The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2013)

Catching Fire is easily the strongest entry of the trilogy. The game itself has a unique threat element to it. The characters are all interesting. The struggle and rebellion are starting to ignite beautifully. Everything about this is turning it up to the next level. Ending on a cliffhanger really cements the ending of the second act in this bigger story. This is a must-watch to be paired with the first film.
