Aliens (1986)
10/10
"Game over, man! Game over!"

My favorite movie of all time. It's one of those rare movies that is completely perfect in almost every aspect you can think of. The setting, the characters, the dialogue, the visual design, the writing, the storytelling, the pacing, and the acting. Oh my gosh, this movie is really one of the greatest movies ever made. It might probably be the best sequel of all time. It perfectly follows the story without changing or ignoring the stuff that happened in the original movie. It also has nothing but practical effects and miniatures in the action sequences and sets that makes this blow most of the CGI-filled 'movies' out of the water. And guess what, it has a strong female lead character. But the reason why this works is because there was no woke identity politics or forced diversity to pander to the soy filled SJW leftists on social media and Twitter because this wasn't even a thing in 1986. What mattered was actual good storytelling and writing which is the reason why most movies suck. "We're on express elevator to hell, goin' down!" Keep on rockin' on, Aliens!
