Countdown: Top 10 films of 2014

Countdown to 2015 is approaching, so at this point of 2014, it is the moment for filmAEO to embrace yet another year of great films. It is not a usual practice for film critics to say the year was not overwhelmed with great movies, however filmAEO must point out that the 'Best Picture' race is really tight as there is clearly no greatest of the great. I believe the answer will be clearer when the Oscar nominations are announced in two weeks. No matter how, for the films that filmAEO have already viewed, we present our countdown for the top 10 films of 2014 in preferential order:

1. Nightcrawler
2. Gone Girl
3. Guardians of the Galaxy
4. The Grand Budapest Hotel
5. The Lego Movie
6. Boyhood
7. Edge of Tomorrow
8. Interstellar
9. The Imitation Game
10. The Theory of Everything

If you have seen our top 10, have an eye on the following list as your pre-countdown activity. We present you the list of notable 2014 films:

- Begin Again
- Big Hero 6
- How To Train Your Dragon 2
- Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
- Foxcatcher
- X-Men: Days of Future Past
- Captain America: The Winter Soldier
- 22 Jump Street

Unfortunately, some films are scheduled for showings in 2015, but we know they have been picking up good reviews throughout the year. They could have been potentially placed either at top 10 or the notable films. Therefore, we are daring enough to present you the great films that are yet to be viewed:

- Birdman
- Whiplash
- Selma
- A Most Violent Year
- American Sniper
- Top Five
- Ida
- Force Majeure
- Wild

Trust our list of recommendations when you find nothing better to do than watching a good film before countdown. filmAEO wishes you all a great year ahead! Do not forget to check your watches for countdown while viewing these great films.

Farewell 2014, bring it on, 2015!
