Which is even worse than being bad, really. How much is a movie worth if I can't even work up any enthusiasm to dislike it? 

This scene is pretty neat at least:

Meant to say Mad Max instead of IO again lol

I wanna say #5 is Room but how hilarious would it be if Ant-Man was fifth? Now that The Martian is 6th I don't condone AM showing up though, because that over Martian would be a fucking joke.

An American every man who's a scientist and an astronaut?  

 

It's pretty much a poster child for exceptionalism.  Its the anti Armageddon where we send out boneheads to space to save us.

ROOM

 

 

2015 saw 2 different takes at being imprisoned in a bunker/room and being abused for an extended period of time. While "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" took the comedy and happy route to tackle the subject, Room was way too real and on point. The movie does a really smart thing taking the point of view of the little kid and we see everything as he sees it. A strong performance by Brie Larson and an awards worthy performance by Jacob Tremblay power the movie. The final scene is one of my favorites from 2015 as well.

 

 

 

Watching everyone refer to it as "The Room" was funny though

This was incredible. I know it's often a hyperbole when people say this, but it really makes you see more of the beauty of the world after you leave. Larson and Tremblay are amazing together, and their relationship, though its ups and downs, single handedly carries the movie as they go through their unusual series of events. Right as the movie seems like it may end, the actual second act begins, exploring the impact of what follows, and every emotion captured feels authentic, real, and truly mesmerizing. It's a true emotional powerhouse. As I said before, the heart of the movie is the love between mother and son, and I've never seen a relationship between parent and child this raw, this beautiful. I cried so many times during the second act, and the finale gave me goosebumps.

 

It's a comparable movie experience to Cloud Atlas, Inside Out, and Her for me. Truly a masterpiece of cinematic empathy and hope.

Room was such a mindblowing experiencing of a film for me. Amazing to see it in the top five.

That depends on whether you see FG as completely serious about Forrest's success or as satirical. There's a case to be made for the latter.

Room is too low, way too low.  Even worse it's under the way overrated Mad Max: If You Don't Behave I'm Turning This Car Around  and Star Wars: A ReHash

Impossible. Number 1 is Inside Out with Star Wars looking at it with a 2-3 points difference.
