Legends of the Hidden Temple (2016)
It delivers for a TV movie paying homage to the game show it's based on.
To enhance the fun and nostalgia, I'd recommend watching the game show before the movie to make all the references to the names of the teams more enticing. My only two complaints about the movie are it not having enough suspense and it being too short. It should have been made at least an hour and twenty minutes long. Other than that, the script, tone, pacing, set design, costume design, and acting were executed pretty much perfectly. I also love the fact that the host of the game show itself, Kirk Fogg, makes a couple cameo appearances. The script has a lot of potential for sequels whether it gets to be a series of movies, a miniseries, or a show of its own. There's a lot that can be explored if they were to put the time and money into making it come to fruition.
Napoleon Dynamite (2004)
This is a masterpiece created out of nothing.
From its extremely low budget with next to nothing to work with, the way this movie was made is not only uniquely funny, but also immerses you in the town and with the characters in the film. This represents ingenuity at its finest. With the opening credits in particular, it's also a fine work of art. It feels almost like a live-action and cleaner-cut version of Beavis and Butt-Head.
