Movie Reaction Poll

Robert Altman. YES!

Bob Short

Silence is a ridiculously powerful film.

I am just going to keep posting this every week here until it happens. Please give Robert Altman a chance... or Suspiria 1977. Not that they have anything to do with each other.

Yours truly, Johnny Dollar

Please add Unforgiven, Dances with Wolves, and Gravity

Randall Keizer

My preference is for 1. Death of Stalin (a very funny but dark film), 2. Amelie (a very funny but French film) and 3. The Handmaiden (a very sexy Korean film).

Brett Coster

hey now, we’re just tryna have a group cry with James

nick moose

Same

In the Mood for Love is such a beautiful film, but I’m not sure it’s the best film to react to, just due to the pacing. Criterion Collection just released Irma Vep with Maggie Cheung and I think James would love that film.

Minority report is a great movie. Of course its going to win. Unfair that its pitted up against in the mood for love which is a master in filmmaking or The King of Comedy which is one of Scorsese s underated gems

Marvelous Dolcy

lol me too

Minority Report is awesome Idk what you’re saying

Are you kidding? It’s way better than average. The story isn’t the most accurate adaptation of the novel but it’s still great

I'm dying, that The Handmaiden just keeps missing the mark week after week.

Timo Alho

I’ve given up hope that “The Hunt” will ever be chosen but I will continue to vote for it until it is no longer on the list!

Jeremy Lindstrom

In terms of action movies, I’d rather see something less obvious than “Minority Report.” How about “The Long Kiss Goodnight”?

Juley

My vote was for "Death of Stalin". I was thinking that there are a few off the wall movies to consider; David Lynch's "Wild at Heart", "A Simple Plan", "Kalifornia" and "Miller's Crossing".

Oh man, I am so happily surprised how well Death of Stalin is doing! Maybe one day we will get it across the finish line.

Nick Parker

It is really good but I have to imagine it went under a lot of people radar

Nick Parker

I've only seen his short film Foutaises but it was dank af.

kimsmk

did you watch many of these movies in the poll before and dislike them?

kimsmk

Ugh Minority Report average at best Philip K Dick adaptation. Any Jean-Pierre Juenet film is highly recommended for a budding filmmaker.

Death of Stalin and Minority Report are great choices. Weirdly I was talking to my dad today about that [DoS], didn't know he'd watched it out of my collection. If you liked that you should totally watch In The Loop, and frankly the TV series Succession...

Martin Nicholls

Amelie is a good film along with all of Jean-Pierre Jeunet films, but my favorite is Delicatessen from 1991

Matt

Come on guys there’s better choices here than minority report!

Silence is a powerful movie. Fingers cossed.

Adaptation is amazing.

I really enjoyed Amelie, the film does whimsical really well. But In the Mood for Love is so beautiful to look at as well.

Sonia Deepak

Would be great if you'd give the 'The Fugitive' a chance, fantastic Action Thriller

Jack Ryan

Meh, how about Kentucky Fried Movie?

probably not winning again, but just a rec to anyone who’s a fan of films about yearning like Her, Portrait of a Lady on Fire or Lost in Translation, In the Mood for Love is right up there with the best

nick moose

fun fact, Tarantino started crying for no reason other than he was “just so happy to love a movie this much” watching Chungking Express

nick moose

Gone for minority report not my favourite list. Ever considered classics like Deliverance, Apocalypse Now, Watership Down or Full Metal Jacket

Adaptation is a must watch. It’s not Harold and Maude but it’s a great movie.

Randall Bott

I liked it when I saw it, but had no interest in seeing it again.

Brittyn Lindsey

We need to make Adaptation happen. Minority Report is cool and all but it’s a pretty standard action flick with nothing spectacular going on from a film-making perspective. Don’t get me wrong, it’s good...it’s just way more “Hollywood.” It always seems like the silent majority wins these polls and the people in the comments are passionate about the other films that ultimately end up losing. Reminds me of a presidential election.

Giving other movies a chance.

James Adams

The two Popes is a great movie, has it's funny moments as well

I've noticed Ghost Dog no longer appears on these lists. What up with that?

H Blackwell

Amelie is one of the greatest films you'll ever see, unfortunately it has subtitles so the majority of the American audience put it to one side as a consequence 👍🏻

Nick Sneddon

In regards to In the Mood for Love, we need a whole Wong Kar Wai poll! I recently picked up the new collection, and am blown away by all of his films

Jordan Porter

Adaptation is a must-see for any filmmaker!

harpyangel47

Oh man. As a Dane I simply must vote for The Hunt. One of my favourite movies of all time.

Vraith

Minority Report is so awesome. Spielberg Sci-Fi with Tom Cruise
