Film Pulse’s Top 20 Movies of 2014


2014 was a great year for movies, and rather than struggling to decide on 10 best films this year, we decided to just double it up and each come up with 20 of our favorites.

Be sure to let us know what your favorites of the year were and take a look below for our lists. For a more detailed discussion on myself and Kevin’s picks, click here to check out our year-end podcast.

I want to sincerely thank all of our fantastic writers that make this site all that it is, and to our wonderful community of readers and listeners- you’re all amazing and I can’t wait to begin our 2015 journey through cinema together.
