FedeM

the Terminal with Tom Hanks

Ellie Rose

You know it! A lot in there for Rob too though 😆

I took it to mean Drama or historical or true story but maybe I am wrong.

Margaret

This was going to be my suggestion

Ellie Rose

I took it as historical drama or true story drama, but I think it is open to interpretation ☺️

Oriana Lo Presti

I mean it HAS to be Society of the Snow. Finally a category for it!

Fried Green Tomatoes (1991)

RabidSloth

Scrolled looking for this specific movie. On the off-chance that it wins I just wanted to chime in and heavily suggest the Director's Cut, which is vastly better than the theatrical cut imo.

Molly

Erin Brockovich great true story with Julia Roberts that she won awards for

blorgins

one of the best comfort films!!

CheshireKat528

Gods and Monsters (1998) Drama/True Story

Michael

blorgins

All Quiet on the Western Front (2022). Amazing WW1 film

The Goateed Geek

Tora! Tora! Tora! would be a far better pick than the schlock this film hab. My Opinion of course

Beware The Jabberwock

⭐️⭐️*Can this topic please be clarified please?*⭐️⭐️ There are a LOT of films on this list that are in NO way historical. Just “drama” is extremely general. Historical Drama is a really good pair down. Thank you. 😇

Sean

Goodfellas ?

Emmy

I love this movie so much

o.o

i dont see any options. might be broken for me, but reading comments, if conjuring 2 is up, lets do that one. the first one was a great reaction from yall.

Rabbit fire

That's how I read it also

Bluhawke

Fantastic film! My family is from that part of WV. No direct relation to the Hickams, tho.

Kim Magee

Beat me to it, fits 2 of the genres this month

PKKite

Casino

madgirlworld

12 angry men, 1957. I didn't see it on the list please forgive me if you have already reacted to it. Thanks.

Hunter Robinson

Great story! Hardly any reactions on YT!

Alyssa Dyson

geez why dont you just kill us all now lmao

Kim Magee

Captain Phillips...one of the most intense films I've ever watched and Tom Hanks :)

Beth

Came to suggest this. Morgan freeman and Denzel Washington among many others

Bradley Weeks

I thought of this one after I suggested mine. Great choice!

Kim Magee

Such a great film and Swayze ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Kim Magee

This one is for everybody with eyes. The women are well covered and the men have Norman reedus's other half playing. Helen, my God she's gorgeous in this

Kim Magee

Yep. Norman Reedus 's partner looked stunning as Helen

Kim Magee

Can't believe penguin Bloom isn't doing better. I mean it's got Rick Grimes in it for God's sake and it's about an animal

Kim Magee

This is such a great movie. I never get sick of watching it

Kim Magee

I will say very true

Kim Magee

I agree and the amount of people that said they should watch it a while back

frknM3R0

Primal Fear (1996)

Nora

“A Million Miles Away” ….. based on a true story… it’s so cool 🥲😃

Jenny Lee Villanueva

What Dreams May Come, Robin Williams. One of my favorite dramas in general and from him.

Daniel Minerva

Judas and the Black Messiah (2021) -sadly true story

Jenny Lee Villanueva

This post is to put 1 suggestion, related to the genre they posted and the most likes end in the polls

Jenny Lee Villanueva

I thought it said 3 genres and that it doesn't have to include all 3, but at least had to have one 🤷🏾‍♀️ at least what I took from it

Nelson Gonzalez

The Color Purple. Come on guys. This has to win. Historical and a drama. Oprah and Whoopi’s first movie.

Beware The Jabberwock

It says “drama/historical and true.” It reads like they want a historical drama, or a true story - ? — some of these movies are flat out pure sci-fi or not even closely related to the topic?? 🤨 I think some of us here are sincerely hoping for less of what we get EVERY month. Sci-fi, blockbuster, and recent releases are getting repetitive. 🫤

HappyFunJenn

Even 10 years after he passed, I haven't been able to rewatch this yet. Love Robin so much.

Lucinda Michel

Are you guys planning on watching Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes? I loved your other Hunger Games reactions

Kim Magee

It's already got enough hearts for the polls, looks to have a good shot, way ahead, great movie

Thurrak

The Big Short

Calbah

I think you're thinking of City of Joy. Very different movies.

Moviemuncher

Yeah, City of God is a South American film

Calbah

This movie started my lifelong obsession with the Tudor Dynasty.

Peter Ceniceros

This has been my favorite Western since I was a kid but it's also probably because it's one of the first Westerns I ever saw. 🙂

Jan T

Great suggestion!

Angelina Sargent

I read it that way initially as well but the next sentence says it doesn't have to be ALL of them... which means if it was just 2 options they would have said "both" of them. So it's 3... basic reasoning ftw! Lol 😆

Jan T

Loved this movie!

Jan T

Yes! Great film! Works on every level of the genres suggested.

Jan T

This would have been my suggestion too. Brilliant film.

Beth

Philadelphia. I didn’t see it listed Tom Hanks Denzel Washington and many other great actors. Strictly drama

Jan T

Loved this one. Tom Hanks is terrific. He’s got great comic timing.

Gabriel

Lawless (2012)

trlb

Rocketman, the Elton John biopic

Jan T

I think this should be clarified too. Historical drama or true story makes much more sense for a genre specific poll.

Gabriel

Based on a true psychotic break XD

Beware The Jabberwock

So, by this logic, everything that is sci-if/drama, or horror/drama qualifies? How is that any different than “suggest everything remotely related to drama?” I just asked for clarification because some of the suggestions are flat out REACHING. Thanks for adding the condescending last sentence. You win. 🙄

Gabriel

It’s a true story…

Gabriel

Borderline sci-fi/fantasy, but I guess it could slip in as « drama » as well

Gabriel

Come on 🙄🙄

Gabriel

Still, they are all other genres more than drama. 3 of them are sci-fi and the other is a thriller

Mr. K

Black Mass

Jan T

🙋‍♀️??? As someone else above asked, can we please have some clarification on the specific genre? Historical Drama OR True Story would be more specific. Some people are taking Drama/Historical or True Story to mean Drama OR Historical OR True Story. That’s a wildly wide category. Drama/Historical written that way looks linked to me.

Kale

Director's cut preferably!

Jan T

It’s already been suggested above. Great film!

matteo

sound of freedom

Eisbär

The Intouchables (Les Intouchables), 2011

Ayleids

The Pianist 2002

Korivex

My favorite movie of all time

Scarlett Monrow

I asked for What Dreams May Come several times. Beautiful movie!

Scarlett Monrow

Hilarious around the table discussion between CIA and Mossad!

Rabbit fire

There's actually a good amount of humor in this film and I love Phillip Seymour Hoffman in this movie

Kim Magee

The description was changed to make it clearer

Kim Magee

Omg love this movie

PhoenixReturns

This isnt a part of this category, not even close

Beware The Jabberwock

Also, it’s filled to the brim with so many young actors that became VERY famous. P.S. Got any Beemans? Loan me a stick? 😉❤️

Nora

The Blind Side (2009) true story

Goldcrusty

already has been suggested

Kim Magee

Already down below and killing it

HappyFunJenn

Respectfully, newer information has determined that the Blind Side actually isn't a true story. I won't say why as to not spoil if they do decide to watch. Still a good movie but definitely (unfortunately) far from true. I don't mean any disrespect 💙

ezza

The sting

Lovaire Hawkins

Since I didn't suggest the right kind of movie, I want to suggest another movie. 42 (Chadwick Boseman)- 2013

Ezekiel rage

One can only hope, I suggested this for the July poll, damn good movie. Historical, drama and true story. Check check and check.

Kim Magee

There are mixed reports and stories and it's as true as many, besides it's also drama

Jan T

It’s exactly the same as when I wrote my comment. It’s still written Drama/Historical, which looks linked. Yet people are still reading it as drama or historical or true story. Three options instead of two. The confusion remains.

Angelina Sargent

Yeah for real this movie is pretty forked up considering how it actually happened.

Jan T

It’s a very poorly written instruction, that’s confusing a lot of people. The Mods should really have clarified it by now.

Jan T

It’s a great movie. Very underrated unfortunately.

Abby

Julie & Julia 2009

conor hawman

Thirteen Lives (2022), this ones a true story.

Octavia

In light of the Olympics... Miracle (2004) - Kurt Russell

A very Untrue Comedy

Annabelle (conjuring universe)🤣

Sand Man

A Man Called Otto (2022) truly a fantastic movie

Elle

Brilliant movie!

Jashmir Bahadur

Does it include the couch shenanigans? 😂

Elle

Fruitvale Station (2013) true story

Kate

The theory of everything

adam99x

One of those films that i grew up with and can watch at anytime.

Kim Magee

Yeah actually that's a good point. Mine drama and true story so I'm happy with mine. Yeah you've got a point

MaggieS61

Nice to see this film getting some attention. Deserves it.

Jack's World

“Lone Survivor” True Story

Can

It's WW1

Sela

" / " is usually used to separate alternatives so I believe it's drama or historical

blorgins

My mistake!!!! so sorry

Sela

I've allways seen the / to mean 'or' when written in text.

Jake

Ford v Ferrari

Ryan T

Zero Dark Thirty - True story about the female CIA agent that found Osama Bin Laden

Anthony Tucceri

If You Want More Zombie/Walker Stuff Should Do Land Of The Dead 2005 By George Romero. The Zombie Creator Literally

Cindy

I LOVE this movie. I have rewatched it so many times and bought it on 4K. Never get tired of it.

Cindy

My take on this is historical/drama-a film that takes place well in the past but does not need to be based on a true story. For example, I suggested Last of the Mohicans that is a drama based in 1757. Historical is technically any story that occurred in the past, however it generally means a past prior to your own personal history. A true story can be any film based on actual events, such as the excellent suggestions of The Impossible, or Spotlight.

Cindy

Not historical or a true story

Goldcrusty

It's main category is a drama though

Goldcrusty

It means "or". They don't mean "historical drama". They mean either one.

Jan T

Silver Linings Playbook. Starring Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper. (A late suggestion due to the confusion over the wording of your post). That’s if this post means a choice between three different genres, Drama or Historical or True Story. If so you may as well have had a completely open poll, considering how wildly wide that choice can be considered, as shown by many of the suggestions. It’s disappointing that you ignored requests for clarification. Drama/Historical looked linked to quite a few of us, and would have made more sense.

PhoenixReturns

Awesome, i mustve missed it on the list, one of my favorite and most emotional movies ever ^^

Gnaw Maker

American Sniper if it counts.

HappyFunJenn

It looks like most of us read it as an option between the three but someone still went out of their way to pick on my suggestion (seemingly only my suggestion) for not being a true story. Not very nice.

Jan T

That’s unfortunate. No one should feel they’ve been picked on here. ♥️

Cindy

I would love a Western genre. So many good movies like Silverado, Tombstone, Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid.

Cindy

That's interesting. I have watched Goodfellas a couple of times and did not know until recently it is based on true events. Gives a whole different perspective watching it after knowing that information.

Schmaster

Great escape 1963

Kim Magee

It's already suggested

ruinfox

Ah my bad

Kim Magee

Curious what your movie was because there was a lot that probably wouldn't have fit but he probably would

Kim Magee

The thing is with this story there is two sides and even though I can't say too much at the moment, I have heard some stuff that most likely some of it was true But I honestly think there is two different versions and then the truth

Kim Magee

Perfect storm I don't know. I'd put it down as drama

Kim Magee

I Googled the movie and genre and one of the genres was drama

Kim Magee

Found you. And you're right, it does fall under drama and I gave you a heart just because I haven't seen it. But why not?

Kim Magee

Be careful. You have two suggestions. They may cancel this one out

Kim Magee

Is this similar to Marley and me? LOL

HappyFunJenn

Oh that was so kind! Thank you ❤️

Kim Magee

I've not heard of this movie, I often wonder if some are disadvantaged as they have varies names in different countries
