After a disaster, a pleasure theme park re-opens with a new population of robots.
Although this one has held up well, it does show its age. It’s still spectacularly well-made, and especially well-written.

The past returns to haunt a retired crime boss.
Quite watchable. I think it’s trivially surpassed by a lot of movies, but this has a reasonable simplicity without creating too much of a superhuman protagonist.

The son of a criminal boss strikes a deal that goes bad, and veteran muscle becomes embroiled in the mess.
It’s standard fare; nothing particularly interesting, but if you like this sort of thing then it’s perfectly watchable.

I don’t know how to describe this without spoiling it.
It’s good because it’s pre-woke and can handle difficult topics.
Let’s face it, this was likely inspired by Kimba the White Lion

Two people connect because of a portal through time in the shape of a mailbox.
Awkward in various ways, but I can see the charm. Not recommended because The Lake House – (2006 movie) is vastly superior.
This inspired The Lake House – (2006 movie), which is a lot better.

A dude with a certain set of skills does vigilante justice stuff, but when he steps out of the shadows his past catches up to him. Or something.
It’s yet another watchable assassin-esque movie, but it’s kinda meh.

A lovestruck girl makes a wish to enter into the world of a prince.
I’m forced to mark this as disliked if only for the fact that many many avoidable movie-quality mistakes were made: From dimness to grimness, this movie was not youth-friendly in the least.
Instead, see The Little Mermaid – (1989 movie)
