[sandstorm]

Shrek is love, Shrek is life!

Hahahhaa I love that meme!

I can’t embed because I am on my iPhone but there is a video of Shrek getting lit at the swap and that shit has me dying every time I watch 🤣

[jellyfishhh]

kinda surprised scorpio rising wasn't already on there!

Iron Man…

[sandstorm]

It started a bunch of bullshit for the biggest franchise in the world; I get it.

[colossusx]

it ushered in a franchise that's made 26 billion dollars...

but don't worry, the next mcu movie to make it in won't be for at least a decade (black panther probably)

When Harry Met Sally and The Little Mermaid should have been in years ago but at least they’re in now. Hairspray too.

i'm glad the loc is embracing more movies that are not necessarily great or tbh even good but that happen to enshrine important performances. cyrano is kind of a flop but it is ferrer's defining role so it's cool to see him symbolically immortalized that way.

really hoping ordinary people makes it in soon. that's my go-to glaring omission when criticizing each year's list lol
