FACEBOOK: / chrisstuckmann TWITTER: / chris_stuckmann OFFICIAL SITE: www.chrisstuckmann.com It's finally that time of year! Here are Chris Stuckmann's picks for the best films of 2014!
spinz186 There Will Be Blood and No Country for Old Men are probably better than 2014's top 2 and are two of my favorite movies ever, so I completely agree. I'm a big fan of Zodiac and Hot Fuzz as well. I guess I didn't include 2007 because while it has two undeniable modern classics, I feel like its a more top-heavy year. Definitely a year I'd expect many to cite though. Arguably a better year overall.
Dennis H I think people are judging it not just by quality but also quantity, bc yes 2007 has a few greats but has a lot of downers in it too, 2014 did have stinkers, every year does, just that not as much as other years
2014 is the best year for film since 1999. Here's everything that came out: Interstellar Nightcrawler Whiplash Gone Girl Dawn of the Planet of the Apes The Grand Budapest Hotel Snowpiercer Edge of Tomorrow Birdman X-Men: Days of Future Past The Imitation Game Guardians of the Galaxy John Wick The Lego Movie How to Train Your Dragon 2 CA: The Winter Soldier Big Hero 6 The Babadook The Raid 2 Fury The Theory of Everything 22 Jump Street
Don't listen to that fuck. They're totally different types of movies. Even tho they are both in space. Dumbasses can't make the distinction. I totally agree with you.
+Justin Hopkins Yeah I left the theater very conflicted the first time I saw it. But just like Chris, the more I re-watched it the more I fell in love with it. One of my favorite movies of all time.
I agree as well. I have a fondness for all of Wes Anderson's films, actually. While I thoroughly enjoyed TGBH all the way through, I personally don't think it stands up to some of this previous works--The Life Aquatic for instance. Have you watched any of his other films, and if so, do you have a favorite?

nice list, chris. i'm still waiting to do mine until i see a few more like INHERENT VICE, MOMMY and MR. TURNER, just in case. every so often a surprise one sneaks into my list at the last second. if you get the chance to check out those ones we spoke about on the podcast we did together (CITIZENFOUR, WHY DON'T YOU PLAY IN HELL, FORCE MAJUERE), do so. all are fantastic.
Same here. A lot of films i still need to watch, mainly Birdman, Whiplash, Inherent Vice, American Sniper and Foxcatcher. At the moment i've got Gone Girl topping the list.
Mommy is great! Still haven't got the chance to watch films like Birdman, The Imitation Game, Whiplash, Foxcatcher, Inherent Vice, Selma & Top Five though, cause they have yet to be released in my home country Austria, which is the reason why my 2014 list won't be done until april.

ajhani deacon foxcatcher isnt showing in any theaters around me bur i want to see it because i am a wrestler and i know about the story of the shultz brothers
goleafs81 im not attacking you, but could you explain why you thought Spiderman 2 was even worth an honourable mention. in my opinion, that movie was dog shit.

Interstellar, for me, is the only modern Sci-Fi movie that came close to the quality and grandeur of "2001: A Space Odyssey". I've watched it probably 20 times and I still enjoy it.
Updated best of 2014 List: 1. The Grand Budapest Hotel 2. Guardians of the Galaxy 3. The Lego Movie 4. Life Itself 5. Boyhood (2-5 could change depending on the mood I'm in) 6. Birdman 7. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes 8. X-Men: Days of Future Past 9. Fury 10. Neighbors Honorable Mentions: Cap 2, Fault in our Stars, Godzilla, Snowpiercer, Edge of Tomorrow,The Babadook, The Raid 2, The Fluffy Movie, and 22 Jump Street
One thing I will always praise Edge of Tomorrow for is being the first manga adaption done right. Sure they changed some things but the central focus that was in the manga was still there and even if the main characters weren't teens I still got a kick out of seeing the main character go from this coward to a pretty big badass, and the humor was really funny as well.
This is why I love watching your videos. You're so genuinely passionate and excited about film, plus love a variety of different movies, which is such a stark contrast from most RU-vid reviewers. (also, I had seen every single one of these movies except The Imitation Game, Under the Skin, and The Tale of the Princess Kaguya before I even watched this video, and agree with you on every single choice)
My top 10 favorite films of 2014 are... 1. Boyhood 2. Life Itself 3. Whiplash 4. Snowpiercer 5. Nightcrawler 6. The Babadook 7. Birdman 8. Frank 9. Foxcather 10. Guardians of the Galaxy Honorable mentions: The Imitation Game, The Lego Movie, The Grand Budapest Hotel, Under the Skin, Gone Girl, Blue Ruin, Locke
You know what? I'm happy with this list. I'm happy that you put Interstellar up at #6, even if it is a #1 for me. But then again, i havent seen Birdman, Whiplash, The Babadook or Nightcrawler so what the fuck do I know hahaha. I really need to watch those films. You've supported them convincingly and I related a lot to what you said about Interstellar. It got better with each viewing and I still want to see it again. Sure, it's got problems but everyone's got problems, it's about whether the problems are worth acknowledging or not. Interstellar had problems. Did it take away from my experience? No, not one bit. Brilliant film. Good list Chris.

I didn't like Interstellar. I understand why people like it, but i thought the story arc was predictable and the ending too convenient. The first 2 hours were great, and I liked the chemistry between The little girl and Mathew Mcconaughey. I liked Matt Damon and the conflict he brings in the movie. I think Nolan was trying to go for this really intellectual movie but to me it fell flat. The ending seemed like he had a lot of endings in mind, and instead of just choosing one he tried to combine them all into one.
I agree, I was so invested in the movie for the first half of it, but the second half just lost me completely, it just felt like the movie lost some of its heart.
That was the other thing I didn't like. And I did understand the movie as a whole, I just thought SPOILER that Nolan went out of his way to make the ending happy. To me an ending should flow and in when Nolan does something like this in his other movies it works. But In this one it just felt like he did everything in his power so that all characters ended up happy.
I did understand the science of it, and I agree that it is more intellectual than a lot of the movies now a days (infinitely more than that god awful Ouija) but it looked like he was going for something more. It is more intellectual than most movie though. My main problem with this movie was the ending though.
20. The Raid 2 19. Foxcatcher 18. How To Train Your Dragon 2 17. Captain America: The Winter Soldier 16. The Zero Theorem 15. Honeymoon 14. Gone Girl 13. Starred Up 12. Horns 11. The Sacrament 10. Birdman 9. Edge of Tomorrow 8. The Babadook 7. Frank 6. Grand Budapest Hotel 5. The Guest 4. Guardians of the Galaxy 3. Snowpiercer 2. Whiplash 1. Nightcrawler
dude i watched snowpiercer on netflix with low expectations a couple months ago and when i finished it i felt heartbroken because i really cared about the character since they were written well and you had this vibe that anyone could die at any point and i found myself recommending it to other people... i was anticipating for you to have snowpiercer at 15 or 20 but i was shocked and happy that you put it way higher
My Top 10 Movies of 2014 that I've seen from 10-1 IMO would be: 10. Big Hero 6 9. Gone Girl 8. Guardians of the Galaxy 7. Birdman 6. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes 5. Whiplash 4. Boyhood 3. Interstellar 2. Edge of Tomorrow 1. The Imitation Game Honorable Mentions in no particular order: Foxcatcher, The Lego Movie, How to Train Your Dragon 2, X-Men: Days of Future Past, The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, The Hunger Games: MockingJay Part 1, Captain America: Winter Solider, John Wick, 22 Jump Street, and Snowpiercer
Whiplash was really the best film watching experience I ever had in theater. I was shaking the whole way through because it's freaking intense I feel claustophobic. Even though the theater wasn't full, but in that final scene, the whole audience applauded. It was just so great to experience that and it reminded me why watching movies in theater is important.

Idk guess I didn't hate it but I gave it 4/10 so below average. But my grips would manly be the ending and the fact there was no subtlety everything was explained in full detail like goddamn were not stupid we can put two and two together! It just felt like cheap 2001 ASO wanna be
I think we can all agree the top 10 movies of all times are: 1. Death race 3 2. Fast and furious 6 3. Avengers 4. ghost Rider 2 5. Die hard 5 6. TMNT 7. Divergent 8. MAMA 9. Transformers 3 10. Hunger Games 1
1. Interstellar( This film is polarizing but I understand certain sacrifices a filmmaker has to make in terms of pace and runtime) I was sitting in the Imax and I swear this film is a 100 percent roller coaster ride. 2. Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes. (Excellent cinematography)(Andy Serkis) 3. Nightcrawler (This is one of the dramas of the year and Jake Gyllenhaal atleast deserves a nomination or a Golden Globe) 4. Snowpiercer (A tense moral story and Chris Evans best performance) (Love the gritty tone of the book) 5. X-men Days Of Future Of Past (Shed a tear by the end of this film and very well pace) (waiting for the director's cut) 6. Edge Of Tomorrow ( Year after year Tom Cruise delivers films and I keep enjoying, yes even Oblivion and Jack Reacher, I cant wait for Mission Impossible 5. 7. Gone Girl (Another director that never disappoints on well made dramas) (Rosamund Pike was excellent give this woman a nomination. 8. Captain America The Winter Soldier (No stupid jokes)(A action pack film with a cool moral character) 9. Exodus Gods and Kings( I love Christian Bale and Ridley Scott, sure the film doesn't follow the story hundred percent but I was very engaged by this take of this classic story) 10. The Lego Movie (Who doesn't love Legos haha) The town where I live doesn't have small independent cinemas so I cant watch Whiplash, Birdman and other limited releases. Honorable mentions: The Babadook, The Hobbit The Battle Of Five Armies, Boyhood, Locke, Enemy, Under The Skin, The Grand Budapest Hotel, John Wick.

I'm so so glad to see The Guest in this list! I went to see this film with one of my friends and we were some of the only people in the theatre, really disappointing it didn't do better, but was still a great film.

Chris Stuckmann is probably the kindest towards Interstellar among all critics. He did say there were flaws in the movie (I would disagree. There are some logistical problems, but overall I find the movie pretty coherent), but accepted that he watched the movies in theaters more than once. He watched the movie more than once. In theaters. And I know multiple people who have done that. That is an under-reported fact about the movie. And honestly, that needs to come up more. Over the past one year, I have noticed how Interstellar isn't really all that appreciated by people - as much as they appreciate other Nolan features like TDK or Inception. I still haven't really understood why. Interestingly, I found Interstellar to be much more fascinating than Inception.
I had interstellar as number 1 on my list if you wanna check out my channel (my top ten of 2014 video is really bad but the list itself I still adhere to. I was just starting out trust me I'm way better now) I hate Interstellar's ending. I can't stand it. It was very underwhelming, very silly and ridiculous, and full of exposition and ruined all the good build up with a really sappy resolution. HOWEVER The rest of the movie is a masterpiece of visuals and sound, Hans Zimmer is a God, the mountains scene was pure intensity and breadth, and of course the docking scene song was catchy as hell. The effects are flawless, and the awe of entering the unknown power and vastness of space (cheesy line I know, but really) was perfectly manifested on screen. You know when the music begins to swell when they first enter the wormhole? And when McConnaughey enters the black hole? also that scene where his kids grow up with Day One playing is amazing. Not as clean or well-crafted a movie as inception, but still, well done Mr. Nolan.
Saw whiplash last week and had to see if it was on your list for 2014. Your reviews convinced me to start watching and collecting movies including whiplash which is easily my favorite of all time. Keep doing what you do
I started getting into movies around 2014, and although I knew it was a great year for film at the time, looking back now makes me realize how truly exceptional it really was.
my top 5 this year would be 5: Guardians of the Galaxy 4: Birdman 3: The Imitation Game 2: How to Train Your Dragon 2 (because I'm a sucker for good animation and it's the best CGI animated movie that's been released this century in my opinion) 1: The Babadook took the cake for me, I saw it months ago and I still think about it, it really resonated with me as I've also dealt with loss, panic anxiety, and depression and I love how The Babadook itself is just this wonderful metaphor for the monster inside.
Babadook is my number one too! I've only seen it once but it hasn't left me since. It mainly resonated with me as a parent. I even ordered the actual book from their web page! I doubt I'll read it to my kid though... Babadook = A bad book
I trust your recommendations so much. A while ago I decided not to watch Edge of Tomorrow, but I watched this video today and watched it immediately. That was the best thing I did. I loved it. You also made me watch Whiplash and Oculus and many many other favorites of mine. Thank you so much Chris Stuckmann. Thank you

I'm feeling so inspired by your movie reviews right now. It has been so hard mucking about youtube looking for movie reviews, because so few people know hardly anything about film, so it's refreshing listening to someone who's so passionate about the art form. As a young lady who wants to be a film critic one day, I tip my hat to you for helping to keep me on my path of righteousness.
My picks: 10. The Tale of the Princess Kaguya 9. The Imitation Game/John Wick (I can't choose!) 8. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes 7. Captain America: The Winter Soldier 6. Edge of Tomorrow 5. How to Train Your Dragon 2 4. X-Men: Days of Future Past 3. Birdman 2. Gone Girl 1. Whiplash
In regards to Ida; you mine as well give up on Stuckman having any non-English films in his top of the year lists. (I have a long time ago) That'll never happen, its like he's deathly afraid of them no matter how good they are.
If your going to make a subjective list of the best films of 2014 put in the effort in going your way to see the all films that 2014 has to offer that have receive critically acclaimed before making a list rather then just jumping the News Year bandwagon to gain more viewers.
Hi Chris, I really enjoyed the video thanks for making it. Watching 'The Guest' tonight. Fun fact I think you'll like: apparantly Zach Galifianakis made the least mistakes because he was able to incorporate them into the way his character speaks. You can tell when it happens. For me, instead of taking me out of the experience (noticing the process) it added to my appreciation of how the film was made.
Thank you so much for this list Chris, otherwise I wouldn't have checked out The Guest or The Badabook. Both are among my favorites in their respective genres.
20- The Lego Movie 19- Guardians Of The Galaxy 18- Snowpeircer 17- Gone Girl 16- Captain America: The Winter Soldier 15- Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes 14- The Interview 13- Fury 12- How To Train Your Dragon 2 11- X-Men: Days Of Future Past 10- The Theory Of Everything 9- The Imitation Game 8- Selma 7- Edge Of Tomorrow 6- Boyhood 5- Grand Budapest Hotel 4- Nightcrawler 3- Birdman 2- John Wick 1- Whiplash
Really surprised with The Raid 2 only being an honorable mention, that's probably my favorite movie of the entire year, I actually loved the story and thought it was great.
My top 5 #1: Interstellar #2: Whiplash #3: Captain America: The Winter Soldier #4: The Babadook #5: Edge of Tomorrow Interstellar imo, is a fucking masterpiece
I really enjoyed this video. I plan on watching a bunch more movies that I unfortunately missed. Thank you, sir. this video was a phenomenal tot 10/20 list.
I still have many movies to see, (which is crazy since I have currently seen 131 2014 movies), but I too found this a really good year for some really good and unique movies.

I liked it even more the 2nd watch and felt it more moving than I originally did) 14. Snowpiercer 13. Afflicted (not much talk about this one. It's probably just a personal favorite, I guess.) 12. The LEGO Movie 11. Lone Survivor (I don't care that most consider it a 2013 movie. It came out in theaters worldwide on Jan 10 2014!) 10. Captain America: Winter Soldier 9. Guardians of the Galaxy 8. The Babadook 7. Big Eyes 6. Birdman 5. Godzilla 4. How to Train Your Dragon 2 3. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes 2. Fury 1.

Havent seen Fury on a lot of lists. I really enjoyed it and i think its underrated. The acting was great, there were characters you felt for, and it had some really tense moments which makes for an entertaining movie. Only reason i probably wouldnt put it in my top 10 is because of the ending. I dont want to ruin it for those who havent seen it but it just felt stupid to me, whereas the rest of the film felt real.
HomicidalBabies I too felt like the characters and the situation as a realistic and horrific look on war and though a lot of people found the characters were bad and terrible, I viewed it as the type of people that were molded and changed to be like that through the horrors of war and found it a refreshing war movie. Fury is now one of my favorite war movies among Saving Private Ryan, Black Hawk Down, and a few other classics I can't name off the top of my head at the moment. However, I personally liked the ending and felt that even in war, people might discover some kindness among the enemy soldiers. I also found it a little hopeful that maybe some people can come out of such horrifying experiences still a good man. But that's just my take on the ending.
Really awesome to see Nightcrawler on this list. I hadn't heard a thing about this movie and literally just last week I watched it on a whim because it was on Netflix and I've always liked Jake Gyllenhaals performances and I was blown away. There's a bunch of other movies on this list I haven't heard of and will definitely be watching over the next few days. Also, it wasn't until after I watched the video and thought about it for a few minutes and realized I've already seen enemy and I remember not particularly liking it but I can't remember why. I'll definitely have to rewatch it.
i love how you kinda changed your opinion on interstellar. I wasn't that impressed the first time I saw it but every time since its gotten better. Wish they would rerelease it in imax one of these days, its beautiful and emotional, even if it is far fetched.
My personal faves: 15: Godzilla 14: Snowpiercer 13: Big Hero 6 12: Mockingjay: Part 1 11: 22 Jump Street 10: Birdman 9: Fury 8: American Sniper 7: Whiplash 6: Guardians of the Galaxy 5: Nightcrawler 4: The LEGO Movie 3: How To Train Your Dragon 2 2: Boyhood 1: Gone Girl
+corey lanouette I wasn't as blown away by Interstellar as everybody else. Matthew McConaughey, the visuals, and especially the score were all fantastic, but the rest of the movie failed to please.
My top 10 (from what I saw in 2014): 10: The Maze Runner 9: Birdman 8: X-Men: Days of Future Past 7: Big Hero 6 6: Dawn of the Planet of the Apes 5: Guardians of the Galaxy 4: Pride 3: The Babadook 2: The Lego Movie 1: Captain America: The Winter Soldier Honourable Mentions: The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies Night at the Museum: secret of the Tomb Maleficent The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 Godzilla
My Top 10: 10. Enemy 9. Nightcrawler 8. Interstellar 7. John Wick 6. How to Train Your Dragon 2 5. Captain America: The Winter Soldier 4. The Admiral: Roaring Currents 3. Birdman 2. Whiplash 1. Boyhood Honorable Mentions: - Magical Girl - The Raid 2 - Gone Girl - Dawn of the Planet of the Apes - Big Hero 6 - Edge of Tomorrow
Boyhood is my #1 favorite of the year, it doesn't seem like a perfectly made film but it is basically life and every time someone might cringe, they're cringing at themselves. It doesn't push anything - it just is. We watch Mason grow up and develop into his own person, and the scene where he goes off to college is really powerful for no noticeable reason. After that is Interstellar, Whiplash and The Theory of Everything(personally loved it). I only watch like ten movies each year, and I am usually good at picking movies that are interesting to me while also being good movies.
I haven't watched many 2014 movies but my list is: 5: How to train your dragon 2 4: X-men days of future past 3: Lego movie 2: Guardians of the Galaxy 1: Godzilla!!!!!- movie was f*cking awesome

Hearing stuckman talk is satisfying. The guy really knows his movies an he’s overall a really cool movie buff with a lot of passion for movies and pop culture. One of the best in the business a long with Jeremy and Schmoes.
