Best Movies of 2014

Boyhood and Citizen Four. I haven't seen Inherent Vice yet, though (damn limited release!); and I have a feeling that could take the top spot.
 
Hard to make a list, because I still need to see a bunch.

But I have to put these up at the top of the ones I've seen

1. Intersteller
2. Edge of tomorrow
3. Maze Runner
4. 22 jump street
5. Let's be cops.


If I watched every movie, then that list could be a lot different. Other than intersteller and edge of tomorrow. Those would probably stay at the top.


Intersteller was freaking awesome. Don't know how anyone couldn't like intersteller. Maybe religion plays a part or something. If you like planetary science, then you should like it. It does a good job of playing with some of the current physics theories out there.
 
Not a 2014 movie, but I just watched "Jiro Dreams of Sushi"

Great movie about devoting ones life to mastering a craft.

Obviously I haven't seen them all (no one has) but this is my short list of the movies I liked best that came out in 2014. The prime examples of things that are going to get omitted because I haven't seen them are Inherent Vice (I don't live in New York or LA so I haven't had a shot) and Boyhood (just missed the boat, it happens). I'm interested in what other people have to say as well, mostly so I can argue with you and tell you that you're wrong. ;)

#1. The One I Love

Incredibly minimalist with essentially only three actors, a semi-improvised script, and an intriguing premise. The movie is wonderful. There's even a stealth dig on Kobe and Vanessa Bryant if you're looking closely.

Just saw it tonight but I might have missed it, could you please elaborate on this? Is it the cheating thing?


A very good movie BTW, won't win any awards just because it's too simple but held my attention til the end nonetheless.

#2. The Grand Budapest Hotel

It's a Wes Anderson movie at his most blissfully, perfectly symmetrical, Wes Andersoniest. Even if you haven't seen it, you probably have an opinion and already know if it's for you.

#3. Snowpiercer

If you've seen it, you know. If you haven't, it has the most ridiculous premise for an action movie you can imagine with all of humanity confined to a gigantic supertrain. IT's also absurdly awesome. It's on Netflix Streaming and is absurdly highly recommended.

#4. Guardians of the Galaxy

Lots of movies over the last few years have shown us how comics can be good. And they just roll in dough making what are essentially action films with a different skin. Guardians of the Galaxy showed why comics are actually fun and people trek out to a store imbued with nerd stank every Wednesday to shell out $4 a copy for books they'll read in under 15 minutes. It also may singlehandedy alter how comic movie properties are selected for the benefit of everyone involved. It is boring to pick the biggest blockbuster of the year as one of the best, but I felt that way.

#5. Top Five

You've probably forgotten how much you like Chris Rock since he doesn't show up in many things. I know I certainly did. This is a very worthy foray into the full writing/directing of fiction chair for him. It has some riotously funny scenes and if you get the opportunity to see it in a majority black neighborhood, do so.

Honorable mention: The Edge of Tomorrow

Worst place: Skeleton Twins.

Second worst place: The Book of Life.

Only one of those I've seen is GBH. I love Wes Anderson. Love him. Not sure what it is other people aren't getting from it or what I am but he gives me exactly what I want. Bottle Rocket was a movie I just ended up watching one time. No advanced warning. My favorite movie of all time, just because I had the best movie watching experience of my life watching that show. Anyway, GBH was fun. It was good Wes Anderson, imho.

But hey, cheap jokes, formulaic plots and special effects are pretty good too.
 
Gone girl was good
 
The best movie that I saw this year was Prisoners....... gyllenhall and jackman killed it. (Don't know what year this movie came out though)

People don't like Wes Anderson because he is the White version of Tyler Perry.

That's a pretty good reason.
 
Black Mirror White Christmas was actually the best movie I saw this year.

If you haven't seen Black Mirror, kill yourself, then rise from the grave and watch it (the first two seasons are on netflix). It's the best TV show in a long time. Only 3 episodes each season so easy to catch up on. It's an anthology series--basically the easiest way to pitch it is Twilight Zone for the tech era.
