Jammer dat in ons land vaak dezelfde acteurs te zien zijn alsof er verder geen talent is ... er is genoeg talent ...

[@MrJimheeren]

Dat vind ik nou juist het probleem met Nederlandse films. Er zit vaak een enorme gap in talent. De hoofdrol is prima maar dan zijn er 10 bijrollen die zo houterig geacteerd zijn dat het soms gewoon de film verpest

[@Laroling]

Ja dat. De nederlandse filmindustrie houdt erg van van 'playing safe' en vooral de Nederlandse filmacademie is best....preuts... Ik denk daarom dat veel mainstream films vaak uit dezelfde pot grabbelen met acteurs. Op het gebied van kinderfilms en kortere onafhankelijke film is er wel vaak veel meer experiment en nemen ze zichzelf iets minder serieus.

[@wosso3342]

As a Dutch film student, I feel like Dutch cinema really thrives in it's visuals and in it's sound. Most technical aspects in bigger Dutch films are well or great, but when it comes to story and acting, We don't have too much to offer yet. Every once in a while a film comes out which does these aspects well but the vast majority, which only gets bigger as the budgets get bigger, really lack in these departments which is sad to see. There are people like the comedic duo Rundfunk, who've made one tv show and one film now, who really experiment in all aspects and a lot of it is done very well. They make these almost surreal stories with strange stories and intentional over the top acting that, while not always great, can be really refreshning to see. They even take a more experimental approach to the visuals in their film, where they've given it all a very warm feeling and they use these fisheye lenses for extra comedic effect in close ups which just works so well and while they certainly have their flaws, they're much more exciting than any other Dutch filmmaker to me because they try stuff out and they really have their own voice instead of a studio's voice.

[@ZeNN-Music]

For Dutch nonsense comedies, watch 'Flodder', 'Schatjes' and 'Mama is boos'. Pure Eighties 'Gold'! ;-)

Een absolute Nederlandse klassieker met een stevige Cult status: De Lift! De film die in Nederland en Vlaanderen een ware schokgolf veroorzaakte: iedereen begon spontaan de trap te nemen in plaats van de lift! Andere Nederlandse films heb ik in de andere commentaren in overvloed zien verschijnen maar als je nog wat Vlaamse degelijke films wilt ga dan zeker eens kijken naar de films van Erik Van Looy (De loft). Zeker een must is zijn debuutfilm 'Ad Fundum' met Tom Van Landuyt (man van Angela Schijf, flikken Maastricht) in de hoofdrol over een studentendoop die misloopt...

[@Almerepresentsm4rc0]

I'm suprised i havent seen "Amsterdammed" in the comments yet. Its from the 80s so not the best special effects but a good thriller/horror. The plot revolves around a serial killer who uses the famed canals of the Dutch capital to murder random people, one of which involves a detective's girlfriend linked to the murders. Especially the opening scene is pretty well done.

[@Robin6512]

Yes. Canal boat tours got a new meaning. Sint was funny too.

Warning: do not wear mascara and bring a handkerchief) - "Hasta la vista" (Geoffrey Enthoven)

I'll always have fond memories of the 90's chess-based movie "Lang Leve de Koningin" with Monique van de Ven as the titular queen. As for other dutch-language films I can recommed the flemmish film "Ben X" (which has an amazing title if read correctly)

There’s a Dutch remake of De Loft from 2010, cinematography looks identical to the Belgian original!

[@tmhc72_gtg22c]

I liked the children's movie "Finn" There have been some Dutch TV miniseries for children that I liked such as "Zeven kleine Criminelen" "Zenith" "Caps Club" and "13 in de oorlog" They can be watched on this site, which is the website of the Dutch public TV line-up for children: www.zapp.nl/ The site has hundreds of TV programs and movies. It also has "Het Sinterklaasjournaal" which Casey mentioned in an earlier video. A guilty pleasure can be the various "Welcom in/bij de ..." series.

[@BramVanhooydonck]

I really like that you decided to dabble into Flemish culture and dialect. I always love to see videos with people's first impression on the differences between Dutch and Flemish. One film I heavily recommend is 'Bontekoe' which is about a boy joining a crew from the Dutch East India Company. If you want to see another Flemish film, I heavily recommend 'Daens' which is about the early days of Belgium's existence and how life was during the industrial revolution. Almost everyone knows the film and there are a couple scenes that are used as visual aid by history teachers.

[@ETools.]

When it comes to Germany and France dubbing about everything, it's not only about having a budget to do so. Things like Disney movies etc do get dubbed etc. It's just that we can't be bothered. XD

[@GeorgeSaint666]

Funny though... I noticed when listening to dubbed movies, I often prefer the Belgium versions. But perhaps that is because I live in Brabant? Not sure. But in general I would still prefer the english version above all. Like Frozen, is much better in english.

The Dutch being able to speak English on an internationally acceptable level is a rather recent thing. In the 1980s, my English teacher said to me that his generation were never taught or trained to actually speak English. So before the 1980s, Dutch speaking and understanding English at conversation level were a rarity.

[@annagiskes216]

I recommend watching 'Mijn Opa De Bankrover' and 'Michiel de Ruyter', but there is this old youth serie called 'De Bokkenrijders' which I also really loved!

Great review! I've been trying to find out more about Dutch film myself as well. Schneider vs Bax is another excellent one, from Alex van Warmerdam. And the classic Minous with Carice van Houten :) which people below also mentioned.

[@rdoetjes]

One of the genres we excel in, are war resistance movies. Bankier van het Verzet (Resistance banker) Zwartboek (The black book) as you mentioned. Soldaat van Oranje (soldier of Orange - also a very great stage musical) Are definitely great movies. Very well acted and super thrilling and realistic. Another one to watch is Bumperklever its a nice little thriller/horror about road rage.

[@ingedekleuver7653]

[@ikweetgeennaam8839]

I recommend the series "Oogappels". A drama series that revolves around several families living in the same town. Every episode highlights another problem/question regarding teenagers and raising them. The second season ended on a huge cliffhanger, I'm dying to see the 3rd season.

[@bont3]

I think "soldaat van oranje" is also a must, loved the vid btw :)

[@bararobberbaron859]

I would personally like to put in a word for TBS. The main person in the movie is played by a comedian, but you will forget that during the course of the movie, it's truly a great performance all around. The ending too really got me.

'Anna en Bella', 'De Aanslag'. 'Antonia' and 'Father and Daughter'. But there is also 'The Red Turtle'. Technically a Japanese production but totally made by the dutch animator Michaël Dudok de Wit. And the latest hit in dutch cinema: 'De beentjes van sint-hildegard'. A bit challenging because it is in dialect so even many dutch speakers will need subtitles.

[@caseykilmore]

Ohhhh I'll have to check some of these out for sure!!! Father and Daughter broke my heart such a wonderful short film I loved it. Definitely should of got a mention actually.

[@HenkJanBakker]

@@caseykilmore Officially the dialect is Twents, a Dutch Low Saxon dialect. But even more correctly it's Almeloos. The main character is played by Herman Finkers.

As a Dutch guy I never appreciated Dutch cinema a lot until I fell by accident in the TV business and through that in film. Because of that I became extremely appreciative.

( The English langue is seen as quite important in dutch schools. Probably also because of historical connections, but it's also useful (for business etc.) to know an highly used langue when your langue is not spoken/used that much. ) But you might already know all these titles.

I was like what the heck! haha. Then I watched it and now it is one of my favorite Dutch films. It was actually send in for best foreign language film at The Oscars, but was turned downby the academy because the film contained too much French dialogue :( Stanley Kubrick apparently said he found it to be one of the scariest films he had seen. He liked it so much that he cast Dutch actress Johanna Ter Steege (he allegedly also considered Julia Roberts and Uma Thurman) who played one of the lead roles in Spoorloos to play in his film "Aryan Papers". Eventually the production of "Aryan Papers" was ceased because allegedly Kubrick thought it would suffer commercially after the success of Steven Spielberg's "Schindler's List". Sorry for this long story haha, I just really like films. It would be awesome if you made a video about your favorite movies :)

There has also been a remake of the film in the USA. By the same director of the Dutch version, with a cast of Jeff Bridges, Kiefer Sutherland and Sandra Bullock. Is good too, but has a different ending then the original unfortunately.

[@nanodisco]

I'd recommend 'De Kuthoer', translated to 'The Columnist' for the international market. I guess translating it literally would be too offensive? I think it recently came out in Australia? Not the best Dutch film out there but a funny absurd social commentary on social media. And as others already mentioned... Spoorloos, based on Tim Krabbé's novel 'Het Gouden Ei'.

[@vincentkessels3804]

Also interesting to watch are the films Fanfare and Glass from 1958 by Bert Haanstra. Fanfare is a comedy about the rivalry between two music bands in a little village. And Glass is an Oscar winning documentary about glass production (with brilliant sound effects). Both are available on KZbin.

[@mariusb5150]

Interesting. I really liked Wildschut and Karakter

[@michelleken.]

A very good Belgian movie that is also in Dutch (Flemish Dutch) and I absolutely recommend to watch is the movie "Niet Schieten!". It's a drama that is based on a true story and is about a terrorist attack on a store that happened in my hometown (Aalst) in 1985. It's a fantastic movie, but also really emotional...

[@caseykilmore]

Ohhhh this sounds interesting!! Loving all these recommendations the only tricky thing is trying to get my hands on them while I'm still in australia hahaha

[@michelleken.]

@@caseykilmore Yeah, I get that... It is indeed gonna be pretty difficult to get your hands on one in Australia. But it's definitely worth it! :) Good luck! ;)

[@Mara-my8qj]

'Mijn bijzonder rare week met Tess' is originally a book from the author Anna Woltz and even though her books are for children I still think they are amazing and someone looking to improve their Dutch by reading should definitely try them! Especially 'Ik kan nog steeds niet vliegen' and 'Honderd uur nacht'!!

[@MarielleGroen]

I also love the movie "Michiel de Ruyter". It is an epic historical movie about the live of Michiel de Ruyter. De Ruyter achieved great success as admiral over the war fleet of the Republic of the Seven United Netherlands in the seventeenth century. It is a great movie and mostly historical accurate.

[@mrrit]

Watch Taxi, it’s one of my favorite Dutch film.

[@LivvyMitchell]

have you seen Spoorloos? It's not completely in dutch, a big part of it is in French, but it's amazing!! Thank you for your suggestions, I'm gonna try and get ahold of some of them to watch

[@obsidianwolf9966]

As a dutch person i was raised with De schippers van de Kameleon1 & 2, Pietje Bell 1 & 2 & Kruimeltje

[@carlohoenjet614]

Just anything from Carry Slee😍 Like Achtste groepers huilen niet, Kappen! And Spijt. All really good movies, I can watch them over and over!

[@bastiaan4129]

Some of my Dutch movie favourites: De Lift, Het Schnitzelparadijs, De Noorderlingen, Aanmodderfakker and Sterke Verhalen. Several of those movies are pretty recent and they are usually more fun than the "classics"

[@funfuz]

I don't know a lot of Dutch movies, but I remember watching and appreciating Romeo (1990). Someone in the comments has mentioned Minoes and I also recommend that. It's really lovely. Other films for kids I recommend: Abeltje and Blazen Tot Honderd. If we're talking about tv shows, highly recommend Otje! Flemish tv shows I recommend: De Dag, Studio Tarara and Leef.

[@elske140]

Maybe you would also like to see jachterwachter, I think it really represents a unique Dutch genre of commedy

[@Ruudos]

In 1998 "Karakter" (Character) won the Oscar for best foreign movie. Fun fact: originally the movie All Stars would have been the Dutch submission that year for the Academy Awards. However the producer of All Stars believed that All-Stars would have no chance of winning and recommended to send in Karakter instead.

[@jasperstroo6236]

I recommend Ventoux, wasn't big in the cinema's but a really good dutch movie!

[@anneliesS04]

I recommend 'Antonia', 'Van de koele meren des doods' and 'Soldaat van Oranje'. They are all classics!

[@quirijnv6793]

Have you checked Rundskop/Bullhead. It's also in Flemish, but in a very thick Limburgish accent so be sure to use subs.

[@remcodierickx157]

I came here to promote the international succes of the Flemish/Belgian movie industry! The film: Loft is translated in more then 25 languages. Bad boys for life was produced by 2 Belgians. Matthias Schoenaerts from Rundskop plays the lead in one of Netflix recent films the old guard.

[@LordCucumber77]

Soldaat van Oranje.. about students in Dutch resistance in world war 2 - with Rutger Hauer - is a major recommendation I'd make

[@TerryVogelaar]

Most current Dutch movies are not that great, but there are some exceptions. You already mentioned 'de Marathon' and I also saw a short fragment of 'Zwartboek' in this video. These are in my top 3, along with 'Stille Nacht' (a thriller from 2004).

[@joey2463]

8:02 omg that's Terschelling, reminds me of almost buried alive at the Boschplaat during my field research last year lmaooo

[@henniekolkman1421]

😯

[@JesseCremers]

What about new kids? The pinnacle of Dutch film

[@litchtheshinigami8936]

another fun thing is that in spiderman far from home there is a part where peter ends up in the netherlands.. and the part where he's in a jail with a couple of hooligans and those hooligans are actually well known dutch actors.. so when i saw that movie and recognized one of the actors from other movies i was like HEY I KNOW HIM ! a recent movie i watched recently that was dutch was: huisvrouwen bestaan niet on netflix.. it was funny.. another one i'd have to reccomend are movies like bon bini holland or pizza mafia oh and for older movies i'd have to say Lunatic.. there are two parts it's about a group of people in a mental institution all with their own odd problems.. one of them dr dolittle can speak with animals where as one of the others thinks he's an army general. it's an overall funny movie about a couple of oddballs running amok

[@pieterrosing6007]

I am so grateful the Dutch system uses subtitles over the German dubbing. Not just because, as you point out, it's where I learned most of my English; but dubbing is so immersion breaking, its almost comical. When you next watch ET try saying 'E.T. telephoniere nach house' in the time it takes the puppet to say 'ET phone home' and you'll know what I mean. I'm not a generally a fan of the genre, but Amsterdamned Is a slasher masterclass. And if you wanna see the Dutch do Dickens, try Ciske de Rat

[@LadyQAB]

There is a new movie comming to cinemas called 'de slag om de Schelde' (or the Forgotten battle) it is the biggest Dutch production since Zwartboek and a collaboration with Netflix. It is a war movie and they speak Dutch, German and English in it. It is not out yet but will be when lockdown lifts. Also I think because of the deal with Netflix it will also be released on Netflix worldwide after the premier

[@mulberriespiss9212]

My absolute favourite Dutch films are ‘De Noorderlingen’ and ‘De Poolse Bruid’. Take a look if you have yet to, I’d love to hear your thoughts.

[@NoblesseObligeify]

Im kinda surprised you didn't mention Huub Stapel, but than again i didn't watch nor was I aware of the movies in your fav list. I would like to give a heads up for 'de lift' a dutch thriller And 'het geheim van vredenhof' which is a teen drama orchestrated at Schiermonnikoog and the characters are played by the islanders. Its. Interesting i think

[@pieterrosing6007]

While not actually a Dutch movie per se, I feel 'A bridge too far' deserves a recommendation. Being mostly shot on actual location, it's about as accurate as a WW2 movie gets. And it depicts events that considered pivotal moments in recent Dutch history. and WW2 movies/docs/literature from a Dutch perspective in general, because so many of our idiosyncrasies can be traced back to those 5 years our country wasn't our own. Considering the timespan in our history, we spend an inordinate amount teaching it to our children. And we are almost religious in remembering. It's why everyone speaks English, because that certainly wasn't the case back then (Off course we also all speak German, but hey, no shame in hedging your bets). Hell, we chucked people out of planes for 60 years to honour a group of strangers that fell out of the sky one day bringing hope, only to die in route to aforementioned bridge. Understanding wat Bezet Nederland was, goes a long way to understanding the Dutch.

[@LisaKokx]

I generally don't enjoy Dutch media but I quite like Oorlogswinter, De Brief voor de Koning, and Michiel de Ruyter; all historical films (though I haven't seen the first two since I was a kid)

[@mrtnsnp]

“Karakter” is a good one.

[@edgaracostadavila204]

One ver good Dutch movie that i recommend to you Casey is the movie “Publieke Werken”, a movie about the history of Hotel Victoria in Amsterdam. The Hotel Victoria is a very old beautiful hotel in front of Amsterdam Central train station.

[@AvaAmarena94]

I’m not the biggest fan of Dutch movies but movies like Zwartboek, Soldaat van Oranje and Bride Flight were pretty decent. Also if you want to watch some romcom guilty pleasure type movies I would recommend Alles is Liefde, Alles is Familie, Toscaanse Bruiloft and Verliefd op Ibiza. They don’t reinvent the wheel but they are fun if you’re in the mood for it🤗
