Boyhood

 

[DrForester]

"Every superhero related movie that came out this year except Spiderman"

 

[FTF]

First thing I noticed, Lego Movie is way too high and Dawn of Apes way too low.

 

[AstroNut325]

At the very least Interstellar deserves top 20! Or even top 15.

 

[Scoot McNairy]

Boyhood, Gone Girl, Under the Skin and Interstellar make this a pretty good year for films. Out of those, Interstellar will be the most remembered and talked about, Boyhood the Oscar winner, and Under the Skin the cult favourite.

Heard very good things about Birdman and Whiplash but not seen them yet.

 

[The Technomancer]

5. The Lego Movie

Well deserved.

 

[ItIsOkBro]

i still can't decide if nightcrawler was that good of a movie. jake gyllenhaal's acting was amazing, probably my favourite performance of the year, but the movie itself, idk.

 

[injurai]

DofP beats Interstellar by 10 whole positions...


DofP might be the largest steaming pile of trash I've seen come out this year.

 

[Paskil]

I was extremely disappointed in Snowpiercer. I think GotG is ranked far too low, although it definitely deserves top Marvel slot. Also, The Interview should get top spot just for pissing off Best Korea so much. No mention of The Rover, either...

Grand Budapest is faaaaaar too low.

Yahoo! gonna Yahoo!

 

[Scoot McNairy]

i still can't decide if nightcrawler was that good of a movie. jake gyllenhaal's acting was amazing, probably my favourite performance of the year, but the movie itself, idk.

It's easier to appreciate when you realise it's allegory on capitalism. And pretty on the nose about it too, practically every scene has references to the economy and its driving factors.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Top Five is that good? It topped GoTG

 

[InaudibleWhispa]

Nice to see Coherence in the top 20. It'll probably make my top 10.

 

[Warm Machine]

Snow Piercer in the top 10? What? Above Big Hero 6? Movie is no where near as good as Interstellar and coming from me that is saying something. I'm glad Gone Girl is slightly better than it... Wtf!?!

I'm also surprised I've seen so many movies this year.

I've seen 10 of the movies on this list. I'd put John Wick up here.

 

[harSon]

Have a feeling The Retrieval is going to be criminally under looked in lists like this

 

[Bulbo Urethral Baggins]

#1 is correct, but Snowpiercer in the top 10??

Also, a movie I enjoyed that is not on that list is Locke. Should be up there.

 

[overcast]

Nightcrawler really isn't special. At all.

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is the best blockbuster of the year.

 

[kingslunk]

Boyhood in its rightful spot.

 

[woodland]

Grand Budapest Hotel robbed

snowpiercer's above it. what

 

[Mr.Swag]

Good movies
Good year

 

[wedward]

Nightcrawler really isn't special. At all.

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is the best blockbuster of the year.

Better than most the stuff on this list. Top 5 is a little high but ranking 40 movies seems silly.

 

[GiantEnemyGoomba]

Why are they making a list already? I know most of the big movies have released but isn't Unbroken expected to be really good?

 

[Mr.Swag]

Grand Budapest Hotel is annoying
tried to hard to be itself.

 

[Dawg]

Whiplash and Foxcatcher are movies I really need to see.

Really like drama movies about music & sports.

 

[mrjohill]

Edge of tomorrow should be higher tho

 

[Dénouement]

Really need to watch Boyhood. :O Gone Girl is my favourite movie of the year so far, happy it's up there.

edit: wait whoa. Lego Movie is REALLY high.

 

[Haloid1177]

Birdman below Nightcrawler and Whiplash what the fuck.

 

[alfredofroylan]

Why are they making a list already? I know most of the big movies have released but isn't Unbroken expected to be really good?

More like a mixed bag

 

[Camp Lo]

Fuck Boyhood, Nightcrawler and Gone Girl should be on top.

 

[Aztechnology]

#1 is correct, but Snowpiercer in the top 10??

Also, a movie I enjoyed that is not on that list is Locke. Should be up there.

Have you seen Snow Piercer? It's a fantastical adventure about a man who engineered a train to go around the world, not to save anyone, but because he's a megalomaniac. It's freaking awesome. But yea... it's probably a stretch to say top 10.

 

[King Cobra]

Anyone else see the theory of everything?

 

[nilbog21]

40. Foxcatcher
39. The fault in our stars

That's all I needed to see to stop reading

 

[Priz]

Why is "Chef" missing from this list?

 

[Schweinehund]

Interstellar way too low for my tastes. (or high, I dunno)

 

[Kaban]

Missing The Babadook.

 

[FUBAR McDangles]

33. Edge of Tomorrow (aka Live. Die. Repeat.)
31. Big Hero 6
28. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
25. X-Men: Days of Future Past
23. Captain America: The Winter Soldier
19. Guardians of the Galaxy
8. Snowpiercer
5. The Lego Movie

These are the only ones I saw and I thought GOTG was better than all of them.

 

[EhoaVash]

outside of the amazing animation in lego movie? the movie was meh. overrated as fuck .

I need to go see boyhood.

 

[tycoonheart]

Is Nightcrawler that good?

 

[nateeasy]

Boyhood is overrated.

 

[DarkFlow]

Boyhood is not a good movie. If you took away the "I filmed it over 10 years" bullshit, all you would be left with is... nothing very good.

 

[Akiraptor]

I don't understand the praise behind Mr. Turner. If I had to make a list of the top five worst films I have ever seen, it would definitely be up there. It had no plot at all, the pacing was dreadful, and we didn't even get to see much of why Turner was noteworthy artist of his age.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

Snowpiercer? Really? Is it one of those movies that people like ironically? It was pretty terrible, and the ending is insulting.

 

[lamaroo]

Snowpiercer way too high. I haven't seen most of these movies, but Snowpiercer was awful.

 

[Mr.Swag]

33. Edge of Tomorrow (aka Live. Die. Repeat.)
31. Big Hero 6
28. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
25. X-Men: Days of Future Past
23. Captain America: The Winter Soldier
19. Guardians of the Galaxy
8. Snowpiercer
5. The Lego Movie

These are the only ones I saw and I thought GOTG was better than all of them.

There are four movies better than GOTG in your quote.

 

[DarkFlow]

Opinions, how do they work?

 

[Mr.Swag]

Opinions, how do they work?

Everyone gets to share theirs! That's how

 

[CosmicSmash]

The Raid 2 is missing from that list.

 

[Infernostew]

The Raid 2 is missing from that list.

This. Citizenfour, Cold In July, and Ida got dat snub too
