1. 1
   Training Day (2001)

   ★★★★★

   What a day! I spent most of Training Day confused about what the hell was actually happening, which somehow made the experience even better because I felt exactly like…

2. 2
   Edge of Tomorrow (2014)

   ★★★★½
3. 3
   Ocean's Eleven (2001)

   ★★★★½
7. 7
   Ocean's Thirteen (2007)

   ★★★★½
8. 8
   Sully (2016)

   ★★★★½

   A delay is better than a disaster. I don’t think I’ve ever gotten emotional just by hearing the words “one hundred fifty-five.” It’s like a courtroom drama.

9. 9
   The Equalizer (2014)

   ★★★★½

   Sherlock’s brain, Batman’s moral code, John Wick’s brutality, and John McClane’s DIY skills walk into a hardware store.

10. 10
    Ready Player One (2018)

    ★★★★
11. 11
    American Sniper (2014)

    ★★★★

    Bradley’s eyes can really tell a thousand words.

    Ocean's Eight (2018)

15. 15
    King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (2017)

    ★★★★
16. 16
    Into the Storm (2014)

    Hot take: this is better than Twisters (2024).

17. 17

    Jupiter Ascending (2015)

    ★★½
33. 33
    Mystic River (2003)

    ★★½

    Maybe Sean Penn’s scariest role. Tim Robbins gave a great performance too.

34. 34
    The Magnificent Seven (2016)

    ★★½

    While watching this, it really reminds me a lot of Seven Samurai (1954).

35. 35
    Taking Lives (2004)

    ★★

    Feels like a David Fincher detective thriller trying to solve a murder mystery.
