Roma is beautiful. Scotland is beautiful. Bentlies are beautiful. This movie is silly and totally entertaining

[@jdbankshot]

well, you finally pronounced viggo's last name correctly. a shiny gold star for you, hoss. yi-ha.

[@roel.vinckens]

For those watching on the European continent, Upgrade is on Prime in France. So check out yours as well. I'm diving in right now! Darren says jump ...

[@sleep_rZ34]

Upgrade is being turned into a TV series by Leigh Whannell. It is rumoured to be a sequel.

[@rudykraft5526]

You forgot conspiracy.

[@michaelboyes5849]

The only issue I had with Upgrade was that it borrowed plot points from so many other high concept sci-fi films that if you are a fan of those films, which I am, then it becomes painfully predictable.

[@donosborne9398]

Upgrade IS awesome!!!! Way better than a lot of big budget movies. So smart. The ending is so cool!

[@velocitymg]

One movie not on this list and hugely underrated is “The Hunt”. Do yourself a favour and find it…it’s absolutely superb and deserved so much more on release.

[@meaty_oaker_gaming]

Great video and sponsor. I enjoyed it a lot and now know what to watch.

[@gordonkrinks3775]

I watched Paris,Texas in the cinema on first run. I'd gone for Nastassja but came out scouring listings for Harry Dean Stanton. One of my all time favourite films which I can't watch that often because it completely floors me.

[@SuperLocrian]

Hey Darren! I jumped on the comments just chime in and add my recommendation for Upgrade. I just re-watched it the other night, I had forgotten the ending. Just a different and entertaining ride.

[@Lutelro]

Yes, man! There's one who came close or even to the same level of Jackei Chan! I'm talking about Jackie's great inspiration Buster Keaton!

[@82ndairbornevet]

Darren you always manage to dredge up old movies that I’ve almost forgotten about! Thank you for your lists!

[@MoeSizlak]

I saw Upgrade in the theater and it was a shocking and amazing experience. Great film!

[@RMS5006]

Great t shirt. Love Cage in Moonstruck. Mandy, Raising Arizona, Running with the devil, Joe, Wild at Heart, Con air.& Face off.

[@d.c.1059]

Upgrade looks like fire, just saw the trailer, thanks for the recommendation!!!

[@andreashaynes3346]

Great FLICK CONNECTION Darren. Remember is definitely a great Christopher Plummer movie and great to see Upgrade as your #1. An excellent sci-fi movie. Many thanks for sharing with us 👍👍👍

[@bigsarge2085]

"Doomsday" was fun, and "Upgrade" is definitely underrated, but seems to be gaining viewership recently.

[@amesmoore1534]

In Trust, Nic cage references a sandwich shop off Decatur. The shop he refers to is Pop’s Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich’s on Decatur Blvd. and Charleston Blvd. I’ve been eating there for over 30 years and he’s right - they’re a must have for locals.

[@lorq3370]

You are so correct about "Upgrade".

[@Akash.Chopra]

3:10 to Yuma is definitely in my top 3 westerns of the 21st century.

[@Pantheragem]

One of my favorite movies, and I do believe it's one of the most perfect movies ever made. One that gets better with additional viewings.

[@krochaslon1]

From someone who enjoyed 3:10 to Yuma a lot, please give also „Slow West“ a chance.

[@MrTapanes]

Glad to see Upgrade at the top. Super movie. Waiting to see Hardcore Henry on one of your lists (or have I missed it?).

[@MikeMitchell-y3m]

Neurolink is here now

[@paulburke9198]

100% Loved Upgrade , but gotta say, can't begin to imagine where a sequel would go .

[@brandywoods1227]

Your comment about dialog on Philomena made me think of this Netflix movie White Noise. The dialog of that movie kept me hooked and I really don't think I've ever seen such an intriguing script. I would definitely recommend checking it out if you haven't yet

[@sergiocolautti]

Man, what a throwback I remember Doomsday, so weird. Upgrade is great!

[@mrKWJones]

Doomsday is LEGIT! Rhona KILLS it and wish we would have gotten more from that character

[@gregchappell6462]

Listened to your recommendation on Upgrade... Awesome movie! Well picked! Also, I've seen Doomsday & loved it it. It's been years so I'm gonna re watch it again! Keep up the great videos!

[@AllThingsFilm1]

Thanks for this list. I've seen some of these, but, they are definitely rewatchable. By the way, I picked up a Saint Nicolas tee while watching this. Cheers.

[@wendyletman76]

Wow! I just watched Remember. TY! I would not have watched it without your recommendation.

[@SunlightGwyn]

13:24 Lee-Anne Liebenberg is in the thumbnail playing Viper in Doomsday (2008).

[@matman000000]

Paris Texas is an absolute masterpiece. Such a beautiful and touching story with moments of subtle comedy.

[@discgolfjunkie717]

Knock knock--who’s there-- Van Damn--Van Damn who--Van DAMN this is a good movie list

[@fancimcguffin2227]

“Swiss Army Man” caught me off guard. Then I couldn’t stop laughing. It’s not for those with delicate’s sensibilities. I’m a believer and a few scenes made me wince but laugh anyway. I feel like they pulled it off. Many won’t. 😂😂😂

[@bidensucks6792]

Always great recommendations, thanks! Watching Doomsday tonight after work. I haven't heard it it before, Upgrade was a good #1 pick.

[@byronsmith3152]

I hope you enjoyed Doomsday. I like that movie.

[@MikeMitchell-y3m]

Upgrade is a classic

[@robertweekes5783]

Upgrade is similar to Venom, but way better 😂

[@FightsGamesMaryjane]

Upgrade was so good.

[@perhms1]

I sat in a theater alone watching 9. I couldn't believe how entertaining it was and no one went to see it.

[@jafo4u508]

I loved it also

[@CohnmanTheBudbarian]

When you think of seriously underrated, 9 sits ontop of that list. Brilliant movie.

[@danielvalleduarte]

I loved it, but it felt like it was missing scenes

[@jaredbarnes5124]

I watched it years after the theater when my brother bought it for me for Christmas. I really liked it and definitely need to watch it again soon .

[@davidanderson_surrey_bc]

@@danielvalleduarte I believe 1/10th of the movie is missing; otherwise it would be called "10".

[@nathandust]

Doomsday will always have a special place in my heart.

[@viperrecords3288]

I love videos like this because there’s so many movies out and I get overwhelmed. I’m gonna subscribe if you keep making videos like this 👍

[@Lee.Willcox]

Daz, I was planning on watching Leviathan tonight (England) I still am. Not seen it since it first came out. I saw it listed and decided "YES". "Swiss Army Man" looks very odd, I have just obtained it. I like to watch you and as I do see if I can find the movies that stand out,. "Upgrade" is brilliant ! Re-watchable for sure. Thanks again, there one on the list I haven't seen and two that I will be watching again. Cheers !

[@Lee.Willcox]

Alien 1979 The Thing 1982 Leviathan 1989 !!!!! The Abyss also 1989 Prometheus 2012 Leviathan has snippets of its predecessors and some that came after. A cracking film, poorly directed, some dodgy acting in parts, but a great flick if you like any of the others above. No CGI of course. I just finished watching it. It is what it is and compared to some modern movies, it's pretty damn good. This is not a review, Daz is for that, no spoilers either. Give it a go if you have nothing else to watch.

[@msims1250]

Great list! I haven’t seen Hit and Run, but it looks like I should. In addition to being a car guy, Dax Shepard is also a motorcycle guy (as am I) and if you can watch CHIPS from that perspective, it makes it more enjoyable. Plus, anything with his wife in it, man oh man is she gorgeous.

[@gracemunroe]

I know nothing about boxing but I absolutely loved Bleed For This, brilliant movie.

[@RossPotts]

FINALLY! I’ve been waiting years for Upgrade to be available on one of the streamers I use. Gonna watch it today!

[@calisandqvist2718]

Upgrade is easily one of the best out there, deserves way more recognition!

[@tiddiesattic]

I found "Upgrade" pretty early on & really wasn't expecting much, but it became one of my favorite movies of this millennium

[@richardprice5415]

I have been hoping they would make a sequel to Upgrade as well. Such a great original action packed movie.

[@ozzy.....7383]

Own hit and run. Best movie ever. Best car ever. Forget most of it in a good way

[@daviru02]

Love the St Nicholas shirt

[@Vladtheimpaler5211]

Another solid list Darren! Thank you.

[@jimliedeka3978]

I just watched Upgrade, damn was that good. The twist really elevated the movie to another level.

[@ryukyutx7949]

Rhona Mitra was smoking hot and good in Doomsday. It reminded me of the old school British apocalypse movies.

[@Sprite8822]

I watched remember a few years ago and recommended it to loads of people. Very good movie.

[@kenknight6943]

9 is the best animated movie ever made.

[@johnwizeman3894]

What happened to Philomena happened to a lot of unwed pregnant Catholic girls in Ireland. They were forced into the convent and told they had 2 years to get themselves on their feet while the Catholic Church contracted them out to work as domestics in office buildings and hotels for 12-16 hours a day. My grandmother was one of these women; my dad was born and spent the first two years of his life in the same convent as Philomena's son. My dad was also adopted by a Catholic family in St. Louis, MO. The children born into this are often called the "Lost Generation."

[@jdwscott1522]

Police Story - just wow! Great pick.

[@kimarmstrong2010]

Saw Upgrade due to your earlier recommendation and it was awesome so thanks for that ❤

[@leodismckelvin5]

Doomsday should have been the third part to the 28 series. Should have been 28 years later

[@jiggidyjam]

Upgrade was awesome

[@XENONEOMORPH1979]

the trust is one of my favourites and i watch it many times it is a classic.

[@markmusgrave5091]

Hit and Run is surprisingly fantastic. Dax and Kristen largely play Dax and Kristen, which is cool, funny and heartwarming, the supporting cast kills it, and the cars are sick. The direction, and soundtrack at moments, are particularly good too. The movie is a b-side type of thing that you end up digging more than the “hit”.

[@Dlnqntt]

Out of no where in 2023 Lacuna Coil used shots from Doomsday for their music video. Thrilled to see it pop up on Max as I have been wanting to see it since their video appeared.

[@neekos3084]

15:23 sounds like weekend ar burnies meets rambo

[@Memphise101]

A fun action madness movie i would recommend is Hardcore Henry. Its a full movie in first person pure madness..

[@Black_Blow_Fly]

Thanks Darren ❤❤❤

[@kractass]

Appaloosa is a great underrated movie! Love Ed Harris.

[@davidanderson_surrey_bc]

It's lesser-known sequel is Tuscaloosa, the story of a baby elephant whose tooth falls out.

[@komarrek1]

Nicolas Cage in The Trust is amazing. Great movie.

[@thewebstylist]

Great list! Upgrade!! Gotta watch again and have never seen Police Story, unbelievable Chan is still about to walk, a true human super hero who’s body probably ‘died’ a hundred times where a mere Mortal would have

[@pmcmva]

Excellent choice for #1 here. Fantastic movie which I heard about here a good while ago.

[@montrose252]

UPGRADE and TAU make the perfect Sci-Fi B movie double feature!

[@Jerryrigger-jn6bi]

Just watched upgrade, when they started with Howlin' Wolf I had high expectations, they delivered!

[@EnlightenedCarnivore]

@ 7:29 Dude, sponsor aside, I must tell you...We only feed our dogs and cats RAW MEAT SCRAPS (chicken and beef) (eggs sometimes also) and they have never been healthier since we've stopped feeding them 'croquetas', aka, Kibble (?). Your dogs will thank you for it. ☝💖

[@AndrewJohnson-oy8oj]

"There's a lot of garbage in the heist genre" Yes, we're looking at you 'Lift'.

[@UpUpDnDnLtRtLtRtBAStart]

Darren - I literally laughed in sync with you after the big mommas house comment.

[@danyael777]

I find it unbelievably frustrating to watch one of your vids in search of a good film that i don't know, just to find out that i know them all already.^^ Great picks tho. Radcliffes performance in Swiss Army Man was worth an Oscar imo, absolutely genius.

[@jmcmob608]

Thank you very much...

[@ErikaKyles]

I recommend Doomsday to everyone. The ending is perfection!

[@GeeDeeBird]

Hey Darren! Really like what you do. Just you should know... I went to your store and picked out two shirts. Then, when I saw you were charging $10 for shipping, I cancelled my order. At $25 per shirt, you oughta cover the shipping, or at least make it reasonable. Cheers!

[@METALBLOOD1874]

Man heck yeah...APPALOOSA is a MUST WATCH!!!

[@redbeard36]

The outtakes at the end of Jackie Chan movies are always fun to watch. But the Police Story outtakes are bonkers.

[@richardh8082]

Absolutely love Hit & Run!

[@apoplexiamusic]

Upgrade is a damn fantastic film! I adore it!

[@mancavetheater1240]

Leviathan is underrated creature feature gem in my humble opinion 👀👍🔥 appaloosa,which I believe is directed by ed Harris is a well acted performance by Harris and one I would add to my Western collection. The Trust is one I caught and also enjoyed because of not only cage and wood,who are 2 of my favorite actors,I grew up with them but the take of the heist film and it's dry,desert location is what made this stand out for me as well. Always a pleasure kiddo 👍👏💯

[@vanessawilliams2005]

I have an idea for a show have you done the best surround sound movies.

[@amandapanda1010]

Random fact: Vinny Paz is from my state and he and his friend came into my old job back like 10 years ago. Had no idea who he was at first and I'm pretty sure he was slightly drunk lol but I have a pic with him😂

[@jafo4u508]

Holy Pope on a Rope, I can't believe I've never seen Upgrade! The movie definitely has a flair of the Matrix, Johnny Mnemonic, all rolled into a futuristic believable AI world. I absolutely loved it! Thanks for introducing this beautiful gem of a movie to me. Keep up the great reviews, I don't watch anyone else giving reviews. You're my ride or die movie guy.

[@jimigrill]

I want that shirt NAOW! :D

[@Maya_Pinion]

I would appreciate it if HBO Max would permit us to view "Fortitude" season two.

[@loladiaz3534]

remember was amazing. awesome twist !

[@onesimos1391]

9 is worth your time! ♥

[@SpencerJ289]

Omg I need your shirt

[@rustyshackleford6035]

This is a Great movie list I'm surprised that Out of Furnace didn't make though it's a Great Christian Bale movie 🎥 😁👍

[@theplanetruth]

9:29 - HDS final movie was so good.

[@Mark-ef7pi]

"Upgrade", I agree it needs a sequel, excellent movie, mind that the preview makes it seem like a dark comedy, it is not.

[@PapaBPoppin]

Clicked for Doomsday, cheered for Upgrade (ooh shit it’s Upgraydd!!) have loved those movies for years Doomsday is a wild ride. All of us were floored by the… time shift…? And Upgrade, Jesus. Robocop meets The Crow. With VERY unique fight sequences. So good

[@davidanderson_surrey_bc]

7:19 Ah, yes, SundaysforDogs... with a fresh human eyeball in every bag.

[@montrose252]

Dude! I just started watching DOOMSDAY. HOW had I never heard of this movie before??

[@jonarbuckle8003]

just remember, he didn't think the glaring omission of Godzilla Minus One dropping on Netflix deserved at least an edit for his video. He doesn't really care.

[@joePARKS]

Philomena and Swiss Army were great watches for me - i havent seen the rest - thanx

[@Igoreshkin]

Upgrade is a proper Venom for me

[@toolguybak]

Hit and Run is F’ing great! Some of the vehicles are from Dax’s collection.

[@davidanderson_surrey_bc]

This channel wins the award for the greatest overuse of the word "actually".

[@keithb4077]

Upgrade is insanely good

[@theplanetruth]

11:12 - I’ve read all RB Parker’s westerns and the Virgil Cole series is amazing. Too bad this movie didn’t generate the franchise.
