Help me pick a movie to watch!

Would you consider watching The Boys? :)

Fanatic

If you take other suggestions, I would love for you to react to the Kingsman Movies. They're pretty fun to watch :)

Fanatic

CANNOT recommend Whiplash enough if you still haven't seen it

Jess E

All four are very good movies. Would highly recommend watching all of them. However the Departed was based on a Hong Kong movie called Infernal Affairs. Would be a great video comparing Western and Eastern cinema and your take on the different styles

Edward Rahardjo

why have i never even heard of the second one? is it on prime or netflix?

Stefan Au

Drive was an interesting movie but I don't think it would make a good reaction. The Departed was a masterpiece and No Country for Old Men was also very good (both would make great reactions.) I haven't seen Whiplash but it looks like it could make a fun reaction.

The Golgothan

All great movies. Some suggestions for future polls: 1. Jojo Rabbit (dark comedy about WW2 germany, directed by Taika Waititi. I believe it was nominated for Best Picture, won best adapted screenplay, and Scarlett Johannson was nominated for Best Supporting actress) 2. The Impossible (historical drama about Thailand Tsunami of 2004. Stars Ewan McGregor, Naomi Watts (Best Actress nom), and Tom Holland

Caedyn

I will always pick “Drive” even though it never wins a poll.

Ryder

I just watched The Mitchells vs The Machines on Netflix and it was an unexpected joy. I think you would love it and it's a great movie to react to.

Alvin Santos

Should do some old school movies . Field of dreams or sandlot .

clint brunke

Another movie I thought of for you to do is Knives Out! Great whodunit mystery and its freaking hilarious too!

Richard Church

No Country for Old Men is my choice. And though The Departed is a good movie, the original is better imo.

Jan Sørensen

These are all such solid picks. Can’t go wrong with any of them. Also, completely unrelated but you should consider checking out Twin Peaks for your next series after ATLA. It’s a mind fuck, plus there is a movie that goes with it

Casey Walker

The main thing to remember in my experience is that - initials for spoiler reasons - DC is the opposite of D. That's the thing my dad always forgets - also he can't tell the difference. Ever since I saw it in cinemas, I've never been able to relax when a certain setting is involved in fiction.

Eddie Green

in the next poll add a place beyond the pines its so good

Reese Stephens

This comment needs a rim shot.

Richard Maurer

It's a pretty obscure art house film for most audiences. I vote for it every time but unless put up against other art house films it will never win.

Myles Away

It's funny, for me with The Departed it's such a good movie but the plot is so complex that I forget what it's about and how scenes go if I go 5+ years without rewatching it.

YodatheHobbit

Damnit, how is Drive always so low? It's so good. Lots of good movies in this poll though so I'm not too upset this time.

YodatheHobbit

They’re all great. It’s a win either way

John Rando

Whiplash is better than both actually. I personally think it’s a classic. Not many flaws in this film, if any.

John Rando

Any honestly, pick any one of them 👍👍

John Rando

Could we see Knives Out on an upcoming poll? Netflix just announced the sequel is releasing later this year.

G. T. Blackwell

I've never been a fan of the Cohen brothers, but I know they are very popular with a lot of people.

Felix Bergman

"Whiplash" and "No Country" would get my vote.

David Trumble

Looking at anything on this list is going to elicit a lot "Oh, God! No, no! Why!!" *tears*

James Tyrrell

Definitely with crime thrillers she better be ready for the gore haha

DS P

I think she’s watching all the Marvel stuff according to their release dates. But I believe she should definitely try to watch the first season of Daredevil before getting into Hawkeye though.

Philip

Sorry to keep asking, but are you doing "Hawkeye" soon? Idk who told you that you needed to watch "What If?" first, bit you DEF didn't need to. Plus it's only 6 episodes like the other live action MCU shows. I'm super excited to re-watch the show with you! I think you're going to LOVE it!

Jeff E

Natalie if you're going to watch some crime movies like Departed, No Country for Old Men and Drive, you should watch Heat sometime soon! I recommended it before but it is a great film with Al Pacino and Robert de Niro. More of an action drama, but it is one of the best films ever made and you should definitely check it out sometime!

Richard Church

Holding faithfully out for No Country for Old Men...

Maxwell Hunter

really don't think that No Country for Old Men is a Natalie type of movie - I thought it was far out there and kind of cool, but that just my taste.

JarHead0351

I'm really hoping for No Country for Old Men. The gap was bigger before, so there's still a chance.

Steve

One day we'll get to watch Drive..One day

zak

I choose Whiplash. It's an amazing film but The Departed is also great. That's gonna be a great reaction!

RandomAndysChannel

They’re all good movies, but not ones I feel particularly wanting to watch a reaction to. They don’t trigger nostalgia I guess. But that could be just me.

Jay Wacker

Hey Nat, I'd say it's pretty clear that you want to see Drive so I say just react to it, even though it's winning none of the polls. For me, I would pick No Country For Old Men as it's the only one I want to watch, although I'll watch whatever you watch anyway. The only one I've watched is The Departed, which will clearly win this poll. I tend to think that's it's overrated, although I'm probably not as vehemently opposed to it as a lot of the people commenting on this post. No Country For Old Men has always interested me, but, for some reason or another, I've never gotten to it

Ilsuk Yang

i think she said she's seen that

Jason Dolan

And she always put it back in polls because she definitely really wants to see it lol gotta just put it in a poll with 3 duds and it’ll win I guess haha

Marlon Nicolle

Would love to see Interstellar

Don

Until Drive is chosen it'll always have my vote.

Logan Kerlee

We need to put lucifer in a poll

nexus

if no country for old men has to lose please include it in a future poll its soooooo good

matthew

No Country For Old Men is not a movie. It's a profoundly meaningful life experience that left me contemplating it for a long time after I saw it. But I don't think you get everything there is to understand about it on the first watch; the themes about fate, chaos, random violence. I certainly didn't. It has multiple scenes in it that still give me a chill in my bones, and they're just dialogue scenes. Two people talking, nothing else happening. Chigurh and the old man at the gas station. The young widow and Chigurh in her room. The Sheriff and his uncle at his uncle's run down shack. Chigurh and the two kids on the street. The Sheriff and his wife in their kitchen. I don't know if Natalie would like this film. It's slow paced, with long silences just watching the characters do things, punctuated by bursts of graphic violence, and a lot of people hated how it ends when it came out. It's a tough, gritty film that demands you pay attention. I almost feel like it needs a primer or something to introduce the themes and concepts so everyone can understand the deep meaning behind everything that's happening, or perhaps its absence, but I don't want to post any spoilers. It's easily in my top 3 films and with a gun to my head may actually be #1.

Skizane

Hoping for NCFOM but The Departed is amazing too. Win. win.

Grandmazter3 .

No Country For Old Men is the best of these but The Departed is probably a good second.

Julian Welton

No bad choices here

Travis

I think that ‘The Departed’ is best of these movies but if I could only pick one I’d probably like to see your reaction to ‘No Country’ the most.

Chris Moon

No Country for Old Men plzzz

Hector M. Hurtado

No Country for Old Man is a masterpiece!

Thomas Richter

Drive :)

Angel Sanchez

NCFOM!!!! Departed is about an hour longer than the hong kong movie its based off of (Infernal Affairs) and marginally better

CC

Jeremiah Johnson (1972) - what a great movie or Open Range another great movie

JarHead0351

You’ve put Whiplash and more so Drive on these lists so many times it’s super obvious that you’re dying to watch them! Haha just do it! People won’t be upset, they’re great movies.

Marlon Nicolle

I think from reading the comments she should just skip The Departed and watch Infernal Affairs instead. Having gotten used to being the lone voice supporting Infernal Affairs, I was pleasantly surprised to see so many other people coming out for it this time.

Richard Maurer

It's funny how many people whine about all the remakes Hollywood does but give The Departed a pass just because it was done by Scorsese.

Richard Maurer

Ayo, whiplash lowkey a GREAT movie. Departed also a great movie.

august 121

After reading the comments I think it's pretty much in agreement that you should watch all of these Nat.... Just put em' all on the list in the order of the vote and work through them whenever you have a free spot. :)

Brian Jones

Hopefully not it was a horrible movie.

Vega

Also, I know I say this every time Drive shows up on a poll .... Natalie, you should just watch this movie. Make it a "Nat's Pick". You clearly want to see it and your cinephile audience would greatly appreciate it.

Myles Away

Officially starting the petition for an Infernal Affairs watchalong in the near future. It is one of the Hong Kong greats, full of the best HK talent, including Tony Leung (the evil father from Shang-Chi). Oh, and the cinematography is stunning.

Marc Ammundsen

No Country for Old Men MAY be the best film of this bunch. Who cares? The Departed is the more entertaining film and will be good fun to watch with you.

Mike LL

No Country for Old Men is the best of these and it's not even close. Hopefully you get to it at some point.

JayF

If the Departed does end up winning, you should also watch Infernal Affairs too - either on your own or a reaction. Because the Departed is actually the American remake of it, but the Chinese original definitely holds up on its own.

Philip

Oh god, Logan! That’ll be interesting.

Byron

All good movies, though right now the votes are in almost the exact opposite order of my personal preference, lol.

Andrew Howard

All your choices are amazing films!

Jon Gascon

Not my kind of movie. Enjoy whatever gets picked.

Elvenwitch

I don't like the plot of drive, or the characters. But I can't deny the masterful cinematography. It is mesmerizing in its subtlety and is at the same time overtly on the nose. Powerful angles and careful frame compositions. Tender moments and crude violence. Many scenes are wonderfully and frustratingly contemplative. The movie is a contradiction, but one I cannot look away from.

Wu Sha Ling

Disney+ is the last platform I'd drop, just for Marvel alone. And they do some great Star Wars content too.

Richard Maurer

This is an impossible poll!! All great!!

Edward

Love we are getting some more media in the more realistic vein. Had to vote for The Departed, but No Country for Old Men is a MUST WATCH as well. Also please think of doing Master and Commander, it is an excellent and underrated movie with a great cast and unique subject matter.

Belendor229

And? Even if it is subjectively better, I don't recall these polls being "vote for the movies you think are best in quality."

David Crabtree

Scorsese is overrated in general. After Taxi Driver and Raging Bull the critics started to act like every movie he made was perfect, and Scorsese believed them. And The Departed is a remake of a better Chinese film, Infernal Affairs.

Richard Maurer

No Country for Old Men is the best movie in this poll. The Departed isn't even a original. It's a remake of a Chinese movie, Infernal Affairs. A fact that the people involved with The Departed tried to keep as quiet as possible. Infernal Affairs is also the superior version, considerably better than The Departed.

Richard Maurer

Absolutely agree, I studied in a "Jazz" school and it was an amazing experience. Not that there weren't large egos and extremely high expectations but the abuse that film portrays is kind of ridiculous.

Dan Careaga

Whiplash is the best film here, and these are all some of the best films of the 21st century.

Lemuel Daher

No show or movie for today?

Joe Blankenship

Don’t sleep on Whiplash, great movie. The Department is great to so it’s a fine consolation prize.

Ryan

I have been voting for Drive on every poll it shows up on. Natalie really just needs to watch the movie. Clearly she is interested in it.

Myles Away

Drive is awesome. Departed is great too. Others are meh 😑

Dan

Good selection, I voted Department but I think you will find them all interesting

Nathaniel Castle

All great choices! The Departed is one of my favorite Scorsese films, has a fantastic cast.

DDK

You're gonna be so happy in 9 months.

David

Thomas you think she would like Nice Guys?

Taff Lewis

No Casino, Gangs of New York, Aviator, King of Comedy, After Hours, Mean Streets, Irishman, wolf of Wall Street? 🤔

Charlie Keeler

As a professional musician I found Whiplash to be an eye roll, but from the outside I’m sure it was a good story. It’s the Departed for me, followed by No Country.

L C

Oh boy, Whiplash is like top 5 of all time for me. I love No Country too. The Departed is pretty good, but I didn't vote for it. As for Drive, love the soundtrack and visuals, but it otherwise isn't really for me

XanderWhat

This is probably controversial but I actually think THE DEPARTED is Scorsese's best movie after GOODFELLAS, TAXI DRIVER and RAGING BULL. And it makes for a great reaction.

Jason Dolan

Drive, No Country for Old Men, or Whiplash. The Departed is so overrated.

Myles Away

I want her to see Drive and Whiplash so bad i can taste it.

Armchair Wizard

You're gonna LOVE Ryan Gosling in Drive! But Whiplash is probably the better movie, although they are both fantastic.

Thomas Malley

Even if it doesn't win, Whiplash is a must down the line. I guess people think it's "not their tempo"

THE LORE!!!

All top notch. Even if No Country…. Doesn’t win, you should seriously consider doing a Coen Brothers run. All great pretty much and as far I’ve seen no other creator has done them. Plus still waiting for True Romance 😉

Harry Reece

Honestly the departed is extremely overrated. Whiplash is easily the best movie on here. And one of the best movies of the last decade. Drive is good too.

Keenan Bartlome

Underrated??? It won four Oscars

Eddy G

I really want you to watch a Horror Film Nat! A good one though LOL!

Kevin

Tbh, you should watch all of them one by one.

Navjot Singh

Nat even if it doesn’t win, you’d be doing yourself a disservice if you don’t watch No Country for Old Men(on your own). Departed is fine not one of Marty’s best but the performances are outstanding. But if you want a masterclass in story and tension I’d be hard pressed to put anything above No Country (in my top five of any film I’ve seen) Plus doing a Coen Brothers run would be good times

Charlie Keeler

Hoping Whiplash pulls through!

Jason Gillman

All Great Movies!!

Caio Momesso

Does it suck that I want all of them to win? :) There's not a bad film on that list.

Brian Jones

Whiplash is a good one

Patrick Toscano

I wanna see how she vibes with the songs. 😆 🎤 🎵

AC5555

Whiplash is so good. J.K. Simmons kills it.

Cliff W

How you gonna make me choose between the departed and no country for old men?!

DeadNotSleeping

I've started The Departed a few times and turned it off. Haven't really given it a chance.

Joe Blankenship

Same, not looking forward to this one

Peter Yocum

Also, Drive has to win now, simply for how much Nat clearly wants to watch it. 😀

Marc Ammundsen

Eternals already here

Dominykas Veiveris

Nice to step away from marvel for a bit. Also, we dropped Disney+. Too many platforms.

LarryJ nyc

Drive will be the eternal loser lol

Daniel Andersen

Love The Departed! It is a remake of the Hong Kong film Infernal Affairs (2002) which IMO is even better.

James M

I am baffled why everyone loves The Departed. Even Scorsese admits it's his weakest offering... maybe it's just the plot concept. In which case, you're missing out if you don't see Infernal Affairs, the film it's based on. Absolute masterpiece.

Marc Ammundsen

When will you watch Eternals and the Hawkeye series?

Edwin Bertilsson

To each, his own, but..really? Have you seen his movies from the 70s and 80s, cause pretty much every one of them is superior to The Departed in just about every way except maybe the number of very pretty people in them.

David

Congratulations on 250.000 yt subs nat 🥳🎉 so much deserved words can't express just awesome 💛

Ian

Never supposed to be ATLA upload on Wednesday. Tuesday and Thurday :)

Danishprince

Could not agree more. I honestly hate The Departed cos it took such a great character driven premise and turned it into the stupidest action and violence driven blockbuster.

Marc Ammundsen

Is anything coming out today?

Joel

No ATLA today? :(

Sindre

Glad the departed is winning, would love for you to put these two on a future poll Scarface and Carlitos way hopefully one day maybe sometime this year 🤷 you won't regret watching them al pacino is gold

dieselbeast

No Country for Old Men. Can be seen n no of times.

Navjot Singh

Well, it's a clear watch them all situation once again! Also. Drive!

Caballeee

I don't know any but I'm sure the people will select a good one🙏🙏🙏

Nemesis

She doesn't put out a new schedule every week. Usually just when there's a major update or when she knows what it's going to be for several weeks in a row.

David

No Country For Old Men is underrated AF..........siiiiiiiiiiiigh.........

Bob SyerUncle

Honestly all really good movies. No Country is probably a top 3 movie of all time for me. And I really think you would enjoy Whiplash and would make for a great reaction. It's a movie that has lead to a lot of great discussion for me in the past.

Tay Schumaker

I haven't heard of any of those, anyone have an opinion on where I should throw my vote?

Christopher Robles

One day Ryan Gosling will release the handbrake, race ahead to the finish line and it will be a glorious day. One day, but there's some great movies here to watch with Nat in the meantime 😊

Darryl Low

One day drive will win..

Rey

Departed is so feaking great , probably my fav Scorsese film. Fantastic cast too. But Whiplash is just among my all time fav films

Edgar

Gotta be no country. In terms of the departed the original movie Infernal Affairs is superior I think

Kelvin

Hey Natalie! Have you seen black swan?

Len

Is Drive ever going to win this poll lmao

Sour

Happy Wednesday, Natalie! 😊 I had a difficult time with this poll. Couldn't decide between "The Departed" or "Whiplash". I love both of those movies. "The Departed" ended up getting my vote for this poll. Really looking forward to your "Logan" reaction on Friday. Have a great day today! 😊 Until the next video, Stay Golden! 💛

Randee Carreno

Hmm. I've only seen one of these, so whatever is good with me

PickettsChargingPort

These are all great movies, definitely watch Drive when you can, the tension and soundtrack are great. But I’m voting for The Departed, it’s such a stressful film that I think you’ll have a lot of fun watching it!

Andy Crawley

The Departed is my 3rd favorite movie of all time. Whiplash is incredible as well.

Dante

I don't remember seeing a schedule for this week. Is there going to be a reaction today?

Lucky Dragon ‘She.They’

A silent voice

Raymond Tleimat

Literally voted for all of them.

Zack Wallace

If whiplash doesn't win this....

Jamie Mulholland

These are all great movies, but I have watched poor Drive come in 2nd over and over and over. Can we please stop the madness and watch this movie already?

David

Once upon a time in Hollywood?🤷🏻‍♂️

Drive should be done at some point regardless of the outcome

Josh Edkins

No country for old men

Joseph salazar

Departed yessssss. Whiplash also great

Tom Fehr

Please stop leaving Drive in the dustbin 😆

AC5555
