Face/Off is the only one of these I have seen.

Face/Off, The Game and Event Horizon are all brilliant for different reasons. My horror heart just has to go with Event Horizon.

Ann Bostic

Face/Off is one I haven’t seen in ages, but it left a huge impression! Major acting props to both John and Nic. 🤩

Dan

Aww, you mean you're not gonna consider Orgazmo, from South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker? JK JK 😄

Paul Howard

Honestly, was a hard choice between the three for me

Donnie Brasco and The Game?!?! Ugh…literally impossible to choose just one!

Tyler Foster

Worth noting that despite the name and what it's about, there is almost no nudity in Orgazmo whatsoever, so who knows, maybe it could be on another poll someday...

Tyler Foster

Based on the current results, this is going to work out quite nicely, as Face/Off is directed by John Woo, the famous Hong Kong action director who made some legendary, genre-defining movies in his homeland, such as The Killer (1989) and Hard-Boiled (1992), before being lured to Hollywood to bring his style to American movies, such as Hard Target (1993), and...Mission: Impossible 2 (2000). Face/Off is generally considered his best American movie.

Tyler Foster

While it currently appears that Face/Off has a decisive lead, I definitely think Event Horizon will be perfect for KL based on her love of another movie that I won't name (but which should be pretty obvious once she sees it).

Tyler Foster

I can't speak for Donnie Brasco, as I have not yet watched it, but you should definitely see Event Horizon and The Game.

I have a soft spot for one of the films in the poll that isn't going to win, but Kaiielle watching Face/Off might be appointment streaming. lol

RichieRich

All great movies. I am voting Donnie Brascoe. Not only is it a great movie, but it is currently in last and I just want to give it some love.

I have a long dopey story about the first time I "saw" The Game—no spoilers. This was years ago, when I was a kid. It was on tv—remember when TV was a thing—and I started watching it. After about 15-20 minutes into the movie, there's an ad break. I don't watch ads, so I flick the channel over to see what else is on while the ads play. I flick back and start watching again. After about 5 or 6 minutes, I'm thinking to myself, "I don't know what the fuck's going on". I think I must have missed some big twist while I was flicking around the channels. But, I sort of get reorientated and I'm following along, again—but I'm still a bit confused about how much the tone of the film has changed. Then, after another 20 minutes there's another ad break and I flick around the channels, again. This time when I go back to the movie, it's really not making any sense, at all. And then, for whatever reason, I realize I'm watching a different network. I'd been flicking between The Game and Wall Street :D I ended up watching two completely different films spliced together via Michael Douglas and my own stupidity while effectively watching neither. I voted for Face/Off. :)

Nathan Jasper

Hoping for Brasco, but I won't be upset at any of these winning. They're all masterpieces

Nathan Jasper

Brasco I believe is my 2nd favorite Johnny Depp film. I'd have to recheck that list but it's definitely in the top 5

Sam Ferguson

I feel like I say this a lot, but... XD These are all great movies, and will make for great reactions. But even if it doesn't win the poll, or get filmed as a reaction, I would encourage you to watch 'Event Horizon' on your own. Without spoiling anything, it's a delightful bit of 90s sci-fi/horror.

DarthChef

I voted for The Game because it's early David Fincher. But I hope that Face/Off is the beginning of your John Woo journey.
