2) Captain America – Or as I like to call it, The Rocketeer Pt. 2. It was the Captain America movie we all were waiting for, and my anticiption for the Avengers is at a fever pitch
1) The Muppets – What a love letter to Jim Henson. Just an absolutely beautiful film.

Simply that the pool I drew this list from was nowhere near encyclopedic.
