Movies That Lived Up to the Hype

These are all movies that—for whatever reason—were hotly anticipated by large audiences and were expected to meet expectations based on the first movies/the book/the director's previous work/the symbolism the movie itself represented.
I'm specifically referring to pre-release hype, meaning the kind where people were excited but still nervous because no one knew if the movie was going to be good or not.
