Whether it’s being meme’d for its ending scene with Linkin Park’s “What I’ve Done” playing in the background, or referenced for how well the special effects have aged compared to today’s standards, there’s just something special about the first Transformers movie. It’s got the polish of a Hollywood action blockbuster, but at its core, it’s another coming-of-age story with some of 2007’s hottest stars. Throw in some spectacular setpieces, explosions, and top-notch humor, and you’ve developed a core memory for every teenager at the time who’s now pushing 40.
