the courtroom monologues and Mastroianni's nevrotic last 20 minutes performance turned a strange movie into a brilliant character study

Days of Thunder 1990
one of the greatest dudes rock movies of all time. Most of you wouldn't get it. And I'm not talking about the women!
Tony Scott, Tom Cruise doing Tom Cruise shit, Hans Zimmer score, Robert Duvall being one of the greatest actors of all time in every scene, Nicole Kidman, cars, what else you need?

Point Break 2015
I remember watching this in the old days of channel surfing late at night (I'm not that old, we just didn't have netflix, hbo, apple and 100 different useless streaming services) and probably got right into one of the very cool action pieces, and of course I couldn't turn the tv off. I had no idea it was a remake and I only saw Kathryn Bigelow about a year ago.
I thought it was the coolest thing ever, so exciting.…Translated from by -
Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol 2011
pleasantly surprised by how good and engaging it is overall, pretty good looking too, because I only chose to rewatch this one specifically for the Burj Khalifa scene... nevertheless, how?
No amount of safety measures or hidden wires can explain this man swinging like Spider Man and falling into a window.
Whatever your stance on action movies and franchises might be, this stuff will never not be exciting.Translated from by -
The Apprentice 2024
the greatest character arc last year after Paul Atreides in Dune Part Two and one of the best in years.
I'm convinced the academy snubbed this movie and both Stan and Strong's terrific performances because we would have never heard the end of it from the Donald.

Return of the Jedi 1983
legendary double feature tonight.
picture this: it's 1977, you just saw A New Hope and a little man at the far end of the theater resembling Yoda tells you in 6 years you will be crying for the death of Darth Vader.

The Empire Strikes Back 1980
I probably wrote an essay for the damn Rise of Skywalker and all I feel is righteous to say about the best movie of the saga is: perfection.
YOU DON'T KNOW THE POWAH OF THE DARK SIDE!!!
Probably the greatest movie of all time. Imagine seeing this in theaters in 1980.
Imagine witnessing such an epic crowd pleaser that never settles for a single boring frame. An art film by nowadays standards.

Big Deal on Madonna Street 1958
you may not know this if you're not familiar with Italian cinema but this is pretty much director Mario Monicelli calling the Avengers to make one of the funniest movies of the '50s. Italians had it easy; call the greatest and most likable personalities with insane charisma and screen presence and make them say some funny lines, hangout out with them a little, make them broke and always hungry... there you go, here's your masterpiece.

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker 2019
ah, so this is the one where somehow Palpatine returns.
If outrage was supposed to fill my eyes and make them explode while watching this, I guess I'm just no Star Wars expert despite having seen all the movies.
I love movies too much to hate on something that kept me entertained for 2 and a half hours. But while we're at it; this entire trilogy suffers from a big problem that has nothing to do with pacing and everything…Translated from by -
Star Wars: The Last Jedi 2017
some really excruciatingly annoying jokes between decent dialogue exchanges made me wonder if all the big fans who wouldn't shut up about The Last Jedi weren't all 12 year olds, very early into the movie.
It's pretty good.
For a casual Star Wars fan, I couldn't imagine a better idea than just focusing on the Jedi plotline, the battles, and get rid of anything else that resembles a storyline you would maybe enjoy watching on a spin-off tv show; I'm…Translated from by -
Vanilla Sky 2001
yes, this is technically a remake of "Abre los ojos" but both the original writers and Cameron Crowe are frauds; they completely stole the plot from Daniel Quinn's novel "Dreamer"
but there's enough of their own to make it stand out and it's hard not to find relatable to some extent. I bet even Tom Cruise feels like his character every once in a while. At least he gets to have a good hair day.
Though that also adds up…Translated from by
