John Wick 2
This movie is basically part 5 and 6 of the first movie. On it's own, it doesn't have the same level of punch to the story or the pacing that was in the first movie.

John Wick
This movie set a tone for most action movies that no one realized needed a change. We have made fun of movies that never reload, but this movie made realistic gun fights something that people look forward to. The level of dedication that the cast put into is so high.

The Dark Knight
Heath Ledger. His performance alone made this movie Oscar worthy and I am pretty sure he did win an Oscar for this role. He is just outstanding and completely believable as an "Agent of Chaos." For some really in depth analysis about his actions in this movie, watch this video.

Batman Begins
This is a fantastic movie. Christian Bale really set up a world that people loved. His and Gary Oldman's dedication to characters really made this an enjoyable movie to watch acting wise. As it is Nolan, there is a lot of practical explosions and that makes this movie.
Movies
The Dark Knight Rises
This is another Christopher Nolan masterpiece and in my opinion better, the story is better than The Dark Knight. The hard exception to that hot take is Heath Ledger. He kills it, but we aren't talking about that in this movie.

The Dark Knight Series
Bruce Wayne's parents' deaths are the one of the most iconic fictional deaths of all time. With this series you get to experience the rise of Batman after this death as he navigates the workings of Gotham's police force in this gritty and dark series.

57 Seconds
What a garbage movie. This should have been a made for TV movie because there is nothing of true quality about it. For instance, you can hear them do a voice over. They obviously had to go back and AVR it because the volume on these lines is about 3 levels higher and a different quality microphone.
Movies
Outlaw King
This is an amazing movie with an accelerated telling of years of battle against the English for the freedom of Scotland. We all know Mel Gibson's famous telling of William Wallace in Braveheart because we have all at once used the "FREEEEEEDOOOM" gif when leaving for the weekend.
Movies
The Equalizer
If John Wick and The Accountant had a baby it would be Denzel in this movie. He has such experience that he knows how to kill everyone in the room with minimal effort, but he has gotten older so it takes him a bit more time.

Black Swan
I honestly think that for the time, 2010, this is a massive call out to the need for mental health reform. From a controlling Mother, OCD, perfectionism, and what appears to be what the non-physiologically-trained individual would call schizophrenia.

The Nun
As for the story, its simple. Nothing crazy, no hard twist or turns if you think about it or have watched the others in the movies in the series. It isn't really anything to write home about, but I do appreciate the inclusion of the Knights Templar.

Crimson Tide
First off, what a great cast. I mean it was 1995 and a lot of these people were either in their prime or just starting their careers and I don't remember it being talked about a lot. Some where not as strong as others, but when you are surrounded by heavy hitters, someone isn't going to shine.
