So, if anyone's on social media, there's a new challenge(of sorts) going around, to list YOUR favorite(not best) movies for every year, since the year you were born.

I wanted to ask it here, because I'm curious to see what some of you would say.  There were some really tough years(1984), some were easy(1981), some were just meh(2010).  All these movies are movies I'd drop everything I'm doing and watch.  But again, curious to see what others would say.

Starting from the top:

2014:  Captain America: The Winter Soldier
2013:  G.I. Joe Retaliation
2012:  The Avengers
2011:  Captain America: The First Avenger
2010:  True Grit

I struggled with 2011, 2010, 2007, 2006 and 2001 because there were so few worthy choices.  I more or less settled on those choices.
And 1984 was tough!  There were about 10 I could have picked.
