Missions, Mayhem, and Movie-Star Sweat

85 films, ranked on my own star ratings by Arwin Edward Bagaslao. Updated 2026-05-13.

Paramount cinema in my head means movie stars running, missions going wrong, big studio confidence, and enough franchise energy to keep the lights hot. This ranking is for the Paramount-produced films I have watched, judged by momentum, cra

    An animated film with a strong western motif, elevated by Roger Deakins’ lighting, which makes it feel surprisingly cinematic.
