Moviefan1988's Favorite Movies

Spider-Man: No Way Home is one of my favorite superhero movies. They did a fantastic job of bringing back Tobey Maguire's and Andrew Garfield's versions of Peter Parker/Spider-Man, as well as some of the best villains.

I also loved Dr. Strange so much in this movie that I had to rewatch the first Dr. Strange movie with Benedict Cumberbatch.

Did it make the original 100 favorite movies list? Yes

For a movie that's rated PG, it sure shows me that it can still be a good movie especially when it's an action and adventure film. Star Wars is great for its creativity and excitement, If I were to pick my favorite characters it would be Han Solo and Chewbacca.

it makes me wonder if Han Solo can actually tell what chewy even says. I wish Yoda was in this movie, he's my favorite also.

“The Force is strong with this one.” - Darth Vader played by James Earl Jones

My 2nd favorite from the purge series and as always I find it humorous to watch all these dumbasses that go out to purge thinking there unkillable and just get shot up with in seconds by some other people, it's like a bloody chain reaction.

Out of curiosity, is Universal your favorite distributor? Mine's usually switching between Warner and 20th.

In the year 2022 Paramount is releasing the best material.

This was a cute movie...LOVED Stanley Tucci and Patricia Clarkson as Olive's parents.

Liked this movie a lot...Foster and Whitaker were excellent.

I don't have really a favorite film distributor, it's just the films I decide that comes next on the list ends up being mostly from Universal.

One of the first movies that I have ever seen in theaters and it was a fun movie to watch, seeing Andy's toys come to life when no humans around and get the chills when birthdays and Christmases come because they do not want to be replaced or ignored for a new toy that Andy ends up getting.
