Wow putting Serpico in the bottom 10?!?!?! Yeah, it was one of the best early roles for Pacino PLUS being a true story of dirty cops and the guy that barely lived through getting them exposed.
Thank You For Smoking is a super plus in my book. I listened to the book on tape when I was travelling a lot and laughed my butt off.
And The Limey, excellent choice for the top pick, truly.
IMDB links
Heya Bud, I'm a movie nut like you, but I'm not open to ask for 2 hours back for my lifetime. You do it for us and you do it great.
So, I have a list of great western and westernishness. What's yours...? Also It would be great to see your top 20 military? BTW Serpico is a must watch.
Thank you! ❤
About that name of the perfume "Brioni", Brioni is an island or few small islands, beautiful islands in the Adriatic sea where Josip Broz Tito, the leader of Yugoslavia had his private residence. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brijuni
Red Planet was a sleeper movie. Stellar cast. Carrie-Ann Moss Val Kilmer, Tom Sizemore. Terrance Stamp. Simon Baker and Benjamin Bratt.
Loved it,also ..
Wow wonder why a 14% on Rotten Tomatoes?
@@bySterling rotten Tomatoes gets things wrong alot figure out what you like and don't relay on them !
Gonna need a few drinks to get through Buried. I survived a month long coma where I could hear & feel everything happening to me. I had no way of communicating that I was aware of everything, so I was basically trapped inside my own paralyzed body. Due to my traumatic experience I have some pretty terrible PTSD, claustrophobia & other similar phobias, like being Buried alive. I use movies like buried, ones that trigger tf out of me, as a sort of therapy. It's a safe way to face my fears & feel I have some sense of control. That, & I have an extensive living will & incaseshit plan. But seriously, if you have a fear, phobia, PTSD, etc... I recommend talking to a therapist if possible first & foremost, but also mention the idea of using movies as a way to face your fears. While I am still affected by my traumatizing experiences, I've definitely seen a major improvement & can control my response when triggers happen. Wishing all the best. ❤
I freaked out and had to pause Buried several times in order to finish it. And the ending!!!!! Omg 😱
Hey, I know I am just out of the blue here, but just wanted to say I appreciate your work with these kinds of lists. Really solid, great recommends. Just appreciate your work here.
Right on
I Always find something to watch on these list. Prime is so hard to find stuff on. Thanks for doing the leg work.
"Unlike Netflix, you can't just switch [from the subtitled to dubbed] version" - Reason #399 why Amazon Prime's User Interface drives me freakin' nuts.
Just FYI, Thomas Janes is still kicking as a main character in The Expanse, arguably the top SyFy TV Series currently in it's 6th and final season on Amazon Prime.
Hey thanks
He is in that fine series, but he is hardly the main character, and when I left it, he was arguably dead... But, I knew he will come back in some manner...
@@ozymandiasnullifidian5590 in the first two seasons, he definitely was one of the main characters. The Expanse has gone down hill in the last two seasons, his return would help.
@@mopar_dude9227 Yes, he was... And I only watched 4 seasons... I thought it is over, I wasn't even aware that there are more seasons. Because of the realism and relative originality that became my favourite science fiction series.
@@mopar_dude9227 Too many books, too many movies, too many series, too much stuff on the net... I am gen. X and I remember when series, American series had 100, 200, 400 episodes. Many countries still produce such classic series, soap operas...for better or worse, we have for a while now this shorter series, I am not saying it is bad, but some that are good can be abruptly cut, like Firefly, and some that are more to the taste of the mediocre public can last for many seasons.
Mel Gibson. I watch for the characters acting. Don't judge movies on actor's private life.
If you look at actor's private life, you'd have to diss any of Alec ("I did not pull the trigger") Baldwin's movies.
I don't believe that was Alec's fault he was told it was a Cold Gun but only people who were in that room know what happened and so only they can judge him. lastly we have Innocent until proven Guilty in America and he Hasn't even been Charged but you think he's Guilty without even knowing the full details so he must be right ?!
If you're gonna watch Spun, buckle your seatbelt for a disorienting amount of cuts. It adds to the feeling of being spun out on meth but it can be overwhelming. An average film has about 1000 cuts... Spun has about 5400
Love your picks but I have to say Clifford was one of the worst films ever. Nobody in the theatre laughed. Lots of people left early, including us.
What is the hate on Gibson? He spoke his mind a fact just like Brando said 30 years before. He is one of the best directors and actors of this generation without question
I might be wrong but I believe there were leaked recordings of messages he left to his now ex-wife that were not only racist but threatening. Then I think he was pulled over for drunk driving and went on one of his anti-Semitic tirades. Hollywood has a lot of Jewish and gay people; it’s usually a bad idea to openly express disdain for any kind of minority that a certain field is saturated with. I believe Brando was more of a “I hate everyone” type which is more acceptable bc it’s not targeting individual groups that are frequently oppressed. But I could be wrong about all of this; I’m going off my memories instead of just googling.
@@courtneycallen Your recall is excellent, but it lacks one perspective. Gibson, while clearly stuck in some lifelong ungodly behaviors, is a strong Christian. Hollywood hates believers who promote Jesus. He shot himself in his foot a couple of times - but he was a target the Immoral Mob went after.
I personally love Mel Gibson. Love to see Get the Gringo on this list. You make the best film recommendation content out there…. Real quick, anyone see Blood Father with Gibson? That is my personal favorite of his recent work.
Blood Father is great.
Agreed, I think all his movies are gems!
I watched Blood Father on Netflix don't know if it's still on there but Loved the movie also really Liked Force Of Nature I would say Loved if they had showed the Tiger for more then 10 seconds I understand why we get fully CGIed Tigers and Lions no one wants to work with real cats anymore and it's better for the animals But only 10 secs of Tiger after that Build up besides that good movie also good Dragged Across Concrete !
@@mchamber366 oh man, Dragged Across Concrete is so freaking good. You’ve got good taste in movies!
@@FaithfulFightersMinistry Thank You ! Did you watch Force of Nature yet ?
Thomas Jane has one of the best South African accents ever Stander is great.
Get the Gringo is really good as well. I have heard people say that it is kind of a sequel Payback Mel's character name in that movie is never said on screen.
The Mickey Rourke speech in the uncut version of Spun is maybe my favorite monologue ever. I keep a clip of it saved on my watch later TH-cam list and watch it when I need a laugh.
The Outlander (2008) was a good movie so is the Limey
Knight and Day is such a great movie. Over the top fun, sublime humor.
Favorite line- Not cool dude.
I watched it for the 1st time a few months ago on cable TV and loved it can't believe I didn't watch it sooner !
I've seen it many times ❤
Mel Gibson's is a bad ass. He makes some of the best movies.
"Blood Father"!
You have such an articulate way about you that lends an exacting descriptive justice to the movies you critique. I've never seen a better movie critic, who also is not only spot on, but who has fantastic taste in flicks. Thank you for your acumen and efforts, Darren. You're always my go-to source for movies to watch.
I would rather watch these videos for 20 or 30 minutes...
then waist my time scrolling thru their lists...
This guy is a Pro (and has saved me more time than I can count)!!!
Spun is absolutely the closest you can get to knowing what it's like to be a tweeker without actually grinding down yourself.
Am I the only one who watches Darren's hidden gems list and get excited when he names a movie I have actually seen?
Edit: I feel like a moron. I just saw there’s a pinned message from the creator that is a full list of the movies in this. Please excuse my stupidity.
Nope! You’ve got company with me joining you! I got way too excited about Clifford being on the list! The only thing I wish these videos included was a list of all of them in the description; I try to jot down each pick as he goes along but I rarely succeed in making it happen because 1) I don’t think about grabbing something to write with or on until a movie I want to see is mentioned, and 2) I have 4 kids with 3 of them being extremely high maitenance who interfere with my entire existence. I have a severely developmentally disabled 18 year old son who is nonverbal and still in diapers, and 5 year old twin daughters who fight over EVERYTHING. Even when my oldest is pacified and busy playing with his iPad or toys and my twins are not arguing over which one of them is faster at putting socks on; one of them is guaranteed to need me for something and while performing said task for Twin A, Twin B will then have her own request and then something else will happen and I’ll have forgotten that I’m an actual person who wanted to watch a TH-cam video of recommended movies and not just some sentient creature whose sole purpose is to cater to the needs of the 4 little parasites I purposely had. So basically, I’m hoping a list is one day included in all these videos and I wanted to inform you that you have a fellow comrade!
I feel like such a film fan when he name drops one that I have seen, but sometimes feel like a fool when he mentions one that isn't really that old, that looks like something I would like and I somehow missed. So there's that.
Great plug for The Limey. It's a must watch for cult film junkies as it stars Barry Newman (lead of Vanishing Point (1971)-big Tarantino fave and Bruce Springsteen's favorite movie) and Warhol Factory star Joe Dellasandro. The DVD commentary is stellar. Soderbergh licensed clips of Terence Stamp's 1967 film Poor Cow for the character's flashback sequences which I think was totally fucking brilliant.
I was moving years ago and crashed at a friend's place for a couple nights . He had tons of DVDs and VHS and we decided to watch a movie. I asked him what his favorite movie was and he said without hesitation "Vanishing Point". I said "Let's watch that" ...... and I was hooked!
I always liked Knight and Day. Also, Samara Weaving is THE shit and I WILL watch Guns Akimbo. Idk how I didn't realize she was in that! I like Radcliffe, too though, so I'd watch it either way. Haha
Not a bad list!! Feel like Wyatt Earp could have made it with Costner , and snowpiercer, takers, spectral, monsters dark continent, ice road which is newer but a good Liam niesson one, home front,fire with fire, the November man, and from Paris with love , the net also good as well
A film lover.. .try to find;
Quest for fire
The Walkabout
Crash; with Roxanne Arquette,James Spader; not the other one...✌️
From Paris with Love was pretty good!
I just watched Absentia and now I'm freaked out. Great movie
"Little Nemo:Adventures In Slumberland" is based on the early twentieth-century comic strip by Winsor McCay. What is noteworthy about McCay, aside from his being one of the best cartoonists who ever lived, is that he was one of the very first animators. He took his cartoon character Gertie The Dinosaur on the road as a vaudeville act in which McCay would seem to interact with Gertie.
Thank you! ❤
An suggestion - Enter the void by Gașpar Noel
I know it’s December but I’m still in mourning for Halloween 🎃 lol… need some good horror recommendations.
Me tooooooo.😫....Xmas romantic comedies to death ...👋
Now you know DAM well, THANK YOU FOR SMOKING and MR. BROOKS, two brilliant films I purchased years ago btw, should be higher on the list. C'mon! In fact, I'm gonna watch them now, thanks for that. 🤣
FREEWAY starring Reese Witherspoon is a classic, weird bit of awesomeness currently on Prime and should have made the list. Shame on you.
I wish you wouldn't promote documented r@cists and pedo--- on your lists. Sorry, that's just me.
I really enjoy and look forward to your content, so I think it's time to join the Patreon 😁
Clifford is GENIUS!
Martin Short is my hero.
Why shouldn't we watch Mel Gibson? Still is a great actor, film director, producer, and screenwriter!
and besson is pronounced as /watch?v=WHXBSHU3Ykg
What do you mean people don't like Mel Gibson? People love Mel Gibson !!! It's Hollywood that doesn't like Mel Gibson. SPUN was an amazing movie, couldn't imagine watching an edited version... I hope it still had the scene where they were looking for porno movies.
A great UK sci-fi drama and hides low budget very well call "Cosmos" currently it's included on prime UK I can't say about the rest over rest of the world
I'm a movie buff myself since the '70s and I tell ya, your choices on this set are excellent.
You got me snagged on your sponsor, too.
Make some more, you're doing it right.
Keep it up.
just the clips from Clifford made me laugh!
Thomas Jane the Expanse very good performance
I love Thank You For Smoking so much, I actually own that movie on DVD. Aaron Eckhart is brilliant in it.
Mr. Brooks should have gotten a lot more attention than it did. Great movie!
Guns Akimbo was great!!!!
I saw American Animals when it came out. Personal interest, I worked in a University research library and theft of valuable materials wasn't uncommon. Not many high profile cases, but libraries across the country have been targets. Library where I worked had rare maps removed from old govt documents, discovered when a legit map dealer alerted the University.
This movie is based on a true story too makes it even better !
The footage from Stander looks like it's a longer version of the Beastie Boys' "Sabotage" music video. Which means it's a MUST watch for me.
I watched Little Nemo quite a few times as a kid. No one I know has seen it which I think is wild. Now I guess I’ll point them in the right direction if it comes up.
Wow! You did a great video, this time. Congratulations on the subscriptions. I knew you would do it. Most of your picks, I have never seen in this video. Thank you. Goodnight. 🌙
cant believe you showed The Limey...that one Sir, earned you a subscription (...been a fan a long time but...it's time to subscribe!)
District B-13 was so awesome.
first time i ever saw parkour.
bought the DVD at a video store, as soon as it came off the 'new release' wall.
they were suckers for selling their extra copy for under $10
@Henzo88
right on.
have you seen 'the man from nowhere'?
Scentbird, when I think of NY, I think of a small dog sized rat dragging a slice of pizza into the subway. I don’t want to smell that.
Virtuosity is Russel Crowe's first American movie.
Amazing video. Great work. How do you find the time to watch all these movies?
Damn! I must be getting old if you think that Serpico is a hidden gem. I loved absentia and I never realized that it was Mike Flanagan. I've watched it a couple of times and saw it when it first came out. Awesome movie.
Yep, we are old lol.Hidden gem? It's an essential watch. If you haven't seen Serpico, you are not really a film buff nor a Pacino fan.
That was my first thought too. " I'll bet you've never heard of these" he says about Serpico?!! I'm 50 and I'm not sure it's our ages as much as a serious misunderstanding of just how famous Serpico is right? It's a classic Pacino film , in the same category as Dog Day Afternoon as far as early but classic movies!!
Yeah, it's not you it's Darren. He seems to know alot at times, and other times like this...not really in touch with things.
I subscribe to maybe 15 different guitar related channels but movie recommendations? Flick Connection is nearly the only game in town. It's peculiar but unless you want some kid to tell you their top 25 favorite movies there's nothing much going on.
Darren has a monopoly on things it seems so I watch and he's useful once in a while. If only to remind you or tell you where to find things. Virtuousity isn't really that obscure either.
He never seems to pick dramas like "Good Will Hunting" for example. Or Woody Allen movies. He's into action more than anything has been my observation. 🎬
It's a classic that I bet a lot of people my age (I'm solidly middle aged) and younger have not seen.
Maybe I'm getting old and losing my memory, but didn't "Serpico" win best picture or something? That's just a hidden gem to the younger folks I suppose. The flood of comic book movies obscures the older films a little too. Lots of fantastic older films are overlooked.
I can’t watch buried alive movies, that literally my worst fear of all time, I rather be set on fire, drowned, eaten by sharks in the middle of a dark ocean in the pitch black, then be buried alive. It terrifies me to just think about it.
Well, you just killed my free time next week👍
Grats DVD on 300,000 subs! I have really enjoyed your suggestions and picks.
l could not watch that movie "Buried". The whole "buried alive" concept just hits me square in the bad feels.
Actually like Mel Gibson, even now, as an old guy, seems like he can do a lot of good stuff
Agree. He, like Kevin Costner, is really coming into his own with age.
I doubt this is still true, but back when the movie came, I went on Google Streets and looked at the location.of the tunnel and the cars in the movie were still parked there.
Pretty sure you showed us John Leguizamo's junk
Also, Great list as always!
I've been meaning to watch Spun for years because a friend told me Debbie Harry kicks somebody's ass in it. Maybe I'll finally get around to it this weekend.
Just got done watching Guns Akimbo…..what a crazy F ing movie! 😀
That was great, Darren. Stand out films for me are:- Buried (really intense, claustrophobic performance from Ryan Reynolds)💥, Virtuosity (Russell Crowe and Denzel Washington were great in an off-beat sci-fi, Serpico💥(outstanding performance from Al Pacino, in the title role) Highly recommended. American Animals and The Limey💥(Terence Stamp, great in the lead role. Must check out District B-13 also. Many thanks for sharing with us. Take care and catch you on your next Flick Connection 🌟🌟🌟
Thank you DVD. Prime is always a pain to navigate. Keep up the good work bro!
Knight and Day is one of my favorite movies. I watch it all of the time and own my own copy!!!
Guns Aakimbo is really fun. Samara Weaving is great in it. Knight and day is a fun movie also.
Ok I already commented, but once he said no one really likes Mel Gibson like what, he literally is probably ine of the best actors and directors of all time. His acting is true to the eye in my opinion.
I have to agree. I know a lot of folks dislike him for some of the things he's said, but I'm sure there are many other entertainers/artists who share Gibson's views, but the public just isn't aware of it.
I know some people who stopped going to a local bar/grille because of the owner announcing his political stance. I asked them "Where are you going now?" and they mentioned a new place they liked. Then I asked "Do you know the political stance of the owner of that new place?" ...... and all I got from them was a glazed look in their eyes and the sound of crickets. Pretty pathetic and pretty predictable.
@@marksavage1744 yea some people especially now can be real ignorant. I don’t get why someone political views has to make each other enemy’s. It’s absolutely foolish. As far as what Mel Gibson said I obviously saw something on it, he was drunk. Ok he messed up, and if he believes what he said well that’s on him. I don’t know him personally, I’m separating the personal stuff, he will have to answer for that or maybe he won’t. But speaking strictly about his work, it’s absolutely great
Love your recommendations anohter great list of movies i've not seen, thx :).
I love your videos and I love that you have given me so many great options. I hate spending time scrolling through the various platforms, and I am always surprised to see that you recommend films that are seldom on the pages of the streamers. You have to dig for search for a lot of these and what you do make it so much easier. You give great ideas as to what you might be in the mood for. Now I have lists of things I would like to watch with my wife and stuff that maybe should not be.
One of your lists should be, best movies 90 minutes or less, because sometimes I think we are not interested in spending our whole day with a movie, but a nice 90 minute movie sometimes does the trick.
Your videos are awesome, I love your enthusiasm for film and how you embrace different genere's.
I'd love to know how many people in their 20's and 30's enjoy your picks for some of the movies that are older than them?
Keep up the work!! Love the videos. I have a huge list of movies now, I hope I can get to all of them...lol
Serpico deserves all kinds of recognition, make some people wake up as well.
I heard an interview with the real Serpico, and he said the heroine depicted in the French Connection was replaced with flour... moths showed up... he also said he was the only uncorrupted cops he worked with.
Has Pluto noticed yet that you're using their transition effects and color scheme?
I think OUTLANDER is the best on this list!! Love me some Jim Caviezel!!!
Going to watch Little Nemo!! Never heard of it.
MOORWIN!!!! Hey patreon supporters...thanks! For you vampire lovers might I suggest Razor Blade Smile 1998......wherever you can find it. Cheers!
Thinks for the recommendation !
The Limey is very good! an interesting thing is that the main character is fleshed out by flashbacks that are actually scenes from an older movie.
If you like SERPICO, watch PRINCE OF THE CITY.
I'll take Night and Day over any Mission Impossible movie! Is it just me?
Love seeing Red Hill make your list! Great picture!
Just watched Outlander, great pic👍🏽👌🏽
Congrats 300K Subs, I always find something new I want to watch from your posts!
Serpico - one of my all times favs .... thanks DVD
Omg Little Nemo was my absolute favorite when I was little.
Only one I’ve seen is Knight and Day and thought fantastic, such great chemistry w Cruise n Diaz
I've seen 7 out of the 20. Costner, Hurt, Cook and Moore all give good performances in Mr. Frost.
Knight and Day, to me, is almost more of a rom/com with a spy story background, but it's really good.
Mr. Brooks reminded me of an older movie with Jeff Goldblum and Alan Bates called Mr. Frost.. Don't know if you've ever seen it but it's another that's kinda hard to find.
DVD. Have you watched the series "Only Murders in the Building" with Martin Short and Steve Martin? It's really good and Martin Short is fantastic! You'd love it. Try and find it if you can.
I Love that show too and recommend it to people all the time ! I wish DVD would do a monthly list for Hulu like he does for Netflix !
Excellent list. There are more than a few I havent seen but am very excited to. Ill get started on this list tomorrow.
I wholeheartedly recommend Outlander, it is so good and it keeps you guessing from start to finish.
Thomas Jane just did a great sci fi movie called “warning “ check that one out…he still does good movies and “the vanished “
Always, ALWAYS good picks from you, brother.
Thank you & Merry Christmas.
Thanks DVD! Yet another great video and list! Liked Stander.
Is it my imagination or does this guy refer to himself in the third person a lot?
Watching Red Hill now. Love it.
Congratulations on passing 300,000. I really enjoy your show and obviously I’m not the only one. Keep them coming!
#1 The Limey is one of my favorite movies.
Spun is amazing! Where I live meth is very prevalent. My friends who used to use say this is their favorite movie. Apparently really accurate
THANKS - - I will admit... I have seen many of these (almost all)...
but that just means I have a lot of free time - - LOL
But I will be able to check these out!!
16. Red Hill
15. Absentia (that tunnel scene was also in Harry Potter movie)
14. Stander
6. Sweet Country
3. American Animals (feels like I watched it...)
Yes! Nobody ever knows about Outlander!
Couple of good movies on this list. And also Vampire's Kiss.
Gotta Love Nic Cages over acting in this movie it's Brilliant !
Hey man I've been watching a lot of your recommendations and I came across the movie "Mr. Nobody" with Jared Leto on HBO MAX. Ive seen in in the past and I'm not sure if you recommended it. It's definitely a movie to watch.
I would watch these if Prime's algorithm ever recommended them. I've only seen two or three of them show up as a recommendation.
I would spend 90 minutes anywhere with Ryan Reynolds 😉. But for reals, heard Buried is a bit of a downer.
Yeah Great movie Sad Ending image the worst way this movie can end and that's what your Getting But Dame anyone who thinks Ryan can't Act needs to watch this ASAP !
Buried was good 👍🏻
I saw Spun a few years back when I was randomly flipping through Amazon's offerings and I was hooked from the start. Definitely worth watching.
Martin Short fans, take note.
Jiminy Glick in Lalawood is available on Amazon Prime.
8/20 Limey was brilliant
If you are not sick to death of zombie movies “the night eats the world” is a decent one now on prime it’s a bit different, I thought it was good.
Thanks for the recommendation !
Little Nemo is a great and gorgeous movie, and the Spanish dubbing is amazing.
Unfortunately, “Get the Gringo” and “Stander” have already been pulled from prime
Nope. I’m wrong. I guess my there is a new layout.
