Ok, "Runaway Train" is an EXCELLENT movie with an unfortunate title that makes it sound like some cheesy train wreck schlock. The acting is SO good, no doubt in my mind John Voigt's last good movie. So glad to see it come to streaming. And "Revolutionary Road" is excellent as well for the acting. Even a small vignette by Michael Shannon, who is ALSO great in "Nocturnal Animals," an even more brilliant movie, is worth watching for that alone.

[@justaguy6100]

By The Way, "The Grand Tour" is excellent, the work these guys do, including on their own that you can catch on Prime, are the best that ever happened for "Top Gear." I know a lot of people like the new version but, man, these three are so very good together. If you like automobile history, try and find James May's doc on Prime that includes the origin of the VW Bug. Then you'll know why they had him in the trio.

[@Maria-n6t2d]

21 Grams is very good IMO.

[@one_hoop]

Amazon has the Chris Rock film as CB4, not CB4d (typo?)

[@workinprogress9613]

That's pretty sad if this list is better than NetFlix

[@ClanMcDuck]

I worked one day on CB4 as a PA. I also spent a few weeks working in a low level gig on Army Of Darkness out in the desert with the castle set. After more than a decade in the industry, that entry level job on AOD was still a highlight of my career!

[@stevebarnes5243]

Thanks Prime for all the amazing commercial breaks...NOT!

[@RickyMaveety]

Oh dear lord, commercials?

[@Ninsidhe]

@@RickyMaveety yup, on a PAID SEVICE. I can’t watch it anymore, it’s revolting.

[@Ninsidhe]

I was gobsmacked when it first happened- Prime is now garbage no matter WHAT movies they have, I do not care.

[@RickyMaveety]

@@Ninsidhe So glad I’ll be dead soon.

[@phxmiller]

This is why torrenting is booming.

[@vapidfire68]

Agreed - Dredd was fantastic.

[@andreashaynes3346]

That was a great FLICK CONNECTION Darren. It’s really good to have you selecting the best films coming out on Prime, considering it’s all jumbled up. Thanks again for your Newsletter. Always look forward to receiving it via my email. Your presentation is the #1 FILM REVIEW. Many thanks for sharing with us, much appreciated 👍👍👍👍👍

[@polarfamily6222]

Dredd is an absolute most watch.

[@jimgans8249]

Galaxy Quest is a once a year watch that never gets old, kinda like The Wizard of Oz was when I was a kid.

[@theodorerigley8639]

I agree, but I want to understand how it is that once in a while a movie seems to get everything right.

[@Juice5522]

💯

[@InscrutableObjects]

Dredd is an absolute master piece firing on all cylinders.

[@increase9896]

Nocturnal Animals is incredible. The tone of the movie is mesmerizing and I was hooked the entire time. And yes, that dude that plays the bad guy did an amazing job. He is fully captivating when he is in the scene. I really hope he plays another character of that type sometime soon.

[@jennycoyle8204]

I adore horror, and I’ve never felt anxiety watching a movie like I did watching those scenes in nocturnal animals. Incredible movie

[@bigsarge2085]

I love "Dredd" and "Army of Darkness!" "Bram Stoker's Dracula" is always a winner.

[@CerealDust-nStuff]

Bram Stoker’s Dracula isn’t available in America.

[@jcwoodman5285]

Runaway Train is very good! Simple story, but Voights portrayal is A+ and VERY memorable!

[@schulzbrianr]

"Brotherhood of the Wolf" keeps getting slept on.

[@AlthosWTF]

Le Pacte Des Loups, loved that film as a teen!

[@Black_Blow_Fly]

Dredd is one I watch over and over ❤

[@GrymmJymm]

No sequel to Dredd means we never got to see the cursed earth beyond megacity one, the badlands and it’s mutants, and we never got to see Judge Death and the other dark judges, which visually would have been dope.

[@AlgernonBrosplitz]

Did they pull the sequel again? Last I heard it was back on

[@lisaboban]

I will keep watching these videos as long as you keep making them!

[@Candyroad6arts]

Chasing Amy is Amazing! I loved it. The runaway train reminds me of Snowpiercer with Chris Evans.

[@obioraabiakam1604]

Have you seen Runaway Train because it is VASTLY different from Snowpiercer.

[@Candyroad6arts]

@@obioraabiakam1604 I just saw some scenes on this video and thought it reminded me of Snowpiercer. I didn’t saw the movie, just Snowpiercer, but thanks, I’ll check it out.

[@fnsmike]

Bubba Ho-Tep wasn't done by Raimi, but it was written and directed by Don Coscarelli of the Phantasm franchise, Beastmaster, and John Dies at the End. They definitely have a similar over the top style with a lot of humor.

[@Maddog_Mickey_Knoxx]

Dude THANK YOU !! I’ve been eyeballing Dredd for a couple years . Watched it last night after this and I’m frikkin ecstatic ! Read that mags back in the 80’s . Even made Dredd wallpaper . Great film in true spirit . Ty

[@beastmastreakaninjadar6941]

Bubba Ho-Tep is a Don Coscarelli movie; same director that did Phantasm and The Beastmaster. Lifeforce is a must see.

[@Carlos-nx4gr]

And the underrated John Dies At The End. I was surprised he didn’t mention Don as the director when he was talking about Bubba Ho-Tep.

[@grandlotus1]

Dear DVD, you provide a very valuable service. Thank you and I will keep watching you and your picks!

[@amandapanda1010]

As someone who has never liked rom-coms, I love What If so much. It's genuinely funny, and I can't lie, I cry every time I watch it. It's so sweet without being cringey.

[@chutomagh9946]

I really appreciate that you tailor your recommendations for different type of viewers. It makes your taste in movies so much more trustworthy. Comparing A Ghost Story with Terrence Malick is spot on.

[@MrDaledark]

Runaway Train!!!? ...I was beginning to think it was lost media. I'm excited to watch that again.

[@DragunovJ]

Dredd was finished, in the can, then held up due to distribution problems. The makers of The Raid found out about it and cranked out their movie as quick as they could so they could beat Dredd to the box office. So, The Raid kinda riffs on Dredd, not the other way around.

[@badasstronaut]

Dredd had some of the best action movie use of 3d effects during the drug influences.

[@patrickmassonne1919]

Runaway Train was written by Kurasawa. The script is fantastic!

[@tylee5291]

LOVE CB4! Glad it's getting some love. And ....it has Phil Hartman. Chasing Amy is also a favorite. Revolutionary Road is my favorite Kate Winslet movie.

[@OriginalGabriel]

Runaway Train is an outstanding movie; I watched that so many times on VHS I had to buy a new copy

[@fw1421]

Life Force is an awesome film. Matilda May is the most beautiful Vampire ever on screen.

[@arifsiddiqui2347]

Dredd was just amazing...even better than the first one & I am saying it even though I love Stallone

[@Les_Grossman80]

Watched Chasing Amy with my daughter. Her first Kevin Smith movie. She became a fan that day. She also loved Jersey Girl.

[@edithobrien7118]

NOCTURNAL ANIMALS and RED EYE are BOMB!

[@bnchile1]

Snack shack is super fun, I saw it in the theater and am so adding it to my blu-ray collection when it comes out.

[@joePARKS]

Nocturnal Animals is spectacular

[@Wolfsheim23]

Dredd is the best! But it was just on Netflix, so Netflix had it first.

[@Black_Blow_Fly]

Michael Shannon killed it in Nocturnal Animals…

[@ddcanonstv]

Michael Shannon kills it in everything.

[@Black_Blow_Fly]

@@ddcanonstv fuck yeah such a mega boss 🤍🤍🤍

[@edvaira6891]

Michael Shannon got both his Oscar Nominations for two consecutive movies that Darren covers (not only 2016’s Nocturnal Animals but also 2007’s Revolutionary Road….both VERY WELL DESERVED!)

[@pacanis]

I haven't seen one of your recommended movies while looking for something to watch on Prime. Good thing you have this list. I'll have to do a search for them I guess. That said, The Pledge. I found it this morning looking for something on your list. Excellent movie that I haven't seen in a long time.

[@larrydoyle907]

Hail to the king baby! Anything with Bruce is great

[@joem2267]

Can’t believe you didn’t mention Michael Shannon’s small but great performance in Revolutionary Road!

You've pointed to so many great flicks that I wouldn't have seen otherwise. Thanks! I've been racking my brain to find a movie I watched a couple of years ago. I think that it was set in eastern Europe, small band of mercenaries, supernatural elements that were attacking the small town. The protagonist opted to defend against the enemy. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

[@tyrport]

Lifeforce the great Matilda May. 😊

[@seanvolk4202]

Thanks DV!

[@discgolfer1000]

Ash vs the evil dead is the conclusion to the evil dead and was excellent, seeing Lucy Lawless playing the Queen of the dead was fun. If you haven’t watched it I highly recommend it. Tons of Easter eggs hidden in a show, like a Spider-Man fight with Ash

[@JordansMortalKombatAdven-xn3qo]

I personally enjoy all of the Chucky movies and I wasn’t against this reboot like most Chucky fans seem to have been, as a matter of fact, I enjoyed it so much back when it came out that I saw it twice in theaters, once with my best friend David and once with my Uncle Rob so, yeah it’s been since back in 2019 when it was in theaters that I’ve seen this, I’ve been wanting to check it out again, I just didn’t want to spend the money to rent it as I couldn’t find it on streaming so, thanks Darren for letting me know it is currently on Prime Video. Another one on prime right now I may watch again in preparation for Halloween is Barbarian as I think that’s a fantastic horror movie that when I first saw it on Max as I never caught it in theaters, I was blown away by the twist, I did not see the twist coming personally and when it did I literally had to pause the movie and literally say to myself “did what I think just happened in the twist actually happen or am I imagining it?” Then I rewound it a bit and rewatched the twist a second time to confirm and yeah, the twist was definitely as fucked up as I thought it was.

[@humorinpolitics56]

I really wish a streaming service would give us all of the Abbott and Costello meets... movies.

[@rodneyscott47]

Lifeforce was wild trip down old school graphics lane but the story held up to be fun!

[@carlgfunk]

The director's cut of Wolfman (the one with Del Toro) is way better. Adds so much to his character and relationships.

[@jacobpicking3063]

Idk if you’ve talked about this movie before, but 187 is on Prime rn. Really good movie.

[@kellyrob4296]

I saw 21 Grams and Revolutionary Road in theatres and although they’re very good films they are DEVASTATING. I saw Nocturnal Animals in theatre on Christmas Day w/ my adult sons….it was a BUMmer. I’d rather have seen it at home. Alone. Ghost Story was Great and really glad I saw it in a theatre. Thank you, D.!!!🎬🖤

[@theaustinfound8380]

So good at what you do keep up the good work you're my go to for what to watch

[@abbysweat9202]

I click on every DVD video, just to check to see if he compares a movie to "Michael Mann's Heat" or changes his pronunciation of Viggo Mortensen. I appreciate it when he does the hits lol.

[@keithb4077]

Dredd is straight up A+; don't miss it if you have never seen it. Devil is ludicrously good for how simple it is.

[@jmchez]

You forgot to mention the weirdest thing (perhaps) about, "Nocturnal Animals". It was directed by high fashion designer, Tom Ford. That's is odd to say the least. I don't expect Ralph Lauren or Calvin Klein to follow suit.

[@qui-gon-george]

I just went to watch Lifeforce and it's not available. Are you sure it's supposed to be for the 1st?

[@ferretgirl408]

Chasing Amy is a GREAT movie!!!!!

[@elchamber]

😂😂 Some of them were already on Netflix. Plus Netflix doesn’t charge extra to watch some of their movies and tv shows. ALSO, some MAX stuff is on Netflix too.🎉

[@WilliamNeish]

Nocturnal Animals and A Ghost Story are great movies.

[@roel.vinckens]

Nocturnal Animals killed my inner cat two times already. 7 lives left...

I would say that Ghost Story is more a emotional drama than a horror movie.

Some brilliant older movies here 🎉

[@trevora8601]

Bubba Ho-Tep is criminally underrated, luv Bruce Campbell

[@luiszuniga5037]

If he referred to "Child's Play original 2019," that is incorrect. The original "Child's Play" movie was released in the 1980s, specifically on November 9, 1988.

[@The1stDukeDroklar]

Army of Darkness didn't move in a new direction from the previous movies. It was a direct continuation of Evil Dead II. Army, Dredd, Lifeforce, and Bram Stoker’s are all classics to me.

[@andrewrodgers2180]

Thanks again Darren, more great recommendations. I really respect your picks, because we have to same basic taste, especially in the more out there films.. I have one problem with the universal monster films on Amazon. They all have a rental fee, which is not cool. I already pay for a subscription so why must I pay more fees. Money is tight now a days. I only have so much funds. I am going to check these movies this month, hope they are free this time. Also you see that some shows on PBS are available on Prime, but you have to get a subscription. Nothing like up front advertising. O well I have a lot of great films to keep me occupied. Keep on watching so we don't have to.

[@patchup]

Have we all noticed that Netflix has some movies and maybe tv that cannot be shown on the basic plan? The excuse for the paywall is "Licensing restrictions." What do you guys think about this?

[@larryjoeanderson]

Note that not all are free for prime members. Some like Lifeforce are "rent or buy'

[@rustyshackleford2222]

I've always thought Bubba Hotep is super underrated.

[@russellash8755]

I have to agree with you on Daniel Radcliffe, he's definitely underrated, he's great actor and he has done everything from dramatic roles to comedy and he had to overcome Harry Potter and had to prove that he just not one-trick pony

[@aaacinerama]

Hey Darren any chance you will do another Korean movie or series recommendation video. I really liked the last one you did. Also I have some recommendations for you that I think you will enjoy if you have not seen them. One is Mask Girl it’s 7 episodes and it is a dark stylish revenge thriller in the vein of Ballerina that I think you will like and the other recommendation is a series called Bloodhounds it is 7 episodes it is about loansharks during the pandemic preying of the weak and how these two fighters form a friendship to take them down. Stylish, brutal and very interesting with a great villain. Thanks
