The Best Films of 2015

Should also mention that Inside Out, Straight Outta Compton, Sicario and The Gift just missed the list and were in my 20-30 section. Thought Inside Out was maybe the best thing Pixar has ever done.

Good to know Fanatic is capable of getting Pixar feels.

Always look forward to your list. Need to hear the bottom five also, always at least one on there I liked.

My top five in no order is It Follows, Phoenix, Ex Machina, Buzzard and Mad Max. Loved Star Wars. What They Do in the Shadows was probably the most disappointing based on what I heard going in/my own expectations. Worst has to be Chappie, borderline unwatchable.

Fanatic, do you have thoughts on my three you didn't mention?

2015 was a pretty damn strong year for film. Had a decent amount of Hollywood fare that was stronger than the usual output, and independent and foreign filmmaking continues to get stronger. Didn't see everything I wanted to, but figured I'd go ahead and put this out here to get some discussion started. What were you guys feeling in 2015?

Yeah, that movie was great.

I thought The Martian and Inside Out were legitimately very good movies. Ant-Man, The Force Awakens, and Avengers: Age of Ultron were the other movies that I saw that I thought were entertaining.
