Movie Challenge

Ok so here's the thing, I have a go at this each year and thought I'd make it a little competition between me and some of my friends. The idea is that you pick 10 of the top films for the summer and 3 dark horse films for the summer. Note this is based on the US Box Office results

If you want to enter post in the comments section with your 13 picks in Top 10 order and 3 (in no order) dark horse movies.

Here is the list and I will post my 13 in the comments. Best of luck and I look forward to the challenge!
