The Malibu Bay Films era officially begins with 1985's Malibu Express, the third film from the legendary Andy Sidaris, a fireworks display of gratuitous nudity and colorful, sexy characters.
Avengers: Endgame is everything you could ask for delivering unpredictable twists and turns, stunning spectacle and emotional moments.
