spinz186 There Will Be Blood and No Country for Old Men are probably better than 2014's top 2 and are two of my favorite movies ever, so I completely agree. I'm a big fan of Zodiac and Hot Fuzz as well. I guess I didn't include 2007 because while it has two undeniable modern classics, I feel like its a more top-heavy year. Definitely a year I'd expect many to cite though. Arguably a better year overall.
Dennis H I think people are judging it not just by quality but also quantity, bc yes 2007 has a few greats but has a lot of downers in it too, 2014 did have stinkers, every year does, just that not as much as other years
2014 is the best year for film since 1999. Here's everything that came out: Interstellar Nightcrawler Whiplash Gone Girl Dawn of the Planet of the Apes The Grand Budapest Hotel Snowpiercer Edge of Tomorrow Birdman X-Men: Days of Future Past The Imitation Game Guardians of the Galaxy John Wick The Lego Movie How to Train Your Dragon 2 CA: The Winter Soldier Big Hero 6 The Babadook The Raid 2 Fury The Theory of Everything 22 Jump Street
Don't listen to that fuck. They're totally different types of movies. Even tho they are both in space. Dumbasses can't make the distinction. I totally agree with you.
+Justin Hopkins Yeah I left the theater very conflicted the first time I saw it. But just like Chris, the more I re-watched it the more I fell in love with it. One of my favorite movies of all time.

Interstellar on IMAX screen was so awesome. I saw it twice in theatres and the IMAX was worth the extra few bucks to see. Honestly it was just gorgeous and I didn't have to wear a silly pair of glasses to enhance a few scenes, it was ALL gorgeous.
I agree as well. I have a fondness for all of Wes Anderson's films, actually. While I thoroughly enjoyed TGBH all the way through, I personally don't think it stands up to some of this previous works--The Life Aquatic for instance. Have you watched any of his other films, and if so, do you have a favorite?
+Glitter Geek I loved Interstellar and I hate the people who just complain about the ending being flawed because I don't think they understood it. It's not my favorite Nolan movie but it's so good!

ajhani deacon foxcatcher isnt showing in any theaters around me bur i want to see it because i am a wrestler and i know about the story of the shultz brothers
goleafs81 im not attacking you, but could you explain why you thought Spiderman 2 was even worth an honourable mention. in my opinion, that movie was dog shit.
I didn't like Interstellar. I understand why people like it, but i thought the story arc was predictable and the ending too convenient. The first 2 hours were great, and I liked the chemistry between The little girl and Mathew Mcconaughey. I liked Matt Damon and the conflict he brings in the movie. I think Nolan was trying to go for this really intellectual movie but to me it fell flat. The ending seemed like he had a lot of endings in mind, and instead of just choosing one he tried to combine them all into one.
I agree, I was so invested in the movie for the first half of it, but the second half just lost me completely, it just felt like the movie lost some of its heart.
That was the other thing I didn't like. And I did understand the movie as a whole, I just thought SPOILER that Nolan went out of his way to make the ending happy. To me an ending should flow and in when Nolan does something like this in his other movies it works. But In this one it just felt like he did everything in his power so that all characters ended up happy.
I did understand the science of it, and I agree that it is more intellectual than a lot of the movies now a days (infinitely more than that god awful Ouija) but it looked like he was going for something more. It is more intellectual than most movie though. My main problem with this movie was the ending though.

One thing I will always praise Edge of Tomorrow for is being the first manga adaption done right. Sure they changed some things but the central focus that was in the manga was still there and even if the main characters weren't teens I still got a kick out of seeing the main character go from this coward to a pretty big badass, and the humor was really funny as well.
I've been checking lists and 2014 is the best movie year in the las ones My top 10 1-The Nightcrawler 2-Intersteller 3-Whiplash 4-Guardians of The Galaxy 5-22 Jump Street 6-Edge Of Tomorrow 7-The Imitation Game 8-Kingsmen : The Secret Circle 9-Xmen: The Days Of Future Past 10-The Grand Budapest Hotel I didn't see Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes
You know what? I'm happy with this list. I'm happy that you put Interstellar up at #6, even if it is a #1 for me. But then again, i havent seen Birdman, Whiplash, The Babadook or Nightcrawler so what the fuck do I know hahaha. I really need to watch those films. You've supported them convincingly and I related a lot to what you said about Interstellar. It got better with each viewing and I still want to see it again. Sure, it's got problems but everyone's got problems, it's about whether the problems are worth acknowledging or not. Interstellar had problems. Did it take away from my experience? No, not one bit. Brilliant film. Good list Chris.
I think we can all agree the top 10 movies of all times are: 1. Death race 3 2. Fast and furious 6 3. Avengers 4. ghost Rider 2 5. Die hard 5 6. TMNT 7. Divergent 8. MAMA 9. Transformers 3 10. Hunger Games 1
In regards to Ida; you mine as well give up on Stuckman having any non-English films in his top of the year lists. (I have a long time ago) That'll never happen, its like he's deathly afraid of them no matter how good they are.
If your going to make a subjective list of the best films of 2014 put in the effort in going your way to see the all films that 2014 has to offer that have receive critically acclaimed before making a list rather then just jumping the News Year bandwagon to gain more viewers.
20. The Raid 2 19. Foxcatcher 18. How To Train Your Dragon 2 17. Captain America: The Winter Soldier 16. The Zero Theorem 15. Honeymoon 14. Gone Girl 13. Starred Up 12. Horns 11. The Sacrament 10.

My Top 10 Movies of 2014 that I've seen from 10-1 IMO would be: 10. Big Hero 6 9. Gone Girl 8. Guardians of the Galaxy 7. Birdman 6. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes 5. Whiplash 4. Boyhood 3. Interstellar 2. Edge of Tomorrow 1. The Imitation Game Honorable Mentions in no particular order: Foxcatcher, The Lego Movie, How to Train Your Dragon 2, X-Men: Days of Future Past, The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, The Hunger Games: MockingJay Part 1, Captain America: Winter Solider, John Wick, 22 Jump Street, and Snowpiercer
1. Interstellar( This film is polarizing but I understand certain sacrifices a filmmaker has to make in terms of pace and runtime) I was sitting in the Imax and I swear this film is a 100 percent roller coaster ride. 2. Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes. (Excellent cinematography)(Andy Serkis) 3. Nightcrawler (This is one of the dramas of the year and Jake Gyllenhaal atleast deserves a nomination or a Golden Globe) 4. Snowpiercer (A tense moral story and Chris Evans best performance) (Love the gritty tone of the book) 5. X-men Days Of Future Of Past (Shed a tear by the end of this film and very well pace) (waiting for the director's cut) 6. Edge Of Tomorrow ( Year after year Tom Cruise delivers films and I keep enjoying, yes even Oblivion and Jack Reacher, I cant wait for Mission Impossible 5. 7. Gone Girl (Another director that never disappoints on well made dramas) (Rosamund Pike was excellent give this woman a nomination. 8. Captain America The Winter Soldier (No stupid jokes)(A action pack film with a cool moral character) 9. Exodus Gods and Kings( I love Christian Bale and Ridley Scott, sure the film doesn't follow the story hundred percent but I was very engaged by this take of this classic story) 10. The Lego Movie (Who doesn't love Legos haha) The town where I live doesn't have small independent cinemas so I cant watch Whiplash, Birdman and other limited releases. Honorable mentions: The Babadook, The Hobbit The Battle Of Five Armies, Boyhood, Locke, Enemy, Under The Skin, The Grand Budapest Hotel, John Wick.
Whiplash was really the best film watching experience I ever had in theater. I was shaking the whole way through because it's freaking intense I feel claustophobic. Even though the theater wasn't full, but in that final scene, the whole audience applauded. It was just so great to experience that and it reminded me why watching movies in theater is important.
nice list, chris. i'm still waiting to do mine until i see a few more like INHERENT VICE, MOMMY and MR. TURNER, just in case. every so often a surprise one sneaks into my list at the last second. if you get the chance to check out those ones we spoke about on the podcast we did together (CITIZENFOUR, WHY DON'T YOU PLAY IN HELL, FORCE MAJUERE), do so. all are fantastic.
Same here. A lot of films i still need to watch, mainly Birdman, Whiplash, Inherent Vice, American Sniper and Foxcatcher. At the moment i've got Gone Girl topping the list.
Mommy is great! Still haven't got the chance to watch films like Birdman, The Imitation Game, Whiplash, Foxcatcher, Inherent Vice, Selma & Top Five though, cause they have yet to be released in my home country Austria, which is the reason why my 2014 list won't be done until april.

Idk guess I didn't hate it but I gave it 4/10 so below average. But my grips would manly be the ending and the fact there was no subtlety everything was explained in full detail like goddamn were not stupid we can put two and two together! It just felt like cheap 2001 ASO wanna be
It’s 2022 and I’m going back watching these lists..holy hell 2014 was a monster. I look back and love all of these films and couldn’t believe they were allll in one film year.

my top 5 this year would be 5: Guardians of the Galaxy 4: Birdman 3: The Imitation Game 2: How to Train Your Dragon 2 (because I'm a sucker for good animation and it's the best CGI animated movie that's been released this century in my opinion) 1: The Babadook took the cake for me, I saw it months ago and I still think about it, it really resonated with me as I've also dealt with loss, panic anxiety, and depression and I love how The Babadook itself is just this wonderful metaphor for the monster inside.
Babadook is my number one too! I've only seen it once but it hasn't left me since. It mainly resonated with me as a parent. I even ordered the actual book from their web page! I doubt I'll read it to my kid though... Babadook = A bad book

This is why I love watching your videos. You're so genuinely passionate and excited about film, plus love a variety of different movies, which is such a stark contrast from most UA-cam reviewers. (also, I had seen every single one of these movies except The Imitation Game, Under the Skin, and The Tale of the Princess Kaguya before I even watched this video, and agree with you on every single choice)
My Favourite 2014 Movies (not in order, will extend later) Guardians Of The Galaxy Captain America: The Winter Soldier Interstellar Gone Girl The Babadook John Wick X Men: Days Of Future Past Edge Of Tomorrow Enemy Godzilla The Raid 2 Boyhood Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes Whiplash The Maze Runner Transformers: Age Of Extinction (Dumb fun, okay?) Exodus: Gods and Kings The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies
Chris Stuckmann is probably the kindest towards Interstellar among all critics. He did say there were flaws in the movie (I would disagree. There are some logistical problems, but overall I find the movie pretty coherent), but accepted that he watched the movies in theaters more than once. He watched the movie more than once. In theaters. And I know multiple people who have done that. That is an under-reported fact about the movie. And honestly, that needs to come up more. Over the past one year, I have noticed how Interstellar isn't really all that appreciated by people - as much as they appreciate other Nolan features like TDK or Inception. I still haven't really understood why. Interestingly, I found Interstellar to be much more fascinating than Inception.
I had interstellar as number 1 on my list if you wanna check out my channel (my top ten of 2014 video is really bad but the list itself I still adhere to. I was just starting out trust me I'm way better now) I hate Interstellar's ending. I can't stand it. It was very underwhelming, very silly and ridiculous, and full of exposition and ruined all the good build up with a really sappy resolution. HOWEVER The rest of the movie is a masterpiece of visuals and sound, Hans Zimmer is a God, the mountains scene was pure intensity and breadth, and of course the docking scene song was catchy as hell. The effects are flawless, and the awe of entering the unknown power and vastness of space (cheesy line I know, but really) was perfectly manifested on screen. You know when the music begins to swell when they first enter the wormhole? And when McConnaughey enters the black hole? also that scene where his kids grow up with Day One playing is amazing. Not as clean or well-crafted a movie as inception, but still, well done Mr. Nolan.
dude i watched snowpiercer on netflix with low expectations a couple months ago and when i finished it i felt heartbroken because i really cared about the character since they were written well and you had this vibe that anyone could die at any point and i found myself recommending it to other people... i was anticipating for you to have snowpiercer at 15 or 20 but i was shocked and happy that you put it way higher
My top 5 #1: Interstellar #2: Whiplash #3: Captain America: The Winter Soldier #4: The Babadook #5: Edge of Tomorrow Interstellar imo, is a fucking masterpiece
I started getting into movies around 2014, and although I knew it was a great year for film at the time, looking back now makes me realize how truly exceptional it really was.
My picks: 10. The Tale of the Princess Kaguya 9. The Imitation Game/John Wick (I can't choose!) 8. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes 7. Captain America: The Winter Soldier 6. Edge of Tomorrow 5. How to Train Your Dragon 2 4. X-Men: Days of Future Past 3. Birdman 2. Gone Girl 1. Whiplash
Really surprised with The Raid 2 only being an honorable mention, that's probably my favorite movie of the entire year, I actually loved the story and thought it was great.
Enemy is the most confusing movie you have ever seen in your life?!?!?!?!?! Chris, let me recommend some movies: Inland Empire, Eraserhead, Mulholland Dr, Martyrs, Antichrist, Enter The Void, PRIMER! Now these are confusing shit
When you say Martyrs, do you mean that movie about that secret society that tortures women, because if so, it wasn't really that confusing. Sure it had a weird ending, but I don't think it was meant some kind of deep metaphor or anything. I think what they we're trying to say is that we'll never truly know what comes next until we die. Also, that was a fucked up movie. Good, but fucked up.

+corey lanouette I wasn't as blown away by Interstellar as everybody else. Matthew McConaughey, the visuals, and especially the score were all fantastic, but the rest of the movie failed to please.
Max Burke Apes AWESOME, but humans just meh. James Franco had a way better relationship with the apes and it was interesting. This group of people just where there walking around.
I'm so so glad to see The Guest in this list! I went to see this film with one of my friends and we were some of the only people in the theatre, really disappointing it didn't do better, but was still a great film.

Havent seen Fury on a lot of lists. I really enjoyed it and i think its underrated. The acting was great, there were characters you felt for, and it had some really tense moments which makes for an entertaining movie. Only reason i probably wouldnt put it in my top 10 is because of the ending. I dont want to ruin it for those who havent seen it but it just felt stupid to me, whereas the rest of the film felt real.
HomicidalBabies I too felt like the characters and the situation as a realistic and horrific look on war and though a lot of people found the characters were bad and terrible, I viewed it as the type of people that were molded and changed to be like that through the horrors of war and found it a refreshing war movie. Fury is now one of my favorite war movies among Saving Private Ryan, Black Hawk Down, and a few other classics I can't name off the top of my head at the moment. However, I personally liked the ending and felt that even in war, people might discover some kindness among the enemy soldiers. I also found it a little hopeful that maybe some people can come out of such horrifying experiences still a good man. But that's just my take on the ending.
i love how you kinda changed your opinion on interstellar. I wasn't that impressed the first time I saw it but every time since its gotten better. Wish they would rerelease it in imax one of these days, its beautiful and emotional, even if it is far fetched.

Mi inglés apesta así que voy a escribir en español. Si bien llegué a tu canal este año por tu review The Last of Us, desde entonces he estado suscrita. La pasión que entregas en cada una de tus criticas es alucinante y tal como lo mencionaste en tu vídeo gracias a ti he podido conocer películas que jamás hubiera visto, gracias.
"My english sucks, so i'm gonna write in spanish. Even though i found your channel this year because of the Last Of Us review i've been suscribed ever since. The passion that you deliver with each and every one of your critics it's outstanding, and just like you've mentioned in your video thanks to you i have been able to discover movies i i would have never watched, thank you." Eso seria en ingles, :D
Yo tambien soy un fan español y creia que era el unico, me parece muy infravalorado y sin duda uno de los mejores criticos/analistas de Peliculas que he encontrado en UA-cam. "I am also a spanish fan and i thought i was the only one, i think he's very underrated and without a doubt one of the best movie critics/analysts i've ever found on UA-cam."
Is it me or did anyone else find Chris's transitions between movies distracting? I don't know if it threw me off since he never did those kind of transitions before & even though they only lasted a few seconds, for some reason I just didn't like them. Am I the only one that sort of feels this way? probably LOL!
Am I the only one that thinks edge of tomorrow is overrated?! I felt that the story was good at first, and the montage of Tom cruises training was phenomenal, but then when the whole omega thing came in it made the movie too top-heavy for me, and got confusing. I thought it was good, but NOT worthy of being in the top 10

Boyhood is my #1 favorite of the year, it doesn't seem like a perfectly made film but it is basically life and every time someone might cringe, they're cringing at themselves. It doesn't push anything - it just is. We watch Mason grow up and develop into his own person, and the scene where he goes off to college is really powerful for no noticeable reason. After that is Interstellar, Whiplash and The Theory of Everything(personally loved it). I only watch like ten movies each year, and I am usually good at picking movies that are interesting to me while also being good movies.
+Abel Sebastian The movie was perfect in it's plot, it's humor, and it's action! James Gunn was amazing at directing this movie!!!!!! The villain was the biggest downfall in the movie, but that is because of his backstory not being fleshed out. I love this movie!!!!!!!
2014 was such a good year for movies
+farfangled It certainly was.
yeah 2015 was meh compared to 2014
+Mister White But hey, 2015 did give us Mad Max: Fury Road
+Thaumablazer mad max was shit and utter garbage
WhiteForest Gaming No it wasn't
2014 was a ridiculously good year. Seriously, nothing compares to it since 1999.
Dennis H 2007 had some all time greats
spinz186 There Will Be Blood and No Country for Old Men are probably better than 2014's top 2 and are two of my favorite movies ever, so I completely agree. I'm a big fan of Zodiac and Hot Fuzz as well. I guess I didn't include 2007 because while it has two undeniable modern classics, I feel like its a more top-heavy year.
Definitely a year I'd expect many to cite though. Arguably a better year overall.
2011??
@HHF Electronic It's the best of the 2010s and maybe even the 2000s
Dennis H I think people are judging it not just by quality but also quantity, bc yes 2007 has a few greats but has a lot of downers in it too, 2014 did have stinkers, every year does, just that not as much as other years
2014 is the best year for film since 1999. Here's everything that came out:
Interstellar
Nightcrawler
Whiplash
Gone Girl
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
The Grand Budapest Hotel
Snowpiercer
Edge of Tomorrow
Birdman
X-Men: Days of Future Past
The Imitation Game
Guardians of the Galaxy
John Wick
The Lego Movie
How to Train Your Dragon 2
CA: The Winter Soldier
Big Hero 6
The Babadook
The Raid 2
Fury
The Theory of Everything
22 Jump Street
Godzilla
Not to mention foreign language films leviathan, wild tales etc
Interstellar is a film that will gain more acclaim as the years go on.
Until the Martian appeared
+Max Roca lol u never lied. martian was great
Don't listen to that fuck. They're totally different types of movies. Even tho they are both in space. Dumbasses can't make the distinction. I totally agree with you.
+Justin Hopkins Yeah I left the theater very conflicted the first time I saw it. But just like Chris, the more I re-watched it the more I fell in love with it. One of my favorite movies of all time.
I have watched interstellar like 40 times and snow piercer 50 times

I haven't seen a couple of these, but generally great list. Good to see someone liked Edge of Tomorrow as much as I did.
Everything Best Top 10 Lol, he actually just wrote what Chris Stuckmann listed. He probably did JeremyJahns'
+Pokey Bear nope,none except captain america and maybe nightcrawler
Pokey Bear d
Interstellar on IMAX screen was so awesome. I saw it twice in theatres and the IMAX was worth the extra few bucks to see. Honestly it was just gorgeous and I didn't have to wear a silly pair of glasses to enhance a few scenes, it was ALL gorgeous.
Brandon P I never got the opportunity to see it in IMAX. I need to see if there's still some way I can make that happen.
i thought 'The Grand Budapest Hotel' would have been much higher on the list
I agree as well. I have a fondness for all of Wes Anderson's films, actually. While I thoroughly enjoyed TGBH all the way through, I personally don't think it stands up to some of this previous works--The Life Aquatic for instance. Have you watched any of his other films, and if so, do you have a favorite?
Alabaster overated pretentious garbage
lucas cockslobber What are you referring to exactly?
Grand Budapest hotel, and pretty much every Wes Anderson film
lucas cockslobber Sorry that you feel that way.
Interstellar is my favorite movie ever. Saw it in theaters 5 times, so I understand needing to go back over and over.
Interstellar is underated even if it was #5 on IMDB its still under-rated.
+vafa bahamin nah it's overrated.
+Armin Basic Blasphemy!
What the problems of the movie?
+Glitter Geek I loved Interstellar and I hate the people who just complain about the ending being flawed because I don't think they understood it. It's not my favorite Nolan movie but it's so good!
Thank you for introducing me to Whiplash, Chris! It was an extraordinary motion picture which made me want to play drums.

I agree. I can't get into that jump cut guy jeremyjahns. I also like schmoe knows, your movie sucks and what the flick channels
Robert Jones Beyond The Trailer is great as well.

I love jeremyjahns, he is probably the best movie reviewer in my opinion, he is also fucking hilarious .
She's an awful reviewer.
“Directed by a Korean man.” Ah yes, *just* a Korean man

AMAZING SPIDERMAN 2?!?!?!?
***** Yea yea, I know that most people hated it... But I honestly liked it enough to at least give it an honourable mention. Relax.
goleafs81 im not attacking you, but could you explain why you thought Spiderman 2 was even worth an honourable mention. in my opinion, that movie was dog shit.
When you hear Chris say he just hit 200,000 subscribers, then look at his channel now and see 750,000...

You didn’t say anything about the soundtrack of interstellar. The soundtrack is the best
I didn't like Interstellar. I understand why people like it, but i thought the story arc was predictable and the ending too convenient. The first 2 hours were great, and I liked the chemistry between The little girl and Mathew Mcconaughey. I liked Matt Damon and the conflict he brings in the movie. I think Nolan was trying to go for this really intellectual movie but to me it fell flat. The ending seemed like he had a lot of endings in mind, and instead of just choosing one he tried to combine them all into one.
I agree, I was so invested in the movie for the first half of it, but the second half just lost me completely, it just felt like the movie lost some of its heart.
I agree^
Sonny it sounded like you didn't like it because you didn't get it lol
I didn't like some of it because of the massive amount of scientific flaws
That was the other thing I didn't like. And I did understand the movie as a whole, I just thought SPOILER that Nolan went out of his way to make the ending happy. To me an ending should flow and in when Nolan does something like this in his other movies it works. But In this one it just felt like he did everything in his power so that all characters ended up happy.
I did understand the science of it, and I agree that it is more intellectual than a lot of the movies now a days (infinitely more than that god awful Ouija) but it looked like he was going for something more. It is more intellectual than most movie though. My main problem with this movie was the ending though.

Baabaaa-doook-doooook-DOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAK!
***** what?
interstellar is my favorite movie of the last decade, possibly of all time
Exactly!
it was so absolutely fascinating.
Interstellar, for me, is the only modern Sci-Fi movie that came close to the quality and grandeur of "2001: A Space Odyssey". I've watched it probably 20 times and I still enjoy it.
That's hilarious

You're welcome.
One thing I will always praise Edge of Tomorrow for is being the first manga adaption done right. Sure they changed some things but the central focus that was in the manga was still there and even if the main characters weren't teens I still got a kick out of seeing the main character go from this coward to a pretty big badass, and the humor was really funny as well.
I've been checking lists and 2014 is the best movie year in the las ones
My top 10
1-The Nightcrawler
2-Intersteller
3-Whiplash
4-Guardians of The Galaxy
5-22 Jump Street
6-Edge Of Tomorrow
7-The Imitation Game
8-Kingsmen : The Secret Circle
9-Xmen: The Days Of Future Past
10-The Grand Budapest Hotel
I didn't see Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes
I really enjoyed Birdaman but I liked Whiplash, NightCrawler, and most other movies on this list more. Birdman was better than Boyhood though.
You know what? I'm happy with this list. I'm happy that you put Interstellar up at #6, even if it is a #1 for me. But then again, i havent seen Birdman, Whiplash, The Babadook or Nightcrawler so what the fuck do I know hahaha. I really need to watch those films. You've supported them convincingly and I related a lot to what you said about Interstellar. It got better with each viewing and I still want to see it again. Sure, it's got problems but everyone's got problems, it's about whether the problems are worth acknowledging or not. Interstellar had problems. Did it take away from my experience? No, not one bit. Brilliant film.
Good list Chris.
Nightcrawler is great, I haven't seen Whiplash or Birdman. And completely agree with your opinion on Interstellar.
Whiplash was a truly incredible film I loved it.
Going to see Birdman tomorrow.
Please watch Whiplash and Nightcrawler. AMAZING FILMS!!!!
Michael Voorhees same here, really need to see whiplash and birdman but I don't think they're in UK cinemas yet
***** cough **torrent** cough
I wish I didn't hate anime
+Sean “Diddy” Combs Ghibli is undeniably creative, though.
+Sean “Diddy” Combs don't like anime.so let's get out of here
Never been big on anime series myself.
+Sean “Diddy” Combs, Try Steins;Gate. It's the second most liked anime in the world.
It's about time travel and the consequences of it.
+Vady "It's the second most liked anime in the world." So, uh, where did you get this from?
I think we can all agree the top 10 movies of all times are:
1. Death race 3
2. Fast and furious 6
3. Avengers
4. ghost Rider 2
5. Die hard 5
6. TMNT
7. Divergent
8. MAMA
9. Transformers 3
10. Hunger Games 1
Wow idk you but this a great list
Omg you are extremely intelligent!
Please make a top 25
Thank you! I will for sure!!
Couldn't have said it better mayself!
what if I tell you Fast 6 and The Avengers are good movies
How can you make a list of the Best Films of 2014 without including...
1. Inherent Vice
2, Ida
3. Joe
In regards to Ida; you mine as well give up on Stuckman having any non-English films in his top of the year lists. (I have a long time ago) That'll never happen, its like he's deathly afraid of them no matter how good they are.
His list, not yours. Deal with it
ida was fantastic but i do not think he saw it
If your going to make a subjective list of the best films of 2014 put in the effort in going your way to see the all films that 2014 has to offer that have receive critically acclaimed before making a list rather then just jumping the News Year bandwagon to gain more viewers.
***** Ida was release in 2014 over in United States.

Finally someone who put imitation game at #I thought that movie that was breathtaking
1. Interstellar( This film is polarizing but I understand certain sacrifices a filmmaker has to make in terms of pace and runtime) I was sitting in the Imax and I swear this film is a 100 percent roller coaster ride.
2. Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes. (Excellent cinematography)(Andy Serkis)
3. Nightcrawler (This is one of the dramas of the year and Jake Gyllenhaal atleast deserves a nomination or a Golden Globe)
4. Snowpiercer (A tense moral story and Chris Evans best performance) (Love the gritty tone of the book)
5. X-men Days Of Future Of Past (Shed a tear by the end of this film and very well pace) (waiting for the director's cut)
6. Edge Of Tomorrow ( Year after year Tom Cruise delivers films and I keep enjoying, yes even Oblivion and Jack Reacher, I cant wait for Mission Impossible 5.
7. Gone Girl (Another director that never disappoints on well made dramas) (Rosamund Pike was excellent give this woman a nomination.
8. Captain America The Winter Soldier (No stupid jokes)(A action pack film with a cool moral character)
9. Exodus Gods and Kings( I love Christian Bale and Ridley Scott, sure the film doesn't follow the story hundred percent but I was very engaged by this take of this classic story)
10. The Lego Movie (Who doesn't love Legos haha)
The town where I live doesn't have small independent cinemas so I cant watch Whiplash, Birdman and other limited releases.
Honorable mentions: The Babadook, The Hobbit The Battle Of Five Armies, Boyhood, Locke, Enemy, Under The Skin, The Grand Budapest Hotel, John Wick.
Jake gyllenhaal got nominated : )
Alex Guy For Golden Globes, SAGs and Critics' Choice, yes. Oscar nominations, though, don't come out for another two weeks.
I do like his chances though
Interstellar was fucking amazing
Whiplash was really the best film watching experience I ever had in theater. I was shaking the whole way through because it's freaking intense I feel claustophobic. Even though the theater wasn't full, but in that final scene, the whole audience applauded. It was just so great to experience that and it reminded me why watching movies in theater is important.
nice list, chris. i'm still waiting to do mine until i see a few more like INHERENT VICE, MOMMY and MR. TURNER, just in case. every so often a surprise one sneaks into my list at the last second.
if you get the chance to check out those ones we spoke about on the podcast we did together (CITIZENFOUR, WHY DON'T YOU PLAY IN HELL, FORCE MAJUERE), do so. all are fantastic.
Same here. A lot of films i still need to watch, mainly Birdman, Whiplash, Inherent Vice, American Sniper and Foxcatcher. At the moment i've got Gone Girl topping the list.
Mommy is great! Still haven't got the chance to watch films like Birdman, The Imitation Game, Whiplash, Foxcatcher, Inherent Vice, Selma & Top Five though, cause they have yet to be released in my home country Austria, which is the reason why my 2014 list won't be done until april.
Lance A Your in for a real treat with Birman! It's one of those movies you don't come across very often.
Brian A That's what i'm hoping for. I'm betting on this or Whiplash topping my list. Unfortunately, both haven't been released here in the UK yet.
Loved the podcast guys!
I'm a straight male and I'm proud to say... Your eyes are a beautiful shade of blue.
Zombie At Work HD I agree
TF??
Are you sure?
Great list Chris. Really looking forward to your best of 2015 list!
It ain't gonna happen
+Dr. strange nope it happened
John Wick was such a satisfactory movie. It was awesome to see Keanu Reeves back in a good role, I love that guy.
"The Grand Budapest Hotel" is the best film of the year, and one of my favorites of all time.

I kinda hated that film tbh
Idk guess I didn't hate it but I gave it 4/10 so below average. But my grips would manly be the ending and the fact there was no subtlety everything was explained in full detail like goddamn were not stupid we can put two and two together! It just felt like cheap 2001 ASO wanna be

my top 5 this year would be

4: Birdman
3: The Imitation Game
2: How to Train Your Dragon 2 (because I'm a sucker for good animation and it's the best CGI animated movie that's been released this century in my opinion)
1: The Babadook took the cake for me, I saw it months ago and I still think about it, it really resonated with me as I've also dealt with loss, panic anxiety, and depression and I love how The Babadook itself is just this wonderful metaphor for the monster inside.
Great list I loved all those movies ps
Babadook is my number one too! I've only seen it once but it hasn't left me since. It mainly resonated with me as a parent. I even ordered the actual book from their web page! I doubt I'll read it to my kid though...
Babadook = A bad book

The Babadook, Frank, The Grand Budapest Hotel? You sir, know your movies.
***** Eh, Edge of Tomorrow was okay, I guess. It'd be in my honorable mentions somewhere, after Foxcatcher and Interstellar.
This is why I love watching your videos. You're so genuinely passionate and excited about film, plus love a variety of different movies, which is such a stark contrast from most UA-cam reviewers.
(also, I had seen every single one of these movies except The Imitation Game, Under the Skin, and The Tale of the Princess Kaguya before I even watched this video, and agree with you on every single choice)
My Favourite 2014 Movies (not in order, will extend later)

The Grand Budapest Hotel should be wayyyyy higher.
Chris Stuckmann is probably the kindest towards Interstellar among all critics. He did say there were flaws in the movie (I would disagree. There are some logistical problems, but overall I find the movie pretty coherent), but accepted that he watched the movies in theaters more than once.
He watched the movie more than once. In theaters. And I know multiple people who have done that. That is an under-reported fact about the movie. And honestly, that needs to come up more.
Over the past one year, I have noticed how Interstellar isn't really all that appreciated by people - as much as they appreciate other Nolan features like TDK or Inception. I still haven't really understood why. Interestingly, I found Interstellar to be much more fascinating than Inception.
Inception was way more fascinating to me but I still loved interstellar but I don't get the hate for it
I had interstellar as number 1 on my list if you wanna check out my channel (my top ten of 2014 video is really bad but the list itself I still adhere to. I was just starting out trust me I'm way better now)
I hate Interstellar's ending. I can't stand it. It was very underwhelming, very silly and ridiculous, and full of exposition and ruined all the good build up with a really sappy resolution.
HOWEVER
The rest of the movie is a masterpiece of visuals and sound, Hans Zimmer is a God, the mountains scene was pure intensity and breadth, and of course the docking scene song was catchy as hell. The effects are flawless, and the awe of entering the unknown power and vastness of space (cheesy line I know, but really) was perfectly manifested on screen. You know when the music begins to swell when they first enter the wormhole? And when McConnaughey enters the black hole?
also that scene where his kids grow up with Day One playing is amazing.
Not as clean or well-crafted a movie as inception, but still, well done Mr. Nolan.
+Dharav Solanki Interstellar was awesome but I don't think its better than Inception...
No Godzilla 2014? Not even an Honorable mention?
it was awful
Your opinion Watch Chris' review for the film.
Phinx CSGO Chris gave it an A-, so he didn't think it was awful.
Phinx CSGO its so weird....a lot of people thought it was fantastic but then a lot of other people thought it sucked
Joshcoshbagosh It had Heisenberg in it so they got that going for them which is nice.
Interstellar is my favorite movie
Even though I’m a marvel “nerd”
dude i watched snowpiercer on netflix with low expectations a couple months ago and when i finished it i felt heartbroken because i really cared about the character since they were written well and you had this vibe that anyone could die at any point and i found myself recommending it to other people... i was anticipating for you to have snowpiercer at 15 or 20 but i was shocked and happy that you put it way higher
“A Most Violent Year” is an extremely underrated film! I was very sad that it wasn’t on this list.
My top 5
#1: Interstellar
#2: Whiplash
#3: Captain America: The Winter Soldier
#4: The Babadook
#5: Edge of Tomorrow
Interstellar imo, is a fucking masterpiece
I started getting into movies around 2014, and although I knew it was a great year for film at the time, looking back now makes me realize how truly exceptional it really was.
My picks:
10. The Tale of the Princess Kaguya
9. The Imitation Game/John Wick (I can't choose!)
8. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
7. Captain America: The Winter Soldier
6. Edge of Tomorrow
5. How to Train Your Dragon 2
4. X-Men: Days of Future Past
3. Birdman
2. Gone Girl
1. Whiplash

+DangerSilent Dude, I am seeing you in every comment that doesn't mention Interstellar in people's *personal* list. It's called having an opinion.
+Just some random guy on the internet. Exactly I never thought comments on fucking UA-cam would piss me off
5- The Babadook
4- Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
3- Birdman
2- The Imitation Game
1- Gone Girl
Top 5 2014 movies... in 2017. Yay.
Really surprised with The Raid 2 only being an honorable mention, that's probably my favorite movie of the entire year, I actually loved the story and thought it was great.
I got goosebumps as soon as he mentioned whiplash because it was that good
My name is chef
Lol 😆 🤣
Enemy is the most confusing movie you have ever seen in your life?!?!?!?!?! Chris, let me recommend some movies: Inland Empire, Eraserhead, Mulholland Dr, Martyrs, Antichrist, Enter The Void, PRIMER!
Now these are confusing shit
And Enemy will be part of this list.
Andrei Tarkovsky? You are still alive? Why don't make movies anymore? And Stalker is the shit.
Martyrs isnt that confusing
When you say Martyrs, do you mean that movie about that secret society that tortures women, because if so, it wasn't really that confusing. Sure it had a weird ending, but I don't think it was meant some kind of deep metaphor or anything. I think what they we're trying to say is that we'll never truly know what comes next until we die. Also, that was a fucked up movie. Good, but fucked up.
What about Visitor Q, Strange Circus, Solaris(1972), The Holy Mountain, Begotten?
My ranking 2014:
10. Hobbit the battle of five armies
9. Edge of tommorow

+corey lanouette I wasn't as blown away by Interstellar as everybody else. Matthew McConaughey, the visuals, and especially the score were all fantastic, but the rest of the movie failed to please.
+AchtungFreud touché
+corey lanouette, true
+AchtungFreud Mockingjay is fucking dogshit
I love your Jeff Goldblum impression. Spot on
"Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" was really bad acted. All actors where just....there. It was a nice Action film,but the first one was waaay better.
Nothing you just said is true...
Max Burke
Apes AWESOME, but humans just meh. James Franco had a way better relationship with the apes and it was interesting. This group of people just where there walking around.
Andi X Did you fall sleep when Gary Oldman appeared on screen??
***** When he charged his iPad...
Patdan 10 uuuuuuh really loved that scene!
I'm so so glad to see The Guest in this list! I went to see this film with one of my friends and we were some of the only people in the theatre, really disappointing it didn't do better, but was still a great film.

Havent seen Fury on a lot of lists. I really enjoyed it and i think its underrated. The acting was great, there were characters you felt for, and it had some really tense moments which makes for an entertaining movie. Only reason i probably wouldnt put it in my top 10 is because of the ending. I dont want to ruin it for those who havent seen it but it just felt stupid to me, whereas the rest of the film felt real.
HomicidalBabies I too felt like the characters and the situation as a realistic and horrific look on war and though a lot of people found the characters were bad and terrible, I viewed it as the type of people that were molded and changed to be like that through the horrors of war and found it a refreshing war movie. Fury is now one of my favorite war movies among Saving Private Ryan, Black Hawk Down, and a few other classics I can't name off the top of my head at the moment.
However, I personally liked the ending and felt that even in war, people might discover some kindness among the enemy soldiers. I also found it a little hopeful that maybe some people can come out of such horrifying experiences still a good man. But that's just my take on the ending.
i love how you kinda changed your opinion on interstellar. I wasn't that impressed the first time I saw it but every time since its gotten better. Wish they would rerelease it in imax one of these days, its beautiful and emotional, even if it is far fetched.

Mi inglés apesta así que voy a escribir en español. Si bien llegué a tu canal este año por tu review The Last of Us, desde entonces he estado suscrita. La pasión que entregas en cada una de tus criticas es alucinante y tal como lo mencionaste en tu vídeo gracias a ti he podido conocer películas que jamás hubiera visto, gracias.
Concuerdo. Él es el mejor crítico en mi opinión.
"My english sucks, so i'm gonna write in spanish. Even though i found your channel this year because of the Last Of Us review i've been suscribed ever since. The passion that you deliver with each and every one of your critics it's outstanding, and just like you've mentioned in your video thanks to you i have been able to discover movies i i would have never watched, thank you." Eso seria en ingles, :D
Yo tambien hablo español, pero tengo que comentar en ingles porque casi todos aqui hablan ingles xD
Yo tambien soy un fan español y creia que era el unico, me parece muy infravalorado y sin duda uno de los mejores criticos/analistas de Peliculas que he encontrado en UA-cam.
"I am also a spanish fan and i thought i was the only one, i think he's very underrated and without a doubt one of the best movie critics/analysts i've ever found on UA-cam."
nice to see spanish talking people. saludos desde Mexico amigos cinefilos.
Is it me or did anyone else find Chris's transitions between movies distracting? I don't know if it threw me off since he never did those kind of transitions before & even though they only lasted a few seconds, for some reason I just didn't like them. Am I the only one that sort of feels this way? probably LOL!
2014 gave me The Grand Budapest Hotel, and for that I am incredibly grateful.
9:31
Does Chris Evens look like Nicholas Cage or is that just me?
Am I the only one that thinks edge of tomorrow is overrated?! I felt that the story was good at first, and the montage of Tom cruises training was phenomenal, but then when the whole omega thing came in it made the movie too top-heavy for me, and got confusing. I thought it was good, but NOT worthy of being in the top 10
Yes
+peterthesneakybear watch the mys thoughts on edge of tomorrow douchebag

If this actually happens i wil freak ou
Birdman is the best movie ever made! You cant change my mind!
Boyhood is my #1 favorite of the year, it doesn't seem like a perfectly made film but it is basically life and every time someone might cringe, they're cringing at themselves. It doesn't push anything - it just is. We watch Mason grow up and develop into his own person, and the scene where he goes off to college is really powerful for no noticeable reason.
After that is Interstellar, Whiplash and The Theory of Everything(personally loved it).
I only watch like ten movies each year, and I am usually good at picking movies that are interesting to me while also being good movies.
How can a movie critic consider Guardians of the Galaxy as a good movie? I mean, it's predictable and cliche as fuck.
You're delusional.
Humour, great action sequences, and the characters are what makes this movie good for me, in my opinion at least.
+Abel Sebastian The movie was perfect in it's plot, it's humor, and it's action! James Gunn was amazing at directing this movie!!!!!! The villain was the biggest downfall in the movie, but that is because of his backstory not being fleshed out. I love this movie!!!!!!!
So a movie that throws a dance off in it's climax in favor of the usual hero vs. villain face off is predictable and cliche? Lol you're an idiot.
+Owen Buckner Explain how the dialogue was atrocious. It seems like you're blindly hating this movie.
