2023-03-08 06:09:54 +0000 UTCWow, those are all great movies. It would be cool to see your reaction to Yojimbo, because it's based on American Westerns and then it in turn became the basis for Sergio Leone's 'Man With No Name' westerns. The best movie on this list is Seven Samurai, so you better start there.

2023-02-10 15:02:49 +0000 UTCDon't ever watch City of God. I watched it once and the movie scared the crap out of me and not in the fun way like Jason or Michael Myers.

2023-02-05 18:20:41 +0000 UTCWatched Barry Lyndon (again) recently. Damn, but that movie has aged so well. Still the most beautifully shot movie I've ever seen

2023-02-03 20:04:29 +0000 UTCI couldn't decide between Old Boy and Seven Samurai, and chose Seven Samurai. haha

2023-02-02 05:39:57 +0000 UTC+1 for Brotherhood of the Wolf. Itβs in a class by itself.
David Wilkins
2023-02-02 03:00:02 +0000 UTCWould love to see Brotherhood of the Wolf on your next foreign poll

2023-02-01 20:40:23 +0000 UTCBelle De Jour is good
Ken Veader
2023-02-01 18:55:51 +0000 UTCWords will not express how happy I would be if you reacted to "Gojira", 1954 movie otherwise known in the States as Godzilla. I'd advise against the American version "Godzilla: King of the Monsters" as the movie loses something and becomes too exposition heavy. Also I you like it you could one day do a following viewing with "Return of Godzilla" from 1984. Would be a nice duo watch.

2023-01-30 22:16:07 +0000 UTCI remember Daniel saying that Saving Private Ryan was one of all time favorite movies. "A Very Long Engagement" (2004), also directed by Jeunet of "Amelie", has epic battle scenes set in WWI with a very strong love story.

2023-01-30 22:15:34 +0000 UTCWe gotta find a way to get Amadeus and Berry Lyndon reacted to, maybe a "Histocial" genre poll. There's a lot of movies that don't fit into the classical genre categories but are some of the greatest ever. Voted Seven Samurai because it's close with Oldboy (also great, and maybe a better reaction), however, considering you loved the spaghetti westerns so much, Yojimbo would be an excellent choice it would be interesting to see your reaction to the plot. Plus, it's an amazing performance by Toshiro Mifune who is also is Seven Samurai. if the poll wasn't so close, i'd vote Amelie, it's not like anything you've seen on the channel yet and it's one of my favorites. Super charming and funny. Plus the director's other movies he co-directed with Cano are great too. Delicatessen and City of lost children

2023-01-30 21:40:50 +0000 UTCIf you start binging on Kurosawa, my favorite is "Throne of Blood" (1957). It's the samurai version of Macbeth. Coppola credits one scene from Throne of Blood as the inspiration for how he filmed the death of Sonny Corleone. You'll know which scene it is if you ever watch it. The whole movie is under two hours and moves faster than Kurosawa's other films.
Erwin Quiachon
2023-01-30 21:12:00 +0000 UTCThe Sea Inside (2004) with Javier Bardem would be great for a reaction
Will Zamora
2023-01-30 20:47:40 +0000 UTCOut of this list, Seven Samurai and Yojimbo are the best by far. The other films on this poll pale in comparison.

2023-01-30 19:41:18 +0000 UTCHandmaiden was WILD!! Need to check out your other suggestions--haven't heard of them before.
Elisa Pfau
2023-01-30 19:23:00 +0000 UTCHere's some more recommendation's for any upcoming Foreign Film Poll. Burning (2018), Chunking Express (1994), Handmaiden (2016), High & Low (1963), Incendies (2010), A Prophet (2009), Shoplifters (2018), The Vanishing (1988) & I Saw the Devil (2010). All are fantastic films and would probably be great reaction videos.
Ryan Williams
2023-01-30 17:33:29 +0000 UTCEither of the Kurosawa films would be an excellent choice, especially since you've seen Eastwood's versions of them. But some dark-horse candidates might be "Belle de Jour" (1967), "Persona" (1966), and "Diva"(1981.) "Diva" is my favorite, a perfect example of French New Wave, and is funny, suspenseful, and features a really clever plot.
William 1611
2023-01-30 15:53:25 +0000 UTCIf you're going to watch Kurosawa, treat yourself to some Bergman, too. They were brothers from other mothers. I'd recommend "Seventh Seal" (1957), "Smiles Of A Summer Night" (1955), and "Fanny and Alexander" (1982).

2023-01-30 15:07:30 +0000 UTCCity of God simply cannot be missed. That film has no competition.
Elisa Pfau
2023-01-30 14:38:37 +0000 UTCCity of God is criminally underrated. Seven Samurai deserves its flowers but hoping you give it a chance, too.

2023-01-30 14:19:43 +0000 UTCJust plan to watch all of these

James
2023-01-30 13:11:40 +0000 UTCAaaaaahhh! Seven Samurai!! Once again I voted for several on this list, but really hoping that one wins this go around. A Japanese director heavily influenced by American Westerns makes a movie that influences Westerns. Magnificent Seven, Fistful of Dollars, and For a Few Dollars More, are all remakes of Kurosawa films.
Smooticus
2023-01-30 12:00:01 +0000 UTCI strongly recommend that if you're going to watch Yojimbo, which is great, you follow it up with its sequel, Sanjuro, which might be even better.
Ron Moses
2023-01-30 10:40:28 +0000 UTCPlease include Cinema Paradiso next time
Eric Frazee
2023-01-30 10:36:20 +0000 UTCI was just watching part of that thinking it would be a great reaction flick!

David Lengyel
2023-01-30 09:26:03 +0000 UTCHigh and Low (1963) is a masterpiece from one of the greatest directors of all time, Akira Kurosawa.

2023-01-30 07:25:12 +0000 UTCAmelie is one of the greatest films of all time so I voted that
Nick Sneddon
2023-01-30 06:51:34 +0000 UTCI knew Old Boy would be a runner haha. I actually haven't seen it yet but everyone I know who has, flips out when I say I haven't. As far as movies I have seen, I gotta vote for City Of God, the style is just so cool and I'm a sucker for a true story; and Seven Samurai, it's just such a badass story, and it's not too many foreign black and white films I've watched and loved, which is my bad, but I have to recommend it.

2023-01-30 06:02:11 +0000 UTCI wish "RRR" got more love. It never fails to knock reactors (and other first-time viewers) on their ass just from the sheer amount of unexpectedly epic-levels of WTF.

Philip Alan
2023-01-30 05:28:23 +0000 UTCI picked OLD BOY. I apologize in advance. That flick, for real, will fuck you up. All the way up. And then when you think about it, it will fuck you up some more.
Philip Davetas
2023-01-30 05:26:36 +0000 UTCMy I suggest the 1985 ramen western Tampopo
J.C.
2023-01-30 05:19:13 +0000 UTCI hope you guys one day check out OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies starring Jean Dujardin. Itβs a hilarious French comedy. I guess you could compare it to Austin Powers, but much funnier IMO.
Tommy Richards
2023-01-30 05:18:42 +0000 UTCSo excited for the foreign film reactions! Amores Perros (2000) Los Lunes Al Sol (2002) Mar Adentro (2004) El Laberinto Del Fauno (2006) La Piel Que Habito (2011)
Domino
2023-01-30 05:16:58 +0000 UTCHoping for Yojimbo or Seven Samurai! Yojimbo I think would be a particularly interesting video considering the films relationship to A Fistful of Dollars! ππ

2023-01-30 05:16:49 +0000 UTCThe Host(2013) was filmed in Shiprock NM The Host(2006) is from South Korea Which one is on the ballot?

Jonathan Patrick
2023-01-30 05:04:49 +0000 UTCThere's like 6 on there that would be great to react to, but Oldboy would probably be my favorite by a smidge.
