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.

I have and love Tubi. Thanks for the reviews. Your reviews help me a lot.Thanks.

[teejaye]

For those who like'The Spanish Prisoner'...Mamet's 'House of Games'/1987 is a must-see. Plus 'Old Henry' is the best western last 20y.

[Aaron.Himself]

Thank you for displaying the service streams on screen! 😊

[thekanemonster]

"24 Hour Party People" is not a mockumentary. It's more of a dramatized documentary. The people and bands and places were real. It even has appearances by some of the ACTUAL musicians from the music scene depicted in the movie. Anyway, surprised you included it on this list and happy to see it promoted. Great movie.

[andreashaynes]

Excellent FLICK CONNECTION Darren. Great to see Starred Up as your #1. Many thanks for sharing with us, much appreciated. Regards to you, family and Peanut 👍👍👍

[JamesZweck-qwgm]

Liking the format for this vid. As well as the additional on screen info.

Timecrimes is easily one of the best independent sci-fi movies ever. Absolutely brilliant when it came to the time travelling. Was not muddy or muddled. Easy to follow, but intelligent at the same time. A must watch.

[kevinbuja]

House of Games is the precursor to The Spanish Prisoner. Ricky Jay made his knowledge and presence known and helpful in both of these. He is also one of my favorite character actors. Heist is also food for this.

The Hunt made me cry.

[toneloc]

Chopper is hilarious. My friends and I have been repeating lines from this movie for over 20 years.

[Duncansigurdsson]

The Hunt is an absolutely amazing movie. Makes Denmark look wonderful and terrifying all at the same time.

[SingularityMedia]

24 hour party people is semi biographical. It's based on Factory records, Steve coogan is playing a real person, Tony Wilson, and it's based on true stories, the Happy Mondays, New Order etc.

Tony Wilson the tv presenter played by actor Steve Coogan in ‘24hr party people’ was definitely not “a buffoon”.
He started Factory Records opened and managed the The Hacienda Club, he also had a very long career as a tv presenter who championed alternative and regional culture and was responsible for booking The Sex Pistols for their first tv appearance on a show he hosted. Sometimes referred to as Mr Manchester.

[StarCravingPictures]

I want to add one to your list: David Rosenthal's A Single Shot (2013).

Sam Rockwell leads with Jason Isaacs, Bill Macy, Ted Levine, and Joe Anderson. This film features Jeffrey Wright's greatest performance, and I'd say Atli Örvarsson's best score. A truly haunting film.

[bjosfbjosf]

Can't thank you enough for your channel and yes it saves time from falling down the Prime user interface rabbit hole nightmare.

[SimonWhitworth]

Awesome to see you mention 24hr Party People, just a heads up it's not really a mockumentary it's actually loose based on the real life of Tony Wilson a pioneer television presenter who promoted bands around the Manchester area, the 'Factory Recors' label which managed acts such as Happy Mondays, A Certain Ratio, New Order (the former Joy Division) etc. and eventually (with the help of the along with members of Joy Division/New Order) set up the legendary Hacienda night club which was really the mecca for the dance/rave culture in the UK in the late 80s/early 90s. So yeah just a bit of context that all the story with the music/bands was real it was just an embelshiment of the story/character in certain parts with majority still being reasonably factually correct.

[warpathh]

The Proposition is one of the best films ever made. Trust.

[gravelrhoads]

Love, love, love Timecrimes! One the absolute best time travel movies ever. I've thought about learning Spanish just to be able to appreciate it even more.

[chefds]

The Proposition top 5 all time western. It has everything
