Rear Window! Can’t wait to see the reaction to that

Catherine LW

Rear Window! Stylish, suspenseful thriller!

Lee

A suggestion for future polls, The Duellists 1977 film, Ridley Scott’s debut as a director.

Mark

Rear Window is in a class by itself, probably the most reliably enjoyable film of all times - if I've got a group of friends getting together with no idea what everyone likes, Rear Window is always a crowd pleaser.

Garmonbozia93

Amadeus (1984) for a future reaction would be awesome ;)

Garry L

100% recommend The Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford. It’s a long movie, but it is stunning.

The Prestige? In a landslide? Literally every movie in the poll is better. I mean, it's fine. I enjoyed it. But everything else is better. By quite a distance. C'est la vie.

Chandra

I thought the same thing. I was hoping LA Confidential would win. If you want a good movie about Illusionists watch The Illusionist with Edward Norton. That and The Prestige came out the same year.

Sarah

I "threw my vote away" on LA Confidential :) Been waiting for some good reactors to watch it

Andrew

Further support and love for "Stand by Me"

Bob McFadden

For the next drama poll I recommend: Network (1976) — The French Connection (1971) — Raging Bull (1980)

Joe D. MacGuffinstuff

Oof, I had to vote for Cuckoo's but against Taxi Driver, even though both are destined to lose the polls, I think you guys would really appreciate them, late 70s actually had some great films from Milos Forman, Scorsese, Spielberg, et al

Marcus Laubner

Stand By Me is a good film, but the one coming-of-age story that really hit me back when it came out is My Girl (1991), anybody who'd love to see that? There's only one reaction to Men Of Honor (2000) on Youtube, so I'd like to see that one getting some love as well some day.

Uncle 'Traveling' Matt

I doubt Taxi Driver will ever win a poll. That's really a shame because it's such an interesting film and I would be VERY interested to hear your guys' thoughts afterwards.

Domino

Only three of these are dramas, but I was thinking, you guys should totally have a foreign film category too! 😄 Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain (2001) France Amores Perros (2000) Mexico La Vita È Bella (1997) Italy Los Lunes Al Sol (2002) Spain

Tic Toc Melody

Great list. The two I regard the least are winning, but they're worth seeing. It's hard to choose, I feel guilty if I choose "Cuckoo's Nest" over "Rear Window"! Or "Taxi Driver" over "Cuckoo's Nest"! "The Irishman" is more De Niro-Pesci-Scorcese, I feel bad saying no to those guys but I think they would understand me choosing "Rear Window"! lol. ALL of those movies are worth reacting to......and I"m sure you will, eventually! Gaaaaa, I'm choosing "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest" because that is nothing else if not a drama!

Tic Toc Melody

It could win, but it's pitted against other great movies, so it splits the vote. Choosing between Taxi Driver and Cuckoo's Nest is a Sophie's Choice situation.....which by the way would ALSO be a great drama to watch!!! And then you throw "Rear Window" in there. Some people are "Irishman" fans, so instead of doing "Taxi Driver" they vote for that one. But they're doing "Raging Bull" this next month, I'm sure they'll get to "Taxi Driver" eventually.

Tic Toc Melody

PS: Not that you need MORE great dramas for this poll, but for future polls, or eventually, there is one drama that is guaranteed to make a great reaction video, a totally iconic performance that i can't believe doesn't get mentioned: SOPHIE'S CHOICE. "Rear Window" is suspense. "Irishman" is a mob movie. But "Sophie's Choice" is the very definition of a drama, and a great one. Meryl Streep's greatest performance, Kevin Kline's greatest performance, really great movie.

Domino

Apart from the above, I already left a list at the previous drama poll, but I forgot, if you have never watched The Impossible (2012) I recommend! 😊

Miles E Coburn

I chose "Rear Window". Other suggestions: "The Big Sleep" (1946), "Casablanca" (1942), "Key Largo" (1948), "To Have And Have Not" (1944) - all with Humphrey Bogart "The Untouchables" (1987), Kevin Costner, Sean Connery, Robert De Niro "To Catch A Thief" (1955), Cary Grant, Grace Kelly "Dead Poets Society" (1989), Robin Williams, Robert Sean Leonard, Ethan Hawke "The Postman" (1997), Kevin Costner, Olivia Williams, Will Patton

Rudy Hernandez

OMG, The Prestige!! Such a kick-ass, smart movie. Make sure to pay attention. Next up: Inception.

Neal Romanek

Drama covers a lot of ground, but some serious old school classics that I guarantee you'll love: 12 Angry Men, Citizen Kane, Casablanca, The Hustler. And newer ones: The Verdict, Network, Do The Right Thing. And period dramas: A Man For All Seasons, Amadeus, The Duellists, Chariots Of Fire.

Neal Romanek

And of course there's ALL the Hitchcock movies - but those are more thrillers.

Mark M

For your consideration; Drive(2011)

PIG

There Will Be Blood No Country for Old Men

David Hron

Best option is watch all.. Same great movies I like a lot. Except The Irishman. the worst of this pool, but still good.. I saw last weekend Rear Window - still excelent movie. Taxi driver geeat Scorsese, better than Irishman.

Michael Soukup

Seems like Hitchcock should be it’s own category. That said, I love Rear Window!!!

Andrew

Not so sure about that,Arachnophobia which was posted 2 days after Psycho,is about to overtake it in the views on Youtube,which would make Psycho the lowest watched movie of the entire month on the channel I am sure they will get to everything in time,but you have to start with what there is the highest demand for

Neal Romanek

Eventually though, you get every reaction channel watching the exact same movies. And there are so many of them, to make yourself stand out, you need to take some chances.

Tyler Foster

Demand is also not an indicator of quality, it's an indicator of popularity. This is the problem inherent with YouTube polling. I totally get why it's offered; I became a Patron to vote. However, I think all channels would benefit from running some "Yes/No" polls on a bunch of movies that either lost previous polls or would not be able to win a poll, and then drawing a few from a hat every once in awhile.

Opie Wan

As far as I can tell, LA Confidential is just about a perfect movie. No bad scenes and no loose plot points. Every scene contributes to the whole.

MCL-1984

I love "The Prestige" it is one of Chris Nolans best. But I hope you also do "L.A. Confidential." It is one of the most perfect 1950's L.A. cop movies that has ever been made. I really hope you do those two!!!

Angel Pagan

I agree The Prestige is one Nolan’s best.

Mark Kelso

I haven't seen "The Irishman", but each of these other choices is a top-tier superior film. I hope you get the chance to see them all. Each of them will knock you out.

Neal Romanek

And in a top 20 article in the Guardian last week they ranked it as Ridley Scott's 3rd best movie.

KatMakes

Is The Prestige still on the slate to react to? Haven't seen anything about it
