It is the year of the Spikes. The final dethroning of Disney in animation again. Remakes. One of the finest portrayals of humanity and of course the Coen Brothers. All of these films have great directors and some of have dream casts. I hope you enjoy this list.
7. Her directed by Spike Jonze: A film with Joaquin Phoenix where he dates robots. If you're not interested, I don't know what film planet you're on.
6. The Wind Rises directed by Hayao Miyazaki A film about the creation of World War II planes as a passion with no intended malice that really brings about a philosophical and moral debate of creation.
5. Carrie If you're going to remake the Brian De Palma classic, why not use the director from Boys Don't Cry to deal with a teenager's agonizing growing experience?
4. Oldboy directed by Spike Lee, starring Josh Brolin, Sharlto Copley, Elizabeth Olsen and Samuel L. Jackson. Is this the year of great remakes?
3. 12 Years a Slave directed by Steve McQueen An avenger A-list actors' cast with an A-list director. It is a visceral film that makes you think about humanity a la a Stanley Kubrick film without the code.
2. The Counselor directed by Ridley Scott, written by Cormac McCarthy (his first original screenplay for film.) A great cast.
1. Inside Llewyn Davis directed by the Coen Brothers. A film about the NYC 1960s folk music scene that has been compared to a sad Alice in Wonderland.
