Film: It’s that thing that gives Adam Sandler ample opportunities for dicking around on vacation. It’s also an art form that could produce beautiful, awesome, wonderful things.
Rolling Stone writer David Ehrlich has crafted another gloriously edited and soundtracked look back at the best cinema had to offer in 2015. Kicking off with an enchanting swirl of images from the year’s most memorable pictures, things shift to a proper Top 25 countdown. The spoiler risk is mild, but there is a warning that key Phoenix details could be on display. Protect yourself accordingly.
On the subject of disclaimers, Ehrlich knows you’re going to ask why he isn’t taking the new Star Wars installment into consideration. Here’s his take…
*no, i have not seen Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Star Wars has never really been my thing. in a perfect world i would have seen it before finalizing this video, but waiting for the 7th installment of a franchise to which i have no real attachment didn’t seem worth it. i hope you understand.
We won’t spoil what clocks in at No. 1, but we’ll mention that Mad Max: Fury Road, Mistress America and Don Hertzfeldt’s World of Tomorrow all make appearances on the way to the top. Press the little triangle located in the big rectangle above and compare notes with your own year-end list.
