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! - Zábava

Seriously folks, LIKEWISE is awesome and FREE! on.likewise.com/flickconnection
Just so you know I have twice submitted my number on your link to have a link sent to my phone for getting the app. And still nothing. So if they try to tell you no one used your link they're lying to you. I'll wait and not get it on my phone UNTIL putting it it from your link works, promise.
Really liked Dead Man Down glad to see you promoting it. And Redemption made me appreciate Jason Statham far more than I already did. Many of these I did NOT know including Below Zero, Sweetheart, several others. But Hunt for the Wilderpeople, I think anyone who loves movies should see that one.
Just one more thing: you said a lot of good things about Small Town Crime. But for me it's hard to say enough. The cast sparkles. Octavia Spencer, Anthony Anderson, Cliff Collins Jr, Robert Forster, Dale Dickey, NO small part just thrown in all of them given real effort.
Gattaca was so ahead of it's time & STILL is
Surprise not available in Australia
Seen these on your list..
Wandering Earth is superb.. CGI, acting, plot, its a very kool sci fi flick.. its not based on science,, just good science fiction.. need to watch it again..
Redemption... another superb Statham movie.. has some solid story n action.. thoroughly enjoyed it...
Legend... does it well.. another where actor is on his game, showing serious chops in a top notch crime flick.
St Vincent is one of my all time fave Bill Murray flicks... its just insanely good.......... didnt realize its 8 yrs old..
Gattaca.. a superbly twisting almost "who dunnit" "catch me if you can" sci fi flick.. great casting, great acting..
Darren, great list. I literally just saw The Nightingale last night. It was brilliant. One of the best films I have ever seen in a long time - but boy, it's hard to watch. You have to do it in segments. Still, I'm glad it made your list and it's based on real events.
Great picks Darren. I added nine of them to my list and only bc I've already seen 4 or 5 of them. Hardest part is figuring out which one to watch first!
I have often watched a large number of the movies you recommend, yet I always enjoy your take on why the films are worth the time to watch. Thank you for your well thought out thoughts on all kinds of film.
YOU ROCK .
So excited to watch some of these this weekend! Again thank you for your amazing work!
Killing of a sacred deer was F*d up. Loved it
Amazing list as always…. You never fail to provide awesome recommendations… THANKS DARREN! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
My pleasure!
Super solid list! I'm interested in seeing almost all of these. I've been spending 2 hours a day looking for stuff to watch across multiple streaming services and I end up rewatching stuff I've seen multiple times, so this is awesome-thanks!!
That's what I end up doing. Netflix should offer a cheaper plan for people who just scroll and never watch anything!
Love this list! C’mon, there’s more of us than you think! Please do a dark, twisted list. ❤️
Hunt for the Wilderpeople was such a great surprise. It introduced me to Taika and now, well, like so many others I just can't get enough of the guys work. Fantastic flick...☺
Also loved that movie. My oldest daughter and I cracked up on numerous occasions and we both loved it for all its quirks and great characters. Highly recommended to anyone who needs/wants a different styled comedy (and a big THANKS to Flick Connection - I'd never heard of it until one of his videos).
If you liked Wilderpeople, try Boy, an earlier Waititi effort with the same aesthetic but half the budget.
It wasn’t what I thought it was, but I enjoyed it as well. It has a sweet and endearing quality, you don’t see a lot of that these days.

@@little_wonderer9290 He's a bad egg, that one.... 🙂
I love your recommendations and always look forward to your videos, it's my weekly treat. A huge 'thank you'!
I really enjoy watching your recommendation videos and largely agree with most of them. I've been subscribed for a while and have yet to hear you mention one of my all time favorite movies... Things To Do In Denver When You're Dead. I'm not sure if it's streaming on any platforms right now but I highly recommend checking it out, if you haven't done so already.
Both the creep factor of the Clovehitch killer and Dylan McDermott's range were must see impressive and ott! Believe ,enjoy and appreciate everything Darren says about the Nightingale!
Only other title I've seen is the unique ,little gem Sweetheart.
Look forward to Wilder people.Great video, Darren!xx
The Nightingale, Legend, Clovehitch Killer...these are some of my favorite films! Great list.
Hunt for the Wilderpeople is a wonderful and darling film. A must see. I really enjoyed The Clovehitch Killer. I was so worried about the boy and wanted him to really find out what he needed to. The Nightingale is a very, very good film. Very intense but another character you are very much rooting for. Thank you for yet another great list.
Great list, man! Dont know where to begin, there's so many good ones. I appreciate what you do.
That sponsor Likewise (I just downloaded the app DVD) is Amazing!! Ingenious way to suggest the best movies per all the favs you input after signing up, def the future and it’s even free!
You got me intrigued with Legend. Your recommendations are always fantastic.
Loved this! Great job!
I rarely subscribe to anything because everyone is begging for it. I have made an exception for you because your presentation and content are excellent and you give good pointers. This is perfect for me as I sometimes run out of choices on Netflix, Amazon or Disney. Good job, please carry on.
Great Video...
All the "what to watch" in one place.
I took notes while watching.
I watch a LOT of movies and gotta say, you did a great job on this list. Lots of gems there I never heard of. Time to jump in and see these recommendations. Thanks for the video!
Thank you Darren for ferreting our such good movies that we might have overlooked or not seen for awhile... I know I can count on you
Great selection. Nice work.
Finally, someone that actually recommends overlooked movies that are actually overlooked. Props bro.
Hi Darren, since finding this channel a few weeks back I have watched a number of movies you have recommended and loved them. I would never have found them had it not been for you. A big thank you #flickconnection
I agree with your list 100%. I especially enjoyed "The Clove Hitch Killer," and "Small Time Crime."
Thank you for recommending St Vincent. Watched it after watching your review and I loved it!
Great, great, great list!
Now I'm off to see "The Killing of..."
Thanks Darren!
So glad you’re giving The Nightingale love! I’ve watched it at least 3 times over the last year and I’m always telling everyone about it’
;-) I am so thankful to have stumbled on this. Really helped. Love from Nairobi.
I’ve actually seen about half of these. Sacred Deer is an amazing movie. I’ll definitely be checking out a few of the ones I’ve haven’t seen yet.
I couldn't understand it...especially the ending
I'm Happy you mentioned Nightingale and Gattaca !! My pick also ! Thanx Darren >> J D
Thanks for recommending The Killing of the Sacred Deer. I am that 1 in 100 viewer that doesn't really like 90% of your recommendations, even on your other lists, but love stuff like this. I remember the reviews from when it was first released, was intrigued, but then never saw it and - sharing an account with my wife and family - never saw it in the recommendations.
Darren, you're a master at what you do and I appreciate recommendations. You really do an amazing job breaking movies down in a couple of minutes. I've enjoyed quite a few of those hidden gems that I certainly would have never found on my own.
I ran across a pretty twisted one last night that made me think of commenting just to make sure you've seen it. "The Feast" on Hulu right now is pretty twisted. Check it out if you haven't seen it yet, I think you'll want to include it in one of your reviews of the dark European flicks.
Take care and keep up the good work.
Just watched Avengement. Absolutely loved it!
I must be getting old because I've seen 90 percent of these recommendations. Still, it's nice to go back. I tend to watch movies once, then forget about them. Keep doing what you're doing man.
Great list and thanks.
Riders of Justice is one of my favorites from 2021.
GATTACA!!! One of my all time faves! Beautiful soundtrack too!
I never comment on videos like this but I'm definitely subscribing. Ur taste in movies is the same as mine. Thanks for all the great recommendations I'm gonna start watching now
I'll check out some of these, thank you.
I'm delighted that you have Gattaca on the list. It's one of my favorite movies. Sleek, sexy, magnificent!
One of the best list you have ever done! 😮 so many good movies here
PERFECT TIMING DARREN 😍😍😍
Second video where I see mismatched movie titles, where previously mentioned title appears as the title for another one further in the video. In this case - "Dead Man Down". You probably move movies up and down the chart before publishing, but forget to take the titles with them (I'm guessing). Not a big deal, just thought to let you know.
Loving your channel, been following for almost 2 years. Thank you for amazing work! 🤘
Very nice presentation. Well done.
This was incredibly useful -
Many thanks
Hunt for the Wilderpeople is definitely a must watch. Loved it.
Holy unaware of "Hunt for the Wilderpeople" and now I'm SO STOKED to see it. Jo Jo Rabbit was so good - even his Mandolorian episodes are good. Thanks for the recommendation!
What a list! From Killing of a Sacred Deer to Gattaca, you have something for everyone in there!
Thanks for Hunt of Wilder.....Super fun movie I needed. Thanks!
Hi Darren I just across this channel and I found it interesting. I also like the movie choices.
Nicely done!
'The Killing of a Sacred Deer' was a great film and I'm going to watch it again. I loved 'The Lobster' too though. I would recommend you watch 'The Lobster' first, it is a little easier to digest and if you like it, go on and watch Sacred Deer. I love the to experience films that approach the world through a very different lens. On the flip side, 'Hunt for the Wilderpeople' is absolutely brilliant for everyone.
That was an excellent presentation of OVERLOOKED FILMS ON NETFLIX, Darren. Big stand out movies for me that I can highly recommend are-
BELOW ZERO, REDEMPTION: HUMMINGBIRD, AVENGEMENT, LEGEND, THE NIGHTINGALE & GATTACA. Many thanks for sharing your critique on these great films. Catch you on your next FLICK CONNECTION 🌟🌟🌟
Brilliant review very helpful thanks
I tell everyone I know to watch Gattaca. I love when I get to say, “I mean, it’s right there in the title!” It came out when I was in 7th grade and I’ve probably watched it 20 times and I still love it.
Do you tell them what each letter stands for?
@@CorbCorbin I mean, I know they are letters in genetic code but I don’t know if you mean something more specific?
@@abbysweat9202 If only there was a way to look things up.
I am so glad I stumbled across this! I have just watched the shows for Netflix and they were excellent! I especially loved St. Vincent. It is so nice to see a list of movies that is not sci-fi or marvel avengers or other not real movies.
Netflix has so many movies yet I probably end up watching 1 out of every 30, seems all themes have been covered & hard to find something that will keep you watching till the end.
Then, by accident, I started to watch a Spanish series ( only BC I found that you could watch it dubbed)
1) Money Heist - Absolutely brilliant. It has it all, for me it has been one of the best series I have watched on NF in the past 4 yrs.
Cannot recommend this enough
2) Sky Rojo. Also a Spanish gritty, what you would not expect, it hooks you in from the start, very clever script, plot & characters.
The way in which both series have been dubbed is amazing too, the voices actually suit each character, which is rare, hard to pick that they are actually dubbed.
I cannot recommend these 2 series enough!
Hope you at least check these out & place them on your list 🤞
The Nightingale & The Hunt for the Wilderpeople, are worth watching.
Thank you for the recommendations!
👍🇦🇺
I never understood why Gattaca wasn’t a bigger hit. Great story, stellar cast, just a really well done film.
Hi , would you consider oldies but goodies recommendations? For ex: Bound with Gershwin & Meg tilly.
You recommended Eagle vs Shark (Hulu) Loved it! Thanks!!!
Absolutely love The Killing of a Sacred Deer. I’m become a fan of Yorgos Lanthimos since I was first introduced to him in The Favourite
Great list. FYI for Sweetheart, you have Dead Man Down as its title in the video
Dudeeeee! Love the recommendations but that last one. I had literally forgotten Gattaca existed. It’s the movie that made me fall I love with syfy. I saw this when I was little and it was absolutely amazing. Truly ahead of it’s time and a great storyline. Thanks for remind me of this movie. Seen and would recommend #s 16 and 1. Added #s 12, 9, 8, 7, 3, 2, and 1. I wanted to add 11 but it’s not there anymore sadly. I’ll find it
I don't know if it's still on Netflix but I loved the movie The Void. I absolutely loved St Vincent and The Killing of a Sacred Deer.
Hello it’s tim from the uk . I’ve just found you . And can’t wait to watch all those films .
One film I suggest is Mickey Rourke bullet .
It’s never ever mentioned? Why I don’t know it brilliant.
8:04 Sweetheart movie is discussed BUT “Dead Man Down” title shows up. Why? Just saying.
-San Francisco fan girl
it's a mistake sweetheart,
VanDam is brutally honest how he reads everyone's minds how we love certain movies is magic people will overlook movies on a constant VanDam will bring back the 'magic we neeed! VanDam like we need great lovers a happier life🇬🇺👍🏾🙏🏾
The only movie I would recommend is "A Sun". Absolutely heart-touching movie and criminally underlooked.
Recently watched 'Captain Nova' on Netflix. It's a charming sci-fi time travel movie from Holland. Great story with laugh out loud moments, which I can highly recommend. 'ARQ' is also worth a watch, and if you haven't already seen 'I Am Mother', 'IO', and 'Extinction', then also check them out...
"The Killing of a Sacred Deer" was much better than I anticipated. Colin Farrel should stick with these smaller independent films, his ability really shines in these roles. Great selection.
He's so good in "In Bruges".
Just watched Avengement, wouldn't have watched it without your recommendation. Subscribed.
Oh man, Gattaca is AMAZING.
To me I always pair it with the other Jude Law sci-film "eXistenZ", they both came out in 1997, and I think I double featured them at some point. Might have to dust off those DVDs for a viewing soon :)
Always great, I'm glad when I've seen a few of your recommendations, the Clovehitch Killer is one so I have a BUNCH to catch! I saw Death Note, it's an anime series and while I know you don't have any anime, and very few series, I'd recommend it to you
Gattaca is a perfect choice for the top spot. You've an amazing taste in movies! Keep it up!
Great list. One of my favourites is Signs with Mel Gibson and Joaquin Phoenix. It's a Sci Fi Flick with lots of humour and emotional depth with aliens.
Love your T-Shirt, where can I get one?
Your recommendation of the Alpinist made me think of Murderball. There's no real reason. I just thought of it. It's a documentary about quadrapalegic rugby. It's very uplifting.
The Clovehitch Killer was on a Stephen King list of best disturbing movies he recommended. Great list to watch some movies this weekend. Rain is expected all weekend so plenty to stay busy with.
I saw The Clove hitch Killer and also had to look up to see it wasn't a documentary based movie. Acting is superb by everyone but especially by Dylan.I also really liked Small Town Crimes great actors.I don't particularly like very gorry movies however I will try some of your recommendations. By the way I don't mind reading the captions in other language movies, I'm lucky to know at least two.
I just watched it last night and thought it was excellent. I definitely did not expect a couple things to happen, which I love as normally I can predict everything in most movies. I really loved it!!
I’m pretty sure the movie was influence by a Stephen king story. So, yeah I can understand that he would like it.
Great list. Gattaca & Hunt for the Wilderpeople are great!
This is great list. I've seen a couple on here and I want to watch the rest.
Dead Man Down and Avengement are great action flicks for the thinking man, good stuff. I remember liking Sacred Deer but have forgotten it, so it may be time to revisit. Will check out Wandering Earth and Clovehitch tonight, Thanks Darren.
The Homesman... Swank and Tommy Lee Jones.. wow... just.... wow.. gritty, disturbing.. twisting.. western..
for the old timers... "Run Silent Run Deep"......
yes.. its.. 60 yrs old ?? maybe 70 ?? dont recall.
but, i swear.. it still holds up, with the pure drama, action, more drama, nail biting... its just good old fashioned WWII era B&W movie with two A List actors at the top of their game.
ok.. this is a genuine "popcorn" flick... "Driven"... with Stallone... pretty sure his only role where he is the star.. but, yet.. not the lead ?? and a racing flick... enjoyed it.. its not a nail biting drama, but, the racing and cars and atmosphere are really fun..
Great list as usual. I too like some bizarro movies and in that vein I’d like to recommend “The Big Nothing” with David Schwimmer, and Simon Pegg. Fargoesque.
Gattaca will always be one of my most favorite films. Equilibrium as well. Both fantastic.
TOM HARDY IN BRONSON! My favorite Tom. Hardy film. I’ve seen 15 out of 18 on this list, I feel bc of your previous recommendations. I’m going for Avengement, Sorry to Bother You and Beirut. St Vincent is Excellent!! Thanks as always for your recommendations Darren! I’ve been a subscriber for years. A couple of years before your new studio. 👍👍
One of my favorites is THE PERFECT HOST
Thanks Darren, I think I'll go watch Sweetheart, that sounds good
“Redemption” is great. Loved it!
At the risk of usurping Darren's role here, I am going to suggest a movie that is on Showtime right now, but only for some of you. It is called "American Insurrection", and is about a group of people hiding from a militia that has taken over a not-too-distant and resultantly dystopian America (think Handmaid's Tale). While it is a low-pro indie film, there is a lot of heart here, and the story is harrowing and fairly riveting throughout. At times it's a little heavy handed thematically, but the last act was above and beyond what I expected, and that is why I'm suggesting this film. It was so affecting I'm still thinking about it these several days later...just my two cents. Thanks Darren for what you do; I love your videos.
Recommend: Toc Toc, a Spanish comedy. You'll see yourself in it. And Big Bug, a French sci-fi comedy where the bots takeover. Both excellent stories and art direction
Another dark film starring Nicole Kidman is Lars von Trier's "Dogville." Strange flick, very artsy. I liked it a lot more than I thought I would.
Another offbeat Kidman film is "Stoker." Great directing and acting, very visual.
I have a feeling I'm going to love "Sacred Deer."
super informative
You are on fire. Good list. So happy for you. Never forget. Balance. Looking forward to your future picks. Goodnight 🌙😴💤
I just paused the video watched Avengement. Pretty good movie! Thanks for the recommendation!
Have you guys mentioned Tale Of Tales? It used to be on Netflix for awhile. Super underrated.
Once again you come through! Great list. After Goodfellas and Boondock Saints, Legend is my pick for a rewatch. But EVERYONE should watch Hunt for the Wilderpeople! Thanks for that recommendation long ago. John Hawkes is so incredibly underrated. Oh the things you teach me!
I first noticed John Hawkes in The Perfect Storm. His acting was authentic while everyone else, Clooney, Wahlberg and especially the lesser characters, were melodramatic past the point of corniness.
You made a mistake by putting up the title Dead Man Down instead of Sweethouse. I mean this in the most respectful manner. I am grateful for your work
Now this was a DOPE list. Seen mabe all but two movies shown. Great for people who missed alot of good movies in there past.
Great movie, Hunt for the Wilderpeople! Enjoyed " Let me in " is a fun little vampire movie a movie that has you liking the vampire and you know you shouldn't.
