This movie is full of action, comedy, and heart. Also, Jake Gyllenhaal gives an amazing performance as the villain Mysterio.
3. Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014)

The movie is filled with heart-racing action scenes such as the elevator fight and the highway fight scene. Not to mention the fantastic character development for all of the cast. For their directorial debut in the MCU, the Russo brothers did a fantastic job with this movie.
