Jesse Plemons is only in CIVIL WAR (2024) for a few minutes, yet he completely hijacks the movie. The tension in that scene is so unbearable that it feels like the entire film briefly stops breathing. One of the most memorable sequences of the year.

“Got to. This America, man.”

The Wire (2002–2008) ends by quietly showing that the system never really changes, only the people inside it do. New faces slide into old roles, the cycle keeps moving, and the show refuses to give the audience fake closure.
GROSSE POINTE BLANK was released 29 years ago today.
