No. 1 Captain America
Captain America is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by cartoonists Joe Simon and Jack Kirby, the character first appeared in Captain America Comics from Timely Comics, a predecessor of Marvel Comics. Captain America was designed as a patriotic supersoldier who often fought the Axis powers of World War II and was Timely Comics' most popular character during the wartime period. The popularity of superheroes waned following the war and the Captain America comic book was discontinued in 1950, with a short-lived revival in 1953. Since Marvel Comics revived the character in 1964, Captain America has remained in publication. Captain America was the first Marvel Comics character to appear in media outside comics with the release of the 1944 movie serial, Captain America. So this movie should be the top 1 that Marvel fans could not miss.


No. 2 Hulk
Hulk is a 2003 American superhero film based on the fictional Marvel Comics character of the same name directed by Ang Lee which stars Eric Bana as the title character, Jennifer Connelly as Betty Ross, Sam Elliott as General Thaddeus E.

The film explores the origins of Bruce Banner, who after a lab accident involving gamma radiation finds himself able to turn into a huge green-skinned monster whenever he is emotionally provoked or stressed, while he is pursued by the United States military and comes into a conflict with his biological father, who has his own dark agenda for his son.

Later, Stark develops his suit, adding weapons and other technological devices he designed through his company, Stark Industries. He uses the suit and successive versions to protect the world as Iron Man. Although at first concealing his true identity, Stark eventually declared that he was, in fact, Iron Man in a public announcement. Iron Man is favored by a lot of Marvel fans and if you have watched all the Iron Man series, then you would also shed tears when you watched his death scene.

As his brother Loki plots to take the Asgardian throne, Thor must prove himself worthy. The film was a financial success and many in the cast received praise, and you also should not miss this as Thor is one of the original Avengers founding members.

2. Launch iTunes while pressing Shift key (Windows) or Options key (Mac).
3. The window “Choose iTunes Library” will pop up, choose “Choose Library”.

Method 3: Recover iTunes lost playlist through library.xml file
