12. Kingsman: The Secret Service

This might just be the most innocent movie on this list, if we are to take into account the subjects debated in it (but no, it isn’t). Matthew Vaughn returns with Kingsman: The Secret Service, after resurrecting the X-Men franchise and after bringing to life the most violent antihero we’ve seen in quite a while (Chloë Grace Moretz’s Hit Girl).

Kingsman: The Secret Service is pure and violent fun. It is in no way a movie you see for other reasons than for entertainment, quips, and twists. There isn’t too much to say about the plot, which can be said to be paper-thin (and out of the early James Bond movies). But the cast is excellent, the pace is likewise, and in-your-face action is like never before.

Since we mentioned James Bond, we can add a bit of trivia in here – Colin Firth based his character on the 1967 Casino Royale main character. On the other hand, Samuel L. Jackson didn’t – but you can see from a mile away where he took his inspiration from.

You can literally feel the energy exploding in your face from the first minutes the movie starts. And, by the end of it all, you actually want to be in that cell with that Princess (you would, anyway, but the entire movie would make you want it even more).
