I disagree - it is about emotions.

There are plenty of other movies I’ve admired but in the end I remember something that affects my heart.

If I’m remembering right, the Warts fight song has a very strong “Mr. Mackey” vibe. 😄

I’m seriously going to find that and watch it again.

Oblivion (2013) is a 1980s science-fiction film made with 21st century VFX. Very underrated, and one of my faves.

Same...that and Edge of Tomorrow. Cruise is great in both.

"John Wayne’s The Searchers belongs in that list."

Oh, yeah! Especially that scene when John Wayne was talking with Harry Carey, Jr. John Wayne SHOULD have won 10 Oscars for that scene alone!
