I first saw Blood Simple in 1985 when it was released on VHS and it blew me away, I was 16 and working in a video rental store. Excellent choice for #1.

[xpkareem]

The Perfect Host is great! David Hyde Pierce absolutely KILLS IT. Throwing you off with Niles face.

[MrLando]

Red Eye is a pretty underrated Wes Craven movie. Worth a watch.

[richardstill]

Just to let you know "From Hell" is based on the Alan Moore graphic novel so was never intended to be a "based on a true story" kind of film but instead telling a fictional story with a true story as it's backdrop, and yes "Paris, Texas" is in my all time top ten, and that Ry Cooder score is haunting

[izzo]

I've seen Red Eye like 5 times. It's one of those fun movies that you put on in the background when you're doing something else. As he said, it's silly, it's popcorn-y, but it is actually entertaining. There's a part where a missile is heading towards a hotel that's thrilling.

[axelgallrein]

You haven't mentioned it, so I guess you may not know: "From Hell" is pretty much a remake of the 79 "Murder by Decree" starring Christopher Plummer. Check it out, I like both...

[dirtybird]

RockNRolla is my JAM!!! I love that movie, and Lord Of War is so freakin good! The Weather Man came out close to LOW, and Nicolas Cage is fantastic in both of them. The Weather Man is very underrated!

I like this YouTube format much better than the "shorts" version you've been using a lot recently.

[DW-ldri]

Thanks Man, we're the same age and you always point me towards some good choices I likely never would have found... and saved me a lot of time scrolling menus 😆. Its like when blockbuster had they're employees pics section back in the day, only better. Keep up the great work, I really appreciate it!

[AutoEdits]

Another good one dude! Helped me pick my viewing for this evening... you rule!

[m.rivers]

I want to see Woman walks ahead part II, where Jessica's character confronts Sitting Bull on why his people upon winning the land in battle committed genocide on the people that had the land before him. She Demonstrates the Wild Irony of his people's position and that although the Americans may not be perfect at least they allowed his people to survive.

HBO max dose an outstanding job as far as content goes you can always find something worth watching but just wanted to say thank you when ever I'm looking for a movie to watch I always go and check out your recent videos always have great options thanks so much for your time and effort

[averagejoe]

Good call on Blood Simple! I watched this back in 85 and knew it would be a classic! Definately check it out. Fyi, the feme fatal is a young Francis Mcdormand who starred in the movie Fargo.

[bicycleninja]

Always solid content here. Amazed how you can spot all these movies and give a good low-down as to why to watch.

[HelRayzer]

While Snatch is easily my favourite Guy Ritchie movie of all time being that it's my favourite movie of all time RocknRolla is such a damn good time! Cast is great, story is fun and I fell in love with Toby Kebbell for his acting of Quid! Such a fun character.

[wompa]

David Hyde Peirce is a phenomenal actor. I'll be checking out "The Perfect Host" for sure.
I enjoyed the hell out of "Lord of War." Need to watch it again.

your recent review of good Freevee films has directed me to movies i have wanted to see for a good while... thank you...

[cusman]

7:15 Eight Legged Freaks is one of my personal favorite creature features

[howardgreenwich]

You forgot to mention the score in Paris Texas is by the amazing Ry Cooder, and gives the film an additional layer of bluesy atmosphere and emotional punch. Also not sure why you didn't mention it was directed by another amazing movie genius, Wim Wenders.
