| Interstellar | 2014 | 96 | 2 | |
| Sunshine | 2007 | 93 | 3 | (full review) - This film blew me away. I was not ready for how crazy interesting it ended up being. |
| Birdman | 2014 | 92 | 4 | - As we walked towards the theater exit, an older woman told me, a stranger, that she hated the movie. I felt quite different about it than she did, but I can understand where she's coming from. It isn't for everyone, but it's a damn fine film from all aspects. |

| Sunset Blvd | 1950 | 87 | 13 | |
| The Sand Pebbles | 1966 | 87 | 13 | (full review) |
| Wolf of Wall Street, The | 2013 | 87 | 13 | (full review) - It felt like Catch Me If You Can mixed with Boiler Room, made by a great director and partially financed by Cinemax. |

| LEGO Movie, The | 2014 | 85 | 24 | |
| Secretariat | 2010 | 85 | 24 | |
| The Drop | 2014 | 85 | 24 | - Not quite what I was expecting, but the performances were really good and the story moved along at a nice pace. I would definitely recommend it. |

| Don Jon | 2013 | 83 | 32 | |
| Great Escape, The | 1963 | 83 | 32 | - A bit long and the ending could have been much better and still in keeping with the true events. |
| I Declare War | 2013 | 83 | 32 | - Way more intense than I was expecting. Could have used more comedy. |
| Pain And Gain | 2013 | 83 | 32 | |
| Sting, The | 1973 | 83 | 32 | - Not enough time spent tying up loose ends and explaining how things fit together, but if you don't need FULL closure it is still a really clever movie. |
| Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, The (2013) | 2013 | 82 | 38 | - The ending lost it a couple points. So did the special effects at times where it really looked like green-screen. |

| Place Beyond the Pines, The | 2013 | 82 | 38 | - The first half of the film is excellent and the ending helps pull it all together. |
| St. Vincent | 2014 | 82 | 38 | |
| Turbo | 2013 | 82 | 38 | - Tons of heart. The animation and racing scenes were incredible. |
| Before Sunset | 2004 | 81 | 47 | - The dialogue was very natural and the technical aspects of the film were really good. The story was interesting but not great. Heavy on the light-drama. |
| Close Encounters Of The Third Kind | 1977 | 81 | 47 | |
| Much Ado About Nothing (2013 Joss Whedon) | 2013 | 81 | 47 | - All the better were it more easy on mine ears to listen and gently comprehend. |
| This Is Where I Leave You | 2014 | 81 | 47 | - Much more heart to it than I expected. Rose Byrne was really good in it, as was Adam Driver and Timothy Olyphant. |

| Frozen | 2013 | 80 | 51 | - A bit intense but a decent storyline. |

| Jack Reacher | 2012 | 80 | 51 | |
| Lincoln | 2012 | 80 | 51 | - Acting was good, as were the costumes and scenery. Pacing was too slow. Dialogue was painful. Took two tries to get through it. Tempted to rate it lower. |

| Mud | 2013 | 80 | 51 | |

| Bad Words | 2014 | 78 | 70 | |
| Kick-Ass 2 | 2013 | 78 | 70 | - Not as fun as the first, but the side characters had some good potential. The villains were the downfall. |

| Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead | 1991 | 76 | 77 | |
| Killing Them Softly | 2012 | 76 | 77 | - Too slow to start and uninteresting side stories detract from an otherwise interesting film with good direction and excellent cinematography. |

| Hyde Park On Hudson | 2012 | 75 | 79 | |
| Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home | 1986 | 75 | 79 | - Thus far the most fun of the old Star Trek films. Avoided being goofy. |

| Cars 2 | 2011 | 70 | 87 | |
| Inside Llewyn Davis | 2013 | 70 | 87 | - Just a little confusing in spots and the pacing was too slow for my taste. I had pity for the main character, but too many things were going wrong for him, and I do not enjoy movies like that. Fine work from all involved. |
| Night of the Living Dead | 1968 | 70 | 87 | - Not what I was expecting at all. |
| Oceans Eleven (1960) | 1960 | 70 | 87 | - The ending was very underwhelming. |

| Promised Land | 2012 | 70 | 87 | |
| Raging Bull | 1980 | 70 | 87 | (full review) - Good performances in a slow movie without likable characters. |
| Saving Mr. Banks | 2013 | 70 | 87 | |
| To Do List, The | 2013 | 70 | 87 | |
| Machete | 2010 | 68 | 97 | |
| Noah | 2014 | 68 | 97 | - The rock monsters seemed to be woven into the story to help create more action, but they detracted from the film. |
| Surviving Christmas | 2004 | 68 | 97 | - Somewhat interesting premise which plays out partially goofy but also has a lot of heart. |
| Warm Bodies | 2013 | 67 | 100 | |
| Greenberg | 2010 | 65 | 101 | - Half as awkward as Frances Ha. |
| Justice League: War | 2014 | 65 | 101 | - Finished strong but the majority of the film was poorly written, and not just the dialogue. |

| Take Me Home | 2011 | 58 | 109 | |
| Muppet Christmas Carol, The | 1992 | 57 | 110 | - This is barely a Muppets movie. It is more of a Michael Caine movie with a few Muppets involved. |
| Pacific Rim | 2013 | 57 | 110 | (full review) |
| Four Christmases | 2008 | 55 | 112 | |
| Over Her Dead Body | 2008 | 53 | 113 | - At times it went into absurdity, and at least one of the subplots was terrible, but somehow Paul Rudd and Lake Bell make up for some of it. Still not a great movie. |
| Our Idiot Brother | 2011 | 50 | 114 | |
| Girl Most Likely | 2013 | 45 | 115 | |
| Paranoia | 2013 | 45 | 115 | |
