Someone should submit it too.

it's been another shitty year for hollywood, so my best movie of the year candidate is a swedish comedy The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2113681/

Oh man, there was some really cool and interesting stuff there.

And then .... Interstellar?? I'm with you on Nolan; I think he's great. I loved Inception, The Prestige, Insomnia, Memento. I even think The Dark Knight Rises is unfairly maligned (it's not as good as The Dark Knight, but it was never going to be).

But Interstellar was terrible... IMO his worst movie. It squanders a great premise and some amazing visuals on a story that's all over the place.

Put it this way, Prometheus was the closest I've ever come to walking out of a movie. Its stupidity was just offensive. By the end I was rooting for the alien, the rolling spaceship, anything to kill the main characters and end its god-awfulness. But by the end of Interstellar, I was just bored.

It's certainly not the worst movie of 2014, but it was the biggest disappointment for me.

Oh, and any top 10 of 2014 that doesn't include the Lego Movie is missing its soul

Thanks Sarzy - always interested in your thoughts on film. I'm surprised how many of your top ten I've seen, and enjoyed them all. Will give Interstellar a go when I can find it in a cinema - I confess to believing the negative reviews given how many they were.

Interstellar was great. Definitely worth it.

Lego movie is also sweet.

Nice choice of tuba music, Sarzy, well done.

and done.
