      Weatherman. Nothing brings me more joy than Nic Cage acting his ass off and getting hit with milk shakes.

      Oh wow I never knew that Pirates and A Cure for Wellness were both directed by the same person! Thats a wild range! Anyway, I’ve only seen about half this list; but Pirates 1 wins for me easily.

    3. The choice is Pirates of the Cabibbean or *other*

      I did quite enjoy Lone Ranger (also Depp!) but it’s kinda funny how a newish director can immediately land such huge franchises (PotC) on the basis of unloved films and remakes.

      (Mexican is fine too. Didn’t set the world on fire though)

      I LOVE PotC though – the whole visual aesthetic is almost like a Guillermo del Toro – lots of cyan and gold

    4. I love *The Mexican*. It is so surprising and a real everything-burger.

      The 3-way swordfight in PotC 2 is probably the funniest and most fun action scene in any film, and it’s a masterclass of direction and editing.

      *Rango* is delightfully weird.

      So that’s my top 3.

      Mousehunt brings back the most nostalgia, remember seeing it on the big screen as a kid and loving it. Don’t know if it would hold up today as an adult though, I’d go the first Pirates

      Just putting it out there that no mouse in cinematic history has shit on the MouseHunt mouse. Stuart Little ain’t shit in comparison.

    7. The Pirates series and The Ring are some of my favourite films, so those, I guess.
