I don't remember much of it and it probably wasn't a great movie, but how can you pass up something called "John Dies At The End"?

Zangief from Street Fighter 2 where he’s not mischaracterized as a villain like he was in WRECK IT RALPH.

Dishonorable mentions (movies I haven't seen yet but would maybe make the list): MEGALOPOLIS, MADAME WEB, and JOKER: FOLIE A DEUX. #filmsky #movies 📽️🎬
