Fantastic list. One movie on Max I don’t see anyone talking about is Strange Days starring Ralph Fiennes and Angela Basset. A cyberpunk noir thriller. I just saw it last week and frankly adored it. I never see anyone talking about this, and it isn’t even available on Blu-ray.

Love the channel. I think the best term for many Jim Jarmusch movies is "Vignettes". Many of his movies are several to many of them somewhat loosely pieced together (to me)

Thanks, Darren for all your hard work over the years in finding all these awesome movies!

This *is* a really solid list! Some great, weird choices in there too. Love it.

About Spring Breakers, before watching I happened to read a review that made a big difference. The director wanted catch the mood of a generation raised themselves and MTV, and portray the boredom and thirst for excitement. So if the movies starts slow, don't worry it's intentional for the contrast! This way you better get in the mindset of the characters. So instead of a glorification of sex, crime and violence, see it as a parody or guilty pleasure movie.

Excellent FLICK CONNECTION Darren. Great to see Peanut is in good shape and healthy. Many thanks for sharing with us. Appreciate the time you give to us with your observations and delivery 👍👍👍

I remember watching Winters Bone when it was released and was mesmerized by JLs performance.... watching that I thought she was going to be a star

Really excited to check out The Rover and Winters Bone. Havent heard of either one of those. I dont remember you recommending Rover before at all but I probably just missed that episode

Whitaker was actually a lifelong martial artist, when he made Ghost Dog, even though the movie isn’t really about that.

Thanks for the suggestions, I forgot about the Rover after you mentioned it in another video but I’ll convince the wife to watch it with me this weekend! Also, Dead Man is my favorite movie ever. Everyone should watch it once

Great list! Thanks, man.

I've only seen a few of these, got my work cut out! Thanks, man.

Good list a few things I actually haven’t seen before but always wanted to

The losers was great! Loved the cast and characters and their relationships. Would have really liked to see a few more with this crew.

Thank you! Willow creek is great if i remember correctly and been meaning to find it!

Great list. Dead Man is rambling, seemingly pointless, insanely slow and confusing...and absolutely unforgettable in a way you might quote for the rest of your life. Stick with it, and it will fuse with your brain in a way that movies rarely do.

This is a great list my only complaint I’ve seen all but 2 of these, lol. One of those two really interests me the other not so much , so thanks for a bringing a new film to my attention keep up the good work!

XLNT list!! gonna watch/re-watch about 10 or 11. Do a review of "The Mauritanian" it made me cry. AWESOME t-shirt, man.

Dead Man is amazing. ❤ I just got into Reservation Dogs and it was awesome to see Nobody pop up in it. He appears in Resident Alien too, which is also brilliant.

I have been a huge fan of Citizen X since it first came out and I saw it in 1995. I was already familiar with the story because I had read a book written by the FBI profiler who ended up assisting Donald Sutherland's character get information to Stephen Rea's detective character. And at the end of the movie Sutherland is talking to Rhea about the case and tells Rhea that the FBI agent said to him that he would be terrified that Rhea's detective character would have to be the one tracking him down if he was a serial killer. And Jeffrey DeMunn doesn't get enough credit in his portrayal of Andrei Chekatilov. Another excellent crime film from HBO that came out 4 years after Citizen X is every bit as good was Excellent Cadavers, about the assassination of Judge Giovanni Falcone by the Mafia in Sicily because of his determination to bring them to heel. Chazz Palmintieri and F. Murray Abraham have excellent rolls in the film. It should be on one of your lists.

oh yeah Winter's Bone was a heck of a movie. Very well done. And yeah I loved Ghost Dog as well. A little comedic in spots but it worked.

Good list!

Free Fire is a real hoot! It really catches the 70s vibe of the setting. And I can tell you from experience that it's just about the best depiction of how a gun fight between mostly-untrained people goes. And you'll never hear a particular John Denver song the same way ever again.

Just watched Citizen x. It was good. Thanks for the recommendation

Citizen X is well-worth multiple airings, and I'm about to add another one now! And like Darren said, you absolutely DO need to watch Ghost Dog and The Rover.

John Dies At The End is one of my favorites. The book and its sequel, "This Book Is Full Of Spiders", are both brilliant.

OMG someone recommended John Dies at the End. One of my favorite books of all time and the movie is what convinced me to read the book

You lay it all out so well that I can trust what you say, even if I disagree.

I watched "Dungeons and Dragons" on your recommendation and loved it!! It had a Princess Bride vibe:):) Thank you!!

John Dies At the End , one of my favorites, Under the Silver Lake is a unique watch, Ghost Dog cult classic, and surprised to see a few ive never heard of. They are on the list... I currently have about 500 film collection and just keep adding to it.

Absolutely enjoyed The Losers. Ghost Dog is an OG great movie.

Good list, I’ll check it out. One complaint about the video, if you’re doing a paid promotion, why ads during the video? I got an ad every few minutes and that was irritating to deal with.

I've seen about half of these, and Ghost Dog is my favorite on the list.

Ah wow thanks for The Losers and The Foot Fist Way, I really enjoyed them both, never actually heard of them, but that's why I follow the best movie channel on youyube, yours 👍

Willow Creek is EXCELLENT! Bobcat also does all the Bigfoot sounds and noises in the movie as well, check it out, it’s really creepy!

I had a friend telling me to watch John Dies At The End for YEARS. Finally gave it a swing about a year ago and I’ve watched it probably a dozen times. Holy shit I love this movie!! It’s goofy and off the wall lite sci fi in the vein of Bill & Ted and Buckaroo Banzai Highly recommended

John Dies At The End is a phenomenal book

WHAT! Under The Silver Lake is one of my favorite movies. I was hooked watching RU-vid videos and reddit forums trying to solve all the mysteries in the movie. Excellent film.

I'd love to hear more about upbeat, positive moves. Or at least ones with happy endings; also comedies please.

I've never seen Winter's Bone, but I'm 100% it's gonna be spectacular, thanks.

I agree ghost dog is one of those movies that past me and I finally watched it when it came out on the criticeon blu Ray. The movie is very good and is very grounded story wise. It’s is a movie that is philosophical in its story and doesn’t rely on expensive set pieces or explosions. It’s good character focus movie and happy I own it cause it is one of those movies to watch and watch again when you are in that thinking mindset about things in life

What movie is from the thumbnail?

The Rover was a flick that I caught by accident and it’s really well done.

I just watched INTERSTATE 60. 2002. Never heard of it and it was spectacular.

Under the Silver Lake was like if Hitchcock did Lebowski. Far out flick that I enjoyed a lot for its originality.

the investigator from citizen x is the same actor as the investigator from V for Vendetta. I have to wonder if that was intentional casting in V?

I love The Losers. The Expendables and The A-Team both came out pretty much at the same time with it but those 2 were terrible.

The Losers is one of my all time favorites for days when I just can't decide what to watch!

I just wanna know where these sexy AF thumbnails are coming from. I wanna watch THAT movie.

Citizen X was absolutely amazing...the story is shivering

Just wanted to say I saw Willow Creek in the theater and Bobcat Goldthwait was there for a Q&A. We met him afterwards and he is just the nicest guy!

I'm Vibing the Gist of Your List Hard Today. I'll refrain from recommendations (for once lol) and just gush over one title in particular. Under the Silver Lake is *PHENOMENAL.* Garfield's thus far BEST Film and one of the *BEST* SciFi Films *EVER.* 👏👏👏 i Love how in the last ten, thirteen, or fifteen minutes or so it adds Dashiell Hammett, Mickey Spillane Hard-Boiled Detective Crime Thriller to the list of Feather Accolades in its cap.

Been meaning to watch Winters Bone, love me some Jlaw. I'll check out Under the Silver Lake as well. I'm no movie buff/cinephile but I'm burned out on modern Hollywood and blockbusters. I just saw Fargo on Fx yesterday for Juno Temple. I want more of that.

Saw “Winters Bone” the first time on an airplane. Phenomenal flick. Important to remember it came before, The Hunger Games.

Man I wish I had time to watch all of your recommends

The Rover is my mad max!! Free fire is fabulous for those who enjoy close nit,one setting location films and winter's bone is grade A! Small time crime with hawkes was outstanding! Always a pleasure big D😎👍

The Losers is seriously underrated

I have watched The Losers 3 times. Really enjoyed it.

Just had to resubscribe. RU-vid has been unsubscribing me from a lot of channels for some reason. 😠 Loved Under the Silver Lake. 👍✌️

Funny you mentioned Free Fire. I loved that one and I just watched it again a few days ago after not seeing it for a few years.

Where can I get that shirt???

Citizen X was surprisingly good even though (or possibly because) it appears to be low budget. Worth a watch.

6:50 "see this? i shaved my armpits. makes me more aerodynamic when i fight" lol. i will never forget that line. so stupid. (pineapple express)

Great video, all interesting films (but check out the pronunciation of "neo noir"...

Hey, Darren! Huge fan of your videos. Code 8 Part II in 2024. Just in case you weren't aware.

Ghost dog is my favorite!

I'm gonna watch most of these (the ones I haven't already)

The saddest “love dissolves” movie HAS to be “9 1/2 Weeks”. The whole story is beautiful, vicious, tender, & cruel revealing at the end two damaged people who were just lucky things didn’t turn out worse. LOL! One of my favorites.

I love John Dies at the End. Waaayyy underrated.

I just checked Max and The Losers is mot currently listed. In these modern times, that's the way things go.

Under the silver lake was amazing

Thanks!

Also in Blue Valentine, they lived together for a long time.

Citizen X is fantastic!! One of the best made for tv movies ever made.

Citizen X has been one of my favorites for years. Anyone I meet, if they like any kind of crime movies, I tell them they have to watch it.

Ghost Dawg is an amazing freaking film I'm glad it's on max

I just saw that The Shooting is on MAX. That's a brilliant old western starring Jack Nicholson. Must watch! Monte Hellman is the man!

Here for the thumbnail. Staying for the content!

My husband and I have a vacation cabin up in Willow Creek…

The Losers was a great comics run from DC/Vertigo. If you haven't read it, you should.

I thought I was the only one who loved The Rover. It's great. Like Mad Max but feels like it could be any of us.

Cant believe I have missed GHost Dog, what a movie.

I acted opposite Danny yesterday on HBO lol

I just watched "Free Fire" because of this video. It was a lot of fun. Great call.

All the Real Girls was actually McBride's first film, but I appreciate your mistake cause it made me look it up so I could remember how much I liked All the Real Girls!!

13 is the perfect number, Flick. Better than 10, and serving the ADHD community better than 20! Bobcat Goldthwaite? The dude was a KILLER comedian; see his standup, and sitdown in the bath work. I saw him somewhere probably youtoobe. Not pg 13? You obviously have daughters. That is like trying to evade Ye olde grin reaper. Just surrender now. But, seriously, Thank you for the comedy!

I loved Free Fire, I'm going to watch it again, I'm glad it's available for streaming again, it's just a fun flick and The Losers was a fun flick, JDM was great in it

Pretty good picks! I’ve seen all of these and can also vouch for them, except Free Fire which I found boring and unoriginal with a wasted cast. Sorry! But everyone should see Ghost Dog and Under the Silver Lake. Winters Bone had four Oscar nominations so maybe hard to call it “underrated” - but great movie. Some lesser-known gems I can add that I think are still on Max: Living in Oblivion (dir. Tom DeCillo, with Steve Buscemi and Catherine Keener), Tampopo (dir. Juzo Itami, funny and sexy), and Cronos (dir. Guillermo del Toro, his first feature).

Loved the Rover is awesome. I view it as a few years before Mad Max.

Willow Creek is a little slow, but the last act is well worth the build up! Edited to 👍 Ghost Dog also.

John Dies At The End is a great film. Free Fire is Awesome. Loved The Losers. The Foot Fist Way is a pissa. Just rewatched Citizen X and still rate it. The Rover was one of the best Australian films I've seen (generally our films suck)

Winters bone is solid. Rover as well.

2 scenes from Citizen X that I really liked. The first is when Donald Sutherland / Col. Fetisov has been promoted and is now in charge of militia in the region. He's lists what Stephen Rea / Burakov had asked for years before and been denied, Burakov shall have it. And he has a phone call with the head of the FBI serial killer unit. I think an incredible thing to have manged to arranged. Fetisov tells Burakov how it turns out that the FBI admires Burakov. That Fetisov has treated Burakov poorly, not understanding the stress Burakov was actually under, and apologies. Burakov rushes out of the room, and can be heard crying. Simple scene, no fuss, a wonderfully delivered monologue by Donald Sutherland. Two men, constrained by their positions, and the expectations on men at the time, as emotional as their society would allow, unable to really express themselves. The other was Burakov tell the militia on parade how they were going to behave and conduct themselves. "Do you think you are capable of performing these task? Do you think you are capable of performing them without subtly? Without discretion? Without tact? Good"

Wow this looks like a particularly good list of films -- haven't heard of many of them thanks!

Loved The Rover.

Pattinson was amazing in Remember Me.

The Rover was amazing!

Man, I had no idea John dies at the end was from the makers of fantasm. I’ve told hundreds of people about fantasm over the years.

couldn't find "The Losers" on MAX as of 12/6/2023
