But before we dive into the deep pool of film in 2015, it’s time for me to browbeat you one last time with my opinions about 2014’s cinematic offerings. I can’t imagine that anyone being disappointed in this year’s film slate, and if you were then you either didn’t watch enough movies or you need to lighten the hell up. As far as I was concerned, this year was great from top to bottom. From big blockbusters to stylish arthouse films to indie comedies to boundary-breaking genre fare, 2014 had something for everyone. Even with some big-ticket items missing from my list, I’m still incredibly happy with this collection of films, and any year that produced them (and many other great movies besides) is a year I can be happy with.
