4. Alita: Battle Angel (2019)
Anytime Rodriguez teams up with another iconic storyteller, be it Kevin Williamson, Quentin Tarantino, or Frank Miller, the results are usually special. For Alita, a live-action adaptation of a popular anime, he worked with the legendary James Cameron and the resulting film was a visually stunning rollercoaster ride. When it was released, it wasn’t incredibly well-received but time has given the franchise new fans, fresh eyes, and a growing appreciation for its scale and ambition.
