I've mentioned here and there that Mr. Robot is my favourite TV series of all-time. Very dramatic, incredibly rewatchable, the score is perfection, the cinematography is fab, the acting is superb, the writing is chefs kiss. I could go on and on. I just recently finished doing a watch party of the whole show in my Discord server and I'm on my fourth watch now with James vs. Cinema who is doing reactions to it for his channel.

You all recommend movies and shows to me a ton and while I have a big list I could throw back at you as well, this will always be a #1 recommendation from me. 🥳

Big thank you to Tyler for letting me know that Sam Esmail (writer and creator of the show) has a Mr. Robot Companion List on his Letterboxd account and he has said that all of these influenced him when creating the show and it could be neat for a poll!

All of the options in Sam's list are in this poll except for: movies I've seen before, documentary-style films, foreign films, TV series and films that require a TV viewing before seeing it, and movies that are part of a series that I've already started reactions to.

Since there are so many options, this poll is not only MULTIPLE CHOICE, but I'm also opening it up to the public. Unfortunately YouTube only allows us to have 5 options max in a poll.

Please pick ALL of the movies you'd want to see a reaction to. Multiple choice polls are best when there's more votes.

This poll will end a week from today. ✌️

Happy Voting!

It's not on this list and there's no guarantee that you'll even watch the original yet (although I imagine anything hitting 40+ votes in this poll is a strong contender for the channel), but if you do watch Trainspotting (1996), I hope you also watch the sequel, T2 Trainspotting (2017), which for my money belongs in the top 10 of movies (and one show) that are part of the recent trend of "legacy sequels" made decades later (ala The Force Awakens). A really wonderful movie that was worth the wait and does a great job of skewering the aggressive nostalgia that makes so many of these sorts of movies feel like they're just reliving the past.

Everyone does Goodfellas and very few do Close clockwork. If you are looking for a movie that. Exemplifies the Hollywood studio system, then do Michael Clayton
