 The Top 15 Movies That I Have Seen Recently Hey what's up guys it's Josh here today I want to do kind of like an interesting little list it's going to be the top 15 movies that I have seen recently that I enjoyed I've pretty much been on a movie watching spree since 2019 a lot of people will say when I talk about movies they'll be like oh I don't have time or movies are boring I kind of see both sides in that I've seen so many bad movies 9 out of 10 movies that I watch I wouldn't want to own or I don't want to see again. The top 15 movies that I've watched recently that I had not seen before that I do think are ownable and I do think more than 15 are ownable maybe 25 to 30 of the movies that I've seen the honorable mentions the gentleman from 2019 really enjoyed its tenets that new movie probably one of my favorite Christopher Nolan movies for me personally I'm not really a Christopher Nolan fan but I really liked tenets searching searching is a great mystery movie fantastic John Wick chapter 2 I like all the John Wicks I had seen John Wick the first one ended up watching the second and third one really did like John Wick to go ship go ships kind of like throw away mid 2000s horror movie with one of the guys from Dexter but I actually really really liked go ship mainly for the setting a lot of people wouldn't like it but I just did the Truman show at Jim Carrey this movie was really really nice really well done I had heard about it for so long and it actually was definitely worth watching and probably worth owning just for how unique it was cliffhanger with Sylvester Stallone I was watching mission impossible movies and I was told my friend about it describing how mission impossible is and he's like oh it sounds like a cliffhanger type movie I had never seen cliffhangers we recommended to me and I actually went on a Stallone watching spree after I came across cliffhanger because I really really did enjoy it those are my honorable mentions now let's jump into the top 15 like I said all these movies I think are worth owning so it's very hard to list them number 15 I'm gonna have to go aliens I'd always heard about alien I'd always heard about aliens I know a lot of people probably have heard about these movies to death but it was just one of those movies to where I heard about them for so long I would kind of forget that I hadn't seen them I would know about the whole alien coming out of the stomach scene I've heard about that so I didn't really know how much that tied into the movies I decided to watch alien and aliens and I really really did enjoy both these movies no aliens is kind of hated for taking a different approach than alien but if you look at the later installments of aliens alien number one and two are by far the best really enjoyed them I've seen so many space movies these alien movies have a very specific feel to them it's hard to describe it really feels like a weekend at the movies and I don't get that feeling very much with space movies because I've seen quite a bit there's like this whole government overreach kind of plot the government's always trying to like save the alien and do some backdoor thing and doesn't really care about the passengers survive just as long as they get the alien sample and for some reason I felt that really refreshing it's just something that I would think would happen in real life I really liked alien really like aliens definitely worth the good watch number 15 number 14 is the curve aka dead man's curve now I really got into the screen movies you're about to see that later on on my list but I got into the screen movies and I watched almost every 90s movie that was related to scream after this when I found a list on IMDB one of the top five out of like a hundred movies that were similar to scream was the curve ended up renting it and I was pretty much blown away by it this movie is extremely twisty and I think some people would even argue that some of the twists might not even make sense because it twists unbelievably and really if you're not into the twists if the twists don't hit right with you you're probably gonna hate this movie but if you're somebody like me I would just watch this movie looking for simple 90s movie with just a little bit of a scream like twist the first 30 minutes feel like the ending of a weird movie you're like okay this feels like it should be the end and this is like a weird ending but okay then the next 30 minutes are the hardest to watch in the whole movie if somebody looks like he's getting framed somebody's kind of playing dumb it's just 30 minutes of cringiness right and then there's a betrayal you have about a third of the movie left when this betrayal happens and I actually felt kind of disgusted that I was on board with these characters and that I was on board so much that this betrayal actually made me kind of feel disgusted but then after that it just twists and twists and twists it was the movie that I rewatched the ending the most I must have rewatched the ending to this movie I mean 20 or 30 times it just has like a 10 or 15 minute montage of one twist kind of leading into another twist so I wouldn't expect the world with this movie but if the twist hits for you it's gonna hit really really good number 13 is the loved ones now this is a movie that it's kind of hard for me to recommend because I did have a lot of flaws with it but this is a movie that really stuck with me the loved ones it really shows you kind of like a different style of torture or a different way to be miserable on earth that you never really thought about it's completely brutal and the few negatives that I have about this movie is there was a good amount of wasted time in my opinion there's kind of like a whole subplot between a guy and a girl that just doesn't really I mean it kind of hits but then it doesn't and then there's conveniences while the guy is kind of captive to where they string things along and they redo scenes and some stuff could be cut out the finale I like the way the finale ended but the movie really just pushed you through so much stuff I would have liked the finale to be a little bit more grand and a little bit more dramatic because the whole movie was dramatic but this movie is just dark it is really intense and it does have a lot of scenes to where you're gonna feel like man this is a little bit of waste of time or oh you're really just gonna do this thing to like string it on a little bit more I get you with that but it was so brutal and it was a movie that I was left thinking about for so long after and when people talk to me about brutal movies one of the first ones that comes to mind is the loved ones number 12 is Annabelle creation now Annabelle creation is pretty much what Annabelle should have been Annabelle comes out of the conjuring universe the conjuring is one of my favorite movies or favorite horror movies of all time I just absolutely love it I watched the first Annabelle really did not enjoy it when they came out with two more Annabelle's I was like I'm totally not gonna see it because I didn't like the first one go to see the second one and it's by far the best Annabelle experience that I've had I've watched one two and three number two is by far the best I just remember the suspense in this movie the way they use Annabelle way better than any other time any other movie if you're a fan of the conjuring I recommend watching this one and if you don't like watching this Annabelle you won't like any of the other ones but I really did enjoy Annabelle creation number 12 number 11 it's so weird to be talking about this movie but die hard so die hard is a movie that I have heard of my whole life you know it's almost like leap the weapon it's one of these older movies you know Bruce Willis whatever I actually watched die hard with a vengeance I really really really like die hard with a vengeance so that kind of gave me a little bit of hope for the original die hard but as soon as I watched it I see exactly where they're coming from it's just a really really good movie it hits on all aspects it's kind of got like a fun vibe in between even between like the guy in the limo listening to music just the whole vibe of it it just clicks it's just a really not easy to watch movie really enjoyable really good action really enjoyed die hard hard for me to pick a fire like dagger with a vengeance or die hard number one but really was impressed with this one number 11 number 10 is the grudge the ring and the grudge were talked about for so long growing up I mean so many people have probably seen it and so you know whatever but I actually saw the ring like five six years ago and so I thought the ring was okay it was watchable I told this story in another video I don't know if you have seen it but I knew one girl growing up who was just terrified of the ring girl and I knew one girl growing up who is just terrified of the grudge girl so I was like it's kind of funny that the movie would be so effective so I actually watched the grudge actually watched the grudge twice and the second time around there was a little bit of iffy CGI the CGI is not perfect but it's also not bad this movie is just fantastic I really like the eerie feel it's kind of told out of order and it's it's cohesive but there's all these stories that kind of makes sense when they want to hammer down the scares the scares come out I just really really enjoyed this movie I also enjoyed the Japanese setting I know that that's in a lot of other movies too but for a horror movie it was just so so refreshing and from the beginning to the end of this movie almost everything they did perfect I probably wouldn't add anything besides that CGI I absolutely love this one funny that I watched the grudge two right after and the grudge two in my opinion was hokey and pokey and fake so really really enjoyed the first grudge the only problem you might have is with the CGI but if you have not seen it highly recommend it number nine is Euro trip now Euro trip is a movie to where a lot of people when I was growing up had seen this movie they tell me you know talk about it like it was the best movie ever and things like that things that movie that you got to see I just remember the covers of these movies and it kind of looked like an animal house like an American pie style movie but Euro trip to me is just so good it's so special it's so unique to me I almost find it similar to like Harold and Kumar to where bad things happen to him along the way but overall it's a really really good journey and I really really like road trip movies for some reason when when movies do road trips good I absolutely loved it and that's exactly what this is if I had seen this movie when I was younger this would probably be one of those movies that I would have really good memories of and just always want to watch always want to put on because it's just hits on all cylinders it's absolutely hilarious and the way the whole story ends and and the way everybody's characters kind of evolve to the end absolutely love this movie number eight is the ref now there's a movie reviewer that I like to watch his name is Cody leech I feel like I relate so much to him but it's funny because so many the movies that he likes I'm just not really a fan of I kind of have my own opinion but I love listening to him talk I love listening to his points I'm surprised that we don't agree as much but he recommended me the ref and or he then made him recommend me he recommended everybody the ref the ref is actually a really really enjoyable movie that's about Dennis Leary and he's like a robber he's a criminal and his buddies are criminals wife and the husband are just going at it the whole movie but the way that this movie wraps up the feeling that it has everything in the end kind of has a nice easy feel everything kind of works out to a certain extent it's just a really easy to watch really nice movie and it's funny because seeing Dennis Leary in this movie I knew so many kids growing up who would act like Dennis Leary does in this movie it's hard for me to describe that style but it's an older style and probably my favorite Dennis Leary movie just a really easy to watch really enjoyable movie can't say enough good things about it the ref number eight number seven is primal fear now this is again an older movie I'm pretty sure a lot of people have heard about it or they've watched it but the main reason that I like this movie is because I was a huge fan of Fight Club most want to do a Fight Club review at some point on this channel Fight Club kind of has a had a pivotal experience on me and for some reason like if you like Fight Club if you've enjoyed Fight Club and you have not seen Primal Fear definitely check it out because Primal Fear takes so many things that are so close to Fight Club but does them in a different way and if you had seen Primal Fear before you saw Fight Club it might take a little bit of the wind out of your sails because there is just enough similarities there to where it's like wow this is like totally up the alley of Fight Club but changing just enough about it to where it's a hundred percent not either there's the main woman in here kind of says a lot of feminist quotes which is kind of like the opposite of Fight Club if you like Fight Club and you have not seen Primal Fear go watch that right now I'm telling you number six upgrade now this movie is just a really solid across-the-board movie it's newer it's a little bit different it's kind of outside the box this is just a movie that seems like the budget wasn't very high but they absolutely maximize every piece of the puzzle in this movie it slowly kind of wraps up into one final finale I really like this story from the beginnings and I probably wouldn't change anything about this story it's just well-written it feels complete it feels like a big epic thing once it's done the scenes with the AI taken over it's just great I just really really like this movie and find it to be really really well done using a lot of like practical style effects in all the right ways if you like R rated action definitely check out upgrade really enjoyed that one number five so cliche to say this but infinity war when movies are too popular it's almost like I need to watch them after they become not popular so when Avengers was coming out Avengers Endgame I hadn't watched any of them I had watched the original Avengers when it first came out had not watched anything else talked to one of my buddies and he really liked Thor so I decided to watch all the Thor movies then after I watched all the Thor movies I was like okay let's watch all the Avengers and see which Avengers is the best now infinity war just absolutely blew me away I don't only think there's almost any movie that comes close to how epic it is the only negative thing about it is the ending which I guess gets rectified in endgame but the whole pacing of this movie is just absolutely fantastic I actually really like when Marvel does a lot of the space kind of stuff versus being grounded at Earth and this movie is taken almost entirely in space if you like Thor this is pretty much the most epic Thor you're gonna get it starts off with Loki getting killed right away and then Thor has to basically go craft this super weapon that's stronger than any other weapon that he's had before where Thanos just was this movie is just fantastic it's like the most epic superhero movie that I've ever seen by far really really enjoyed it and it would be perfect in my opinion if the ending was good if the ending was wrapped up the same way but if you look at infinity war and you look at endgame it's almost like infinity war was supposed to be the end and somebody hired people to make endgame ten years later with some random story that's what it feels like to me infinity war was just absolutely epic for like top tier chaos action infinity war 100% and then also the stones those infinity stones perfect blend of power when they describe each one Thanos has three it's just a I love the balance of power in this movie probably my favorite superhero movie I just wish it had a better ending number four is eyes wide shut now to be honest I actually had seen a decent amount of Tom Cruise movies growing up I never really felt like I was the Tom Cruise fan if you had asked me I would feel like I didn't watch any of his movies but then when I would slowly look back I'm like okay I did see that one I did see that I did see him in Tropic Thunder yada yada yada so my parents were into certain kind of movie stars but they just were not into Tom Cruise ever for one second so to me it was kind of like my own adventure discovering Tom Cruise when I rewatched the Mission Impossible movies I just really really really enjoyed those movies and I really like his style he's an actor that I will just watch just because he's in it now for me personally I know he's off doing his own stuff but I actually really do like Tom Cruise movies but Eyes Wide Shut is just such an epic movie it's probably one of three movies that I've seen in my life to where it's almost kind of like this you're not really watching for what's happening you're just watching for like the ambiance you know the other movies that I feel like that are The Godfather and Chinatown to where it's this long movie and it's telling a story but it's just almost about these big set pieces and just this feeling that you're there it's hard to describe but Eyes Wide Shut has so many big things going for it there's never been a movie like Eyes Wide Shut the whole party scene is just crazy off the wall so unique out there never been done before but on top of that this is when Tom Cruise was in his golden years like I think I would say the 90s was kind of like his golden years this is right before he went to Scientology and he was married to Nicole Kidman which he is married to in the movie and right after this I'm pretty sure he breaks up with Nicole Kidman in real life and then goes to Scientology which a lot of people I'm not getting into that whole thing but a lot of people really credit that Scientology for being the weird part of him and the the bizarre part of them that people just can't really get over this was like right before then on top of that I think they took like three years to shoot this I think like Tom Cruise got ulcers in his stomach because the director wanted him and Nicole Kidman to really feel like there was maybe some infidelity just to spice up the roles and to make things just more crazy this movie just has everything going for it at once I would say most people wouldn't like it but for the true movie connoisseur there's almost nothing like this and you definitely should watch it at least once it's crazy number four eyes wide shut number three and again it's hard for me to even list these but number three is the thing a super old movie I think from 1980 or 1981 whenever I'd heard about this movie I don't know what it is like the thing it just seems very nobody really talks about it nobody's like talked about the thing like freddy or jayson it's like what is it you know kind of a thing I don't even remember why I even watched it but it was actually made by the guy who shot the original halloween by a good director one year afterwards the thing is just so so good it's almost similar to alien but in my opinion I like this one a little bit better it's grounded it's on like a snowy base it's got a very simple to understand story but it's also different this shape-shifting kind of alien to where it's like you don't really know if anybody's been killed by the alien then and they shape-shifted you know whatever so it's kind of like this movie that builds the right way you understand the plot but it's also very different you haven't seen anything like it and how old it is it really just does not even feel aged at all it's these guys who are on like an arctic base so nobody's really wearing any clothes from the time even when kurt russell puts on some sunglasses I'm like those sunglasses like I see somebody wearing today this movie really just does not age and it's an absolute classic that shows so easy to enjoy and I absolutely love it number two I'm gonna have to go with scream now I'm kind of gonna go with scream scream one and two when I first discovered scream absolutely fell in love with it and I think I chain watched all three movies these movies are absolutely fantastic I don't know what it was about these movies that made me think that they were corny for some reason thought that they were a joke the whole time like there was nothing even really serious about them scream one and scream two are absolutely fantastic I'm a sucker for a really good mystery in a movie and each time scream is just a fantastic mystery it's really hard to create a good mystery because you kind of have to reveal the character at some point but then also kind of bury them enough to where you don't really know who the killer is and don't really know the mystery I feel like scream one and scream two are just so so so good so fantastic even scream two has a way of stepping everything up but still having it feel in line these movies are fantastic if you enjoy a good murder mystery and you have never checked these out especially if you're around in the 90s check these movies out I would say 100% they're a closest to mystery I would say versus anything else and people talk about the jokes like the kids joking too much and then making it not seem realistic maybe movies after this movie have changed but this just feels like normal dialogue that just seems like kind of like kids joking the way kids would normally joke I don't really find it to be like overly funny or anything like that really enjoyed scream one and two so good I went on a movie watching spree of every single movie that was even similar to scream right after I had seen him because I loved him that much number two scream it's hard for me to put like top five or top 10 in its order but number one I'll just have to go with doctor sleep it's a newer movie I really really enjoyed it it wasn't really too big of a fan of the shining you don't really need to have seen the shining too much to understand this there is a little bit of stuff that kind of plays in I feel like I had seen the extended cut of this I'm not too sure but really long movie it does take a while to get going if you're expecting something to pop off right away it does take a while but once it starts to build and you kind of see these balances of power the movie is fantastic three really strong powerful characters that have all this kind of like telepathy and all these powers and things like that and it's just a very very good mix of realistic power struggle there was not a point in this movie where anything felt convenient for the plot everything just made sense everything was a very understandable clear-cut vision of power but anyways guys really just enjoy doctor sleep and after reading all these off it's hard for me to put that number one because I liked all the movies on this list but I'll have to go with number one is doctor sleep what's the best movie that you've seen recently again these movies aren't my favorite movies of all time these are just movies that I had not seen before 2019 and after I started watching movies I really really like these and I would own these I kind of want to do other lists like my top tens of my favorite movies of all time or my top 10 for like certain years things like that if I was going to recommend you guys my favorite movies ever I would recommend some of these on this
