Took me forever but it’s finally here, the list of my Top 15 favorite movies from 2014! As you know, I was struggling with it, I was certain some movies just had to be on it before I finished it. Then, I had to change 10 to 15, and this is the end result to hours and hours of brain cracking. Eventually, I also decided on a different favorite movie of 2014 than I had originally thought. In other words, this list is as full of surprises for me as it might be for you!
Here is the final list for the 2014 in Retrospect series!
Possibly good movies I haven’t seen yet: ’71, American Sniper, Wild, The Theory of Everything, Foxcatcher, Inherent Vice, The Guest, Selma, John Wick, Unbroken, Big Eyes, The Judge, The Normal Heart, A Most Violent Year, The Drop and many more.
________________________
How about that? Whiplash takes the first place though it was Nightcrawler all the way for so long.. I guess some movies just quietly maintain there presence and Whiplash sort of did that. Then again there’s that long list of possibly good movies I haven’t seen yet – this was one hell of a year to be honest! Truly amazing with so many surprises, the rise of the indie genre and the style of making movies a little bit differently. Besides, I have to admit, it’s been a long time since I’ve been this excited about movies than I was in 2014!
Here’s to an even more thrilling 2015!

January 21, 2015 at 6:01 PMNice list! I’m holding off mine until I see Whiplash because I’m pretty sure it will make it on there. I just have a feeling.

January 21, 2015 at 6:04 PMI did the same with Birdman so it’s understandable. But I couldn’t hold the list for longer because I already spent so much time making it and changing it, it became annoying. 😀

January 21, 2015 at 7:48 PMI’m fighting over how to narrow my top 10 down, but I’m happy to see Whiplash make your number 1! Great graphics, girl 🙂

January 21, 2015 at 8:09 PMHah! Thanks so much! I was struggling too and then I was like.. yeah, whatever, Top 15 it is. 😀

January 21, 2015 at 10:36 PMI can’t even narrow it down to a top 20, I’ve been working on mine for ages now! I feel bad for the movies left out, and I still have a couple of movies I want to see before I publish. Anyway, we share some love here, like for Nightcrawler, Whiplash, Birdman, Gone Girl – all definitely in my top 10.
How is Two Night Stand?

January 21, 2015 at 10:40 PMSurprisingly good considering Ive watched it twice already and wouldn’t mind watching it again. I put it in because I rarely like those movies but in 2014.. I sort of liked two and I guess that means a lot. 😀

January 22, 2015 at 12:53 AMI had never heard of it, but considering what you said and the fact that Tipton and Teller probably make the cutest, most lovable onscreen couple EVER, I’ll check it out this week. 😀

January 22, 2015 at 3:45 AMGlad you like Whiplash! I loved it, too. At least, we have something in common: SOME POSSIBLY GOOD MOVIES WE MISSED IN 2014.

January 22, 2015 at 10:12 AMThere are so many movies I’ve yet to see it’s madness.. but if I watched all, I’d probably be not able to put this list together at all. 😀

January 22, 2015 at 10:12 AMI was surprised.. it was Nightcrawler for a long time ago but then.. I was like.. no, I like Whiplash a lot more! 😀

January 22, 2015 at 5:00 AMAwesome list! Birdman, Whiplash, and Nightcrawler would have made my best movies of the year if only I had seen them last year.

January 22, 2015 at 10:13 AMI saw Birdman this year.. but I figured.. I’ll give 2015 releases some chance as well.. 😀

January 22, 2015 at 8:11 AMRight now, I have Gone Girl in my top spot. I’ve got a long way to go, though. I’ve only seen of 5 of the movies on your list. Great work.

January 22, 2015 at 10:13 AMOnly 5? Wow.. and here I thought I haven’t seen enough this year. :/

January 22, 2015 at 3:46 PMI love seeing these lists that don’t all look the same!!!!! I’ve only seen a handful, but I can’t wait to see the rest!

January 23, 2015 at 12:04 AMI’ve seen so many different ones and it is somewhat awesome because it means there were so many great ones this year and everybody just likes what they like.. and it’s okay. 🙂

January 22, 2015 at 8:57 PMGreat seeing Birdman so high up! All of your picks, out of the ones I’ve seen are really excellent
mettelray
January 23, 2015 at 12:05 AMI’m pretty sure it’ll be even higher after I see your review because based on one viewing, I’m pretty sure I missed a lot of awesome. 😀
Tanks for the comment! 🙂

January 23, 2015 at 6:19 PMMy review is so far just the cover image, I have such trouble collecting all my thoughts into coherent whole. This film is insanely rich

January 31, 2015 at 1:25 AMI literally haven’t seen most of these. I am a shame to my country, my parents and my dog. And CC Plaza. 🙁
Great list, though, and I totally believe all of these belong to a Top 15 of a year.

January 31, 2015 at 1:59 AMThat’s a shame… but don’t feel shame.. I haven’t seen many good ones and I can never seem to catch up either.
