Feel that. Donnie Darko is 100% a must.
MoulinNoir
i have a soft spot for Donnie Darko, one of those movies that is a whole experience imo
Mike Hell
I second Blade (and Blade 2 which is even better... you can skip Blade: Trinity) as it could be a nice refresher on the character if the MCU ever actually films the Mahershala Ali version.
Baron Imhoof
I've seen several good reactions to Apollo 13. This is especially so when they haven't seen the film and are not familiar with the story.
Gavinmc
I still think you would love Gattaca if you’re thinking sci fi
Dillon Sylvester
I don’t think Apollo 13 would make for a good reaction. Donnie Darko however…
Giancarlo Gasparin
Arrival is so slept on.
Baggie Mark
Think I always back the losing option on the polls, I thought it would be good to watch Close Encounters with Nat, but I will enjoy whatever we watch with Nat 😁
Peter Yocum
What continuity issues does Apollo 13 have? I don't remember any
Ben Curran
holy shit thats a lot of pretty different movies that are all certainly worth watching...
Daniel McGuinness
Also, I wouldn’t object to you watching to some more of the early 2000s cheesy superhero flicks before diving into Deadpool and Wolverine, feel like it would help with a lot of the references x Manifesting Daredevil (2003) in particular for a Fun Bad Movie reaction🤞🏻 Blade is the OG marvel movie and still holds up (mostly) so that would be a fun one too x
JPOlsen
It seems it's you, Mr. Baldamort, who can't stand a little criticism. Our good hostess is a fellow filmmaker & her opinion is a fun part follow her, as well as part of the industry.
Steve
If the other folks are anything like me, they're not picking the best movie. they're picking the best movie she hasn't already seen.
RP
Arrival is the best movie on this list but if you’ve seen it, even not remembering, you’ll have some inkling of the twist so you will probably sniff it out and may spoil the reaction. (Of course I’d still watch anyway) So I’d then vote for Apollo 13, a masterpiece in its own right and I’d predict you’ll love it. 🍻
Thats MR. Baldamort
aww, cant stand a little criticism? some of you act like reactors are immune to it.
Steve
i suspect for a few folks, we'll just never vote for a rewatch. she can say she doesn't remember the movie well, but that's not how memory works. it's contextual, s once the movie is playing, she'll remember far more than she realizes. I don't personally watch reactions for the commentary, i watch them for the emotional responses that come with discovering a new story.
Brandon Kestly
The fuck?
Thomas Wetherell
Massively underrated miniseries.
Thats MR. Baldamort
As much as I want Apollo 13 to win, Nat has a reputation of tearing even great movies apart sometimes. I just dont want her to make a good movie look bad. I want her to simply enjoy watching it and not think about every nuance and continuity.
Steve Cocking
Yeah, I have a frank costume I wore a few years ago for a fancy dress party, but more suited for Halloween, Frank will freak Nat out...
michael anderson
moon or dark city could both be good sci fi movies here as well. mind trip movies could be jacobs ladder or eternal sunshine of the spotless mind. could go real out there and do naked lunch or Synecdoche, New York...those would be a blast...any wes anderson and this channel yet?
Edward Rahardjo
Donny Darko would make the best reaction video. Also looking forward to hear Nat's theory and take on the movie.
Joshua King
Finally! More sci-fi movies!!
Simone's Coconut Squire
Space, space, space, space, Donnie Darko…
Walter Lopez
Personally, Donnie Darko feels like such a Chill/Not So Chill movie. Its almost like a feel good movie but with a dark twist.
Ryan
The Long Kiss Goodnight, Samuel L Jackson’s favorite movie starring himself.
Joshua Frydenlund
Master and Commander ‘the far side of the world’
kenzie jo
I hope you plan on watching the new A Quiet Place eventually now that it's out on digital. I loved your reactions to the first two :)
Modders
SICARIO 🖤
Joshua Decker
I don't understand how Apollo 13 is winning. Close Encounters; Arrival; Donnie Darko, are all far more interesting movies. (For a split second I thought Arrival was The Arrival, the Charlie Sheen movie from 1996, but immediately realized no one else remembers that movie)
Kevin Mowery
I suspect this would be the Tom Cruise War of the Worlds and not the one from the 1950s, so I'm torn between Close Encounters, which I have seen, and Arrival, which I haven't.
Trae King
“Arrival” is better than “Donnie Darko” and “Apollo 13” combined. Prove me wrong.
Daniel McGuinness
Arrival tho
Amber Darko
I picked Donnie Darko. One of my favorite movies of all time. Not enough people react to it. Would be awesome to see your take on it. 🙂
Yani Dodge
Apollo 13! Great film, hope it wins! :D
Gerald Corona
If Apollo 13 wins, I hope it someday leads you to watching the limited series "From the Earth, to the Moon" co-produced by Ron Howard, Brian Grazer, Tom Hanks and Michael Bostick. It's the perfect companion piece to the movie.
Ullrich Pfeiffer
Apollo 13 is like the Martian, but actually happened- It's great.
Baron Imhoof
I think every kid in America started drinking Tang after the Apollo Program.
Miles E Coburn
And as it was adapted from Jim Lovell's own book, "Lost Moon" (and he served as a consultant on the film) pretty much what happened is on the screen. He said only one scene was made more dramatic than he remembered (the argument scene). For one of Natalie's subscribers who was actually alive and following the events closely (my birthday was the 16th), this movie takes me back every time I see it.
Miles E Coburn
Yes! Although I haven't seen an actual movie made of it. Pretty much all I've seen are snippets, and of course, just a photo with the music in the background. The original with Richard Burton's narration is just too, too good.
Jonah Jackson
No knock on the other options, which are all good movies, but I have to agree with everyone saying Donnie Darko is particularly suited to be a compelling reactor watch.
Troy B.
I voted for Close Encounters because I've never seen it and I often use reaction videos as an excuse to rent them.
Inflightmuzik
Definitely recommend Donnie Darko even if anything else wins the poll. Double feature for sure.
Dillon Sylvester
Donnie Darko please!
mojo shivers
It’s not going to win, but I would love a Donnie Darko reaction. That movie brings out such different responses and interpretations.
Paweł Wiatrowski
Apollo 13, OMG! I remember it lost a poll some time ago... It really deserves a watch, hope it wins :)
matthew h
If Donnie Darko doesn't win, then you should definitely circle back to it in October as a Halloween movie.
Baron Imhoof
Eventually, I'd like to see you react to them all. But Apollo 13 is my first choice because it really happened, I'm old enough to remember watching it happen and being extremely proud, and I enjoy seeing a younger person's take on it.
LittleGalaxyBoy
Speaking on War of the Worlds (2005), I highly recommend Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds (1978). The whole album is a blast, closer to the 1898 novel by H. G. Wells. The movies are more present day, shown through an American point of view, so pretty differant to the novel. Musical would be a good place for anyone looking for a setting or story closer to the original.
Mastervodo
Now is the time for Darko. You weird goddamn movie.
MertzRocks
At some point Nat, you must see all three that you haven't yet seen. Apollo 13 will win ofc bc... Hanks, Paxton, Bacon! But I definitely and highly recommend both Close Encounters and Donnie Darko. First, Spielberg ofc and even if the (spoilers!) is a little (spoilers!) you still can't go wrong with this one. And Donnie Darko absolutely WILL - as another patron said - BLOW YOUR MIND! We can wait a bit (well, at least I can...), but definitely get to all of those ones you never saw before. ;*
Steve Cocking
Nat, you have to watch Donnie Darko, it will blow your mind
Erik Larson
Close Encounters of the Third Kind....one of my top 5 favorites. Hopefully some day.
AJ Lynch
Donnie Darko is a must see!
adrianR31
Apollo 13 gets my vote but Arrival is a must. Donnie Darko is one of my faves but not likely to win a poll.
Danishprince
Haven't seen Apollo 13 but Arrival is one of my favourite movies so that's getting my pick
Thomas Wetherell
Ugh, I really want to pick War of the Worlds, but Apollo 13 is just too good.
Jordan
Praying for Arrival right now✨
Adithep_Jay
Hello there, War of the Worlds? Of course! It's one of my favorite alien invasion movies. And Tom Cruise is great. War of the Worlds is one of the very few Tom Cruise movies where he shows us that he's actually a good actor and not just an action star. Hope to see more Tom Cruise movies on your channel.
Troy
All great choices! I chose Close Encounters but I don't think it will win.
kasra
donnieeee
mrhalfbit
YEEEEEEEEEESSSS Apollo 13!!!!!!!!
MJ Eid
Donnie darko is a cult classic. And underrated but unfortunately will never be picked.
ISeeTrees ofGreen
Torn between arrival and Donnie 😩
Darryl Low
Happy Wednesday Nat. Hope you are doing well. Going to vote for Close Encounters this time. Been a while since we've had a classic Spielberg / Williams collab on your channel 😊
