  2. Triple Frontier is so good, right? A hidden gem for the year. (maybe not so hidden since everyone has Netflix, but that site sucks at promoting its own content the day after release)

  3. Movie I Like Until People Talk About It with Importance

    This is a very good category.

  6. I liked the last Rambo movie. It wasn't a Rambo movie but more like a lost Taken sequel.

  7. Florence Pugh can do whatever she wants in my opinion.
