1. Top Gun: Maverick

Who could've ever expected a Top Gun sequel of all things to be a genuinely great movie and even a well-deserved Best Picture Oscar nominee?

Perhaps the single most improved sequel of all time, Maverick smokes the original with a well-written crowd-pleaser packed with thrilling, mostly practical action sequences, and one hell of a charming ensemble cast.

In an era where filmmakers struggle to convince studios to let them do anything the hard way, Maverick's commitment to set-pieces with a real-world basis - as beautifully directed by Joseph Kosinski - is absolutely astonishing.

That a Top Gun sequel could be so fun, deftly crafted, and even emotionally gratifying feels like nothing short of a miracle.
