Started after the Avengers so that's missing. No idea why Madagascar 3 was left out and Ruby Sparks, what the hell is this, is in. I think People Like Us might've entered too late but Paranorman and Premium Rush should also have been included. Nearly forgot Chernobyl and Abraham Lincoln when I was typing it up, lol.

Pretty accurate so far. Hopefully some of these remain right (SW, TR, TASM)
