10. ‘Sleepy Hollow’ (1999)

7. ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ (2022)

As a huge movie fan, I was so excited for ‘Top Gun: Maverick’! It’s directed by Joseph Kosinski and brings Tom Cruise back as a pilot, but this time he’s training a new group of young aviators for a seriously dangerous mission. What really blew me away was how they filmed everything – tons of incredible shots *inside* the cockpits and these unbelievably coordinated flight scenes. It first showed at CinemaCon, then had a big release in theaters, and it really paid off – it even got nominated for a bunch of Academy Awards and won for Best Sound! The movie also stars Miles Teller, Jennifer Connelly, and it was amazing to see Val Kilmer back on screen.

The movie ‘Men in Black,’ directed by Barry Sonnenfeld, stars Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones as secret agents who monitor alien activity on Earth.
