Best movies of 2014
 

Yes, the unavoidable thread as we come close to the end.

I've decided to split my favorites up in a horror/non-horror list, but you can do whatever the hell you like. Do a list in all categories or just make 1 big list. Heck, you can even choose not to post a list. Or anything. At all.


Now, here I go.

Horror

Haunt
13 Sins
Horns
Jessabelle
Ouija
As Above, So Below
Kristy
The Taking of Deborah Logan
Odd Thomas
Dead Snow 2


Non-Horror

22 Jump Street
Guardians of the Galaxy
Stretch
Exodus: Gods and Kings
Snowpiercer
Joe
Lucy
They Came Together

Really wanna see Foxcatcher and Whiplash, but I doubt it will be this year.


Biggest disappointment(s)

7500
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
Gone Girl



This has been a pretty good horror year, imo. ::smile::


Merry New Year.

Oculus, The Babadook, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, As Above/So Below, and The Lego Movie were my favorites.

Do movies that were released in late 2013 count?
Because some of those weren't available on dvd or vod until 2014.

And we might need a list of all releases because I'm sure I'm not the only one who'll forget some titles otherwise.

Anyway, these come to mind:

-Dead Snow 2
-Asmodexia
-Hangar 10
-Exists
-Wer
-Deliver Us From Evil

-The Raid 2
-The Guardians Of The Galaxy
-The Interview
-Anchorman 2
-The Grand Budapest Hotel
-Let's Be Cops

Tv: Z-Nation and The Strain

I didn't like Let's Be Cops at all, but comedy isn't really my favorite genre either, so I might have some bias against it.

Biggest disappointment (after HDC hype): Godzilla.

I really liked Godzilla. I forgot that one my favorites of the year ::stick out tongue::

Am I the only one that didn't care that Godzilla didn't show up until about an hour in? I like build-up for big monsters like this, especially since Godzilla looked so amazing when we did see it.


And to the OP, you legitimately liked Ouija? That's gotta be one of the worst horror movies I've ever seen.

Just a real quick one of the films I've seen (didn't see a lot of 2014 relatively speaking).

Best 2014 Films:

The Grand Budapest Hotel
X-Men: Days of Future Past



Decent good fun films:

Snowpiercer
Guardians of the Galaxy
Live Die Repeat: Edge of Tomorrow
Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Godzilla

Didn't mind not seeing G till an hour in. Good build up.

I would have killed the son & daughter-in-law, and kept Cranston helping to fight G through the film.

Then I would have had G eat the Motos, & fight much earlier in the film, and then go straight to the nearest nuclear power plant, eat it, fend off the US military, and then go back in the ocean for a nap.

Awesomeness;

Starry Eyes
Late Phases
Pieces of Talent
The Babadook
Housebound
Shock Value
Deliver Us From Evil
Wolf Creek 2
Blue Ruin
The Raid 2
Only Lovers Left Alive
Willow Creek
Exists
The Dark House

Disliked;

Annabelle
7500
Tree House
The Human Race

Seems the most divisive film on the forum was Babadook. Some loved it---I remember Villain giving it 10 out of 10 stars, which he only did for one movie ever before---while posters like Geordie thought it was mediocre at best. I thought it was good but not really cutting edge or innovative. Tusk also comes to mind as a controversial horror film this year.

Why Cranston wasn't the lead character is beyond me... why switch one of the best actors for a pretty mediocre actor?
