The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It (2021)

Third time's not the charm in the mainline horror series (this is technically the 7th film of the franchise) centered around real life paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren. After a "routine" exorcism goes wrong, the demon unknowingly possesses another person, who then goes on to commit murder. The Warrens have to prove this was indeed genuine demonic possession in order to maintain their innocence and escape the death penalty. It's a bit of a new tack for the Conjuring series, but the result is more boring than scary.

THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING (extended edition) [2003]

Peter Jackson & co. deliver an emotionally powerful, visually breath-taking grand finale to The Lord Of The Rings film trilogy with The Return Of The King.
Clocking in at over 4 hours it feels like no time is put to waste with it's satisfying character moments, terrifying battle scenes and beautiful backdrops courtesy of New Zealand.  So much care and love was put into every single element of the film you know it's a film for the fans made by fans.  Many might complain about the overly long conclusion but I find it more than suiting to wrap up everything while never wanting to let the characters go.  This trilogy as a whole is a fine achievement in film-making that has already found it's place in cinema history and with good reason.
