      Definitely, Maybe (2008)

      Universal

      Definitely, Maybe should be considered one of Ryan Reynolds’ most underrated films. While Reynolds’ trademark humor and wit shine through in this role, the rom-com also highlights his more compassionate and empathetic side. Currently going through a divorce, Manhattanite Will Hayes (Reynolds) is asked by his 10-year-old daughter, Maya (Abigail Breslin), about how he met her mother.

      Will transforms this narrative into a game by presenting three women from his past and altering their names for Maya to guess which one is her mother. This charming story allows Will to reflect on his life as he reminisces about the one that got away.

      If Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is to Batman Begins what Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is to The Dark Knight. It stands out not only as one of the most groundbreaking animated films, but Across the Spider-Verse will ultimately be linked with some of the finest sequels ever produced. In Brooklyn, Miles (Shameik Moore) finds it challenging to juggle his personal life with his responsibilities as Spider-Man.

      When he faces an overwhelming threat in the villain Spot (Jason Schwartzman), Miles and Gwen (Hailee Steinfeld) traverse the multiverse and encounter a whole community of Spider-People. However, Miles soon opposes their leader, Miguel (Oscar Isaac), who turns the other Spiders against him. With few allies at his side, Miles must trust his instincts and follow his heart to rescue the multiverse.

      King Kong (2005)

      Universal Pictures

      After his journey through Middle-earth in the iconic Lord of the Rings trilogy, Peter Jackson took on the most legendary gorilla in film history with King Kong. Serving as a remake of the 1933 classic, King Kong unfolds during the Great Depression, with director Carl Denham (Jack Black) setting out for Skull Island. Accompanying Carl are actress Ann Darrow (Naomi Watts), Jack Driscoll (Adrien Brody), and a small crew.

      Following an aggressive encounter with the indigenous people, the film crew recognizes that the true danger lies with Kong, a 25-foot ape and apex predator of the island. Kong abducts Ann, but she unexpectedly forms a deep connection with the creature while in captivity. The story culminates in a breathtaking battle in New York City, featuring visual effects that impress even two decades later.
