Neil

Here are some movies I hope you react to in the future: The Game (1997) - Michael Douglas - Drama / Mystery / Thriller Scent of a Woman (1992) - Al Pacino - Drama Meet Joe Black (1998) - Brad Pitt / Anthony Hopkins / Claire Forlani A Time to Kill (1996) - Matthew McConaughey / Sandra Bullock / Samuel L. Jackson

Jean-Dominic Lapointe

Given how she likes to play Fortnite, I think Simone would like Free Guy a lot, but all the choices here are great

Marko T.

Suggestion: Alien 3 and RoboCop 2.

Patrick Egan

Several good choices on that list, but the 80's kid in me HAS to vote for Tron :) Plus, its sequel Tron Legacy is awesome!

Mark Messer

I hope war of the worlds wins lol been waiting years for this. I’m happy with whatever though. :)

Onno Smits

I, Robot is totally up their alley. It's an OK movie, but a great movie for their reactions.

Nathan Jasper

Her is becoming more reality than sci-fi

FaceMustache

Original Tron is a rough fucking watch. It’s an interesting novelty but not very good. Tron Legacy, while flawed, is just a much better and more entertaining movie. I have some fondness for I, Robot, but haven’t watched in a very long time.

Florian

I recommend "Sunshine" as a awsome SiFi Horror Thriller and hardcore soundtrack

Marko T.

War of the Worlds is great.

paul rai

I sincerely hope Her places in the top 3. An incredible love story similar to Eternal Sunshine and Lost in Translation. One of the most beautiful films about finding connection and love in our technologically-advanced age. One of Joaquin Phoenix’s best performances and I love how it intelligently treats technology in the modern world that feels realistic and practical instead of being far-fetched. Also, Arcadia Fire’s score is excellent.

Colin Reid

I Robot, really underrated film in my humble opinion.

QuiGon_Jim (Howe)

'Road To Perdition'.. 'Hunt For The Wilderpeople'.. 'Swiss Army Man'.. 'What We Do In The Shadows'. And 'Moon'

David Pieper

George you would probably appreciate The Hitchhiker's Guide To the Galaxy humor the most. Plus it has some of your favorite actors in it.

JakeyShakeyBakeyBoy

Good list of choices but Her will hopefully take this one - it still has one of Joaquin Phoenix’s best performances in my personal opinion. Hitchhikers and War of The Worlds are also fun times and I think will be great watch-alongs!

DemNikoArt

Strong Suggestion: "Sunshine" from Danny Boyle. A hidden gem of modern Science fiction. An amazing and beautiful sci-fi film about a space ship crew that is flying to the sun to re-ignite it. Mezmarizing, beautiful, suspenseful and with a... wait for it... "stellar" cast 😁

The Gunslinger

A sci fi movie you should definitely watch is Oblivion. It's a very underrated film with Tom Cruise and Morgan Freeman. With an incredible score from M83.

Balmung

I, Robot is unfortunately more of a Will Smith Action movie than it is a good sci-fi story. It's enjoyable enough, but it's "I, Robot" in name only, as it trades character and themes for bombast.

Joe Williams

"Her" is maybe my favorite AI-based film, with "Ex-Machina" a close second. Some future sci-fi options: Sunshine Moon Under The Skin

Anthony Donato

World War Z (2013) with Brad Pitt. In my opinion the best zombie movie you will see.

Reid Mclellan

I want to see George and Simone suffer through the "scene" in her

Travis

“Her” is not going to win but god damnit is it a good, well acted movie that will actually make you feel something.

Raymond DeGraw

Always enjoy watching along with your reactions... Here are my hopefuls to see in the future. 1. Alita Battle Angel 2. The Game 3. The Count of Monte Cristo (2002) 4. Labyrinth 5. Upgrade

Hans Olav Sletnes

On the topic of science fiction, I would like to reiterate my recommendation for "Dark City". I like I, Robot well enough, but it doesn't hold a candle to Dark City by the same director.

Ethan Holgate

I'Robot is absolutely brilliant one of Will Smith's best movie's aswell as scfi action

Zhivko Yakimov

Here are a few films that would be nice to see in a future sci-fi poll: Moon (2009) - I believe it has been requested more than once, great performance by Sam Rockwell Sunshine (2007) - a Danny Boyle film, written by Alex Garland (who directed Ex Machina). A very philosophical and thought-provoking work, with great cast (Cillian Murphy is the lead) Event Horizon (1997) - this goes a bit on the space horror side, but Sam Neil is great in it Dark City (1997) - an underrated gem, one of the strongest performances of Rufus Sewell Pitch Black (2000) - an indie production, with minimal budget, which I would say put Vin Diezel on the map (though his breakout performance is undoubtedly the original The Fast and The Furious) 12 Monkeys (1995) - I still consider this one of the best performances of Brad Pitt; however, I don’t believe it has aged that well Open Your Eyes (1997) - while some people put it in the thriller category, it is technically sci-fi. It is a Spanish film, which you don’t see often in the sci-fi category, with a young Penelope Cruz, so it may be worth having a look I apologize if you have mentioned these films in one of your AMA videos.

JayF

Free Guy was just terrible IMO. I'd love to see Tron somehow pull this one out. Sci-Fi suggestions - Super 8 Close Encounters of the Third Kind Starman Enemy Mine Flash Gordon The Blob (1988) Slither Flatliners

Aaron

Gattaca!

Dirge Girl

John Carpenter's They Live (1988) Event Horizon (1997) 12 Monkeys (1995) Dark City (Director's Cut) (1998) Annihilation (2018) Moon (2009) Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977)

Amar

Her is such a beautiful movie. You should just watch it at some point without any poll.

jmundt33a

Didn’t I Robot already win one of these?

jmundt33a

Gattaca, Dark City, and Minority Report are all great.

Awesome80s

I would suggest Brazil (long version) wich is a Masterpiece

UnSafeStu

Always keep my fingers crossed for Hitchhikers guide. My favourite book of all time. Just wanna Simone's take on it

Tay Schumaker

Wish Her would win, but it has no shot

This Hon

Can we get American pie 2?

lovemoose

I would love to see more pixar movie reactions, like wall-e, finding nemo, and ratatouille (these 3 are my top favorites)

Rachel W

Still no "Close Encounters Of The Third kind", the Spielberg classic? This must be rectified! lol

FWPJR.

I haven’t seen any of these, I’m not really into that many Sci Fi movies or TV shows. But I wish you two would react to Men in Black 2 since you did the first one. I might be alone on this. But I loved all three MIB movies ( I didn’t like the one they did a few years ago with all new cast members though )

Astraeos

I'd definitely second a MiB 2 reaction.

Kyle B

Really gotta get Short Circuit showing up on the polls.

LPWVIII

Sunshine would be great for future polls

Parabolica

Surprised Cloverfield Lane isn’t on a list yet given how much you enjoyed the first one. I guess it’s more psychological than sci-fi but still worth a look.

tom david johansen

supriced that Simone 2002 is not on the list, mostly cause of 1 of Simone's jokes about not being real ;)

mky

Of course, I'd be remiss in my duties if I let a Sci-Fi poll go by without recommending "The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension", with the hope that it will someday make it to a Cinebinge episode in our lifetimes.

Johen Kay

Still no Gattaca or Brightburn?

Jeff Norwood-Brown

Why have you watched two Tremors and, yet, not a single Paul? Until you watch Paul, I can’t begin to myther you about Baron Munchausen or Brazil. Or The Dish.

Mike C

I love Tron, but I think George would be cringing a lot.

Maikeru Dagurasu

American Ninja on a poll would be dope. Story, acting and fight scenes not great but still cool and Michael Dudikoff looks cool in the ninja suit. It was part of my childhood, especially the second part.

Nate Gavin

I tried to heart all those who requested Gattaca. S&G, pretty please with sugar on top, this is also my fourth request! YaY

Long-time Sci-Fi Enthusiast

Hi George & Simone, please consider (The Andromeda Strain) 1971, (Rollerball) 1975 & (Silent Running) 1972 for a future Sci-Fi poll.

Dan

I'd love to see you guys watch GATTACA. It's a really poignant movie that will make you ask questions, the way good sci-fi does. I, Robot is just a generic action movie for Will Smith imho. Doesn't really surprise you or make you think anything new or different or see anything in a new light. It's entertaining enough but not sci-fi in the way the book was intended.

DM DC

You two would LOVE Paul! That's just fact. If and when you do finally get around to Paul, I recommend not looking up cast or the poster, just watch!

MPH

Damn, people are voting in reverse order of goodness. Usually, I agree with cinebinge fans, but not today. Her is incredible. Hitchhiker's Guide will make for the best reaction. I-Robot is pretty cool and relevant today, but the writing and acting isn't stellar. War of the Worlds is ok. I love the ending. I guess all these choices are fine.

Nat B

Her is such a great movie. And very topical.

Brendan Rafferty

I, Robot… the book of stories by Isaac Asimov is brilliant. I, Robot… the film, starting Will (“awww hell no”) Smith is a logic defying piece of garbage that shares little more than a name with the book. From the absurd opening where Will Smith’s character just wakes up but is clearly physically jacked up, like the actor just did a hundred push-ups and crunches seconds before the cameras were rolling …to the most absurd and blatant product placement you will ever see in a film, this is garbage. One of three garbage films on this list that were based on far superior books.

proVaxxer

HER shouldn't be included in polls. It's a small movie that focuses on character relationships and is about the human condition and really interesting and relevant sci "fi" concepts, so there are not nearly enough explosions and fart jokes for it to do well in a democratic system.

Brendan Rafferty

The BBC did a short miniseries of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy in 1981 that was terrific, funny, and faithful to the book. Yes… it was very low budget, but that worked with the tone of the story. I would recommend seeking that version out and ignoring the Hollywood film. The film had some great potential and solid casting… but the story wasn’t just shortened and dumbed down… it was rewritten by committee, adding villains and space battles and a “hero gets the girl” love story

Joe

The film of Hitchhiker's Guide is really bad, despite a great cast. It contains practically nothing that made the books great. A very poor adaptation.

Random Nevermind

Sci-fi movies that should be watched (by my opinion) by Cinebinge: - Moon - Dark City

China Andronicus

12 Monkeys should so be on this list! 😭 I would also throw out the OG Day the Earth Stood Still, the Man Who Fell To Earth, and if you want a good laugh sometime, Ice Pirates is one of the weirdest and most 80s films I’ve ever seen. I would add Repo: the Genetic Opera in there, but the music would make it impossible to edit for YouTube.

Ginger

Too late to recommend the "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" BBC series? It's so much better (and I even liked the new film).

Tcrimson05T

Oh I'm definitely voting for Her again. The conversations would be fascinating.

beecroft adams

Maybe watch the hitchhiker's guide tv show from the 80's I think. Much better adaptation plus new to the both of you.

RipTheRipper

Her and Free Guy would be my 1 and 2... looks like I,Robot will win...I enjoyed it at release...only time I saw it...didn't make huge impact on me which is why I'm a bit surprised it is winning...but a rewatch may remind me why other peeps seem more engaged on it

John

Great Poll, In honor of March Madness, a tradition in the US for crowning the National College Basketball Champions and an excuse for a lot of gambling. Here is a potential future poll (Basketball). 1. He got game 2. Hoosiers 3. Hoop Dreams 4. Blue Chips 5. Love and Basketball 6. White men can't jump 7. Finding Forrester

Dirge Girl

The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai (1984) Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) Tank Girl (1995) Time After Time (1979) Nope (2022) John Carpenter's Escape from New York (1981) Under the Skin (2013)

RipTheRipper

Future Requests 1. Bottoms (2023) 2. Promising Young Woman (2020) 3. The VVitch (2015) 4. 48 Hours (1990) 5. The Bad News Bears (1976) 6. Thoroughbreds (2017)

HeyHeyJK

While I would love to see a channel NOT react to "I, Robot" for a change, I'm glad to see "War of the Worlds" is in 2nd place (for now) and throwing in a vote for that. It's not perfect but it has some great moments and seems to be fairly underrated in Spielberg's filmography. Also, as someone who hasn't read "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" I actually really liked the film adaptation. Again, not perfect, but it's worth it for the Henson Workshop practical suits of the Vogons, if nothing else and the cast is great. "Fun" Fact: I used to do Photoshop work for a company that created DVD menus for films and I worked on both the "I, Robot" and "THGttG" DVDs. 'k, bye!

G P

The Man Who Wasn't There Barry Lyndon Eyes Wide Shut Dune (1984) Raising Arizona The Game

JoeE

Would also recommend 12 monkeys and gattaca, also dog day afternoon (not sci-fi but gattaca reminded me of it

Blake K

Her is great and overlooked. Even though it won't win this poll I really hope y'all watch it at some point.

sheriffjt

I'm going to keep recommending 12 Monkeys, although it doesn't have either Adam Sandler or Will Smith, so it seems unlikely to win a poll

Jay Davis

Also pitching in for 12 Monkeys sometime in the... future.

sarCC

Not a sci-fi movie(for that, I'll get behind everyone else recommending 12 Monkeys), but the 2nd anniversary of the release of RRR just passed and it would be great if you two watched it. You've done alot of very long movies lately, recently released ones even, but none of them fly by as fast and make you wonder where the time went as RRR. And no other movie manages to pack as much story, action, humor, heart, drama, and joy into one place. You will not regret watching it.

Dioskur

I am amazed by the low vote count on Tron. Meh, maybe we will watch this masterpiece another time

M.C.G

I, Robot is decent enough but requires remembering that it's actually not an Asimov adaptation but an original screenplay they added homeopathic levels of Asimov stuff into. Weirdly, it's closer in some ways to a Caves of Steel adaptation than anything from the I, Robot story collection.

Thomas Larsen

I knew I preferred scifi over most things, but never been so clear now wanting 5 of the choices and normally struggling to find one ^^

Moon45

Her on the plate and we got I ROBOT WINNING

Happy Hanukkah

The hate that the I, Robot film receives is solely due to toxic Asimov fans unwilling to reconcile themselves to a POC main character. /0401

Saifu

Please finish watching the Glass trilogy...

TokyoLopez

i know simone likes alan tudyk so i’m voting for i, robot

RLYtoxic

I, Robot in top spot on this list? I forgot it was April 1st.

Miguel Tapia

War of the Worlds is so good

Darin Foat

I, Robot is winning? Damn. That's depressing.

Silver Linings Starman

Now, I know people have been asking for Sunshine. It's the best modern Sci-Fi and I'll stand by that

Funny That

Even if it does not get as far as second place it is past time to share Hitchhikers Guide... largely because it is hard to remember how long it has been since it was first mentioned. While not everyones favourite adaptation, it was (like most of the numerous others) adapted by Mr Adams and it is a good movie.

Rob Church

Can't believe Her isn't doing well. After Lost in Translation I know they would love it.

Terdell Ferguson

Been waiting forever for FREE GUY to show up! After the READY PLAYER ONE reaction, FREE GUY is the logical successor. Come on, peeps - Let's do this!

Dan Holmes

Go ahead and watch i, Robot but just know this, it is utter trash with like 1 cool scene. And the problem isn't Will Smith, in fact you should watch Gemini Man or even Wild Wild West instead. and for a non sci-fi thriller please check out Enemy of the State with Smith and Gene Hackman, underrated 90s action thriller :)

Dan Holmes

SUNSHINE seconded Also THE FOUNTAIN which may be classified more under Fantasy? but it has sci fi elements ;)

Maikeru Dagurasu

Harold and Maude ask you sweetly to put em on a poll.

Brandon Meng

Her is the best movie on this list for me.. did not expect to see it win but pleasantly surprised to see how many votes it's received. I'm just gonna throw out a giant list of my favorite movies I can think of off the top of my head and see if anything sticks with the community: Perks of Being a Wallflower (Coming of Age Drama) Forgetting Sarah Marshall (RomCom) Sideways (Dramedy) Manchester by the Sea (Drama) Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (Drama) Blue Valentine (Drama) Lars and the Real Girl (Romance/Drama) Gran Torino (Drama) I Love You, Man (Comedy) Our Idiot Brother (Comedy) Walk Hard (Comedy) Midnight in Paris (Romance) About Time (Romance) Along Came Polly (RomCom) The Heartbreak Kid (RomCom) National Lampoon's Van Wilder (Comedy) Waiting ... (Comedy) Birdman (Drama) Citizen Kane (Classic) Maltese Falcon (Classic) To Kill a Mockingbird (Classic) The King's Speech (Historical Drama) The Game (Suspense/Thriller) The Count of Monte Cristo (Adventure) Minority Report (Sci-Fi) Grindhouse (Planet Terror + Death Proof back-to-back) Unforgiven (Western) The Outlaw Josey Wales (Western) Life is Beautiful (WW2/Holocaust) The Pianist (WW2/Holocaust) Chef (I think Simone would enjoy it) And then for good measure, you should do the sequels for The Matrix, Wayne's World, and Harold and Kumar. I wouldn't normally think of those movies to recommend but I think both sequels are better than the originals. TL;DR: I love movies.

Philipp Roensch

People still like I, Robot? ironically maybe. But my votes are for Her and Free Guy.

AstralCars

The fact that I, Robot and Free Guy are beating Her in this poll probably means I should hold back on my Andrei Tarkovsky requests 😂

Sir Dongle

With the amount George references Hitchhikers Guide and Simone doesn't get it, you guys GOTTA watch it at some point soon even if it doesn't win

Sir Dongle

Some future Sci-fi requests: (In no particular order) - Gamer - Primer - eXistenZ - Turbo Kid - Inner Space - Oblivion - Minority Report - Equilibrium - Dark City

GaryJerryLarry

Shane Darcy

Kindly suggesting ‘Infinity Pool’ for future sci-fi poll consideration

Onikaze

voted for Tron, Barberella and Free Guy. not sure I would throw Freeguy into the sci-fi tent, even at the big top levels it gets treated as but it's fun with an ok premise and I get to point out when they show the diving into the city sequence it's pretty much just Pittsburgh :P

Bennett Holleman

Tron all the way, probably because I'm old enough to remember the Intellivision games from the same period including Deadly Discs, Maze-a-Tron and also Solar Sailor which used a voice-synthesis module called Intellivoice that was mind blowing back then.

Logan Nelson

Flood it with Her votes... I'd love to see what George thinks considering his work history...

Curious

Unfortunately, while science fiction should have produced a lot of great works (it's inherently a visual genre for an inherently visual medium), there really aren't that many great options. "2001: is, by most accounts, the greatest ever made. "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" isn't a bad runner up. Of course, along with being a visual genre, it's a genre for the expression of ideas. And there aren't many directors (Kubrick and Spielberg are obvious exceptions) who can seriously deal with ideas. Best of luck though.

3dbadboy1

Barbarella??? Not unless you guys wanna die from laughter at all the silliness.

Jay Davis

War of the Worlds is a much better adaptation of a prior non-film work of fiction than I, Robot, in my opinion. But I get the appeal of the latter and won't mind what should be a fun reaction. Glad to see War of the Worlds pulling a solid second right meow.

Keith Bishop

Another shout out for Gattaca.

Jacob King

First I Am Legend then I, Robot, we better be building up to A Winter’s Tale, the best of the Will Smith/Akiva Goldsman cinematic universe. I’m voting Her and Free Guy and shadow voting Sunshine, Moon, Gattaca and 12 Monkeys.

Byron

The fact Her is losing to Free Guy is a crime against humanity

Amar

Everyone in the comments wants Her lolol. Same!

Smooticus

Going to suggest a few fantasy movies for future polling Time Bandits Brazil Adventures of Baron Munchausen

droodly

Can you just add all the movies one of you have seen to the Sunday movie list? George has been blue-balling us with Hitchhikers Guide references, followed by Simone asking "what's that?" followed by George saying "we should watch that" for a long ass time. Movies that one of you have seen, usually have zero chance of winning.

gfixler

It breaks my 80s boy heart that Tron is polling so much lower than I, Robot and War of the Worlds, both of which I enjoy, but Tron was the greatest thing I and everyone else I knew had seen when it came out. I guess it doesn't translate to the younger crowd these days, like some of my parents' classic movies don't for me. For me, it's up there in a special class of fantasy/sci-fi mega-classics, like The Goonies, The Dark Crystal, Gremlins, Labyrinth, etc, that were unlike anything that had come before them.

Monica Alarcon

How is I robot Wining over War of the worlds???? I like both movies and would enjoy either reaction but it's just amazing to me...

Huckleberry lobo

Law Abiding Citizen starring Gerard Butler and Jamie Foxx for the views

Skyruff Creative

Sci-fi suggestions: Heavy Metal (1981), They Live (1988). TV series ( any) dead like me 2003, good omens (2019) or the magicians (2015). From the current list I am voting for Free Guy not because it’s the best but I think it will get the best reaction, especially if heart monitors are involved.

Brendan Rafferty

HER is the most realistic depiction of how AI will be used in the very near future

AC10

If these comments are to be believed... I should really watch Her soon. Might have missed out on something good.

Joe

First and foremost, no offense to anyone! Just a general observation from a 45+ year old that loves movies and has an opinion… I feel like this poll finally defines who the primary audience of this channel is: people that grew up in, or have a nostalgic feeling towards, the early to mid 2000’s. I Am Legend and I, Robot winning recent polls (both movies are fine for what they are, but neither are better or more conversational than films they’ve placed ahead of in their respective polls) just screams nostalgia for that timeframe. No knock on anyone that’s affectionate to that era, just my two cents based entirely on nothing but my (probably biased) observations. I’ll watch whatever, so bring on whatever’s next!!

Richard Powers Hardt

Her is an amazing film. If you haven't seen it you voted against it, if you have, you probably voted for it.

Happy Hanukkah

I ought to warn you that if you react to I Robot, I'll be obnoxiously yelling "Play Free Guy!" throughout.

GBmain

I'm quite taken aback by the movies winning the poll. Especially over the Douglas Adams classic and prescient movies such as 'Her.' It's remarkable how pertinent it feels in todays world. Though it's been awhile since i've seen it so it might not have aged as well as I imagine.

howtocookazombie (Stan)

Hey George & Simone. I have another Sci-Fi movie suggestion: "Gattaca" from 1997. It seems it is not in your collection here on Patreon. I *really* would like to see your both reactions to it, even though it won't make it in this Sci-Fi-Pool. 🙂

Tony2012av

No!!!!!! I wanted War of the Worlds to win so badly 🤦‍♂️😣😖

Lex Kuzma

Okay so I missed the window on this poll, but you should totally watch Barbarella for the unintentional comedy of it, and Her because it's beautiful and touching once you get past the somewhat silly concept.

Shane Darcy

Kindly suggesting ‘Poor Things’ for future sci-fi consideration!

iFixSAN

Honestly didn’t see this result coming. Not sure if I, Robot has hit “cult” status or if there’s a well organized trolling effort at play here. Either way, I’ve not watched it in a few years, so i suppose i can sit through fresh re-watch, even with Shia’s involvement. Recommendations: Gattica The Game Naked Lunch Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas Falling Down Darkman Death to Smoochy 2010 The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou Also, (pipe dream time) It might be worth looking at finishing the Craig Bond films, then swinging back in time and doing a “once in a while” stab at classic Bond films. It wouldn’t need to be as aggressive as you did with the Mission: Impossible series, but it would be interesting to see the progressions and resets along the way. Also, Also. Concept idea for once a year (or more if the ratings work out). A “Winners Among Losers” poll. I rarely see films in polls that are genuinely hated across the board, so maybe start a poll that is nothing but the last place winners from 8 prior polls..

Hyperdryve

Omfg Barbarella was on a poll and as always I missed the voting. Not that it would have won but still 🥲

BzzBzzBzzBzzBzz

OMG I would love to see you guys react to Naked Lunch. I have read all of William S. Burroughs' books and loved this film.

Angela D. Mitchell

I hope you do War of the Worlds after I, Robot. It's a better movie, and very moving as an answer to 9/11 from Spielberg (it's very noticeably an answer and exploration).
