Help me pick a movie for next week!

I'm also a sucker for the orchestrated version they used in the Two Towers trailer. I'll never forget being in the theater (forget which movie) and that trailer came on and the realization that I was hearing Lux Aeterna knocked me for a loop.

acidnova

It's funny because when I first joined Nat's Patreon way back when, the polls were hidden until you placed your vote. You got 1 vote and you couldn't change it once placed. There's been several version updates since then.

Darryl Low

Yea, you right. It’s an intense film. Love the score as well.

Oof. Heavy movie. But I still pull up Lux Aeterna on YouTube once in a while because it's such a beautiful score. Probably my favorite movie score.

Wex

Can I see Requiem for a Dream on one of these lists in the future.

This isn’t one of the options, but I want to put it out there because it is my absolute favorite animated movie ever. The Prince of Egypt is fantastic and you definitely don’t have to be religious to enjoy it!

Jennifer

Saving private Ryan is such a amazing film maybe she could follow up with band of brothers

If you liked the Firefly series you will like the Expanse series on Amz Prime. Amazing characters, great writing, and the physics....the PHYSICS!!! Scifi series' have never been sooo compelling.

As they say, a drunk tongue speaks a sober mind. He had anti semitic statements, statements against black people, statements against women, on more than one recording. He's going to need an amazing "comeback tour", to get this fan back again.

Can I recommend you put Tombstone in the running at some point?

Ray Riddle

I voted The Last Samurai, but it looks like Saving Private Ryan is gonna win. Prepare yourself for this movie if it wins.

Ray Riddle

I think the anti-Semitism came from Hollywood. Im Australian, there are barely any Jewish people here. Shit if i was recorded in times of blackout id look like a piece of shit too.

Cripkie

I understand losing interest in Mel Gibson movies but I still find the Lethal Weapon movies entertaining and Ransom is a strong, emotional film. I found Braveheart to be somewhat overrated since I first saw it.

Justin S.

YO! Last of the Mohicans is my Favorite movie... and no one ever watches it. So even if it loses... keep it in your back pocket for the future... and for people like me. Please and Thank You.

I recommended this on another of her Videos. Maybe she can do a list of subtle Sci-fi. Have this and the Time traveler's wife. Maybe finish it off with Timer starring Emma Caulfield.

I cant remember if I saw The last of the Mohicans, but I definitely saw the others. I would say Private Ryan may be the best on that list, but Mel Gibson is also tainted in my mind, so that may be affecting my vote. The last samurai was good, but not very memorable to me. I would probably rather see a reaction to Black Rain

Saving Private Ryan is the most intense opening fifteen minutes of a movie I have ever seen.

David W Richards

I just looked at the poll settings options and that isn't there. Can choose an end date or decide if people can vote on more than one option. No option to hide number of votes. She'd have to do the poll off-site to do that.

Edward Olson

i do think that is a real phenomenon happens.

Armchair Wizard

Suggestion. You should do hidden polls somehow where a person cant see the status of all the votes until after they choose. I wonder if movies that have clear winners would be closer if they didn't know who was already winning? Idk just an idea. The effect could be negligible

Christopher Robles

Another would be the imitation game. About the code breakers in ww2, and pretty much the father of computing.

Yes. You still do.

Eric Janssen

Lol. “The latter three are well directed and acted”. So Braveheart the best picture and Best Director Oscar winner “wasn’t” well directed? Ok then.

Cole Jennett

Last samurai and saving private Ryan both great movies but still want u to watch swtor cinematic. Set during war between jedi and sith and looks down right amazing. Please give it a try, its 20mins long, so think of it in same way u think of the mandalorian.

Saving Private Ryan is Such a timeless classic One of my personal favorites I love how it doesn’t shy away from the reality’s of war of that time. I still can’t believe this classic lost Best picture to Shakespeare in love still haven’t got over it lol.

Eric

If you thought Braveheart was a documentary, you've been misinformed. It is not historically accurate. Now that you've had that disclaimer, please go ahead and enjoy this award-winning film.

ONugg

all tear jerking action dramas but ive gotta go Braveheart. My Scottish nan wouldn't let me forget my history.

Cripkie

Anything but Braveheart. While the latter 3 all have at least tried to be to historically accurate while portraying fiction. The first one claims to be portraying actual history, while being so inaccurate it almost hurts - also it has way to many errors regarding its actual production (cutting, continuity). I would love to see you reacting to Master and Commander: The far side of the world, which is one of the best historical dramas (based on a real figure in a made up story, depicted with extreme accuracy and would have gotten a shitload of academy awards, but had the bad luck of a movie nominated in almost all categories together with Return of the King - it won the two it was not nominated alongside) made in the last 20 years.

Ulrich Unterbrunner

I feel that your talents would be wasted on any of these films. "Braveheart" is frequently mentioned as the most historically inaccurate film ever made; "Samurai" and "Mohicans" are fake down to their bones; "Ryan" is mostly disingenuous. The latter three are well directed and acted, though, and the cinematography is first-class.

Peter Lewerin

i like all the options actually, but save private ryan is a must. after that ill say the last mohican. on third place ill put last samurai. That one is a personal preference because i love japanese culture and history but braveheart its a better movie.

oscar latorre

Never seen Last of the Mohicans so that's my pick.

WackySwacky

Saving Private Ryan is incredible. If it wins this poll I am buying stock in Kleenex before you watch it. Brace yourself.

Dan Careaga

I worked at a movie theater when SPR came out. A co-worker told me that immediately after watching it he went to his grandfather’s house and gave him a hug and thanked him. His grandfather participated in the D-Day landings but never really spoke about his experiences to his family.

Michael Frotton

Saving Private Ryan, for sure, followed by Last of the Mohicans. You absolutely can skip the other two, they're both rather infuriating (Not to mention so hilariously historically inaccurate they may as well be in middle earth.)

Roupen Agnerian

Saw SPR the night it opened. Haven't watched it again since. Not because it was a bad film. I just can't ever watch it again. It affected me that deeply. Sorry to say, I shant be watching this with you.

Ortizmo2000

I love all these movies, a really hard thing to vote on. Was wondering. How do you choose what films and shows to put up in your polls?

Ronny Boss

Braveheart...yep, going to be tears, Saving Private Ryan...yep, sobs gonna happen, The Last Samurai...the waterworks going to be in action...Last of the Mohicans..all of the above.

Andrew Dickinson

Love me some Last of the Mohicans

Patrick Toscano

Yeahhh All of them would be good....

Jay Beiler

I like that you are trying a few more serious films to balance out the entertainments.

Paul King

Hard choices here this week, I do hope Last Samurai and Braveheart get their chance as well eventually...

Michael Labs

agreed i voted last of the mohicans to show it some love

Jaybird922

this is a great poll. i hope you watch all of these eventually

Jaybird922

The Nice Guys is also fantastic. Hilarious 70s era crime comedy/drama Directed by the guy who did Iron Man 3.

Marc Ammundsen

If you want some different films you should check out Pan's Labyrinth (directed by Guillermo del Toro). It's his best film. Absolute masterpiece.

Marc Ammundsen

The Last of the Mohicans is absolutely the best film here. Hope more people vote for it!

Marc Ammundsen

im just a sucker for japanese stuff?

DaMarkiM

good selection. have to vote last samurai even tho deep down in my heart i know its probably not quite up there.

DaMarkiM

All of these are great choices. On a scale of 1-10, all of them would rate 10 except "Last of the Mohicans", which would rate a good, solid 11. It looks like "Saving Private Ryan" is going to win, though. Not that I'm complaining. "Saving Private Ryan" is still a good, solid movie....

Chris Gronau

Nat's reaction to Ant-Man will probably be released on Monday. (At least, that's the pattern she's been following lately....) This poll should be for the movie reaction released this Friday (again, assuming she follows her recent release pattern holds true....)

Chris Gronau

How is The Last Samurai beating Last of the Mohicans? They're not even close in quality. C'mon people!

warcrimes

Literally all of them are pretty dang realistic movies of their times showing bloody and emotional conflict. Hope she's ready for these. All are pretty much must watch though imho

Adam Block

Sadness the Last Samurai isn't winning. Hopefully you give it a shot though some other time!

Adam Block

Omg yes!

Getoff Mylawn

If you want to watch the MOVIE, buy a freakin' disk.

Eric Janssen

Voted Mohicans because it's the the best one listed and you'll like it more. Everyone voting for Private Ryan...... jeez, people.

Juan Tutrífor

Kingdom of Heaven (directors cut) is amazing. If that was on this list that would be my pick.

Vincent Valentin

If you haven't seen GATTACA, that's one you should check out for sure!

Dan

I see Saving Private Ryan is good! Braveheart is okay but Last Samurai is far better in my opinion. I would also include Kingdom of heaven at some point.

AC5555

My vote I'd for Saving Private Ryan. Although Braveheart would be a close second, and I just love everything Mel Gibson.

David Crabtree

I would suggest saving Braveheart until August. I watch it every August 23. The Last Samurai would be big right now as there is a Samurai Netflix doc just released. But all 4 are shiny choices. I would definitely sit on Saving Private Ryan because it's an American heavy and we could all use something lighter right now. Plus there is a cameo that might be more exciting after a good wait. 😉

Jonathan Vickers

There would be tissues with any of the four, if we’re being honest.

Matthew Periolat

Braveheart, without question. It’s in my personal top five despite being historically inaccurate to say the least and Mel Gibson being Mel Gibson. Also absolutely love Last of the Mohicans. Last Samurai is a pretty solid movie.

Matthew Periolat

If I had to pick an order for these to watch ( I don't have to, but I'm gonNA DO IT ANYWAY! MWAAAHAHAHAHAHA! ) it would be Ryan, Mohicans, Braveheart, Samurai. It's not really about which is the better movie, just about the the way I liked them.

Pete Bowers

Pootie Tang

Dooly

Last of the Mohicans is the only one that's on a streaming service I have (Hulu), so I vote for it.

Kevin Mowery

I did vote Saving private Ryan also but Last of the Mohicans is also a great movie. Please keep those other movies in your last polls in mind as well.

James Young

Everyone and their dog has done a Saving Private Ryan reaction, how about American Sniper or Black Hawk Down, which don't have any reaction videos?

For those complaining about "One more Saving Private Ryan", think Last of the Mohicans is new unexplored reactor territory broken. Good to see that one get out into the ether.

Eric Janssen

All four eventually, but Saving Private Ryan first!

Zach Greenleaf

So few people know Last of the Mohicans, top 5 movies for me all time. doesn't get much better than Daniel Day Lewis. Braveheart is great aswell

Josh B

BRAVEHEART is all sorts of wildly inaccurate and ahistorical. SAVING PRIVATE RYAN is all sorts of accurate. And doesn't star an antisemite. No contest.

Mysterious Science Fiction Fan

All of these are worth a watch. I voted The Last of the Mohicans because it's great, a personal fave, and the other films have been reacted to ubiquitously

JayWantsACat

I had a difficult time deciding between "Braveheart" and "Saving Private Ryan". Both excellent movies! 😊

Randee Carreno

Last Samurai then Saving Private Ryan

Ant-Man, please.

David Brown

Plugged for Last Samurai as it's a good tourist brochure for my home town & province in New Zealand where a good portion of it was filmed (Mt Taranaki subs in for Mt Fuji). It also showcases the talents of Ken Watanabe, Billy Connolly and Timothy Spall (father of Rafe Spall, Shaun of the Dead/Hot Fuzz). Personally, I prefer Ed Zwick's earlier film Glory - some powerful performances there, but it shares some very similar elements with Last Samurai, which kinda spoiled the latter for me.

Starromania72

Last of the Mohicans doesn’t get enough love and the rest are all great movies. Saving Private Ryan is a must see but Maybe a change of pace from the modern warfare movies. Brave Heart would be a good choice but it’s been played to death. Last of the Mohicans, when it doesn’t get the vote might be a spare time movie. Just remember to bring the tissues.

Christian Rennie

This isn't just entertainment for us, it's therapy for them-- For every single YouTube reaction to Airplane, Star Wars:ANH, Jaws, Holy Grail, Blazing Saddles or Schindler's List, there's someone who HASN'T SEEN THEM YET. And that could be a gateway to Casablanca, Sound of Music...who knows? We are hope for a movie-deprived generation, now that the TV Late Show is dead.

Eric Janssen

I would go with Last of the Mohicans.

Christian Rennie

Dude, just ask Tom out already

Robert Carroll

These are OK. Saving Private Ryan is good. Braveheart was intertaining. The Last Samurai too. No strong will to see one over the other. Here is one that would beat these out in my book (as far as interest in watching a reaction, not, per se, the movie itself. The Postman.

Genius to put up this list right before month end in case some Patreon’s were considering dropping off. Worth the monthly cost alone to see her react to SPR or Braveheart.

Cole Jennett

Looks like Saving Private Ryan will win... Great movie... But please keep Braveheart in rotation... You will love it.

In case anyone doesn't know, you can vote for more than one.

Ken

EVERY reactor on YouTube is watching Saving Private Ryan. There's nothing new to be reacted to there. How many reactions do people want to watch of the same movie, over and over? There's no point in even voting as people seemed determined to see yet another reaction of that movie.

Edward Olson

Braveheart should be next after SPR.

Gary Poussard

i agree. It has its issues but they're minor.

Vincent Valentin

Shame.. I think The Last Samurai is a more interesting watch. There is certainly a greater depth of emotion and philosophy in it.

Crwn

Four excellent choices. Well, three, anyway.

Yeah, I mean it's pretty damn raw, makes you appreciate the people brave enough to step into that.

Joe Blankenship

Wow, this was a tough one...I like 'em all...

Josh Emmanuel

Ryan is great. I watched a reaction to it a few weeks back and even that 20 minute video had me in tears. Also be prepared for war, bloody, gruesome war.

Joe Blankenship

There will be tissues. Oh, yes. There will be tissues.

Michael G. Munz

All great movies. Last of the Mohicans while a good movie would probably be the worst for a reaction, the pacing is a little slow at times. On par with Dances with Wolves (Which I own the extended director's cut of)

Ant-Man should be on Monday. Game of Thrones in the middle of the week, and whatever wins this poll on Friday.

JediLounger

And such an amazing soundtrack too.

Nathaniel Wolf

As for Last Samurai, I'd put Tom Cruise up against THIS guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GF5U83UIX1o

Eric Janssen

Oh these movies are really heavy especially while watching it along with Game of Thrones as well. You're going to need a good comedy after this. 😬

Tiger Chu

I will take the Academy Award Winner, but Saving Private Ryan arguably should also hold that title. Good with either. The others, while quite good in my opinion, are a solid step below the other two.

Cole Jennett

I think SPR is definitely the highest quality movie on this list (maybe Spielberg's best?) but I voted for Braveheart because I think it has more reaction worthy moments for someone who hasn't seen it before. Much more humor between the parts of deadly seriousness. SPR you might just sit there for 3 hours in silence because the story is so intensely gripping.

Steve J

I'm doing my best for the Sons of Scotland 👍

Darryl Low

Last of the Mohicans is severely underrated, or at the very least, overlooked. It's one of my all-time favourite films. I voted for it even though I know it's losing.

tezster

I just hope that Braveheart wins someday.. I love that movie!! :-)

Daniel Gauvreau

Looks like “Saving Private Ryan” is winning and while it is the best film on this list (and one of the greatest war films of all time)... you guys are going to traumatize poor Natalie... lol

John Hoffler Jr.

Personally I like The Last Samurai more than SPR but SPR is almost certainly gonna win. Its good, but ive never really been compelled to re-watch it after i saw it a second time. Where as TLS was on repeat for a good part of my teen years.

Vincent Valentin

You can't go wrong with any of these. You should definitely watch them all eventually. The only reason I didn't vote for Saving Private Ryan is I would recommend watching that in June since it takes place starting on D-Day, June 6th 1944. But it's an superior movie regardless when you watch it.

John

no ant man this week? I love all of the films on this list but I really feel like you're going to LOVE ant man lol

john collins

The losers aren't dropped forever. Once a vote was so close that Natalie ended up doing the top 2 movies, so vote for your lucky loser and maybe Natalie will buy extra tissues and do two of them. 🙂

Alan Kobb

I think Saving Private Ryan will probably win, and it is a brilliant film, but I voted for Last Of The Mohicans. Feel like it’s an absolute forgotten classic, the score for the film is one of the most beautiful music scores ever made, not to mention it’s just an all out great movie, DDL is awesome. If not then The Last Samurai, also an amazing film, one of Cruise’s best, Ken Watanabe is also incredible in it. Plus it has an amazing soundtrack as well! Maybe just watch them all, one a week for the next month?!

Andy Crawley

If we are writing stuff in, then I am throwing in Mr. Right. Sam Rockwell, Timothy Roth, and Anna Kendrick are very funny in this one.

Nathaniel Wolf

One of my go to movies. Getting the the point where I can remember what they are saying in Japanese.

swoop_13-37

All of these movies are fantastic, must we choose just one? lol.

JediLounger

There ARE no other versions but the '92. :)

Eric Janssen

Write-in vote for Rob Roy. 🙂

Arki Kali

SPR makes me cry everytime I see it...I'm a full-grown ass man who often laughs during horror movies...good luck. If you haven't seen it though, then your shit out of luck cos I'd say it's a bucket list film.

I would agree (though nothing against the Cruiser), I’ve also been trying to recommend classics to react to. Like Bong Joon Ho said about subtitles, if people could get over the fear of black and white there’s a whole treasure trove of five star stories waiting to be enjoyed. “Seven Samurai”, “Paths of Glory”, “12 Angry Men”, the Hitchcocks, etc Perhaps someone should make a reaction channel exclusively for older films.

David Trumble

Holy crap that is one heavy list 😮

Elisa H.

4 great movies again. Loving all this variety on your channel Nat 💛

Darryl Low

Urgh, the last of these you should watch is winning :(

These are all great movies. Braveheart is my all time fave though. All worth watching. And you’ll prob need tissues for all of them.

Jesse Arnold

Unlike my typing

Last Samurai is beautiful. I had to.

Robert Carroll

There are actually 7 movies called Last of the Mohicans. The 1920 version is in the National Film Registry. I assume you are talking about the 1992 version with Daniel Day Lewis. I think they're all good choices, but I'll always go for something historical.

Alan Kobb

This patroen thing is awseome

Wow these are all top tier films. I hope we eventually get all of them.

Bartman

The Last of The Mohicans is my favorite out of this poll and would be a good choice for the reason that it has not been as reacted to as much as the others. Michael Mann is one of the most talented directors and Manhunter, Heat, The Insider, and Collateral should be watched at some point. Saving Private Ryan is great as well but seen it many more times.

Justin S.

Of these 4 Saving Private Ryan is my favorite, but these are all excellent films so please do all of them at some point.

JAD

Last samurai is a very close second for me

WHAT is the freakin' deal with Last Samurai showing up on every single reactor’s polls? Did an entire generation of fangirls grow up with Tom Cruise as their first exposure to feudal Japanese culture, and thinks Akira Kurosawa is an anime character on a motorcycle? (Over on another reactor's polls, we’re still trying to convince voters why it won’t hurt to watch The Seven Samurai, one of the most badass films ever made.)

Eric Janssen

My thoughts exactly

Tom

Saving private Ryan plus 30

In terms of which one you’d have the most “fun” with I’d go with “Last Samurai”, but in terms of which is the best film it would have to be “Ryan”. Just be prepared for it to be brutal.

David Trumble

The only one of these that I have not seen is “The Last Samurai”. The other three are all extremely good. I picked “The Last of the Mohicans” simply because I’ve seen so many reactions already to “Saving Private Ryan”. It looks like “Saving Private Ryan” is probably going to win, but I am fine with that. It’s a wonderful movie and I’m sure you will love it. I just recommend going back and watching the others later.

Wally Hartshorn

I figured it out, I'm voting for one I don't want to win so that I don't jinx the one I do. But in reality, all 4 of these are some of the best films I've ever seen. So it's a win win win win

It Hurt A Lot

One of these days Th Last Samurai will win a poll here XD On that day, I shall say huzzah!

Daniel Drew

Guys do me this one solid and pick Braveheart, for the love of Scotland please

Fraser

Let's be honest. All of them would need tissues.

Game Wizard001

Everyone else has reacted to Saving Private Ryan. Mix it up with the Last Samurai!

Christopher French

The Last Samurai is in my top 10 favorite movies. But is has zero chance to be selected next to Saving Private Ryan and Braveheart

Daniel Andersen

Damn all of those are good choices

David Miles

last samurai

Kage Uzumaki

Picked braveheart but all are good so win win 🙂

Ian

My vote is Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse

Prepare yourself emotionally...

Flick Freaks

Saving Private Ryan for sure . Bring tissues

Ivan Lopez

Braveheart!

Matt Wyatt
