The last weekly polls winner was Jerry McGuire, which will be available this Saturday. Until then here are SOME of the films recommended by you guys. Remember, you can vote for multiple films!
Reminder: movies that don't win does not mean they will never be watched, it just means they will be watched later. Please be respectful to each others opinions, we're all just here to have fun and watch movies :)

i cant remember if ive recommended this before but if not you guys should check out Spielberg's adaption of War of the Worlds starring Tom Cruise. First movie to disturb me growing up. The book was the FIRST concept of an alien invasion too, so its historic.

Bowfinger and Black Dynamite on some list!

A few other flicks to consider even though i have a feeling most of the other subscribers might be too young to have seen them (70's and 80's movies) Miller's Crossing Barton Fink Three Days of the Condor Paris, Texas The Man Who Would be King Gattaca The Right Stuff

One movie I've never seen in any of the reactors channels (that I know of) is "Downfall" (Der Untergang) 2004, from Oliver Hirschbiegel. I guess the subject is indeed controversial, but it is one of the best parts that Bruno Ganz ever played, so much that we still see memes about it. And "Zatoichi, the Blind Swordsman" (2003) from Takeshi Kitano is a movie that was praised by Roger Ebert, and certainly not your typical Jidaigeki flick. Silence (2016), from Scorsese, is also one that I've never seen anywhere else. Powerful ending, superb acting by Garfield and Driver. (Dances with Wolves the theatrical cut, 1991, is indeed a classic to be considered, but this has been covered already)

I agree on Der Untergang - everyone only knows the meme. It would be very interesting to see someone get that scene in context.
