You all don’t know what pain is until you attempt to vote on awards or do best of lists. 2014 in particular proved to be an incredibly difficult year to narrow down and so before I unleash my top 10 films of 2014 and personal ballot choices into the world, I wanted to pour a bit out for the stuff I had to leave off.

Movies: Of Horses and Men, A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night, Comet, Enemy, A Most Violent Year, Pride, Edge of Tomorrow, Hellion, Gone Girl, Big Hero 6

This list is for all intents and purposes my #11-#20, though the order of the films change in my mind.

Performances:

James McAvoy, X-Men: Days of Future Past

Luminita Gheorgiu, Child’s Pose

Albert Brooks, A Most Violent Year

Dan Stevens, The Guest

Sidenote: I actually wanted to cry leaving Dan Stevens off the best actor list.

The first 5 could be my original screenplay lineup in an alternate universe.Cryinggifs_03
