Your Last Great Popcorn Movie

Ok, so we're talking the movie that has you... leave-your-brain-at-the-door... but has a bit of oomph behind it... blockbuster material... and one that ever since has yet to be bettered since it was released...


Your Last Great Popcorn Movie...


For me...


I gotta go with Independence Day (1996).
Sure there's been a pile of Summer blockbusters, and a load of successful movies since... and there's the MCU to consider... but, ID4 is for me probably the last great smash 'em up brainless-with-a-brain popcorn flick.
Just seems since it was made, all the other Summer blockbusters and big movies have taken themselves way too seriously.


What's your input?

I may eat popcorn for different reasons than many, but my usual answer is Nightcrawler although there are others.

The last Mission Impossible.

The first answer I thought of was Fury Road, but I have trouble thinking of that as a "leave your brain at the door" kind of movie despite the outlandish nature of its world-building.

Not really my last one, but a favourite of mine :



White House Down

This.

Followed by Thor: Ragnarok.

There's always another one. I get high on buttered popcorn.

Ant-Man and the Wasp. It's fun and doesn't take itself too seriously.

Obviously.

Although, if you consider Black Dynamite a popcorn flick (which I really don't) then it'd be that.
