Top 5 Films of 2015

I haven't seen Ex Machina, The Revanant, What We Do In The Shadows, Creed, or Interstellar, so it's entirely possible one of those will make the cut, but here's my top 5:

5) Paddington
4) Turbo Kid
3) Ant-Man (this was a surprise)
2) Fury Road
1) Fury Road

(Guess I didn't see that many new flicks this year...couldn't even think of 5 distinct films)

I've only seen two new films this year. I don't really go to the theater that much and even less now that I have two little ones at home.

But I did see Paddington and Ex Machina and they were both great films. I have a hard time imagining enjoying a film more than Ex Machina this year but I guess it's possible. Paddington was just a pleasant surprise. My first teddy bear as a child was a Paddington bear and I had the books too so besides hitting some nice nostalgia notes for me it turned out to be a surprisingly good film on it's own merits too.

It's still too early to tell but I'm in or around this right now...

1. Mad Max: Fury Road
2. Inside Out
3. Amy
4. Room
5. Shaun the Sheep

Star Wars is fighting for that 5th spot... it's still too early for me to know for sure. I doubt either will keep the 5th spot but we'll see...

I don't like ranking them, so this is just a list:
a. Fury Road
b. Ex Machina
c. Spotlight
d. Inside Out
e. SW: Force Awakens

There are still a LOT I need to see, so I expect the last two could be replaced (probably by Carol and Anomalisa).

The Force Awakens and Fury Road were obviously the top picks. But beyond that I'd go with:

What We Do In the Shadows

And then The Force Awakens and Fury Road again.

Interstellar
TFA
MM:FR
Ant Man
Tomorrowland

I saw Automata this year, and I think it was one of the best films I've seen (made Robbie/Herbie or whatever seem sickly and sad in comparison). The Martian was OK. Not exceptional, but a good film.

Tomorrowland was better than The Martian?!

These are my top five movies of 2015 listed in order based on of how many times I've watched them.

Mad Max: Fury Road
Tomorrowland
Jurassic World
San Andreas
Star Wars: The Force Awakens

Obviously Star Wars will move up once it hits video. Age of Ultron will probably overtake San Andreas in the long run.

You should email the people that made that movie to let them know that they made onto at least one best-of list.

Shit, man, I forgot I still need to check that one out. Kind of surprised you like it, though that's also reassuring.
