Legitimately one of the best sequels ever made, building upon everything that made the original movie special, while adding its own signature flavor to the franchise. Prepare to feel an unexpected feel.

Iron Man 2 2010
This movie is actually pretty solid for a first hour, but after Tony Stark pees in his suit the movie enters a downward spiral that it never recovers from. Still, if this is the weakest MCU movie, we could be doing a lot worse.

The Grand Budapest Hotel 2014
An utter delight of a film that I continue to revisit on a regular basis. It might actually be Wes Anderson's best movie, which is saying quite a lot.

The Big Sick 2017
An exceptionally enjoyable rom-com with solid performances from everyone involved. You can tell this was a passion project for Kumail and his wife, it comes across so strongly in this funny, heartfelt film. Ray Romano's voice is like butter in any movie he's in so there's that too

The Hunchback of Notre Dame 1996
I can never make up my mind about this one. It's a gigantic tonal mess with awful slapstick and comic relief, but this one ultimately has some of the best dramatic moments and songs in the entire Disney pantheon. The stage adaptation is better but kudos to Disney for really giving it their all with this one and creating a cult classic that's starting to gain more recognition as time goes on

The Nightmare Before Christmas 1993
I'm not sure why they hired a different voice actor for Jack's speaking voice when he has like 5 spoken lines
Anyway yeah good movie, visually stunning if a bit slight on story. Songs are aight

A Quiet Place 2018
John Krasinski is clearly a very talented horror director, but unfortunately his deft touch is burdened with a really stupid script that puts its characters in unnecessary danger for the sake of getting more scares. Worth a watch, but I don't expect to check it out again.
