Happy Thursday everyone! Somehow we all miraculously made it through the first week back at work. Let’s keep it up! To make your day worth it (jke), here is my top ten for 2015.
Note: I somehow lost my original post, so this may or may not turn out great.
10: Jurassic World
Original rating: 7.5/10
Does it still hold? It might eventually fall to a 7
What I Liked: Jurassic World managed to revive the franchise and is blockbuster entertainment at its’ finest. I adored Chris Pratt in here, and he is quickly becoming a favorite of mine.
What I didn’t like: The more time passes the more the film seems incredibly sexist.
Original rating: 7.5/10
Does it still hold? I actually think it deserves an 8
What I Liked: This was a really unexpectedly great film. The film is classy and very sassy and a tounge-in-the-cheek look at spy films. Colin Firth is especially in fine form. He can certainly consider more such roles!
What I didn’t like: That last scene where Buggsy goes and does the dirty with the Queen or something felt misplaced in the film.
Original Rating: 8/10
Does it still hold? It really deserves an 8.5/10
What I liked: The showcasing of South-African talent and the nailbiting events. I really can’t wait to give this disturbing and heart-wrenching story another watch.
Original rating: 8/10
Does it still hold? I think I would rate this a 7/10 if I watched it again.
What I liked: Marvel has the ability to go really big and really grand. They are a powerhouse right now and it is obvious in anything they release in the market right now. I know everyone isn’t such a big fan of this film, because it has a number of valid issues, but I really did have a good time when I saw it in cinema.
What I didn’t like: It is excessively long. And the brave South-African cops are all lies.
Original rating: 8.5/10
Does it still hold? Yeah
What I Liked: The classy feel of the film, the hilarity, the Russian accent, the Cavil. I’m also becoming such a huge fan of Alicia Vikander that I will watch anything with her in right now.
Original Rating: 8.5/10
Does it still hold: 9/10
What I liked: YASSS everything.
What I didn’t like? There is nothing. Nothing.
4. Inside Out
Original Rating: 8.5/10
Does it still hold? Definitely
What I liked: This is such a surprising film and I really don’t like animations as a rule.
3. Ex Machina
Original Rating: 8.5/10
Does it still hold? Yep
What I liked: It is a well acted movie on A.I. and really worked out well. It is weird and Oscar Isaac shines. The ever delightful Domnhall Gleeson and Alicia Vikander are great in their respective roles.
Original rating: 9/10
Does it still hold? Yes
What I liked: Primarily that it is a great film that can be watched even if you don’t know everything about the franchise.
Original Rating: 10 / 10
Does it still hold? 9.5/10
What I liked: The Martian is truly everything I could ever want in a movie.
Well, there you go. Let me know your favorite films of 2015!
Life of this city girl 
You certainly like your action films. I haven’t seen Star wars yet, so I cannot comment on that, but I loved Ex-Machina and Martian. Definitely two of the best films I saw last year. I saw Whiplash this year otherwise that would be on my list from last year.
I do 🙂 I hope you enjoy Star Wars! It is a really enjoyable film. I saw whiplash in 2014, so that’s why it’s not on here, but it is great and really intense film!
I have started watching the film originals again.
So great to see Inside Out near the top of a Best of list. I like your succinct style.
Thanks Alex. I’m not big on animation but that was an amazing film.
… I somehow lost my original post and got so cranky about it that I ended up with one liners hahaha
haha. You need a vblog so we can see your reactions!
Loved The Martian, but I might have flipped it for Ex Machina.
It would be completely justifiable. Ex Machina was so cool!
Great list! We have a lot the same in our top tens, but a different order. The Force Awakens is my top choice with Fury Road a close second. Then Ex Machina! 🙂 Surprised to see Inside Out so high – you & Zoe both don’t seem big on animated films. 😉
Oh, we aren’t lol! Though it seems Natasha is more likely to watch one at this point than I am xD
Well, you both tend to like the Pixar stuff so that’s cool with me 😉
Oh! But I have yet to see The Martian. Which sucks as I LOVED that book!
We both have awesome top tens!! 😀
Fury road and Star Wars are both so worth being first on a list! Great films.
I really don’t often watch animation but gosh Inside Out is so well done with them feels everywhere!
Wonderful list, I still need to see The Martian dammit!
Great list mah bestie! There are some picks on here that are certainly in my top ten as well. I have got to finish up that list, for reals!
We share so many best movies of the year and The Martian was my number one too. Loved Kingsman as well.
