Clockwork Orange should have won. I didn't like Donnie Darko 😂

Nick Mo

I agree that it might not be a great choice for Nat due to the graphic violence (especially against women), but it is one of Kubick’s best (after 2001 & Dr Strangelove).

thom phillabaum

I'm disappointed Zardoz and Barbarella didn't make the list...

Andy Scotschdale

Was happy seeing DD win, then was worried I'd overlooked CoM, two of my favorite films

Analytical Guy

As much as I loved reading Hitchhiker's Guide books, and watching the cheesy 6-episode TV series, I don't think I'd recommend the movie. I certainly don't mind that Donnie Darko is in the lead.

Dillon Sylvester

Yes finally Donnie Darko wins

Billy B

A clockwork orange is a bit of a stretch to call sci-fi . But far and away the best movie in this lineup. As someone who likes violent movies I welcome this. Any movie i can watch “ as a family ,” or a kid friendly movie i pass on 99% of the time .

Daniel

Donnie feels like the theater kid choice while clockwork feels like "that" theater kid choice.

djKENTO

Really hoping for the director’s cut of Donnie Darko.

Chet Brusk

There are no bad options here.

David Olden

An absolute wow indeed 🤩!

Daniel Vezina

both of them are still better than the garbage remakes.

Troymk1

Yeah I was quite young. My Nan took me if I recall. That screen going white and the music at the beginning. Just wow

Mauricio Morales

Looper with Bruce willis or 12 monkeys also with Bruce Willis, would be a great watch. Both excellent sci fi movies.

addnid07

gattaca is amazing

mcegan

Sci-fi fans x Uma/Hawke/Law fans x watched this in high school bio girlies rise up for Gattaca finally please? 🫠😂

David Olden

I saw the film in the theater when I was 16, and it made me a Spielberg fan for life.

Natalie Gold

It's on my list! I'll include it sometime soon

Troymk1

Same. It’s an amazing film. So many scenes that have become cinematic tropes.

If Donnie Darko wins and it looks like it is, after you watch the movie you should go to this website, it gives a lot of additional context to help understand the movie. When I originally watched the movie I was really confused then I went to the website that was made for the movie it made some more sense. Plus it is really cool to experience and if you did it as part of the reaction for the movie it would add a lot to your reaction. While it is promotional material for the movie I think it has some spoilers, so you may want to wait till after you watch the movie to check it out. But I think it would make awesome content and help explain the movie after you watch it. donniedarkowebsite.com

Thoko

I was initially surprised to see A Clockwork Orange listed as "Sci Fi" here. That is probably technically accurate for it to be in this list, but watching that film really makes me feel like it belongs in its own category.

Jerry Gonzalez

donnie darko finally

Steve Mercier

A Clockwork Orange is one of the greatest movies of all time...but it's not for everyone. Gonna go with Donnie Darko here instead...thnk you'll like that one more.

Derder

.....let the commitment doubting of Sparkle Motion...BEGIN!!!

Kristian Perkins

Children of Men - trust me

Jacob King

Let no one doubt my commitment to Sparkle Motion

Wesley

If Donnie Darko wins, the theatrical version is the preferred cut amongst fans. The directors cut is just no good.

FateMalone

I cant say i have:(

Choof

You've never heard of Close Encounters of the third kind?

jamie jones

Itd be a good reaction tho

Powers209

I was thinking, Sweet. Gotta a has 100% and with over 30 comments. Then I realized I'm the only vote.

Michael Saville

Is Clockwork Orange really sci-fi?

Thomas Richter

Clockwork Orange please

Andy Scotschdale

Is Donnie finally gonna win 🥹

vlocke67

c'mon gattaca!

FateMalone

Never heard of these

Rey

Gonna go with kubrick for this one

Jason Gillman

Gattaca is one of the best sci-fi movies ever made. Easy choice.

David Olden

Close Encounters of the Third Kind on the poll? I’m gonna do my cinephile duty and keep voting for it!

Jimmie V

Just for balance, ACO is a DIFFICULT film, not a BAD one... it's all about what you take from it.

Julia Burch

The book was fun to read in high school as a personal challenge, but certainly not something I'd turn to for entertainment

Max

Speaking of sci-fi, I'm still holding out hope that we'll see a Star Trek reaction from you one day. If you put it in a future poll, I suggest that you just write "any Star Trek", and then, if it wins, have us decide in a separate poll what Star Trek content to watch.

Walter Lopez

Donnie Darko is winning🤗😭😭🥹

JayF

I hope for your sake that "A Clockwork Orange" never wins. No spoilers but it's horrible IMO.

Maia Wilson

Lol I'm late

Jimathai

same ones... lets gets some new choices after this.

Jimathai

she already reacted to Nope.

Gavinmc

Truth.

Gavinmc

Ha, anybody who picks Clockwork Orange (a great movie) hates Natalie. It is soooo not a Natalie movie. But Malcolm McDowell is perfect in it. And I could be wrong. It is also well done, just brutal and unforgiving. But I'm all in for Gattaca. I am very sure she would love that movie. The way it's filmed, the story, the cast. It is just an elegant movie.

Mastervodo

Replace Close Encounters and Clockwork Orange with Alita Battle Angel and Dredd. Much more fun movies! Or... if we are doing oldies - Forbidden Planet!

Darryl Low

Happy Wednesday Nat. I think its finally time for some more Spielberg/Williams magic on your channel with CE3K, although I can see there's plenty of Unidentified Flying Objections to it in the poll already 😆 Maybe next time. Have an awesome day Nat 💛

Maia Wilson

Nope should be on this list!

Eric Miller

Clockwork vs my son Donnie Darko? Say it ain’t so

Marcus

Need to add Dredd(2012) to your list if you haven't already. Thanks!

Adeptus_Retardes

By God Gattaca will win one day 😂

Edward Rahardjo

Donnie Darko is a mind trip. However I hope Gattaca wins.

Mr. Bundy

If you did the Hitchiker’s old BBC series I’d be there for that in a heartbeat.

Chris Biebel

I loved the Hitchhiker's Guide books and the TV series. The movie? Meh.

The Dingo

Neither of those aged well at all

Troy

Voted for Gattaca.

Berry

I will keep voting for Gattaca. Eventually we'll get there :) Also, one day, I'd also like to see reactions for the other 2 Paul Verhoeven sci-fi classics: RoboCop and Total Recall.

Gavin Kinsey

All very good in very different ways, would not be disapointed by any of them. Maybe HHGTTG isn't quite up there with the others, but I still enjoyed it personally.
