8. Spirit Untamed

Death On The Nile
Universal

A reboot/sequel to the 2002 gem Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron, Spirit Untamed came and went without so much as a whimper last year, scarcely advertised despite its all-star cast and kid-friendly action.

Produced with a budget of $30 million and starring Isabella Merced, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Julianne Moore, it's baffling that Spirit failed commercially, and even though it's not nearly as good as its predecessor, its inoffensive fun should've at least scored it some love from younger audiences.

Alas, it wasn't meant to be. Underperforming both with audiences and critics before being unceremoniously dumped on Apple TV and Amazon Prime, Spirit Untamed left not a mark on the public consciousness, and despite not being a year old already seems to have slipped from memory.

I get to write about what I love, so that's pretty cool. Every great film should seem new every time you see it. Be excellent to each other.
