I’m not an expert, but I feel like there’s really no way to hate the movie National Treasure. It’s a silly premise, sure, and the dialogue leaves something to be desired, but the leads have good chemistry and the sidekick character has comic timing for days.

Plus, it’s inspired these 20 posts, and really, that makes it an instant classic.

20. Please, please let this happen.

To Disney President Bob Iger: PLEASE MAKE 'NATIONAL TREASURE 3' ASAP. THE LAST ONE WAS CALLED 'THE BOOK OF SECRETS' BUT WE DIDN'T ACTUALLY GET TO SEE INSIDE THE ACTUAL BOOK! WE NEED TO EXPLORE THE BOOK AND WE NEED A THIRD MOVIE. ALSO, THIS WOULD MEAN MORE NIC CAGE. PLEASE, SIR.

19. It is quite the 180, but that’s what makes it so amazing.

Within the first half hour of National Treasure, Nicolas Cage says both “I’m not going to let you steal the Declaration of Independence” and “I’m going to steal the Declaration of Independence” and this might be the greatest movie ever made.

18. We will all fight you.

There are two types of people in this world….Those who enjoy the National Treasure movies with Nicholas Cage and those who are my mortal enemies.

16. Riley Poole is the only one with common sense, here, and we love him for it.

15. Yeah, no hanky panky during the film, sir.

look if you’re gonna invite someone over to “watch a movie” you better pick a movie no one gives a shit about. once a guy picked “National Treasure” and guess what we did? watched the entire movie bc it’s flame. guess what we did not do.

14. More proof you can’t trust Rotten Tomatoes.

Hi uh National Treasure is the greatest movie ever and the 45% rating on rotten tomatoes means nothing

— Steele Johnson (@Steele_Johnson) September 17, 2018

13. I could get behind that.

HOT TAKE. The National Treasure movies ARE National Treasures and deserve more respect

11. Season 1 of Game of Thrones all makes sense, now.

Watching National Treasure with my son, and it JUST dawned on me that Ned Stark tried to steal the Declaration of Independence…

Guess he kinda had it coming.

10. No one is going to argue with you I don’t think.

While we're at it, can we also dispose of this fiction that National Treasure isn't one of the best movies ever made.

— Katy Tur (@KatyTurNBC) January 14, 2018

9. Yeah, what if THAT?

6. Maybe he’s a big fan of lemonade?

The most unrealistic thing about National Treasure is that Nick Cages dad has an entire bowl of lemons in his fridge. Like who has an EnTiRe BoWl oF LeMoNs is their FrIdGe?¿
