Sad to see The Insider continuing to lag on these polls. Someday...

2023-10-01 23:42:50 +0000 UTCAnother amazing drama is The Piano - not to be confused with The Pianist. Holly Hunter, Sam Neill, Harvey Keitel.
Neal Romanek
2023-09-27 16:23:45 +0000 UTCYeah, lots of really good movies on this poll, but The Pianist is probably the best.

2023-09-26 20:46:45 +0000 UTCyep i would recommend subtitles also!

2023-09-26 20:41:26 +0000 UTCThey’ll need subtitles. I tried to watch it and could barely understand half of what they’re saying. Glaswegian accent, I think.
Catherine LW
2023-09-26 20:41:21 +0000 UTCThe Pianist is the best and most underrated movie on this poll. You guys must watch this. A true story
James
2023-09-26 13:33:07 +0000 UTCSad that The Pianist is losing. Among the best on the list.
Catherine LW
2023-09-25 21:56:57 +0000 UTCThe outsiders holds a special place in my heart cause it takes place and was filmed where I live. It’s also a movie that launched a bunch of huge careers
JoshG
2023-09-25 11:56:05 +0000 UTCMan, TRAINSPOTTING is the best. That said, it might mess up Sam a little.

2023-09-25 07:26:24 +0000 UTCTrainspotting is a masterpiece.
esclad
2023-09-25 00:44:43 +0000 UTCSeveral good ones here that I would be happy with. Don’t remember if you’ve done it in the past, but continuing to draw from some of these lists in the future would be great. No need in letting all but one strongly voted for title fall by the wayside.

2023-09-24 20:02:32 +0000 UTCMy vote's for Mystic River. I saw it once, 20 years ago when it came out. It was great, but boy was it a tough watch. I think I'm finally ready to see it again. I think.

2023-09-24 10:43:36 +0000 UTCThere are few films I despise more than Trainspotting
Odd Thomas
2023-09-24 09:21:46 +0000 UTCCity of God being in last place is sort of depressing(and surprising since its #26 on imdb's top 250, which is generally a pretty mainstream sort of list imo).
Birdie Num Num
2023-09-24 06:43:05 +0000 UTCMystic River and Beeing John Malkovich !!! For the next Drama Poll I recommend "Kramer vs Kramer" with Dustin Hoffman and Meryl Streep !!! Both become an Oscar !!! Also i recommend "Marathon Man" from 1976 with Dustin Hoffman and "Papillon" from 1973 With Dustin Hoffman and Steve Mcqueen and "Five Easy Pieces" from 1970 with Jack Nicholson

2023-09-24 05:34:47 +0000 UTCHad to go for trainspotting because I've never seen it and my brother is always in shock I've never seen it so if it wins I will finally get around to it 👍
Ian
2023-09-24 05:33:09 +0000 UTCMystic River by far. If anyone hasn’t seen it, you need to.
James Whalen
2023-09-24 04:11:09 +0000 UTCYeah, it doesn't look like it's streaming anywhere currently. And The French Connection is now apparently difficult to find streaming in its non-censored version.
Brad P
2023-09-24 03:10:26 +0000 UTCI have only seen To Live and Die reacted to once and that was by special request by myself lol. Apparently it is very difficult to find streaming.
Mark M
2023-09-24 03:05:06 +0000 UTCI voted for just about everything on this poll lol I wasn't particularly helpful. Good choices.
PIG
2023-09-24 02:56:08 +0000 UTCWhile they can just as easily be classified as action/thriller films as they can drama, I highly recommend the late William Friedkin's films The French Connection, Sorcerer and To Live and Die in L.A.
Brad P
2023-09-24 02:21:18 +0000 UTCI voted American Beauty. It's the perfect example of a pre-9/11 film. Good movie.
Mike the Ginger
2023-09-24 01:41:07 +0000 UTCThe Insider is based on a true story, thus a little scary...
Will D
2023-09-24 01:33:42 +0000 UTCvery few pre 90s films seem to make the polls. so maybe consider these: Barry Lyndon, Dog Day Afternoon, Nashville, The Conversation, Deliverance, Last Picture Show, Cool Hand Luke, In the Heat of the Night, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Graduate
Birdie Num Num
2023-09-24 00:26:26 +0000 UTCThe Insider is a Michael Mann masterpiece. Mystic River also one of my faves.
Jonathan Patrick
2023-09-24 00:11:33 +0000 UTCCrowe basically won the Oscar for Gladiator for his performance in The Insider - he is good in Gladiator but he was next level in The Insider.
Jason Dolan
2023-09-23 23:33:32 +0000 UTCRussell Crowe gives an outstanding performance along with Pacino and Plummer
Brian Sevilla
2023-09-23 23:29:28 +0000 UTCThese are great films to choose from. Would love to see “The Mission” added to the bunch in the future.
Patrick Clemens
2023-09-23 23:26:36 +0000 UTCRight? I don't know why any Michael Mann film wouldn't be an automatic yes vote for everyone.
Paul Cox
2023-09-23 23:18:21 +0000 UTCSam: so glad to hear--I have recommended that film for a long while, its a fantastic Holiday film. My family used to watch it together every Thanksgiving weekend!!
Chris Bruneau
2023-09-23 23:12:30 +0000 UTCMan, this is a tough list--there are NO bad films on it! I personally love Mystic river and American Beauty
Chris Bruneau
2023-09-23 23:10:46 +0000 UTCAs far as a suggestion this is more of a crime/drama, I've suggested this before idk if its on your list or not lol it's "Carlitos Way" Al Pacino, it's in the same vein as Scarface/Goodfellas/ A Bronx tale, I know y'all would enjoy it maybe sometime in the future 🙏😊
dieselbeast
2023-09-23 23:06:07 +0000 UTCHas to be Trainspotting, prolly the best British film of the 90s. The Insider is also a film that flies under the radar a lot, it's fantastic
Nick Sneddon
2023-09-23 23:01:33 +0000 UTCDonnie Darko is one of the best films ever made but I will admit, there is no way it can be reacted to in one video. It would take several videos to react to properly. It is a true masterpiece ❤️
Edward Reaney
2023-09-23 22:57:34 +0000 UTCThanks, Sam. "A River Runs Through It" and "Kramer vs. Kramer" (1979) are two legendary family dramas, especially for young families.

TBR Schmitt
2023-09-23 22:53:04 +0000 UTCOh yes! Definitely on our list! -Sam
TBR Schmitt
2023-09-23 22:52:15 +0000 UTCI recommend adding "Scent of A Woman" (1992) for Autumnal season and "A River Runs Through It" (1992)
Erwin Quiachon
2023-09-23 22:46:22 +0000 UTCMystic River is one of Clint Eastwood's best directed films. One of my favorites growing up.
kbobravo
2023-09-23 22:41:21 +0000 UTCThe Insider is so good
Jason Dolan
2023-09-23 22:40:06 +0000 UTCAnything except American Beauty.
Robert Boyd
2023-09-23 22:38:11 +0000 UTCAmerican Beauty and Being John Malkovich are such great movies. Hope one of those win 😁
Lee Brennan
2023-09-23 22:36:21 +0000 UTCBeing John Malkovich is crazy and fantastic
Tostito Buddy
2023-09-23 22:33:12 +0000 UTCOh you got a tough one here, they're all good movies! The Insider is the only one I'm not familiar with.
Joe D. MacGuffinstuff
2023-09-23 22:31:47 +0000 UTCOh cool, nobody reacts to The Outsiders. Make sure to watch the uncut version 👌

2023-09-23 22:31:25 +0000 UTCBeen asking for the pianist for a while. lol Definitely voting for that again!!
Forrest
2023-09-23 22:28:58 +0000 UTCProb already on your radar / queue, but "Uncut Gems" is an excellent drama. A serious Adam Sandler role.

2023-09-23 22:28:22 +0000 UTCWether outsiders wins or not good lord the cast is a who's who of actors before they became who they would become 🙏
dieselbeast
2023-09-23 22:26:40 +0000 UTCA lot of these are excellent, but Trainspotting is the standout for me.
