Great list! Safe House ABSOLUTELY deserves to be a much bigger thing than it was, couldn't agree more. Same with Killer Joe as odd as it is, the ensemble cast really elevates it. Richard Jewell would be a good movie even if it hadn't actually happened, but it did, which just boggles the mind. Unlocked looks worth the time, Shadow and Kung Fu Hustle intrigue me a lot, as does Ink. The top two I've seen, really enjoyed, and Bound would make a good Gina Gershon double with Killer Joe.
The FBI really screwed over Albert Jewel. I was working for the Dept of State Diplomatic Security Service during the '96 Olympics. We assisted on the investigation, and conducted the search before the park re-opened. Our team lead at the Dept of State had word from the FBI that they knew it wasn't Jewel. They had a report of a guy stopping at a mom and pop gas station outside Atlanta the night before, bragging about keeping an eye on the news the following night. That man was Eric Rudolph. The only reason they kept investigating Jewel was to try to keep Rudolph in the area, but he was already long gone. Ruined Jewel's life, and he was a hero. I was there that night, it could have been so much worse.
Is it just me or it seems that American people are spoiled with dubbed movies? What a hell is wrong with original audio (and language) and just reading subtitle. I'm from Holland, I hate it when they are dubbing the movies in Dutch and instead of enjoying the voice of Liam Neeson I'm hearing the voice of some Hans or Kees figure..😁 Nothing beats the original audio.
I'm a fan of all of your videos, but I have to admit, I think this one is getting me the most excited for a lot of films I haven't seen or even heard of. Keep doing the work, and I'll keep watching! Thank you!
King Fu Hustle is one of my favourite movies. Tons of action and it’s hilariously funny. Shaolin Soccer is superb too which is another Stephen Chow classic.
So many great flicks! A few I haven't seen, and a bunch I loved but haven't seen in while. You just keep adding to the list of movies I need to watch. As always, thanks, Darren! Loved Goon and Ink, by the way.
Loved the way the movies are described. I remember watching Siskel and Ebert (yeah, I'm old) and how I new if I was going to like a movie or not, even if it was "Two Thumbs Down". That's the essence of a great movie critique or description. Well, gotta go, got a new watch list to watch. See ya later!
Ink. What a wonderful film by Jamin Winans, with a breathtaking finale. Also The Frame - by the same director - worth looking at. Thanks for the vid FC.
Darren I’m not seeing a few of these movies available on Prime. What am I doing wrong? It says “video currently unavailable” for Ink and the final Heath Ledger film. 🆘
Not sure who’s not an Idris Elba fan…and don’t want to know them! Lol I LOVE him!! I’ve been a huge fan of his for a long time…not cuz he’s gorgeous (HE IS!!!!) but he’s a great actor! Seems like a great man too
Well, we have decidedly different tastes. I have seen and liked "Unlocked" but I'll watch anything with Noomi Rapace. I marked down three others that I will give a look but the others were not my cup of tea. That's not a bad thing, viva la differance!
Darren, I love your content! I'm a big fan of weird movies and twists and turns. On another note, I love survival situations. I'm curious to know if you like anything from Gus Van Sant? I like the movie Gerry, with Matt Damon. Would you ever recommend that movie? 🤔
"Avengement" excellent. "Accident Man" great fun plus the sequel "Accident Man: Hitman's Holiday". "INK" fantasy with time dilation and a great mind blowing flick.
Killer Joe was an awesome movie. McConaughey was great in it, as well as the other actors. Def disturbed tho. Lot of other good movies on this list.. few that I haven't seen yet. Thanks!
Please never use cyber ghost VPN! I purchased it 2 years ago, i was charged $222, then tech support wanted access to my banking records to prove I paid and my ss #. Finally corrected it worked great. Then this year, tech support froze my account wanting to charge another $222 and asking for banking records and my ss # to prove I'm a member of their website. Odd coincidence! A couple of years ago and just this week I've been receiving security threats to my banking system. Hmm 🤔
I actually like native language with subtitles. I really hate voiceovers and have learned in my 7+ decades to read subtitles. (especially on fine anime which my youngest son got me hooked on)
@@CerealDust-nStuff Kino's Journey series is more like the old Twilight Zone, Bleach series is interesting with unusual characters, Howl's Moving Castle is a movie there's so many good Anime and it's all from a different, than western, line of thought.
I own Kung Fu Hustle, I like it so much. I discovered I can play the movie with subtitles and dubbing simultaneously and it's such a hoot! It's like the people in charge of subtitles and the people in charge of dubbing never even talked to each other to try and synch up what was being said! The result is hilarious confusion and I love it! Great list Darren!
I'm not sure if this is available on prime video in the USA, but how about "Pontypool" 2009 I watched based a recommendation from a friend the other night and it's great, great example of how even with small budget good acting and great script still is great film
A terrific list, as usual. I've seen most of these, mainly from Darren's recommendations, and they're all worth watching. Goon would make a great double feature with Slapshot, which stars Paul Newman. One of the things I loved about Avengement is that the main character isn't superhuman. It's similar to Nobody, which is also on Prime. Finally, I'd recommend the original Rollerball, starring James Caan, which has kind been forgotten about.
Saw it when it came out in 1975. Great show. I was on a course at the time with a guy that was the spitting image of James Caan. He was forever known after that as Jonathan E.
Only problem is Amazon Prime is absolute garbage. Terribly organized, full of bugs and glitches and it seems like everything requires an additional subscription now
Kung Fu Hustle is great! I’ve watched it many times. Richard Jewel is excellent. I recommend it. I enjoyed Goon and I know I saw Out of Time and liked it but it was too many years ago.
I remember the Richard Jewell story as it unfolded. I had colleagues at the station who said they still thought he did it (that's the irretrievable nature of a media character assassination). What changed their mine was when the FBI was shown returning his firearms on national television. I said, "Do you think there would be any chance of the FBI personally returning firearms on national television if there was a scintilla of doubt about his innocence? Take it in, this as close to a public apology you'll ever see from government agencies."
Kung fu Hustle is a class apart from most Kung Fu/Karate movies .. its great! It really is brilliant, like Jaws, or Silence of the Lambs - its a complete movie experience.

Richard Jewell, Killer Joe
Killer joe
No Tears for the Dying. Really good Korean action film....emotional as well

My fav line in Kung Fu Hustle “he could have been a doctor or a lawyer. No probably a stunt man”
I truly appreciate your videos. Your love of cinema shines through. My wife and I use your posts everytime we want to watch a move. Thank you!
What a G
Same here.
Suck up😊
Is it just me or it seems that American people are spoiled with dubbed movies? What a hell is wrong with original audio (and language) and just reading subtitle.

Flick Connection ALWAYS has movies for me to enjoy!
Thank you so much.
Kung Fu Hustle should be bigger than Star Wars and the MCU combined.
Bound is arguably the Wachowskis' best movie.
I mean Gershon & Tilly.... Hell yeah but imo it's not even in the same caliber as the Matrix
🤞for the extended cut of top gun! The middle of the movie was cut so bad. The back stories were way too rushed. Need a 4 hour version
I'm a fan of all of your videos, but I have to admit, I think this one is getting me the most excited for a lot of films I haven't seen or even heard of. Keep doing the work, and I'll keep watching! Thank you!
Thanks for giving KF Hustle some love
Kurt Russell did three fansticc movies that people never saw. Break Down, Soldier and Deep Blue
Killing it, I'm a big fan of Stephen Chow.
I found a vhs copy of Bound this weekend at a thrift store, was super stoked to finally find it in the wild
King Fu Hustle is one of my favourite movies. Tons of action and it’s hilariously funny. Shaolin Soccer is superb too which is another Stephen Chow classic.
Today I learned there are adults scared of subtitles
Terry Gilliam praised Stephen Chow, saying Kung Fu Hustle was great from the opening scene.
So many great flicks! A few I haven't seen, and a bunch I loved but haven't seen in while. You just keep adding to the list of movies I need to watch. As always, thanks, Darren! Loved Goon and Ink, by the way.
Goon is a great movie. Saw it a while ago.
I absolutely LOVE Safehouse. It was thrilling and epic. I'm baffled it isn't beloved and more respected.
Kung Fu Hustle is a classic! Love this movie!
“Out of Time” is one of my favorite movies. Edge of your seat movie.
Avengement is great. Didn’t even realize that was Scott Adkins in John Wick 4!
I haven't been this enthused about Prime Video in forever. Thank you! Subscribed.
Loved seeing Goon on this list, I had sort of forgotten about that movie.
Loved the way the movies are described. I remember watching Siskel and Ebert (yeah, I'm old) and how I new if I was going to like a movie or not, even if it was "Two Thumbs Down". That's the essence of a great movie critique or description. Well, gotta go, got a new watch list to watch. See ya later!
INK!! I *LOVE* that movie! Thank you very much for including it on a list!
Ink. What a wonderful film by Jamin Winans, with a breathtaking finale. Also The Frame - by the same director - worth looking at. Thanks for the vid FC.
Ink he been a favorite of mine for years. Absolutely love it.
Darren I’m not seeing a few of these movies available on Prime. What am I doing wrong? It says “video currently unavailable” for Ink and the final Heath Ledger film. 🆘
I think he forgot he left his VPN on :(
Not sure who’s not an Idris Elba fan…and don’t want to know them! Lol I LOVE him!! I’ve been a huge fan of his for a long time…not cuz he’s gorgeous (HE IS!!!!) but he’s a great actor! Seems like a great man too
Thank you very much. I really appreciate that you provide a list that I can save and look at later.
Great list! Bound slipped past me- looking forward to that
Avengement was a movie recommendation from Flick Connection that has sent me down the Scott Adkins rabbit hole. Thank you.
Well, we have decidedly different tastes. I have seen and liked "Unlocked" but I'll watch anything with Noomi Rapace. I marked down three others that I will give a look but the others were not my cup of tea. That's not a bad thing, viva la differance!

10:06 YOU HAVE A GHOST!!!
"Avengement" excellent. "Accident Man" great fun plus the sequel "Accident Man: Hitman's Holiday". "INK" fantasy with time dilation and a great mind blowing flick.
Parnassus reminds me of Salvador Dalí art............ he was reeeeeally weird too
I remember seeing breakdown in the theater it has a realistic story line
Killer Joe was an awesome movie. McConaughey was great in it, as well as the other actors. Def disturbed tho.
Lot of other good movies on this list.. few that I haven't seen yet. Thanks!
Where's Killer Joe? I've been trying every country with the VPN and it isn't showing up on any of them
Not seeing Killer Joe included with Prime. It shows up as available to rent or free with Freevee which is an edited version.
I like Denzel but I just don't buy him as an Action star..Sorry...PS:...the Girl singing the National anthem in Goon Scene is the best!!!
Yeh ..not available on Prime in Australia ..only for rent or buy
Most of these are/were hardly hidden or unknown!!
Is Richard jewel the guy from the plane video where he tells the mom he's not trading seats?!
Goon and Goon 2 were amazing!!
Bound was awesome!!!
Scott Adkins is so underrated
Kung Fu Hustle....such an awesome movie!!!!!
"Everybody's favourite, Idris Elba..." I would like to be removed from this list ASAP
Kung fu Hustle is genius, part Jackie Chan, part Bugs Bunny, part Kung Fu Panda.
Love goon, Kung fu hustle, and bound
"LIFE OF PI"?!
Just watched #15. Not bad!
Ink has a great soundtrack, also done by the director/writer. Low budget art at its finest.
He beat me to Cujo, but with a lion...
INK is a great movie, really enjoyed it. Good music too.
Kung fu hustle 2 is coming out soon I can't f**king wait
I tried to like ink but meh
Oh sweet baby Jesus I love your content, always looking for your drops.
Why did you stop fixing up old cars? I liked that show, to a point. You should have payed Aaron the money he deserves.
Ink is the best movie ever.
Please never use cyber ghost VPN!

Ah, Kung Fu Hustle, watched it and then watched it again the next night - So much fun (wierd fun, but fun)
Thanks for giving KF Hustle some love
Kung Fu Hustle is one of my favorites!!
Kung fu hustle is an awesome movie
I actually like native language with subtitles. I really hate voiceovers and have learned in my 7+ decades to read subtitles. (especially on fine anime which my youngest son got me hooked on)
What is one or two of your favorite anime? I haven’t watched any yet.
@@CerealDust-nStuff Kino's Journey series is more like the old Twilight Zone, Bleach series is interesting with unusual characters, Howl's Moving Castle is a movie there's so many good Anime and it's all from a different, than western, line of thought.
I love the Nod you gave towards the Indie film 'Ink' it is so underrated. Also the soundtrack is a big part of that movie's allure.
Agreed! I watched 'Ink' and it made a big impact on me. And I bought the soundtrack. Definitely a must watch!
Kung fu hustle was great! That snake bite scene always makes me wheeze 😂😂😂
hahaha to the Kung Fu Hustle, one of my fav.too, unique in its way. Nice picks for this list, I like them all, some did not knew, keep it up
I own Kung Fu Hustle, I like it so much. I discovered I can play the movie with subtitles and dubbing simultaneously and it's such a hoot! It's like the people in charge of subtitles and the people in charge of dubbing never even talked to each other to try and synch up what was being said! The result is hilarious confusion and I love it! Great list Darren!
I can also recommend one of Stephen Chow's other movies, Shaolin Soccer. If you enjoyed Kung Fu Hustle, Shaolin Soccer is also well worth seeing.
Jon Hamm plays such a prick in Richard Jewell.
Kung Fu Hustle also has one of the greatest scores in movie history. It's amazing.
Kang fu hustle is huge hit in India... Every late 90s anr early 20s kids in India watch this on tv.
I'm not sure if this is available on prime video in the USA, but how about "Pontypool" 2009 I watched based a recommendation from a friend the other night and it's great, great example of how even with small budget good acting and great script still is great film
Kung Fu Hustle at #1 for me
A terrific list, as usual. I've seen most of these, mainly from Darren's recommendations, and they're all worth watching. Goon would make a great double feature with Slapshot, which stars Paul Newman. One of the things I loved about Avengement is that the main character isn't superhuman. It's similar to Nobody, which is also on Prime. Finally, I'd recommend the original Rollerball, starring James Caan, which has kind been forgotten about.
Rollerball rocks.
Jonathan E. baby!
Saw it when it came out in 1975. Great show. I was on a course at the time with a guy that was the spitting image of James Caan. He was forever known after that as Jonathan E.
Only problem is Amazon Prime is absolute garbage. Terribly organized, full of bugs and glitches and it seems like everything requires an additional subscription now
I would have loved if they would have made a second part to Kung Fu Hustle
Whoever made Ink also made another good one, I think it’s called Frame.
Kung Fu Hustle.
Shaolin Soccer.
Great times.
The original subtitled version of Kung-Fu Hustle is the only way to see the "why are we speaking English" joke.
Kung Fu Hustle is great! I’ve watched it many times. Richard Jewel is excellent. I recommend it. I enjoyed Goon and I know I saw Out of Time and liked it but it was too many years ago.
Kung Fu Hustle is just amazing. Shaolin Soccer is like a good double feature.
Classic
So true
Stephen Chow is awesome for humor and action.
I remember the Richard Jewell story as it unfolded. I had colleagues at the station who said they still thought he did it (that's the irretrievable nature of a media character assassination). What changed their mine was when the FBI was shown returning his firearms on national television.

Take it in, this as close to a public apology you'll ever see from government agencies."
Same here. The media is the enemy.
Kung Fu Hustle is a MASTERPIECE. Definitely going to check out Bound on your recommendation. Also fan of Out of Time...
I dont agree with all your choices in other episodes, , but in this episode. 100%%%... Killer Joe , Kung fu Hustle..all excellent!!
HAHAHA "The FBI can bungle up their jobs" HAHAHA, they do this shit on purpose.
Noomi Rapace is the most over rated actor working today. Ridley Scott gave her the proper ending in Alien Covenant.
beast was absolutely god awful. discredits the list and now makes the whole channel suspect. beast is that bad.
i'm mostly not joking.
Kung Fu Hustle is severely underrated!
It probably doesn't hurt that I have a thing for Juno Temple, but I LOVED Killer Joe! ;-)
Kung Fu Hustle is one of my all time favorite movies ever made.
@10:10 I think you have a ghost in the room playing with the lights (to the right, behind. The light string.)
THANKS
You know it
Beast... at one point, I was like... go ahead and eat the k1ds... LOL
I've watched Kung Fu Hustle at least half a dozen times...GREAT movie.
Kung fu Hustle is a class apart from most Kung Fu/Karate movies .. its great! It really is brilliant, like Jaws, or Silence of the Lambs - its a complete movie experience.
Most of these not included in Prime in the UK
