In this blog, I'll count down my favorite movies of 2015 - and I'll do it Twitter-style - in 140 characters or less. (Disclaimer: Keep in mind that I did not see every movie that came out this year, nor am I listing every single show that I watched.) With no further ado, here are my top 15 movies. Let's get to it!
15. The Divergent Series: Allegiant (@Divergent)
- I struggled to finish the book. The movie wasn't any better. I'm losing faith in this series and I'm not looking forward to #Insurgent.
14. Tomorrowland (#TomorrowlandMovie)
- Biggest disappointment of the year, in my opinion. I fell asleep during a pivotal scene in the movie's "third act." No Space Mountain? #lame
13. The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 (@TheHungerGames)
- This was the "least good" of the four movies. Felt a bit too long - and I didn't love the ending of book it was based on, either. #TeamGale
12. Inside Out (@PixarInsideOut)
- A witty, clever movie about childhood depression. So sad. I saw it first at a drive-in theater, which was a terrible idea. #BingBongBingBong
11. Ant-Man (@AntMan)
- It definitely didn't suck as much as the previews made it seem. Better the second time. Funny, but not my favorite from Marvel's Phase Two.
10. Bridge of Spies (@BridgeOfSpies)
- Cold. Gray. Amazing. A fascinating story that kind of made me feel bad for the Russian. Tom Hanks is great, as we've all come to expect.
9. SPECTRE (@007)
- Not as good as #Skyfall, but a fun ride with a surprising twist that is a big payoff for long-time Bond fans. Also, Batista is a beast.
8. The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (@ManFromUNCLE)
- Bond with a sense of humor. A couple of truly laugh-out-loud scenes and a totally rockin' soundtrack. Cavill and Hammer make a good team.
7. Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation (@MissionFilm)
- Is there anything @TomCruise won't do? The airplane scene was definitely the best opening sequence of 2015. This tweet will self-destruct...
6. The Peanuts Movie (@PeanutsMovie)
- I'll be doggone if this wasn't the cutest little movie I've ever seen. A wonderful, G-rated family film that anyone can enjoy. #TwoThumbsUp
5. Avengers 2 - Age of Ultron (@Avengers)
- Not as good as the first one, but a great addition to the franchise. Gotta love those action scenes with all of the Avengers in action.
4. McFarland, USA (#McFarlandUSA)
- Having served Spanish-speaking, this movie nearly brought me to tears on several occasions - and I don't even like running! A 2015 must-see.
3. Jurassic World (@JurassicPark)
- A big-budget blockbuster with plenty of excitement and superb CGI. A step up from J.P. 2 & 3 and practically on par with the original film.
2. Creed (@creedmovie)
- Creed got me right in the feels like a sucker punch to the kidney. A worthy successor to the Rocky films. Hoping for a sequel. #GonnaFlyNow
1. Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens (@starwars)
- My most anticipated film of 2015 was absolutely worth the wait. It's now one of my new favorite movies and I'll definitely see it again.
