Romance and soul searching

"50 Shades of Grey" was a great romance. "Wild" really makes you think about who you are. "Avatar" really made me admit that I am very afraid of heights.

GREAT List

I have no arguments with you, other than, I saw Inside Out last week. Wonderful!!!! If Pixar qualifies as Disney I wold put it ahead of Dumbo. An immediate classic.

Also, maybe add:
