Did any of American Hustle's great cast make the cut? |
Here's my attempt at a fairly complete list. Last year was so great I could've done a top 100 if I'd seen a few more noteworthy performances. A reminder of some titles I haven't seen yet: The Past, Wadjda, The Broken Circle Breakdown, Child's Pose, Like Someone in Love, The Great Beauty, Beyond the Hills, Gloria, Kill Your Darlings, Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom, The Kings of Summer, Caesar Must Die, Simon Killer, What Maisie Knew, and Hannah Arendt.

YAY! I love these lists. Larson! Leto! Foster!
ReplyDeleteGlad you love those picks! :) Putting these in order was a nightmare. I already want to change some of them.
DeleteThat is a nice list. It's going to take me some years to create something that is definitive. Maybe in 2019/2020 when I do make a list of the best films of that decade.
ReplyDeleteThanks man. I'm not sure I'll ever have a definitive list.
DeleteGlad to see Hill on your list! There is so much undeserved hate for this guy. Robbie was amazing too, she really held her own.
ReplyDeleteHe was so close to making my supporting actor lineup. Glad I was able to mention him here. And Robbie was wonderful. I wish she had been nominated.
DeleteAwesome list, man! I have decided to post a top 25 only though my shortlist is wayyy into 60s. Great year for performances.
ReplyDeleteThanks! :) Yeah, mine was in the 60s or 70s. Too many great performances!
DeleteOoh, I like this list.
ReplyDeleteThanks! :)
DeleteAwesome list Josh! I agree w/ a lot of the ones who've been getting a lot of buzz, like Johansson in Her, Margot Robbie, Nyong'O, etc. but so glad you included Julianne Nicholson from August: Osage County, she's so grossly overlooked!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ruth! Julianne Nicholson almost made my supporting actress lineup. She was great!
