Scoob!
Scoob!'s animation is very well done with vibrant colors and sharp details. The soundtrack is also eclectic helping adult viewers take a stroll down memory lane.
Top Gun
Director Tony Scott brought some incredible shots to the film, mounting cameras everywhere on the fighter jets to achieve amazing footage while giving the audience the feeling they were flying right alongside Maverick.

Antonio Banderas was an excellent casting choice and his chemistry with co-star Zeta-Jones is palpable.

There are several reasons why The Mask of Zorro was so successful, beginning with the cast.
