With movie studios looking to turn more and more of their intellectual properties into franchises, it’s becoming more rare to find blockbusters that don’t span multiple sequels, or full-blown cinematic universes. However, there’s also something special about standalone films that left a lasting impression on us. Here are our favorite “One and Done” movies that we think you should check out from HBO Go, powered by the fastest internet connection in the country—PLDT Home!
