There are so many. But I have to say that Hereditary (2018) made certainly to my favorites list. One of the best movies I watched at 2018.

I've actually never seen the original Dragon Gate Inn. Steve and Natasha are probably my favorite duo in the MCU. A Black Widow movie has kind of been overtaken by events, and should've been made years ago, but I'll still be thrilled to see one. I'd also be happy to see another Capt. America movie, but I have a feeling that Endgame might render that impossible.

Tremors

brilliant classic, seems i never grow tired of that movie..
are the sequels still good?

 

[Kyriakos]

Tremors is the one with the subterenean killing machines?

No. I watched the fifth one this week. Just… no. It's better to just turn off the television set and stare at a wall than to watch the Tremors crap.

If you stare at that wall long enough, a tremor will come through it.

The second one is, I think it becomes a parody of itself after that though like Takhisis said.

Yup!

We had an earthquake aftershock back around the time Donald Trump announced his candidacy (or at least in the same year), then a real earthquake when he came for the G20 summit. But other than that, this is generally a quake-free zone.
