Beautiful list of movies… I must say I still have a lot of movie catching up to do… I certainly trust this movie list… but if I were to add I’ll say War Craft, X-men Apocalypse and Angry Birds… I’m really glad to see Zootopia here… great movie

Why critics don’t rate DC movies I would never know… But great piece all the same
Personally crazy about zootopia could watch it over over and over again and not get tireduhm didn’t really enjoy jungle book tho’still prefer the original cartoon ..but Thank you!!; you’ve given me a list of “must-see” movies.
