Furious 7

Famously, Furious 7 was in production when Walker tragically died in a car accident in 2013. I was nervous to watch this movie because I knew I'd be a mess at the end (and I definitely was), but there's no doubt that his exit from the franchise was handled with an incredible amount of respect and care. Firstly, I was relieved they didn't kill off his character, Brian, instead finishing his arc with the decision to stop being a criminal and spend time with his young family instead. The final scene, where Dom and Brian drive off in separate directions to Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth's "See You Again," is heartbreaking, but it also felt like the perfect send-off for a character (and actor) who was so obviously loved.

Aside from the ending that left me blubbering long after the credits finished rolling, the rest of the movie is just as batsh*t crazy as the others. In fact, probably more so. They fly cars backwards out of an aeroplane (I had to pause the movie to laugh), and there's an insane fight scene between The Rock and Jason Statham that is, frankly, far too much for me to handle. I loved it all.
