Another wonderful list. Gotta say, we have enjoyed so many of your suggestions that we somehow previously missed. The Guest and Middle Men are just two of these gems.
6 Underground is a great movie.. not great in that its " Apocalypse Now meets Fast n Furious".. its great in that you are entertained throughout the movie.. its not gonna win awards, but, really, its a few spots down from where i would put it.. ;-).. Striptease ?? .. its good, just for Demis Tata's... Alexander.. is pretty awesome.. critics trashing it aside.. Girl with the Dragon Tatoo trilogy.. is one of the best movie trilogies ever... bar none.. its just insanely good at every level.. and " I care, a lot".. i didnt Pikes character was supposed to be viewed with compassion.. i thought the exact opposite, in fact, you loathe her, and hope she truly " gets it " in the end.. just my take.. i loved her portrayal and thought she nailed it, as if she was a slimey Used Car Dealer taking advantage of little old ladies..and you wanted his ass busted up.. ;-)
Machete Kills all expectations too. I knew what I signed up for when I watched it, and it still went beyond what I was prepared for. Cant wait for Machete in Space!
I happened to watch the Guest before you recommended it. When I saw your original review on it I stated out loud to my computer how much I agreed with your take.
Alexander was a horrible movie. The main reason Alexander the Great (ATG) was such an important historical figure was that he was a military genius. But you don't see a hint of that in this movie. Apparently Oliver Stone thought the real reason ATG was important was that he liked to kiss other guys, because we see that a few times. And the ending is the WORST. Why did ATG conquer all this lands? So that people could be FREE! Of course! Aaaarrrgg!!!!
I had an exceptionally hard time watching “ I care a lot”. I actually said more than once while watching it are they actually expecting us to root for this piece of sh*t?!? But I think it ended appropriately.
Still weak even in the ending in my opinion. I wanted to get on board with the weird off the wall factor they were going for but there wasn't any reason to give a damn about any of those villainous characters. They didn't have an anti-hero qualities or even bothered to at least be likeable.
I've been reluctant to watch it. I live in a place that it actually happens, alot. It is truly bewildering to read the news when it is exposed. So many taken advantage of. Heartbreaking.
This is another of your best lists. I’m not kidding here. I watched at least half and though a few were just average, several were really good. Thanks for the recommends.
The Guest is Brilliant! SO under-known/rated!!! Several here at the beginning of the list that I need to check out! I know I'm late to this list, but I appreciate your efforts and lists Darren!
I love coming back to these older videos sometimes to re-remember good flicks that I either never got a chance to see at the time, or should maybe give a second viewing to. Thank you!
Not sure I care alot belongs in this list although it was interesting. Nocturnal Animals. I keep skipping this one, but since it’s on your list I’ll peep it out.
Daniel Craig movie Casino Royale followed the original James Bond book by Ian Fleming of the same name, with elements of the Ian Fleming James Bond book Moonraker. So this first movie with Craig as Bond followed Fleming's Bond, as did Dr. No, From Russia with Love and others of those Bond movies of the 60's.
It's perfectly legit to have a well-known character actor who always plays the same character. Look at the heyday of westerns: you know exactly what to expect from each of the supporting actors, and they are cast for that very purpose.
"'Skyfall' is maybe the best Bond movie ever made" What heresy is this? :D That aside, great list. Always seem to find a couple of new flicks to watch through your lists, and they rarely disappoint.
Couldn't get past the 20 minute mark. Stone has lost it, cashing the checks and phoning it in like Tarantino on his last two or three. Trash. 73 thumbs way down...
Hello there this is my first time posting to this channel and I have to say great content and great info so thank you very much. I do have a good question though, are you talking about the American version of Netflix or the Canadian one. The reason I ask is I live in Canada and I can't get some of the movies you have mentioned on this list. I would ask that you please reply if you can with an answer. Much respect to you and thank you.
I totally agree with you regarding “I care a lot”. When I saw the trailer for the film and saw how revolting Rosalind Pike’s character was, I too did not care a lot about what happened to her and in fact hoped she would suffer horribly.
I have just had that happen to an old friend from work. They stole her house and moneys, her family got nothing. Everyone is on it just like the movie. They even tried to keep me from seeing her at the place and even threatened to call the police on me when I became angry. She is at beginning stages of senility. I tried to get her to change the place, but she was so fooled that she would not take my advice. When they found out I was talking to her they changed her phone number and I can no longer talk to her. I spoke to a lawyer and he said she had signed away everything to her "sponsor" and gave her power of attorney. I don't know what else to do. I don't know her family much and they live in the Virgin Islands and I don't think they will do anything about it. I am so goddam mad!
Hey. Just wanted to thank you for recommending cyber ghost. I love the stuff that the uk has on netflix. I want to ask is there anywhere that I can see a list of content that Netflix has in other countries that are not in the u.s?
Polar The night comes for us Avengement Headshot The Raid Although I’m not sure they are all still on Netflix, there are some of my favorite violent and graphic films
"Point Blank and Payback" are both based on the book " The Hunter" from the Parker series of books, written by Richard Stark. you would read them, I think you'll get a kick out of them.
Donald E. Westlake ( aka Richard Stark ) also wrote Flashfire ( 2001 ) after he brought back the Parker character from hiatus. The movie "Parker" was based on that book.
isn't Training Day a remake of Bad Lieutenant? good list as always, ty Darren! consider dropping your member videos to us average joes after a month or two, couple vids i wanna watch there, but I'm poor!
I'm still around!!! Darren, this is a fantastic list of movies! This is like the ultimate adrenaline junkies movie dream list! Iv seen most of these but there are definitely a few on this list I have been holding out on. I think it's time to round off this list. Love the channel keep it up!
Please please review 'Withnail and I' probably the most British film ever. I'd like to hear an Americans perspective of it. I love it, a cult uk classic you've probably never heard of.
Would you consider doing a best-movies list specifically rated by women only? I would love to see what movies women of all ages consider the best, regardless of politics or age, etc. thanks
Thanks again for another cool flick list ,I'm actually getting pretty caught up with the films that make repeat appearances,Keep on watching the Good and the Bad, so you can tell us about the GOOD!
The 1967 version of Casino Royal is not considered James Bond/007 canon, and for good reason. It was never intended to be anything other than a comedy/spoof. Never Say Never Again (1983) isn't considered James Bond/007 canon either, as it's a remake of Thunderball (1965).
Is there a possibility this movies may be added to Netflix in the near future? I. Oldboy (2003) Korean Director: Park Chan-wook II.The Replacement Killers (1998) Director: Antoine Fuqua Have many more... this just a start😉😎🐯🤠🌸
I saw, "i care a lot" and i couldn't stand rosemund pikes character. That's what i loved about the movie that you actually hate her and didn't root for her, was happy when things happened to her. That's what you get, feeling for her character.
Is the list typed up somewhere? I watched the video, but I did not have a note pad writing down the titles that stood out to me. My god! I loved the movie The Guest. I watched it there to four years ago. I do not remember why I chose to watch it, but I loved it. I watched The Guest again last year. Fantastic.
Hey. I love your videos, most helpful indeed ;) The next time you do a video of free TH-cam picks, there are some Charles Bronson movies you should include; Chato's Land. He plays an indian on the run from a posse for killing the town sheriff in self defense He literally only says 7 words in the whole movie. A lot of stars in the posse. (There's a rape scene that's a little tough to watch) Red Sun. Toshiro Mifune is in this. Bronson and his gang rob a train, Bronson gets double crossed. He and Mifune join forces reluctantly to track him down, each for their own reasons The Mechanic. Bronson plays a hitman showing Jan-Michael Vincent the ropes. AMAZING ending Also a Paul Newman movie called Sometimes A Great Notion based on a Ken Kesey novel. Loaded with stards.. Henry Fonda, Richard Jaekel, Michael Sarrazin... completely overlookedKeep up the good work ;)
Parker takes place sometimes in Covington, Ky set as backwards hillbilly town. Covington is directly across from Cincinnati, OH and is completely urban. Lol
That you thought PARKER was a rip off of POINT BLANK / PAYBACK is funny, unintentionally. Both are based on the Parker books by Richard Stark, among the best crime fiction of the 20th C. If you read, they’re effing great.

“The guest” recommendation was what made me a fan and subscribe to the channel! Absolutely spot on. Thank you
So glad to see The Guest on the list. It's a superb film!
I see so many of these lists made by someone who just watches movies. Your breakdowns prove that you are a true and educated FILM fan
The car “chase” scene In Nocturnal Animals still haunts me to this day, 2 months after I watching. Amazing memorable, dark movie
Machete Kills all expectations too. I knew what I signed up for when I watched it, and it still went beyond what I was prepared for. Cant wait for Machete in Space!
he will be up there with jason and leprachaun.
Your take on movies is scalpel accurate. When I have watch a movie on your list, your take is exactly what I thought while watch it.
I happened to watch the Guest before you recommended it. When I saw your original review on it I stated out loud to my computer how much I agreed with your take.
Soundtrack has a very ‘Drive’ feel to it.
LGBT - We demand more representation in films !
Film critic - (mentions lesbians)
LGBTQ - (Greta VOICE) HOW DARE YOU !!
Just watched The Guest. Great actioner. Thanks for the suggestion. Look forward to more.
Gotta say this is probably my favorite list you've done. Great list! Gonna watch all of em!
Alexander was a horrible movie. The main reason Alexander the Great (ATG) was such an important historical figure was that he was a military genius. But you don't see a hint of that in this movie. Apparently Oliver Stone thought the real reason ATG was important was that he liked to kiss other guys, because we see that a few times. And the ending is the WORST. Why did ATG conquer all this lands? So that people could be FREE! Of course! Aaaarrrgg!!!!
6 underground should be #1. That movie was awesome. Looking forward to a sequel.
I had an exceptionally hard time watching “ I care a lot”. I actually said more than once while watching it are they actually expecting us to root for this piece of sh*t?!? But I think it ended appropriately.
Still weak even in the ending in my opinion. I wanted to get on board with the weird off the wall factor they were going for but there wasn't any reason to give a damn about any of those villainous characters. They didn't have an anti-hero qualities or even bothered to at least be likeable.
@@Amrylin1337 I agree. Maybe that’s what they were going for, but it just kind of pissed me off
I've been reluctant to watch it. I live in a place that it actually happens, alot. It is truly bewildering to read the news when it is exposed. So many taken advantage of. Heartbreaking.
I literally said the same thing, that movie actually made me so mad that I felt sick.
The Guest is a GREAT recommendation. We need to see a lot more of Dan Stevens.
I thought he was great in Legion.
Thanks Richard Rawlings! BTW love your car show.
Your lists are always spot on and I plan on watching at least half of these movies; some for the 3rd or 4th time.
Thank you. Love your channel.
I really appreciate you making these video's, mate. Knowing you do this solo is admirable. I have found some great movies through your channel.
"Alexander" starring Rosario Dawson's bare chest.
I like 6 underground because of its action sequences
This is another of your best lists. I’m not kidding here. I watched at least half and though a few were just average, several were really good. Thanks for the recommends.
The Guest is Brilliant! SO under-known/rated!!! Several here at the beginning of the list that I need to check out! I know I'm late to this list, but I appreciate your efforts and lists Darren!
War Dog is the movie that made me a Jonah Hill fan, he was awesome!! and Training Day is Denzel's best performance ever in my opinion!
I have got to see the “The Guest”. I like your picks. I will make time to see it this weekend. Good afternoon. Have a nice day.
Okay never saw "the guest".. it had a Sunday afternoon movie feel, but awesome indy sound track, great suggestion. Loved it.
Great list!👍
I love coming back to these older videos sometimes to re-remember good flicks that I either never got a chance to see at the time, or should maybe give a second viewing to. Thank you!
I love the Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, a fantastic "what, who" murder mystery movie, but viewer must be able to handle very gruesome details
But the remake doesn't hold a candle to the original with Noomi Rapace.
Brilliant List. Definitely the sort of movies i am a fan of. Great presentation as well. Subscribed & looking fwd to more content
Polar is a case study on how to under-act and do it great!
Not sure I care alot belongs in this list although it was interesting. Nocturnal Animals. I keep skipping this one, but since it’s on your list I’ll peep it out.
Daniel Craig movie Casino Royale followed the original James Bond book by Ian Fleming of the same name, with elements of the Ian Fleming James Bond book Moonraker. So this first movie with Craig as Bond followed Fleming's Bond, as did Dr. No, From Russia with Love and others of those Bond movies of the 60's.
Savages definitely belongs on this list like top 5 and The Guest....favorite movie recommendation you gave!
The funniest line "I SO had the right of way!"
Hey Darren Van Damme this is everbody!
Still love your videos D after all these years your suggestions are still on the mark.
Darren Van Damme has does a lot recently to help struggling urban neighborhoods I think everyone should take a minute and show appreciation
It's perfectly legit to have a well-known character actor who always plays the same character. Look at the heyday of westerns: you know exactly what to expect from each of the supporting actors, and they are cast for that very purpose.
The Guest was done in 2014... great movie
Thanks for the list
"'Skyfall' is maybe the best Bond movie ever made"
What heresy is this? :D
That aside, great list. Always seem to find a couple of new flicks to watch through your lists, and they rarely disappoint.
lmao Casino Royale is far better
I completely agree that Training Day is a fantastic movie! I still haven't seen The Guest, so I'll make that one a priority!
I'll try again with "The Guest" -- started slow like you said, but I'll keep watching. Thanks! Great List!
Okay, Just watched this then The Guest. That is a crazy movie and a great recommendation.
Totally agree about ‘I Care A Lot’
Spot-on with your review about the guests can't believe I haven't seen it before it was dope
Dragon Tattoo is a must see... all of it...
Is that MAKEUP AND VANITY SET you're using for the background music? If so AWESOME!
Indeed it is
Is that the intro song?
These are my fave lists. Thanks!
Good Crypto Benefits can only be secure when you are trading with a professional like #PROF STAVEN
I added Rogue City to my watch list. Thanks Darren 😉🤩💖
NETFLIX added "Savages" while I was editing this video but it certainly belongs on this list too!
Totally agree. Love the poppiness and contrast of the two main characters.
Couldn't get past the 20 minute mark. Stone has lost it, cashing the checks and phoning it in like Tarantino on his last two or three. Trash. 73 thumbs way down...
@@hugh-johnfleming289 Maybe you'd like it more if you didn't watch as a critic and just enjoyed it purely for entertainment value.
I agree! Taylor Kitsch played a hard ass gangster role very well. I haven't seen Savages in a long time but his role I very much remember. 👍👍
@@hugh-johnfleming289 Tarantino "phoned it in on his last two or three"?
Really??? Hahaha 🤣🤣🤣 WOW! That critique is new to me....
Solid list, as always DVD. I think you've finally convinced me to watch What Keeps You Alive.
Best thing about Casino Royale is Eva Green, she's gorgeous, amazing green eyes.

The Guest was a hit with my wife. Your recommendation made me look like a movie picking god! 😆
"Come on, you're bleeding on my carpet ... you know this stuff was just business, don't you?"
I totally agree with you regarding “I care a lot”. When I saw the trailer for the film and saw how revolting Rosalind Pike’s character was, I too did not care a lot about what happened to her and in fact hoped she would suffer horribly.

I watched “The Guest” just now. I loved the movie. Great reveal. Thank you for your help. Goodnight 😴
Great touch printing the movie titles on screen... wish you’d have done that back in the day !!! Cheers
Thank you so much for the trigger warning. Watching a movie should be an experience, not a horror flashback. God bless
Hey! I just watched the Mandela effect and it was actually good!! Any chance you have already put it on a list? If not please consider it!!
The guest is a modern masterpiece and seeing adam wingard finally getting love with godzilla vs kong is just the sherry on top
Polar
The night comes for us
Avengement
Headshot
The Raid
Although I’m not sure they are all still on Netflix, there are some of my favorite violent and graphic films
Maybe cover a "Sex, Blood & Bullets" low-budget Indie film series...where great directors, actors got their start?
I Care a Lot is the best movie I’ve seen in years!
For it's type of movie. Agreed. Absolutely loved it.
Parker is the character from Point Blank. It's not 'like' it, it is IT.
"Why are you all shiny?" My absolute favorite exchange from Striptease.
"Point Blank and Payback" are both based on the book " The Hunter" from the Parker series of books, written by Richard Stark. you would read them, I think you'll get a kick out of them.
Thanks...

Oof. Alexander was laugh-out-loud terrible.
But the rest of the list was great!
"Office ? There ain't no office, baby" ..
Totally right about 'The Guest'.
I bought a Triumph because The girl with the dragon tattoo and yes, Demi Moore was straight smoking
Girl with the Dragon Tattoo was intensely good.
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is REALLY good
I just watched Nocturnal Ghost. That's a very good movie. I enjoyed it.
WATCH THE GUEST!!!
Machete kills tittie gun is straight out of an anime movie.😂😎
Thanks again for another cool flick list ,I'm actually getting pretty caught up with the films that make repeat appearances,Keep on watching the Good and the Bad, so you can tell us about the GOOD!
The 1967 version of Casino Royal is not considered James Bond/007 canon, and for good reason. It was never intended to be anything other than a comedy/spoof.
Never Say Never Again (1983) isn't considered James Bond/007 canon either, as it's a remake of Thunderball (1965).
Gave up on the Guest 20 min in a few years ago. I’ll have to go back and give it another try.
Disagree about 6 Underground.....absolutely awesome movie. Very fun. A sequel is coming, but quite a way down the road because Reynolds is so busy.
Polar was awesome!
Is there a possibility this movies may be added to Netflix in the near future?
I. Oldboy (2003) Korean

Norsemen is pretty good! Freya: "The baby's yours, isn't it?" Arvid: "No, Hildur didn't reach her climax- so, the baby can't be mine."
This Nocturnal Animals opening sequence has some heavy symbolism
“Heavy” being the keyword lol 😣
I saw, "i care a lot" and i couldn't stand rosemund pikes character. That's what i loved about the movie that you actually hate her and didn't root for her, was happy when things happened to her. That's what you get, feeling for her character.
Is the list typed up somewhere? I watched the video, but I did not have a note pad writing down the titles that stood out to me.
My god! I loved the movie The Guest. I watched it there to four years ago. I do not remember why I chose to watch it, but I loved it. I watched The Guest again last year. Fantastic.
Well, heck, after I posted my comment I found the list down below. Whoopsie.
As a gay man, I appreciate your “lesbian characters” in the film comments. Makes me want to watch! Thanks for including us.
I have seen just about every worthwhile movie ever made. How is it that I've never even heard of The Guest??
Richard Rawlings lookalike! First time I've seen one of your videos, the likeness to Richard Rawlings from the Fast and Loud TV show is striking.
In the movie The Guest, Dan Stevens looks a lot like Cam Gigandet
Another great list, Darren. Many thanks for your input. Really polished and compelling. Take care and stay safe. Look forward to next presentation 😀👍👌
Thanks for your comment i will advice you to invest in crypto with manager Steven welson and earn huge profits.
