I was kind of *meh* about Deadpool in the theater. I have a variable reaction to graphic violence, it's kind of odd, and at this time it took me back a bit. It definitely had some good stuff and was very well paced.
Zootopia was quite a film. It carried a lot of the 'cop tropes', which isn't a bad thing in and of itself, like the 'gruff chief' who gives you 48 hours to solve a case or you're fired, etc. I enjoyed that. I worked for a PD doing computer work for nine years and had lots of fun hearing stories from all of the cops that I worked with. Some were extremely grim and dark, but most were pretty damn funny. There are very few films that I have seen tens of times, but off-hand I'd put Blade Runner, Buckaroo Banzai, Blues Brothers, and Big Trouble in Little China on that list. Probably Star Trek 2: Wrath of Khan, I'm not sure about that one.
