Don't forget _To Live and Die In L.A_ . That movies been at the top of my list for years

[@johnfbm]

@@matthewmoran5297 The vid shows House of David on Feb. 18 but the list at the end shows Feb. 27?

[@johnswofford599]

I watch on the Roku KZbin app, so I appreciate having the list in the video!

[@dupre7416]

I love these lists!!

[@justaguy6100]

OMG Mad Mad Mad Mad World absolutely had me ROLLING as a kid! The cast is the A list of comic actors of that time, including of course Jonathan Winters about as good as you ever could see him. Lars and the Real Girl has more heart than you might think. And Nick Cage had friends film him drunk, and he watched the video to inform his drunk performance. OOOOH and the famous "I'm walking here" line was an AD LIB! The taxi was an actual taxi that honked at them!

[@jim76hr]

I might be the only person who loves The Chronicles of Riddick

[@ajha100]

I don’t know if I loved it but I did enjoy it enough to watch it twice. Underrated movie.

[@MichaelWish]

I love it too. I'd definitely watch it over the other two it came down to it.

[@swiftaudi]

I loved all the movies. The irony is that the chronicles is different enough to keep the whole series interesting.

[@samuelpeterson9485]

Not true.

[@blastechee-3546]

There are six of us apparently now.

[@FelixCheam1]

Yes, to List on Screen. Great idea. Thanks

[@richmoody4388]

Thank you for recapping the movie list at the end of your video... I primarily watch KZbin on a Fire stick and while I can access comments from my phone I am a certified quadriplegic and it's difficult at best... you are my go-to for what to watch as I am a cinephile... really appreciate what you do for us... keep up the good work 👊✊☝️

[@rustyshackleford6035]

There's lots of Good Free movie services Tubi Crackle etc and you find a lot by searching the Google play store too

[@nevilleenglish]

Oh, Repo Men not Repo Man. Repo Man ... Harry Dean Stanton ... now that's a film!

[@KyleCowden]

When 9/11 happened, Steve Buscemi was in NYC and went by his old station, geared up and went to the scene to fight fire and rescue survivors.

[@SurgicalPrecision]

A man of legendary character…

[@JarheadCrayonEater]

I was serving in the Marines when 9/11 happened and remember hearing about that.

[@pheresy1367]

Nah! I was thoroughly entertained by Chronicles of Riddick. It had some compelling themes with great costumes... I would love to see it remade with a tighter script. But it was my favorite of the 3..... but I'm a weirdo and a costume designer.

[@StephenJohnson-jb7xe]

Actually a coworker talked me into watching it when I said it looks a bit too silly. He said it just a good action movie that is fun if you don’t take it seriously, so I watched it and he was right.

[@predatorsilver]

It's my favorite of the 3 also!

[@notdan995]

Yeah, DVD likes everything so I was shocked that he doesn't like TCoR. Vin Diesel got super pissed in interviews that so many people were asking him for a proper sequel or trilogy for that movie. I don't think he fully understood how well the movie connected with the audience. I felt like him and the writer were too scared to take on the responsibility of how huge the production would be. What I mean is that movie was so well loved that a sequel would've been a much bigger budget, with bigger expectations. After seeing how the Matrix sequels were received, that was a valid fear.

[@frentz7]

You left out -- (3:06) YES, that is Scarlett Johannsen in Ghost World.

[@tlmiller301]

The flying scene with Buddy Hackett in Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World is flat out hilarious.

[@vickiemiller4108]

I love the recap on screen at the end. Thank you

[@MrSunDevil23]

Awesome as always. Thank you for putting all these new films easy to find in one place. I appreciate the effort you put into each and everyone of your vids.

[@brkaz5864]

I love It's a Mad Mad Mad World because of the wealth of wonderful old movie stars. The cast is sensational.

[@richardbruning]

Greatly appreciate you list at the end of the show. Also greatly appreciate what you do.

[@arttus7881]

I liked all 3 Riddick movies but Chronicles of Riddick was my favourite. To each their own : )

[@KoRyuJuJutsu]

My favorite as well.

[@violentneon2999]

Chronicles is my least favorite...yet I've seen the most. They all are fun even the quick anime, Dark Fury.

[@BobSmith-dk8nw]

People who like the 2nd one - are free to be wrong. .

[@LitPathMinistry]

The first one is amazing as a standalone….the 2nd movie is even better and it should also be a standalone. The 3rd was too much like the 1st and a big let down after expecting a follow-up of the 2nd.

[@KoRyuJuJutsu]

@@LitPathMinistry - Exactly!

[@charlesrense5199]

Thats Takeshi Kitano. He came to fame in Japan as a comedian, and he came to fame to American audiences as a director and star of quirky crime flicks. I'm inclined to think he's got this.

[@shhwine]

He's amazing. Has this guy never seen Battle Royale or Brother? ( just to name a couple)

[@suckmyduck1048]

Zatoichi !

[@SojoX777]

Kitano, as an actor and director, is just amazing. Also looks to have Tadanobu Asano (recent Golden Globe winner) who is incredible himself.

[@MisterRlGHT]

@@shhwine I don't think anybody remembers Brother, which is a terrible shame.

[@Digisaurus]

Hey Darren, Another excellent video! Thanks for all you do (t-shirts included!). YES put the list in the video -- people viewing on a phone or tablet can easily take a screenshot as a reminder...

[@sherilynlum-alarcon5007]

I like the list at the end as well. Thanks Darren!

[@pheresy1367]

"implement him in a crime" It's "Implicate him in a crime"... just trying to help because I love you..... haha

[@DavidAnderson-m5c]

I noticed that too. But to be fair, he makes only the occasional verbal slip. Although he could drop the excessive "actually"s.

[@stevenlee5334]

Well done as always! And yes, I very much appreciate the summary list at the end of the video as I can take a screen shot of it when viewing on my cell. Plz consider it for a permanent addition. Thanks Darren for all your consistently excellent work. You earn my "Like" every time!

[@carolynparral8434]

I loved all the Riddick movies ... Well worth the watch ... !!! 😊

[@mustbetrippin7406]

Thx for the list DVD. Keep posting em like that if you would, I like it.

[@patpowers9210]

I'm really surprised that Darren isn't a fan of the Reacher series on Prime. For my money it's head and tails above the Reacher movies (insert Tom Cruise short joke here). Especially Season 2. Darren needs to check that out!

[@ebbhead20]

He didnt say that though... Hes not watching shows as there's not 80 days in a month and thats what you need when you work a lot... So hes never had a look im sure...

[@BobSmith-dk8nw]

There are people who hate Tom Cruise but I'm not one of them. I thought the Cruise Reacher movies were OK but other people complained that he just wasn't Reacher. Then - I saw what Alan Ritchson looked like - and I got it immediately. The Reacher in the books - as I now understand it - is actually taller than Ritchson by a few inches. Cruise is short - not just compared to Ritchson - but compared to ... me. Given the presence Reacher is supposed to have - I can see whey those other guys just could not take Cruise seriously as Reacher. Rictchson is supportive of the Cruise version though. He was respectful of Cruise's talent and basically said that there was room for more than one interpretation. .

[@50Nobody50]

@@BobSmith-dk8nw its fashionable to hate on him because religion, but he's always good at every role he does. The first Reacher film is really good, the second forgettable. The series was a perfect casting, and it became hard to see Cruise as Reacher after watching it. The only prob I have with the guy doing lists, is the same with all of them, they basically like everything.

[@MisterRlGHT]

Winchester should have Tom Cruise endorse a line of promotional tie-in bullets called Reacher Rounds.

[@patpowers9210]

@@ebbhead20 True enough, TV series aren't really Darren's bailiwick, so he gets a pass for not watching the Reacher series. Still, I'm pretty sure most people who like the movies Darren reviews would like the Reacher series a lot.

[@thefisherking78]

1:11 kinda surprised it took so long for this to be a movie. He's been a case study in security training for everyone with a secret clearance or higher for as long as I can remember, and I've had one for 20+ years

[@craigcrain822]

Reacher, Fargo, and Running Scared will be required viewing this month!

[@KenToney]

I loved Chronicles of Riddick!!! Plus it gets a 6.6 on IMDb!

[@Faustustopheles]

Reacher is awesome

[@chrissinclair4442]

Turns out the character that plays Reacher is anti American. I wonder if the audience will remember that when the new season starts. Never again for me.

[@Faustustopheles]

@chrissinclair4442 please elaborate

[@markthompson7503]

Love the pinned selections and all...

[@GREYGANDALF]

I've bought 2 tank tops and one tee shirt. Love them!! Super comfortable, well built.

[@brewsnoop]

I’ve been a fan of yours for a while but after hearing your thoughts on Fargo, I’m now a Super-Fan! After all these years and hundreds of movies later, it is still is my favorite of all times.

[@jooliagoolia9959]

Lars and the Real Girl has Ryan Gosling as a autistic guy who learns to open up to the human connections all around him. It is a beautiful and heartfelt movie that is very different and small and yet full of life and the quirks of life.

[@realbadger]

5:00 I saw _Lars and the Real Girl_ when it came it; it was so well made and engaging that I found myself _crying_ during the funeral scene.

[@BobSmith-dk8nw]

There's two stories there. One if the story of Lars. The other is the story of this community that cared so much for him they accepted what he was doing. .

[@weareallamericans7358]

Vote the List 😎👍

[@RobG1729]

Broken Rage is from Takeshi Kitano who's directed over twenty movies including The Blind Swordsman: Zatochi, Brother, Fireworks, and Sonatine.

[@nstents7781]

Ah, a cultured poster.

[@johnb3948]

Not only is Reacher back but quite possibly the best book with top tier villains

[@kevinbuja8105]

I don't k ow when but they've added To Live and Die in L.A.. That movie does not come up that often.

[@bigsarge2085]

"Repo Men," "Arctic" & "Breach" are good! "Fargo" is already classic. I had forgotten about "Ghost World" and "I'm Gonna Get You Sucka" hahaha! Looking forward to "Invincible" and "Reacher."

[@MarkZalavary]

cool list, you really naild it! 10/10

[@nothingruler14All]

Can attest to the excellence of Lars and the Real Girl. It's very moving and sweet, and also hilarious. Definitely worth the watch.

[@mark-v5z]

yes, please keep adding them to the screen. i mostly watch your vids on my TV using the KZbin app so cant see comments

[@realangrykirk]

The extended cut of Chronicles of Riddick was excellent!!!

[@bobbrown1885]

List onscreen is super helpful for me.

[@mszoomy]

Pitch Black is way up on the top of my favorite movie list. Great movies on this list

[@trevorbartram5473]

It's Roy Scheider month on Prime. 1. The Seven-Ups (from Philip D'Antoni the French Connection producer) was excellent, I hadn't seen it since the DVD era. 2. The Last Embrace was an excellent thriller from director Jonathan Demme that I hadn't seen before. Cheers!

[@donjaun540]

Thank you for your videos 🙏

[@derekgreene1191]

It's a mad mad mad mad world time classic😂

[@omega_sauce]

Looking forward to Dances with Wolves and Fargo. Both movies I've never gotten around to watching. For me, 2025 is the year of catching up on all the classics from over 20 years ago I've never seen.

[@Redshift313]

Cool shirt you’re wearing 👍👍👍

[@kellyrob4296]

Running Scared was a really good but my absolute favorite it Leaving Las Vegas. So gorgeous & tragic & Mr. Cage deserved that statue for this performance, 100%! Elizabeth Shue did a wonderful job too, playing S-E-R-A, Sera!! Heartbreaking but worth all the tears.🥀🍸💔

[@nonicknamethethird2132]

Running Scared is so good thank you I totally forgot gonna watch this tonight

[@CircumlunarFeasibility]

how can any of it be best, when there are now commercials in prime? btw, how much do you get paid by them?

[@v.h.rodriguez7997]

'Rescue Dawn' - great musical score by Klaus Badelt.

[@lisaboban]

Yes please to on screen lists.

[@massimoserafini8115]

Fun fact: the cab in Midnight Cowboy wasn’t part of the scene, he actually came out of nowhere, Dustin Hoffman improvised and they kept it in the movie.

[@traceyallen4351]

To expand, the set was blocked off to traffic. The cabby ignored the closed set signs and drove through. The rest is beautiful history.

new subcriber and watcher, just discovered your channel. really liking your format ansd tone, especily the last screen of showing a screenshot of what you've reviewed. i take ascreenshot myself, then its easdy to go search for those shows or films, great video, thanks.

[@carrdoug99]

Prime must be anticipating a lot of bad weather in February. These are some Rockstar movies! 👍👍

[@chasdrum]

You didn't mention Scarlett Johansson's role in Ghost World, one of the main reasons to watch it. Always enjoy your videos. I can usually tell whether I'm going to be interested or not. That's why you have so many viewers. On another matter, the word is "implicated." : )

[@DavidAnderson-m5c]

Reacher gets around.

[@FosterWolf]

It's going to sound weird, but Lars and the Real Girl is more appropriate for Valentine's than Past Lives, which is a lovely film, but in such a bittersweet way. Great list, man.

[@MetalTrenches]

My 10/10 I finally got around to this month on Hulu: Dinner In America

[@johnortiz1964]

My favorite composer John Barry won 2 of his 5 Oscars for "Dances with Wolves" and "Out of Africa" Each movie won 7 Oscars !!

Breach is great recommendation

[@brennencox516]

11:50 "From Korea" I've noticed recently people saying 'Korea', as if there is only one Korea.

[@chazthurgood121]

I think Broken Rage might be a satire of the Japanese Outrage movies. I think there’s only 2, Outrage and Outrage II. They are Yukuza films. The first one is a solid good movie.

[@traceyallen4351]

Is Midnight Cowboy the uncut version? I think the beginning of that uncut version explains the actions of Jon Voight's character.

That looks like Takeshi Kitano in Broken Rage, he being of Battle Royale fame, among other movies. He's unusually successful as an actor, director, and comedian.

[@redbeard36]

My wife suffered a brain injury 20 years ago. She's not as disabled as 50/50000 First Dates but she has severe memory issues, so the theme resonates with me.

[@buddyrichable1]

Does anyone remember a movie called 'The Panic in Needle Park' from 1971? Notable only because it starred a young Al Pacino. The first time I had heard of Pacino and I remember thinking this guy's going to go far. It also had Raul Julia and Paul Sorvino and was a pretty good movie.
