10.) The Finest Hour [1/30/2016 - 3D IMAX]

Chris Pine seems to be cast in movies about historical events in which seemingly insurmountable odds were overcome (see: Unstoppable, 2010; alternatively, his tenure on the Star Trek films could be fictionalized accounts of these same movies).  Despite knowing that everything turns out okay in the end, The Finest Hour was an incredibly tense movie.  It could have to do with my Midwestern distrust of deep water, but the long shots of impossibly turgid waves breaking massive oil tankers in half has now replaced all my previously recurring nightmares.  This was a good movie, and worth seeing on the big screen (the 3D didn't add much, but the scope of the IMAX was a nice touch).
