2023-10-25 03:11:38 +0000 UTCDefinitely agreed on Twelve and Thirteen I found Eight to be kinda meh but I can agree they should see it themselves and form their own opinions

2023-10-24 20:34:11 +0000 UTCA lot of great flicks here. I might have to go with CARLITO'S WAY. Never saw that prequel movie they made though.

Chris Bruneau
2023-10-24 00:35:39 +0000 UTCIf you do Ocean’s 11 you have to make the commitment to do 12, 13, and yes even 8. 😏

2023-10-23 23:21:07 +0000 UTCI love it when you guys watch pre-1980 films. In the crime genre, an underrated gem is Dustin Hoffman's "Straight Time" from 1978. It's based on a novel by real life career criminal Eddie Bunker (Mr. Blue from Reservoir Dogs). It is a fantastic character study.

2023-10-23 13:02:31 +0000 UTCAnother movie that doesn't get enough love because it's an arthouse release and predates much of the audience is King of New York with Christopher Walken

2023-10-23 10:43:23 +0000 UTCgood flick, but i'm having a hard time finding it on streaming services
Smooticus
2023-10-23 10:40:11 +0000 UTCLove Inside Man
Smooticus
2023-10-23 10:33:26 +0000 UTCI wonder if oceans eleven is winning simply because it's the mostly "known/mainstream" movie, any movie with Al Pacino beats any other movie regardless of anything lol in my opinion, if Carlitos Way is ever reacted to one day....then it will be known why 🙏😊

2023-10-23 06:22:41 +0000 UTCSexy Beast (2000), with Ray Winstone, who was in The Departed, and Ben Kingsley, who played Ghandi and was in Schindler’s List. You won’t look at Ben Kingsley the same way again.
Samolina Pilchard
2023-10-23 04:37:14 +0000 UTC"The Taking of Pelham 123" is terrific, and, in a happy circumstance, was just as good in its 2009 remake as in the original. But you should really watch both versions!

2023-10-23 00:58:28 +0000 UTCDonnie Brasco! Pacino and Johnny Depp!
Ellie Miller
2023-10-22 19:05:16 +0000 UTCCarlito's Way(Pacino), Ronin(De Niro) and Inside Man(Denzel)!!!! Blood In, Blood Out deserves an honorable mention!!!!
Joe Lazarus
2023-10-22 16:46:31 +0000 UTCCarlito's Way is excellent, and stars Pacino, who I know guys love!
Chris Bruneau
2023-10-22 16:22:53 +0000 UTCDefinitely a solid film
Jeffrey Miller
2023-10-22 13:33:20 +0000 UTCBoth solid recommendations
Jeffrey Miller
2023-10-22 13:32:51 +0000 UTCBlood in Blood Out and Carlitos Way huge recommends
Steven hidalgo
2023-10-22 12:39:53 +0000 UTCBlood in Blood Out is the best film on here. Masterpiece
Jonathan Patrick
2023-10-22 12:28:12 +0000 UTCI recommend adding Smokin' Aces (2006) if you haven't seen it yet.
Eric
2023-10-22 12:04:58 +0000 UTCOnce again so many good selections it's hard to choose just one
Smooticus
2023-10-22 09:19:02 +0000 UTCIt won't win but I'm glad at least blood in blood out is on your radar, definitely worth a reaction someday, but had to go with carlitos way 🙏

2023-10-22 09:08:44 +0000 UTCJust laying this out there. I know opinions vary, but I personally think Crash is one of my favorite films. I see some hate for it here already, but the way it hits me, is as a serious emotional gut-punch. It's one of the most human films I've ever seen, the acting and cast is top-notch, the writing is great, and Mark Isham's Score is one of the most unique and heart-wrenching scores I've experienced. As a film composer myself, and someone who admittedly loves a strong emotional arc to a film, this one is exceptional. It probably won't win this poll, but keep it around, and if it can fit into any other category, maybe try it there. You'd probably have to get through a lot of other action-packed bullet-spraying to ever get it voted for in a crime poll. All that said, you do have some other great films in this poll, and I totally understand people's want of them.

2023-10-22 08:01:14 +0000 UTCI've been waiting for a reaction for this one for a long time.
Eric J Watkins
2023-10-22 07:59:31 +0000 UTCA lot of good movies on this list. It's a shame Blood In, Blood Out isn't getting a lot of votes. It's a classic and a really great movie.
Robin Cederholm
2023-10-22 07:18:34 +0000 UTCI voted for that for both reasons you did. Great list altogether though.
David Anderson
2023-10-22 07:04:17 +0000 UTCI rewatched that film recently and forgot how great it was. It was filmed in such a unique way.
Tim Raths
2023-10-22 05:51:51 +0000 UTCI highly recommend END OF WATCH! Phenomenal movie.
Justin
2023-10-22 05:41:21 +0000 UTCAnother couple in this category worth a watch Traffic(2000) Dead Presidents(1995)

2023-10-22 05:37:17 +0000 UTCThe worst! It's like an elementary school lesson on race and class.
Paul Cox
2023-10-22 05:18:35 +0000 UTCYou're gonna have to see Carlito's Way sooner or later. I'd vote for Crash, but I'd be watching it because it's so hilariously bad
Jeffrey Miller
2023-10-22 05:16:28 +0000 UTCCrash. I've never seen anyone react to it. Loved the editing in that movie.
Athos Count de la Fère
2023-10-22 05:13:06 +0000 UTCEven though I know it has zero chance of winning I'm still voting for crash , such a good movie difficult subject matter yes but how the movie all connects is so good , the cast is great also , noone ever reacts to it which is sad but anyways ocean's is a lot of fun so it's all good 👍
Ian
2023-10-22 05:10:24 +0000 UTCVoted Carlito's Way because eventually you'll have no choice but to watch Dog Day Afternoon if we get all the other big Pacino films out of the way lol. Voted Inside Man because more Spike Lee reactions need to be on youtube. Voted Pelham 1-2-3 because it RULES.
Paul Cox
2023-10-22 05:10:14 +0000 UTCThis is a really good list but I’ll put my money on Carlitos Way
Richard
2023-10-22 05:08:23 +0000 UTCRonin is so underrated
