@DarrenVanDam - did you catch that Shudder has Witch 2 now?

[@koffinNAILS]

Narvik is great

[@Black_Blow_Fly]

@@BEHNDY that movie RAWKZZZZZZZZ

[@BEHNDY]

@@Black_Blow_Fly nice! haven't watched yet, going through the first one again real quick.

[@AARONANCE]

Why can't these movies be separated into chapters, instead of just listing them in the top pinned comment? (So you could go directly to the movie you want to see) Why would anyone want to purposefully inconvenience their own audience??

[@pered495]

Just poped in to say i am born and raised in Narvik, and my grandfather fought in that battle

[@swampwampagus]

I went blind into "The Stranger" and was totally absorbed. Didn't realize that this was likely a true story until about 10 minutes left.

[@karamelahi2808]

My wife and I have lived on your recommendations for years for our Friday/Saturday night entertainment schedules. You never disappoint, man. Thank you!

[@andreashaynes3346]

That was an excellent FLICK CONNECTION Darren. Agree with you on Below Zero, Beckett (I’m also a big fan of John David Washington) and Dragged Across Concrete. These are certainly outstanding films and highly recommended. I’ll be revisiting these and checking out your other recommendations. Many thanks for sharing with us 👍👍👍

[@ianmann7953]

Been on the fence about The Big 4...but as a massive fan of Headshot and The Night Comes For Us I think Darren has has just provided that confirmation for me that this may be up my street. Much appreciated Darren 👌

[@reeldeal3227]

As always, I appreciate your ability to mine for hidden gems. There are also some pretty entertaining sci-fi Netflix originals that seem to get very little attention. Anon and What Happened to Monday coming to mind.

[@tas22222]

Oh i have narvik on my list so I was happy to hear your review before I jump in THANK YOU ! love your channel !

[@manicsandwich5714]

So glad this channel exists. I check in every month or so when I’ve run out of movies that look appealing at first glance but I always know I’m missing out on some great stuff. Your insight is much appreciated my friend

[@mariohenriquez4339]

Thanks for all you do. I always find good recommendations among all your suggestions. Thankyou thankyou thankyou...!!

[@GoodForYou4504]

Great list as always! I've never seen Riddick but have seen the rest of the other Chronicles movies and loved them. Definitely worth checking out. Thanks!

[@lanacherie184]

Love your videos . Thanks for another great list ❤

[@darianwillis8520]

Always been a dream of mine to be a movie critic but could never afford to go to school for it to get work, I think it's so cool and inspiring how you have done this successfully. A lot of hard work. Congratulations! I'd make a KZbin channel too, but you kill it to hard. No point

[@devonbrian2184]

It's not in this video, but you have mentioned RRR before and I just watched it and LOVED every minute of it! It's fantastic from start to finish!

[@gregchappell6462]

I really enjoy your recommendations! They also help me save a lot of time from endlessly scrolling. And we have very similar tastes in movies as well, which is always a plus 😂. BTW, I’m loving your Army of Darkness t-shirt! If you don’t mind me asking, where did you get it? I need that shirt!

[@prabhatdreamz]

Love the fact that you topped off your amazing list with the insanely good Dragged Across Concrete. That movie was absolutely brutal.

[@leonnahofer9138]

I gotta check some of these out. Thanks Darren 🌸

[@JDH8208]

Dragged Across Concrete was awesome, loved it.

[@areformingamadon]

foreign films and series are a large part of my Netflix streaming these days

[@Kausan1]

The Stranger really drew me in. Superb

[@jameschavez5930]

Thank you for the Raycon recommendation! My wife and I ordered a pair each for our honeymoon and we saved about $40 ! We will let you know how they work! Thanks again and I love your movie recommendations!

[@ttrestle]

Dragged Across Concrete was amazing. So was Brawl in Cellblock 88.

[@taiwandao7351]

Thanks Darren, happy st Patrick’s day!

[@fryeguyfrye5520]

Man I sooooooo look forward to your reviews & commentary. 👍🏻

[@dawnmagee3354]

Thanks Darren! I was in dire need of a suggestion today and you've given me MANY! What to watch first is my dilemma now, but I think I'll start with Riddick. ☺️

[@Maya_Pinion]

Good choice...I was a lil surprised how much * Riddick* entertained me.

[@Black_Blow_Fly]

Thanks Darren !!! ❤❤❤

[@Fashion_andcoolandcute]

My husband and I love your videos we always have fun watching the movies you suggest right now four movies down from your KZbin video...keep it up ❤

[@Busdathead]

Great recommendations as always !!!!!!!!!!! Beckett looks like a good watch .

[@JeffCarlson0471]

I just watched Dragged Across Concrete yesterday and would HIGHLY recommend this!

[@dbibbyma]

Dude! I think you were spot on with Riddick. I am surprised I hadn't seen it before. I've seen the first ones and liked them a lot. Yeah, loved it and really liked the scene when everybody went like, you know, who is the Man. Mr. Badass. Thanks.

[@imranhusain6087]

I just watched The Big 4 and loved it! I hope we get a sequel. Thanks for the recommendation!

[@zerohours.]

some solid choices thanks for the suggestions

[@nemoaxe2305]

Love that you've notice Javier Gutiérrez is great actor (even though I haven't seen "Below Zero" yet) ❤

[@germainecampbell9918]

Wow, good call on Beckett. I never knew it existed because Netflix never advertised.. GREAT CALL!!!

[@uphnha]

Thank you for your work.

[@shannonelizabethkelley7822]

Your the best..I am so happy you do these videos cause I can never fi d anything to watch thanku Darren

[@billfrantz1638]

Unlike Darren, I liked Chronicles of Riddick (2004), its a favorite of mine. I don’t know what makes a bad triple A movie, I liked Jupiter Ascending (2015) and John Carter of Mars (2012) which feel just as epic 🤷‍♂️

[@mrspikiespike4807]

Chronicles of Riddick is also No1 for me, have watched about 7 times, No.2 being pitch black, and Riddick was just rubbish story & cgi.

[@billfrantz1638]

I remember being disappointed with Riddick (2013) as well, but I might give it another go. My No1 is still Night Watch (2004) and the sequel Day Watch (2006) 👍 big budget “Russian fairy tale with vampires” labeled as horror but it’s not.

[@nemoaxe2305]

Two out of three ain't bad. Couldn't finish viewing "Jupiter Ascending". The problem with "John Carter of Mars" is that it came too late, people were kind of tired of Spaces Operas, but is a really good movie

[@mrspikiespike4807]

@@nemoaxe2305 Funny that, I turned off J.A as well. But JCoM was rubbish.

[@NeverComplyEver]

Holy shit you have bad taste

[@BlockbusterKnight]

Also Craig S Zahler is so underrated! All his films I’ve loved. Great choice

[@jackiebonds4359]

Thanks Darren.

[@sandeepbcp]

good recommendations... keep it comin !

[@jerel2119]

I enjoy the movie recommendations. I was wondering any recommendations on the best movies in audio describe on Netflix or other platforms?

[@MWB73]

The Stranger was terrific. Thank you.

[@tallboy2234]

Thank you, sir!👍😀

[@yrtracingteam106]

Hé man, thanks for all the info 👍🏼 it makes things easier 🎥 I want to ask you if its possible for you to do a Netflix/ HBO ‘4k best movies’ review? Would be appreciated 😋 The Netherlands ✌🏼

[@marcus_ohreallyus]

If Riddick is ever on one of the cable channels, I always start watching it from whatever part is on.

[@jfess1911]

I appreciate the descriptions. When I hear "blood and guts effects", I know it is not for me.

[@45green1]

Narvik excellent, watched last week on your recommendation 👍🏻

[@CatLadyofUtah]

Hi! I have been following your channel for a bit. I had my back reconstructed and suffered an anoxic injury while intubated. I watch a lot of movies. I really don’t listen or watch content about movies, because they are bleh. But your choices are spot on. Thank you! Also I know it has been a minute, but the beard, the hair, you glowed up nicely. 🫶🏻🎥🎞️📽️

[@hobbyhopper3143]

Not a great Vin Diesel fan but love all the Riddick movies 😊

[@ronaldlozano2388]

Becket was a surprise, Good Flick!

[@tobygonyou5303]

Loved the Pirates movie! Good choice!

[@jyunoki3452]

Great list but can you let me know where you got your ED t-shirt?

[@stonebringer1]

I just watched The Big Four. I hope there is a sequel.

[@brakeduster]

The Baztan Trilogy was pretty good. Spanish movies but dubbed into English. I'm always willing to give dubbed movies/series a go since DARK.

[@woodya.3523]

Completely agree. Dragged across concrete was under rated and I think everyone let it slip by. Thanks for the video DVD

[@marcus_ohreallyus]

The story of the banker girl broke my fucking heart. What a sick thing for Zahler to do...and that's why I love his movies.

[@woodya.3523]

That was a true wtf moment....good call out Mike

[@lytalo]

South Korean films tend to be very good.

[@aptorres01]

Great video

[@paulthompson2374]

I love S. Craig Zahler but be warned, his movies are not for the faint of heart. They are pretty based and ultra-violent, but worth it if you can handle them. Dragged Across Concrete is a double entendre for the action and how you feel after seeing it.

[@seamusobric]

Thanks!

[@comradeJon629]

I'm a big Tarantino fan and I also loved Dragged Across... the dialogue is really smart and edgy.

[@TruckerxMGDx]

Thank you

[@darianwillis8520]

I loved you're top 2 pics

[@bimtarry]

thank you sir

[@DreamDetective]

Dragged Across Concrete was not on my Netflix but maybe it will be coming will keep checking.

[@samkeino6810]

DVD, you are really good!

[@Mayor_Of_Eureka17]

The Pirates, on it homie. Thanks!

[@jerryrigger3040]

Riddick and Beckett were very good, that leaves 8 to watch from this list 😎

[@bobalmond8257]

Could you please list the movies in the description? That would help a lot. Thanks.

[@squirrel_choker1623]

The Pirates the last royal treasure is one of my favorite movies. Its such a good movie.

[@SierenH]

Ty abt the for the dubbed stuffed...i really need dubbed as i cant read fast enough for dubbed movies....especially french and alot of asien languages

[@Bman67]

I love watching some of the foreign films on Netflix with English dubbing. That's how I got into watching many of the Korean and Japanese shows I like.

[@scoutwithoutclout]

I do too but they could get way better vocal actors for the most part. There's so many shows and movies that I want to watch but can't

[@veerendrakumar7275]

I am ur fan brother

[@abfowlie]

I thought Beckett was underrated! Very good movie.

[@Grandmama-Rainey]

Thank you for recommending movies that I should look for on the pay channels. I find navigating the channels less daunting when I know what I'm looking for.

[@rbatesmotel]

agreed. Appreciate the recommendations on this channel. Searching thru Netflix or Amazon seems to be an effort in futility at best many times

[@rodwilkins1614]

I bet you find leaving the house ‘daunting’.😵‍💫

[@Grandmama-Rainey]

You're right. I have crippling agoraphobia and have trouble leaving my house. Thanks for calling me out and making light of a serious mental health problem. You should be very proud of yourself!

[@DrFugue13]

The Stranger was fantastic, definitely worth a watch.

[@tafflewis6208]

DUDE! how bout a link for where you got that shirt? please? =]

[@georgeadcock2347]

"Dragged across concrete" is a fantastic movie. Should have won a bunch of rewards

[@thekanemonster]

Perhaps you've done one already, I just haven't looked for it. How about a "Stupid Funny Best 10 or 20?"

[@iamyourfather7761]

ok ryan gordon. imma watch all these because u are the goat in bjj

[@gstark32]

It would be helpful to add titles and links so one can quickly add the movie to ones queue. Thank you for your recommendations.

[@mikegallo5922]

he said the links are in the top pinned comment

[@tothemax324]

The Stranger is my pic of the bunch, RIP little Daniel

[@lyndaosmond891]

Love your movie videos, please can you do one for U.K Netflix. Regards Lynda

[@lbowiejr]

Riddick was the movie that made me think the Dave Bautista was going to be a legitimate actor. He played his role extremely well, especially since it was early in his acting career.

[@amunra4256]

I do think, unless I'm forgetting someone, that he's the most talented wrestler-turned-actor out there. Best at acting, I mean

[@bluebyyou7504]

He's way better than the Rock

[@retro9173]

I've taken notice even Hindi-Bollywood India movie industry have been stepping their game up in the action-themed film genre thanks to Netflix it's interesting Darren Van Dam has came across foreign made Spain, South Korea, Norwegian, Australian must-see movies etc; but somehow steers away from several underrated Indian subtitled/dubbed action, not only here but on the other flick connection "Hidden Gems" recommendation segments .. 🤨🤔🧐😕

[@kumarsourav2280]

Hi Daaren... I remember once you mentioned an old Charlie theron movie.. in which a child claimed to be his husband... What was was the name of that movie.. I m not able to recall which video was that of yours...

[@BlockbusterKnight]

The directors cut of Chronicles of Riddick is great!

[@marcus_ohreallyus]

I didn't know that existed. I'm in!

[@crawl4201]

Your awesome!

[@jonathanshaw7355]

Riddick does feel a little low budget but it’s awesome.

[@rimat007]

Becket was a great movie!

[@stealthhumor]

There are two films that I thought were really great but they disappeared. "Blood Simple" is really good but it doesn't appear anywhere. The greatest zombie movie ever made is "Rabid" because it's hot, but it fell out of sight.

[@syngen462]

Riddick is great!

[@surferles589]

The Stranger is amazing. So is Dragged Across Concrete

[@lindavanwey5044]

In your reviews like…Korean movies. Etc. could you always mention if they are dubbed or specifically subtitled.

[@robinconnor9537]

The Stranger was disturbing and great

[@donHooligan]

This is a first....i'm still working off the last list! Thank you, DVD!

[@DarrenVanDam]

Should I slow down?

[@donHooligan]

@@DarrenVanDam heck no....i've just been busy. i have poor instincts for choosing blindly.

[@DwainDwight]

Riddick is a fantastic film

[@Kurta-ej9dp]

Draged acrooss concrete It's a real surprise, a great movie

[@cynthiastrawbridge6376]

Thank you. 15:11

[@francoisgermain3991]

Dragée across concrète pas, IMO, a Hidden gem. And Gibson is... Gibson: a great actor.

[@jotighe2]

agreed about the dubbing

[@marcus_ohreallyus]

When it comes to dubbing, I'll only use it if some effort is put in. I'd rather watch good acting in a foreign language than bad acting dubbed just because I'm too lazy to read.
