Great run down as always Darren, always appreciate your enthusiastic take on movies. I can usually tell, without fail (although I've been pleasantly surprised before), which movies I'm interested in by your brief synopsis. You don't give spoilers, but describe feel, cinematography, pacing... Exactly what I'm looking for. With sooooo much content these days, what you do is absolutely necessary! We are privileged to have someone like you and this channel, that can cut thru the noise and provide solid watch lists. Don't ever stop!

When it comes to dark, gripping and unique movies, you're the one to go to, Darren. I've put half of them on my watchlist and I didn't need to see the trailers. Just a glimpse of the flicks' setting and the way you talk about them are enough to have me sold! Your recommendations are hitting more accurately than any algorithm could ever do. Thanks Darren!

@Flick Connection hey chief I can’t thank you enough for the little disclaimers you drop. I watch a ton of movies with my 12 year old, and you help me dodge a ton of extreme stuff. My favorite KZfaq channel period!!!!

Darren you have a gift for picking great flicks to watch, this list is full of great new ones for me.🤟

watched "Leave No Trace" in the theater when it was released in a cool indie theater in Houston and was definetly eye opening and i was in awe of how beautifully it was done - it's absolutely slow but the story is so good I never felt like it lulled.

The last castle is amazing, Robert Redford and James acting is out of this world, you will not be disappointed 👍👍

Dude, I have a relatively short list of KZfaq “channels”, but you are one of my favorites. Cheers!

Well done Darren…I’m glad you like the wired side of filmography. Thanks for the heads up on these picks man.

Another great video but more importantly, much needed as we all spend way too much time going through the listings on streaming services, so thank you for the service you provide! Also, I'm glad you rated Only Lovers Left Alive so highly, I like most of the films by Jim Jarmusch but I really liked Only Lovers.... and as you said, it may be his most accessible.

What a particularly great list! Usually, there are 4 or 5 titles on your lists that are new discoveries for me. This one has 18 that I've never seen before...it's a jackpot (or brass teapot, depending on how good they all end up being lol). Thanks for all the hard work and vibrant energy you put into your videos 😎

I'll just write one thing for this particular video, Only Lovers Left Alive being virtually ignored years back still irks me. I mean I remember seeing that that movie the week it opened locally here in Brooklyn and within two weeks it was out of that mom and pop somewhat indie movie house. Its a slow burn, but so much fun if you want to see a different type of Vampire film because unlike something like Twilight, Interview With A Vampire that kind of is filled with cliches you get a different perspective on what it really would be like to live forever. The characters reminisce about fratenizing with historical figures and celebs, spending hundreds of years doing the same hobbies, plus they have problems that all of us have but for centuries. Like trying to avoid annoying people. For example Mia Wisaowski i think played the sister of Tilda Swinton memorably and Hiddelston's character can't stand her. The vamps also face 21st century problems that make it harder to be a Vampire in the modern era. For example Hiddelston needs to almost daily get a human to steal fresh blood for him from a bank because good blood and victims are harder to come by then ever. They are forced to suck blood pops in order to keep feeding. One character's human boyfriend becomes dinner because he's right there. There s actually a good love story between Stinton and Hiddelston's characters that has lasted for centuries so it's sort of a horror/black romantic comedy with dramatic elements. The performances are very good, the characters are likeable and memorable and it's probably one of Jim Jarmusch's best movies. Not to alienating for commercial audiences but still appealing to the indie film crowd.

I have only seen four of the movies on this list but I added four to my watchlist that I've never seen/heard of before. You consistently give great recommendations and I truly appreciate it.

Only Lovers Left Alive was the movie that got me to start paying attention to Swinton and Hiddleston.

I know they were trying to make a Nathan Fillion Day in Canada. People were signing a petition. I think he's an total under rated actor. Love this video I put some of these movies on my watch list. 🎞️🎥🎬

Goon is the perfect movie to kick back and enjoy with friends. So much fun!

I've seen several of these, but what an eclectic list!

Only Lovers Left Alive is one of my favorite films, I love the subtle humor in it!

Lords of Dogtown is one of my favorite movies. Fantastic ♥️♥️♥️

I was just watching one of your older videos over prime for tonight’s movie night !!! Perfect timing!!

Not only is this another great list by DVD bit I also found a few gems by people in the comments. Thanks to all.

Love your vids man keep it up you have def opened up my eyes to some greatly looked over gems specially your choices of types and generes

Centurion is based on a true story. The Roman arrogance not understanding that even though the Goths often warred with each other, they still saw themselves as blood kin. There's much written on the Goth tracker that deliberately lead the Romans into the scariest and densest part of the woods for ambush, and the psychological torment the Goths used against them. They could've taken them out immediately, but spent days making noises in the night to crush their spirits before actually defeating them. If I can remember some of the places I've read about this, I'll come back and update the post

Another great list! Thanks for some more movies!

Pulled me in with the retro intro, subscribed a few weeks ago. Love his content.

Boy oh boy "come to daddy" will wreck your day if you aren't prepared! there's a handful of these that I'd considered and wasn't sure on, but your descriptions and recommendations are pretty on point. I really appreciate that you give a basic "what its about" on these without spoilers. It gives a really good idea of what I've got coming my way if I hit play on these.

Love this content concept. Thanks for helping guide me to better Cinema.

Oh my god the taking of deborah logan really freaked me out , the final 10 minutes was crazy. I had forgotten the name of this movie and have been looking all over for it . You'll never forget it .

“For people who like weird stuff” Yes please

Some great recommendations, Darren. Bless you for this. Catch you on your next presentation and take care 😀😀😀

What I love about Darren's reviews is that he is a true movie fan and not some self-righteous, faux intellectual critic. Keep them coming!

Thank you for this list, Darren, I will be watching a couple of these for sure. One thing I wanted to mention, as I didn't see anyone mention this in the comment section, is that the time stamps (which are appreciated) are off for some of these movies. There are multiple movie titles in single time stamps, so you can't really use the time stamps to look through the movies.

GOON!!! Even if you don't care about hockey or sports, in general, it's a wonderful story about an underdog finding his calling, contains plenty of laughs, and has a ton a TON of heart. Dont let the hockey stop you from watching this because it's way more than just a sports film. EDIT: also, Sean William Scotts and Liev Schreiber's characters don't hate each other. There's a mutual respect but know the roles that they play for their teams means they will inevitably clash. And neither will give any quarter nor would they want each other to. It's the quintessential 'unstoppable force meets an immovable object' scenario and it's filmed absolutely brilliantly.

Always glad when I have seen a few these hidden gems. Looking forward to some more fossicking.

great list. thank you

Just watched only Lovers Left alive the other night. I am a huge Tilda swinton and Tom Hiddleston fan, so for me this was an incredible movie. A really different take on vampires. Anton was great in it as well and of course John hurt goes without saying. Love loved loved this one.

First time I have seen your reviews. Excellent work.

I enjoy and appreciate all of your reviews. Subscribed of course.

Awesome selects. And hell yes, The Insider. Bruce McGill screaming WIPE THAT SMIRK OFF YOUR FACE might be my favorite delivery of any line ever.

Best movie channel out there! Keep up the great work

It is so satisfying to see Thunderbolt and Lightfoot get some love after so long.

And The Brass Teapot I saw when it was released. An absolute gem.

You are doing god's work my guy. In the past 3 months I have discovered some awesome movies all thanks to you. Just watched The disappearance of Alice Creed and Ravenous. Both amazing movies.

Wonderful list. You continue to impress. I really want to see Centurion being a Roman history junkie and I never heard of it. Can't wait. Good job.

Leave No Trace and Come to Daddy are two of my absolute favorite movies!

Looking forward to watching about 8 or 10 of these. I've never seen Thunderbolt and Lightfoot and have always wanted to. It's directed by Michael Cimino who also directed The Deer Hunter, Year of the Dragon, The Sicilian and another excellent but "criminally overlooked" (to use your words) film called Sunchaser with Woody Harrelson and Jon Seda. Great stuff!

As always great list DVD, you recommended Only Lovers Left Alive on another video, it scratched the itch when I found myself in an art film mood. Thanks

The actress playing Debra Logan made me believe everything, and as a huge horror fan, that is not easy to do. I saw the lost, scared woman in the early stages of dementia, that look of fear and of masking that anything might be wrong. That alone was very well done and makes you sympathize with her. And then I saw the terrifying woman . . . Madness? Dementia? Worse? watch it. I have, at least 3 times because you pick up more each time. Any good movie demands 2 viewings. The better the movie, the more though miss out on by viewing it only once.

LORDS OF DOGTOWN is directed by Stacy Peralta, who is a character in the film. It is based on his doc (same title) about the beginnings of the Cali Skating scene.

Great video. Lately I have been watching Prime Video for unknown action films. Most are horrible, but I don’t regret wasting 2 hours of my time. Thank you for your blood, sweat and tears. Good morning 🌞

Loved Centurion, introduced me to Michael Fassbender, Dominic West & Olga Kurylenko all at the same time when it came out

I've seen 5 on this list - 2 good, 3 great. White God is one of my all time favorite films. I'm looking forward to checking out the other 15. Thanks!

That's a good set of picks, your backing music gets a bit OTT at times btw, good job buddy

In DVD we trust!! Ty Darren!!!

Dude, True Romance...........Guys will ignore this title 10 out of 10 times but it is WILD and one of the best action flicks you can watch.

Goon was so unexpectedly good. I was like pfft hockey movie?! But yeah Goon great rec 👍

Darren, thanks again for more picks. You are like the guy at Blockbuster telling me what I should be watching.

Arron. Im a huge movie buff.. I love your channel and believe I have seen most of all your recommendation videos. But I think I found a hidden gem you havnt yet mentioned in Prime Video. Its called Small Apartments. And I never expected it to be has good as it was. I definitely didn't expect all the great cameos. Keep doing what your doing, and ill keep liking it.

JCVD is low key great and has some unexpected dark humor.

If you're not watching Korean movies. You're missing out big time!

Alan Partridge is the greatest comedy character of the last 20 years or so

Lots of interesting suggestions, Darren. I'll be sure to check them out based on your stamp of approval.

I LOVED Permanent Midnight. I need to watch that again

The Last Castle ! 👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️

As soon as you said Rutger Hauer, “Hobo” was on my list😜👍🏻

I LOVE Baytown Outlaws. Seen it at least a dozen times.

Leave No Trace is soooo good. I saw it when it came out

oh man this guy is soooooo good!!! i will watch anything he recommends!!! my favorite movie reviewer!!!! :)

I love the last castle it's formulaic but very well done.

centurion is a masterpiece of powerful performances by an amazing cast with inspiring cinematography and direction, and a compelling story that is very rewarding

The thinking mans Richard Rawlings. Great content

The brass teapot was an excellent surprise back when it came out. The two young actors (i forget their names) are so good it was a shame they didnt continue to make great movies like this

Love the insider

Lords of Dogtown one of my all-time favorite movies! ❤️

Save Leave No Trace and The Castle at the theater when they came out. The girl in Leave No Trace was really good.

"These dogs don't talk" 🤣

Hobo With A Shotgun was everything it promised. I'd seen it from an earlier recommendation of yours, and still think it's a great movie for it's genre.

JCVD is awesome! I’m definitely going to check out several of these titles.

Only Lovers Left Alive is one of my favorite movies.

Hey Darren I know this comment is late, but I watched White God the other night and, I can't get it out of my head! This is a haunting movie for anyone who loves dogs. I did not expect it to go in the direction that it ultimately went in the end. A very good movie, but brutal.

Brass teapot is a personal favorite

To say JCVD has nothing “too heavy” in it means you missed the best scene in the whole movie. I know his monologue made you cry. Just admit it!! Love your content man. Keep killing it. We have the same taste in just about everything!

The Taking of Deborah Logan was terrifying at the end

Only Lovers Left Alive is like drool-worthy🤤 😁

Goon was incredible. Can't believe I had never heard of that.

Best recommendations ever!! Thank you Darren...

Baytown Outlaws is a great movie. Love it.

Thunderbolt and Lightfoot?!!? Wow, that movie was a drive-in double-feature with Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger when I was a kid, after Sinbad I was supposed to go to sleep while my parents watched the second feature, but I watched from between the seats secretly!

St Vincent with Bill Murray... a wonderful film.. drama.. underrated.. marvelous performances... his usual touch of dark comedy, with a much more dramatic undertone as it progresses, you get immersed in his character, as well as the young kid who see's him as a father figure he never had.. just an outstanding movie i never hear or see anything about.

I've seen The Taking of Deborah Logan probably over a year or so ago and loved it. I would love to see you recommend more paranormal horror movies if you've seen any of them.

Goldstone...........Thanks Mate! And will definately be checking out Only Lovers Left Alive. Love Tilda Swinton

Centurion is absolutely brilliant!

I wanted to suggest the movie First Love. It's a Japanese yakuza/what did I get into to/noir feeling movie, that's just over the top with some great action and world building. And it's by Takashi Miike, the director of Blade of the Immortal and Ichi the Killer.

Baytown Outlaws is vey underrated and I feel like you're not giving it enough credit! I feel like it's the little cousin of Boondock Saints!

Love the intro musick!

Thanks for putting JCVD on here. Really good movie.

Centurion is one of my all time favorites 👍 I really liked Only Lovers Left Alive because it was so different. I plan on watching Goldstone & Thunderbolt and Lightfoot. I know I've seen The Insider but it's been so long it's time to watch it again.

Goldstone is a sequel to the film Mystery Road which is equally as good.

I absolutely loved Taking of Deborah Logan, they did such a good job, Deborah was so chilling in the movie... just so fun.

What to watch when high......nice list
