Andrew Evans - Top 10 Films of 2015

fnd mc exmachina

Personally, 2015 has been the best and worst year in film for me. There were the films that I unfortunately missed (Brooklyn, Me and Earl and the Dying Girl, The Diary of a Teenage Girl), and then there were the films that never showed up at my city's footsteps (Turbo Kid, Anomalisa, Room). Luckily, my year was still well-rounded with a great mix of full-blown blockbusters and nearly unseen indies.

There were many fair runners-up, including the intentional B-movie horror-comedy The Final Girls; the near insane, octane driven Mad Max: Fury Road; the nostalgic Star Wars: The Force Awakens; the over-the-top, but intensely inspiring Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation; and the low budget, iPhone shot and common-acted Tangerine.

TOP 10 FILMS OF 2014


In 2014 we saw an avalanche of superheroes, mega robots, reboots, remakes, sequels, and animated films come pouring into theaters alongside new and fresh ideas from some of the best in the biz.  Some charmed us with the likes of the lovable Baymax, others disappointed and made us wish they had left our Turtles alone.  Marvel continued to surprise us with lovable bad guys and a talking tree. We got to see the creepy side of Jake Gyllenhaal, and all the bad sides of Angelina Jolie (did I just hear a rhyme?).  Sony continued to disappoint with another Spider-man and, oh you know, almost sending us to war over The Interview.  But in the end my favorites were safe from Kim Jong-un and were pretty easy to pick. As always I base my picks on “watchability” - if I can watch it over and over, I must have loved it.  So here are my picks for the best movies of 2014, movies I’ll surely watch time and time again.
