1. Boyhood

2. Gone Girl

3. The Raid 2

4. Interstellar

5. Grand Budapest Hotel

6. Coherence

7 Guardians of the Galaxy

8. It Follows

9. Edge of Tomorrow

10. Calvary

Haven't Seen: Whiplash, Foxcatcher, Birdman, Nightcrawler Inherent Vice, Under the Skin

Most overrated: Captain America Winter Soldier, Snowpiercer

I'd disagree with you on Captain America. It was really good in my opinion.

seems silly to make my list, since i fully expect to love whiplash and foxcatcher. super eager to see a most violent year and inherent vice too.

but my top 3 for now:

1. boyhood (by far)

2. birdman

3. grand budapest hotel (very distant third)

was quite disappointed by most of the "good" movies so far. I enjoyed nightcrawler, but i wanted to love it. Fury is watchable. didn't care much for Gone Girl either.

Yeah, overall I'd say it was a good year for genre films, but not a great one for film in general. Boyhood, and maybe The Raid 2, are the only ones I could see working their way into my all-time favourites.

I'd highly recommend Calvary though. I think you'd really like it.

And I can't wait to see Whiplash. Foxcatcher I'm not so sold on.

I just enjoyed those movies the most from this year, I like what I like if you think it's a kid list then that's your opinion. I know a lot of the movies I listed are very "mainstream" or are hated a lot, but hey it's just what I liked.

That's fair. Michael bay is pretty painful though. But to each his own.
