Because, really when it comes down to it, what's important isn't the storyline or character development or message or novelty of the film, it's the pretty colors.

Full disclosure, I haven't seen Game of Thrones, nor read the books. I'm waiting for it to end so I can binge watch straight through. Anyway, I'm just throwing this out there-

I'm going to say Window of Opportunity from Stargate.
