      Why can't these movies be separated into chapters, instead of just listing them in the top pinned comment? (So you could go directly to the movie you want to see)
      Why would anyone want to purposefully inconvenience their own audience??

    That was an excellent FLICK CONNECTION Darren. Agree with you on Below Zero, Beckett (I’m also a big fan of John David Washington) and Dragged Across Concrete. These are certainly outstanding films and highly recommended. I’ll be revisiting these and checking out your other recommendations. Many thanks for sharing with us 👍👍👍

    Unlike Darren, I liked Chronicles of Riddick (2004), its a favorite of mine. I don’t know what makes a bad triple A movie, I liked Jupiter Ascending (2015) and John Carter of Mars (2012) which feel just as epic 🤷‍♂️

    • @billfrantz1638
      @billfrantz1638 Год назад +3

      I remember being disappointed with Riddick (2013) as well, but I might give it another go. My No1 is still Night Watch (2004) and the sequel Day Watch (2006) 👍 big budget “Russian fairy tale with vampires” labeled as horror but it’s not.
