I know it didn't come out this year but I did see 'E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial' at the cinema this summer and it was absolutely brilliant - even better than I remembered. Plus a kid telling someone they have "Zero charisma" is easily the funniest insult of all time!

1. The Way Way Back
2. The Worlds End
3. The Kings of Summer
4. The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug
