2025-10-12 23:37:25 +0000 UTCShoulda been Spotlight...the timing of these polls is not good for my life schedule.
AEnimaExists
2025-10-12 23:34:00 +0000 UTCHere's hoping the near-tie gets Spotlight in the queue sooner rather than later. It is a fantastic movie, and as others have said, it's right up George's alley of people doing what they're good at, very well.

2025-10-10 12:22:27 +0000 UTCI was really hoping for "The Perks of being a Wallflower" staring Hermione Granger after she left Hogwarts, and The Flash before his career ran head-first into a wall. 😆
Lachlan Caldwell
2025-10-10 05:04:33 +0000 UTCExcited that Boyz N The Hood won. I took an elective course in college called “City in Literature” and did my finals thesis on this movie. I ended up getting an A on it even though I was high as f*** when I wrote it and attempted to hypothesize that Doughboy was a tainted Christ figure. Liberal arts courses :).

2025-10-09 19:51:31 +0000 UTCSideways is really good. Also, one of my favorite performances by Giamatti.

2025-10-09 14:05:49 +0000 UTCIt didn't tie, but it's so close. Hopefully they do both.

2025-10-08 17:55:18 +0000 UTCAny interest in doing the second Hunger Games move, Catching Fire? It's soooo much better than the first one.

2025-10-08 13:06:33 +0000 UTCI wonder if what George is remembering is Dave Gorman, British documentary comedian. His miniseries, "Are You Dave Gorman?" is amazing and really funny: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_K5je-5omQ

2025-10-08 02:14:36 +0000 UTCWe might be heading in for a tie with Boyz N The Hood and Spotlight. What will happen if that happens?

2025-10-07 22:26:24 +0000 UTCI was wondering Adam Sandler movie? Then remember Reign Over Me. It won't win, but I really liked that movie.

2025-10-07 20:58:55 +0000 UTCSpotlight is ahead? Stop the count! /jk mostly
Greg Johanson
2025-10-07 20:09:01 +0000 UTCLast time there was a virtual tie gangs of New York and Superman were both put up in short order. So fingers crossed because I adore spotlight but Boyz is a good winner so I can’t be that mad
Greg Johanson
2025-10-07 15:03:37 +0000 UTCAbsolutely insane he didn’t get a Best Actor nomination, despite the film getting into Picture, Director, Adapted Screenplay (which it won), supporting actor and supporting actress. He must have been so so close to getting in but was probably knocked out by one of the fringe nominees. He’s incredible in Sideways. So heartbreaking but sympathetic.
paul rai
2025-10-07 14:50:36 +0000 UTCIncredibly close race between Spotlight and Boyz N the Hood. As of 10:45 am EST, it’s a difference of 7 votes, with Boyz in the lead (I remember the day prior Spotlight was heavily out front), which is amazing for two equally phenomenal films. I hope both films win get watched, as well as these other picks because they’re great. I know George is gonna love the competence porn of people being great at their jobs in Spotlight.
paul rai
2025-10-07 14:48:28 +0000 UTCNeeds to give Spotlight a push! It needs to win, such an amazing film.
Matthew Abbott
2025-10-07 14:35:47 +0000 UTCIt’s good, but it’s up against Spotlight, so I simply can’t vote for it.
Matthew Abbott
2025-10-07 14:34:39 +0000 UTCI see an Adam Sandler movie I vote for it.
802jay
2025-10-07 11:49:48 +0000 UTCWow this is a close one. I love Boyz n the Hood a lot but Spotlight is such a phenomenal and important movie and I've been wanting to see their reaction to it for years so definitely has my vote this time.
Max Carter
2025-10-07 10:42:00 +0000 UTCParis Texas is one of my favourites! A must watch!
Cincassette
2025-10-07 10:15:34 +0000 UTCSideways. A little, forgotten gem. I feel Spotlight is overrated. Oh well...
Jimmy Jackson
2025-10-07 09:49:43 +0000 UTCIt doing really well. It looks like it has a good chance to come in second, which means we would get it fairly soon. Fingers crossed!
China Andronicus
2025-10-07 09:47:47 +0000 UTCSad that Sideways isn't doing better. Paul Giamatti is superb in it. Career best from all the cast.
Bruce Liddle
2025-10-07 08:37:57 +0000 UTCMore love for“ „Spotlight“, please. I‘ve been waiting eons for my favorite journalism-movie to make an appearance @CineBinge.

2025-10-07 07:20:01 +0000 UTCIMO theres a couple more they should watch before Menace
Dustin Duvall
2025-10-07 06:01:56 +0000 UTCFinally, Spotlight is in a poll! I saw it with a friend who made me go with him when it was nominated for best picture. I had no idea what it was about and was blown away by how good it was. Great actors, important topic.
Allboroking
2025-10-07 04:20:59 +0000 UTCFor a future Dramatics poll, I recommend Quiz Show (1994)—R.I.P. Robert Redford—and Big Night (1996).

2025-10-07 03:14:39 +0000 UTCI gotta go with, "Reign Over Me" It's rare that you get Adam Sandler in a drama.

2025-10-07 03:12:15 +0000 UTCBOYZ 'N' THE HOOD!! I'm not gonna lie, I watched it for the first time last year, but I was so impressed by the story, the actors, and the authenticity and artistry that went into it.

2025-10-06 23:49:32 +0000 UTCReign Over Me is an underrated film. Adam Sandlers best performance imo. Oscar worthy.

2025-10-06 23:02:20 +0000 UTCRequests for your consideration: End of Q check in. Out of the 22 films I saw at the theater in 3Q 2025 these are the ones I"d most like to see a reaction to - M3GAN 2.0 (Note: Obviously you need to watch the first one prior to this) - Daniela Forever - Oh, Hi! - The Naked Gun - Together - Weapons - Splitsville - A Little Prayer - Relay - The Conjuring: Last Rites (Note: Obviously you need to catch way up on the Conjuring Universe first) - Griffin In Summer - The Long Walk - One Battle After Another - Eleanor The Great That is 14 of the 22...I'm a pretty easy critic and I just love films!
Bella Blue
2025-10-06 22:54:37 +0000 UTCAll excellent films...about 4 I'd love a reaction to... I personally voted for Sideways

2025-10-06 22:32:48 +0000 UTCI had no interest in seeing Spotlight until it won Best Picture. I've since watched it 6-7 times. A remarkably good film.

2025-10-06 20:23:44 +0000 UTCI agree that Reign Over Me is a tier below, but still underrated IMO.
Paul Peavler
2025-10-06 20:14:35 +0000 UTC*cries in my favorite movie not winning the poll* When we put two of my all time favorite movies in a poll again (Perks of Being a Wallflower, Sideways), can we avoid pairing them with juggernauts like Spotlight, Boyz'n the Hood, and the Wrestler please? These are all such iconic movies and deserved to be watched! Also, best Adam Sandler dramas are Uncut Gems and Punch Drunk Love. Reign Over Me is in a tier below, I'd say. I can't make any recommendations this week because two of mine are already in the poll! Cheers and thanks to all you do!

Chris Kelley
2025-10-06 17:52:58 +0000 UTCI’m just curious how many of you have seen the movies from 1991. I assume I’m one of the older people here and I haven’t seen either of them in more than 30 years. Both good movies.

2025-10-06 17:28:44 +0000 UTCAre we only having one horror movie for October? Was Conjuring 2 it? That's sad. Don't like watching movies like "Boyz 'n' the Hood because it perpetuates negative stereotypes. They (the film makers) intentionally didn't even spell half the title correct... Voted for The Perks of Being a Wallflower.

John_rd
2025-10-06 15:55:11 +0000 UTCAah, The Wrestler is a very good one. You may have heard this when you did Black Swan, but it can be good to consider these two as a sequence. Not a series, they're unrelated movies, but together they form something like a thesis. We don't see that a lot in movies, not the kind with a budget anyway, so it's nice. I always like when people try to do something different.
Amelie W
2025-10-06 15:53:29 +0000 UTCAs far as dramas go, please check out the collaborations between David Cronenberg and Viggo Mortensen. A History of Violence (2005) and Eastern Promises (2007) feature career-best work from Viggo. A Dangerous Method (2011), a psychological drama about Freud and Jung, and Crimes of the Future (2022), a return to body horror, aren’t as essential but are certainly worth a look.
Seth
2025-10-06 15:52:41 +0000 UTCVoting for Spotlight, it looks right up my alley. The only one I’ve seen is Sideways, which I’d love to see a reaction to. But there’s nothing there that I don’t want to see.

2025-10-06 14:14:24 +0000 UTCI don't think "Fried Green Tomatoes" has any chance of winning, which is TRAGIC because it is brilliant and I don't think I've ever seen it 'break out' like some of these other films. Even if it doesn't win, ya'll should watch it on your own time anyway.

2025-10-06 13:06:02 +0000 UTCI saw One Battle After Another, this weekend. Totally deserving of the hype. Gotta add that one to the queue.

2025-10-06 13:05:51 +0000 UTCSpotlight is currently winning. I anticipate lots of "oh my god. Oh my God! OH MY FUCKING GOD!" next week.
I cant say that name out loud. That's horrible!
2025-10-06 13:04:20 +0000 UTCReign over me won't win, but it's a really good movie showing Sandler's acting chops.

2025-10-06 12:57:42 +0000 UTCReign over me is another Sandler movie that shows his serious side. Hankies required 😭

2025-10-06 12:56:24 +0000 UTCSpotlight is a superb movie. Tough subject matter, but dealt with outstandingly well. Great cast, and great performances.

2025-10-06 12:47:30 +0000 UTCSpotlight will definitely fit George’s love of competence porn. Incredible Michael Keaton performance.
Jacob King
2025-10-06 12:47:07 +0000 UTCAlways makes me a little sad that Fried Green Tomatoes does so poorly in the polls. But I'm gonna keep voting for it even if it takes a decade.
Jeffrey Mitchell
2025-10-06 12:46:03 +0000 UTCReign Over Me is the choice for me.
FranciscoGios
2025-10-06 12:45:52 +0000 UTCPlease consider those for the next poll And the Justice for All (1979) What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962)

2025-10-06 12:45:40 +0000 UTCFried Green Tomatoes is great. Highly recommend. I would say it has a similar vibe.
Jeffrey Mitchell
2025-10-06 12:42:51 +0000 UTCNot at the moment...
beefjerkywizard
2025-10-06 12:38:49 +0000 UTCLet’s go Boyz N The Hood and The Wrestler! And an overall really good list. All winners here
Jaime Medina
2025-10-06 12:37:42 +0000 UTCToo many great choices. What a happy dilemma. 😀

2025-10-06 12:33:55 +0000 UTCSandler in Reign is one of my favorites.
Christopher Carson
2025-10-06 12:33:54 +0000 UTCIn addition to Boyz, I'd also recommend checking out Menace II Society... and while we're at it, sticking with Larenz Tate (he's in Menace, not Boyz), I'd recommend the movie Dead Presidents, too.
Jeff K
2025-10-06 12:33:03 +0000 UTCBoth front-runners are worth it, great picks.
Philipp Roensch
2025-10-06 12:32:02 +0000 UTCTough choice for me between Sideways, Spotlight, and The Wrestler. Fried Green Tomatoes I think is a wonderful film that will always make me think of my mom. Really there's no bad choices here.
Jpsynergy
2025-10-06 12:32:01 +0000 UTCGood list. Spotlight is amazing! A few more Drama/Thriller suggestions: - The machinist - Panic room - One hour photo - Identity - The secret life of Walter Mitty - 127 hours - Nightwatch (1997) - Jarhead - Lucky number Slevin - Smokin' Aces

2025-10-06 12:30:42 +0000 UTCIs anyone else having issues getting onto Cinebingers.ca?
TheLeftPecOfTheLord
2025-10-06 12:30:16 +0000 UTCWanted to watch Spotlight again anyway. Hope it gets top 2.
Friedrich Schulze
2025-10-06 12:29:59 +0000 UTCI got my way with Grosse Pointe Blank last week, I guess it was too much to ask that my personal favorite choice this week (Sideways) takes it as well. 😅 Great choices, though. The only one I haven't seen on this list is Fried Green Tomatoes. Can anyone tell me if it's anything like 'Beaches' or 'Steel Magnolias'? It's giving me those vibes.
Brandon
2025-10-06 12:24:51 +0000 UTCSideways is my favourite film it’s great to see it in a poll spotlight would also be a good choice

2025-10-06 12:17:37 +0000 UTCSame here
Jack
2025-10-06 12:16:38 +0000 UTCSpotlight for me. Only film I've seen that left an entire cinema audience in stunned silence as the credits started rolling and the lights were turned back on.
Spacedone
2025-10-06 12:16:12 +0000 UTCSpotlight is incredibly good but just be sure to prepare yourselves for the subject matter.
JayF
2025-10-06 12:15:08 +0000 UTCSpotlight is one of the best films ever made.
Matthew Abbott
2025-10-06 12:14:49 +0000 UTCSo many incredible choices. I want them all to win! I will say, if you want a great dramatic Adam Sandler film, put Punch-Drunk Love on a future poll. It’s by PT Anderson (Boogie Nights, There Will Be Blood), and it’s one of his best performances, I like Reign Over Me a lot, too! Anytime Sandler delves into a dramatic role, he crushes it in spades.
paul rai
2025-10-06 12:13:33 +0000 UTCMerlot sales funnily enough tanked post-release of “Sideways” worldwide for a brief spell. Was in wine marketing at the time down here in Aus as it happened and was always tickled by having to explain a movie was responsible for its dip in preference to producers at the time 😂
JakeyShakeyBakeyBoy
2025-10-06 12:12:13 +0000 UTCYES please let Spotlight win this time. The subject matter is about as tough as it gets although there's thankfully nothing graphic depicted visually. It is however a perfectly made film from top to bottom in my opinion, the writing, perfomances and score are spot on and I think it's an important watch for everyone.
Max Carter
2025-10-06 12:10:37 +0000 UTCFrom the Sideways director: Election (1999), a highly entertaining movie

2025-10-06 12:10:31 +0000 UTCSpotlight and Sideways got my votes.
jmundt33a
2025-10-06 12:10:11 +0000 UTCGlad to see Spotlight on here and I hope it wins. Also, in that vein, think about adding "The Post", "All The President's Men", and "Dark Waters" to a future poll. Also please please please think about adding "Into The Wild" (2007) to a future dramatic poll as well. Thank you.
Thomas Cunningham
2025-10-06 12:07:48 +0000 UTCThe Wrestler and Spotlight got my votes
Victor Fiegel
2025-10-06 12:07:34 +0000 UTCNo one ever reacts to Sideways. Lots of great ones here, but Sideways gets the vote.
Lyle Morgan
2025-10-06 12:07:24 +0000 UTCOh goodness, some great movies on this list. The Wrestler is brilliant and one I've suggested. I don't always thumbs up Perks, but its got unusual depth for a coming of age story. And I consider Reign Over me to be Sandler's best dramatic effort.

2025-10-06 12:07:10 +0000 UTCAnd wait until they find out that the guy who wrote (and won an Oscar for the screenplay) and directed it is the guy who played Scott Templeton, the bullshit journalist who made everythign up, in season five of The Wire.
Jeff K
2025-10-06 12:06:30 +0000 UTCAs challenging as it is to do so, I’ve seen Spotlight a few times. It’s a great movie with some absolutely outstanding performances.

2025-10-06 12:06:14 +0000 UTCI'm not sure I've ever hit a poll option faster in my life than I did for Spotlight. An incredible movie.

2025-10-06 12:04:57 +0000 UTCSideways is my favorite film, so definitely voting for that one.
John Briggs
2025-10-06 12:04:45 +0000 UTCI’m super goin for Boyz in the Hood. Ice Cube’s first film, it’s the film that made wanna make Friday as a funny comedy to show the hood ain’t all bad and sad, it’s a must watch.
Tony2Dirty
2025-10-06 12:04:24 +0000 UTCi never see anyone react to wallflower its such a looked over movie

2025-10-06 12:04:04 +0000 UTCI haven’t see most of them. Maybe I’ll watch them with you
Jean-Dominic Lapointe
2025-10-06 12:03:49 +0000 UTCI adore Fried Green Tomatoes but Spotlight is phenomenal. It’s so well done, and the story that it’s telling is so important.
Ali D
2025-10-06 12:03:34 +0000 UTCBoyz N The Hood is a legendary film - really hope it wins
Harry Fieldson
2025-10-06 12:02:39 +0000 UTCThe secret’s in the sauce!
Tim Hibbard
2025-10-06 12:02:17 +0000 UTCBoyz N The Hood and Spotlight are two absolutely essential viewings, hoping for either, and always love more dramatic Sandler with Reign Over Me
TheLeftPecOfTheLord
2025-10-06 12:01:48 +0000 UTCGotta go for “Sideways” because not only is it tied for my favourite movie ever alongside LOTR - it has one of its scenes as this guy’s profile picture haha. “Reign Over Me” and “Spotlight” are stellar also! Great list dudes!
JakeyShakeyBakeyBoy
2025-10-06 12:01:32 +0000 UTCReally hoping for Boyz. Such an amazing movie. (My second choice is Sideways, but I am NOT drinking any fuckin' Merlot.)
