The Coen Brothers's 'Ballad of Buster Scruggs' was my fav Netflix offering last year. Loved it. It's got a short story thing going on like Stephen Kings 'Cats eye'. Black humour.. all that good stuff. Has a lot of heart and atmosphere which I find rare in new films
When I first saw Pan's Labyrinth, I HAD to have it on DVD. So much intricate depth of meaning in each chapter of the story, as well as it's artistic decisions on when, where and why the story took place.
Easy A is fantastic, Emma Stone is glorious in it *but* Stanley Tucci, playing Olives father never gets enough credit for his part, God damn, I almost wish he was my father. (good clip selection, the adoption joke is friggin spectacular 🤣)
That's a great video! More like these please! There are a few of the obvious ones, but I forgot or even didn't know about many of the movies here. Thanks!
*_Did I get that 'Pan's Labyrinth' was your best ever loved film ? I wasn't sure._* *_Loved your Mark Kermode take, it was fun. You're always uniquely outside the box ..._*
@@VoltairesGhost *_Ha ha ! Just teasing. You didn't make it obvious at all, Jacob. I haven't seen that movie, and I'm not sure that I want to be that_* *_scared right now ! Seriously, it looks really good and will be checking it out for sure. Thank you : ) ..._*
It's good to see you make a nice slice of life happy video every once in awhile, I don't agree with you on alot of things but I do enjoy your input and have watched all your videos in full take care.
I'd love to see you do more of those, while the whole world is on pause at least. Also you forgot (all on Netflix) : -Law abiding citizen -Good will hunting -The dark night -The matrix -Limitless -Red 2
Great video once again, good sir. Uncut Gems is an excellent film; break-neck pace, intelligent and pretty shocking with a great performances from all. Inside Man, The Big Short, Prisoners, Lady Bird, Birdman, Captain Fantastic, Roma, Lost in Translation, Ex Machina and You Were Never Really Here are other great films available (in the UK at least). Best series to watch is Better Call Saul. Oh, forgot to mention Snatch and Collateral
I admit I was a bit disappointed you didn’t include the line, “...you’re part eggplant” from the ‘True Romance’ (1993) clip. BTW-I too don’t give a f-k about George Lucas.
Great stuff, definitely got plenty to check out, also good things to rewatch. My suggestions, of which I'm also curious about your opinion: Not movies, but shows. Kingdom and Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance. Both are superb works, easy 9s or 10s from me
Brilliant collection of films VG.... my fallback movies are: The Grand Budapest Hotel, Blazing Saddles, The Unforgiven, To Kill a Mockingbird and of course, The Life of Brian.
Thank you so much for the tips! I know most of the films but, when presented by you, I really want to re-watch most of them. How could I forget Pan's labyrinth? I'm queuing this up for my own collection and I agree, it's a wonderful film!
I've watched Train to Busan 3 days ago with a friend. It was so much better than so many Holywood ecranizations with zombies. I'll keep close eye on your other suggestions for movies. Some of them I never heard before and they were mixed in with some that I absoluetly loved.
Good list! Seen most of the stuff already but Mother and Moon I will check out. Some foreign non english movies on there as well, unfortunately my netflix region is Japanese and I get no english subtitles. And my japanese is not on the level where I can relax and enjoy the movie while reading subtitles. So I miss out on a lot. Too poor to pay for both netflix AND a VPN as well! haha Good quarantine suggestions much appreciated! Cheers!
Star Wars makes me feel ashamed of claiming to be a sci-fi fan. The whole online shitstorm with the latest films destroying the franchise make me laugh. This franchise was never good in the first place.
@@Orclin Mr Plinket's review of the Phantom Menace says it all about Lucas. I really liked episodes 4 and 5, the 6th was good but already had the Ewoks, the prequels are mostly boring, the sequels are mostly an embarrassment, Rogue One is good, and the Christmas special is extremely painful. It's a shame because the mythology of SW is great. It could have been an epic series of great movies.
hmmm well I've never had strong opinions about Star Wars really. But I never really enjoyed it much, any iteration(though the newest ones of course are a train wreck). I love Sci-Fi, and could never figure out why I didn't like Star Wars like everyone else....Now the Star wars video games? Many of those have been excellent fun.
@@differentlyabledmuslimjewi4475 Yeah, not even the oldest movies are amazing. I really think the success of Star Wars comes from the mythology. What they have done with that world is a different story, especially since the prequels. I would like to throw Jar Jar Binks off a cliff.
A good list. Although unfortunately alot of these are no longer on Netflix. Really grates me that UK Netflix never retains good movies for long. They have the license for a few months tops, then the movie goes.
Good call on Blue Velvet! I watched it the other night and it was amazing. I'd also recommend The 12th Man and The Siege of Jadotville for films, and Norsemen for a comedic series if you like Monty Python!
As an American, I can't apologize enough for Cage's Wicker Man. Can't apologize for remakes of [REC], Martyrs, Insomnia, the Vanishing.... the list is endless. It always shocks me how US remakes always change the main thing that made the original stand out in the first place.
A youtuber by the moniker 'Just a sleuth' reckons she's solved the zodiac killers cyphers, and I can't lie it seems like she really has solved them and uncovered his identity.

You started with one of the greatest movies of all time and ended with one of the biggest mindfucks of all time. This is truly a list for movie lovers, by a movie lover, and while about ten of these aren't on my American Netflix, I either have (some the extended cuts of) most of them or have other means of watching them (Hulu, hopefully since many of these involve 20th Century Fox and thus might have found a home there), and I'll be giving pretty much every movie I haven't seen on this list a watch. Plus it's been too long since I watched all three LOTR movies and I put in big shouty caps in my notepad list of these "THE ENTIRE LORD OF THE RINGS TRILOGY. FULL STOP. NO EXCUSES." Thanks for the reminder.
1:25 "I fart in your general direction" "Your mother was a hamster and your father smells like elderberries" "Stupid iiiiinglish kniGGet" Oh yea, I got it... I got them all.
I remember seeing Pan's Labyrinth in the theater when it first came out. My girlfriend at the time dragged me to see it totally blind and I loved that fucking film. I don't think I moved an inch or said a word the entire time.
Several of these looked interesting enough to watch. Unfortunately, they weren't on Netflix. I honestly don't know how they manage to prune away all the good content so accurately - but they do and they do so fast. If you catch something that looks worth watching on Netflix, watch it there and then because it probably won't still be there tomorrow.

'Leon', known as 'The Professional' in the US of A and 'Léon' in France, is great, especially if you get the Director's Cut, which reinstates a few scenes that the studio executives thought unsuitable. First film Natalie Portman ever did, when she was still a child, over her parents' objections, as they thought the subject unsuitable at her age. Best film Luc Besson (director), Jean Reno (Leon) Natalie Portman (Mathilda) or Gary Oldman (Beethoven policeman villain) will ever do. Jean Reno played the same professional hit man character in the same director Luc Besson's previous French film 'Nikita', which is also good but a bit strange, and in French, which in the English-speaking World entitles you to think yourself superior and sophisticated for having watched it. Luc Besson has been called the most American-like of French film directors. Amazing how knowledgeable DVD Special Features can make me sound.
For a second I thought you were the cheapest drunk. I mean, drunk on cordial?! Thanks for the recommendations. I'll hunt them up as I don't want to pay Netflix a cent. Oh, and sod the person who just wanted the list.

@@VoltairesGhost Id like to say I wouldn't... But I'd probably be lying 🤣🤣🤣

@@VoltairesGhost I always thought The Devil's Backbone is as good as Pan's Labyrinth. Del Toro has to go back making good films again.
I have the wooden box set of "The Wicker Man". It's been a favorite of my own movie collection for the last 40 years.

Me: I'm gonna read The Scarlet Letter.
Some well loved friends to visit again along with a few lovely new ideas, excellent list!

-Law abiding citizen
-Good will hunting
-The dark night

Law abiding citizen is a masterpiece
Damn good reviews...thanks!
Great taste! I haven't seen 4 of what you mentioned, but several others are some of my favorite movies overall.
I appreciate this! I will definitely watch some of them
This is awesome, I felt as though I had watched every movie every made in the past month but there are a few here that I had missed.
Thank you for this. An eclectic and interesting list
Cloud atlas & the fountain . Both awesome movies that need a little thought.
I've seen The Fountain and really liked it. Rachael Weisz can do no wrong.
Mad respect sir, your recommended movies are pretty much right in line with mine. That means you must have pretty good taste ;)
Glad to see The Raid on here; both of them are fantastic films. I was lucky enough to see the first one in cinema, such an adrenaline ride.

If you want to get serious, please watch Contagion 2011. Makes a movie experience truly come to life.
I didn't think I had seen true romance but I do recall seeing that scene in full. Unless I've lost my mind and another movie had a similar scene.
Thanks so much VG! I never know what to watch on Netflix...
You're welcome. Hope you find something you like amongst that lot.
Loved The Raid. Subtitles not needed; there's very little talking in between the ass-kicking.
Just been watching the Korean zombie show "kingdom" and loving it. Will definitely check out train to Busan
1st up holy grail, starting off strong
Just watched "Pan's Labyrinth" again per your recommendation. It really is an excellent film.
Dallas buyers club is another good one on Netflix
Best musical, 'Blues Brothers', Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi...It has a cast of musicians and singers doing their own great hits.
