[@frozenharold]

Loved what Happened to Monday. Didn't even realize it was a Netflix original.

[@jakewarren74]

Wow, you finally added chapters! Thank you!

[@gwendolynrhett-dm3wt]

Glad to see Spectral on your list.

[@tjk3430]

​@@jakewarren74 I thought being the only tuber (I know of) who lists the movies in the top pinned comment was "chapters" enough for me. But if it makes the viewing experience easier then 'The Van Dam abides.'

[@tjk3430]

Darren Sir, if I may be a greedy, ungrateful, & lazy internet consumer & throw a vote behind adding the year each film came out in parentheses next to the films in the TPC. When I listen to vids like yours & think about films in general, the year is a big part of how I catalog them in my head. I often find myself switching between your vid & the imdb app & it's somewhat distracting. Not a big deal to me either way as I said above listing them at all is amazingly convenient. I'm gonna watch your vids either way. If adding myself to the list of ppl asking for this (it could be a list of one!) helps with how you make UI decisions on your channel then I hope this positive feedback helps.

[@danielkim672]

All quiet on the western front was both devastating and great. Great pick for the top spot.

[@andreashaynes3346]

That was a great FLICK CONNECTION Darren. The ones I’ve rewatched happily have been:- Extraction, The Ritual, The Harder They Fall, Polar, The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, The Night Comes For Us, The Killer and All Quiet on The Western Front. Many thanks for sharing with us. Appreciate it and enjoyed 👍👍👍

[@AwlDeigh]

What Happened to Monday is agreat movie and very clever premise. The actress is so talented

[@Furykidxxx]

I agree, I really enjoyed that one

[@harleyrdr1]

I fully concur with “What happened to Monday”. I watched it several months ago, and I was totally taken by it. Excellent excellent flick.

[@fomalhaut9]

Damn straight - it was a belter

[@bennygerow]

Triple Frontier was better than I thought it was going to be. OMG yes! The Ritual was phenomenal!!! Buster Scruggs was so freaking great! I didn't like one of the stories, but yeah, it's top tier.

[@rhythmoriented]

Love love love Dolemite is My Name. Eddie Murphy was hilarious, and it was great to see Da’Vine Joy Randolph before all the praise she is getting now for The Holdovers.

[@thomaskrutulis2289]

Noomi is amazing. The Swedish, girl with the dragon tattoo trilogy is one of my all time favs. You have to try to find and watch the extended versions of all three. They are so so so excellent!! Don’t forget, extended versions!! Worth it. You’re welcome

[@icejohnb]

Quite the Babe!

[@kosewa1]

I’ve watched Polar more times than I care to count and it’s gets better with each watch. I’m still hopeful for a part 2.

[@redbeard36]

I have special affection for The Highwaymen. I spent 3 days in a hospital in Mexico with ecoli. I barely speak Spanish and was on my own most of the time and I spent my whole time watching Netflix and The Highwaymen was a highlight.

[@gregrice1354]

Thanks for great lists and your careful duration with time indexed links of your content. Few others take such care in publishing videos on KZbin. Big thumbs up!!

[@mgiebus1869]

They Cloned Tyrone. Most slept on Netflix film ever

[@dagrindzguy4250]

Loved it!

[@TexGuvnah]

X-Files + Pootie Tang

[@waverlyking6045]

I didn’t sleep on it. I loved every second.

[@swiftaudi]

Awesome flick loved it.

[@theubercaste]

I didn’t make it twenty minutes

[@tdot1269]

How was The Old Guard not on the list? Think I watch it like every other week. Can wait for the sequel!

[@ileanahernandez1709]

Is there going to be a sequel?

[@SINW]

Watched this based on your suggestion and this movie is the most fun action movie in a long time.

[@Charlestownf]

Thanks for the recommendation boutta watch it now.

[@dirtycumminsxd9707]

Epic fucking movie. I hope to GOD they do a sequel

[@shturmovik3033]

Great list! Setting up to watch some tonite!

[@toweypat]

So, um, you know, which movie did the thumbnail come from?

[@SchroederUSMC]

Thank you! Great list, watched most of them already but not all.

[@thewriterstuff]

Wasn't The Old Guard a Netflix original? It was awesome!

[@AenesidemusOZ]

To my mind, that movie didn't get the love it deserved.

[@Shiirya]

It has interesting ideas but so generic movie and wasted potential with many stupid stuff like woke agenda, girl boss shit and all, making the movie completly forget about all its plot and all and went pretty much only for for over susbstance

[@JoeBlow-yt1lp]

OK. Good list D.V.D. There are some things on this list that I have not seen. I will check them out this weekend. I don't remember what I did before Flick Connection.

[@purplemicrodot58]

Totally agree on the movies I've seen, stoked to try out the few I haven't. I don't always agree but you've been pretty consistent for my tastes. Good job, mate. Keep 'em coming! Added note: It would be helpful if you made some note which movies are in non-English languages. It's not that I don't watch subbed/dubbed movies, but I really need to be in the mood. They just take a little more effort to watch and sometimes it bums me out when I get super relaxed and ready to veg out to a new movie only to find out I need to exert extra mental energy reading subs. And a low quality dub just ruins everything. Just a quick mention would do.

[@klimtkahlo]

😊 I am the opposite, I search for non American movies. Being European from an eu country that does not dub anything makes it easier. In fact I refuse to watch anything that is dubbed, it is so extremely off putting to me… I recommend Scandinavian movies, they are so interesting and different… love them…anything British too!

[@ileanahernandez1709]

I only speak two languages however I seek out many movies that are subbed because most of the time they are very well done.

[@davidingham2216]

Excellent set of reviews. Several I will now be watching. Thanks and keep up your excellent work

[@pmcmva]

Good list. I've seen many of them on your recommendation. Polar, Spectral and The Platform highlight my list. Just can't get there with you on Killer. Maybe I'll start it again with a fresh outlook. "All Quiet..." is a very good remake. The 1979 version starring Richard Thomas (Walton's "John Boy") is exceptional. Thanks!

[@lisaboban]

Once again, youve given us some great recommendations! Thanks!

[@rbwirth12]

I Care a Lot was great! The Old Guard with Charlize Theron was also a good Netflix original.

[@Tech_jump]

I really needed this. I never know what to watch. This should keep me busy for a while.

[@bunba_77_15]

Thanks for the recommendations, loved What happened to Monday.

[@Shreadington]

Polar and Triple Frontier are the two I watched twice. Both great movies imo. Going to watch The Perfection and The Night Comes for us.

[@Jadedxx]

I've been recommending The Perfection since it came out. I was so good and surprised me with the twists- I don't surprise easily.

[@chrisharford2610]

That was the best review ever, I will be rewatching at least half of them. Well done mate.

[@nigl2807]

i think im going to try watch all these movies. Only seen Extraction. Nice list!!.thanks!!

[@bmarks100]

I'm so glad you mentioned Spectral and What Happened to Monday! Two very underrated films that I've really enjoyed.

[@richjohnson8261]

Great channel that is so appreciated. Thanks for the this. Nothing worst than sitting around scrolling through bad movies for something to watch.

[@hobarttobor686]

you do a great job with these lists.

[@marthawoodworth]

Thank you! Can't wait to see many of these.

[@ulybkin_alexander]

omg! I can't stop laughing at your print with Cage. His face is just something haha :))) Thx for the video!

[@7streetoak]

Your top 2, Darren, hit it out of the park. I can't compare them to any other films - they stand alone. Thanks for reminding me. You're the best!

[@robertkerby2581]

I like your recommendations! I cannot wait to start watching the movies on Netflix! Well done!

[@stainless5708]

Thank you SO much for this! Great choice👌

[@nightowl835]

this is exactly the list I was looking for, sometimes the good stuff is hard to find

[@hobbyhopper3143]

I’ve watched quite a few of these and “The Ritual” is my all time favorite. I’ll have to read the book.

[@PeterStawicki]

Agreed - They were fantastic in The Highwaymen

[@KidFresh71]

another great set of recommendations! One of my favorite channels on KZbin. I'll add that I'm a huge Coen Brothers fan, and to me The Ballad of Buster Scruggs was a Top 5 or even Top 3 Coen Bros. flick. Eminently re-watchable.

[@ehnoobsemaj7774]

The Ritual is soooo good, the abandoned cabin scene is creepy as hell....

[@TheCybertiger9]

Being in the dark woods is kinda creepy all the while facing something or someone unknown.

[@nnconfomiststoic7346]

Really? hell no​@@TheCybertiger9

[@user-qq2qj3mx1w]

speaking is so clear and voice tone is so good ^

[@csunedchic]

I love Naomi RaPace. What an actress 👏 🙌 ❤️

[@jeffgillson]

Noomi Rapace (You probably got autocorrected, it changed it at first when I wrote Noomi too)

[@jeffreylawrence6928]

Great reviews and recommendations as usual DVD!

[@kennytieshisshoes]

Such a solid list. I have seen a few but others I have not and I may need to check out.

[@jeremiahalexander5513]

I would also recommend 6 Underground. That was pretty awesome

[@AenesidemusOZ]

Yep, a fun movie.

[@banaresali]

thank you for giving my mind relax and carefree time, tried other recomendations vids but DVD dude is def the best one.

[@johnpush4585]

Pretty good line up. With movies I liked, Im completely with you. Especially Alls Quiet! As a war vet i literally cried watching that!

[@suemcmanus7889]

Can't tell you how many of these I've also rewatched!

[@missingmimic]

The ritual is absolutely re-watchable. I watched it alone and then a year later I watched it with my partner who had never seen it. I just couldn't wait to see his face as a certain scene played out. He was quite vocal. 😂😂😂

[@BillsOldandNewGaming]

I've only seen The night comes for us off this list (fantastic movie) but I'm definitely adding some of these to my watchlist.

[@albertmurillo7522]

I'm being a bit bias with The Killer, because I love the soundtrack. The Smiths are one of my favorite top 3 bands of all time

[@Superabound2]

*biased, not bias

[@albertmurillo7522]

Oops I was unsober Hahaha

[@bobbosnap1693]

@DarrenVanDam is killing it with the thumbnails lately. 🤟

[@moviemanthan72]

Name of the model in thumbnail?

[@daneo617]

I just re-watched Extraction last night followed by another great action movie The Grey Man, 2 of my favorite NOs

[@Kodreanu23]

Gray Man sucks

[@charlessaggio8412]

Thanks so much for the Spectral recco. Really enjoyed it. No bovine excrement, just a decent action film.

[@originalsuki]

Great work, Darren. I always get at least one gem that I love from every list. Thrilled to hear there may be a sequel to Polar. Super under-rated action flick!

[@summerlakephotog8239]

You deserve to have a successful channel. You really put a lot of effort into your videos. 👍

[@dantedesilva9773]

I wish you did more tv show/series recemendations as well as moviez it would be great

[@50Theonion]

I 2nd “the package”, stumbled across it awhile ago and laughed a lot

[@orlandoclark8062]

Good picks Rob👍

[@erichoff7511]

Great picks.. All Quiet on the Western Front.. is one of my recent favorites

[@oneupmanship]

Love the shirt.

[@NOLAgenX]

The killer was excellent IMO. Michael Fassbender did not disappoint me with a superb performance.

[@XxTavoRxX]

Actually agree with most everything on this list, there are a few i have never heard of and will check out.

[@erskinhansen1715]

Solid list. 1) My personal favorites: Extraction, Spectral, What Happened to Monday, Dolemite is My Name, Polar 2) Have to watch: I Care A Lot, The Platform, The Highway Men, The Killer,

[@greatpix]

I have two movies where I sat back and marveled at their near perfect construction, Amélie and Limitless.

[@blair821]

Love this channel.

[@tokershark1570]

A really great list. And over the years, I think youve built up a great reputation Darren Van Dam has earned my trust. When he suggests a movie to watch that you haven’t seen, 99 times out of 100 he’s correct. You should watch it . Great work sir . Oh yeah, the night comes for us is incredibly violent and well choreographed.

[@LADENTRJ]

undergroud 6 is the movie I watch the most. but great list I have some new movies to watch

[@sarlaccstapeworm990]

Going to watch "The Killer" right NOW! Thanks bud!! 👍💯

[@potentpoefie]

spectral is a guilty pleasure of mine. whenever i don't know what to watch, i put it on. it's so good.

[@marthawoodworth]

the Battle of Buster Scruggs was fabulous. Love everything the Coen Brothers make.

[@bigsarge2085]

I enjoyed "The Perfection." "Wrong Missy" was hilarious! 😄 Waiting to watch "All Quiet on the Western Front," but I've got to be in the right mood for that slog, I'm an infantry vet of the unpleasantness in Iraq and I've seen enough war horror. (Yes, I've watched both the original and the 1970's version.)

[@eziomorte3380]

To be honest I like the second Extraction more than the first! The prison break one-shot scene with the helicopters on the train is INCREDIBLE! The only scenes I loved as much was from John Wick 4, the eagle eye view fight in the apartment and the drug raid from True Detective Season 1. EDIT: Kostas Gavras is my uncle and Romain (his son, who directed Athena) is my (dah) second cousin, Im happy you included the movie on your list!

[@tembodiaz]

Athena was great. I care a lot is also good, but wow. So effed up. Fun watch! What happened to Monday? Great, great movie! What an interesting concept, also really effed! LOL. Love your channel, watch your recs all the time. Keep’em coming!

[@bangyaa777]

Thanks..I had grown tired of waiting for new action/comedy flicks and trying to finish of bunch of series..I had forgotten most of the good ones and haven't seen some of them..

[@CLStegall]

This is a really fantastic list of flicks, DVD! And, i have to say that Polar is my go-to rewatch. I think I watch it at least 4-5 times a year since it released. I will be first in line for the sequel if it does ever get made and released. And, of course, Mads is phenomenal in anything he does. And, to be honest, this was my first real intorduction to Vanessa Hudgens and I thought she really held her own next to the man, himself. 🙂

[@stingrayls5]

I have watched spectral at least 10 times, one of my all time favorites.

[@sevendeuce_72]

Luvd "The platform!"

[@ronparsons8786]

The ritual was great Polar was a nice surprise. I really hope they get to that sequel All quiet on the western front is superb

[@deltablaze77]

The Harder They Fall, is by far the best Western I've seen in a long time, other than the Coen Bros little short movie collection they did a few years ago. (Edit: As always, still one of the more useful channels I'm subscribed to, thanks man!)

[@craiglortie8483]

On the dark side of the moon is a very good flick also.

[@sochin33]

Wonderful! Darren, how many movies do you watch daily?

[@mrtoecutter1927]

"The Killer" was the best thing that I've seen in a long while! I've watched it three times now and it keeps getting better and I'm finding stuff that I didn't pick up on previously. Great list man, thanks!

[@ileanahernandez1709]

I've never seen it but I will now.

[@thefisherking78]

I finally watched Gerald's Game because of this, and I DID NOT regret it! 9/10, would rewatch if I were the type to ever rewatch anything 😅

[@xjade11.11]

The Night Comes for Us blew me away! Incredible movie!!!!

[@cfrack697]

I really loved The Grey Man with Ryan Gosling.

[@erich5686]

I thought that was better directed than John Wick. I wonder if Mine (2016) is a Netflix or Prime movie ?

[@thebestdrinkever]

I’ve seen every movie on this list (but Athena, need to see that). Definitely agree with all the suggestions…except the perfection. That was super weird. The rest of the list is perfect. 👏👏👏

[@Buzzkill-wn7tf]

Seen all of these except two--and I think you have made a pretty fine list as they are all bangers for the reasons you state. But how the heck have I not watched Polar and The Platform yet? Its not like you haven't recommended them before...more than once! Maybe this weekend. Thanks.

[@probie2460]

Saw

[@thomasturpin124]

OMG!!!! I think you're the only person besides myself who have ever spoken of "The Wrong Missy". I'm proud to say I'm one of the 1,000 people who saw it and think it's an absolute gem. I've watched it at least three times. It is absurdly fantastic.

[@tiananesbitt7156]

Excellent HIGHWAYMAN Best of Costner and best story on robbers!

[@sicboi]

Triple Frontier was pretty good. Very rewatchable for sure.

[@johnsnow7836]

Great film

[@Furykidxxx]

The Night Comes For Us is brilliant, it's probably from the same factory that Raid movies came from, if I'm not mistaken, but boy those folks can do an action flicks like no others! Obviously, many of the movies on this list are thoroughly enjoyable and re-watchable as the man says.

[@Nick-Nasti]

Would love to see FC do reviews of premium series.

[@AenesidemusOZ]

The Harder They Fall and Polar are both awesome movies, thoroughly rewatchable. The Platform surprised the hell out of me; I started watching out of boredom but really got hooked. Extraction was damned good, too.

[@seanrobertbauer2122]

The Perfection was my favorite. So many plot twists. Great movie 👍

[@nathangregory_]

Saint Nicolas......, I love it.

[@terrymaguire7647]

Hey Darren you ever consider reviewing series? Just a thought but you get more watch time with bingeing right? Love your channel

[@kuramobay2445]

The setup of The Platform reminds me a lot of Denis Villeneuve's short film, Next Floor (2008).

[@roberthiltz2741]

You reminded me that the movie What Happened to Monday was a Netflix original… I need to watch that again! Recently saw Noomi in “Lamb” and that was a wonderful, creepy flick- check it out
