Too bad that _Rogue One_ and _Bull Durham_ were eliminated. Both are good movies, IMHO. And _Braveheart_ is (or at least _was_) a guilty pleasure of mine, although it certainly hasn’t aged well. Historically inaccurate in the extreme\*, plus Mel Gibson is a complete nut job. \*Pretty much [as bad as this](https://pbfcomics.com/comics/now-showing/).
