Eric's 2014 Movie List

I tried really hard not to put another Wes Anderson film at the top of my list, but failed. He's a master at work and nothing compares to his film making for me. I loved Boyhood, but in the end it's still just seemed like a movie to me. The Grand Budapest Hotel is a work of art. Sadly, I can say I loved only the top two or three movies on my list this year, but really liked the top 30 or so. So, though it might seem like a down year for movies, the depth of field was really impressive in my mind. Additionally, I can honestly say I only disliked the last two films on my list. Mike and I disagree on The Congress...he had it ranked highly last year when he saw it. I was really into it up until a certain point, but then it went off the rails...if you've seen it you might be able to guess where that point is. Let us know where you agree or disagree with our takes.
