I'm your host, Darren Van Dam!

Tired of looking for good movies to watch on Netflix, Amazon Prime or other streaming services? Every week I recommend a handful of the best movies on Netflix, Amazon, HBO etc. so my subscribers never run out of good movies to watch on streaming. Spending 10 minutes watching one of my videos could save you hours of searching, hours that you could otherwise spend watching good movies on streaming that you otherwise might not have ever watched or even known about.

Thanks for watching!

I've actually seen a number of Fried Barry, Color Out Of Space, Last Witch Hunter, Behind The Mask. Pretty great list.

[cdburner]

Really liked "The Empty Man", "Deadstream" was alot of fun, but "Haunt" is the one that blew me away, really one of the best horror movies I've seen in awhile.

[laurarader]

The Empty Man definitely deserves a top spot. The beginning is a must watch as it informs the ending.

[cybersapien]

"Summer of 84" is one of the most 80's - type films that was not filmed in the 80's. LOVED it!

[keithkester]

I found Haunt two years ago around Halloween and keep going back to it every year it’s a really good horror hidden gem!!

[doodlethebeagle]

Was surprised to learn younger people at my work had not heard of the 80s classic American Werewolf in London

[alanware]

When you said Nic Cage and Shudder I KNEW you were gonna mention Mandy. Surprised it didn't make this list... Incredible movie! Totally rewatchable too!

[ademozkum]

I always liked Near Dark, which was available on Shudder but I'm not sure if it still is. It stars Adrian Pasdar, Lance Henriksen, and Bill Paxton.

[tomd]

So glad to see that you included “Burnt Offerings” in your 20 overlooked horror movie gems. I love this film, Anthony James steals the show as the chauffeur.

[Destaronto_Studios]

great list. Black sheep took me by surprise. By the way, , moonlighting is finally up on hulu. Got to love the classics. Thanks Darren.

[davidbrami]

So happy to see Come True and The Guest on this list, as well as other beloved titles, but also quite the reminder for many I've always wanted to check out and never got around to. Thanks for the reminders, killer list as always 🙌🏻

[Meow-Meow]

I was a child when I saw Burnt Offerings and that one guy in it fueled my nightmares for years.

[waverlyking]

The studios considered it a throwaway but intelligent horror fans call The Empty Man a masterpiece.

[michelefrost]

I saw Burnt Offerings on cable in the 80s as a teen and it remains my top freakout movie to this day - and I both saw Amityville Horror and read the book as a kid.

[Black_Blow_Fly]

THANKS DARREN !! I’m watching at least one horror movie per day. This is a big help. ❤

[mermaid_at_heart]

YES! Burnt Offerings is a great film! It doesn't get mentioned enough. I've seen quite a few on this list and they're all quite good. Black Sheep is a riot! It's just a really fun, ridiculous (but not too ridiculous) flick.

[dustywaynemusic]

Behind the Mask is probably the #1 movie I've recommended/shown people who want a fun horror comedy they've never heard of. Loved it since I rented it on a whim in 2007.

[dfailsthemost]

The Guest is definitely worth a rental. Excellent movie.

[JoshuaKeel]

Talk to Me is one of the best horror movies I've seen in quite a while. Loved it.
