1. Spider-Man 2002 - I remember being 5 years old when my mother came home one night and gave me a copy of Amazing Fantasy #15 and a VHS copy of this film. After reading that comic and watching that movie, Spider-Man was solidified as my favorite superhero. I read the comics, I had a bunch of toys, I played a lot of the video games, I dressed up as him for Halloween more than once. But perhaps most importantly, I watched that movie every day after school for the next year or so. I always figured "I'll just watch this one cool scene and then go do my homework or whatever" and once the movie started and that theme kicked in, I just couldn't stop watching. That movie's a piece of my soul, it was such an essential aspect of my childhood, and it was genuinely inspiring to me. While I would consider Spider-Man 2 and Spider-Man: Homecoming to be better films overall, neither had quite the same impact on me as a person and who I wanted to be that Spider-Man 2002 did.

2. Captain America: The Winter Soldier - So Thor: The Dark World was a pretty big disappointment for me. I consider it to be Marvel's worst film still to this day, and while I was still looking forward to The Winter Soldier, my sky-high expectations had been brought down somewhat by the lackluster-ness of Thor 2. And even though I'd looked at RT (sorry) beforehand and seen how high it was scoring, I thought "That's cool, but I'm not sure it'll be quite as good as people seem to be saying". And sure enough... not only did I think it was as good as people were saying, I thought it was a lot better, and still to this day consider it to be Marvel's best film (quite the turnaround, eh?). I can go on and on about how incredible this movie is in terms of its action, in terms of how dark it gets (this is probably the closest Marvel's ever gotten to making an R-rated film), but what I love most about this movie is that it took a character that I'd previously thought was cool, but not necessarily one of my favorite heroes, and it made him possibly my favorite hero in the MCU. I love the journey he goes on in terms of him wanting to do the right thing and realizing that the place where he thought he could fulfill that goal turns out to be secretly evil and the crisis is puts him in, I love how rather than focus on him adjusting to modern times in terms of things like technology and pop culture they choose to focus more on his adjustment to modern-day politics and such, I love the advancement of his relationship with Black Widow and the start of his new friendship with Falcon, and I love the tragedy of his relationships with Bucky and Peggy (those scenes get me every time). Of all the Marvel movies, this is the one I've probably re-watched the most and the one I have the most respect for. And that's saying something considering Cap was never a favorite hero of mine and considering all the other great shit Marvel had done done before and has done since.
