The BEST Movies of 2015 - As Graded By You!

Posted by: islander (a.k.a del_CHG_islander2) on Jan 11, 17:17

As you may know, we have a weekly movie poll in which we share what films we saw and what we thought of them. I kept track of the grades given to films that received a 2015 North American release, and ranked them, converting the letter grades you gave into points (A+=11, A=10, A-=9 etc... to D=1, D-=0, and F=-1).


321 films received at least one grade. For this best-of list, I ranked films that received 4 or more grades. There were 88 such films. Here is how they rank, with their average score:

thats the most A+s we have given in a year and the most any 1 film has received.

 

Here are the BEST films over the 6(!) years I have done this:

2015 9.67 Inside Out
2014 9.43 Whiplash
2013 9.60 La Grande Bellezza
2012 10.0 Holy Motors
2011 9.50 Warrior
2010 9.50 True Grit

 

I will track the Oscar best pic nominees until Oscar Day.

 

My Personal Top 10:

The Hateful 8
Project Almanac
Dope
Mad Max: Fury Road
Tomorrowland
Spring
Spy
Star Wars The Force Awakens
Kingsmen The Secret Service
The Man From UNCLE

(I only gave out 1 A level grade all year, an A- for Hateful 8. Gave 40 of the 66 films I saw this year a B- or better, only 2 Ds and no Fs, so not a great year but still pretty good overall)

 

The WORST is yet to come...
