I should really see Boyhood... I'm going through a Linklater phase atm, watched School of Rock last week (great!) and Bernie twice this week (superb film).

I'd argue your viewpoint, but looking at your username, that would be fruitless.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hmm... Let's see... *checks Speakeasy link*

 

Lots of "movies that tricked people" lists... think I'll give it a try...

I remember seeing School of Rock at the cinema. Sat right next to a speaker. Loved it. For a few years it was my favourite film.

Fuck Joel, I'm a fan of the Seven time FIA Formula One World Champion Michael Schumacher.

I should add that I like Interstellar, it's good. Just poking fun at the Nolan hero-worship

I want to see the Before trilogy, but it's not on Netflix and I don't have the money to buy them on blu-ray.

Community is now on Netflix. Man is good.

[The Futurist]

I like our tops, it s a good balance between auteurs and blockbusting.

The way it should be.

Not enough Fault in Our Stars though.

[ladyevenstar22]

first huge shocker for me GOTG all the way down to 9!!!!! WTF WTF     

 

i didnt put birdman on my list , a big thing for me in picking movies for that list was the odds of me rewatching said movie , birdman i've watched it and feel no interest in rewatching it , it isnt bad just doesnt cut it for me on the rewatchable factor

 

yep amazing amy deserves to be in the top 10 ,no complain here

 

everything is indeed awesome go LEGO MOVIE your legacy will go on 

 

xmen:dofp made it without my contribution 

 

 

 

whiplash is such a creepy movie about verbal psychological abuse 

 

budapest hotel still haven't seen it and dont feel any urgent rush to do so either 

 

 

frankly what you did with mockingjay was unneccessary and hurtful to its fans 

i wrote this thinking it had made the list :

mockingjay pt 1 YES , this movie made me change my tune on the hunger games series and read the trilogy finally at breakneck speed so 2015 wouldnt find me still reading it so yeah the movie was that good!

 

 

haven't seen boyhood yet and not in a rush to see it either Zzzzz

 

can't believe i stayed up reading pages to find out the top 10 list 

 

 

well this list ended on a burp pff sorry but i think i'll skip this next year , waste of my time but par for the course as such things as lists are always very subjective and my taste rarely aligned with that of the majority here so that's that for perspective !

 

goodnight , 2 hrs of sleep i won't get back now

only 2 of my Top 10 were in this Top 10. Half didn't make the Top 25.

[BK007]

Before the reveal of the top 2, here are the movies which missed the list, one more vote for any of them and they would have made the list.

 

Mockingjay

Pride

Snowpiercer

The Fault in Our Stars

The Tale Of Princess Kaguya

The Babadook

Calvary

Big Hero 6

The Guest

Begin Again

 

MJ, FIOS and BA were in my list, so BA would've made the list, MJ too. 

 

Thanks for the list grim, though why is it conducted so early? Perhaps a week before Oscars might be better.

 

Interstellar is a joke #1, but it was still something to admire. I can't believe that TDKR was #1? What a fucking awful movie. 

[#ED]

I completely agree with this list. It has my approval.

That's f**ked up. Three of my favorite movies would have made the list had I voted. It's grim's fault. He didn't persuade me.

 

Congratulations to all of us for this epic troll fest. Collectively, we have the intellect and love for spectacle of first-year film students.

 

Wow. That didn't sound pretentious at all. I guess James Cameron and Quentin Tarantino, who both gave it high praise, are also the equivalent of first-grade film students to you.

 

For the record, as wonderful as I think Interstellar is it probably wouldn't have made my Top 10, let alone Top 1.

 

Btw, great job with the countdown, grim.

[Dementeleus]

I'm not surprised Cameron praised it: it's unceasingly focused on promoting science and space travel, things that are near and dear to him as well.

[ShouldIBeHere]

Interstellar won?
