Comments

Jonathan Patrick

Voted Sleepers (all star cast) Legends of the Fall (1994) Meet Joe Black (1998) Crash (2004)

Tristan Durant

Gone Girl, Everything Everywhere All At Once, & HER.

Mark

For a super dark drama/mystery: Gone Baby Gone.

Florian Meier

Great Poll !! Hope Rain Man will win!! Oscar Performance from Dustin Hoffman Love this Movie !!! Another Great Dustin Hoffman Drama is "Kramer vs Kramer" from 1979 With Meryl Streep ... Both won an Oscar !!!

Lük

Wonder Boys is my favorite film of all time.

Forrest

Doubt anyone is going to suggest this ever so I'm going to suggest The Intouchables, which is a 2011 French film that was recently redone as an American version. But I'd love to see you guys watch the original French version. Very moving and very authentic. Another drama that no one else will recommend most likely is What Maisie Knew, which is a 2012 film with Julianne Moore in it. Legends of the Fall is a great suggestion as well. Also, Dead Poets Society is one of my favorite Drama films. Just saw someone request HER. Love that film so much as well!

It’s definitely my favorite in this poll. Great cast, great soundtrack and just a great movie all the way around.

Aaron Barlow

A great family drama is Searching for Bobby Fischer. I know noone will vote for it, not having seen it but it's amazing with a beautiful score from the late, great James Horner RIP.

David Martin

It would be so good to see Three Billboards. I doubt it will win, because people don't know about it, but any film that has Frances McDormand in it is worth watching, especially one that earned her an Academy Award for Best Actress.

Steve

I hope you'll do To Live in Die in LA regardless of the poll results! Best car chase EVER! You'll be shocked!

Matt DSM

Scent of a Woman with Al Pacino is a classic drama- and it takes place over Thanksgiving so it would be a good one for November.

David Martin
>>93807835

I'd vote for it! Excellent film. But there are so many excellent films that they will just have to wade through them.

David Martin

I've never heard of Manchester by the Sea! I'll have to check it out, because it's not going to win this poll.

Dan

I'd love to see these on a future drama poll: American History X (Edward Norton, Edward Furlong, Avery Brooks) GATTACA (Ethan Hawke, Uma Thurman) Pump Up The Volume (Christian Slater) American History X has to be seen by everyone, once in their lives. GATTACA is also a masterpiece people should watch at least once. PUTV came out before social media and probably not a lot of people have seen it, but it spoke to me as a depressed teen growing up in that era.

Domino
>>93807847

100%! I really, really hope they eventually get to it at least. :D I requested it, not sure I was the only one, but it's one of my all time favorite movies. Frances is amazing and I know they loved her in Fargo, which she won her first Oscar for. So this one, her second Oscar, will be amazing to watch. Also, Sam Rockwell's first Oscar!

Toc

Ha, great to see "Blood Simple" up there; it's not really a drama. It's like "Fargo". What is "Fargo"? It's not a comedy, right? It's not a drama. It's Coen Brothers! Same thing with "Blood Simple". I definitely gave it a vote though! The first two Coen Brothers movies are two of their absolute best. And "The Elephant Man" is the definition of a drama, and also an actual masterpiece (as opposed to just throwing that word around as so many do, lol). One day you'll hit those two and they will be great reactions!

Aaron Barlow
>>93807835

There's also Ready Player One, Wade's all through that ;) Same with Deadpool.

Nick Sneddon

It HAS to be Trainspotting – one million percent

Nick Sneddon
>>93807383

Its my favourite film of the last decade, i don’t think its popular enough outside of Europe though unfortunately

Future Boy

I hope you choose to put Eyes Wide Shut on the schedule one day. Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman, Kubrick's final film. I understand why some people hate it, but over the years it's become my favourite Kubrick film, and I'm a Kubrick die-hard. Consider it for December. It's got a "Christmas in New York" vibe that I love. P.S. I hope Rain Man holds on to its lead. It would be a great reaction!

Future Boy
>>93806968

"Her" would be great. And while we're talking weird films that feature Scarlett Johansson, also Under the Skin (2013).

Toc

I saw EWS the day it opened, at the earliest showing I could find: 11 a.m. And then I saw it again that night. I saw that movie twice in a single day, that's how much of a Kubrick die-hard I am! And then I watched it a zillion times afterwards. I am giving it one more chance this Christmas and that's it! I can't take it at all. In my opinion, the boot camp sequence of "Full Metal Jacket" was Stanley's last masterpiece, lol But hey - this Xmas, I'm going to watch this turkey one last time! I'm going to watch it either Christmas night.....or the night after Christmas. I am ready to receive the brilliance of EWS. I actually had a friend who worked on the set of EWS and got lots of great stories, some of which have surfaced, others that haven't. I want to like it! He died in March, the movie came out in the autumn - Kubrick famously edited right up until the premiere and in some cases (2001 and The Shining) made major cuts to the film after it premiered. EWS feels unfinished, he would have been tweaking that thing right up until the release.

Forrest
>>93806968

Would you put Under the skin under drama or horror? Creeped me out when I saw it but loved it. Great shout!

Forrest
>>93808050

Yeah it largely flew under the radar when it came out. Personally I liked it but I know many people felt a little bored with it. I'd check out it for sure though, especially if you like little sea-side towns, something not often showed in American Films or shows.

bosho11

Voted Rain Man. This would be a perfect poll for Amadeus and Kubrick's Barry Lyndon

softshoes

Blood Simple. Where it all began for Margie.

Mark M

To Live and Die in LA. I need more Willem Dafoe in my life.

Jeff Phillips

TBR and Sam, couple of more great dramas if you have not seen them to add to future lists: 1) Schindlers List and ET (both Directed by Steven Spielberg) 2) No Way Out -1987 (Kevin Kostner and Gene Hackman) underrated great movie like a drama/action

Jeff Phillips

3) Moonstruck (Cher and Nickolas Cage) 1987. Great movie that won Cher an Oscar.

David Wilkins

Breaks my heart to see wonderful films get so few votes, and the predictable, or box office champs get so many. And that applies to most polls.

Stephanie

Sleepers is so underrated.

BRT

Is the proposed version of Eyes Wide Shut the uncut version, which Kubric considered his greatest contribution to Cinema? Or is it going to be the cut version

mikethemotormouth

Not surprised Rain Man is running away with it. The definition of character development. Not really fair to everything else.

Ken Veader

Eyes Wide Shut should be watched regardless, Kubricks final film and its great and disturbing

Eric Lee
>>93832828

EWS is such a hypnotic film - visually fascinating and fantastic use of music!

Eric Lee

Wonder Boys is great, but I always thought of it as more comedy than drama!

Lük
>>93807374

It has a "Coen Brothers Comedy" feel to it for some reason.

Future Boy
>>93808811

Pump up the Volume. It's in my top 5 films. Maybe sounds kind of sad, but that film was my best friend during high school. Maybe it saved my life. The world will stop turning if I ever see it on the schedule!

Alex

Trainspotting is as funny if not more than some of the movies in the comedy poll LOL. MUST WATCH.

Ian

I know it won't stand a chance of winning but I'm still voting for sleepers an amazing cast with outstanding performances 👍 I just hope one day you get to watch as a reaction or join st in your own time you won't regret it I promise you

ShadowVessel π

Sleepers is a hard, but perfect movie🤘

William 1611

IMHO, "Rain Man" is the pick of the litter for sheer drama (although there are comedic elements as well). "The Elephant Man" is a very good historical drama, but don't be expecting a typically "weird" David Lynch movie: he was playing it straight. And he plays it straight very well.

Tim Raths
>>93847790

Rain Man is running away with this one but I hope one day we get a reaction to The Elephant Man.

Uncle 'Traveling' Matt

Well, so much for my theory about y'all only voting for things they've seen before! :) Surprised to see Sleepers getting so little love. Brad Pitt, Jason Patric, Billy Crudup, Robert DeNiro, Kevin Bacon, Minnie Driver, Dustin Hoffman.... I mean... good lord, talk about STACKED! And even though he's only in the film for like 2 seconds, I think King Benny steals the whole damn thing! :D

Robert Boyd

Terms of Endearment and Broadcast News are great dramas by James L Brooks, who also directed As Good As it Gets and created The Simpsons. They should definitely be on your reactions list. Glad to see Fearless on your list. It’s a masterpiece and my favorite Jeff Bridges performance. It won’t win the poll because almost nobody has seen it. Trust me, though, it’s worth watching.

Uncle 'Traveling' Matt

I wonder if there's any interest in Blue Ruin (2013)? Someone recommended Green Room (2015), in the horror poll, and it's written/directed by the same dude. They are both FANTASTIC films.

Tyler Foster

I'm begging! Just do the Coen Brothers in chronological order!

Christopher B.

Trainspotting is one of my favorite movies ever and well worth the watch regardless. FYI: it also has an excellent sequel done roughly 20 years later, that (similar to Cobra Kai) takes a different thematic approach to the material and world of its characters while still being faithful to that which came before.

BRT
>>93827107

Yeah since 2007. I should have said unrated version but that is the film in it's entirety as Kubric intended it.

BRT
>>93825046

Hey whatever poll it ends up on I'll vote for it ;D

BRT
>>93825492

It's the way of the world. I think it would be great to do polls like this but also do like a random wheel spin for the runners up, so there's an occasional wildcard winner instead of just by popular vote.

BRT
>>93832828

Agreed. Kubric considered it his greatest film.

David Wilkins
>>93833676

Like the best work of any given “genre”, it doesn’t cling tenaciously and inflexibly to genre.

Eric Lee
>>93833676

Very true! I also think of Wonder Boys as my first (soft) exposure to LGBTQ+ cinema, even though the central story doesn't focus on its LGBTQ+ characters. I remember when this came out that was about as queer as you could expect a mainstream movie to get!

Tyler Foster
>>93872741

Yeah, if you watch Trainspotting, definitely check out T2 Trainspotting as well. In my opinion, it's up there with Creed, Doctor Sleep, and Blade Runner 2049 as a genuinely great "legacy sequel."

Tyler Foster
>>93871514

No more suffering watching their early masterpieces (Blood Simple, Miller's Crossing, The Hudsucker Proxy) get overlooked! And they hardly have a dud in the bunch through to today.

Ken Veader

To Live and Die in LA is awesome

Nick of Time

Rain Man is really good, but I was hoping to see The Elephant Man, Trainspotting, or Eyes Wide Shut pull a win. Keeping my fingers crossed Eyes Wide Shut will earn a viewing around Christmastime.

Neal Romanek

Fearless is a great movie that you don't hear about much these days - Peter Weir, great director. My favorite on the list is Trainspotting, but throwing my vote for Rain Man.

Uncle 'Traveling' Matt

I'm very curious to see how much interest there would be in watching Do the Right Thing (1989). It's one of my top 10 movies of all time (and has been for decades). Additionally, practically NOBODY has reacted to it, which is a damn shame. It was Spike Lee's second film... and, to this day, there's still never really been anything else like it.

Mark Kelso
>>93980777

I agree it's a brilliant movie, funny and challenging and gripping. I would LOVE to see Sam and TBR's post-movie discussion about the climax of that film.

Chris Bruneau

I just LOVE to live and die in LA, its a great film, one of the best chase sequences ever filmed, young Willem Dafoe, & Vintage 1980s LA. it wont win, but I sure hope Dan & Sam watch it.

Miggie88

Lol why do people like Rain Man so much..?

ron clint

Because the performance of Dustin Hoffman won him the best actor AcademyAward, Cruise actually was equally as good, the story is based on a real life person (Kim Peake), and the chemistry jumps off the screen. Oh..and the musical score is perfection...

Uncle 'Traveling' Matt

What about The Iron Giant (1999)? One of the greatest animated films of all time!

Tyler Foster
>>93980777

I'd definitely be interested in it. I also would love to seem them tackle a movie that gave me similar vibes, 2018's Blindspotting.

TBR Schmitt
>>94093431

The first memory I have of sobbing to a film! Daniel and I have both seen it, but damn, what a movie! -Sam

WastedPo

"Fearless" has zero chance of winning. But I've hoped for years now that a reactor would watch it. It really has been flying under the radar since its release.

Neal Romanek

I just remembered that you have to see the 1970's thriller Marathon Man (starring Dustin Hoffman, Laurence Olivier, Roy Scheider - written by William Goldman, whose movies you love). I came here to tell you this. My work is done...
