and not in the same class as the rest.

Chelsea

Please add Smokin' Aces (2006) to your list if you havent seen it! Great film with an all star cast!

Gary Coaston

I feel like Jackie Brown would be appreciated by U guys.

Aaron Barlow

Good Will Hunting! One of the best films of all time.

Neal Romanek

Drama covers so much ground. How about dividing it up into drama subgenres - crime, period, family, political etc.

Neal Romanek

Also just realized you guys haven't done any Coen Brothers films - so very many GREAT options there.
