5) Gone Girl:  From the start to finish of Gone girl I was absolutely paralyzed. This is a film that has you guessing from the start right up until the end.  First with did he do it and then with how are they going to pull this off?  Great actors, great story - it was thrilling and absolutely completely intriguing. I've always loved these psychological thriller and Gone girl is perfect. Pike is getting all the recognition here and she deserves it but Affleck was equally as good.  The ending has some people upset but imo the ending is one of the pieces that makes the film so intriguing.  And it begs you to ask questions about the relationships you see around you.  How good are they really?  Gone Girl will keep the conversation flowing.

 

Trivia:  Ben Affleck's weight fluctuates in the film with him being fairly overweight to being muscular as a result of being cast as Batman.

 

Imagine his nude scene with a fitter body?

Great list Panda. I actually thought Birdman was your number one, so you surprised me with Boyhood.

[luna]

 yeah, i did say many, not all. 

[The Futurist]

Nymphomaniac vol 1&2 were the family movie events of 2014. Dragons 2 and Big Hero 6 could just not compete with Lars ' family thrill ride.

[Cmasterclay]

So is this still a thing?

[Ethan Hunt]

So is anyone doing one right now? If not I'll go ahead and do my top ten or fifteen
