The movie should now start playing in a new tab of your browser or begin downloading to your device. This option has the minor disadvantage that English-language movies with optional subtitles in the movie player will not include these subs with this method.
The new system here has been designed keeping in mind even people with low internet speeds sub-8mbps. Even if you have a really bad connection, you should still be able to watch the movie without any issues if you:
Start the movie. Pause it. Wait for 30-45 seconds. Start playing again.
This 'Can't Watch' method really only works if it's your specific device/browser that's interfering with the player. There is no real advantage of speed here. Or if there is a temp network glitch or read lag from the server disk.
If you're still having problems, try using 'Incognito mode' in your browser. On iPhones, especially older ones, use Chrome instead of Safari. Might help.
IMPORTANT: Please make sure that the newly opened tab is not an ad popup asking you to download some software or whatever. Close any such popups and don't download any software - those are ads. Nothing is needed to be done by you other than to complete the security check which is often automated.

Plot – Spoilers:
Loosely based on the life of former skinhead Frank Meeink, American History X set in Venice Beach follows Derek and his younger brother Danny as they plunge into Neo-Nazism as a counter to the take-over of their town by other races.
Derek and Danny are smart kids at school but Derek loses his focus in literature after his firefighter dad is shot dead by black drug dealers while on duty. He becomes the protege of Cameron, an older white-supremacist, and creates an organized Neo-Nazi gang that intimidates gangs and people of other colour.
One night, a black gang attempts to break into Derek’s car and he shoots one of them before willfully splitting another’s head on the pavement. For this he gets 3 years jail-time and his time away sees younger brother Danny follow in his wake. Prison also doesn’t go according to Derek’s expectations and beliefs.
Edward Norton as always is fantastic while Edward Furlong reminds us why the Terminator kid was such a fine prospect.
I live in western Montana the Aryans literally live a hour away from me. Plus we got whites here who still use the 7777 law just justify their crimes. Now we got white liberals who are more dangerous than skinheads.
Hypocritical and non-sensical Hollywood propaganda film by a Haredi Jewish film maker who’s motto is “Life’s too short to be pissed off all the time” so let blacks and illegal immigrants kill your whole family and rob you blind and be happy about it (watch about 1:54:30). I’ve seen this before and I was surprised this time by how wooden the acting is. I believe that is because the actors knew that the story is pure propaganda and they had a hard time trying to make it make sense. There are many scenes where Derek (Ed Norton) makes perfect sense (14:15 after Derek’s father is killed by black criminals, 35:00 Derek’s speech, 41:00 The dinner table conversation) but he is made to look like he is crazy and violent. It is unlikely that Derek’s mother and sister Davina would become hard left wing liberals and jump to the defense of Rodney King after their husband/father was murdered by black criminals. Later on, Lamont, a black guy who is in prison for stealing a TV, somehow becomes the greatest voice of wisdom in the black-white racism debate. At 01:18:10 his “We gonna hate some niggers” jive is tone deaf to Derek’s father being murdered by blacks. Then Lamont starts sniffing men’s underwear worn by the prisoners. Derek says at one point he lost 3 years of his life because of Cameron. What? There were 3 black guys at your house in the middle of the night with gats and bad fucking… Read more »
Kike movie,made by kikes,for kikes
The scene where Derek gets arrested is probably still one of the most powerful acting scenes, not only from Edward Norton, but concerning cinematography as a whole. Always gives me goosebumps, the intense look in his stare as he’s brought to his knees. An important movie that many more folks that have come off the wrong path should watch and self-reflect upon – if only that could be a reality!
For this genre there’s not much competition. It’s shit like all the rest but this is probably my favorite shit of them all.
Proof that the old saying is very true, never bend over to pick up the soap. Just couldn’t resist saying it.
Such a good movie, like a lot of the greats on here it brings back nostalgia. Edward Furlong let himself go over the years though Jesus.
Amazing movie with an amazing development, good B&W altercations between the memories and the present. Not my favorite but one of the best related to nazism.
brilliant film and always worth revisiting
Arguably one of Ed Norton’s best roles. Beautiful B&W/color cinematography. Even if not entirely true (see below), still a compelling story, a social statement about unwarranted hatred and the violence it can lead to.
niggers gonna nig
If the movie is in anyway based on Meeink (who, by his own admission is jewish) it’s only insofar as both stories contain a number of implausibilities. He was a wigger before prison and his crimes were only ever against Whites. I don’t think he’s ever shaved his head. The biography about Meeink inaccurately titled ‘Autobiography of a Recovering Skinhead’ was written by Jody Roy and therefore, by definition, not an autobiography bears no resemblance to the movie. The movie is only good in comparison to others of its kind, most of which are even worse. Though, to be fair, none of them are likely much better or worse than one would expect a movie with no educational value about jews to be if it were made by Nazi skinheads. It’s not just the little things such as the front door opening outward like a barn door or why do they have so many bed sheets? Mountains of them! Every significant scene is predicated on an illogical premise. For example the ball game. First it’s basketball. But even if these Nazi skinheads were somehow, for some reason, basketball players (I’ve been a skin all my life and never seen it), in what universe do racialist skins and negroes engage in collective, casual recreation? Then because of the unlikely basketball victory, or perhaps the minor altercation during, the guy goes to his house to conspicuously break into his old truck, for what? On the other hand, in my experience those public… Read more »
that was fucking good
What the fuck… not even on effedupmovies do we get the execution scene. You’re really gonna make me torrent this movie? Ugh.
Damn i remember our religion teacher putting this in class
its a shame his brother gets killed at the end
Kiked movie
great movie
Great movie!!
Wow pretty good movie and the ending is worth the long story listening I thought it was funny to imagine when he is sharring his prison story for like a good 30 mins I Was watching thinking… “Jeez they must of been talking about this for days..” I really expected them to end the prison story and go back to the brothers but on a different time of day and place XD but it looks like they just sat in same spot no later or nothing XD If they were to ever allow gore movies to be shown in school I think this would be a really good movie for school kids to watch to show them how stupid gang fighting can get when politics get involved and ussually always does.
A decent movie. Gets a bit Driving Miss Daisy-esque at some moments and kinda paints skinheads as a whole in a bad light but overall one of the best representations of far right radicalization I’ve seen come out of Hollywood. Everyone should watch at least once yet this might be one of the few good movies I’d rather not see a second time 4.5/5
Lmao, this movie is so fucking bad. Nothing prepared me for the sheer stupidity of the basketball scene. That said: despite all its hand-wringing, this movie does way more work to make Nazis look cool and relatable and awesome than any living Nazi ever did. Nazis wish they could dunk but they can’t cuz they’re too boring to live. That’s why they’re dying out.
Love this movie so much! Hatred never wins.
film obviously touched a nerve – see comments above
Haven’t watched this movie in years, what a great come back
one of the best movies of all times for sure.
MR BRIMSTONE… I agree with you. I think the movie is BS and the characters almost one dimensional.
wow, what a fucked up ending
*Intellectual dishonesty was what I meant to say…lol
Most skillfullt crafted, superbly written and Oscar worthy acted WHITE GUILT PROPAGANDA FILM TO HAVE EVER BEEN BIRTHED FROM THE LOINS OF HOKEYWOOD’S CLICHÉ, ULTRA LEFT NARRATIVE! It’s sold most of it’s viewers so well on it’s distortions, half truths and outright intellectual honesty so well that if Goebbels were alive today, it would make his lying, propaganda spewing ass blush with envy! A gut wrenching movie if you appraise unbiased truth over narratives ppl allow themselves to be mired in. Just too damn good to hate and that is what makes it downright dangerous. Lastly, on a personal note, I have had the grave mispleasure of being locked up and it is true that boots and AB’s don’t like each other. If Frank Meeink was hurt by Ab assholes, I’m sorry. But none of those guys are any kind of a close not family anyway. Regular Woods like I was, Skins, and Abs generally tend to avoid one another anyway. A fact I hope that none of you who have never lost your freedom ever become intimately acquainted with!
Love this movie! Excellent!!!
