Top Ten Films of 2014

2014 was a quiet year at the cinema for me, not only due to the low number of films seen (100), but also the mediocre quality, and extended gaps between decent releases.

But here are my top ten (plus my favourite scene for each).

10. The Wolf of Wall Street (Leonardo tripping out on Quaaludes, crawling to his sports car)

9. The Lego Movie (Emmet forgets his pants)

8. Interstellar (Matthew McConaughey stuck behind a bookcase)

7. X-Men Days of Future Past (Quicksilver mocking a room of guards at supersonic speed)

6. Gone Girl (they resume their domestic bliss, happily ever after)

5. What We Do in the Shadows ("we're werewolves not swearwolves")

4. Pride (miners and gays marching together in London)

3. Guardians of the Galaxy (dancing baby Groot)

2. Broken Circle Breakdown (the music)

1. The Great Beauty (the first party scene)

Honorable mentions go to All is Lost, Her, The Desolation of Smaug, Stories We Tell, The Invisible Woman, and Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.
