Stalker! Get some Tarkovsky in your life. Then watch Annihilation as it took inspiration from Stalker

If you have not see it Dead Man's Shoes by Shane Meadow's is worth your time. 1) because i said i would try to get you to watch it in a youtube comment a few months ago and 2) it shows off Shane underappreciated (i feel) skill in making a movie. Tx

Would love your opinion on one of my favorites ,Millers Crossing

I’d like to suggest lovecraft county or the watchmen series please.

J.S.Leeds

Sorry. As a director, you might want to watch 'JFK' - 1991 Oliver Stone

Randall Keizer

Also, I nominate 'Network!' - 1977

Randall Keizer

Clint Eastwood - Unforgiven

Randall Keizer

The New RoboCop is actually very good. But the original is epic!

Randall Keizer

"Harold and Maude" - definitely! Like 12 Angry Men, this is an incredibly unassuming movie w/deep dives into our culture. It's dark and funny and touching. Like the other post-er I read above said, I hope you'll take the time to watch this movie someday, even if not this day.

Rhonda Turner

"Harold and Maude"... if you don't know, you don't know, so I guess it'll never win a poll. But it's one of the shining gems of the 70's, when directors had the independence to take on impossibly risky material, and Hal Ashby pulled off a funny, touching, Kubrickesque quirky masterpiece with this one. The cinematography and editing are as blow-away as the writing and acting. I truly hope James sees it some day.

Mark Kelso

Add Room to a future poll. No, not THE ROOM. lol. But the movie with Brie Larson. It's her best performance that won her an Oscar and such a heartfelt and intelligent film. As for a series, The Sinner. It's going 4 seasons strong. And they're not long seasons. Only 8 episodes per, but you'll be on edge during every episode, guarantee. It stars Bill Pullman and Jessica Biel (1st season) while Biel also executive produced the entire series. Very well thought out series. Excellent writing, top tier imo. And the acting is criminally underrated for a series.

Harold and Maude. Changed my life, but in a cute way.

Harold And Maude and Lost In Translation got my vote. I'd also want to suggest Robert Altman's Hollywood satire The Player.

Damian Christopher

I like that this poll is mostly made up of all the stuff we can't agree on. It would be great to have the next one be all the runner-ups so we can sort through some of the list. lol

Kaitlin

Come on, Black Dynamite! Let's go, Black Dynamite! (Also Harold and Maude!)

Kaitlin

Incendies will be your favorite watch of the year

Bryan

This used to by my catch phrase at the strip club.

Craig Gibson

I adore it too. Really, as someone stuck between the West and the East and ending up feeling like either is inadequate (tho East better), I loooooove it. But I also don't know how great a reaction film it is. It's really a gentle film about the feeling isolated and muddling. It's sort of about quietly resonating with you. Even Her or Royal Tenenbaums have moments where the meaning is concentrated (and therefore reactable). Lost in Translation just sort of swims beside you.

Pate

I'd ADORE Lost in Translation- but I don't think it'll ever win

Jessi

“The Life of Brian” and “Misery.” Definitely both.

Thomas Monk

Oh Yes! Yessss! Charles Laughton's only directed movie. Then we can all watch Do The Right Thing afterwards

Penultimate Tommy Wiseau

I’m curious; have a lot of people just never seen Primal Fear before or do they just not like it? I’m always shocked at the low votes here. In the 90s this movie was a big deal.

Brittyn Lindsey

So if LoB and Robo win, then that’s 2 Jesus stories back to back for next week.

Haye Zeus

More PTA goddamit! Need more PTA reactions with Licorice Pizza coming out soon!

Mitchy D

Damn Stalker is never gonna win bur glad to see it keeping on making an appearance. Love the side note for Robocop. (1987? ) lol. Great movies here. My vote is for Stalker. And Harold and Maud. Black Dynamite is a great comedy also

Marvelous Dolcy

DUNE

Eric Hutton

Looks like that will be another great week!

Paul Steffens

Every month or two James does a post just for patrons to make movie suggestions.

Yours truly, Johnny Dollar

@james is there a separate thread for suggestions? I have a few ideas but I don't want to bury them here.

Charles Allen

I'll buy that for a dollar!

Charles Allen

James I’d love to see you watch Welcome To The Dollhouse :)

kimsmk

Lost in Translation 🤞

Patrick

My God, Black Dynamite is an absolute must see! Vote that shit higher peep!!

H Blackwell

Ay don’t trip about it homie! Intentions were genuine so it’s always good to hear from ya. Cheers Terry, glad to have you!

James Adams

Hey James, I meant to post this comment on your Schindler's List reaction, but missed it so I'll just say it here: Can I recommend you add "Amistad" (1997) to a future poll? Similar to Schindler's List, it's Steven Spielberg tackling a dark period in human history, but it didn't receive the same level of acclaim. Personally I think it's very powerful and very underrated.

Richard Akhtar-Dobson

I apologise profusely for the duplicate request, I have only been a member of this particular Patreon group for a week or so and had not had the grey matter to think about looking at past videos; I was merely impressed with the most recent posts on YouTube that I decided Patreon would be a good choice. I thank you in advance for the content I shall surely enjoy 🙏🙌

Terry O'connor

Oh, well I suppose my night is set then!! I thank you truly for your response and look forward to your life of Brian reaction soon, or so it would seem at least haha 😂 👍🏼

Terry O'connor

I did actually! It's up on the channel.

James Adams

My one, strong suggestion would be “Master and Commander” a naval film based primarily on one ship of HM Royal Navy during the early 19th century I believe, great character progression and awesome classical score too; well worth a watch I’d say, in my own humble opinion of course

Terry O'connor

Yeah, definitely had to vote for that one. Criminally forgotten and/or reacted to.

Still cheering for Harold and Maude

Sonia Deepak

Lost in Translation is a great one...

Sabra Lee

Please add the 1979 movie Scum. The full film is on YouTube right now.

Hey! I’ve seen that one, but more than happy to give a proper video on it as a commentary next time!

James Adams

Yo James could you please add The Revenant starring DiCaprio to the next poll. Would be interesting hearing your opinions on it from a filmmaker perspective. I have some other recommendations as well but I don't wanna overwhelm lol, so I’ll save those for later

Emil Larsson

Please add Night of the Hunter to your next poll!

Brittyn Lindsey

I'm smiling in glee at continuously seeing Stalker on these polls. I do appreciate it a lot.

Penultimate Tommy Wiseau

I'd love to recommend the Evil Dead 2013 version if you haven't seen it already, considering you did the original films :)

I've seen it. One about facebook right? Looong ago though!

James Adams

Also lets go Incendies again haha

McLovin

Anyone know if James has seen The Social Network before he made the channel? Would love a reaction if not
