    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!

      One note about Lucky, it was basically about HDS. He wasn't married, had a hobby of singing Mexican love songs, practiced yoga, and was made basically to honor him.

    My approach to all the streaming services is to subscribe to one at a time. I watch all the stuff that seems interesting over, let's say 3 months, then I cancel the subscription and go to the next one I'm interested in. (bonus points if the first month is free!) Wash and repeat.

  • @BobSmith-dk8nw
    @BobSmith-dk8nw Před měsícem +11

    It seems to me - that _Lucky_ was made as a tribute to Harry Dean Stanton by people who respected him. He's been in all kinds of movies as a supporting actor and I guess they just wanted to give him a Starring Role in something.
    It is a touching film.

      Always liked him in the David Lynch Series an movies. One thing that always stood out with me was the Fire Walk with me film where the FBI agents are investigating the dirt mound they find a ring and the camera pans to him, he says/ If I remember correctly, "I've been to a lot of places, and seen a lot of things" I don't want to see any more. And years later David Bowie turns into a Tea pot. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Great list. Great channel.
    I've seen a few of these and will take your recommendations on the rest.
    Also, the Zone of Interest is unlike any movie I've ever seen and definitely unlike any movie I've ever heard.
    Either headphones or a nice home theater system is absolutely necessary for it.
    I think it should probably be number 1 on your list, but the other films above it are pretty awesome.

    Infernal Affairs is a better movie than The Departed. It is more subtle… and the soundtrack is great. I saw it back in 2004, that’s also probably why The Departed looks more like an American style remake of the original. The two others, IA 2 and 3, and not on the same level as 1. I believe it was the highest grossing Hong Kong action movie… probably ever?! Maybe Darren can look that up.
