2015 was a great year in film. It brought us some amazing movies that were inspiring and entertaining, all at the same time. I wanted to bring together my favorite movies of this year because there were truly some gems. I’m still looking forward to seeing a few others, like Joy, Carol and The Hateful Eight, so my list isn’t exactly complete, but you should still check out my favorite films of 2015 so far. Read on and let me know what you think in the comments section.
Inside Out- Disney and Pixar have brought us some of the best films of the century including, Toy Story, Brave and Up. The list goes on and on. Inside Out is just another great Pixar film. This movie looks into those emotions that control our daily activity. It reminded us that all emotions are valid, while making us laugh and tear up all at the same time.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens- Star Wars: The Force Awakens was one of the biggest films of the year. It changed the game on the Star Wars franchise and brought us a seriously amazing film, not to mention a strong female character. If you watched the film, then you know how amazing Rey is.
The Martian- The Martian had a lot of heart and humor, considering it’s a science fiction film about an astronaut stranded on Mars. Matt Daemon is great as the title character and the whole cast helps to really bring this film together.
Mad Max: Fury Road- Mad Max: Fury Road was an incredible film. It was intense and powerful. I especially loved Charlize Theron as Furiosa. She was a strong female character and practically saves the day with Mad Max’s help. If you haven’t seen this movie, please watch it now.
Ant Man- Ant Man is a different kind of super hero movie, but don’t let that deter you from watching it. With an 80% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, it makes for a must-watch.
