Oh man, your synopsis of "My Octopus Teacher" reminded me of the short time I was a volunteer diver at the local zoo many years ago. I was charged with feeding the Anemones, and doing light tank cleaning while I was in there. My recollection might not be super accurate after 20+ years, but this is as best as I remember it. In addition to the Anemones, there was a single eel in the tank. He had a reputation of being grumpy, as whenever a diver entered the tank, he would go hide in a crack between the rocks and the tank side, and not emerge until after the diver left. One day, instead of just dropping the fish pieces into the crack he was hiding in, I reached in and gave his tail a gentle shake and waited (the crack he hid in wasn't large enough for him to turn around, so his tail always stuck out). Then another little shake and wait. Surprisingly my ploy worked after a short while and he emerged from his hidey-hole! I removed his allotted 2 pieces of fish from my bag, showed them to him, and dropped them in front of his face without getting too close and scaring him. My next day to go in the tank comes around, and the same thing happened, though I did have to give his tail a shake 1 or 2 fewer times before he came out to be sociable. The third week in this narrative rolls around, and I start feeding the Anemones first, one by one, as usual. It should be noted here that perfume/cologne, deodorant, and I think even soaps are strongly discouraged in the wildlife tanks. The diver's weights even have to be sand and not lead. But somehow, the eel sensed it was me and this time emerged from his hiding place to swim between my legs as I was feeding the Anemone! Surprised and happy at this apparent show of affection, when it came time for the eel to be fed I took it one step further. Showing his fish piece to him, I dangled it between my fingertips and let him swim much closer before I dropped it, and he easily caught it before it dropped to the pea gravel (?) bottom. To my knowledge, I was the first and only diver he would come out and play with, and for the remainder of my time that I volunteered there (sadly only about another 4-6 weeks or so, before my "real" job had me too tired to continue volunteering at the zoo) he would play around between my feet as the Anemones were fed and when his turn came, come close to eating right from my hand! The main reason I never tried that last step was that I wasn't sure how good his eyesight was and eels have some pretty sharp teeth! I didn't want to get bitten by accident. That was a pretty special thing though, enough so that you made me remember it over 20 years later.

Space Sweepers was a really fun watch that caught me off guard with its style and originality. I liked that they leaned into the R rating a little bit because this genre doesn't typically do that...South Korean films in general I believe have been underrated for quite some time now. Solid list as usual my

My Octopus Teacher is the best thing I've seen in a very long time. An utterly unique and beautiful experience.

Blood Red Sky was awesome. When you can take a genre that’s been done to death and inject something new and interesting into it… that takes talent. Really enjoyed it.

Blood Red Sky is one I’ve been recommending to all my horror buds. I loved it a rather emotional movie, I thought it was very unique.

Fire list, mah dude. I've watched a bunch on here already. I'ma check out Oxygen, The Vault, Major From, and Beckett. Thanks for the hard work.

I saw Synchronic and thought very well of it. I've noticed several of these others you mentioned and wondered about them, REALLY glad you took the time to look them over and review them!

Superb recommendations list, Darren. Some I’ve seen, a few I will definitely be seeing and your #1 recommendation, Beckett, is outstanding. Everything you say about it, is so true !!! Just awesome work, Darren and many thanks. See you soon and take care all ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thanks for having the Paper Tigers on the list! The story of how the director got it made is very interesting too

Hey DVD, You remind me of the guy at the Blockbuster or Video Wonderland that everybody would go to for recommendations. I'm sure you probably would have had a section in the store called Darren's picks. I miss that guy and you are doing a great job of filling in for him. Thanks so much for your channel.

A “like” for your efforts. Thank you, as always. Space Sweepers is a lot of fun and a great watch. It isn’t as silly as GothG. It was more a kind of fun Expanse crossed with GotG. It was worth a watch for me.

I’ve only seen a handful of the movies on this list: Blood Red Sky, Army Of The Dead and Gunpowder Milkshake, and I agree that those were pretty good. Looking forward to checking out some of the others, now.

The Mitchells vs the Machines was absolutely fantastic. Made it into my list of all time favorite movies. Everything about it is exceptional!

I think I speak for all when I say we really appreciate all you do....I watch WAY too many movies but there’s always one or two I have missed...or forgot about...thanks Darren

Great List as always! I've seen a few on the list but I always like beefing up my Netflix list with your recommendations. I saw on a previous list that you had a few movies I saw, one being Spectral but I haven't seen ARQ or IO on any. Those are 2 movies from Netflix I think are pretty good. Also check out the show Ares. It's a Dutch show but it def has that weirdness factor

Watched "Blood Red Sky" last night. Excellent twist on tired old vampire tropes. Would actually make a good new film trilogy or even series for Netflix if Nadja were to survive (or any of the vampires for that matter)... Last time I enjoyed a vampire flick was "30 Days Of Night" when I saw it on release in the theater 🤙!

I liked “Beckett” too. He was a hero that wasn’t afraid of fear. Kinda hard to watch. But I stayed with it. My family and I just saw it a few hours ago. Good evening. Thank your for your blood, sweat and tears.

This is an excellent list, I have seen almost half of these already, and I look forward to seeing the rest!! love all your videos.

The Dig was extremely interesting, well made and mostly true. We love it.

Great list and thanks for your channel! I’m ALWAYS lost and looking for a good movie or show on Netflix, etc. That takes more time than watching an actual program. 😹😹😹 I’m super addicted to anything with subtitles from any country. I’m partial to Spain because I lived there, but I can genuinely say they do have both awesomely directed and well written movies and shows a lot of the time. Full of action and always a PLOT TWIST. 😂 Below Zero was great! 🤩🤩🤩 Just watched Beckett…good one guys! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

I love this guys channel and his recommendations. Always spot on recommendations and analysis.

"My Octopus Teacher" was amazing though I'm still stewing over why the filmmakers didn't intervene at the end with that shark 😠.

Blood Red Sky is really top notch!

Your list was on point. I have a few to see but excellent recommendations.

I always enjoy your lists, BUT this is the first one that I am straight goal setting to get em all. Thank you!

Heard and seen was great, thank you, you can tell you put a lot of time and energy into this.

I lost track of how many of these I've already watched but as always you're spot on with your review and recommendations. I actually did watch The Dig, not typically my thing but it was very good. Blood Red Sky was great and the The Vault were great tho I totally agree with you about how they went a little over the top with the vaults rooms and surrounding areas especially considering the time period it was built.

Thanks Darren for providing this service. You always deliver, never steered me wrong.

Army of the Dead was like "How many throwbacks to classic movies can you catch?". I feel like he took every zombie movie to the original Aliens franchise and put all his fav's in a jar and reached in and pulled out strips and laid them out and said "we'll make a movie this way" so it's filled with so many classic throwbacks and I could barely spot them all. It's just a ton of fun. Things Heard and Seen I watched bc of you and it was pretty good.

Major Grom was so different and entertaining and super happy to know that they are working on a sequel already.

My Octopus Teacher is amazing. I've watched it 6 times and have enjoyed it more each time.

As always, love your recommendations

This channel is obviously your calling. You really do it well. Usually, I can't watch these review videos all the way through, but you really hold attention.

Loved “Beckett”. He’s a great actor which is no surprise considering who he’s related to - even sounds like his dad.

I have noticed lately that dubbed movies are getting much better.

I would add Rurouni Kenshin: The Beginning to the top movie list for Netflix. Please do a review on it. I think you would enjoy it.

As always I’ve seen all the movies u put on here and I agree, especially the major grom movie. It’s very good, but there’s some scenes that had me scratching my head. Keep it up going to check out becket this weekend

Been waiting on this list. RESPECT

I really enjoyed “dig”. I thought it would drag, but it had a very strong story and great characters

Without this video I never would’ve clicked on Becket or even found the movie. Thank you for this one. It’s actually a very good movie 🍿

I love the synthwave tracks you use as background; can some one please point me to them on spotify or where ever they're available?

Hey Rob. Love the videos. Have you thought about time stamps in the description for people rewatching the video looking for a specific movie

Absolutely loved Synchronic!!!

I'm going to see Beckett, was about to watch and didn't so now with your number one pick gunna check it out!

I watched The Dig and thought it was very well done. Character development was done with such sincerity. And the ending was good.

Although two very different movies, Blood Red Sky and My Octopus Teacher were top notch for me. Blood Red Sky was a very entertaining twist on the vampire genre and My Octopus Teacher was beautiful and amazing. Love your list!

Thanks Darren! Seriously a lifesaver during this "IT'S TOO F-ING HOT AND I'M NOT MOVING" heatwave. I'm going to watch Beckett right now, and then I'm going to South Korea for some gangster shit! Thanks for getting us through! You never let me down!

you're awesome, thanks for all the flick picks!

Watched Beckett based on this recommendation. I guess it got too built up in my mind. It was okay, but lacked a lot. We hated the way it just suddenly ended. We were literally saying, please don’t end here, please don’t end here. Left lots of unanswered questions. It’s a decent watch all in all, it had some disappointment as well.

Good reviews. Thanks for the honesty and keeping the name of the movie on screen while you describe it.

I really enjoy your videos and I like your TV Series and Movie reviews, they are more in depth and explanatory than other reviews that I've seen, happy to subscribe, and look forward to more videos from you.

The opening credits of Major Grom is the best omage to a James Bond movie opening I've ever seen.

My roommate and I loved Blood Red Sky. What a balance of vampire needs vs a mother's love. Beautiful shots, terrific story. I love a movie that you have no idea how it will end, and the ending is so tragic and so satisfying. That's for the steer. Keep'em coming!

Thanks again D. I overlooked a bunch of these picks.

Really love your stuff man. I wish I could afford to join your patreon.

Thank you. I will be watching 1. Beckett 2. My Octopus Teacher 3. Below Zero 4. Blood Red Sky 5. The Vault 6. Night In Paradise I am especially grateful for your channel right now, as I have an illness that not does not have a happy ending and I am currently injecting myself with a semi-experimental drug (at $5000 a pop~thank you insurance) that has some nasty side-effects. I am also going through a slow and careful steroid withdrawal which is very uncomfortable. I feel really crappy everyday and I use movies to motivate me to self-care and house chores. Even if I do not reach my goal on the self-care and house chores, I still reward myself with a movie for making a good effort. So your lists are rocking my world right now. The movies take my mind away from my current situation and give me a 2 hour vacation from my sucks-to-be-me condition.

Always good suggestions and explanations why they're good.

I wasn't going to watch The Ice Road or Below Zero, but you talked me into it.

Looking forward to blood red sky, the vault, and Beckett. Had no clue these movies were on Netflix and excited to watch

Yo, I love the way you do these reviews. It gives a really good insight into the films without giving away the movies and the reviews seem so genuine and honest. Good stuff. #liked & #subscribed

This is a phenomenal list!

We've seen quite a few of these movies and they were a good watch, my grandson liked Vivo seen it twice but loved Mitchell vs the machines. I think We've seen that around 20 times, I think it was on repeat, then everyday till he found Kipo.I liked Blood red sky ,Beckett, Army of the dead,Ice Road. I most have watched I say maybe 14 of the 20 and enjoyed them all. Watch Night in paradise with closed captions and the Spanish ones in Spanish since we're Spanish. Thanks for the review

Always love your intro's. 👍

Once again an incredible list of great movies. I loved Blood Red Sky and Synchronic,Army of the Dead is a first class B movie.

Great vid thanks. You weren't dis'ing 30 Days of Night were you? You were the other one you mentioned but hope you didn't incl 30 Days.... I enjoyed your comments but stay aware of the flow. Around #10- you kind of lost it for a bit but got back on track. You had a lot to say and you did so well.

thank you so much! Beckett and Major Grom were awesome!

Loved the Paper Tigers. Marshal arts aside, this is a subtly funny movie.

Definitely checking Beckett out. Wasn’t even on my radar. This is why you are the man!!!

Thumbs up for Beckett, The Ice Road, Synchronic, and Blood Red Sky!

Thanks! I’m about to check out Beckett and the vault.

I liked "Things.....". "Blood Red Sky" was good it gave the vampire genre a new twist.

Stiiiiiiiiill waiting for the South Korean gangster list......❤

I enjoyed Paper Tigers and Ice Road. Loved Gunpowder Milkshake ! Space sweepers, really? Overall I am waiting for an Enola Holmes 2 and whatever happened to the 2nd season of Warrior Nun ???

Once again you always bring at least 1 movie I havent seen. Thank you for doing these.

I am so glad I listened to you about Gunpowder Milkshake. Crazy movie. Reminded me a little of Baytown Outlaws. Thanks for the reviews.

I am so glad I subscribed to your channel, most of those I hadn't seen or even heard of, but are now on my list to see. I have unfortunately seen Army of the Dead, sub plots that went no where, impossible amounts of things helicopters can carry, plot holes that make sieves look water tight, so disappointing. On the other hand, Space Sweepers, was well made, intriguing plot, with a twist, & a great cast of relatively unknowns. As a suggestion from me, Love & Monsters, sounds like the sought of film that should go straight to video, but blew me away with it's version of after the apocalypse, you have to watch this movie.

Really liked things heard and seen, agree it has issues. Also thumbs up for Synchronic! Blood Red Sky was a decent watch after a few adult beverages.

Solid list as usual. Loved The Dig and Blood Red Sky. I know; I’m weird.

I enjoyed Becket, but it kind of felt a like everything was a little too subtle. I definitely want to see more from John David. I think he's going to do some big things in the 2020's

Fatherhood is fantastic. Hart makes it. He's lovely and so funny as the grieving single dad.

Some awesome movies on this list. The Paper Tigers does look fun, and must watch Below Zero and Beckett soon!

The vault was a damn good movie.

Great list. Fantastic actually. Thank you for doing this. As always I give you my thumbs up.

The Dig was Good! Good actors and evidently a “Real” story being told. 😀👍. I’m gonna try Night in Paradise next.

I love your channel. I've watched a lot of your recommendations and I am never disappointed. Question, what are some of the best South Korean gangster movies in your opinion?

Your intros are always amazing..

I've several already. Becket is awesome!

really enjoyed blood red sky watched it with subs, and it wasn't distracting at all.

gunpowder milkshake was a VERY good looking film. I liked it a lot. good solid action flick, pretty under rated actresses (in my opinion) that did a great job with the roles they were given. worth a watch, even a second one.

The Vault is more realistic than Money heist the series. It's the real Bank of Spain building in Cibele Circle and the military headquarters, are truly across Alcalà street. It is true that if someone tries to break in the vault, Cibele fountain redirects it's water towards the vault. No idea about the pits, they look way too deep. It's also true that there's train and subway tracks passing aside both streets, Alcalà and Paseo del Prado and both lines have stations, one aside the bank and the other right next block across Cibele Circle.

Had to light up my phone and give this the thumbs up just for my octopus teacher.

Great video. I got some awesome recommendations from this one.

I noticed you didn't have "Wrath of Man" on the list. I thought it was a good movie full of action and a twist at the end. I'm definitely going to see "Beckett" Denzel Washington son is such an amazing actor. They interviewed him about his son and he said if you think he can act you should see my daughter....😁😁

DVD, had to pause the vid to check out Beckett, awesome.

I’ve actually seen all of theses picks, and I agree with your take on them.

I watched Beckett after watching this review. Good flick. Raw, gritty, and somewhat unpredictable.

Thanks so much for this. Netflix does a great job of hiding so much content by trying to push what they want you to watch, that I've only heard of a few of these movies. Looking forward to Beckett, Things Heard and Seen, Oxygen, Below Zero and Synchronic.

Watched Blood Red Sky and really enjoyed it. I love Vamp movies but this one was top notch. The dubbing was pretty good as well

Synchronic, Dig, Space Sweepers,Night in Paradise and Beckett are great flicks
