This has been one of the toughest end-of-year Top Ten’s I’ve ever come up with. Although there were many good movies this year, there hasn’t (for me) been a clear winner, and well I’ve not managed to get around to some of the real big hitters like 12 Years A Slave or Boyhood, to name two. However listed below is my final Ten of the year compiled from the best movies I watched and reviewed (for the first time) in 2014. Note: I try and limit the contenders to movies released in the last two years.
1. Guardians of the Galaxy
2. American Hustle
3. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
4. The Wolf of Wall Street
5. Dallas Buyers Club
6. Gravity
7. Inside Llewyn Davis
8. Nightcrawler
9. Captain America: The Winter Soldier
10. Saving Mr Banks
Honourable mentions: Gone Girl, The Raid 2 and The Secret Life of Walter Mitty
Looks like a pretty solid top 10. The thing with this movie year was that there were so many great movies it was difficult to just pick 10!

Agreed, but do wish there had been that one real ‘gem’ rather than struggling to find a number one out of many good movies.
