    I'm your host, Darren Van Dam!
    This list features some of the best movies on Netflix you've never seen! The many recent releases on this list include movies like The 12th man, Nocturnal Animals and 1BR. Lists of Netflix Hidden Gems are among my most popular, so hopefully you find some new movies on Netflix you've either missed or passed over.
    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!

    Just caught the very exciting Braven last night on Netflix buddy&like I just mentioned, I was very pleased😎 I adore how the film starts out,because of the Dp, wide shots of scenery of the winter season on mountain tops,than goes into tribulations at one working man's home to a employee in over his head&the darkly mess he leaves behind to a unexpected everyday kind of a guy who just so happens to be his boss!! I felt that the location was very fitting for this action crime thriller, it was in the heart of the blistering cold,something I'm very familiar with since being from Michigan and the murderous plot! Our lead gave such a different in ways,kind of performance that caught and kept my undivided attention😎 I sympathized with the character, who was a loving family man who worked hard with his inherited occupation and how he was a beast tamed&the love he had for his old man,played by the very skillful Stephen lang,who I remember first from Fire Down Below with Stephen segal and kris kristofferson, than I noticed his awesome cool performance in the mid/late 80s crime drama from Michael mann,CRIME STORY!(I really enjoyed his performance as a lawyer in that series) I haven't seen lately,drug dealers with military training! I thought that add to the threat was intriguing and up the stakes for our protagonist, making him more of a force to be wrecken with😎 such a interesting father&son bond in terror!! Out gun/out numbered,now thatd what a call a recipe for fun😎 haven't seen this approach on a regular basis since the 90s with my favorite action star,mr JCVD😎 I liked the pace because of a editor who knew what they were doing,the score fit the mood and I even got chuckles out of the actor who portrayed our antagonist lol I was well pleased with BRAVEN 😎 since I'm here,I had to mention the super duper eye catching TRIPLE 9😎I felt that film was just,not quite as entertaining but deserves to be in the same league of Training Day by antoine fuqua and Brooklyn's finest,by fuqua as well😎 such a exhilarating pace from after or before the main title roles! I felt that this film was equal to The Town,my favorite film directed by ben Affleck,because it that same relentless but thought out moved by character interaction even though triple 9 is more of a action crime thriller,it still offers engrossing character and situation while moving in hostile territory! Woody Harrelson was simply country/cool in his performance, I dont agree with the critics saying the cast was misused,I didnt even know that was kate Winslet as the wife of a imprisoned Russian gangster,WOW!! I felt if the synopsis Netflix buddy offered did NOT mentioned, "crooked cops",I would have been left in shock value after the opening heist sequence! Norman reedus was entertaining but hate he didnt have more screentime and more to do smh I always enjoyed his work ever since blade 2😎 Clifton was exciting as maverick crooked cop,he was so unpredictable! Another actor who I've liked ever since 187 with my favorite actor sam Jackson😎 I felt that triple 9 was a fresh,exciting and fast paced crime thriller😎 checkout Blood Shot,based on a comic book, starring disel, I caught it once doing laundry at my parents house on Starz&I enjoyed it😎

    Shadow is phenomenal. The director is Yang Zimou, who is very famous in Asia and is the one behind "hero" with jet li, "the curse of the golden flower" and "house of the flying dagger". Fans of martial art should check all of these movie out, not only the action is really good, the cinematography is amazing. It is like watching a live painting. He does have a color theme for each movie, Hero is mainly red, golden flower is yellow, house of flying dagger is mostly green, and shadow is gray, and they all work. Check it out people, you will not be dissapointed.

Don't know how I missed THE DEPARTED all these years but thank you for your recommendation. This is why I am a subscriber to your channel to get your excellent picks!

    Always love the lists. --“the hummingbird connection” seems to be the same storyboard Michael Lewis’s book “the Flash Boys” with just a slightly different perspective. Kind’a like Dragnet, just the names were changed to...

    I watched Wheels of Fortune the other night, because I was in the mood for something silly and light. I was smiling for the whole duration of the film. The movie is funny and has heart. Also Wheels of Fortune is like Talledega Nights, Billy Madison, and Napoleon Dynamite rolled into one. Thanks for the great recommendation. I’m looking forward to exploring the rest of the list.

    Black '47 is a very good and sympathetic look at the Irish and the British oppression in the 1800's.

    Thanks Darren! I just started watching your videos and have already watched some of your recommendations. I really appreciate the hidden gems stuff.
    I gotta say I have already seen GoodTime and I watched Shadow last week. Both really good movies!

    My wife and I watched "Hunt for the Wilder People" based on your previous recommendation and loved it. Funny and also a bit heartwarming with stunning scenery of New Zealand. Although the characters speak English we found that captions helped given their accents.

    Greetings, earthlings lol😎 just finished What Happened to Monday last night on "Netflix buddy"& let me tell you,the experience felt like the oldschool summer blockbuster movies at the theater like The Rock/Con Air/ Independence Day etc😎 I had the film added on my list after reading the synopsis which caught my attention but on that particular night,after Braven,the time length was to long for me, I couldn't make it through because I knew I would hit the hay during the viewing and that's not fair to the film or my viewing pleasure😎 after watching your video here,you mentioned the film during your brief thoughts on Close(which I also enjoyed very much,I just wanted more action but the action displayed fit the plot,even though the film felt rushed during the 3 act,using the plot twist to quickly wrap things up which I didnt mind,I liked the flip which I had previously expected and it was interesting to know that naomi character was based on a real life bodyguard🙀 plus I felt the action sequences were brutal and engrossing) so last night I decided to enjoy and that I did lol first off,it was engrossing to know that the script was on Hollywood's blacklist and one that gained notice,plus the director did the Dead Snow films and witch hunters:hassel and gretel, which I got a huge kick out of,fun thrill ride😎 as for What Happened to Monday,like I mentioned,it was a thrilling ride from the idea,the pace because of fine editing,the cast,naomi shined! It was exciting to see this actress from Sweden portray 7,well 8 if you include the role all played on the day of their name,characters simotansly, it offered such eye candy to the actress, highlighting her beauty because in Close,she was battered and bruised which gave you an idea of the characters journey and choice of profession which also effected her personal life but what happened to Monday gave her beauty a breathe of fresh air😎 it was cool to see glen close,(fatal attraction)& willem dafoe (john wick/spider mam) in their not extended but very commanding roles😎 the plot made me think of what was or is going on in china or Japan, 1 child per parents while also diving in deception from the government, powers that be! Just the setup&it wasn't drug out,of 7 siblings, hiding and trained to blend in&use each other, as a unit, to survive!! Each one is picked off,one by one because of a selfish desire and led by the heart,the most treacherous and desperate (bible reference). I do not agree with some critics who felt this film lacked character development because for one,this film is character interaction based on its plot which clearly is the title of the film lol plus,dafoe inform his granddaughters that they can be themselves behind close doors but outside, they all must be one character! We get a glimpse of the siblings in their own skin,from different hair styles to matter of opinion (I liked how one had faith in the law until she finds out that the law is flawed and very deceptive) plus one was a virgin,one was the brains(depended on the unity of family). Just the way they are picked off one by one, again,kept my undivided attention! I felt the action fit the tone and wasn't the one with jet li but from the perspective of a family in hiding,who had never experienced life together or for long periods of time outside of the walls that protected them yet imprisoned them. It didnt feel like 2 hrs and 3 min not including credits😎 I was interested, invested in what would be the fate and how from a fictional perspective😎 I like science fiction thrillers,Looper/Prospect/12 Monkeys/Arq, etc and What Happened to Monday did not disappoint, grad A+ in my humble opinion, with a satisfying conclusion😎
