Dude, did you even see "Closing Encounter of the third kind" to call it an Alien Invasion film? People are GOING to laugh at you literally !!!!!

[@justaguy6100]

I REALLY appreciate you making the effort to find the good stuff on Prime. It's ridiculously hard to hunt them out there. GREAT eye you have.

[@timmytimmy17]

AUG 1st?

[@revoktorment440]

Hey Darren, What size are you and what size shirt are you wearing? For a reference when order one of your shirts. Thanks! Oh and I watched Beau is afraid not too long ago. So you were more disturbed by the Parker posey scene than the attic scene? For real?

[@stvie3]

u should probably change AUG 1 to June 1, your vids are great, btw. i love when u tell us when a movie is a tight 90, very helpful

[@sgtmarty9682]

I'm frustrated that many of these movie recommendation aren't actually available "from Prime". They channel the movie from other sources--like Hulu or Netflix--then offer you a trial subscription or you have to pay an extra fee. That's not "from Prime" when they do that. Very first-world-frustrating.

[@mistertor]

I have seen "Midnight Run" at least a dozen times. It never gets old. I love watching it with people who have never seen it before, especially if they had no idea that it even existed.

[@steverogers2603]

I’ve never seen it and am looking forward to it.

[@fastdude2002]

De Nero is a crazy ol fuk, couldn’t pay me to watch that sac ….

[@amandapanda1010]

God I love Brick. One of the first movies that got me into indies, and remains one of my favorite movies ever.

[@adaojr]

Predestination is adaptation of a classic short story by Robert Heinlein “All You Zombies” and very faithful. This, by itself, makes it a must see…

[@commandermeow6790]

I haven't seen Punch Drunk Love in 20 years. I'll have to watch it again, I remember liking it. Also Black Dynamite, _"He's super cool and knows Kung-Fu"_ I love that movie.

[@malcolmplanet100]

I remember watching The Grey in an empty theater, and like you said, the cinematography is amazing! I think it's a great story relating to the "nothing else to live for" dynamic.

[@steverogers2603]

Haven’t seen it but I’m looking forward to it.

[@GarrettWorcester]

When I walked into the room, my wife was watching this, so I saw it from the middle out. I'll add it to my list so I can watch straight through.

[@WheeledWarrior69]

"Predestination" is an incredible time travel movie! One of my all time favorites. Great acting and the twists! WOW!

[@revoktorment440]

I watch it at least one a year its so good.

[@houndofzoltan]

Maybe if you haven't seen many movies...

[@gazza750]

Read The Unmarried Mother by Robert Heinlein. The movie was based on that

[@eightysixcommunism2827]

Predestination was garbage.

[@Ninsidhe]

The ending of this film breaks my heart, every single time- talk about a situation that can never be resolved…

[@bigsarge2085]

"Johnny Mnemonic" and "Ong Bak," what awesome throwbacks! Looking forward to "The Boys" S4.

[@jotade2098]

1977 close encounters may be my fav Spielberg movie

[@michaelaldan6969]

The edge...now that was a great movie...with some great quotes....sorely underrated

[@50Theonion]

Black Dynamite ❤ AND you included the best line "but black dynamite, I sell drugs in the community" sooo good

[@nunyabidniz2868]

"Punch Drunk Love" is *continually* mis-labeled a comedy when in fact it is a melodrama at best. It does give Sandler an opportunity to display his acting chops, and Paz Vega a chance at the American market.

[@drew311stylee]

Someone wouldn't speak to me anymore after he said "Oppenheimer is Nolan's best work and it's not even close" and all I said was "Oppenheimer isn't even close to Nolan's best work." That was it. He was done with me. Good flick, but the hype machine was definitely involved in that.

[@adrianwilliamson6861]

I found it dull, tedious, contrived and so disjointed.

[@Filthyanimal9]

Whoever they are, you’re better off without them!

[@jdbankshot]

who needs "friends" like that? it is easily his worst film, by far.

[@GG-ml3vr]

Cant beleive they made probably the most important part of history so f#cking boring.

[@Xrubi]

Oppenheimer is one of the worst movies I have seen this year. It is just idiotic, and it make no sense.

[@DanieldeWeldon-n1k]

Midnight Run! My favorite comedy action movie ever! Thanks Darren, we love Flick Connection!!!

[@daver7178]

Love the channel and the Sci-Fi picks. Please keep the Sci-Fi recs as one of your focus points moving forward!

[@steverogers2603]

I watched No Country For Old Men 3 times in one week when it was released on DVD, to try and answer all the questions I had watching the movie. I could watch it again anytime.

[@jooliagoolia9959]

Do you still have questions ???? I saw a fan theory that both the protagonist and antagonist are actually two sides to the same person.

[@luciusgorgo14]

Do the shirts run big or small, you said both?

[@zandersteel3405]

I love your videos but I'm confused about your shirts in the beginning u say they run small and at the end of the video u say they run big please let me know so I can get the right fit ty

[@MarcLombart]

Midnight Run is a must see.

[@sly5346]

Wait? ✋️ DO the shirts 👕 run loose or tight??

[@donHooligan]

me and a buddy skipped out on a couple classes to go see Dracula when it first came out and a heckler at the theater made it a hilarious experience.

[@steverogers2603]

MST3K eh? I’d love to hear some of his heckles.

[@KJDogluv]

Blow out is a remake of Blow Up (1966)

[@treefarm3288]

I enjoyed Blowup in the day. This title did make me think of it. It was about a photojournalist who accidentally photographed something he had to find.

[@commandermeow6790]

I just finished watching season 1 of *"The Boys"* yesterday & what an oddly fantastic, gory spectacle it was. Intriguing characters especially Homelander. Looking forward to the other seasons but I can't imagine any of them being better than season 1??? I'll see....

[@festersmith8352]

🤣 Oh ho ho, you're in for a hell of a ride. If you think it couldn't get more Boys, you'll be really shocked. Literally! It gets wilder 🤣 I never know how to explain The Boys to those who have lost interest in super heroes, to get them interested in watching it. But no one I know is ever disappointed. There are a few I won't recommend it to, cause you know, I got a rep to protect, and wouldn't want hem to think less of me. The Boys is brilliant and fun!

[@commandermeow6790]

@@festersmith8352 Indeed it is fun. Just Finished episode 1 of S2 & again, wow. It's to the point that if I watch an episode and I'm not shocked or surprised by something then I'm a little disappointed. Great writing & acting. It's funny but just an image of Homelander & then watching a short clip is what got me interested in "The Boys" and I love it!

[@robertljazz2796]

Layer Cake is bad ass movie ,and a must see!!!

[@houndofzoltan]

Richard Prior's Brewster's Millions is also a remake of a 1945 movie of the same name...

[@craigcrain822]

Brick, Layer Cake, No Country for Old Men are awesome movies!

[@randomhandle]

"If you're...somehow...still into her." Bruh. LOL.

[@amberalexander2741]

😂😂😂 “if you’re somehow still into her”. 😂😂😂

[@gazza750]

Predestination is based on the work of Robert Heinlein called the Unmarried mother. great read and decent movie

[@techniquodigitalis]

Brewsters Millions, one of my fav movies of all time... John Candy's role as Richard Pryor's best friend in the film is legend... as always, great list ✌😜👌

[@sns8420]

August? Small or large shirts?

[@frankgonzalez222]

I've been waiting for Incendies and Brick to show up somewhere. Can't wait to see them! Great list as always, Darren.

[@mszoomy]

Excellent picks Darren thanks, lots of older classics

[@gaddamful]

request if u could list movies of which u added clips in intro please..thx for reminding us of last castle...i trieed watchin openhimer thrice ..just couldnt..ur genius

[@carrie4430]

You two couldn't deliver a bottle of milk! You lied to me first, John. - Midnight Run

[@grimper35]

Thanks again for the great suggestions!! ‘Layer Cake’ and ‘Blow Out’ are simply outstanding though. Both incredible movies. And both have the fun element of showing us two future super-stars (Craig & Travolta) in really excellent earlier roles. For Craig especially, ‘Layer Cake’ launched him. His strong performance in Cake is what got him the Bond role in Casino Royale.

[@bondgabebond4907]

Good movies but Close Encounters is NOT an alien invasion movie. Geeez.

[@Remy2947]

Another great video as always, but @6:28 you said the shirts ran small. Then @14:51 you said they run big. You may want to correct it.

[@r2153]

I absolutely love love love brick and I’m pretty sure I first heard it here. Thank you!

[@patrickstevenson9775]

Your are the best! 'Midnight Run' is my pick for tonight! 'Incendies' is superb, I have the bluray and watched many times. I wouldn't call 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind' an alien invasion movie but more an alien visitation. Thank you so much you are amazing! and you are spot on re 'Oppenheimer' btw.

[@playedout148]

Marvin look out!

[@mszoomy]

It's a great flick, you'll like it

[@Neonmirrorblack]

Brick and Looper were why I was expecting great things from Ryan Johnson's Star Wars. Fool me once... Also, Predestination was awesome.

[@andreashaynes3346]

Excellent FLICK CONNECTION Darren. Stand out films for me are Ong Bak and No Country For Old Men. Many thanks for sharing with us, much appreciated 👍👍👍

[@festersmith8352]

I'll never forget Shugare. If thats how you spell it. That dude was creepy as hell.

[@rustyshackleford2222]

Brick! I loved that movie and never hear about it. Good pick.

[@leonnahofer9138]

I love Brewsters Millions!!!

[@asdlogician6536]

Might want to edit Aug 1st to Jun 1st, if that’s what you meant. Thanks as always for the picks and the friendly format!

[@johngilbert5981]

Just wanted to clarify, when you talked about your shirts early in the video you said they ran a little small and at the end you said remember they run a little big

[@misterbaldwin]

I have always thought Layer Cake is what landed Daniel Craig as James Bond. Excellent movie.

[@artvandelay1967]

To me Layercake could be a Guy Ritchie film, and a very good one at that. Midnight Run is an alltime fave- Charles Grodin and Yaphet Kotto outshine Deniro, and hes really good in this too.

[@LibrarianMichael]

Was Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind a n alien invasion movie? They didn't invade, they just visited .

[@_JimmyBeGood]

Technically they came into our air space without permission so it is an invasion.

[@BumpyEye]

the music in Midnight Run makes me crazy and I can't watch it with the sound on

[@rustyshackleford2222]

I'm interested in seeing a list of your favorite series right now.

[@DarrenVanDam]

I rarely get time to watch series but my wife and I both recently enjoyed Fall Out a lot. I had only played one of the games a little but thought the show was great. Apple TV's mini series Blackbird was one of the best shows I saw last year, Mr. Inbetween was my favorite the year before that and Shorsey currently in it's 3rd season on Hulu is every bit as funny as any Danny McBride series.

[@OneNvrKnoz]

Brick and Layer Cake are both amazing movies! I’m excited to rewatch both

[@chascoleman6689]

Oops ADR your last blurb on your shirts you said they run a little large NOPE. its SMALL. Work is never done

[@jimyarbrough9935]

"The Boy's" is based off a comic of the same name. If you think the TV is raunchy and violent it's nothing compared to the comics.

[@kevinleonard6855]

Black Dynamite is fantastic! But you definitely have to be there for it.

[@jackofhearts1056]

As DVD would say, Sienna Miller is a smoke show in Layer Cake.

[@r2153]

Did I just see bulletproof chickens? 😂

[@Cass2184]

Ong Bak ftw. This blew my mind the first time I've seen it and still does. Tony Jaa is simply incredible with the moves!

[@richardhart9204]

The Boys is the best thing on TV/streaming at the moment.

[@luxchameleon]

"Brick" is still one of my favorite hidden gems that nobody I know has seen.

[@WinstonGuitar]

Any reviewer that's familiar with Brick has done some homework. Great movie. Another movie released around the same time that has a similar offbeat-teen flavor is The Chumscrubber.

[@joePARKS]

So true with Oppenheimer - great movie but not nearly as rewatchable as other Nolan movies

[@jotade2098]

Blow Out is a masterpiece

[@spazz954]

The end scene of The Grey was insanely good.

[@chiharutahara2698]

"punch drunk love" wicked movie! phillip seymore hoffman steals the show! as usual.

I love this channel, but I watched this entire video Just because I thought I saw The Last Voyage of the Dementer in the intro clip. Sadly it was not there…. Freakin’ Bummer😢🤨😞 I want to see that film, but don’t have a streaming service that it’s on🤬 we spend so much money, and still miss movies🤬🤬

Watched the movie Chained last night. A 2012 movie I had never heard of. 5 out of 5 stars for a pretty good disturbing movie.

Most of these movies can be had for less than $5 on Ebay... screw Amazon or any other paid subscription BS.

@@Ray_Comments-yh5bw no its not It has NOTHING to with ALien INvasion I beginning to think that you watch this literally not paying attention to say " how we're reacting to alien contact and a lot of that reaction is as if it's an invasion" when people were fascinated by it and running to the Alien

Brick is a brilliant deconstruction of classic film noir.

Layer Cake is a great book.

[@marsrocket]

CE3K is a fantastic movie for about the first 2/3, then it just kind of drags for while.

[@steverogers2603]

I took your recommendations and watched Predestination. It was well made, but the plot was so convoluted that at the end it made no sense even after reading people try to explain it. So I regret watching it and would recommend adding the warning that if you don’t like mind f**k films that leave you feeling like’ what the hell just happened’? You should avoid it. I also watched Midnight Run which was good, but not great. Some of the writing and scenes just didn’t work. Such as when he visited his ex-wife’s house and when the mob assassins shot at them even though there were 50 law enforcement agents around. I do love the location shooting of these older films and overall appreciate the film.

[@amdi8966]

Based on just 2 paragraphs I’d never take a suggestion from you serious 😂

[@eightysixcommunism2827]

In our house. We adore sci fi movies. We were physically disgusted by Predestination. DO NOT RECOMMEND.

[@MarkManner]

I usually agree with you, but I guess not on the Oppenheimer matter!

[@harrypothead42024]

Midnight Run is quintessential

[@Mrcasey2u]

Oppenheimer. Loved the movie, seen in imax. Here's the funny. Christopher Noland reinvented the imax camera, for this movie. Nothing from the original equipment is formatted for the new. Amazing and ground breaking. This was done, For a movie, That's 87% courtroom drama... 😂😂😂 His next project using the same technology will be epic, pending on the genré he uses. *B&W imax would be killer

[@_JimmyBeGood]

What is with the love for Oppenheimer? It was a good movie but putting it on a pedestal is crazy. Geez movie making has gotten so bad that you millennials think average movies are fantastic.

[@Mrcasey2u]

@_JimmyBeGood i see your point, kinda, but I'm not sure you understand my comment. May be over your head. And that's ok Smalls!
