I'm your host, Darren Van Dam!
Tired of looking for good movies to watch on Netflix, Amazon Prime or other streaming services? Every week I recommend a handful of the best movies on Netflix, Amazon, HBO etc. so my subscribers never run out of good movies to watch on streaming. Spending 10 minutes watching one of my videos could save you hours of searching, hours that you could otherwise spend watching good movies on streaming that you otherwise might not have ever watched or even known about.
Thanks for watching!

Re: "the good nurse"..I was a traveling nurse at the time these murders occurred and was working in the southeast of PA during the years he was active. After watching, I was so thankful that he wasn't at the same facilities when I was working there. Talk about goosebumps!

Based on Darin's recommendation, I watched Wind River. And yeah, this is the kind of work Jeremy Renner should be doing. Not dressed in a leather suite arrows at a CGI villain. In fact, he's just too good for that. The man can carry an entire scene without saying a word. He's that good. If you're a fan of Yellowstone you'll see some familiar faces for an obvious reason.

I just want you to know how much these reviews are appreciated! It gets difficult to find something to watch these days, it's "between seasons" for the series, and so many of the movies are geared to younger watchers. I always get at least a handful of possibilities from you! Thank you for your hard work!

@lmrk5705 10 ай бұрын

Some excellent recommendations here. The Stranger is truly exceptional. Sean Harris is absolutely brilliant, considering his British I don’t think people appreciate just how hard it is to pull off a perfect Australian accent. I knew watching this movie, which crime it was based on, but it nevertheless had me on the edge of my seat as the tension just keeps ramping up. Other than changing the names, and the dates everything else is spot on.

I saw Captain Phillips in the theater and wasn't really expecting much. Imagine my surprise at the end of two hours to realize I'd been holding my breath the whole time. I've honestly never seen a movie that sucks you in and holds you from almost the first few minutes of the film.

Great video with some solid choices. But you left out True Spirit which is based on Jessica Watson's book. She is the youngest person to circumnavigate the globe nonstop and unassisted. She was 16. Its a very inspirational movie.
