Skyfall: to me it delivered all across the board with a great overall story, cast and it blended movie genres together so seamlessly yet still remained bond in its nature and genre. It also surpassed its predecessors. Therefore it is my number one movie on this list however it may be subject to change yet I highly highly doubt it.
The Dark Knight Rises: again like skyfall it had a pretty good story overall, cast and it stayed true to Nolans version of Batman. The only reason I cannot place it above skyfall is simply because it didn't surpass its predecessors like Skyfall and some even would argue it is the weakest in the series and it didn't live up to the hype. I however enjoyed it enough to have seen it more than 5 times. What really made this movie be placed in my top 5 was Tom Hardys character Bane: he was a overly relatable villain and as crazy as it sounds I saw myself having a lot in common with him and at times even rooted for him. So the balance between good and neccesary evil is why the dark knight stood out amongst the crowd.
Moonrise Kingdom: You have to have an indie film that stands out and really has nothing going for it but the story itself like other films relying on prequels or sequels or action or something known to a person. The fact that this movie really was on its on against titans this year and still remained succesful and people actually enjoyed it not only movie arts people is exactly why its number 3 on my list and that's arguable considering the movies I'm going to list after were just as good and in some minds better and more enjoyable yet those films are more mainstream.
The Avengers: could've gone number 3 or even number 5 because it was the most CGI affected movie I've seen and it had an entire cast of a list stars. Plus the avengers is so well known if the justice league had a movie I would probably think the same but a little less considering dcs success rate vs marvels and considering marvel is owned by Disney now. So this movie couldn't help but be some what successful considering the success of thor, captain america' and of course iron man and underated actor Robert Downey Jr. Who pretty much made the movie stand out and land on my top 5 list I was tempted to put Sherlock Holmes: Game of shadows here but I forgot it came out last year.
Men in Black 3: even though the story was cheesy at moments at times I enjoyed it more than some of the movies on this list because it had more heart and it reminded me of past times in the movie and in my own life. It definitely deserved a spot on my top 5 list.
