1. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004)















In the biggest argument for why we should DEFINITELY have had a Marauders era spinoff, the introduction of David Thewlis and Gary Oldman makes this film an easy number one pick. The only film in the franchise not to include an iteration of big bad Voldemort, it's a refreshing and entertaining adventure that explores the concepts of friendship, loyalty, found family, angst and, well, the healing qualities of a good chocolate bar. 

It provides much-needed context for the Marauders era, with the interaction between veteran actors like Oldman, Thewlis, Alan Rickman and Timothy Spall providing a masterclass within the confines of what is genuinely just a really good time. You'll very likely enjoy this movie regardless of your opinion on Harry Potter. Alfonso Cuaron's entry into the series is cinematic (those Dementors, am I right?), concise and character-driven, so for that we rightfully celebrate its superiority.
