1. 1
   Argo (2012)

   ★★★★½

   What pulls me in most is the concept itself.

2. 2
   Little Miss Sunshine (2006)
3. 3
   Saving Private Ryan (1998)

   ★★★★
4. 4
   Contagion (2011)

   ★★★★

   No need for spoiler warning here. This feels like 2020 done in 2011.

5. 5
   Godzilla (2014)

   ★★★½
6. 6
   Power Rangers (2017)

   ★★★½
7. 7
   The Phoenician Scheme (2025)

   ★★½

   I watched this mainly because of Benicio Del Toro, and right from the start, the film delivers with a strong score and immediate action.

8. 8
   Drive (2011)

   ★★

   I watched this after reading a trivia that this is the last film capturing the yellow LA streetlights before they were replaced by LED lights that emit white light.

9. 9
   The Sheep Detectives (2026)

   ★★

   Our memories that keep the ones we love alive.

10. 10
    Asteroid City (2023)

    ★½

    The visual style reminds me of the opening of Toy Story 3 mixed with those old Instagram filters that turn lips orange, layered with Wes Anderson’s pastel palette.

11. 11
    John Carter (2012)

    ★½
