baumer Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Wolf was your number one of 2013. So I'm not sure what your number one is. Perhaps this movie? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dementeleus Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Wolf was your number one of 2013. So I'm not sure what your number one is. Perhaps this movie? It was, although most of the top 10 is so close to each other that I won't be surprised if ranking change slightly over time. They're all neck and neck. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dementeleus Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 #1: Boyhood written and directed by: Richard Linklater The opposite, in many ways, to my #2 movie, this is a more sprawling story. It gently unfolds. Characters (almost exclusively) are treated warmly. It’s not a judgemental film, it’s not about the darker aspects of human nature. In fact, in almost every way, describing it makes it sound nondescript. And yet, there’s a cumulative power here that’s almost overwhelming… it just sneaks up on you. The last forty-five minutes or so is the most emotional continuous experience I’ve had in movies since… I dunno, maybe ROTK. It manages to be a movie of precise, small, nondescript moments very specific to Texas at the turn of the century, and yet it’s completely and powerfully universal as well. This is not a movie for the brain, it’s a movie for your heart. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Futurist Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 (edited) The Grey is an underrated gem but man, that movie is really bleak as fuck. And the story of this movie gives me the chills when you know what happened to Liam Neeson in real life.

CoolioD1 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Thinking about it The Grey and Gravity are basically the same thing thematically. And tele's right, it's more hopeful than bleak, and Neeson's personal life adds to it. Did you kno Bradley Cooper was originally gonna lead that film? I like him, but no way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, he's too young, Neeson's age really helped. ? Did you think it was bleak because they all died? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fancyarcher Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Great list Tele. I think I love / enjoy every single film on your top 10, though I haven't seen Leviathan yet, admittedly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Futurist Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Hope was nowhere to be found in The Grey I thought. Weird that you see hope in this movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
