5. Friends with Benefits
This romantic comedy starring Mila Kunis and Justin Timberlake pokes fun at the rom-com cliches while also making audience laugh out loud through the hilarious plot that is almost entirely similar, though executed better than No Strings Attached. With a screenplay written by Will Gluck, the same person behind the perfectly hilarious Easy A, and impeccable chemistry between the film's two leads, it was no doubt that this movie is not only highly entertaining, but also worth watching over and over again.
4. The Help
Adapted from the New York times bestselling novel, this movie adaptation stars Emma Stone in a racist-filled community of Jackson, Mississippi during the 1960s. Viola Davis and Octavia Spencer give powerfully moving performances worthy of an Oscar in their respective roles.
3. X-Men: First Class
In what was the best superhero movie of the year, X-Men: First Class delivers on both storytelling and action. With a stellar cast led by James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender, this installment breathed new life into the staling X-Men series. Here's to hoping there will be more sequel featuring McAvoy and Fassbender.
2. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II
The end of another era came in the form of the Harry Potter series coming to an epic end. The final part of the book series movie adaptation not only charted a new milestone in the careers of the film's three leads, but also beautifully wrapped up what is one of the greatest stories ever told.
1. War Horse
Steven Spielberg brings to live the Tony Award-winning play about a boy and his horse during World War I. The film is beautifully shot, wonderfully orchestrated, and is bound to make you cry like a teenage girl thanks to the emotionally invigorating tale and intense bond between a man and his animal.
