Here are the 20 movies that are in the running for my top 10 this year.

Still plenty of movies that may show up and surprise me. Who knows, maybe I’ll really like Angelina Jolie’s film? Or I’ll see Inherent Vice and end up not digging it? TIME WILL TELL!

Bethlehem (maybe)
Boyhood (yeah, yeah)
Edge of Tomorrow (not likely)
Foxcatcher (it’s probably gonna be in there)
Frank (probably)
The Great Flood (unlikely, but maybe as a crazy #10)
Guardians of the Galaxy (I dunno, maybe)
Ida (definitely in)
The Immigrant (maybe)
Inherent Vice (have not actually seen it yet, but I have a hunch)
Interstellar (have not actually seen it yet, but I have a hunch)
The LEGO Movie (gotta have something everyone’s seen)
Love Is Strange (this one really stuck with me)
The Missing Picture (unlikely)
Mr. Turner (definitely in)
Only Lovers Left Alive (probably)
Particle Fever (definitely in)
The Strange Colour of Your Body’s Tears (eh, “The Great Flood” is a better choice for the crazy #10.)
We Are The Best! (have not actually seen, I gotta get on this before the end of the year)
Whiplash (another one I have not actually seen it yet, but this is a slam dunk for me)
