The Fast and the Furious

I hadn't watched The Fast and the Furious in probably 10 years (at least), so it was not only super nostalgic but also just a really fun watch. I'd completely forgotten that Brian (Paul Walker) is an FBI agent, even though it's a key plot point throughout the entire franchise. I cackled over the fact that the entire reason Brian is undercover is to catch a gang of thieves — led by Vin Diesel's character, Dom — who are stealing Panasonic TVs with in-built VCR players. The movie was released in 2001, and with the combination of high-octane driving scenes, loads of large-scale destruction of Los Angeles streets, and bursts of humour throughout, I couldn't help but think that these were the original Marvel movies.
