What you have done with your channel is phenomenal. You now have your own studio and you also designed the artwork on your tshirts. So dope!!

[aprilleerose]

“Out of the furnace” was filmed just a few miles from my house and I remember when they made it. I watched it just because it was made here and it was EXCELLENT!

[US_Joe]

House of Sand and Fog was a real punch in the gut that stays with you - Kingsley is amazing in everything he does. Thanx for this heads up Darren! 👍👍👍

[dvillewest]

Running scared is one of the most underrated movies I've ever seen. So many genres so many twist and great acting from the whole cast!!

[pnketia]

Thank you! I just added "Upgrade" and "Source Code" to my watchlist.

[oneeyeman]

Thank you Darren for recommending "Upgrade". I just watched it and was blown away. Awesome movie!

[bigsarge]

"Upgrade" is incredible, definitely underrated. "Rubber" is cinema verite', hahaha! Great list, man.

[garystielow]

I saw Rubber several years ago and it is a fantastic weird indie flick. The premise sounds dumb, but the way it was made just absolutely works! Great recommendation.

[Lysander_Spooner]

Great call on 'Out of the Furnace'! Watched it last week and it was surprisingly good.

[Dopecheetah]

Upgrade is beyond dope! The camera man deserves multiple Oscar’s!

[Channel]

So dope that you and the misses made these shirts...Ima have to get one.

[Bamsn]

What a list- I've seen and love at least half of these and am looking forward to watching (&rewatching) the rest. Great job!

[ZekeBriarcliff]

RUBBER!!! One of my favorite "undiscovered gems." Great list as always. How do I miss these great films?

[kojikicklighter]

Upgrade and Source Code are my favorites on this list.

[kylekennedy]

Rubber!! My friends and I used to run a club in high school called the “Bad Movie Club, ” where we’d showcase all of our favorite “bad” movies to those who joined. Rubber was one of those movies! Lol
My favorite bad movie of all time is, of course, The Room.
Oh, hi Mark.
Also for those interested, other examples of bad movies we’d show were Troll 2, The Man Who Saved the Earth, Elves, Mac and Me, Samurai Cop, Leprechaun in the Hood, etc.

Great video Darren! I did notice the wardrobe change but at the immediate start of the video I knew I needed the Saint Nicolas shirt.

[SC-mqeh]

looks like a list of bangers darren! upgrade, mud, art of self defense are shamefully under the radar

Jacki Weaver was the actress nominated for an Oscar for a Best Supporting Role for "Animal Kingdom" in 2011, and two years later she was nominated again for an Oscar for Best Supporting Role for "Silver Linings Playbook". She played Robert DeNiro's wife in that one.

Badlands is based more on Charles Starkweather. Also, when you watch it, you’ll immediately recognize it’s vibe from True Romance, which took directly from Badlands. Absolutely stunning film.

Also, those shirts are killer. Some of the best merch I’ve seen on a channel. Especially love Saint Nicolaus. Might be the first shirt I buy from a YouTuber. Curious how one gets a shirt like that done. I can’t draw, but I’ve got some designs I’d love to have on my shirts.

Anyway, you’re one of my favorite channels and I love your content. Always on point with the movies and always promoting movies that I can get behind. Keep it coming!
