The Very Best and Worst of 2014

My Favorite Films of 2014

Every year is a good year for cinema... if you're prepared to look high and low for the best.

For me, cinema inspires adventure (physically and mentally), and provides a myriad of surprises, joys, and disappointments.

Some of these were seen at the theater, and some were seen for the first time on DVD, BluRay, or VOD.

A feature is a feature whether it is experienced with the public or at home.

The list is alphabetical:

Avant L'Hiver (France)

Black Coal, Thin Ice (China) 


Blue Ruin (US)


Calvary (UK)


Citizenfour (US)


Corn Island (Georgia)


The Life and Mind of Mark DeFriest (US)


Goodnight Mommy (Austria)


Tales of the Grim Sleeper (US)


Ida (Polish)


Jodorowsky's Dune (USA/France)


The Bastards (France)


Leviathan (Russia)


Lost Soul (US) 


Moebius (South Korea)


Nightcrawler (US)


Only Lovers Left Alive (US)


Pieces of Talent (US)


The Strange Color of Your Body's Tears (France))


The Drop (US)


The Immigrant (France)


The Overnighters (US)
