Top 10 Best & Worst of 2014 - Good Bad Flicks

[@nicholashutter1865]

Literally paused the video and watched Blue Ruin. All I can say is thank you. That was fantastic.

[@GoodBadFlicks]

+Nick Hutter Excellent! So glad you enjoyed it. Such an amazing movie.

[@tristanhartup4936]

My Top 10 Best Movies Of 2014: 1 - Interstellar 2 - Godzilla 3 - The Hobbit: The Battle Of The Five Armies 4 - The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 5 - X-Men: Days Of Future Past 6 - Captain America: The Winter Soldier 7 - Edge Of Tomorrow 8 - Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes 9 - Fury 10 - Guardians Of The Galaxy Honourable Mention: 22 Jump Street My Worst Movie Of 2014: Transformers: Age Of Extinction

[@ShadeWMD]

Loved John Wick. It seems like every decade, Reeves has a movie that's a blow-out success. Maybe JW wasn't a massive financial success, but it made pretty decent bank and was critically well-received by most movie-goers. One of the best pure action films of the last 10 years.

[@Armageddon-yt3so]

Shade Draws if Mad Max Fury Road didn't come out i'd agree. John Wick was such a surprise. both great action movies.

[@BEEEELEEEE]

Your description of Edge of Tomorrow as "he goes through the day, dies, and uses uses what he's learned to his advantage" reminded me of how I approach most video games. Hell, the "repeating the same series of events to ultimately save the world" concept made me think of Majora's Mask more than it did Groundhog Day.

[@alfeeer]

I really do appreciate your general concern and talent to explain the plot quite enjoyably without spoiling anything. Especially in the Edge of Tomorrow bit, I was speechless how you managed to dodge giving out any spoiler on the driving factor of story which basically sets the base of it. Thanks a bunch for the great work

[@GoodBadFlicks]

Thank you!

[@URBONED]

I actually really enjoyed Coherence. It is the first time I have watched a film that was filmed hand held like that, which I really enjoyed, particularly on the budget it had, of like $2000. I thought it was incredible for that. I think the dialogue worked really well to make it seem like a real thing that was actually happening and the rough camera work was about to make it tense. Which, before people hate on me for saying that, watch something like Terminator 2, even that uses fast cuts and shaky camera work in certain scenes to build tension. It DOES work.. sometimes. But seriously, if you love science fiction and film making and are love independent films, i really do urge you to check it out. But my top 10 is: 1. Interstellar 2. The Guest 3. Nightcrawler 4. The Signal 5. I Origins 6. The Grand Budapest Hotel 7. It Follows 8. The One I Love 9. Fury 10. X-Men I have a full list on imdb, here www.imdb.com/list/ls058849992/?publish=save

[@ZeppelinBigFan]

The Guest, John Wick and Blue Ruin were very, very good. Cold in July was also a thriller I enjoyed from 2014, kind of in the same vein as Blue Ruin.

[@GoodBadFlicks]

ZeppelinBigFan I'll check that one out then!

[@wolftitanreading5308]

GoodBadFlicks rather loved horns maybe we can get a review for it sometime maybs

[@0djin]

After first watching May (another film suggested by Cecil) my missis thought I was into (and I quote) "super fucked up shit" and she's been pretty sketchy since. So yesterday I threw on Starry Eyes and she's not spoken to me since. 10/10 movies, shame I have a girlfriend with 2/10 movie appreciation.

[@GoodBadFlicks]

Moosh Man Whatever you do don't throw on Martyrs or Feed. She might never come back! (glad you liked the movies though) :)

[@31webseries]

Moosh Man Really avoid "Inside" too when she's around. And he's not kidding about "Martyrs."

[@fleshTH]

So... I just went through all of your "best of" videos over the years. Took down a list of about 15 movies I haven't seen and added them to my "To Watch" list. I was recently ill for a few days and stayed home form work and had nothing to watch... That's not going to happen again. Keep up the good work!

[@ionman25]

All You Need Is Kill was actually a book, before it was a manga. The book was released in 2004, while the manga came out in 2014, same as the movie.

[@GoodBadFlicks]

Lars Bo Nepper ohhhh, ok. I only did a quick look at the foundation. I've had a few people recommend the manga, didn't know about the book.

[@Jaksio]

GoodBadFlicks Well unlike with Edge of Tomorrow there is very little difference between AYNIK manga and the book. So if you read one of these you can easily skip the other.

[@katieclark4915]

because I loved 'You're Next' and because we appear to have the similar taste I watched 'The Guest' last night! Thoroughly enjoyed, thanks for recommending!

[@GoodBadFlicks]

+Katie Clark Excellent! I'm still spreading the good word of that movie, everyone needs to see it!

[@slvielisabetarson7510]

1. Gone Girl 2. Nymphomaniac 3. Birdman 4. Under the Skin 5. Guardians of the Galaxy 6. Enemy 7. The Guest 8. Snowpiercer 9. Raid 2 10. Cold in July

[@XellossBoi]

You've got some great recommendations! A lot of these movies I would have never known about if it wasn't for you. Thanks for sharing!

[@GoodBadFlicks]

+XellossBoi :)

[@0xGEEK]

Where is "WHIPLASH"??? Must be a mistake!!! ; ) , no seriously!

[@cleobinx]

Watching in 2017 , caching up with all your reviews cause I just found this channel and love it. So excited to see Odd Thomas on this , I absolutely LOVED this movie and thought it was such a shame that nobody knew what I was talking about or thought it was like a goosebumps silly movie

[@CorbCorbin]

This might be my favorite best of list, you've ever done. 2014 was a great year for movies. Lost Soul, is on par with the Apocalypse Now documentary, and one of the strangest stories, of a movie getting made ever. Stanley could've done some great things, if not for that life event.

[@GoodBadFlicks]

Thanks! I had the extreme pleasure of talking to Stanley for about 2 hours a few years back. Fascinating guy. He still has plenty of ideas in him, I hope he's able to bring them to life.

[@docleo2001]

For those who are still complaining about Wolverine being used to go back instead of Kitty Pryde, remember, she wasn't even born yet in 1973 so that wouldn't have even worked.

[@Ghoulstille]

Transformers 4 was hilarious Mark Wahlberg running around like a madman talking at a hundred miles an hour and part of the movie with a autobot laser sword riffle thing that looked like that Super Human Samurai Cyber-Squad sword gun toy from the 90's painted silver.

[@Netherman14TheHellblazer]

+Beers For Jeers Seychelle Gabriel was in the Last Airbender as part of the cast portraying Yue, and look at her. she's voiced Asami Sato until 2014.

[@bromodragone8405]

"I'm so gonna patent this shit!" - Mark Wahlberg, Transformers: Age of Extinction

[@strawhataddison]

I'd like to hear your thoughts on Birdman and Whiplash.

[@blackenedwritings]

Congratulations on your kid!

[@GoodBadFlicks]

Clint Dlowrev Thank you! :)

[@ChronoDegeneration]

GoodBadFlicks Have you seen Captain america the winter soldier?

[@charleshetrick3152]

Oliver ClothesOff Jesus dude, some people love each other, some people are adults and can communicate with other adults. Don’t foist your insecurities and profound incompetence on anyone else. If you don’t wanna engage with the opposite sex that’s your deal not anyone else’s.

[@willsi]

"Blue Ruin" rules! Gonna be checking out the few I haven't seen, haven't steered me wrong yet. Cheers!

[@JFHomehr]

The poster for Starry Eyes is beautiful, I am not a Horror fan but I would buy that one just for the art.

[@Manmadespacecraft]

I just got The Guest on blu-ray after I saw it on Netflix last week and loved it. Even though I already knew you had a baby, I'll say congratulations. You make awesome videos, man.

[@31webseries]

Just checked out Blue Ruin. You were right again. You know, I get the feeling from watching older movies that once upon a time, sadly before my time, Hollywood actually put out Good Stories. I'm not sure what happened. What made this a rare straight-to-video find and put Jupiter Rising on the big screen. But if it was alive it should be shot.

[@iamsuperbatman1993]

My Top 12 Best of 2014: 12. The Raid 2 11. Interstellar 10. Captain America: The Winter Soldier 9. Edge of Tomorrow 8. Sin City: A Dame to Kill For (which I know I am going to get crap for, but I really liked it and don't get the hate it gets) 7. John Wick 6. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes 5. X-Men: Days of Future Past 4. The Lego Movie 3. Nightcrawler 2. Whiplash 1. Gone Girl My Top 12 Worst Films of 2014: 12. Transcendence 11. The Expendables 3 10. A Million Ways to Die in the West 9. Divergent 8. Lucy 7. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 6. Maleficent 5. Transformers: Age of Extinction 4. A Long Way Down 3. Tammy 2. Mrs. Browns Boys D’Movie. 1. Annabelle

[@GoodBadFlicks]

iamsuperbatman1993 Good choices! I avoided Tammy like the plague. I hated Bridesmaids and I figured it would be more of the same. Ah, I forgot about Sin City 2! I need to see that!

[@iamsuperbatman1993]

GoodBadFlicks Cheers dude, but if you like the first Sin City film, you might like this one as it delivers on what it promises without just being a retread of the first film. Also THANK YOU, I thought I was the only one who hates Bridesmaids.

[@idletalker]

Coherence was amazing and groundbreaking though. It was made for no money at all and told a huge story and had amazing ideas.

[@GoodBadFlicks]

+Karl F. Conceptually it was wonderful. I wanted to like it but I just couldn't get past the film style. It felt like it was actively taunting me to hate the film.

[@idletalker]

+GoodBadFlicks fair enough! I have to say that I'm a fan of the "mumblecore" style so I enjoyed the style a lot.

[@idletalker]

+GoodBadFlicks also I can't be mad because The Guest is on your list and that has to be one of the most underrated movies of this century. it's just so much fun

[@GoodBadFlicks]

+Karl F. No prob! Best/worst 2015 should be up next week

[@docsdomain]

Thank you for giving me some new movies to hunt down. Please do a best/worst of 2015.

[@dingothornton5402]

The Guest is the only film i've ever seen in the cinema where the audience applauded at the end. A phenomenal film

[@Liquid1024]

Love your channel. Recommendations are always good. Albeit mostly terrifying, I have enjoyed a lot of them. Reviews are top notch, and the best part is they don't reveal too much. Keep up the good work!

[@GoodBadFlicks]

Liquid Newb Thanks!

[@christianninsananda9626]

Check out Birdman and Whiplash if you haven't yet. I'll definitely check out some of the more obscure movies on your list.

[@ajshim]

I cracked up so much when you had that cartoon ghost run across the screen during the Ouija segment.

[@gSlover4reel]

Late to the party but great call on Odd Thomas. Watched on your recommendation and was pleasantly surprised. Excellent film, but the ending nearly brought me to tears. Didn't see that coming

[@IndiephantomSofaSinema]

I'm so happy to see someone else put Odd Thomas on their best of 2014. It was a complete surprise to me and I loved every minute of it. I'm also on board with most of your selections and I think it was an interesting year overall for cinema. Some great foreign releases as well.

[@cmmosher8035]

First, congratulations. John Wick was my favourite movies from last year. I loved how physical Reeves was in this movie. great list.

[@GoodBadFlicks]

Cm Mosher Thanks!

[@BenVost]

The only problem with Edge of Tomorrow for me is that Tom Cruise is in it. It means you are never uncertain that Major Cage is going to be a hero.

[@BenVost]

***** True but there was no transformation to hero there, he was bad guy throughout.

[@yunikage]

Major props for having Blue Ruin on your list. Movie was amazing. Sadly Green Room didn't really live up to his previous film. Also Starry Eyes, I thought I was the only one who saw that. Great list. BTW I would LOVE to see an "Exploring Dust Devil" video.

[@GoodBadFlicks]

Thanks!

[@maggiedean5691]

I'm glad you gave horns credit. No one talks about it and it's a shame. Danial Radcliffe really made the movie work as did the rest of the cast.

[@maggiedean5691]

It's worth the watch!

[@rodericperez4204]

I enjoyed your recap and I am in agreement for most of your list. It is also funny to think about how much we have learned about Paz DeLaHuerta and what an absolute train wreck her career took, and before everyone gets complete bent, I do not mean her accusations of HW, she absolutely did the right thing by coming forward I mean the stories of her being impossible to work with due to full blown diva behavior fueled by cocaine and instead of fighting the allegations by becoming a better talent by slowly creating a full body of work until the allegations went away she doubled down with this lawsuit and many, many others making it so people just were afraid to work with her for fear she would sue down the road when shit ddn’t go her way. Anyway, great video as usual and now I am off to see the Guest.

[@MidTierVillain]

On to watching The Guest! Man you have great taste.. I'm glad I subbed to this channel..

[@drew2464]

After watching this I was really bored and decided to watch The Guest, which turned out to be absolutely incredible, one of my favorite films I've seen recently. I encourage everyone to give it a shot, I cannot believe it was not highly acclaimed when it hit theaters because it was amazing in my opinion. Thank you for recommending this movie!!!

[@BruceGiffordJustMyOpinion]

My worst 10: 10. I, Frankenstein 9. Let's Be Cops 8. Planes: Fire and Rescue 7. Tammy 6. The November Man 5. The Legend of Hercules 4. Left Behind 3. The Possession of Michael King 2. Ouija 1. Sex Tape

[@sabrinap5367]

Never got to see "Lost Soul", but was always intrigued by the story behind that horrible remake. Great list Cecil.

[@tajvader]

Great list! Blue Ruin is probably the best indie movie and realistic anti-revenge movie I have seen. Never even heard about Odd Thomas and Lost Soul, going to watch them as soon as I can.

[@iamsuperserious5633]

I watched The Guest and I loved it. My only problems with the movie get into spoilers so SPOILER WARNING...Go watch The Guest though. 1. Luke being the hero, the whole movie built up making us think Anna would be the hero and they just made it Luke. I understand they wanted to give him a character ark but they accomplished that when he hit the bully. 2. The military officer, he felt like a cheap way to get David to kill the mother, to let Anna know her parents are dead, to explain why David is the way he is, and to get Anna to Luke. They killed him off the first chance they got once Anna was where she needed to be so he felt pointless.

[@guyincognito2512]

I just watched it myself because of the list and like yourself I did enjoy it but the last 20 minutes seemed cliche, yet still enjoyable

[@JeddtheJedi]

Never too late for a top ten list and hearty congratulations on the baby Cecil!

[@JeddtheJedi]

Jedd Jong Also so glad you also hated Nurse. Far be it from me to criticize someone's appearance, but Paz de la Huerta looks like a somewhat more feminine Steven Tyler. It was just vile, off-putting and smug rather than fun and gleefully gory.

[@theprojectionist8145]

I know you don't really like talking about stuff you don't like on your channel, but I think you're good at doing that in videos like this (the part about ouija was awesome!)

[@M00seL00seAb00tH0use]

Good call on Lost Souls, I just happened to see it a few days before watching this and it's probably the best documentry I've seen since Cropsey.

[@ChibiFighter]

I dug your Best and Worst list of 2014 Cecil also seeing Gone Girl on your best list made me so happy, I loved loved LOVED Gone Girl and it's my favorite Fincher movie. My top 3 bests of 2014 would be. 3. Gone Girl. 2. Selma. 1. Foxcatcher.

[@GoodBadFlicks]

***** Gone Girl floored me I wasn't expecting it to be as good as it was

[@BatesKrisbates]

My main issue with the new Ninja Turtles movie wasn't really how absurdly huge they were. It was the movie's lack of focus. Instead of the central conflict being between the turtles and the foot clan, it was April O'Neil vs some rich scientist dude that worked with her father and was working with the foot clan. The only reason the turtles and the foot clan were in there was to justify calling it Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

[@GeekGirlRadio]

Congratulations on your bundle of joy! :)

[@GoodBadFlicks]

GeekGirlRadio Thank you!

[@VGB004]

Good list, im a movie buff & ive been watching Ur recommended movies for the past 2yrs. Im also a big fan of your Exploring vids the most. Peace ^_^

[@chrisconnell4074]

im so happy you kinda dissed the saying "ruined my childhood". sooo many people say that and its stupid and pompous, kinda forget that 1 in 6 of us were abused as a kid.

[@PhatGirlLuvr68Comix]

Great list. It added to my personal playlist but The Raid deserved more prominence.

[@eliaslopez8691]

Congratulations on your baby bro! I binge watch your channel all time BTW xD

[@PoilishedMahogony]

thanks for recommending odd thomas, it was great. i loved the context and world that the film established, really wanted to see more.

[@KGVB757]

your one of the only reviewers out there to put John Wick on their list. . . And I TOTALLY agree with you. Although I'd place Nightcrawler at a higher spot.

[@renman8064]

Great vid! Because my top 10 best and top 10 worst exceed the actual 10 bracket (24 "best of" movies and 56 "worst of" films for me), I'll just list those in the actual 10 spots. 2014 - 10 Best #10: Under The Skin #9: Whiplash #8: John Wick #7: Milius (The documentary about director/screenwriter John Milius) #6: 300: Rise of an Empire #5: Lone Survivor #4: Cheap Thrills #3: The Raid 2: Berendal #2: Expendables 3 #1: The Grand Budapest Hotel 2014 - 10 Worst #10: Dumb and Dumber To #9: The Prince (with Jason Patric, Bruce Willis, and John Cusack) #8: Grumpy Cat's Worst Christmas Ever #7: No Good Deed #6: Into the Storm #5: Planes: Fire and Rescue #4: Dead Walkers: Rise of the Fourth Reich #3: Let's Be Cops #2: Knock 'Em Dead #1: Mom's Night Out Keep in mind that for the "worst of" choices, I could not make it to the 20 minute mark in these films.

[@TYLER503DURDEN]

I watched the Guest because of this list. It is so great! I didn't know anything about the movie beyond what was said here, so it was a great experience. I am recommending it to pretty much everyone I know now. Thanks for such great recommendations

[@sporemaster9108]

While I liked the Godzilla 2014 movie, I was disappointed with it overall, as Godzilla only had about 8 minutes of screentime in a movie about him, so I ended up feeling like there wasn't enough Godzilla to justify it being a Godzilla movie, for all intensive purposes they could've replaced Godzilla entirely with another giant monster and it would've been the same experience. Plus they killed off Bryan Cranston within the first hour, which is a waste of perfectly good Bryan Cranston

[@darthhaggis9252]

Glad to see Nightcrawler & Blue Ruin make the list it was my top, have you missed watching a lot of films? 2014 was a super strong year.. Top 10 Best 2014 01. Nightcrawler 02. What We Do In The Shadows 03. Guardians of the Galaxy 04. The Raid 2 05. Kingsman: The Secret Service 06. St. Vincent 07. American Sniper 08. Birdman 09.The Theory of Everything 10.

Dying of the Light 06. Let's Be Cops 07. Life After Beth 08. Dumb and Dumber to 09. TMNT 10. Lucy

[@TILB9]

Great video Cecil! I'd like to know what your thoughts on Birdman, Big Eyes, Grand Budapest Hotel, Wiplash and The amazing Spider-Man 2 are. Also, what do you think of Wes Anderson as a director?

[@GoodBadFlicks]

TAnimation LB Birdman was a feat of creative filming and a wonderful sight to see Keaton getting attention. (love that guy!) Didn't see Big Eyes, Grand or Whiplash. ASM2 had the problem that Spidey 3 had, too much going on and too little focus. I really like Anderson, Bottle Rocket and Rushmore are terrific.

[@LarryPokeTrainer]

Great list. I still have to see John Wick. Blue Ruin, Starry Eyes, and The Guest were some of my favorites too. I'll have to check out Odd Thomas.

[@bradleygray8336]

Great list and I definitely have some new movies to check out but I'm curious what is your opinion on Interstellar (if you've seen it)? Also, what did you mean when you said that Predestination spoiled their own movie half way through? I don't remember anything like that.

[@icanusernamebetterthanyou3853]

My best of the year: 5: Godzilla I saw a lot of people complaining about the lack of Godzilla in the movie, but I personally found the Mutos to be perfectly capable of conducting the lead-up to the climax. A few plot holes and stupid characters here and there, but all in all, a smarter and generally better than average monster flick. 4: John Wick Imagine that you still remember all the imaginary gun fights and characters that you invented at preschool when you're an adult. You then acquire some advanced techniques and contacts to famous stars and become a director. You would most likely make John Wick. 3: Nightcrawler This is a very weird-good movie (and not in the overused way). It's not the type of weird-good like the nerdy kid at the front of the class who isn't perfect but still has his charms and quirks. It's more the lonely kid who always sits at the back and has general social issues. The only thing you know about him is that he likes birdwatching. You ask to come with him to go birdwatching and he accepts. You ask his why he likes birdwatching and he gives you a shockingly deep and philosophical answer. Also, Jake Gylenhaal as Norman Bates for Psycho remake. 2: Birdman Holy Christ it takes a fantastic movie to truly resonate with me in the way this one does. 1: The Grand Budapest Hotel My god I did not realise how much I missed good physical comedy until I watched this movie. The actors crank it up to eleven in all the good ways, the framing and art design is absolutely gorgeous and it is incredibly funny. I was gonna fit The Lego Movie in, but couldn't find the right place. Still a phenomenal movie. Best year for movies in...well years.

[@RandomKidddo]

Hey Cecil, awesome list! I'll definitely check out Lost Souls pretty soon. On that note have you seen Jodorowsky's Dune? If I'm not mistaken it should be similar to Lost Souls. Also have you seen The Death of Superman Lives yet?

[@canto1408]

Great video, and great list. I actually did a top 11 films of 2014 video at the end of December. At the time I did that video I had not yet seen Nightcrawler or John Wick, or Edge of Tomorrow, now I've seen those films and love them. My top 11 at the time were; 11. Tusk (I know that movie was a mixed bag for a lot of people, but I enjoyed it really because of how weird it was) 10. The Purge: Anarchy (I agree with you, that film is lightyears better than the first film) 9. The Lego Movie 8. Big Hero 6 7. Godzilla (That movie did have a lot of flaws, but I still really enjoyed it) 6. Under The Skin 5. Captain America: The Winter Soldier 4. Guardians of the Galaxy 3. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes 2. Gone Girl (You're dead on with your take on the movie) 1. The Babadook (That was my personal favorite film of last year, I found it to be both a very creepy horror film, and a very moving drama film) I actually have not heard of the movie Blue Ruin, until I watched this video, but now I really want to check it out, it sounds like a film that is right up my alley.

[@lucasdavis1964]

Congratulations on the baby. Cheers!

[@GoodBadFlicks]

Lucas Davis Thank you!

[@lucasdavis1964]

Think nothing of it. Just keep doing what you do.

[@LockeWick]

The Guest was fantastic! I ended up taking a risk on it by buying it on Blu-Ray (for $22, that is a lot over my normal max amount) and I regret nothing. Even my mother who doesn't like slow burn films actually liked the film.

[@GoodBadFlicks]

***** Money well spent!

[@LockeWick]

GoodBadFlicks Also just a quick question, where do you stand on Birdman and Whiplash if you did happen to watch them?

[@thetreeoffilm9971]

My favorite films of 2014 were The Tale of the Princess Kaguya, Whipash, The Look of Silence, Mommy, The Grand Budapest Hotel, Birdman, Gone Girl, Song of the Sea, Winter Sleep, Art and Craft, The Raid 2, Interstellar, The LEGO Movie, Two Days One Night, Force Majeure, It Follows, Inherent Vice, The Babadook, A Most Violent Year, A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night, The Guest, The Imitation Game, Clouds of Sils Maria, Mr. Turner, Wild, Still Alice, Under the Skin, Foxcatcher, Ida, Lost River, The Dance of Reality, We Are the Best, Nymphomaniac ( Extended Director's Cut ), and my favorite of the year, Goodbye to Language. They are all films I would highly recommend, and these are all films I would give at least a 7, most much higher. I'm pretty sure you haven't heard of many of these, but I would recommend watching them.

[@runningohfive]

Some great stuff on that list. I personally loved Whiplash, Birdman, Winter Soldier and The Lego Movie. I put them under my top favs as well as some of the ones you mentioned. I would add Guardians of The Galaxy too.

[@BovinaSancta79]

Thanks. I'll definately look into some of these!

[@KirbyCrossing]

My Top 10 of 2014 (although _technically speaking_ half of them were released in 2013) 1. The Wind Rises 2. Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) 3. Coherence 4. Under the Skin 5. Inherent Vice 6. Snowpiercer 7. Roaring Currents 8. A Hard Day 9. Moebius 10. Tazza 2: The Hidden Card Honorable Mention: No Tears for the Dead My Bottom 3 of 2014 1. The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies 2. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 3. Captain America: The Winter Soldier

[@mikerone49]

Love your work. i hear a lot of school words. Mind if I ask what areas of study ?? Also, back off my "Lucy". I know, there will never be an Academy Award for it, no matter how much Morgan Freeman you put in it. But I'd have a Scar Jo "sandwich" breakfast, lunch, and dinner, of it were possible !

[@GoodBadFlicks]

Thanks! I have a background in radio and editing. I had high hopes for Lucy and I do like Scarlet but the weird editing and stupid plot prevented me from liking it. Lots of talent involved but the end result was silly.

[@thafilmguy1]

Congrats on having the kid! I've always thought that Odd Thomas has a lot of elements from Peter Jackson's The Frighteners.

[@dfailsthemost]

Dude. I really dont know anyone else who I can recommend odd Thomas to. I liked the book but loved the film. Your picks fuckin kick ass.

[@radioblueheart]

Good list! I am going to check out those. Especially "Lost Soul". There are now two documentaries about Cannon films, one by the director of "Not Quite Hollywood". If you want another bad movie for 2014, check out "The Pyramid". Aja produced it but if he had directed it, it probably would have turned out better. It starts out as a found footage film but turns into a found footage/traditional narrative hybrid. It was not a good movie by any stretch of the imagination but I couldn't hate it. I am a freak for anything Ancient Egyptian.

[@tomermana167]

whiplash?????????

[@DrRockso79]

Oh man, Blue Ruin... definitely one of the best late night random Netflix recommendations I've seen in awhile. It was like the Unforgiven of revenge movies.

[@JoelyMaleReviews1]

Please do a GoodBad Flicks on Vampire Academy! It is such a so-bad-it's-good film.

[@miloa.2684]

Gone Girl is one of the few movies I consider to be one of my personal favorites of all time I remember seeing this in theaters and wishing it wouldn't end I re watch this movie many times and never get bored and always find something new

[@robdawg99]

Great LIST! I think I agree with most or all the choices that you made. The ones in your top ten that I haven't seen I added to a list to watch. Great Job, keep it up! I didnt see Interstellar on your list, I think you would enjoy that one. Oh and congrats on the kiddo! As you might be able to tell from the my picture my wife and I had our first kid June 26 of 2014. He is so much fun. I cant wait to introduce him to The Star Wars Trilogy. :)

Richard Stanley does still make films, mostly short films atm, but he does hope to film his Hardware sequel at some point

[@JAFOpty]

love these lists, I missed so many good movies

[@TheZombiejohn75]

The lady in Nurse was notoriously difficult to work with before that movie even came out. People on Boardwalk Empire stated she was horrible to be around and acted like she was above everyone else in talent, so, she ruined her career, not that movie...but it sure did suck.

[@gialloman22]

Great list :) I agree with the movies on these lists that I've seen expect for Lucy and teenager mutant ninjas turtles, Iloved Lucy. I know it isn't a good movie but I was impressed by how much it didn't follow standard action movie plotting and the off ball editing.

[@businessghost3008]

Omg finally! Been waiting seven months for this!

[@tylerskiss]

Great list, but I'll swap you one Odd Thomas (seeing as it is a 2013 film) and I'll raise you The Rover! The Rover was amazing. I'm shocked it's not on the list. And congratulations on the new addition to the family.

[@GoodBadFlicks]

Cyril Odd wasn't released in the US until Feb 2014. I haven't heard of The Rover, I'll look for it. Thanks! :)

[@tylerskiss]

GoodBadFlicks i just didn't want to nix anything and offend anyone, so I chose one I could nix on a technicality.

[@GoodBadFlicks]

Cyril no worries :)

[@JakeDriver]

Babygoodbadflicks Congrats dude :D

[@GoodBadFlicks]

Jake Driver lol thanks! He's already watched Leprechaun with me so I'm starting him off right.

[@evantripler666]

GoodBadFlicks start them young i guess

[@manuelnunez4484]

I haven't seen the number 1 on your list. I'll see it tonight. When I was a kid love Mureau's movie, now I know it sucks! "Whiplash", "Under the Skin" and "Locke" are on my top 10

[@DevilsAdvocateShow]

I trust your opinion on things, I think I've got a bunch of new movies to watch. Just wondering where Kevin Smith's Tusk would have fit on here, good or bad? I honestly enjoyed it myself.

[@BruceGiffordJustMyOpinion]

There were too many great films last year. I even feel bad for the films I have in my top 40's because some of them on any other year would be in my top 20! 30. Boyhood 29. Bad Words 28. Edge of Tomorrow 27. Under the Skin 26. A Walk Among the Tombstones 25. Big Hero 6 24. The Raid 2 23. The Sacrament 22. The Guest 21. Enemy 20. Chef 19. The Grand Budapest Hotel 18. The Babadook 17. Snowpiercer 16. Nightcrawler 15. Interstellar 14. Afflicted 13. The Lego Movie 12. Lone Survivor (released Jan 2014) 11. Captain America: Winter Soldier 10. Guardians of the Galaxy 9. Big Eyes 8. Whiplash 7. The Imitation Game 6. Godzilla 5. Birdman 4. How to Train Your Dragon 2 3. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes 2. Fury 1. Gone Girl

[@willsi]

Also, quick note, Stanley's "Hardware" is solid and so frequently forgotten. Maybe it was GoodBadFlicks I heard about it from. Can't recall. Anyways! Tip of the hat.

[@spiderjerusalem100]

John Wick is my movie of 2014, i freakin' loved everything about it. I thought Edge of tomorrow was brilliant too.

[@aurthurpendragon1015]

Have you seen Island of Lost Souls from 1932? It was the first film adaptation of Island of Dr. Moreau.

[@LarryPokeTrainer]

My top 10: 1. Birdman 2. The Guest 3. Blue Ruin 4. We Are the Best! 5. Moebius 6. Guardians of the Galaxy 7. Gone Girl 8. Starry Eyes 9. The Babadook 10. Stage Fright

[@maggotthemadman8142]

I subscribed solely on the recommendation of The Guest, that movie was everything I loved about movies.

[@Siderite]

I will have to say that Gone Girl for me was nice until they revealed "the twist" which I saw coming from a long time before anyway, and then the rest of it felt completely pointless.

[@MutaScale]

Even know Frank Grillo isn't Punisher in the MCU (Duh, he's Crossbones XD), what do you think of Jon Bernthal from "The Walking Dead" being cast as Punisher? While not my first choice (Would have loved to seen Joe Manganiello as him), he sounds good.

[@Burori1]

Funny enough, I enjoyed Transformers 4. It was basically "PTSD Alien machines", the movie and you just feel so bad for Optimus, because of everything he went through in the movies before this.
