Also, not sure if it counts to pick movies based on true stories, because if it does, Schindler would probably take the crown easily.
My pick is definitely Sam from Lord of the Rings. Most people would jump straight to Frodo, but for me, Sam carried the whole story on his back more than once. His struggles, those speeches where he keeps Frodo's spirits up, just refusing to leave him behind... honestly, he's the reason all of Interstellar was saved. Sam is the ultimate hero. 👍
This list reminded me, but yeah, I'm totally with you on Sam being the man. He really did carry that heavy burden... even when Gollum was trying to screw him over, he didn't flinch. And I gotta say, Elijah Wood's acting as Frodo is insane. Seriously, can't believe he didn't even get an Oscar nod.
First off, this movie looks sick. The visuals, the sets, the costumes, the interiors, the VFX—it’s all this insane gothic-industrial vibe. Absolutely killer. 🙏
The villain is such a breath of fresh air too. Doesn't matter if it's day or night, there are zero rules, they just strike whenever and wherever. 🙏
The way they move and look? Hands down one of the most innovative and striking things I've seen lately. 🙏
This is exactly what Wan needs to shake up his career.
Oh yeah, the dagger... 🙏
4.0🙂1.0
Signature. The movie is LUUUD. I freaking love how Wan shoots stuff. All those camera rotations on every axis, the soundtrack is creepy as hell, nightmare fuel, just a straight-up brutal horror flick. 👍👍
1. I don't care how much haters trash it, this is hands down the best superhero flick yet. Man, during that one fight with Doom, I almost lost it. Total tear-jerker, but man, was it awesome. That soundtrack? Absolute legend status. 🙏
2. I'm obsessed with the first Resident Evil. That opening scene sticks in my head forever.
3. & 4. Honestly, the movies I've rewatched more than anything else are The Matrix and Independence Day. But if I had to pick, I'd take this scene over the first showdown against Agent Smith any day:
People are losing their minds over this movie. They're saying... it's basically what would happen if you took John Wick, ran him through a psychedelic funhouse, and then just dumped a bucket of glitter and f-bombs all over him.

Jared's never been that kind of actor, he wouldn't touch that stuff with a ten-foot pole. Just read that it was actually a huge struggle to even land him for this role. https://comicbook.com/marvel/2020/01...snipes-marvel/
This is gonna be exactly like Venom, and I am seriously hyped—it's gonna crush it. Besides, Jared's totally in his element when things get dark and creepy.

Why's he doing it? If you ask me, these doubles are everything the originals aren't. They're basically everything the real people wish they could be. It just comes down to whether they're actually brave enough to go out with "someone else" knowing deep down it isn't "the one." The therapist has a super clear job to help his patients, and he did it.
Honestly, just a solid, fun movie. The dynamic between Venom and Eddie gives me major Upgrade vibes, though I’d say they nailed the execution better in Upgrade. My only gripe? That post-credit teaser teasing Carnage didn't do anything for me. Why would I want to sit through two more "Venom" sequels when I just sat through this one?
Didn't think we'd actually see a sequel after that first movie was such a total disaster. Guess since Hasbro bought Saban, they'll finally have the cash to make the next one suck a little less.
