If you mean since the first MI was released, have you not seen Collateral? Magnolia? American Made? Minority Report? Top Gun: Maverick? Even Vanilla Sky, as polarizing as it is, features some moments of inspiration from him.

The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie and The Bad Guys 2 are the only other ones I’ve seen that I’d recommend. I liked Dog Man fine, but I wouldn’t choose it as one of the nominees. I’ve heard good things about I Am Frankelda (Soy Frankelda).

Happy Birthday Brenda! 🎂🎈

That’s an extreme example, but it’s not generally good posting etiquette to crap on people liking a film on social media. You can write your own post saying you don’t like a film without having to bring somebody down.

Co-signed! A couple of years ago I posted about a rewatch I was going to do of Cats Don’t Dance (1997) on the bird app and how much I enjoyed the movie, and four or five right-wingers trolled the post and called me weird and creepy for liking an animated kids movie about animals.
