Welcome back to Bad Dads Film Review! Today, we're scaling cinematic heights as we countdown the Top 5 Tall Things in movies. Whether these towering elements serve as stunning backdrops or pivotal plot points, they definitely leave a lasting impression. Later, we’ll take a closer look at the thriller Fall, and the whimsical Dizzy Heights Hotel.

Top 5 Tall Things in Movies:

1. The Burj Khalifa in "Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol" (2011) - Tom Cruise’s daring stunt on the world’s tallest building not only serves as a thrilling sequence but also highlights the iconic structure’s staggering height and architectural marvel.
2. The Empire State Building in "King Kong" (1933 and 2005 versions) - This iconic skyscraper plays a crucial role in the climax of both films, as it becomes the final stand for the giant ape, symbolizing the intersection of man-made wonders and natural forces.
3. The Wall in "Game of Thrones" (TV Series) - Stretching over 700 feet tall and made of ice, the Wall is one of the most formidable barriers in cinematic and television history, representing both a physical and psychological divide.
4. The Dark Tower in "The Dark Tower" (2017) - As the nexus of the universe, the Tower’s immense height and significance in the plot symbolize the monumental stakes involved in protecting or destroying it.
5. The Titanic's Stern in "Titanic" (1997) - The dramatic scene of the Titanic's stern rising high into the air before sinking emphasizes the massive scale of the disaster, making it one of the most memorable tall elements in film history.

 In Fall, the height isn't just a background element; it's central to the film’s tension and terror. The movie revolves around two friends trapped at the top of a 2,000 feet tall radio tower, making for a gripping survival story that uses the extreme height to amplify the psychological and physical stakes.

Switching to a lighter note, Dizzy Heights Hotel takes us into a fantastical high-rise hotel where each floor hosts whimsical adventures and quirky characters. This animated treat not only entertains but also creatively uses its vertical setting to weave together various storylines and humorous escapades.
