Wow! What a year it’s been for movies!
The North American box office crossed $11 billion; two studios crossed $2 billion; franchises raked in bucks, and a lot of movies that should have done well, flopped. It was crazy.
Whether you were into superheroes, caper flicks, horror, comedy (rude or not), big budget or low-fi sci-fi, romance, or well done big dumb fun, it was available to you. Of course, there were bad examples in every genre, too. But here, we’re looking for the Good Stuff and there’s so much of it that the potential is for an honorable mentions list that could be a second Favorite Fifteen list. That’s how many good movies there were this year.
As always, these are my seventeen (!) favorites. Your mileage, etc…
