48.) Mission Impossible: Rouge Nation [8/6/2015 - IMAX]

On the spectrum of excellent spy-movie franchises, this sits just below the Daniel Craig Bond films and the first three Bourne movies, but it is far better than Jeremy Renner's Bourne and Pierce Brosnan as Bond; this was a fun, thrilling, summer-time action movie, and thankfully, Ethan Hunt seems to be aging in this universe, as the espionage is taking it's toll on him both physically and mentally, which, while it runs counter to everything old-man-action movies tend to stand for (see: The Expendables), suggests that the franchise is aware that the conceit is ridiculous and not tenable.
