The tonal shift didn’t really work for me. I enjoyed it much more during the crime thriller lead in than the horror section. It wasn’t terrible, but it definitely lost steam for me towards the end.
I was loving this movie until I realized where it was headed. Nothing against the message of the movie, but I’m just tired of horror with a deeper meaning. I just want engaging horror for horrors sake. Rant aside, I thoroughly enjoyed watching the movie. I just wish there was a horror explanation for everything and not a metaphor for the real world.
Thank you for maintaining these Oscar lists. I use them for my Plex Meta Manager config. They're awesome! I just caught a mistake in this list for you to update.
You have this movie in the list: https://trakt.tv/movies/detained-2015
When I think you actually want this one: https://trakt.tv/movies/detainment-2018
Thanks!
I've seen a lot of cult docs, but I think the delusion on display in this one may top them all. I cannot wrap my head around what the hell went on here. lol
I had never heard of Ralph before watching this. I was pleasantly surprised. I loved the low energy delivery. Some very clever jokes. I'll be looking forward to seeing what he does in the future. Very funny!
It was refreshing to actually have a little bit of horror back in the show. Pretty cool episode.
What the hell is this weird Casa Amor format?
I’m not much of a superhero guy. I watched and liked The Boys and this seemed similar in tone so I decided to give it a shot. I was bored throughout the episode and had pretty much decided this show wasn’t for me… until the end. I think I’ll see where this goes now. Lol
Was that 100% animation? I legit couldn’t always tell if it was. There was a lot that seemed real. Fantastic episode. If that was fully animated, WOW!
The camera tech is very cool, but I find the episodes boring. Kind of surprising for such a short runtime on each episode. I watched the first two seasons, but I don’t think I will stick around for a third.
There isn't a lot of new information in this doc, but still worth the watch for the amazing footage. I am so jealous of those shark interactions. Absolutely breathtaking!
It was like an uplifting version of the Six Feet Under finale. More than I expected from this show. It was a perfect ending!
I couldn’t stop laughing at the results of the challenge and the twist thereafter. The producers are fools for that one. So funny!
One more for this year:

PS, it doesn't look like the two I suggested last year were added. Just saying. =)
Thanks again! Love this list!
Absolutely stunning! I appreciate that the BBC Earth folks do not stray away from showing the brutality of nature. They strike a good balance. Some of the shots in this episode were straight up breathtaking. I will continue to watch everything they make. Looking forward to watching the rest of the series.
I was feeling about to give up on season two. The stories weren’t terrible but they were mostly human. They’ve been primarily based on things that could happen. Not a ton of supernatural fun to be found. Then this episode popped up. So much fun! This is exactly what I was hoping for from Tales From The Crypt. Not too mention, it was hilarious. “I’m making an asshole casserole!”
Decent episode. I haven’t been loving season two thus far, but Patricia Arquette = :fire::star_struck:
I really don’t like how the US version ends episodes on these unnecessary cliffhangers. They literally promo’d the recoupling for this episode. To cut it off at the recoupling is bullshit. The UK version never does that. It’s one of the things that made me love the original. They did it once early on in the season as well, but this one felt so cheap. The announcer even commented on it. I hope they stop doing that. I won’t hold my breath though.
I'm not a big reality TV person, but I saw the first few episodes of season 1 and quickly binged the first three seasons within a couple weeks. I'm hooked! I don't know what it is about this show, but it got it hooks in me for sure. It's a lot of fun!
The production isn't great, but if this is a classic album for you, there is a lot in this doc that you will enjoy. There is some real fun insight into the making of some great songs. I immediately sought out and purchased the vinyl after watching. Took me right back to high school.
Here's a couple that I noticed weren't on the list:

Thanks again for the great work!
Love this list! Thanks for keeping it updated. I love hitting random on here and watching dumb holiday movies in December. Thanks again!
This is a good little Horror flick. There isn't anything too original, but it's executed well. It has a good tone, and even though the story is familiar, it brought me in and I genuinely wanted to know what happened next. All said, it was pretty easy to predict where things were going, nevertheless it was a fun watch.
I understand why this would have been appealing at the time of release. It's a bizarre and imaginative world filled with mystery, but this was impenetrable for me. It was very creative and many of the shows unanswered questions showed promise, but I don't think it did a good job on paying off on any of them. It's possible that I'm completely dense and missed much of what the show was trying to say, but the bigger issue here is that the show never convinced me to care. It setup a very interesting premise, and then kind of slogged through 17 episodes. To me it felt like a precursor to a show like "Lost", but it just never sank it hooks into me the way that show did. I appreciate what it was trying to do, but it was a joyless watch.
I went into this thinking "not another chess movie", but it won me over completely. I'm a bit bias, because I love films about Maori culture, but even excluding that, this film shouldn't be written off as just another underdog chess movie. It was the backdrop to this story of family and community. I loved it! Cliff Curtis was great and it was a pleasure seeing James Rolleston all grown up from his role in Boy. I really liked this movie!
The Incredibles 2 is due to be added here. Thanks!
I was really enjoying this movie, but that last scene was horrible! I was going to give this an 8, but the last 10 seconds of the movie dropped it a whole star for me.
I've gotta watch more movies with Chadwick Boseman. This movie was very good, but it was really him that drew me in.
This movie is obviously terrible, but it is so enjoyable that I have to rate it high.
Coco needs to be added here. Thank you for building this list!
