Poor person here just wanting you to know that I appreciate all that you do. Cheers.

[@robertkozak]

Im not sure if you ever talked about Stranger Than Fiction but it deserves to be on this list.

[@tirakaninama9876]

12:34 apparently you recorded this in the future lol

[@jaredevildog6343]

At 12 minutes 38 seconds, You said you were recording and posting this is July of 2021 ..... but it's only June of 2021.

Im just gonna say... I am 8 years sober, had a rough life in Russia. I cant cry , for the hell of me i tried so many times it just wont come out no matter what. I watched 18:33 last week and cried for the first time in years, something triggered im not sure ... i felt so much better. It is quite heavy, but a specific heavy

[@haileygrey5047]

That’s what I feared and the reason I’ve been avoiding it 😩😩

[@VALIS538]

These are movies I love, ones that stay with you for a long time

[@rhythmoriented]

The Master imho is among the best of the 2010’s in that it grows with each rewatch: 1. Joaquin Phoenix’ performance is a revelation 2. Incredible ensemble that also includes Amy Adams, Laura Dern, Jesse Plemons, Rami Malek and the inimitable Philip Seymour Hoffman 3. The processing scene is widely regarded as one of the best dialogues in modern cinema 4. Cinematography and score are incredible 5. Best take on Scientology, but also a raw perspective on post-war PTSD

[@facehunter504]

“I don’t feel at home in this world anymore” Is the shiiiiiiit! Should’ve been higher

[@WestonEvans]

Agreed but it’s been out for a while and mentioned before on the channel. I can see why it’s there. It also drags at some point

[@burrr5030]

When they first go in that house and he hits dude with a mase & throws firecrackers lol the shitty

[@facehunter504]

@@burrr5030 that shit had me cracking up, wish he’d do more comedy roles.

[@robertbare1007]

Seen several of those. Looks like a solid list my friend. Love your channel btw.

[@DarrenVanDam]

Thanks 👍

[@bigneon_glitter]

_I Don't Feel At Home In This World Anymore_ is one of my favorite films of the *past decade.* A small Noir that feels epic & a viewing experience that never leaves you. Melanie Lynskey should've become a massive star off it.

[@KR-sh6rm]

Great list! Love A Ghost Story. Easily one of my favorite movies. Beautiful in a mournful way.

[@jdk9673]

I never saw Shutter Island because I accidentally spoiled the twist for myself. It never occurred to me that I might enjoy it even more after finding out. I’m gonna check it out now and I definitely never would have if I didn’t see this. Thanks!

[@normynbaits1135]

Great list. You just reminded me of my favorite "rabbit hole" experience. Safety Not Guaranteed > Creep > Creep 2. It was a long day.

[@erikiversen408]

So true! I just watched Shutter Island for a second time and liked it more than the first viewing.

[@stonebringer1]

Wow! July 2021! I feel I am getting a look into the future.

[@Auntyalias2014]

I was just gonna say...

[@jdk9673]

So confused me. He kept talking but all I could think about was how I definitely didn’t write my July rent check, but my landlord never said anything. Then I thought maybe the old guy died. Then I thought about how it would be really inconvenient if I had to move soon. Then I realized it’s still June. Thanks for the wild ride, Darren!

[@GopherM]

Does that mean we are not really watching this yet or will it get even better once we catch up with July?

[@rlp9517]

darren is a time traveler, nobody has that amount of time to watch so many films without a time machine lol

[@elikerr785]

@@rlp9517 this is the most probable Explanation, or perhaps time is speeding up and not everyone realizes it yet... Check your hair and nails and change my mind.

[@brandons4240]

Highly recommend Oxygen, first foreign movie in a long time that I didn't care was dubbed...was that good. And I don't feel at home in this world was freaking hilarious if you like dark humor

[@dwpix]

awesome list!

[@wistfulvista1020]

Nice job. Loved A Ghost Story.

[@coolnegative]

Erik the Viking......not sure if its on Netflix anymore, but its one of the Terry Gilliam movies that a lot of people haven't seen.

[@tedwolf1716]

I felt so let down by Shutter Island. It telegraphed the ending so far out that when what I expected to happen happened, I felt so let down.

[@bySterling]

Savages, The Artist, Oxygen, Little Monsters, Safety Not Guaranteed, Mitchell’s vs The Machines, Life of Brian, Shutter Island are in the cue now!

[@walterkeating6262]

"If you're ears prick up when you hear 'too wierd', this movie might be for you!" LOL Sat through three seasons of Twin Peaks and Fire Walk With Me, so bring it on! :-) Great show, btw. Thanks.

[@izzyjones7108]

same same!!lynch is my fav ..(also love von Trier and weirdness☆♡) did you watch "I'm thinking of ending things "-& if so..what did you think?? btw I was recently told about a 2019.movie that was recommended to me like this ="saw a movie that reminded me of something lynch would have done in ways. have you seen "Piercing'? and I immediately checked it out and really liked it def agreed it had some lynchy elements..not in a bad way..but also just very different... btw FWWM is one of my top 5 all time fav films

[@BlackCanvasAudio]

Another superb list Darren! The Master is one of the best films I've ever seen. Synchronic is really well done too. I love most of these movies!

[@roel.vinckens]

I'll have to watch A Ghost Story an Savages. Will be going back to Shutter Island and The Master, both for the third time. And your description of Malcolm and Marie makes me want to see Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf again. For the twelfth time. Which is a good thing!

[@FTA4evr]

Whoa! Time warp! July of 2021...

[@scotth8828]

Saw Apostle on your recommendation...HOLY HELL! That was so wild and great!

[@mbugua182]

A monster calls reminds me of 'i kill monsters' hidden gem. Safety not guaranteed easily the best movie from this list...

[@bryceharper446]

The dog was amazing in The Artist! How can you not mention that?! 😮

[@edpzz]

More stuff I can't watch in the UK but its Presented so well !!!!

[@EricStrawbridge6376]

I saw “Safety Not Guaranteed”. I liked it. Thank you for highlighting the rest of the films. Good evening.

[@benitojuanjuarez2438]

Thanks for the list, there are 7 or 8 on here I haven't seen and am quite interested in. Also, I guess I need to see Shutter Island for the second time. Cheers!

[@JaneAxon123]

I enjoyed Shutter Island on first viewing as it was well crafted, but on second viewing when you know the twist you realise how ridiculous it is that they would go to such elaborate and complex lengths for such a minor outcome in the big scheme of things.

[@tunguskalumberjack9987]

Ja- I thought that it was much better the second time around. Either I was in a different headspace or seeing it twice had me noticing little details that were unnoticed the first time. I definitely recommend it 👍🏻

[@CBlade0]

I always appreciate your subtitles callouts. I rarely enjoy reading a movie unless it's a Parasite-level masterpiece so good looking out! It's also great seeing Shutter Island get the love it deserves but is often shafted for.

[@JaneAxon123]

If its engrossing enough the subtitles don't matter, if I find them tedious its probably because the movie itself is so. Sometimes watching foreign language movies in the cinema is better too as there are no distractions.

[@kaylynritke]

Great list! Thanks for the recommendations, I found at least three new great movies. Keep it up!

[@kirkkuebbing800]

Watched this video today, pushed me to finally watch Safety Not Guaranteed. Was not expecting to find it so endearing; probably my most endorsable on your list. Regarding Life of Brian, I’m not sure about rewatching this comedy classic when there is just so much I’ve never seen. I can’t remember it clearly so maybe I will. Everything Python made is a joy. I fell asleep watching Hail Caesar…more than once, gonna skip watching it again. Watched Synchronic earlier this week, solely on your recommendation. Entertaining watch but not on my list of recommendations to friends. My kids refused to watch Mitchell’s vs Machines with me, their loss. I enjoyed it way more than a grown up should expect to. Paranorman is a solid recommendation, we watch it most Halloween seasons. I Don’t Feel at Home in This World Anymore was a pleasant surprise, I think I watched it after one of your previous videos. I was kinda surprised your #1 was Shutter Island, your endorsement was worded so strongly I’m questioning my harsh judgement of it when it first came out. Anyway, solid list bud, keep them coming.

[@pavkey88]

Loved Block island sound, excited to check out the rest. Also so glad your channel is blowing up, you’ve improved dramatically over these past 4 years

[@gracemunroe]

I love your movie lists ... more please.

[@toddmilliken5268]

Synchronic is good has a great concept. And believe there is a opportunity for more be it prequel, sequel or TV series. Savage's is the second book of a series

[@willie9537]

Darren, first I love your channel my man, you have saved me sanity more times than I could count. I was searching for a decent watch and remembered LOVE, DEATH and ROBOTS (Netflix)you selected for certain ( lol) people and a I took a break got my munchies ( I don't mind telling my age) and WOW. Now, it was an experience that I enjoyed more than i can say. I hope all the artist who contributed and or participated get together with some gifted other filmmakers and do another. So everyone like minded, get your grip, stash or whatever terminology is fashionable today and check that flick out. You will travel far without leaving your couch. Darren continue the great work my man your the best! Nuff Said!

[@Sattlen]

Epic! Thanks for the video!

[@DarrenVanDam]

You bet!

[@lizbmusic11]

Hey thanks. Just decided I'll watch Shutter Island again on this long winter nights in New Zealand. Thanks for your great work. I really enjoyed Oxygen and the other sci-fi films plus the weird ones. But I always feel our choices in nz are limited. I often run out of my preferred genres like sci-fi n horror. So I wait a few weeks and try again lol :)

[@yesbutactuallyno8305]

Love the music in Van Dammes videos.......

[@markrothenbuhler6232]

For those who like Malcolm & Marie I'd also recommend Carnage (it's two couples arguing instead of one) which is a great movie based on a play.

[@imfrcd]

Find "Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? " Which is a really great movie based on a play.

[@MarkO-uc9yc]

Masterful list! Errementari, I Don't Feel At Home in the World Any more, Oxygen, Synchronic, Safety not Guaranteed are all great "small movies". I'll check out the remaining ones I have not seen.

[@updem]

Whoa, I traveled to the future, the VPN ad told me it's July already....

[@doctorzombie9799]

I just watched Savages and thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks!

[@jwwj30]

Dr.Zombie, if you enjoy reading, check out the book. It was written in 2010 by Don Winslow, one of my favorite authors. Most of the time, the book is better than the film, although Stone did an excellent job with this novel. Like DVD said, he had many top notch actors helping him pull it off.

[@ReallyRick]

July...? This is like that German Netflix series "Dark!"

[@ratedRamsey]

Well done as always sir. And a bunch of new content lately. Awesome. Thanks!!

Safety not guaranteed was a really good movie.

His closet.one of a kind.

[@jwfisher08]

Great list. Actually have a couple on there i haven't seen. BTW, thanks for the recommendation on The Empty Man. Enjoyed the movie very much. Thanks.

[@dsouthmonster]

That scene in Your Highness with the little wizard thing's staff has haunted me for so long.

[@tonykari5124]

Shutter island .... instant classic possibly some of the best acting all around

[@OlinNiord]

Kauffman also directed 'Anomalisa'. It's also pretty inaccessible though, so fair warning.

[@TheFeliciakelley]

Loving your T-shirt

[@NerdAlert78]

There is no way in hell I could watch that Oxygen movie. One of my worst fears ever is being stuck in a box.

[@bryceharper446]

Saw your recommendation for The Block Island Sound, loved it 👍🏻

[@RobbieVanGone]

Lol, I've seen some of these but I want to watch all 25 of these! Thanks Darren.

[@SnarkierThan-U-R]

I was about to watch that movie starring Salma Hayek as the leader of a DRUG CARTEL UNTIL YOU SAID THE WORDS THAT MADE ME Lose Interest: 'John Travolta' and the same goes for movies starring Rooney Mara, my beef with Mara is that she tried to usurp Noomi Rapace as Lizbeth Salander (The Girl With The Dragon Tatoo).

[@JaneAxon123]

I much preferred her performance and the US movie overall to the original, so its a matter of taste. Either way that is no reason to overlook her other movies, Ghost Story is very interesting.

[@annieoccident4459]

"I honestly don't know how to warn you to stay away from it more if you don't like super super weird stuff." Compare it to a David Lynch film.

[@JaneAxon123]

I like super weird but not David Lynch, the weirdness never seems to have a point other than being weird for its own sake. It still has to lead somewhere storywise.

[@willieg7895]

I really enjoyed "your highness". Got it on dvd at home. Natalie portman is very beautiful in it. Much similar to princess bride.

[@eliecopter3082]

A zombie movie called Pandemic is playing on Netflix Canada right now. The movie is known as Pandemic in Canada Is also known as Alone in the U.S. Year 2020 Cast : Tyler Posey Summer Spiro Donald Sutherland Directed by : Johnny Martin But the movie advertised "poster, description & info" is a different zombie movie from 5 years ago but with the same title Pandemic Year 2016 Cast: Rachel Nichols, Alfie Allen, Missi Pyle Directed by : John Suits I've called Netflix twice and they never corrected this, I guess their customer service doesn't care about big mistakes like this.

[@deuzdeuz8115]

A lot of good flicks in this list 👍

[@cdenver]

Monsters INC ripped of Little Monsters. I remember renting that movie on VHS as a kid. Loved it.

[@Iampatrix]

I remember watching Little Monsters at a sleep over party when I was like 9, we all loved it. I remember it so well because my 12 year old sister, who puberty hit like a ton of bricks and was already like 5'9 and over 250lbs, harassed us the entire time.So we got fed up and made a bunch of paper ninja stars and compressed them as hard as we could so that they were actually pretty hard and pointy and we all attacked her at once beaning her with a few dozen ninja stars and ran away. She tried to chase us but she was so big and awkward she stubbed her pinky toe and snapped it off to the side. I had to call my mom while she was hysterically crying in the background screaming "MY TOE IS POINTING THE WRONG WAY!!!" while all my friends were laughing. Good times.

[@bmoneybby]

You sound like a nice brother..

[@Iampatrix]

@@bmoneybby you ever been a 90lb 4"9 kid with a almost 6ft tall 300lb monster beating the crap out of you in front of your friends for over 24 hours? No? Then shut up.

[@WestonEvans]

If you liked synchronic, I watched a movie recently called Flashback (2020) It’s got the girl from It Follows and the main dude from Maze Runner in the lead. It’s very different from Synchronic but also very similar. I quite enjoyed it.

[@BackassWordsWeirdworld]

[@guymontag2948]

'I'm Thinking of Ending Things' was amazing. I'm commenting to up vote for those on the fence. I felt like I had to unfocus my mind in a way to properly take it in then just sit back and enjoy the ride. I wouldn't consider my tastes that weird and I truly loved this movie. On the other hand, I've seen and enjoyed 9 of these movies so maybe my tastes are odder than I think. Take it as you will.

[@joydawn214]

I have been meaning to get around to A Ghost Story - thanks for the brain tickle 😁

[@bigneon_glitter]

_Oxygen_ was - surprisingly - pretty great.

[@natachamisticfreak7688]

I know of at least 10 movies Michel Gondry made, not to mention heaps of shorts, but I agree, his work is often rather hermetic...

[@jodirook71]

I love these kinds of movies !

[@JaneAxon123]

Life of Brian a) is not overlooked outside of the US, and b) is NOT about Jesus renamed Brian, its about a guy called Brian who happened to be born the same day and town as Jesus and oddly parallels his life. Jesus is not an actual character in the movie but is present in the story. Its a brilliant satire of society in general and also a parody of those old swords and sandals movies (sometimes very pointedly) and is superior to Holy Grail in my opinion as it has more layers to it. I first watched as a kid and in each subsequent viewing as I grew up I got more of the points it was making, but always found it brilliant. I did show it to a friend though who sat through the whole thing and then said it wasn't a comedy as there 'were no jokes in it'. She wasn't brought up on satire I guess.

[@robinconnor6093]

I'm looking forward to watching A Ghost Story, I Don't Feel At Home In This World Anymore & Savages. Synchronic was good but I was disappointed with the ending. I'm gonna have to watch Block Island Sound again because I liked it way more than I thought I would. When a movie freaks me out without even showing me the monsters AND the monsters end up not even being where I thought they were, that's a good movie in my opinion 😬 👍

[@YeeSnarky]

Seen several of these Films/series, and the best is definitely 'Your Highness' (2011). I own that one on DVD. Yes its weird and contains some unnecessary toilet humour, but it is still a fun watch and depending on the version you get to see, you even get Natalie Portman in a Metal-Thong... (Chastity belt for those of an ignorant disposition.) 'Nuff Said!

[@victoriablevins2016]

I love the mitchells vs the machines. Seen it 7 times. Love it

[@scottlaughlin1528]

Totally agree with your take on "Hail, Caesar!", but I think, like every Coen brothers film, you have to watch it a couple of times to get all the details that make them so good. And love your list, especially the top 10! Keep up the great work!

[@lorensims4846]

I love the Coen brothers. Every film is charming and funny in its own way.

The ending of savages is by far one of the worst in movie history, seen it when it first came out and still mad I wasted my time on that turd.

[@swampwampagus]

I Don’t Feel at Home in This World Anymore should be higher. Suprised you didn't compare it to a Coen Brothers movie.

[@seansmith9129]

Hi Darren, you say " I don't feel at home in this world anymore" is a weird title. It's probably taken from a folk/gospel song title from Woody Guthrie's LP "Dust Bowl Ballads." " I ain't got no home in this world anymore." I know, it's a long time ago!

[@jesusoftheapes]

you ever do Amazon prime ? They are taking over streaming.
