From a long time ago "Enemy Mine" - unlike what's out there today.

Gary

Crimson Tide !

Dillon Sylvester

Please Donnie Darko Nat!

Amy Watson

I had seen Arrival once, too. Also don't remember it. Just watched it again. It's non memorable. I have to recommend you skip it. 😕

David Sumner

There's still a bunch of TNG episodes I still haven't seen. A few episodes of the original series is all uou need to understand the dynamic. You should certainly watch Space Seed before seeing Star Trek 2. You don't have to but it does add more.

Thats MR. Baldamort

You seriously dont need to watch all the shows to just watch the movies, even the newer ones. As somebody who didnt start watching the shows until after I seen all the movies, I still enjoyed and understood everything. Its annoying how when a reactor wants to get into a movie seeires and some people scare them off from it by saying they need to watch 100 million hours of bullshit first. So lets not go there. Nat wouldnt even commit to all that crap anyway.

James Leighton

Genuinely dismayed that more people are picking the overhyped Donnie Darko over Close Encounters. Arrival is great though so if it wins I'll be happy enough.

David Sumner

You’ve talked about checking out Star Trek but there is a massive amount of Star Trek content, over 500 hours’ worth. A lot of the older stuff is dated, slow, and hard to get through. I highly recommend that instead of trying to go through a whole season, pick 3-4 of the best episodes from each season, maybe do a write in poll/ and the movies. Especially with The Next Generation, a lot of the better episodes don’t happen until the later seasons.

Tyler Douglas

I second this. Andor is SO GOOD. Such great writing and character development compared to most recent Star Wars stuff. A little slow at first, but gets really intense mid-season and definitely emotional towards the ends. I can see it as something Natalie would expect not to enjoy but then really liking it by the end as it seems boring on the outside but is actually some of the best written recent Star Wars. Hopefully she checks it out eventually but who knows. Maybe when season 2 releases.

Charlie Keeler

I often question people's viewing habits 😂

Danishprince

Never say never but unlikely to ever happen

Andy

Andor is never happening on here unfortunately

Andrew langton

Ekkington

Would you watch Andor?

Daniel McGuinness

It’s a complex movie, and Nat has been blown away by movies she’s seen before but didn’t really remember, I’m for it

El_Zilcho22

Any excuse to watch Arrival again is good with me. So I voted Arrival.

Nick Mo

Going to pitch this again. THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!!!! The Highlander!!! If only for the Great QUEEN soundtrack

Chishiya

You don’t get it and that’s ok, but from the masterpieces out there she hasn’t reacted to… these are the options. It’s okay still enjoy her reactions

Maxxwell Denton

Since it's from my youth, Close Encounters is my favorite of the choices.

Skellyp

Can’t wait for AoT to be on one of these poles one day 🤞

MoulinNoir

here's to Darko! love that movie

Steve

Since she's seen it, the end is unlikely to hit her like a truck. I'm going with Donnie Darko since it's the top vote-getter she hasn't already seen.

Daniel McGuinness

Arrival is the one tbh, that ending hit me like a truck

PrayTellCaesar

Pretty sure she has. She gets the references to it in other movies

Spawncalibur

If Donnie Darko wins I recommend NOT the directors cut. Its one of my favorite films of all time since its release. Rare case where the DC version is worse by many but if that's all available for streaming its still great.

Tony Sanson

One day, Close Encounters...one day...

Stephen Lewis

Voted, Natalie should do a western poll. 3:10 to Yuma Tombstone Dances With Wolves The Good, The Bad & The Ugly The Unforgiven Hostiles Lonesome Dove...the genre may not do so well with her recent Marvel fans, but I know I would like to see some of these in a future poll.

Edward Rahardjo

It's gotta be Donnie Darko!

Mike Hell

I'm down with all of those recommendations, especially Dredd, still a travesty we didn't get a sequel

Erik Stevenson

Alex Garland is underrated as a writer, agree Sunshine would be great, also would love to see Annihilation, Dredd, and Civil War get reactions eventually.

Erik Stevenson

Who is recommending widely seen and widely liked movies?

Erik Stevenson

I agree, but idk that it would ever win a poll unfortunately since it's not super well known, it's a fantastic movie though and I'd love to see Nat react to it.

Walter Lopez

Donnie Darko Wins WOHOOO! ....and now we wait🥶😅

Rob Frawley 2nd

Donnie Darko is such a strange and interesting movie. I hope it wins!

Agent September 🏴‍☠️

Have you already seen 2001: A Space Odyssey? Thats the scifi movie that started it all and is still as fantastic as the day it was released

James Fisher

I need your help getting Natalie to watch The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel . If you have not heard of this show, it's an American period comedy-drama television series. Amazon Original that has won multiple Golden Globes and Critic Choice awards. And you should see for yourself.

Mike Hell

I'm pulling for DD but I don't like its chances. People have been clamoring for Arrival for a while so I imagine it will win handily. I'm a fan of all of these films (even Close Encounters which is kinda boring) but as others have said, I hope you'll add Sunshine to your SciFi watchlist soon, it's a great one.

Andre

really hope donnie darko doesnt win lmao what a nothing movie WAR OF THE WORLDSSS

Eric Trinidad

I was just thinking of Donnie Darko this past weekend.

Keith Jacobsen

I hope Sunshine (sci-fi) makes it on your list sometime.

Ben Curran

Some good choices in there.

Thomas Wetherell

Well, my pick is losing again. 🤦‍♂️

Natalie Gold

oh yes

Natalie Gold

thanks for the suggestion!

Stephen Ray

If you watch Donny Darko, I strongly recommend the Director's Cut. It's a lot more understandable.

Mastervodo

I'm hoping Darko wins! Close Encounters is "classic" - but that doesn't mean it's not pretty boring.

Gary

This list is missing Contact w Jodie Foster

LittleGalaxyBoy

That was my worry. I thought it would be a fun stream idea. Everyone sitting around listening to War of the Worlds but youtube and copy right can be a hassle. The War of the Worlds, Orson Welles 1938 radio drama would be a fun idea as well, less copy right issues.

Raieldon

Was just going on a 70s sci-fi deep dive. Close Encounters and A Clockwork Orange are indispensable.

Jerry Gonzalez

Donnie darko for the soundtrackkk

Miles E Coburn

I'm not sure if there has actually been a movie, other than a concert movie, done of "Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds" (1978). It is a terrific concept album, and it is genuinely one of the albums that first got me into prog rock. Richard Burton's narration gives me goosebumps. But Natalie would probably encounter some serious copywrite issues.

devin flynn

Have you seen Forest Gump?

Caomhan84

Come on people. Stop picking the recent stuff just because it's recent (besides, she's already seen it). Close Encounters is a complete classic. Everyone should see it.

LittleGalaxyBoy

I assume it's the 2005 film as that movie was simply titled "War of the Worlds" While the classic was The War of the Worlds (1953). Same vibes as Suicide Squad (2016) and The Suicide Squad (2021), very easy to overlook and forget which one is which.

Gavinmc

Gattaca

Lobos625

Can we get annihilation in a poll? I would love to see you react to that

Jordan

Arrival any day of the week, one of my favourite sci fi movies✨✨✨

LittleGalaxyBoy

I'd recommend Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds (1978) any day over the films. Such an amazing musical treat that's much more faithful to the 1895 novel than the more Americanized films. The films are still enjoyable but very much their own thing with small parallels to the novel. Could be a fun stream idea, though copy right may be a bitch. But highly recommend checking it out in your free time. I often listen to the whole album while studying. Killraven: War of the Worlds is also a really interesting series of comics with a cool Marvel spin on War of the Worlds. I wouldn't complain if Marvel one day released a TV special of War of the Worlds like what we they did with Werewolf by Night. Though not sure who actually own the rights to War of the Worlds, Novel is public domain.

Chishiya

Love her but WHO is reccomending these????

Daniel Green

Has to be close Encounters. It’s one of the greatest movies of all time and an important movie in semi-modern history. Arrival is okay, but CEOTTK helped to change movie history. It’s a classic.

Narutoanime16

I never seen Donnie Darko but I hear it’s a classic

Pickupthepieces76

Would like Donnie or Close above the others if you have seen them once already. Better to see something completely new and both are very recommended.

David Olden

Fully agree, Baggie Mark. Close Encounters of the Third Kind made me a Spielberg fan for life. Arrival, which is currently in the lead, is great, but Close Encounters is a must see! (Ideally, both, but we’ve only got one vote 🙄)

Thats MR. Baldamort

I'm voting for the films nat has not seen at all. Close encounters mainly. Arrival stereotypically wins every polls in every community and I find it annoying at this point that people have not depth to the films they watch.

Darryl Low

Happy Wednesday Nat. Going to vote again for the classic Spielberg / Williams collab (no, not War of the Worlds) - Close Encounters. One of these days it will win 🤞😊 Have a great day Nat 💛
