Look, all I’m saying is that they really just don’t make movies like National Treasure anymore. Like this movie is about two dudes in a van who beat a team of highly trained criminals to stealing a valuable document from a high-security museum, by sheer accident get an antiques expert to come along with them to keep the document safe, get involved in several major chase scenes, escape the FBI twice, find a massive treasure, get someone else arrested for their crimes, and then give the treasure back to museums before yeeting out to do it all over again in the sequel. No one was doing it like them. And the thing is, by all accounts, this plot is ridiculous and the dialogue is ridiculous but it works unbelievably well because the writers and actors committed to the bit. This movie is campy and absurd and it’s also one of the most fun and quotable movies of my early childhood because the creators embraced the camp and did it with such a sincerity that it’s a goshdarn delight to watch. Top all of that off with a soundtrack that went WAY harder than it really needed to, excellent atmosphere throughout the whole film, and visuals that were darn near perfect and National Treasure becomes a classic. I’ve been chasing the high I got the first time I watched it my whole life. What a movie.

Live Action 4: Where Fiction Is Fact
National Treasure: Book of Secrets v The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian v The Santa Clause 2
National Treasure 2 {original-National Treasure (2004)}
Nicholas Cage could have just taken an appointment but he decided he'd kidnap the president of the United States instead. Something about Mount Rushmore being a native land disfigured. LIBRARY OF CONGRESS BEST LIBRARY!!! How do you keep the same romantic pair AND tension in first and second movie? by making them break up offscreen before the beginning of the second one. Riley is a poor meow meow
Narnia: Prince Caspian {original- the Chronicles of Narnia: the Lion, the witch, and the Wardrobe (2005)}
It adds to the firsts world building off of what was there playing with the established time difference between the two worlds
Santa Clause 2 {original-The Santa Clause (1994)}
