What a time to be alive

Isaiah Cox

OMG SINNERS REACTION WOULD BE CRAZY

My Toasty Toast

I have such a love for Alien. Not only horror but anti-capitalist and critical of big business.

cosmotron

I’d be happy with most of these, but hoping for Alien or Sinners.

Daniel Molina

Oh what i would give to watch Sinners for the first time again

Komikall

They watched it already and did not like it unfortunately.

Truemeathead

I’ll always vote for Stephen King even if they kind of butchered the book. PLUS that leads to the sequel Doctor Sleep directed by Mike Flanagan. Long days and pleasant nights!

Nur

I know sinners is gonna win but please watch the shining after 😭😭

Timothy Smith

Somebody take me in your arms tonight

Isaac

It's on the channel, Eric

Isaac J. C.

C'mon, guys. It's Kubrick! How is the shining so low! :(

Julien

Love all those but Sinners is the current zeitgeist and the easiest and best choice at this stage. I just wish you didn't know it was "horror." But no biggie, the marketing gave that away long ago.

J.J

Just make sure it's The Thing from 82. That and Alien, and Aliens, are must watches.

Olid

Feels like Sinners has a recency bias advantage since the rest of the films are pretty old

Michael M

Recency bias gonna make Sinners coast to an easy victory. Very good movie, but the 4th best of the 4.

Rico

The Shining would be amazing

Celiz Embuscado

i vote sinners because it’s the most horror-y movie i can take 🥹 i also loved the latest frankenstein movie, but that’s not included in the poll 😅

Celiz Embuscado

if the girls watch the shining, i might have to watch it so i can watch doctor sleep

blitzman08

The Shining is the best movie of the 4. Cmon

dandelions2

I'm curious to see how SINNERS plays to an Eastern European audience

Richard Ramirez

Really guys?😀 from these awesome movies like Alien and the Thing, real classics yall choose Sinners?😀😀🤣🤣 wow...

Alex

Damn that's a strong lineup 👌

Ridley

Weapons 2025 lowkey clears all of these 😭

TylerNorCal

Ugh, ya'll are really choosing Sinners over The Shining and The Thing....woof

James Long

Alien or The Shining for me.

James Long

I think they have already seen Weapons.

Ridley

They havent

ksg

Sinners 100%. I personally didn’t find it too scary, but there is one scene that gave me absolute chills.

petitcorbeau

Ain't no way I'm watching any of those my sleep paralysis are behind me thank you very much 💀 good luck Milena lol ( also if someone want my vote just let me know what should I vote for!)

mundanelotus

Happy with any of these winning but Sinners I feel definitely would hit deeper emotionally for the girls

Brakthir

Found the elitist snob

ksg

vote sinners

Brakthir

Everyone yapping about what they think the best movie is on the list. No one talking about which movie would resonate and vibe with the girls the most nor provide the most interesting and emotional discussions. That movie, in this time and age, is clearly Sinners, even if it isn't the "best" movie on the list.

Jacob

This is a pretty common thing I always see in a lot of reaction channels. All 4 of these are fantastic movies. But when you put the one new thing against 3 timeless movies, the new thing will always win.

Pop n Lock

The Thing is the greatest horror movie of all time and usually has the most fun reactions, but Sinners is fucking great.

Mahni Alizadeh

I don’t really consider sinners horror but it’s good. Voting for The Thing though

AndyB

So to be clear, you choose Horror for now, right? You will be watching other genres too, just not this week?

N M

Which one is available for streaming on Netflix or Amazon Prime? I don’t want to have to buy another movie.

Eric Viola

Oooh interesting. Thank you!

Robert Dirk H.

All of them are free on MovieMaze.cc

Julien

Sinners is a brilliant movie and the others are undisputed and enduring classics that established their bone fides decades ago and continue to stand the test of time. The reason I chose Sinners is very simple: Sinners is rich and layered with a historical and emotional resonance that the others simply don't have. By far, it will make for the best reaction with these two - regardless of how I feel about the other movies. It's not even close, and anyone who thinks about this for two seconds should be able to see this.

Robert Dirk H.

How can you even make a horror poll without Avatar: The Last Airbender (2010)?

Brakthir

The social commentary as well as music as a medium alone makes it the best choice for the girls even though the other movies are all classics

Michael M

Alien storming back let's goooooo

Richard Ramirez

Elitist snob?😀😀😀 how is that elitist and snoɓ? Because I said that those are classics? Generations grew up on those movies son😀 sinners can not hold a candle to those movies young blood..😀 snob? Pff...

Brakthir

Well, yes, because people shouldn't pick what they consider the best movie but something that will resonate with the reactors the most and provide the best reaction. Sinners is a great movie with a resounding message and commentary which I think will really resonate with the girls.

HeavenlyR

Maybe the others have a nostalgia advantage

Brakthir

? I'm fucking 40 lmao. I grew up on those movies. Unlike you, my tastes didn't stop evolving in the 80s. I can appreciate the amazing strides cinema has taken in the time since then. Sinners will be considered a classic within a generation or two as well, "old head"

sand_fl

Am i dreaming? I adored Sinners

Richard Ramirez

Well im 40 too soooo how on earth u r not voting for those classics? Alien and the thing? Can u imagine the girls reaction? Much more interesting than a modern day flick.. yes sinners is good no doubt.. but the thing? Come on man...😀 Anyway it is what it is... a thing reaction from the girls would be so so fascinating their commentary their guessing..

Olid

That potential advantage is divided by 3 so a lot less impactful per film

Julien

Yeah. Like, this shouldn't even be close. But in these polls, people generally pick their favs without regard to reactor taste.

SwampFox95

I’ve only seen Alien, but would love for any of these to win so I would have an excuse to finally watch them.

Julien

This is a Balkans audience. And it's very atunned to American culture. As really is anyone who has a large reaction channel.

Julmor

I voted for the thing. But all of them are great options. Cant go wrong with any of them.

AB

All would be wonderful but Alien is such a classic I think you two would love it most of all

Fakudan

I voted for The Shining because it's my favourite horror film. But I literally suggested all of these and I would love to see your reaction to all of them. So there's no losing scenario for me lol

Jacob

I feel like if you are looking for their ability to chew on strong social commentary themes then you haven't dove too deep into The Shining. And that's not even my vote but all I think their reaction to all 4 off these would be fantastic and would love to see their thoughts. Some of the best reactions are reactors watching something out of their comfort zone.

JBK405

Wow, this is the first poll in a long time where EVERY option is fantastic. Not a single dud here, and they're all great in unique ways. I voted for "Alien", but I'll be happy no matter what wins.

Brakthir

How can you call yourself a viewer of the channel and not think that Sinners would resonate the most with the girls, especially in this time and age. Like, all the other movies are great and I'm sure the girls would enjoy most of them (even though a lot of them are glacially paced compared to cinema nowadays) but Sinners has the most relevant themes and narratives amongst them.

Richard Ramirez

Well they watch a lot of modern TV series so thats why it would be a nice change of pace to see how they react to a classic.. something old school.. sinners is exactly a modern thing just like the rest they react to..

Michael M

The added benefit of Alien is that it unlocks Aliens for a future poll. Just sayin' :)

Raphgod7

Loved Sinners, but it wasn't really a horror movie to me. It has horror elements in it, but it's more of a mixed genre film.

Raphgod7

It's like the first movie they watched on the channel.

ksg

Exactly, Sinners sparks more of a discussion than the others imo.

Sekraan

I like the book and don't think it accurate to say that Kubrick butchered it. He adapted it in a way that substantially changed the work and I think it stands on its own. The later mini-series that did a faithful adaptation pales in comparison to the movie.

Mark

Oof I can't believe The Thing is running last - disappointed in these patrons! Best practical effects ever put to film.

jweher

Wanna see the shining and maybe y’all reacting to it is what pushes me to finally see it but i still couldn’t resist picking sinners. It’s not scary tho lol.

big lu

Come on Sinners. You can do it. 🎉

Robert Dirk H.

If all people who voted for The Thing change their vote to The Shining, we could finally achieve the holy 33%-33%-33% :D

Brakthir

If y'all watch for discussions and themes the girls vibe with, I'm not sure how Alien is the best choice out of all of these. It probably has the least interesting discussions out of the 4 movies listed here.

Brian

Sinners is a good movie but definitely not a good horror movie. It's a toss up for me between Alien and The Shining, but I'm voting for Alien 👍

Mike

Post ten more versions of this comment, I think that will really convince people.

Brakthir

It's amazing how in contrast the community on Patreon here is to how the girls are. Condescending, elitist pricks in every poll

chamech

while i think alien and the shining are classics that absolutely need to be watched, i feel like sinners is just more up their street. sinners and the shining would offer the best discussions too i think

nellie

Praying so hard for Sinners

Francesco Balducci

They themselves decided for horror. If they wanted discussion, they would have chosen thriller genre instead. So "dumb" fun and jumpscares it is!

Truemeathead

Make no mistake, I think the Shining is an excellent movie. I just think it’s a mediocre adaptation. That mini series was an even worse 90’s network tv adaptation. As far as this flick, it’s a classic and Jack Nicholson messed around and became iconic. One of the things that makes Doctor Sleep so impressive was Mike Flanagan managed to make a sequel to both the novel and Kubrick’s movie. Damn near impossible but he killed it the same way he killed Gerald’s Game which on paper seems like it has no business being a movie, dude is a boss. Anyhoo, I’m being long winded…have a good rest of your day! 😁

Sekraan

@Brakthir from what I've seen you are the one exuding the most negativity in these comments. I get that you're passionate about your preferences for this poll and that's fine, but please take a minute to cool off or something.

Nur

SINNERS! SINNERS! SINNERS! SINNERS!

Brakthir

How am I exuding negativity at all lmao? I'm posting why I think Sinners would be the best movie to react to. It's not even my personal favorite movie on the list but I think it would be a better reaction than the other films.

Brakthir

bit confused here? Are you stating that horror movies don't have important themes and discussions to be had and are ALL dumb fun and jumpscares? Because that is very much not true lol

Julien

@Jacob: Whatever. There are degrees to everything. I don't understand than Sinners is far richer in layers and potential for commentary than the others including the Shining, then I dunno what to tell ya.

N M

Why a horror movie during this holiday season? A Thanksgiving or Christmas themed movie would be more interesting.

Julien

Dammit. Alien is winning now. Figures, it's a cultural juggernaut but damn, for once I need the recency bias crowd to show up big time. Kids, make yourselves useful for once! ;)

chefboyarkey

Alien only if you consider watching alien earth afterwards

Eric

Comments in here are wild. This is supposed to be a community of likeminded people who are here for the LM reactions not infighting.

Damien Fenton

Alien is the gateway to Aliens which I think would make for an excellent reaction video (Newt, etc.) so I voted to Alien. All four are great movies though.

Jacob

No hard feelings Julien, I just don't think there is a right answer on this poll. For those two movies commentary wise it's like comparing their reactions to the Wire and Mad Men. I'm positive they will have excellent reactions to both with deep commentary on both themes. But they both are really deep and layered imo. And I'm just as excited to see them react to some like Alien or the Thing, just to see how they would react to something like those movies which are not as heavy on themes but great in their own right for other reasons.

Saifu

The Shining + Dr.Sleep

Synyster

Have yall Alien fans not watched Sinners? Sinners is the best movie on here for LM to react to, they discussions alone are worth it

Julien

It is also a rather odd poll: 3 revered classics from nearly half a century ago... and a brilliant 2025 flick.

Brakthir

democracy was a mistake (this is a joke)

Riff Michaels

All good movies, heartbroken that my beloved The Thing is in last 😭

Luis

I think my favorite of the movies I suggested is Candyman. Especially given their love of the city of Chicago. List your favorites and long-shots!

Damien Fenton

I think Sinners is the best option for the post-reaction discussion (maybe followed by The Shining) but for a pure horror reaction while actually watching the film, I think Alien is better than Sinners (which would still be very good). Also, I really want them to react to and discuss Aliens and Alien is the gateway for that.

PamRenea

oohhhh SINNERS!!!!

Damien Fenton

I voted for Alien but there are a lot of passionate Sinners voters here too (understandly - it's a great movie) If Alien wins, perhaps the girls might consider just automatically watching Sinners next rather than waiting for another horror poll, which might be a long way off.

Darrach

Four fantastic movies, but my vote is for The Shining, start with one of the best movies of all time that is also a horror…but then the same thing could be said of Alien or The Thing

Jack SV

I will be honest.. Sinners has to be the most overrated movie ever lol I don’t know.. that’s just me.

Raphgod7

The ultimate trinity 😅

Michael M

After they tore down Cabrini Greens, they turned it into a softball field. I played 16" softball there for years. The last vestige of the gang would walk through our games from time to time to try to look cool I guess, but that's all they'd do. How the mighty have fallen.

Michael M

I mean, not knowing what Yam said is one of the reasons it's a fun watch. Thanks Yam.

Brakthir

can you delete this comment @yam its a spoiler..

Robert Dirk H.

Do not read Yam's comment below Jack's comment. It spoils Sinners.

Damien Fenton

Do not watch the trailer either. It gives away so many twists. I saw the trailer only after seeing the movie and I was shocked by how much it spoiled, and how less of a movie experience I would have had if I had seen it first. I did already know the type of antagonists though.

Thomas Fahey

If must only see one of them, it's Alien.

Julien

I'm a huge stickler for spoilers but the studio expressly marketed the specific genre of horror. While ideally it is best watched without that knowledge (which was really cool with some reactors), I feel like it's a losing fight and not worth it to try to actively shield folks from that. With spoilers you really gotta chose your battles.

Damien Fenton

I definitely disagree with that. It isn't fast paced but it takes its time for world-building and character interactions.

Kendall Roy 🇧🇷

The Thing is a masterpiece of horror, undoubtedly the best film in the history of the genre. But since it's between Sinners and Alien, I'll go with the good old classic Alien, a very good film.

carl houlihan

People keep suggesting Sinners for this post discussion reasoning but why not let people vote for the film they want them to react to? I've seen all 4 and as a horror reaction Sinners is the last I would vote for even though It's very good.

Jeff I.

I'd vote for both The Shining and Sinners. They have more dramatic substance and characterization for the girls to dig into, which seems more their style in general.

Tyrone Tyrone

Wow! Calm down people, it's just a one time showing. I haven't seen this much passion since they mentioned they might watch Code Geass. My ranked votes: 1. The Thing 2. Alien 3. Sinners 4. The Shining

Robert Dirk H.

When did they mention they would watch Code Geass? :D

Tyrone Tyrone

Well over a year ago, maybe two. They said it had been suggested to them.

Julien

"Wow! Calm down people" - Take your own advice. So far the discussion has been passionate but refreshingly civil and the advocacy free of ad hominem. It's been great. Chill.

on crip ...

Sinners obviously. the only one not like the others

Spilled Wine

Chose Sinners not for recency bias, but literal recency. It feels rare to see them react to a movie the same year it came out. And the three left are all classic horror movies that I feel pretty confident will win polls sooner or later, well The Thing is more cult classic, but it's certainly in the same tier as the other two for myself in terms of personal enjoyment.

on crip ...

the implicit aspects of the movie hit deeper depending on who's watching imo. and those are what make it great

refo44

I haven’t watched Sinners yet, so I can’t really give an opinion even though I hope to watch it soon. The other three options are great and definitely recommendable, but my favorite is "The Shining". As for the Alien saga, only the first and the second movies are truly good in my opinion( I haven’t watched "Alien: Earth", so I can’t say anything about that show). Also, have Lola or Milena already watched "The Others"? I don’t remember seeing it in their letterboxd. And as a personal general recommendation (not necessarily for a reaction). I suggest the argentine 2023 film "When Evil Lurks".

Raphgod7

Alien: Earth has some good moments, but the 2nd half of the season was really disappointed. Some reviewers hyped it up as the "Andor" of the Alien franchise, which is almost an insult to Andor imo because it's so much better than Alien: Earth.

Eric

When Evil Lurks is incredible

Gangster Pikachu

It's pretty obvious that the people voting for Alien don't know what type of movies/shows are good for the channel. I have no doubt that they will enjoy the film, but it won't generate even a 10th of the discussion that sinners will. Sinners is the type of movie that is made for them.

MaxVSTheGames

The thing is definitely the best one of them, but Alien is a close second, so it's still a good choice.

Julien

Movies in recent years are released on stream soon after the theater and sometimes simultaneously. Current year reactions are very common. Sinners especially has been a huge hit on reaction channels, the second it came out.

Truemeathead

Shout out to Doctor Sleep! (the directors cut-it’s much better than the theatrical release) Now that they are doing movies it feels appropriate for them to cover Flanagan flicks since they reacted to his Netflix shows. I’m gonna keep hollering LIFE OF CHUCK until folks tell me to shut up lol. It was so good and wholesome as opposed to his usual speed.

Julien

It's too late, Alien is a given at this point. But I hope they do watch Sinners on the channel. That they threw in among these venerable classics as a the odd man out indicates that they will.

cosmotron

I submitted The Others as a movie they should check out too! Definitely agree. I'm less big on The Shining haha, but I adore Alien, and it has a lot going on in terms of subtext.

cosmotron

I think there would be a lot of great discussion in Sinners, but it's not as if Alien is devoid of themes or subtext lol, quite the opposite.

Clay F

All four are good choices. I voted Alien. The Shining is a masterpiece -- a work of art. Sinners is excellent (and refreshing to have a 2025 movie). My personal ranking: 1. Alien 1. The Shining (tie) 3. Sinners 4. The Thing

Michael M

This is a channel that watches The Bear for like 3 views. I don't think their driving motivator has ever been to watch what will generate the most money. I think their #1 motivator is to enjoy good TV/movies. That's what makes this channel different and special vs the content factories out there.

Gangster Pikachu

I was referring to content that drives in-depth discussion, not just view count. Sinners would just so happen to do both.

Gangster Pikachu

@cosmotron I agree. I wasn't saying Alien is devoid of substance, just that I think Sinners has way more in comparison.

Sekraan

I think that people are underrating how much discussion The Shining can drive. This is a film that has a whole documentary about the billion different theories fans came up about it. In any case, I see potential for lots of discussion with any of these films. For the three that aren't Sinners, they have stood the test of time for a reason. I'm not worried about the duo running out of things to talk about for ANY of these films, so why not vote based on which you think they'd enjoy the most?

Sekraan

Counterpoint. If another horror watch is a long way off: 1) other movies may have been added to the recommendations by that point, and 2) Sinners will have lost some of its recency bias and other films might fare better in a poll + views.

Troglodyte

The Thing is a Christmas movie. There is snow in it. Fact.

My Toasty Toast

I don’t think anyone in their right mind would be suggesting that they watch any of the sequels outside of “Aliens”

Jeffrey Navia

omg if i vote for Alien there's a chance they'll watch Romulus in the future! i think they would LOVE andy & raine's relationship!

Brogan

the thing is so much fun, sad its gonna lose. then again, every other movie on there is also a great time XD

Max Carter

Oh man don't get me wrong all of these are great (Sinners a little overrated) but The Thing is basically a perfect movie imo and I think you two would actually enjoy it a lot with all the subtle character work going on in it despite being grossed out by the crazy practical effects

Alex Aguilera

I'm voting for Alien mainly because I don't want Sinners to win

Everlasting

Hello people, for some reason there are no collections here on their channel, so I cant find the list of reactions to life action movies. How can I find them?

Everlasting

Also, I cant find a schedule, like how often certain shows will be uploaded and on which days of the week

Shiera Seastar

omg can't believe movies are actually happening... voted for Sinners

Joseph Tierney

Sinners! If you’re doing Alien it’s a whole series which is recommended too

Erik D

This poll might need to be "corrected", if I may be so bold.

Robert Dirk H.

For the shows you can use the tags. Movies ate new. We only have Hereditary, Godfather and Spirited Away. Schedule is currently: Monday: Monster Tuesday: Andor Wednesday: Mad Men Thursday: Monster Friday: Bocchi The Rock Saturday: Mad Men

Brakthir

Jesus Christ get a grip

Brakthir

Uh, no lol. You don't need to watch anything past Aliens

Michael M

Alien and Aliens are the only ones worth watching. Even though people liked Romulus, it's still not great in my opinion. It's just that it was ok and it was a huge improvement over the last dumpster fire films in the franchise.

Damien Fenton

Alien and Aliens are top tier but I think the quality nose dives thereafter. Alien 3 is especially bad for people invested in the character arcs of Aliens (no spoilers, but if you know, you know). I think the girls would absolutely HATE that.

Michael M

It's like the Alien 3 script writers had a thought experiment of "what's the fastest theoretical way we can get everyone to hate this beloved franchise?" and then they were like yes, perfect, let's do that.

Tami

Sinners is AMAZING.

Brakthir

Aliens 3 would be a great horror movie if it wasn't related to Aliens in any way.

Sam

Alien yes!!!!

Nur

Yall, please vote for sinners 😭

Mike

Sorry but the idea that Sinners is more discussion-worthy than Alien(?) or The Shining(??) is just bizarre to me. I know you are talking about the specific themes (i.e. race) but come on. Alien is not some paper-thin thrill ride.

flighhyer

Are you maybe going to dim the lights for the atmosphere of horror? Either way, gonna be fun!

Kaycee

Oop never seen any of these yall have fun though 😗. Heard sinners was good though

CHX2176

Any of this over The Thing is crazier

Gangster Pikachu

I never said it was. This is a prime example of why reading comprehension is so important.

Clay F

It's Alien. No "s". I say that because the sequel is Aliens.

Clay F

Alien and Aliens only.

Joseph Tierney

Agree with all of these replies but hijacking my own comment to suggest Barry which wasn’t even in the poll

Timothy Smith

Damn I was hoping Sinners would win, it's not really a horror movie but probably it's closest category. For this channel it would have been an excellent movie for them to react to based on the characters. Alien brand is so oversaturated right now it's hard to get excited even though it's a great movie too.

Jason

I voted for Weapons.

Jason

I highly doubt he’s actually Jesus Christ.

petitcorbeau

Lola already watched it I think I saw it in her letterbox

Michael M

Here's a way-too-early discussion: If they ever make it to the sequel Aliens, do they watch the theatrical release or the extended cut? I vote theatrical release as I think some of the added narratives in the extended cut aren't too polished.

Damien Fenton

No, I think the extended. It includes a deleted scene early in the movie that is very important for the arc the main character goes on (trying to be vague to avoid spoilers for who survives Alien, just in case). Even James Cameron said it should have been included in the movie but studio execs removed it.

BND

Sinners is so overrated.

Clay F

+1 for theatrical

JoloPolo

You may be right but why it's always have to be based on the potential of the discussion? There are movies/shows who doesn't impact so much for reactions but are excellent for discussions... This is the opposite, and what's the problem with that? Sometimes a fun/scary reaction of a movie is enough, you have all the others videos with long discussions
