In grade order; otherwise, not ordered (IOW, Birdman is not sorted higher than Frank in any way other than orthographically)
My top five:
- Boyhood
- Whiplash
- Only Lovers Left Alive
- Calvary
- Under The Skin
Just on the outside, looking in:
- Frank
- John Wick
- Guardians Of The Galaxy
- Ida
- Edge Of Tomorrow
It was, in my opinion, a very, very good year.
