From a long time ago "Enemy Mine" - unlike what's out there today.
Crimson Tide !
Please Donnie Darko Nat!
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. 😕
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.
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.
I often question people's viewing habits 😂
Would you watch Andor?
Andor is never happening on here unfortunately
Any excuse to watch Arrival again is good with me. So I voted Arrival.
Going to pitch this again. THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!!!! The Highlander!!! If only for the Great QUEEN soundtrack
Since it's from my youth, Close Encounters is my favorite of the choices.
Can’t wait for AoT to be on one of these poles one day 🤞

here's to Darko! love that movie
Arrival is the one tbh, that ending hit me like a truck
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.
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.
One day, Close Encounters...one day...
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.
It's gotta be Donnie Darko!
Donnie Darko Wins WOHOOO! ....and now we wait🥶😅
Donnie Darko is such a strange and interesting movie. I hope it wins!
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
Pretty sure she has. She gets the references to it in other movies
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.
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.
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.
really hope donnie darko doesnt win lmao what a nothing movie WAR OF THE WORLDSSS
I was just thinking of Donnie Darko this past weekend.
I hope Sunshine (sci-fi) makes it on your list sometime.
Some good choices in there.
Well, my pick is losing again. 🤦♂️
If you watch Donny Darko, I strongly recommend the Director's Cut. It's a lot more understandable.
thanks for the suggestion!
I'm hoping Darko wins! Close Encounters is "classic" - but that doesn't mean it's not pretty boring.
This list is missing Contact w Jodie Foster
Was just going on a 70s sci-fi deep dive. Close Encounters and A Clockwork Orange are indispensable.
Donnie darko for the soundtrackkk
Have you seen Forest Gump?
oh yes
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.
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.

Can we get annihilation in a poll? I would love to see you react to that
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.
Arrival any day of the week, one of my favourite sci fi movies✨✨✨
Love her but WHO is reccomending these????
Who is recommending widely seen and widely liked movies?
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.
I never seen Donnie Darko but I hear it’s a classic
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.
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.
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 💛
which "War of the Worlds"? the new one (with Tom Cruise) or the classic?
If Nats never seen Close Encounters, then I think we need to vote for that as it's a classic..
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 🙄)
Ik Donnie Darko will win I'm not even going to vote.
