baumer Posted December 29, 2014 Author Share Posted December 29, 2014 My top 4 films all could have been number one at one point in the year, with the exception of FIOS. That was going to be my number one as soon as I bought it on DVD. But Birdman absolutely shocked me. I didn't think I was going to like it at all but it was such a hypnotic experience that it had to be top 5. Wild, TIWILY and Whiplash were all terrific as well, but nothing affected me more than Fault this year. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to do one, probably Just a top 25 though. right now I've only seen 34. but I can wait cause I still have a lot of movies I need to see. (I may get impatient and just put one out before I see everything though) Edited December 29, 2014 by KaloVisor 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAJK Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Great list overall Baumer! I'm really glad how much you love TFIOS, and I agree that Pompeii is horribly underrated. I haven't seen the Captive, John Wick or Whiplash but ill hopefully be checking them out ASAP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blankments Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I'm so fucking jealous of everyone who has the opportunity to see Whiplash. I've thought it looks fantastic since the first trailer but NOPE, NO ONE BY ME WILL PLAY IT 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Panda Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 The Panda's Top 20 Films of 2014 I finished my top ten worst of 2014 and so now it is time for me to deliver what are my top twenty films of 2014. I was originally just going to do a top ten with five honorable mentions but there were to many films I felt like I was snubbing (even giving an honorable mention to), so I decided to give my twenty best with no honorable mentions. These aren't necessarily the films I felt were the best made, although that does play a factor and in some cases they were, and they are my personal picks. I'd also like to point out, because of either no theater playing near me or the film coming out at a time where I simply couldn't make it to the theater, I was unable to see Whiplash, Foxcatcher, Selma, American Sniper, John Wick, Inherent Vice, or Nightcrawler. There were many people who did see those that included them on their lists, maybe some of them would have made this list, maybe none of them would have, however I have not seen them so they will not be making an appearance here (although if I see them in time they may be able to make an appearance on my best of the half-decade if they're good enough). Onto the films I did see, every film on my list really did earn their spot on here and none of the movies I am going to mention are on here because I had nothing else to put. I saw a total of 75 movies this year and there were 35 of them that I gave a B- or higher to (a definitively positive rating from me. I do like some of my Cs and C+s, but those were still more of a mixed like), however don't think that just because I gave one movie a higher grade than the other that it will necessarily be higher on the list, I did not take the grade I gave the movie into consideration when making this list. So naturally, there will be a few of instances where a movie I gave say a B+ to ranks higher than a movie I gave an A or A- to. Enough of my jabbering nonsense though, time to start the list. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
