Everyone seems to love the worst list rather than the best, but here's the list of what I loved the most this calendar year!.
10. Bad Words: A dark and viciously bitter satire that had me rolling in my chair.
9. Gone Girl: A tough first half, but takes on a much more entertaining edge in the second hour.
8. X-Men: Days of Future Past: A pretty well done time travel film, engrossing and fun
7. Dead Snow 2: Red vs. Dead: A hysterically splattery sequel that meets the originals standards. You'll never hear Total Eclipse of the Heart in the same way..
6. Fury: Stunningly well done, one of the finest and hardest hitting war films since Saving Private Ryan
5. Life Itself: An examination of the life of the late Roger Ebert, will bring you to tears.
4. Snowpiercer: Woefully unknown film, class warfare on the train carrying what's left of mankind following a botched global warming fix. Wonderful film.
3. Boyhood: Richard Linklater's look at a boy's life, filmed over 13 years (literally) from age 5-18.
2. Interstellar: Chris Nolan's take on deep, thoughful sci-fi isn't without flaws, but for something a bit more pure than a galaxy far far away, this is the best in a long time.
1. Guardians of the Galaxy: Everytime...EVERYTIME the opening strains of Redbone's Come and Get Your Love comes across the speakers and the action begins on screen, I get a huge cheesy smile across my face that never goes away the whole time. How can you get a better experience than that?
