Warning: There are spoilers
1. Avengers: Endgame (2019)
Avengers: Endgame is number 1 hit in the box office with earnings of about $2,797,800,000, so it is obvious that it is at the top of this list. Avengers: Endgame is an action-packed movie full of the superheroes that we know and love. With actors like Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, and even Josh Brolin, the movie contains a group of superheroes that come together to fight the all-powerful, Thanos. This movie is a sequel to the movie, Avengers: Infinity War. Infinity War puts our heroes against a villain that they can’t stop. It shows how you don’t always win. Then in Endgame, all of the heroes come together to defeat the inevitable.
2. Star Wars: New Hope (1977)
The Rise of Skywalker is the new Star Wars movie coming out in December. We don’t specifically know what it is focused on, but we have an idea. A New Hope was the first Star Wars movie, and, as such, is the first love of many young viewers. A New Hope features a young boy named Luke Skywalker that is working at his uncle’s moisture farm on a desert planet called Tatooine. He comes across two droids named R2-D2 and C3PO. The two droids are carrying a message from a princess named Leia Organa. As R2-D2 runs away, Luke is brought to Obi Won Kenobi, an old Jedi that fought alongside Luke’s father. After giving Luke his father’s old lightsaber, Luke and Kenobi set off to meet a scavenger named Han Solo. They all leave on Solo’s lightspeed aircraft, the Millennium Falcon. After finding a planet destroyer named the Death Star, they find Princess Leia and destroy the Death Star.
3. Spiderman: Far From Home (2019)
Spiderman: Far From Home is another movie in the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe). It is featured after Endgame and is a good watch. The movie starts off with Peter Parker, played by Tom Holland, who is a young boy from Queens that has many superpowers as a result of a radioactive spider-bite. He travels on a school trip to Europe and is ready to just relax for once. But as this is going on, inter-dimensional beings are being fought by a man named Quentin Beck that also goes by the name of “Mysterio.” Marvel then gives us a moment between Beck and Parker that leads us to believe that Beck will be taking over the “father” position in place of the deceased, Tony Stark. Then, the movie throws a twist that this was all just a ploy so that Beck could make everything how he wanted. And as it turns out, the inter-dimensional beings were actually a trick of holograms. In the end, Peter finishes off Beck and gets the girl.
4. The Hunger Games (2012)
The Hunger Games movie is based on a novel by Suzanne Collins. It shows a young woman named Katniss Everdeen that is basically in a really messed up society. The Hunger Games are essentially a brawl of 26 people from the 13 districts of the world. Katniss is a part of District 12, along with a boy named Peeta. They both go into the brawl and fight to the death. Katniss fights Peeta close to the end of the Games and finds him injured. After they have a moment, they group up to fight the last people. After beating the last people, they realize one of them has to die. They can’t bear making the other die so they try to die at the same time. This is eventually stopped and they are crowned as the winners.
