    @marcd1981 Месяц назад

    Hey Darren, thank you for another list of things to watch on Tubi. I just started looking through Tubi this week, and there are definitely movies / shows worth watching. Something I heard you say didn't sound right, though, and that was when you went from Housebound from New Zealand, to Four Lions, which you said was "also from the UK". But New Zealand has not been part of the UK for quite a few years.

    @wzywg Месяц назад

    Awesome list, downloading half of these. I just watched The Way of the Gun after many years. A low audience rating, but still worthy. That and Animal Kingdom, Riders of Justice and Equilibrium (some silliness, but still), great sleeper hits. And if you like Starred Up, which is my favourite movie ever, you might want to check out A Prayer Before Dawn, based on a true story. The book is a also a good read.

    @psykotedy4590 7 месяцев назад

    Looks like I need to check out Tubi. I haven't crawled through your entire history of videos, but I'm a little surprised I haven't heard you mention the movie Shot Caller; it's a bit of a slow burn, but the end hits like a truck, imo. Thank you for all of the recommendations!!!

  • @endorphinzz
    @endorphinzz 7 месяцев назад +1

    Shattered Glass is phenomenal. These Final Hours was really good, too (I would have put Shattered Glass above it, though).

  • @tusharsuvro8317
    @tusharsuvro8317 5 месяцев назад +1

    The Best Offer is the most rewarding slow-burn movie I have ever watched. Period. If you want to enjoy it to the fullest, do not read any storyline, do not watch a trailer, start watching.

  • @mgiebus1869

    @artvandelay1967 7 месяцев назад

    ive only seen 2 of these films- Starred Up and Four Lions- both outstanding- Four Lions is one of the best comedies of the last 20 years imho. Tubi has some fantastic classic movies on it, sadly in Canada it is missing many of these.

    I love dystopian / end of the world movies. So I will have to check out "The Final Hours." I recently watched "The Rover" based off your recommendation, and it was one of the best movies of this genre I ever saw. Never would've heard of it without your channel. Keep up the great work!

  • @alanwatts5445
    @alanwatts5445 7 месяцев назад +1

    About "Four Lions". In Vaudeville, the straight man always gets top billing. Because without someone serious to play against, the funny guys just aren't as funny. Another example: "Muppet Christmas Carol", Michael Caine is great.

  • @owencozine827
    @owencozine827 7 месяцев назад +1

  • @boratlion8613
    @boratlion8613 3 месяца назад +2

    If you like prison movies, watch this French one called “ Un Prophet”. An Arab French kid gets dealt a rotten hand from the moment he entered prison and just evolves from there… you will love it.

      What a fantastic movie, I remember as a little boy when The Troubles in that era happened, and being so confused and just couldn't understand why the Irish and the British would want to fight each other, and I remember Bobby Sands, I was about 15 when he was in the news.
      Now I'm 59 and have read and watched a lot about The Troubles over the years, and I still don't understand why the Irish and the British would want to kill each other, like that whole thing with The Miami Show Bamd, thing's are way out of control and has gone light years beyond making any sense of why someone would want to blow up a bunch of musicians who don't have anything to do with any of it.
      I'm just glad it's at least stopped, if everyone can manage to make it through an entire generation without killing each other then hopefully it'll all be over.
      I just know the whole thing always made me feel sad, even when I was a little boy.

    I always thought Shattered Glass was a really great movie. It is one of the main reasons I've always defended Hayden, and am absolutely convinced that he could have easily brought more to the role of Anakin if he'd been given better writing. Considering what he had to work with, I think he did more than we could have asked of about anyone.

    I hope to put something on your radar from 2008. Only OG Netflixers would know. Probably their first original. Felon.
    Val Kilmer, Stephen Dorff. If you've seen it, I think it deserves a list spot somewhere. If not... please give it a go. I hope I'm not the only person in your comments that has seen this movie.
