@v I think it depends what level you donate at. He has mentioned before that the supporters named in his videos' end credits are the ones that contribute at least "x" amount per month. But just know that you are appreciated for your support (by DVD & and all of subscribers, etc) even if your name isn't on the screen. And if you do donate at the credits level, he will eventually see your comment and fix the credit scroll.

Pan’s Labyrinth is a masterpiece; there’s simply no other word. I love Sucker Punch (seriously underrated) and Cloud Atlas, also Hero, and House of Flying Daggers. The Croods is great! Glad you mentioned that one. I would also include Beowulf (2007) and The Crow, which is both timeless and mesmerising.

Louis Cypher ........I totally agree until I watched Satoshi Kon’s Anime masterpieces. They were just that good. 😍 Unfortunately he passed and he will be missed. Just Google his name, “Satoshi Kon”. And watch anything he wrote and directed. Can’t really pigeonhole his movies, but perhaps start with Perfect Blue, which I think is one of his best. They are truly mind bending and you can find them dubbed but the Japanese voice actors have perfected these Anime movies with some of the best acting out there. Trust me......his movies are so high quality in both acting and directing. You gotta give these a go. You won’t mind the reading. The stories are just so engaging that you won’t even realize that you are watching Japanese subtitles. They are just that damn good.🤩👏🥰

[@Alte.Kameraden]

Oddly, I never had a problem with Sucker Punche's story, and how it was told. I actually found the way it was told pretty awesome. Similar to how the Jin Roh animated film told two different versions of The Little Red Ridding Hood at the same time.

[@courtenyrourk7588]

I hate rom-coms but Palm Springs from the last list was great.

[@pumpkinsuprema4406]

Was pleasantly surprised

[@chrislair6832]

Yeah I lived there in my twenties so I was excited that a decent-looking comedy of the same name was coming out I'm curious to see where they film it

[@djmandyland]

Sucker Punch has so many beautiful layers to it and such amazing messages that most people didn't catch. Hands down one of my top 5 favorites of all time.

[@CheckeredGreen]

Yes most people pay zero attention and chalk it up as just an action film when it is so much more

[@sam9242]

Read Cloud Atlas, then you'll really appreciate how amazing the film is. You really called Sucker Punch 100%. If you can survive the rest of the movie, the dream sequences are worth it.

Love, death, and robots

[@DavidaVeddar]

It’s a episodic show though right? I am not a fan of those genres but I totally LOVED THIS- oh man I binged every episode and meant to watch one!! The desert with ghosts from eras past, the artist AI blue square- it’s impossible they are all mind blowing gotta agree

[@zackmccormick5845]

Uncut Gems blew me away. Never been so stressed watching a movie.

[@jellyroll5247]

Yep. The ending left me speechless.

[@poneill65]

When speaking of the beauty of Zhang Yimou's Hero and House of Flying Daggers, you really, really should add Curse of the Golden Flower. That is hands down one of the visually most stunning movies I've ever seen.

[@karenshaub8273]

Pan's Labyrinth looks good sporadically, As does The Cell. Curse of the Golden Flower is breathtaking. The Fall is really worth a watch for it's story within a story visuals.

[@rhythmoriented]

While I agree with the list 100%, the production design and cinematography of Her have been historically overshadowed by the Oscar winning screenplay and Joaquin Phoenix’ performance. Such a beautiful look to that film.

[@mchamber366]

Unfortunate it's leaving this month seems like Netflix is dropping some of the Best movie's lately

[@elijahclaude3413]

Her was really amazing! One of the best tales of the future I've ever seen. Beautiful movie both visually and plot-wise

[@christytaylor3978]

I'm so glad to see The Croods in this list. It's such a gorgeous movie to watch, and has a great cast and plot as well. Even if animated films aren't your thing, I think it's worth watching.

[@duke927]

Re: The Little Prince. Was written by Antoine de Saint-Exupery a French aviation pioneer who joined the Free French AF during WWII and was missing and presumed dead on a reconnaissance flight mission near Marseille France in 1944. He wrote books about early Aviation and his book “Wind Sand and Stars” is a monument to early aviation and worth a read. I don’t know his motivation in writing “The Little Prince” maybe for his child as most of his books are about aviation. Thanks for your reviews.

[@pumpkinsuprema4406]

Me too. And i don't usually like mindless action movies like that....if you go in thinking it's just an excuse for these sequences, it's quite entertaining.

[@MetalTrenches]

Everything Fincher does has me on the edge of my seat.

[@galahadgarza6905]

I too would put Pan’s Labyrinth as the most visually stunning movie on Netflix. Although Cloud Atlas has a story that is at times difficult to follow (or even to become interested in) its cinematography is what would put it higher on the list for me. Excellent job-as always!

[@CommonCentrist82]

"Uncut Gems" was great. Very stressful to watch, but it was good. The truth is many of us know someone like Sandler's character (in this film). I actually yelled at the screen while watching it.

[@chrislair6832]

Thank you Steve you're the first person I've seen in the comment list that agrees with me it's a great freaking movie

in sucker punch, you spend most of the movie inside Baby Dolls Imagination. She's the one coping with the trauma.

I enjoyed Sucker Punch. Yes, it was strange. Yes, it was confusing. Yes, it had some amazing visuals. But something most people aren't aware of, is the amount of discussion you can find about the film. Try Googling "Sucker Punch explained" or "Why Sucker Punch is smarter than you think". You might be surprised at the number of articles you'll find and how much they raise questions that will open up a different perspectives that you may not have considered. After reading many of the articles, I gained a whole new appreciation of the movie.

Adam Sandler was amazing in the movie "Punch drunk love", a very off-beat, obscure drama. Not your typical, goofy, "I want to touch the hiney", oddball humor.

my all time favorite, matrix trilogy and sucker punch

[@CheckeredGreen]

The storyline in sucker punch is bomb. *spoiler alert* If you thought the story was lacking here is a bit of explanation for perspective. Each reality is a version of the "real" world. Even baby doll herself is an imagination of the real main character who is sweet pea. Watch closely and you'll see. Each of the girls represent important parts of the main characters personality. When the doctor performs the lobotomy, each of the girls die in sequential order based on how the needle penetrates parts of the brain correlating to each "character". It's all about escape and dissociation to overcome trauma. It was tragic and pretty accurate portraying the leaps and bounds our minds go through to cope. "You have all the weapons you need, now fight"
