2. Guardians of the Galaxy

It’s been out for less than a week as we write this, but it’s already fair to say that James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy is deserving of such a high spot on this list. The writer and director turned characters that even the most die-hard comic book fans had barely heard of into fan favourites, with amazing CGI creations like Groot and Rocket definite highlights.

Calling Guardians of the Galaxy Star Wars for a whole new generation feels justified (at least until Episode VII comes along next year), and the demand for Star-Lord and his team of A-Holes to meet the Avengers has been at an all-time high since the movie was released. Funny, charming and emotional, this is a movie which fans and non-fans alike have embraced, and if it wasn’t for the fact that it didn’t feature the same sort of iconic moments as The Avengers, it could have easily topped this list.

Oh, and don’t get us started on the soundtrack…
