John Wick (2014)

In my opinion, even though these movies aren't for everyone (they're full of killing and gore), this ongoing series of movies will eventually become a classic. The plot for the original movie is amazing - John's wife passes away of cancer and just before she does, she gifts John a new dog to remember her by. One night, some robbers from the crime underworld break into John's house to rob his car and tragically, kills the dog. But, what these robbers didn't know was that John Wick was a legendary, retired assassin; so John goes on a revenge quest to kill those who killed his dog. The later movies gradually build upon lore about the crime underworld and the lives of assassins and that's what I love the most about the series - the secret society which is explored is fascinating but also just absurd, which leads to some great humour throughout the trilogy. My friends and I always have a great time with these movies and I feel others here may too! Also, Keanu Reaves is a legend.
